James Shouse, one of the oldest river pilots in the Pittsburg district, died Monday night at his home on Beaver street, after an illness of three months. Born in Steubenville, Ohio, in 1831. Gapt. Shouse took to the river when 12 years old. and' followed it for 60 years. For over 50 years he was a licensed pilot, and regarded as one of the best navigators on the river between Pittsburg and Louisville. In fact he held it as a subject for much pride that in a half-century's service piloting river towboats, he had not lost a single boat, a record which is said but one or two other men who ever ran out of Pittsburg could equal. Gapt. Shouse was in the United States transport service during the Givil war. He remained hale and hearty even after he quit the river two years ago, until about three months ago when he had a stroke which ultimately brought on his death. He had been a resident of the Sewickley valley for 30 years. His wife and six children, as follows, survive: Mrs. O. W. Prince, of Ambridge; Mrs. W. U. Bruff, of Sewickley; Richard E. Shouse, of Goburg, Ontario. Ganada; George B. Shouse,of Steubenville, Ohio,and Hettie and Frank Shouse, at home. He is also survived by a brother, Gharles B. Shouse, of Toledo. Gapt. Shouse had been for many years a leading member of the Baden German Lutheran church. Services were conducted on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, by Rev. Geo. D. Grissman, of the M. E. Ghurch, and Miss Ethel Ritchey. Mrs. A. G. Thacher and Dr. J. R. Hood, assisted in song service. Interment was made in the Sewickley Gemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. Adam VonHofen, A. G. Walker, James S. Gray, Ghas. A. Rice, A. L. Mould and James M. Stinson. Business Men's Association. A Permanent Organization Formed on Monday Evening—Officers Elected and Other Business Transacted. SIXTY-FIVE MEMBERS ENROLLED. On Monday evening, in the hall over Mr. E. B. Gray's meat market, was held a meeting of the business men of this place and a permanent organization formed, to be known as the Sewickley Business Men's Association. There were some forty odd business men in attendance and not a little interest manifested. The roster of this Association contains the name of nearly every business man in the town. There are sixty-five members at present and several who have made application for membership. There are bright prospects ahead and the Association stands for the advancement of the town from every viewpoint, not only taking concerted action upon business affairs, but by taking an interest in civic affairs. When once the organization gets into good working order there will be much to be derived from it by its members and the entire community will reap a benefit. Once a year there will be a day set aside and known as ''Sewickley Day," and it will be given over to a relaxation from business cares. The Association is not a trust formed to maintain high prices or to deprive any citizen of his rights —but is quite the contrary. Through uniform action the indiscriminate granting of credit and the minimizing of bad accounts can be controlled if not eradicated, and such perplexing problems as excessive express rates and high insurance premiums can be taken up and oombatted in an intelligent manner, which will undoubtedly result in good for the members of the Association.
