JOHN I. BLAIR DEAD.
Story of tho Wonderful Career of One
of tho Most Marvelous Men
of His Time.
John I. lllalr died at Dlalrstown, N.
J., Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. So
often has a sketch of this remarkable
man been printed during late years
thut every newspaper reader Is more
or less familiar with his marvelous ca
reer. He lived nearly ninety-eight years;
ho began life a poor boy and died worth
JCO.000,000; during his life time he
owned at one time or another 2,500,000
acres of land, he founded eighty towns,
built or help to build about twenty rail
roads nnd contributed the bulk of the
money that went to the erection of
eighty different churches, besides en
dowing a college, making liberal con
tributions to other Institutions of learn
nng nnd giving to his church, the Pres
byterlnn, as a whole, not less than
$000,000.
Deceased was n brother of tho late
James Hlalr. of this city.
John Inslee niair acquired his wealth
by his own efforts and aided many
others to build fortunes on the same
foundation. The founder of the family
In this country was John Rlalr, who
settled in New Jersey in 1720. This
John Blair was a cousin of the great
grandfather of John Inslee Blilr.
John Inslee Blair was born Aug. 22,
1S02. In tho winter months he went
to nearby country schools and In tho
summer time lie worked on the farm.
He began to accumulate money when
a boy. He was fond of telling in nfr r
years how he earned his first money
catching muckrats in Beaver Crsek
and selling their skins. At the ngo u!
ten he went to work as a clerk la o
country store kept by a cousin. At
fourteen he was considered an excel
lent storekeeper and at seventeen ho
started In business for himself at
Blalrstown, his cousin furnishing half
his capital. The whole capital of his
business was $300 at tho start.
He married a daughter of Captain
John Lock, a soldier in the Revolu
tionary war, who was killed in the
War of 1812. Mrs. Blair lived until
18S8, when she died at the age of eighty-four.
In 1840 Mr. Blair Joined George W.
and Joseph Scranton in developing
their iron business at what was then
Slocum, Pa. Among the other men
who later became associated with him
In business were Moses Taylor, Will
iam E. Dodge, Gardner Colby, Israel
D. Condlt, Christopher Robert, Mar
shall O. Roberts, Robert C. Wlnthrop.
Samuel Sloan, S. B. Chittenden, Oliver
P. Morton, C. N. Bliss, C. H. McCor
mlck, Charles Scrlbner, Oakes Ames,
Oliver Ames, John B. Alley, Joseph
NIckcrson, F. T. Glidden, S. L. Thorn
dyke and J. M. S. Williams.
Mr. Blair took up the building of
raiiroaus to rurnlBh a means of get
ting Scranton's products to the chief
markets of tbe country. He nnd his
associates first bought a railroad
which ran from Oswego to Ithaca,
which in 1849 they extended nnd re
built. In 1831 they built the Leggets
Gap road, from Scranton to Great
Bend, and In 1852 tho Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad was or
ganized. Mr. Blair always retained his
interest In that road, and was one of
Its largest stockholders.
He was In politics originally a metn
ber of the old Whig party, but becalms
n Republican when that party was
born, and was a delegate from New
Jersey to many Republican national
conventions. Only once was he a can
didate for elective office. In 1868 ht
ran for governor against Theodote
Randolph, spending $90,000 In his cam
paign. In spite of his personal popu
larity he was beaten.
His gifts to churches and institutions
of learning were large. lie gave more
than $150,000 to Princeton university,
and $00,000 to Lafayette college. Tha
Blair Presbyterian academy at Blalrs
town cost at least $100,000 and w.is
given by Mr. Blair to the Presbyteiv
of Newton. His fortune is estimated
at from $40,000,000 to $00,000,000. A
daughter of Mr. Blair's was the wife
of the late Charles Scrlbner, whose
two sons. Charles Scrlbner and Ar
thur H. Scrlbner, constitute the firm
of Charles Scrlbner's Sons, the pub
lishers, The funeral will take place Tues
day at Blalrstown.
REMAINS WERE IDENTIFIED.

FUNERAL OF THE
CRAIG FAMILY
IMPRESSIVE SCENE AT NEW
HAVEN SATURDAY.
Grand Avenue Congregational Church
Whero tho Services Over tho Re
mains Were Conducted, Was
Crowded to tho Doors Interment
Was Mndo in tha Fair Haven
Cemetery, Whero the Four Bodies
Were Laid Sido by Side Gloom
Cast Over the City of New Haven.
The Now Haven, Conn., Union yes
terday contained tho following with
reference to tho funeral of the Craig
family, which was held nt that place
Saturday nfternoon:
One of the saddest funerals which
ever was held In this city, was that of
vesterday afternoon, when the last
rltea of earth were paid to the Cralj
family, nt the Grand Avenue Congre
gational church. It Is doubtful If over
before were four members of one fam
ily burled In a single grave In this city.
The services were for the late Mr.
and Mrs. Alexander Craig and their
daughters, Esther Sanford and Jessie
Hoger Craig, who were killed In the
railroad accident at Paterson, N. J
Wednesday evening. They had resided
in Scranton, Pa., several months, re
moving there from this city, which had
previously been their home. At the
time of tho accident they were on their
way to Brooklyn, N. Y., to spend
Thanksclvlng with friends.
At about 2.1G o'clock tho remain of
the deceased were removed from the
undertaking rooms of Lewis & May
cock to the Grand Avenue Congrega
tional church, In four hearses, drawn
up abreast, two and two. The hearses
were preceded by carriages containing
the bearers.
HUNDREDS AT THE CHURCH.
In front of the church, as the pro
cession arrived, were hundreds of peo
ple. Thn caskets were borne up the
main aisle and placed directly In front
of the pulpit platform and nt right
angles thereto. The caskets of Mr. and
Mrs. Craig were llrst brought in and
later the bearers, selected from the
former associates of the little girls,
carried the caskets of the latter to the
platform. The casket of the oldest
daughter was placed between the cask
ets of her parents and the casket of
the younger daughter was placed on
the right of the mother's.
As the removal took place, there was
hardly a dry eye In the church, and
some of tho Intimate friends of the de
parted were weeping bitterly. There
were fully 1,300 people In the church,
while several hundred more wnlted on
the grounds and In the cemetery at the
rear of the church grounds. As the
caskets were tenderlv borne up the
aisle, a solemn dirge was played on the
organ by Harry Jepson.
Upon tho pulpit platform, Just back
of the caskets, were arranged palm"?
and chrysanthemums, and many palms
stood at either side of the olatform.
Each of the four caskets was com
pletely covered with roses, pinks and
other flowers.
The service were begun by the read
ing of Scripture, beginning with the
verse, "Let not your heart be troubled,
ye believe in God, believe also In me,"
by Rev. D. J. Clark of the East Haven
Congregational church. Mr. Clark read
n chapter from Revelations, concluding
with the verse, "And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes."
Rev. J. Lee Mitchell, D. D., the pas
tor of the church, then made appropri
ate remarks, which were as follows:
REV. MR. MITCHELL'S REMARKS.
"He who Imagines that he stands
now In the presenceot death and means
by death finality, the end of living,
mistakes vastly the situation. We
stand In the presence of the 'resurrec
tion and tho life. But that Is almost
too much for us to lay hold of. We
are dim, primaeval, mere barbarians of
the time to be; we have somewhere
lost the Interpretation of these dream
lives we lead here, and our minds can
not cross from one shore to the other
without some rock to cling to in mid
stream. "My fellow-men, we must believe In
Jesus Christ, the rock In mid-stream,
and not try to believe so many other
things.
" 'The very God' Think Ablb dost
thou think?' So through the thunder
comes a human voice saying, 'O, heart
I made, a heait beats here! Face my
hands fashioned, Bee It In myself! Thou
hast no power, nor mayest conceive of
mine. But love I gave thee, with my
self to love, and thou must love Me
who have . I for thee.' Believe In
God first. It . "as the order of convic
tion for Jesus himself. He could not
doubt the life beyond death, because
He walked with God, throbbed with
God, this life had to Him no meaning
but to do the will of God. If God Is,
all else Is easy; a man inhabited by
God looks on th lifting us of one of
our lives Into ' eternal unastonlshed,
'Us natural ft God, ns natural us any
strong deed to any strong man.
"But how may a man believe in
God? Why, trust In God Is planted In
you, It grows wild In every human
heart and needs only the nurture of n
pure life nnd a lofty purpose to bo
come self-conscious, a conviction. Men
doubt God ns they doubt the value of
anything else for which they have paid
little. If It costs little It Is worth little.
We denv ourselves nothing for God's
sake, and so He Is nothing. He doesn't
cost us enough to become a very potent
conviction. Jesus walked with God.
God was all things to Him and that
His lfe taught Him to expect tho
resurrection. Our lives must similarly
teach us to expect the resurrection and
he who has nothing fit to rise of his
own must accent of the lltne.su of our
fair Christ, and ho who has nothing fit
of his owu to rise, not even a faith In
Christ's fitness, must forever doubt
thut he will rise.
BELIEF IN GOD.
"Believe In God, in Jesus Christ, thi
rock In mid-stream, and bo not troubled

about faith or lack of faith in other
things. It Is not Impossible soul feats
that God wants of us before IIo can
work, but Just trust In himself. It was
so with Martha, the alster of that
Lazarus, She verv likely had somo
wild notion that sho might yet got
Lazarus back. As Jesus moved straight
to tho tomb It may havotanted Into
somethlnjr like faith In aTesurrectlon,
but vvhen tho lmnerial voice com
manded to roll away tho stone sho
lost It If she ever had It. Don't dn It,
Lord! Don't take any chances, failure
would be awful. Don't try It. No faith
there rxcept faith that God Is God and
this gtent wild-hearted woman sud
denly wants to take the Christ thnt
made the world up In her arms and
shield Him from failure. Just cling to
Him In fear while that loud voice rang
down the startled aisles of paradise
calling back the soul of Lazarus,
"Don't Interfere with Christ, believe
In Him and let Him raise ynur deud.
"This has been nn accident to us wo
were not prepared for. God wns. Did
you never go Into quiet rooms through
which, nevertheless, a stir of expecta
tion runs, 'a timid hope In gentle eyes,'
busy fingers plying swift needles, little
garments laid away In spotless sweet
ness, a couch that never yet has swung
to crooning cradle song, messengers
hourly bringing little mystic tokens?
It was so this week In heaven. Thoy
were all rendy there for the coming of
these now-born souls, with glad fore
welcome." Dr. Mltchctl was followed by Rev.
Dr. E. S. Lines, rector of St. Paul's
church, who pronounced the usual
prayers of the Episcopal church, con
cluding the services In the church. The
caskets wero then borne from the
church through the side entrnnce to the
vestibule, where the four hearses wero
drawn up to receive them. As the
hearses wended their way to the Fair
Haven cemetery nearby, they were fol
lowed by carriages containing tho
mourners nnd by hundreds of people
on foot. It Is probable there were fully
2,000 people In the cemetery.
AT THE GRAVE.
As the caskets wero borne from the
heat-sea to the grave, Rev. Dr. Lines
repeated passages of Scripture used at
the committal service. The remains
were then lowered Into the largo grave,
together, by patent lowering appar
atus. The grave was lined with ever
green and cut tlowers. Dr. Lines pro
nounced the words, "Dust to dust,
ashes to ashes," and sprigs of ever
green and sprays of flowers were
thrown upon the caskets. Prayers were
said by Rev. Drs. Lines and Ultchell,
and the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. D. J. Clark. Many friends lingered
bv the open grave as the earth was
thrown In. Few of those present will
ever attend a snddcr burial.
The bearers were Frank Sperry. of
the firm of Sperry & Barnes; Prof.
Sydney I. Smith, of Sheffield Scientific
school; Edward Thompson, of East
Haven; George Payne, Clarence Dem
lng and Charles A, Tuttle.
The bearers for the children wore
Herbert Nelson, Frederick Smith, Wil
bur Smith, Frank 'Page.
The floral offerings were the most
beautiful and numerous ever seen, in
New Haven. Among them was an
Immense bank of cyprus leaves and
chrysanthemums from the directors of
the Scranton Tribune; large bouquet
of rosos from Editor Llvy S, Richard,
of the Tribune, and wife; cluster of
roses on galax leaves from tho em
ployes of the Tribune, cluster of roses
from Master Saron B. Warman, of
Scranton; casket bouquet from the
members of the sophomore class of the
High School, of which Miss Esther
Craig was a member. With the bou
quet was a card bearing this Inscrip
tion: "They were lovely and pleasant
In life and In death were not divided."
FROM THIS CITY.
The following from this city attend
ed the funeral services: Mr. and Mrs.
L. S. Richard, Mrs. E. T. Sweet. How
ard Davis, J. F. Mitchell, John Crane
and S. B. Stlllwell.
New Haven wns Inexpressibly
shocked by the trnglc death of the
Craig family. All of the members of It
were known and beloved by hundreds
of tho residents of that city, and each
seemed to feel a sense of personal loss
In the removal of their friends. Tho
scenes In the church and at tho grave
when the four bodies v ere lowered side
by side Into their last resting place
were indescribably pathetic and will
not soon be forgotten by those who at
tended the services.
TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Stephen Mabey, of Green Ridge, At
tempts Murder and Then Gives
Himself Up.
Stephen Mabey, v. ho lives at tho cor
ner of Green Ridge street and Dick
son avenue, Saturday afternoon at
tempted to shoot his wife. It seems
that the couple were making prepara
tions to move to the South Side, and
In the midst of them Mabey suddenly
drew a revolver and shot his wife. She
sprang through a window out onto an
adjoining roof and there yelled, "Mur
der." Mabey nonchalantly went down
stairs, summoned Dr. Neild to attend
to his wife, and then walked to tho
Cential police station and gave himself
up.
The woman was not seriously In
jured, the bullet of tha 22-coIlbre re
volver simply passing through the
fleshy part of her left leg, Just above
the knee.
Mabey and his wife were married
fifteen years ago In Wllkes-Barre, and
came here seven years ago. Mabey
first kept a hotel at the corner of Main
avenue and Lafayette street, and aft
erwards served as bartender In differ
ent hotels, the last position of the sort
being at tho Conway hotel, opposite
the Erie and Wyoming station. La3t
week he assisted his brother, George
Mabey, proprietor of tho Bristol house,
Providence.
The couple were far from a happy
one, Mabey being Jealous of his wife,
It Is alleged, and having frequently
beaten her. Mrs. Mabey stated that
he had illtreated her, and that not Ions
ugo they separated, but rejoined. They
have four children, a boy of 14 belnt:
the oldest. After the bhooting George
Mabey came to the house and removed
tho Injured woman to tho home of her
mother. It is believed by Mabey's re
latives that ho Is insane, and they will
try to place him In an asylum.
The general opinion at police head
quarters Is that Mabey Is a little out
of his mind. All Saturday night he
prayed loud nnd long In a manner far
from sane, nnd his genernl actions de
note at least that he Is slightly de
mented. THREE IMPORTANT CASES.

TWENTY-SIXTH
ANNIVERSARY
SPECIAL SERVICES YESTERDAY
AT GRACE CHURCH.
Observance of tho Establishment of
tho Reformed Episcopal Church In
1873 Sermon of Rov, George L.
Alrich, the Pastor, on tho Causes
Lending Up to tho Foundation of
tho Tenets of tho Denomination.
Short Sketch of Local Church I'b
tnbliahed in 1881.
Tho twenty-sixth anniversary of tho
establishment of the Reformed Epis
copal church was commemorated yes
terday morning In tho Grace Reformed
church, on Wyoming nvenue, with a
special sermon by tho pustor, Rov.
George L. Alrich.
He took ns his text Nchemiah 4-6:
"So built we the wall; and all tho
wall was Joined together unto the half
thereof, for the people had a mind to
work." The sermon was In tho nature
of an Interesting and complete ac
count of the denomination and the
causes leading up to It.
Mr. Alrich stated In opening his
remarks that tho church was organ
ized under special and peculiar cir
cumstances, being an outgrowth of
the Evangelical Alliance of 1873. The
alliance of that year was held In New
YorK city and among those who at
tended It was Bishop Georgo David
son Cummins, assistant bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal church of Ken
tucky. ESTABLISHMENT OF CHURCH.
One morning during the sessions of
the alliance a union communion ser
vice was held at Rev. John Hall's
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. At
this service Bishop Cummins and a
number of other visiting clergymen
assisted. The bishop was severely
criticized and scored by his fellow
workeis in the Episcopal faith for this
violation of the canons of thnt church,
which forbid the assistance by Its cler
gymen nt nny service of any other de
nomination. Bishop Cummins had always held
other views at variance with some of
the doctrines of the established Epis
copalian church, nnd he accordingly,
In company with several other minis
ters, established tho Reformed Episco
pal church on Dec. 2, 1S73, In tho Y.
M. C. A. rooms, at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Twenty-third
street.
A set of certain principles wore
drawn up and the new church rapidly
grew In numbers throughout the coun
try, Its membership coming principally
from the regularly established Epls
coual church.
The Grace Reformed church was es
tablished In this city in 1881, Rev. G.
A. Redles being the first pastor. One
year later the congregation erected
and moved Into the present church
building on Wyoming avenue. Among
the charter members were the follow
ing: Misses Rebecca and Mary Drink
er, George W. Fritz and wife, Richard
M. Hackett, William T. Hackett, J.
E. Chandler and wife, R. H. Frear
and wife, C. P. Matthews and wife
and Thomas E. Lyddon.
PASTORS OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. Mr. Redles served as pastor for
five years and was followed by Rev.
D. M. steams, who acted for seven
years. The next pastor was Rev. A.
K. Bates, who was followed a year
later by the present incumbent, Rev.
George L. Alrich, who came here from
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The church Is at present In a very
flourishing condition; In fact, more so
than It has been for years. It has al
ways been a missionary church, the
members of the congregation always
taking special Interest In this mission
ary work.
SERMONS OF REV. JAS. HUGHES.
They Were Preached in the Adams
Avenue Chapel.
The Rev. James Hughes preached
yesterday morning in the Adams ave
nue chapel on the words, "If thy pres
ence go not with me carry us not up
hence " He said ftliose words ex
pressed his own fellngs as he entered
on the new engagement into which ho
hod entered with the people there.
Then he proceeded to say;
Firstly. If God will not beuwith us
some one else will. The evil one Is
ever on the alert and ever ready to en
ter for the purpose of scattering and
devouring tho flock of God, ,
Secondly, God will go with us If we
Invite Him In a becoming manner. If
with conttltlon, self abasement and
prayer we seek tho Divine presence
God will go with us into the work of
the future.
Thirdly. Should God go with us we
Bhall have no reason to complain of
the new relationship Into which we
have now entered. There will bo given
us the peace of love In action, peace on
tha wing. There will bo the spirit of
mutual forbearance and friendship.
And we shall witness thf growth of the
congregation and the conversion of
souls.
