PRICE TWO CENTS. of tha board of directors of both the Atchison and Mexican Central railroads, and he has retained a seat in both boards through successive terms, and was holding office in both boards at the time of his death. He added largely to his fortune, which is estimated to be about $10,000,000.

He invested to some extent in milling corporations at Lawrence, and at the time of his death was president of a cotton manufacturing company In that city. The deceased miliionnaire lived in Jamaica Plain up to 1878. In that year a lawyer named Edward Rand failed. He had a large country estate near Connecticut Corner, Dedham, which was offered for sale, and this Albert W. Nickerson purchased.

took ud his residence on Vie estate and became a citizen of Dedliam, soon running for the office of selectman. Four years after he came here he wanted to erect a costly house on the highest point of land on Common but his architects advised him that in order to get the best location there would have to be a change in the line of the street. He petitioned that the road be changed, apd a heated controversy ensued, in which the people in the town tooK sides, although the majority were largely with Mr. Nickerson. Hearings were had before the county commissioners, and that body finally refused to make the change he asked.

About this time the board of assessors increased his taxes very largely without consulting him. These two occurrences greatly displeased him. selling his house here to bis brother George, he Removed to Marlon. He wanted it understood that he had repudiated tbe town, but he had so strong an attachment for Dedham that about three years ago he purchased a large tract of land bordering on the Charles river. COO acres in all.

It was what was known as the old Thomas Motley estate and the birthplace of the historian. On this land he erected a residence that cost $300,000, and $200,000 was expended in furnishing it. This is where Albert W. Nickerson has spent tbe past twoyears, with tbe exception of a few mouths spent at Marion. He had continued to be a citizen of Marion up to the first of this month, when he told the Dedham assessors that he was then a legal resident of the town.

Albert V. Nickerson was always popular with the laboring people of Dedham. He did a good deal quietly and unostentatiously for them. He was a home-loving man, never a frequenter of clnbs. and lived simply and temperately.

He had been twice married, and tbe wife who survives him was a Miss Lindsay of Roxbury. He leaves five children, a brother and a married sister. He was a regular attendant at St Pauls Episcopal church, where he was a vestryman. To encourage the Catholics to build new church, some few years ago. be donated $10,000, and also made a gift of $6000 to tbe public librarv of tbe town.

In politics he never took any active part, although In Dusiness was associated with tbe late Levi C. Wade, once speaker of Massachusetts House of Representatives. His intimacy with Grover Cleveland brought about the Presidents purchase of Gray Gables. During tbe last year of his previous term as President. Mr.

Cleveland visited Mr, Nickerson at Marion, and there Mrs. Cleveland got her first idea of Massachusetts. Almost every year since that time Mr. Cleveland and bis wife have been guests for a few day at least, of Mr. Nickerson at Marion.

The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. fore night live times that amount would be gone. Intense excitement prevailed all along the river. At the Standard Oil Companys dock a canal boat and scow were torn from the dock in the presence of a large crowd and swept down the river before anything could be done to prevent it. The current was running at a speed of 10 miles an hour at the time.

When the canal boat was about 100 yards from where it started loud cries were heard by the persons on the docks, and a moment later three women appeared on deck. A man and two boys were seen soon afterwards. The women and children were greatly terrified, and Cried Loudly for Help. The man had more presenco of mind, however, and. after some persuasion, man aged to get the women below.

The boat kept right along down the stream, followed closely by the scow until it reached the upper central wav bridgeA Here the canal boat collided with a floating lumber pile, and stuck fast. This also stopped the ow. A small boat was soon procured and the little party were rescuea. At the Erie coal chute the cars were almost covered with water, and the entire docks were submerged. The water at this poipt was over live feet deep.

The coal hoists and other apparatus used in loading boats were all surrounded by water, so that they could not be reached ex-cept by small boats, and then only at great risk. The City of Detroit could not get put of the harbor Wednesday morning and tied un at tbe dock near the custom house. Tha City of Cleveland, which was the only boat to enter the river up to noon, Wednesday, had a rough passage from Detroit. No vessels of any kind were leaving port, the owners being afraid to run the risk of having their rudders damaged by the snags which were being driven down by th current. Tbe reports of disaster kept arriving at the City Hall, and at noon, when It became known that tbe River mu Full of Oil, th fir department was notified to tak extra precautions.

Chief Dickinson ordered tbe Standard Oil Company to at once put out al fires in furnaces near the river, and. as fast as they could be reached by telephone, the owners of shops along the stream were told that fires must be extinguished. The employes of the powder and paper mills uo the river had to be rescued in boats. awiDg to the rapid rise of the river. The infirmary farming lands situated In the valley are also under water, and th damage to tbe crops wiil be heavy.

Tbe situation at tbe foot af Seneca it. was alarming at noon Wednesday, and was visited by throngs of sightseers Much of the lumber on the docks east of tbe bridges was being hauled awav, although the horses were compelled to draw the wagons in water knee deep. In other places tbe lumber piles were anchored with ropes. Railroad traffic was completely suspended Wednesday from the effects of the flood. Tbe Lak Shore.

Nickel Elate and Erie are blockaded. Passenger and freight trains are sidetracked where they were caught, and are unable to move. Many miles of track are under water, while the culverts are full to tbe brim and in many places gone. Engines Ar Standing on Bridges where tbe waters are rising in order to prevent the flood from carrying them away. Cleveland was thoroughly blockaded Wednesday afternoon.

Every line was the water and badly crippled. Officials were unable to tell anything about damages and knew nothing more than that the tracks were under water, Every brook was a stream, and on level gronnd the water ran over the tracks in miniature lakes. It has been years since the roads were In such had shape. Every culvert was full, and where they were too small a crevasse would be made large enough to bury train. Instead of the situation growing better the outlook Is more serious owing to the rainfall.

There was only one line open to New York out of Cleveland, Wednesday. Tbe Lake Shore, for the first time in years, was in a state of siege. Harbor creetc, between Erie and Dunkirk, covered the entire country. Tbe strong current took away the banks around the bridge culverts, threatening to sweep the entire structure away. The danger became so bad that all trains were stooped, and things are at a complete standstill.

An effort was made to get trains over the Nickel Plate and Erie line, but both were In the same state. There was nothing to do but wait. Two special bridge gangs were sent from CONTENTS OF TODAY'S GLOBE. Pag. 1.

Th Duke of York and the Princess May were cheered repeatedly by the thousands of guests. Mr. Gladstone was present, looking tired and irritated. A hostile demonstration was made by some of the ultra Tories when he appeared. Tne demonstration was comparatively mild at first, but increased rapidly lu volume and Insolence.

Despite the fact that the prime minister was the guest of the Prince of Wales, he was received eventually with a storm of hooting and hissing wherever he was recognized. bo great was the uproar that the Liberals present could not drown it with their counter cheers. The opinion almost universally expressed tonight in London is that the demonstration was a disgraceful exhibition of partisanship and a direct insult to tbe Prince of Wales, with whom the prime minister had just dined, in company with visitors from India. It is said that Mr. Gladstone absented himself from the exercises at the opening of the institute in accordance with the advice of friends, who believed that if he appeared he would be hooted at.

Gray Gables Bought Indirectly On His Account. Dedham, Mav 17. Albert Winslow Nickerson. a multi-millionnaire. Western railroad director and one of tbe most intimate of President Clevelands non-political friends, is dead.

Ilis illness was brief, but serious from the first noticeable symptoms, and for several days several doctors and his family have been in constant attendance. The fatal illness bad its inception last Thursday from a cold which Mr. Nickerson caught in driving from Brookline to his home in Dedham. The cold then contracted uuickly devel-oped into peritonitis. This morning the phvsiclans declared that his chances of recovery were small.

In their judgment an operation was advisable. and accordingly they performed it during the forenoon. The sick man seemed to gain strength, as it was successfully and satisfactorily concluded, and rallied so perceptibly that during the early afternoon it was given out that he was improving. As evening drew near, however, the patient grew weaker, and his life was en tirely despaired of. He died at 6.10, and about him were tbe attending physicians.

Rev. Dr. Starr, rector of St. Pauls Episcopal church, and the members of the family. Mr.

Nickerson was almost 53 years old, having been born on Perkins Jamaica Plain, a part of tbe town of West Roxbury. May 21. 184a He was the eldest son of Joseph Nickerson, who was one of the most famous of Boston 8 old-time merchants. For many years the father was tbe proprietor of a ship chandlery on Commercial where be acquired a fortune. He retired from business some years before his death, and became interested extensively in Western railroad projects.

He was one of the first men to see a promise of financial return from a railroad along the route of tbe Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe. and one of the projectors of that road. He took an active part in tbe management of the road and was elected president. Later be became interested in tbe creation and development of tbe Mexican Central railway, and was also the president of the corporation, holding the presidency of both railroads at tbe time of his death. The son was educated in the Eliot school, a private institution, and.did not attend college.

Upon his father's death, lie found himself one of three heirs to several Millions of Ikollars. He had by this time passed his majority, and although he had never been permitted to engage in anv business, be took hold readily of the task left him in the shape of a large estate to care for. At tbe subsequent meetings of the stockholders. although tbe vacant office of president was filled by the election of other men, Albert W. Nickerson was made a member Overcoats $10.

We proposed a large prompt cash transaction. On our terms they sold us goods for about half price.

Heaviest Rainfall Known Several Tears. for Cleveland, May 17. Ther has boon a steady rainfall in this city and over northern Ohio for the past 48 hours, and at 8 oclock this evening the rain was still falling. Every stream in the northern part of the State is flooded bank-full, and the damage to farms in the State and factories and property in this city will be large. Tbe valley of the Cuyahoga river is a lake, and a mad, rushing torrent is forcing its way through this city.

Instead of the sluggish stream that is characteristic of the Cuyahoga. Bridges are endangered, lumber by tbe thousand feet is flowing into tbe river and out Into the lake, and factories up stream are either flooded or surrounded with a current of dirty water that threatened to tear them from their foundations. Cleveland and the Cuyahoga valley, that are generally exempt from river floods, are suffering as badly tonight as tne towns that annually are washed out along the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. Tbe flood has not been without loss of life, for at noon today the life-saving crew of this station, while trying to rescue two men who had been swept out into the lake wer Thrown Into the Waves by the overturning of their boat, and all but two of the crew lost their lives, while 1 tbe men drifting into the lake were drowned also. The names of those who lost their lives in attempting to save others were: Chester Simons.

John Johnson, Nicholas Servas, Albert Currier. The life-savers who were rescued were: George Wilson, Lawrence Driscoll, George Loher. Capt. Distell and the other two life-savers who escaped were brought ashore by the tug Alva B. The lifeboat was found after the accident near tbe east end of the breakwater.

The rain began to fall about 4 oclock, Monday afternoon. Since then it has not abated a bit. and the high wind that has been blowing has made tbe lake rougher than it has been in years. Great waves sweep inland and drive their spray high over the tracks of the Lake Shore railroad which are generally exempt from floods of the kind. Work in al) the lumber yards has been stopped and large piles of lumber are being swept down the river from various points by the rapid currents.

That portion of the flats between Seneca st. bridge and the works of the Standard Oil Company is almost completely submerged. The place presents the appearance of a huge lake, and the wator is steadily rising. The streets in the locality named areim-passable, the water being from six Inches to two feet deep on most of them. The lumber companies will suffer losses to tbe extent of many thousands of dollars.

Tbe owners were hurrylDg about all the morning in buggies from office to office discussing tbe situation. and trying to devise means of saving their property. Gangs of men were at work in the various yards, all up to their waists in water and making ropes fast to the lumber piles to prevent their Deing carried off. Up to noon it was estimated that over $10,000 worth of wood had been swept away and fears were entertained that be LIGHT COLORED SUITS.

A.SHUMAN SI CQ. CLOTHIERS AND OUTFITTERS, QUumau oyncL BOSTON. ATTEMPTED MURDER OR SUICIDE. Barnett Miller in a Precrarious Condition at the City Hospital Two Bullet Wounds in His Head. At 12.35 oclock this morning officers of division 16 heard a pistol shot in the direction of the Public Gardens, and a moment later a second shot was heard.

Rushing in the direction of the reports, the officers saw a young man making his way to the entrance of the garden at tbe corner of Boylston and Charles sts. and caught up with him just as he reached tbe sidewalk. Tne man was bleeding from two bullet wounds, one in his chin and the other in his head behind the tight ear. Tbe young man gave his name as Barnett Miller. 20 years of age, but refused to tell where he lived.

He claims to have been shot by a Jew who lodged in the same place as himself, and would give no further information to the police. His story is not believed by the surgeons In charge at the City Hospital, whither he was taken in the police ambulance, as Lis face and head is burned by powder, which shows that the weapon must have been held very close to his person, and they are inclined to believe that the man shot himself and then threw tbe pistol away. Miller is in a very precarious condition, and will probably die. Inspector Knox, who was on duty at police headquarters, was aroused from his slumbers and was detailed to make an investigation of the affair, and If possible find out whether or not the case was one of attempted murder or suicide.
