Arden, X V., September ! :?Edward H Harriman, the greatest organizer of railroads the ^.orld Ins ever known, met the only lasting defeat of his active life to-day at ^ the hands of death. Secluded in his magnifieeut home on Tower llill, surrounded by physicians and nurses, he succumbed to an intestinal disorder this afternoon after a fight ^ against disease,which will rank for sheer grit with his remarkable struggles in the financial world. hma rtf llic llpalll )R X UU CAUb V Wl'UV v? uiw .? known o'>ly in that limited circle of relatives and associates who had so effectively shielded Mr llarriman from all outside annoyance during his last illness.

His wife, two daughters, the Misses Mary and Carol, and his sons, who have beer constantly with him, assembled at the bedside and a carriage was hastily dispatched for Mrs Simons, whoso home is here in Arden, three miles from the Tower Hill mansion, Driving hurriedly up to the mountain side, Mrs Simons entered the great silent house m time to be present ut her brother's death. She joined the wife and children, who, with Dr W (i Lyle, oi Xew York, ami Orlando Harriman, a brother, and the nurses formed t group at the bedside. No spiritual adviser was at hand. The swiftest automobile in th< Harriman garage had been dis patched for the Itev Dr J Holmei McGuiness, an Episcopal rector ol Arden Parish, and Mr Harriman's personal chaplain, but Dr McGuiness was not at home. Wher found later, although- rushed uj the mountain side at breakneck speed, he did not arrive until death had come to Arden's house. Municipal Primary Election.
