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.

of relatives and associates who had
so effectively shielded Mr llarriman
from all outside annoyance during
his last illness. The time was given
to the world as 3:3o P M.. but Mrs
j
Mary Simons, sister of the dead man, i
said to-niglit that the end had come
at 1:30, more thau two hours previous.
Whether this apparent
discrepancy lias any hearing oij the
current belief that every effort was
made to lessen the influence of-the
financier's death 011 the New Yorkstock
market is problematical. Butj
it is significant that the time of his!
death as officially announced was,
just thirty-five minutes after the j
trading had ceased 011 the Exchange. I
Mr llarriman died peacefully audj
almost to the end his brilliant mind j
retained its integrity. After a relapse
on'Sunday he sank steadily
and soon after the noon hour to-dav
there came a relapse which marked

the approach of the end. 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.
