Succumbs to Heart Failure Brought on
by Complication of Diseases Fu
neral Services to Be Held Wednes
day, With Interment at Troy, N. Y.
New York, July 23. Russell Sago
died suddenly nt his country homo,
"Cednrcroft," at Lawrence, L. I. The
immediate cause of death was heart
failure, resulting from n complication
of diseases incident to old ngo. Tho
veteran financier would have celebrat
ed hlB ninetieth birthday on Aug. 4.
Mr. Sago had been In exceptionally
good health since his arrival at hla
summer home, about six months ago.
At noon he was seized with a sinking

riously nh'ected by his death. '
Sketch of His Career.
Russell Sage, multi-millionaire and
nestor of American financiers, was
born on Aug. 4, 18115, in Verona
Oneida county, N. Y., where his pa
rents, Fllsha and Petr'enco Sage,
members of a little company of pio
neers from Connecticut, hnd halted
while on their westward march In
quest of a homestead. At the ago of
twelve years, Russell began his ca
reer as Jin errand boy In the grocery
store of his brother, Henry, In Troy.
At the age of twenty-two he establish
ed a wholesale grocery of his own in
that place. In 1S.17 tho young mer
chant had acquired a fortune esti
mated at half a million dollars, a vast
amount lor those days, and deter
mined to retire from active business
life, lie had, however, already be
come interested in railroads, his first
transaction of this character being a
loan to tho LaCrossc Railroad com
pany, which led to further transac
tions, resulting In his acquiring largo
interests in the ronds now forming tlio
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul sys
tem, of which ho became vice presi
dent. This determined Mr. Sage to
devote his future energies to opera
tions In Wall street, nnd In 18G3' ho
opened his first office In Now York.
About this time he formed an asso
ciation with Jay Gould, which contin
ued for many years. About 1872 Mr.
Sage originated tho system of trading
in "puts," "cnlls" and "straddles," In
which he continued to deal thereafter
on a colossal scale. Whllo he pur
chased a seat on the New York Stock
exchange In 1874, It Is believed that
he never appeared on the floor of tho
exchange.
Only once, It is said, did Mr. Sago
experience a tremendous reverse,
which would hnve crushed most men,
but from which ho emerged with
courage and confidence unshaken.
This was on tho memorable day In
1881, when tho great failure of Grant
& Ward was announced, resulting In
the loss to Mr. Sage of about $0,000.
000 on a long line of "puts."
A the time of his death, Mr. Sago
was an officer and director In twenty
five great railway and telegraph cor
porations. An Inclitent which startled tho
whole country occurred In Mr. Snge's
i office, In the old Arcade building, 71
Broadway, on Dec. 4, 1891. On that
day ho was visited by Henry P. Nor
cross of Boston, a mnn of unbalanced
mind, who demanded an lmmedlato
gift or $1,200,000. When the demand
was refused Norcross dropped a dyna
mite bomb upon the floor, the explo
sion of which decapitated Norcross,
killed ono of tho clerks and wrecked
the whole office. Mr. Sage was only
slIgMly hurt by tho explosion.
, Mr. Sago was married twlco, first in
IS 11 to Miss Maya Whine, daughter
of Moses I. Wlnno or Troy. Ills wlfo
Jled In New York city In 1SG7, nnd
two years later ho married Margaret
Olivia, daughter of Joseph Slocum of
Syracuse.

If the allegations are true about 100
immigrants, mostly Germans, aro

Germans reached here from the enmps '
stating that they had escaped. They"
went to tho German vice-consul for

treatment ar.d cruelty that has hardly
a parallel in tho South. They said
they were brought south In February
under representations thnt they would
receive $4 and $5 per day, but only $1,
was received from the conipnny for
their labor. They allege that they
woio compelled to eat after the Ameri
cans, and if nothing was left they got
nothing. Nono of them was allowed
to leave camp and when they at
tempted to leavo they were caught
and severely beaten. When In tho
woods the bosses go armed, and If the
