ECKLEY B. COXE'S DEATH
PNEUMONIA CUT SHORT A BRIGHT
AND USEFUL CAREER.
Tho Millionaire Coal Operator and I'x-
State Senator Panned Quietly Away at
Hlh Home on Monday Morning— l- uuerul
Tlilh Afternoon at Drifton.
Hon. Eckley 11. Coxe died at his home
in Drifton 011 Monday morning at 10.25
o'clock, aged 55 years, 11 months and 9
days. Death was due to pneumonia.
He had been ill less than two weeks,
and until shortly before lie expired there
was 110 doubt but that 110 would even
tually recover. 011 Saturday it was
thought he was improving rapidly, and
such was tho information given out to
the public. Tiie sudden change of the
weather 011 Saturday niglft, when tho
temperature dropped in a few hours
from eighty to forty-three degrees in tills
section, brought with it a change in the
patient's condition, and from then on
Mr. Coxe's physician, Dr. 11. M. Neale,
of Upper Lehigh, know there was dan
ger. Dr. DaCosta, of Philadelphia, was
again summoned 011 Sunday night, but
did not arrive until after the end had
come.
His deatli was quiet and peaceful, and
ho was conscious to the last. Around
him wore gathered his faithful wife, his
private secrotary, E. A. Oborrunder, Dr.
Neale, Rev. J. P. Buxton and his broth
er, A. B. Coxe, and the hitter's wife.
The news bf Mr. Coxe's death spread
rapidly and readied this ofiico a few
minutes after it occurred, but tho Tbi
111*ne had gone to press nearly two hours
earlier than usual and we wero unable
to mention the sad fact in our issue of
that day.
11011. S. P. Wolvorton, of Sunbury,
who was summoned early Monday morn
ing, arrived half an hour after the death
of Mr. Coxo. Mr. Wolvorton was the
deceased's attorney, and had charge of
all his porsonal legal affairs, and also
considerable of the companies' business.
It was Mr. Wolvorton who drew up his
last will, but what is contained in it will
„ not be known for some time.
During the day hundreds of telegrams
of sympathy wero rocoivod from all parts
of the nation, for Mr. Coxo was a man
witli a national reputation for ability
and energy, and was on intimate terms
of acquaintance witli the leading men
of the United States. But it was to the
people of this immediate vicinity that
his death brought grief and sorrow, for
only those who lived hear him could
fully roalizo what a great loss they were
called upon to sustain in his unexpected
death.
In accordance with 0110 of his last
wishes the remains will be interred this
afternoon in the churchyard of St.
James' Protestant Episcopal church at
Drifton. 111 desiring to have his body
remain in the midst of the people witli
whom lie spoilt tho best part of his life,
Mr. Coxo again showed bis Thorough
J consistency, and, since deatli was inevit
able, lie could not do anything more
pleasing to his friends than to make the
request above stated.
The funeral will take placo at St.
James' church at 1.30 o'clock this after
noon. Tho church will be opened at 1
p. 111. and tho body will leave tho house
at 1.30 o'clock. It will not lie in state.
William E. Bellas, 11. E. Sweeny and
George Hufford will act as ushers at tlio
church.
Tho people of town who wish to at
tend the funeral will meet at tho opera
house at 12.30 o'clock and proceed in a
* body to Drifton.
' The Mining and Mechanical Institute
students will leave the school at 1.15
o'clock and proceed to St. James'church.
Nearly all tho collieries in the Lehigh
region wero closed since Monday out of
respect to the dead operator, all the sta
tions and locomotives of the D. S. & S.
are draped in mourning and fiags are
floating at half-mast in every part of
town today.
11l the death of Eckley B. Coxe it can
truthfully bo said that Freeland lias
lost its best and staunchest friend. He
was by far the greatest and most san
guino believer In Frecland's futuro that
resided ill this community. On two
public occasions while addressing audi
ences hero ho oxpressed Ills feelings and
intentions In a manner that did more to
Instill confldouce in tho people than any
number of acts or words which others
could offer.
The people boliovod In him implicitly.
f So much of his life had been spout in
their midst that thoy had learned to
know that he always meant precisely
what ho said. They did not doubt his
words when he told them at the recent
banquets tendered him by the borough
council and the Citizens' liose Company
that the town was yet in the first stage
of its growth, that the plans under way
by the Coxo corporations would increase
its population many times, that no prop
* erty owner should fear real estate would
depreciate, that all the influences ho
conld bring to bear would be directed
for the best Interests of Freeland and
that the borough was looked upon by
him as his ward and he would always be
found personally interested in its
trials and troubles as well as its growth
and prosperity. Notwithstanding that
somo of tiio conditions about us made
matters appear in a different light, yet
the faith of Freeland's citizens in Mr.
Coxe was such as to compel them to ac
cept his utterances as the truth, be
cause they never knew him to make a
promise that was not fulfilled or a pre
diction that failed to inateralizo.
Ills voluntary offer to extend to Free
land all the assistance that could be
given it in the way of bringing workers
here and providing employment for
thousands more than are yet 011 his
companies* roils, and his statement that
no more buildings would be erected by
tho coal company in this vicinity as he
wanted Freeland people to do the build
ing and Freeland merchants to have the
trade of the great population that was
to come, these remarks were received
with joy by those interested in tho towij,
and that they would come true was
never doubted. Coxe's word was a suf
ficient guarantee.
It would be almost impossible to enu
merate* bis many acts of benevolence
and charity, in ail of which he had the
active help of his wife. In providing an
hospital at Drifton for tho unfortunates
who met with accidents In his collieries,
and opening its doors to the maimed and
injured of other works than his own, he
gave one of tho first proofs of his charit
able and generous disposition. Tho es
tablishment of a state hospital at Ilazle
ton made tho one at Drifton unneces
sary, but ills employes are still allowed
95 a week when sick or hurt, and tho
poor and indigent of tho entire North
Side can testify to the help they receive
from tho Coxe family.
The inmates of the state hospital and
the Laurytown almshouse have felt the
benefits of Ids money in many ways the
public is not aware of, and other charit
able institutions were unostentatiously
remembered by him at times when they
required aid.
In Freeland, especially, lie made him
self beloved by all classes. The found
ing of the Mining and Mechanical
School, in which he was very much in
terested, opened up the opportunities
for tho young men of town to acquire an
education in scientific branches at a
cost that barely paid tho expenses for j
light.
To the people at large he donated the
Public park, ten acres of land which
in time will bo one of the finest pleasure
grounds to bo. found in the country.
The sewer outlet was another grant the
value of which cauuot be, given dol-
JION. ECKLKY B. COXE.
lars and cents. Tho iiro department of
the borough came in for a share of Mr.
Coxe's earnest solicitation, and ever
slnco its first call to active service he as
sisted the hose company financially at
numerous intervals. To the younger
element he leased the land for the base
ball park, and was very anxious that
they should avail themselves of the
chance to indulge in atlilotic games of a
healthful nature.
To religious and church bodies of all
denominations he was liberal beyond
limits that could be expected, and to his
generosity in this respect Is due the fact
that Freeland can boast of so many
handsome churches today. Two of the,
three cemeteries hero are located upon
land donated by him, and eight of the
fourteen churches received their lots
free from Mr. Coxe. The others are
built upon lfl-nd which was not owned
by the Coxe estato, or they, too, would
undoubtedly bo treated tlio same, for in
his dealings with his fellow-men he
treated all alike, regardless of their ro
ligious belief, their nationality or their
political convictions, and for that rea
son all classes realize they have lost a
good friend, a broad-minded citizen and
a respected neighbor.
Ilorouglt Council Takes Action.
The members of the borough council
met at 4 o'clock 011 Tuesday afternoon
and took suitable action 011 the death of
Hon. E. B. Coxe. 111 the absenco of
llurgess McLaughlin, council requests
that all places of business in the bor
ough bo closed from 12 noon until 6 p.
m. today, and that fiags be placed at
half-mast. They resolved to attend tho
funeral in a body, and appointed a com
mittee consisting of Dr. E. W. Rutter,
Tlios. J. Moore and Hugh M. Breslin to
procure a suitable iloral emblem. The
committee selected a beautiful piece of
work of natural flowers, "Gates Ajar,"
which is surmounted by a dove, and had
it sent to the late home of Mr. Coxo.

ing to take action upon Mr. Coxe's
death. Postmaster William F. Boyle
was selected chairman and Chas. Orion
Stroh secretary. A eonnnitteo was ap
pointed to prepare resolutions of condo
lence, and after a brief deliberation
they made a report, which was unani
mously adopted by tho audience. The
resolutions appear 011 the fourth page.
Chas. Orion Stroh, J. M. Carr, Thos.
A. Buckley, Hugh Malloy, James Boli
1i 11 and others made short addresses
upon the life of tho deceased, in which
they recalled to mind the, many favors
lie had done for tlio town and the deep
interest he took in its welfaro since its
incorporation.
As all the arrangements for the funer
al were not yet completed, it was decid
ed to appoint a committee to ascertain
at what time would bo most suitable for
tlio people to meet and go to Drifton to
view the body and attend the funeral.
Committees from each of the polling dis
tricts of town and a eonnnitteo from
South Hebcrton wero appointed to in
form the people of the arrangements as
soon as possible.
The attendance at the meeting was
largo and a feeling of sincere sorrow
permeated tho assemblage.
Sketch of Eckley 11. Coxc'm Life.
Eckley Brinton Coxe was born In
Philadelphia 011 June 4, 1839. He was
one of five sons of tho late Judge Charles
S. Coxe, and was a grandson of Tench
Coxe, the famous statesman, financier
and author, who was commissioner of
the revenue under Washington's admin
istration. The family homestead was
for many years at 1512 Spruce street,
Philadelphia. After passing through
tho preparatory school Mr. Coxe entered
the university of Pennsylvania, whore
he graduated witli honors in 1858.
Having a decided preference for scienti
fic and mathematical studies ho then
went to Europe, where lie studied in the
School of Mines at Paris and the Mining
School of Frieburg, Saxony. He subse
quently occupied two years in visiting
and studying the mines of Great Britain
and Continental Europe, and upon his
return to tho United States began, with
his brothers, tlio business of mining
anthracite coal in the Lehigh region,
upon proporty belonging to his family
and jnherited from his grandfather,
Tench Coxo.
In 1805 tho coal mining company of
Coxe Bros, was formed with Eckley B. |
at the head. Out of this company has
grown the Cross Creek Coal Company,
Coxe Bros. & Co., tho Coxe Iron Manu
facturing Company, the Delaware, Sus
quehanna and Schuylkill Railroad Com
pany and wator companies for each of
the larger towns whore tlio Coxo in- j
terests predominate. Last fall Mr. Coxe
resigned the presidency of the above 1
concerns and also the position of trustee J
of the Lehigh university.
From 1872 until 1888 Mr. Coxe was
compelled to battle for the possession of
part of liis coal lands in this county. I
The fight, which became famous, was |
known as tlio Dorringor-Coxo case. It
was ended in tlio common pleas court in !
Wilkes-Barro 011 October 15, 1888. An
amicable settlement was arrived at, and
the jury rendered a verdict for Colonel
Calhoun M. Derringer, the plaintiff, for
one-half of his original claim. Tho land
involved covers 2,000 acres in Black
Croek and Sugar Loaf townships. It
contained valuable deposits of anthracite,
coal, whole is valued at about
910,000,000. The laud was purchased
by Ilonry Derringer, of Philadelphia,
and lie paid taxes upon it from 1826 until
1800, when lie died. 111 1828 tho land
was sold to tho county commissioners,
as a defaulting county treasurer's ac
counts had not been turned in. The
lands wore surrendered to Derringer
when the error was discovered and the
taxes were marked paid. Derringer's
heirs paid taxes from 1868 to 1872, when
they leased the land, which was five
tracts, to some Philadelphia firm. At
tlio same time the Coxe heirs took posses
sion and erected valuable mining plants
thereon. A civil suit of ejoctmont was
then instituted. The litigation ended
by dividing the one-ninth portion equally j
botwoon tho plaintiff and defendants.
Mr. Coxo lias had frequent litigation
with tho railroads that transported tho
product of his mines to tlio markots.
His contests with the Lehigh Valley
were conducted with such skill that in
1891 that company was compelled to
carry his anthracite at tho rates paid on
bituminous. In 1891 110 changed his!
whole product of more than a million
tons a year to tho Reading system, but
when President Harris took hold this
contract was annulled and Mr. Coxe
returned to tho Lehigh Valley. During
the litigation he saw Hie groat advantage
to be derived in having an independent
road which would be connected witli
each of the leading lines to tidewater.
This induced him to build tho Delaware,
Susquehanna and Schuylkill Railroad, a
sixty-mile road, which is equipped witli
its own locomotives, coal cars, passenger
cars and all necessary rolling stock, and
is connected witli the Lehigh Valley,
Reading, Jersey Central and Pennsyl
vania. An agroomont witli the Valley
gives liis trains and crews the right to
use the latter's tracks direct to Perth
(Continued on Page 4.)
Firemen's New Uniforms.
Tlio Citizens' lloso Company held an
interesting meeting last evening. The
members adopted a now uniform, which
will be worn for the first time in tiie
parade 011 Memorial Day. It consists of
a blue cap, red shirt and white pants.
A committee, consisting of William Wil
liamson, John M. Powell, Timothy Boyle
and T. A. Buckley, was appointed to pre
pare resolutions on the death of Eckley
B. Coxe, who was a friend of the company
and took much interest in it.
There was also some discussion on the
Public park question, and it was shown
that since tho park was placed under
the control of tlio hose company they
have received something like 9300 for its
use, and have expended over 9260 in ro
pairs 011 platform, grounds, etc. The
profit to the company in throe years has
been only 938.
It was stated the council would not
agree to the removal of the platform un
less it could be done without destroying
any trees, and as this is impossible it
will remain as it is. The platform will
lie repaired and covered, but no further
work will bo done unless the company is
given a guarantee that control of tho
grounds will bo left in its hands for a
while longer.
Micliuel Monro I>ea<l.
Michael Moore, who was a resident of
town until about eight months ago, died
of pneumonia at his residence on Broad
stroot, Hazleton, at 4 o'clock this morn
ing. He was ill for three weeks and

cold spell came on Sunday, when a
change occcurred. He was employed
as a conductor by the Lohigh Traction
Company, and was known as a young
man of excellent character. His deatli
will bo regretted sincerely by his friends
on the North Side. Mr. Moore was 31
years of age, and loaves a wife, also one
son, about ono year old. He was a

Ilondrlcks Is Guilty.
From Today's Hazleton Standard.
The jury in the case of James Hend
ricks, who lias boon on trial for tho past
two weeks, for tlio murder of Barney
Hoick, of VVilkcsbarre, returned a verdict
of guilty in tho second degree at 9.15
o'clock last ovening. The Newitaltr
says that the vordict caused no little
surprise in view of the fact that Judge
Woodward Instructed that a vordict of
murder in the first dogreo should be
returned, or it must bo ono of acquittal.
The jury during the day stood 9 to 3 for
acquittal, and tlio verdict was ovidontly
ono of compromise.

up yestorday in the house at Harrisburg.
The attendance was very small, many of
the friends of tlio measure being absent
at the hour set for tlio dual vote. Rep
