The shock was too severe for his nervous system to endure. Never very strong, he failed rapidly, and | lingered in an unconscious condition until hortly after midnight this morning when he died. William H. Tenney was born March 13, 1815, in Georgetown, D. C. His father, Isaac Tenney, formerly of Newburyport, Mass, was engaged in the shipping business and was a heavy im- porter of salt. When the war of 1812 closed | the sudden decline in prices of all imported articles swept away his fortune. Soon after ward he die seven children. the youngest son barely two | years old, and without any means for their maintenance. Mr. Tenney was thus compelled | to begin very early to take his place asa bread- frinner. ond help in the support of his mother. He could spare lit an earnest desire for the best success, he de- voted ail his spare hours to study and useful many college-bred men. For many years he carried on the grocery business at the aa corner of High and Bridge streets. In polities he was an old line whig, and dur- ing the war of the rebellion an earnest Union | man, at a time when to befriend the Union re- | quired st. dfast courage, the sacrifice of life- long friendships and the sundering of family ties. He always took an active interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of his native city, and was largely instrumental in the adoption of a plan for a sinking fund to extinguish the debt of Georgetown, and de- voted much time to the successful carrying out of that plan. For many years he was ‘a mem- ber of the city councils, was afterward a mem- ber of the Levy Court of the District, and when the Metropolitan police system was inau- gurated he was one of the first Commissioners appointed by President Lincoln. This posi- tion he held for several years. He was early elected a member of the Society of the Oldest Inhabitants, and manifested great interest in all their proceedings. In 1841 he married Miss Eliza Cropley, of Boston, England, who died in August, 1882. Of a family of ten children four are now living, William, the eldest, resid- ing in Minneapolis; Robert, who since his ma- jority hrs been aasociated with his father in business, Anna, wife of Chas. H. Lindsay, of Scranton, Pa., and Louisa, the youngest child, who has lived at home.

While the collection contains few pic- tures exemplifying the latest achievements in American art, it is an exceedingly interesting one in a historical or illustrative point of view, and contains many canvases of gennine merit, by both American and foreign artists, and rep- resenting different periods. Among thei are some undoubted works by great masters, but as their authenticity is not established by an un- broken line of documentary evidence, the enta- logue modestly speaks of themas “‘attributed,” only, in each case, so that, what is rare in pic- ture sales, buyers are guarded from imposition or misrepresentation in every instance. The collection is attracting, as it should, very gen- eral attention, antl the sale will no doubt be largely attended. Both the exhibition and the catalogues are free. cs Lavishness at Hockstein’s.
