G.E. FAHM, AGED VETERAN, DEAD--PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AFTER A LONG AND LINGERING ILLNESS.

            Maj. Geo. E. Fahm passed away yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Gustaf Anderson, after a long and lingering illness. He had been a sufferer for many months and a few weeks ago was placed in the city hospital, where it was soon realized that his death was only a matter of days, and it was then decided to remove him to the home of his daughter.
            Major Fahm was 79 years of age, was a Confederate veteran, and wounds which he received in the battles of the sixties, six in all, partly brought on his illness. While, of course, his death was not due to these old wounds, when he was taken ill two of the wounds for the first time in years gave him some pain, and during the past few days these wounds became sore and painful. This is said to be the first time that they have given him any trouble in  years.
            Mr. Fahm fought in many of the hardest battles in the Civil War. In the battle of Gettysburg he received two serious wounds on the same day, and was in many other hard struggles.
            The deceased was also a Mason, one of the oldest members in this city, and has been an active member of the Confederate Veterans association ever since the Civil War. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Anderson, one son, John R. Fahm, one brother, Captain B.A. Fahm, and one sister, Mrs. Oxford Green, all of this city.
            The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. L.E. Roberts, of the Baptist church, officiating. The Masons, Confederate veterans, Daughters of the Confederacy, and other such organizations, attending.

            The suicide of Mr. Fish in Brunswick possesses an interest to Macon for the reason that only a few days ago a Macon man married his daughter. The Brunswick Morning News gives these further particulars:
            The story of Mr. Fish’s life is a sad one. From what can be learned he was a man that had seen better days. He was born of wealthy parents in northern Kentucky; had been given a fine education, and until manhood had been accustomed to luxury and idleness. He married a New York lady of refinement and culture. When the war came it swept away their home in Kentucky. After the war they grew poorer each year. Mr. Fish began drinking, and from bad to worse they moved from place to place until they came to Brunswick where they did not see the best of this world’s good things, and fortune was not favorable in her smiles. Mrs. D.T. Dunn discovered that Mrs. Fish and herself were from the same town and took quite an interest in her, and when Hanover park was enclosed, and the city decided to beautify it, Mr. Dunn secured the place of park-keeper for Mr. Fish, as everybody in this city knows, was devoted to his work, and his very life seemed wrapt [sic] up in the flowers, and he guarded them with jealous care.
            A few years ago his only son died and he never ceased to grieve for the boy. Early this summer his wife went north to visit her people and report said that she would not return to her poverty stricken home. His only remaining child, a young lady, remained until last Tuesday, when she was married to a young man of Macon, and left for the home of her husband. A few nights ago some miscreant under cover of night, cut down some of the most choice flowers in the park. Then, too, a good deal has been said of late, in politics, concerning the wisdom of keeping a man on a salary to watch after the park. All of these things preyed on his mind, and it has been noticed by several people of late that he was very moody and peculiar. He had a conversation with Mr. J.R. Cook a day or two since, in which Mr. Cook thought that Mr. Fish was not balanced in mind. The supposition is that he brooded over his troubles until he felt that he had no friends; that his family and all that were dear had gone or deserted him, and in a fit of desperation he took away his own life.

PARK POLICEMAN FISH Takes his own Life by Blowing his Brains Out.

            Park Policeman J.W. Fish shot himself last Saturday with a .38 calibre Smith & Wesson pistol whilst seated in a chair in his kitchen.
            Mrs. Fish has been away for some time visiting relatives and friends in New York and Kentucky. Miss Ella Fish, the daughter, was married two days before to Mr. Jas. McRea, of Macon, so there were none of the family at home, except Mr. Fish.
            A gentleman named Barnard and his family from Florida occupy rooms upstairs in Mr. Fish’s house. About seven o’clock in the morning Mr. Barnard heard the report of the pistol, and found on coming down stairs Mr. Fish seated in a chair in the kitchen, pistol still in hand and his head leaning back against the window, with a ghastly hole in his right temple and the blood and brains oozing out.
            Policeman Dubberly was soon on the ground and took charge. The writer got to the scene shortly after, and found that life was extinct.
            Those who have seen most of him lately, state that he has been quite low spirited of late, saying that he would lose his place as Park Policeman in the new deal in politics this winter, and that he has been drinking heavily of late.
            We could find no writing of any kind except an unsealed envelope on the bureau in his room, addressed to Mrs. Jas. McRea, No. 454 Oak street, Macon, Ga., containing a post office notice of registered letter in post office for Miss Ella Fish.

DEATH OF MR. O.H. FISH

            On Sunday last this gentleman passed away suddenly, the victim of a congestive chill. He was at the breakfast table apparently in good health and spirits, though he had been unwell for several days, and at noon he was a corpse. His death was a shock to our people, he being well known and much liked and respected. His stricken relatives, and especially that aged mother, have our most sincere circumstances. His funeral took place on Monday, and was largely attended. He was interred with military honors by the Riflemen, of which he was a member. Our band, of which he was also at one time a member, participated in the ceremonies.

CARD OF THANKS—EDITORS ADVERTISER AND APPEAL:—Please allow us, through your columns, gratefully to acknowledge the kind ministrations of the good people of this city during the brief fatal illness of our son, O.H. Fish. To the band and military company, the ladies making floral offerings, and to the large concourse in attendance at the funeral obsequies, we tender sincere gratitude. The demonstrations of such sympathy will be a treasured memory in connection with the almost crushing bereavement of THE FAMILY.

            Mrs. Fiveash during the past several months had undergone two or three operations in efforts made to spare her life and as a last resort she was carried to Atlanta some three weeks ago for treatment, but her condition gradually became worse, and for the past two or three days she had been lingering between life and death. She suffered to a great extent during her long illness.

            Mrs. Fiveash is survived by her husband, one daughter, Eugenia, 12, her mother, Mrs. A.H. Timmerman, of Stockton; four brothers, H.H., R.S. and O.O., of Atlanta, and J.W.

VETERAN OF THREE WARS—CAPT. CHAS. E. FLANDERS, AN OLD LANDMARK PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY

            Captain Chas. E. Flanders, a veteran of three wars and one of the most highly esteemed citizens in this section, died at his home in this city at an early hour yesterday morning.
            Captain Flanders’ military experience has been notable in many ways and during three bloody contests in the last sixty years, he has been closely in touch with its fiercest ravages. He first saw military life in the famous Mexican war and during that period held  many positions of trust in the army service of his country, and, up to his death, was receiving pensions for gallant service in that conflict. During that war he served as a private in the Floyd Rifles, of Macon, Ga. Later, when the war cry was sounded again and the Union was called upon to defend itself against the Indians, he responded promptly and saw service during that famous scene of carnage which is well recorded in the nation’s history.
            He removed to Brunswick from Macon in the early fifties and a few years later, when strife between the states was announced, and the Civil war resulted, for the third time, he took up arms and marched away to the Virginias as second lieutenant in the Brunswick Riflemen. In this war he was signally honored by the Confederacy, and at one time was detached from his regular command by Colonel John Scriven for the purpose of assisting in the construction of the Confederate navy. His work in this line was done at Savannah and other points on the Carolina river, and for this distinguished service he was breveted to the rank of captain by President Davis upon the recommendation of Colonel Screven.
            When this bloody conflict ended and Appomattox saw the fate of the Confederacy, Captain Flanders returned to Brunswick, rejoined his old command, the Brunswick Riflemen, and was made quartermaster of the command. When old years came upon him and the work was too active for him the company made him it’s “father,” and from that day to the present he has held that very loving position in the hearts of his youthful comrades, and a life-size picture of the gallant old warrior is now one of the valuable emblems decorating the armory of the Riflemen.
            Captain Flanders, during his long life in Brunswick, has held many positions of trust and honor, he was a consistent member of the Episcopal church, and besides a devoted wife, leaves six children to mourn his loss. Last night a detachment from the Brunswick Riflemen were detained as an honorary guard and were in charge of the remains.
            The funeral will occur at 3 o’clock today at St. Mark’s Episcopal church, with full military honors, and the remains will be laid to rest in that hallowed spot, where thousands of old soldiers are sleeping their last sleep—Oak Grove cemetery.
            In connection with Captain Flander’s [sic] death it may be of interest to say that the entire city is bowed in deepest mourning, and the funeral today promises to be the most imposing cortege in Brunswick’s history.
            The military record of the deceased is unique, in that it is not likely that half dozen veterans now living can lay claim to as many wars and as many deeds of valor as has fallen to his lot.

BURNED TO DEATH—The Terrible fate of An Atlanta Lady in Brunswick.

            BRUNSWICK, Ga., November 8.—[Special.]—About 7 o’clock tonight a human pillar of fire was seen running down Egmont street. Terrific screams attracted a crowd, which ran to the burning figure. A blanket was hastily thrown from a window. The fire was extinguished, and the unfortunate victim was found to be Mrs. Dudley Fleming, formerly Miss Alice Jones, of Atlanta, the wife of an engineer on the Brunswick and Western road. The burns are pronounced fatal and death is expected hourly. The dying woman sent for Rev. Mr. McCook, and the scene at the bedside was touching. The accident was caused by lighting a fire with kerosene oil. Mrs. Fleming leaves three children, boys. Her mother and brother are expected from Atlanta today. Spectators pronounce it the most heartrending scene ever witnessed in Brunswick.

DEATH OF A CHILD—Little George Fleming Passed Away Yesterday

            George the little son of Mr. and Mrs. P.W Fleming died yesterday morning after two weeks’ illness, with a complication of diseases. During his illness all that the best medical skill and devoted nursing could perform for the little sufferer was done but the frail body and delicate constitution were unable to withstand the progress of the malady, and at length the little one found rest in the sleep that knows no earthly waking. George was a very bright, winsome little fellow and during his short five years of life he had won a warm spot in the hearts of his relatives and friends and was the joy of his parents. In the aching void his death has left, his memory alone must live and He who gave and hath taken away will comfort those who grieve for the loved little one whose place is vacant. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. The funeral will occur this morning from the residence at nine o’clock, Rev. Rede officiating.
            The following gentlemen will act as pallbearers: Drs. Hugh Burford, R.E.L. Burford, A.C. Blain, and Mr. R.R. Hopkins.

LOUIS FLEMING DROWNED—Was Cashier of Savings and Trust Company—Indications Point to Suicide.

            Savannah, March 31.—Special from Brunswick to the Morning News says.
            Cashier Louis Fleming, of the Brunswick Savings and Trust company, was drowned today. Indications point to suicide, but several theories are advanced. Bank officials announced that his cash and book accounts are straight except for an error in addition of $100 on his discount book.
            Bank Examiner Speer reached Brunswick today. He checked up Mr. Fleming’s cash and it proved correct. He then checked his books and found the small error of $100. Fleming’s attention was called to the error. He put on his hat and said he would be back shortly. Two hours afterward his body was found floating in the river.
            A run commenced on the bank. All demands were promptly met and the bank remained open 15 minutes after banking hours to pay depositors.
            It is believed that today when Examiner Speer spoke of the small error that Mr. Fleming became temporarily unbalanced. He had been working unusually hard, day and night, for months, and his high strung, sensitive nature is believed to have given way. He is believed to have misunderstood the examiner and taken the remark as a reflection on his honor.

CASHIER FLEMING COMMITS SUICIDE—His Body Was Found Floating in Oglethorpe Bay at Noon on Yesterday—HIS ACCOUNTS CORRECT—He Has Some Disagreement With Bank Examiner Speer, Who Was Making an Examination of the Bank Books He Kept.

            Brunswick, March 31.—L.A. Fleming, cashier of the Brunswick Savings and Trust company, lies a corpse on the wharf at Rosendo Torras. His body was found floating in the Oglethorpe bay at half past 12 today. It is supposed that he committed suicide.
            Bank Examiner W.A. Speer is in the city and was making an examination of the bank. About half past 10 he and Fleming were going over the bank papers and checking up various items. It is said they had some contention about an item and Fleming became angry and excited and took his hat and left the bank, saying he would return in a few minutes. The next heard of him was a telephone message stating the body of a man had been found in Oglethorpe bay.
            Investigation proved it to be Fleming.
            Fleming belongs to one of the most prominent families in southern Georgia. His father, T.O. Fleming, was from Liberty county, and they have many relatives throughout the state.
            Louis Fleming was known by nearly everybody in Brunswick and had the confidence of all.
            It is said that his accounts are all right and that there is no shortage. His was an extremely sensitive nature. No other solution of the mystery is offered.
            He was married to Miss Minnie Cargyle, well known in many cities in Georgia, and most highly esteemed here. On the 5^th day of last November the young couple began life under unusually happy auspices.
            The bride is prostrated with inexpressible grief. His mother’s heart is almost broken. No sadder event has ever occurred in Brunswick. His friends think the drowning may have been accidental.
            Bank Examiner Speer has completed the count of the cash and finds every cent called for by the books in the vaults. Vice-President Aiken states that his accounts are absolutely correct as ascertained by the examination made today. A slight run was made on the bank, but it is in condition to meet any run.
            So soon as the facts are known confidence will be restored and there will be no further trouble. The bank does not owe a dollar on rediscounts and has no liability whatever except to depositors.

FLEMING’S FUNERAL—It Was One of the Saddest Events in Brunswick’s History.

            Brunswick, April 1.—The funeral services over Louis A. Fleming were held from St. Mark’s Episcopal church this afternoon. The eight young men who acted as groomsmen at his marriage on the 4^th of last November were pall-bearers.
            Nothing so sad as this death has ever occurred in Brunswick. The death is still shrouded in mystery. A full investigation of the banks affairs furnishes no explanation. So extremely cautious and accurate was he that suicide could only be accounted for upon the theory that the consciousness of having made a slight error involving only $100 temporarily unbalanced his mind.
            Many of his friends think he went on the wharf to find his brother and fell accidentally into the water. There is no trouble with the bank today. So great was public confidence in Fleming here there was no run at all. Bank Examiner Speer says he and Fleming did not have any unpleasant words.

TIGER FLOWERS IS DEAD AFTER MINOR ILLNESS—“Georgia Deacon,” Ex-Ring Champion, Dies Suddenly in New York Hospital.

            New York, November 16.—(AP)—“Tiger” Flowers, the taciturn negro “Praying Deacon” who formerly ruled the middleweight boxing ranks, died shortly after 8 p.m. tonight in a private hospital here following a comparatively minor operation.
            The Atlanta, Ga., battler submitted to an operation for removal of a growth above his right eye at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Although he came out of the either [sic] in “fair” condition, he suffered a sinking spell soon afterward and was rushed back to the operating room, where he failed to rally.
            Flowers, a deacon in a church at Atlanta, Ga., where he made his home, wore the famous “Tiger” bathrobe that has appeared in rings all over the country when he walked to the operating room this afternoon. After a few breaths of ether he murmured his last words:  “If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.”
            The man who lost his title to Flowers—Harry Greb died in a hospital at Atlantic City in October, 1926, under almost the same circumstances. Flowers was beaten for the title in Chicago by Mickey Walker on December 3 of the same year.
            The negro battler, one of the busiest of present-day fighters, won 19 contests this year and seemed due for another chance at his old title due to legal measures planned at Madison Square Garden today to secure a match with Mickey Walker. Flowers fought twice last week, gaining a draw with Maxie Rosenbloom in Detroit November 9 before knocking out Leo Gates, heavyweight, in four rounds here last Saturday.
            Flowers, 32 years old, is survived by a widow and one child.

KNOWN HERE AS THE “WHITEST COLORED MAN.

            Flowers was known in Atlanta as “the whitest colored man in the ring” because of his conduct during his career. He was always game and he always fought his hardest. His conduct was unimpeachable and he was one of the most popular fighters the south has ever produced.
            Born at Camilla, Ga., on August 5, 1895, Flowers spent his early days in Brunswick, where he began fighting. The story among ring followers goes that Walk Miller, back in 1918, sent Billy Hooper, well-known local negro fighter, down to Brunswick to fight Flowers, then an unknown. Flowers knocked Hooper out in short order and the latter came back with the word that Flowers was a comer and Miller brought him to Atlanta.
            At that time Miller owned a gymnasium at the corner of Forsyth and Hunter streets, and he began putting Flowers in preliminaries. His gameness and fighting spirit soon began to attract attention and he advanced rapidly. Under the management of Miller, Flowers was soon fighting better-than-average men and about four years ago made his debut in New York, where he immediately gained popularity.
            Flowers, ofttimes [sic] called the “Fighting Georgia Deacon,” was a prominent church worker among his people and a member of the Butler Street C.M.E. church.
            Once he was established in New York, Flowers kept going up until he got a chance to fight Harry Greb, then holder of the middleweight title. The fight was 15 rounds, to a decision, and went the entire limit. Flowers put up one of the great fights of which he was so capable and won the decision. That was on February 26, 1926.
            Then, on December 3, of the same year, he defended his newly-won crown against the onslaught of Mickey Walker. The fight was held in Chicago, and went 10 rounds. Walker was given the decision, which occasioned considerable wrangling and a return bout was the outgrowth of the arguing which followed the fight.
            There was some argument over Walker’s going through with the return bout, and recently the National Boxing association and the New York boxing commission ordered Walker to meet the Georgia ringster.
            The order by the New York body was issued Wednesday and called for a bout within the next five days.
            Shortly after that story clicked in over the wire, bearing the message that meant so much to this popular and game colored man, those same wires again carried a message—announcing his death. Telling the story of the passing of a great fighter and a good citizen.
            For Flowers was that. He made a good-sized fortune during his ring career and gave a large part of it to colored churches in Atlanta and Georgia. He owned a home in Atlanta that is one of the most beautiful in the city.
            But the followers of ring affairs and those connected with it will miss Tiger Flowers, because he was a square shooter and loved by the white man and colored man alike.

TIGER FLOWERS DIES SUDDENLY IN NEW YORK

            Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, colored, of Brunswick, former middle weight champion of the world, died suddenly in New York Wednesday morning, following a minor operation for the removal of a growth over one eye. Tiger Flowers was raised in Brunswick where his father, Aaron Flowers, still resides, with other members of his family. He entered the ring as a pugilist some twelve years ago under the management of Lee Bailey, colored boxing promoter of the famous L Street Park and became so proficient that he attracted the attention of Walk Miller, promoter of Atlanta, under whose management he steadily climbed the ladder until the championship of his class was his reward. His loss of the title last year is one of the outstanding scandals of the prize ring, it being generally agreed that he was robbed of it by a grossly inaccurate decision of the referee.
            Flowers, always a steady and ambitious man, was known as the Georgia Deacon, because of his publicly announced interest in religion. He saved his money and was reputed to be possessed of considerable wealth, among his holdings being a home in Atlanta said to have cost him $65,000.
            Telegrams received here by members of his family and his lodge, indicate that his body will be brought to Brunswick for burial, either Sunday or Monday. There will be wholesale mourning among the colored population of Brunswick, all of whom revered and respected “Tiger”, who was their idol. He had a wide acquaintance and close friendships among the white people of the city. His father is one of the most highly respected colored citizens of the city.

            Coming to Brunswick years ago when his father, the late Dr. Frank, operated a patent medicine store here, he has since spent about nine months of each year in this city, returning in the summer to New York, his former home.

Mrs. Franklin suffered a fall two months ago, from which she never fully recovered, and this, on account of her advanced age, caused the illness which resulted in her death.

            Mrs. Franklin was possessed of a most lovable character and during her long residence in Brunswick has made an unusually large number of close friends, all of whom will be grieved to learn of her death.
            The deceased was born in Quincy, Fla., on Nov. 17, 1846, being 80 years of age. She was married to John R. Franklin, of this city, who died many years ago, and she has resided in this city continuously since that time. The deceased is survived by the following children:  Misses Josephine and Jennie Franklin, Mrs. Helene Cheatham, Mrs. Mac Anderson, and Mrs. Joe B. Austin.
            The funeral will be held this afternoon at 4 o’clock, from the First Methodist church, Rev. W.P. Blevins conducting the services.

AN OLD-TIMER DEAD—August Frazier, Colored, Slave of the Dart Family, Gone to His Rest.

            There passed away at St. Simon island yesterday an aged colored man, who deserves some mention and whose life work might be an example for the members of his race. “Uncle” August was a slave, belonging to the late Major U. Dart and during the war, at the offer of freedom from his bondage, refused to desert his old master. After the war, he remained in the employment of the Dart family, and even unto death was true to its members.
            The following appreciation of him from Col. J.E. Dart is appropriate:

“Editor of The News:

            “I heard today August Frazier was dead at St. Simon. What a flood of memories comes over me as I think of his faithful services, of his fidelity to our family through all the hardships and privations we went through from ’61 to ’65; how when the launches of the blockaders at St. Simons raided the upper waters of Turtle river, offered him freedom if he would desert his old master; how he refused and told the officer in charge of the launch his old master was his best friend and he wanted no freedom for no one would take care of hi in his old age except his young masters. His young masters were faithful to the faith he had in them; he always had a hoe at Judge Horace Dart’s home so long as he wanted one; he went to St. Simons to spend his last days with his son; he never wanted for a dollar in hiss declining years. August was the last of the old darkies of the Dart family.

            “’What though no rosy tings adorned his face
            No silken tresses shone with flowing grace,
            Yet of ethereal temper was his soul,
            And in his veins the tide of Honor rolled.’

            “He was faithful and true, no matter what his color was.
            “J.E. DART.”

DEATH OF ISAAC FRIEDLANDER

            The particulars of the death of this well known citizen will be found in another part of this paper. The deceased was for many years the largest grain operator in this State. In the height of his business he controlled millions of capital, and had a fleet of the best merchant ships at his command. Although of foreign nativity, his capacity for business, his grasp and his ambition were Californian. For several years he has had the credit of controlling the wheat market of this State. He appeared to have an unlimited credit, and there was no grain proposition so large that he could not close it at once if he chose. Some of his operations were successful, and some disastrous. The risks of his business were of course immense. He chartered ships to arrive, guessing at the ruling rate of freights, and taking advantage of his control of wheat charters to control, to a considerable extent, the price of wheat. During the last two years his operations had not attracted so much attention. His immense area of wheat lands in the San Joaquin Valley had passed out of his hands, and he was recognized rather as the agent of foreign houses in his grain transactions. The business fate so common to Californians of like spirit and grasp, more than once overtook him. He was sometimes the capitalist with millions at command, and sometimes the unfortunate operator compounding with his creditors. He was a strong willed, imperious man, who if seen only on change, would not always be seen in some of the best phases of his character. He took an interest in many benevolent organizations, and often gave liberally when his sympathies were excited. But he was known to the public more as a bold operator—a man of nerve and unbounded ambition, who liked nothing so well as to control the immense interests of the grain market and to disburse millions as the price of this control. He will be missed in business circles where he always had great personal influence. It can hardly be said that he has any successor. Of the group of Californians, who at one time so nearly controlled the leading business interests of the State, there are not many left, and none perhaps who was more prominent than Isaac Friedlander.

DEATH OF ISAAC FRIEDLANDER—A Brief Sketch of His Career—Cause of Death—[illegible] of the Produce Exchange.

            The death of Isaac Friedlander, whose name is a familiar as [sic] a household word, took place very suddenly, at his residence, No. 526 Harrison street, at 5 o’clock this morning, The cause of death was heart disease. He had been a sufferer from this malady for a great many years, but about twelve months ago he had reason to believe that it had succumbed to the vigorous treatment of his physicians. Yesterday, he appeared to feel remarkably well, and was in the best of spirits when he left the office at a late hour yesterday afternoon, after a hard day’s work, indeed, during the past week he mentioned his conviction of his complete restoration to health, with a marked degree of pleasure. He ate a hearty dinner last evening, but complained soon afterward of colic and indigestion. His regular physician, Dr. Bowie, who had attended him for many years, not being in the city, the senior Dr. Keeney, was summoned. He prescribed for the sufferer’s relief, but unavailingly the attack proving fatal at the hour mentioned.
            Mr. Friedlander died in the very prime of life, being only 54 years of age. He was a native of Oldenburg, Germany. When a boy he emigrated to the United States and engaged in business in New York. From there he went to the South. He was living at Charleston with his family when the discovery of gold in this State occurred. He at once returned to New York and sailed for San Francisco on the South Carolina, arriving here in July, 1849. He was identified at a very early day with the agricultural interests of the State. He was one of the first men to see the possibilities of the State in this direction. His faith in the agricultural resources of the great valleys of Central California was unbounded, and he did probably more than any other man for the development of the farming lands of the San Joaquin Valley. His faith in this respect led to his financial embarrassment on more than one occasion, his last failure which occurred a little over a year ago, being attributable to the large credit he had given to the farmers of San Joaquin and Livermore Valleys, and their inability, owing to a complete failure of crops, to meet their obligations.
            Mr. Friedlander’s operations in grain were of a gigantic character. He at one time had what might be called a monopoly of the business. Most of the wheat-laden vessels bound to Europe carried his cargoes. These operations earned for him the name of the “California Grain King.” Since his failure in the spring of 1877, his operations have been made chiefly on account of English dealers. At present there are 20 ships here and on the way under charter to ship wheat for him on account of his principals. What condition his business is left in by his sudden and unexpected death, is unknown at the present writing.
            Mr. Friedlander’s prominent connection with the commercial interests of San Francisco obtained recognition on more than one occasion through his election as President of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. He occupied that position last year, being succeeded by the present incumbent, J.C. Patrick. Mr. Friedlander never held any public office, except that of Water Rate Commissioner, which position he held at the time of his death, representing in conjunction with Henry R. Williams, of the firm of Williams, Blanchard & Co., the city in the Board of Water Rate Commissioners.
            Mr. Friedlander was a man of commanding presence. His tall figure was a conspicuous object on Change and on the street, his head towering far above that of his fellows. He leaves a widow and several daughters to mourn his death, which owing to his suddenness, has almost paralyzed them. Not one of his family circle realized that the attack was more dangerous than others of a similar nature from which he had speedily recovered. The time of the funeral has been fixed for Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock, from his late residence.
            A special meeting of the members of the Produce Exchange was held this morning. Charles Clayton, the President of the Exchange, in calling the meeting, to order said:
            “A great loss has been sustained by the community, including the entire State, in the death of Isaac Friedlander, one of our most prominent citizens. He was a man of giant mind as well as giant stature, of wonderful business capacity and of the most generous and kindly impulses. In all the attributes that tend to ennoble humanity he was entitled to be considered a Prince among men. Arriving on the coast with the early pioneers, he had up to the time of his death occupied a leading place in the business, social and public affairs of our city. This Exchange sincerely mourns his loss.”
            On motion, the Chairman appointed a Committee, consisting of D. Ballard, G.W. McNear and W.A. Holcomb, to draft appropriate resolutions, which will be presented at 10:30 o’clock to-morrow, until which time the Exchange then adjourned.

THE LATE ISAAC FRIEDLANDER—Resolutions in Respect to His Death Adopted by the San Francisco Produce Exchange.

            After the Produce Exchange had been called to order by the President this morning, Mr. Ballard, Chairman of the Committee appointed yesterday to prepare resolutions in respect to the death of Mr. Friedlander, made the following remarks.
            Mr. President and fellow members of the Exchange:
            We are again called upon to mo urn the loss of one of our members, Isaac Friedlander having passed to that bourne from whence no traveler returns at about 5 o’clock on the morning of the 10^th instant, aged 54 years. It is hard to realize that the stalwart frame that walked in its majesty upon our streets only 48 hours ago, in apparent full power of health, and the hand that we were wont to clasp, now lies cold in death, but such is the case, Mr. Friedlander having been stricken down very suddenly by heart disease. Your Committee to whom was instrusted [sic] the duty of drafting resolutions appropriate to the occasion, feel that they are unequal to the task. That a mighty one of the earth has fallen all must acknowledge, for no one could stand before that presence, and look upon it but would say: “There is indomitable will, perseverance and enterprise in all its delineations.” It is not our purpose to speak in detail of Mr. Friedlander’s business career, as it is familiar to most all of us. Suffice it to say, that he was a man eminent for large conceptions, broad ideas, and liberal views, and hence his many business enterprises partook of these characteristics.
            Mr. Friedlander was a man of very many most excellent traits of character. We do not mean to say, Mr. President, that he was free from faults—and where is there one among us who is?—let him cast the first stone, and no one was more ready to acknowledge his faults than Mr. Friedlander. As a business man he was ever affable and courteous, always prompt, and his word was as good as his bond. He was possessed of a large heart, gave to charity with a munificent hand, and was ever ready to accommodate and help along the unfortunate, and undoubtedly many will drop tears of sorrow and say, “My best friend I had on earth is gone.”
            In view of this great and sad calamity that has fallen upon us, we would submit the following for your approval:
            WHEREAS, In the inscrutable decree of Almighty God it hath pleased Him to remove from our midst Isaac Friedlander; therefore
            Be it resolved, That we recognize in the death of Mr. Friedlander the loss of a good citizen, an eminent merchant, an honored member of our Exchange, and that we deeply deplore the same.
            Resolved, That we feel the loss of a kind, genial and warm-hearted man, and one whose sympathies were ever flowing out to his fellow man in acts of benevolence and charity.
            Resolved, That this State and city have lost one of their most honored and prominent merchants, whose loss will create a void difficult to be filled.
            Resolved, That this Exchange do attend his funeral on Sunday at 1 P.M. at his late residence, No. 526 Harrison street, thus to pay to mortal man the last sad rites of respect that can be performed upon earth, and that this hall be draped in mourning.
            Resolved, That we do most sincerely sympathize with the sorrowing ones of his household in this their sad bereavement.
            Resolved, That his family be furnished with a copy of these resolutions and that they be made a part of the records of this Exchange.
            The Exchange then adjourned until Monday morning at the usual hour.

DEATH OF B.W. FURLONG—A Well Known Mill Man Ends His Life With a Dose of Laudanum.

Albany News—News reached the city yesterday morning of the death of Mr. B.W. Furlong, at his home at Sniff, on the Brunswick and Western railroad, on Friday evening. He died from the effects of a dose of laudanum which he took, it is supposed, with suicidal intent.
            Coupled with other reports as to what caused him to end his own life, it is rumored that he killed a negro not many days ago and sunk his body in the Alapaha river. He had been on a protracted spree just before his death, and had involved himself in a good deal of trouble.
            Mr. Furlong was well known in this city and all along the line of the Brunswick and Western railroad, having been engaged in the saw mill business on this line of road for several years past. While he was a very clever and companionable gentleman and an industrious business man when sober, he appeared to place no value upon his own life when on one of his protracted sprees, and was generally regarded as a reckless and dangerous man.
