Details: The news of the death of Mr. Wm. Arnott, which sad event took place at Arnott Holme, Strathfield, at a late hour last evening, will be received everywhere with the deepest regret. The deceased gentleman left Newcastle nearly two years ago, and took up his residence at Strathfield. He had been in failing health the whole of that time, and the end was not unexpected. Mr. Arnott was born in Edinburgh in 1827, and came to New South Wales when but 20 years of age. He began business in Hunter- street as a baker in 1865, and having made a success of this, he established the present large factory in Melville-street, Cooks Hill, which has since undergone remarkable expansion, and now finds employment for hundreds of men, boys, and girls. Of late years the conduct of the business has been largely directed by his sons. Apart from business, he was widely known in connection with the religious and charitable institutions. For 22 years he was superintendent of the Newcastle Wesleyan Sunday School, and for six years held the same office in the Wesleyan Sunday School at Mayfield. Mr. Arnott was devotedly attached to his church, and liberally supported it. He took a keen interest in the New- castle Benevolent Society, having been hon. treasurer to the committee from the inception of the society, in 1885. In 1897 he became president, in succession to Mrs. J. C. Ellis, a post he continued to hold up to the time of his death. He was president of the Newcastle Young Men s Christian Association for nine years, prior to 1897, and was one of the strongest supporters of the movement. He was a well-known figure in all kinds of religious and philanthropic meetings, at which his capable chairman- ship made him a desirable leader. In the early days of the Benevolent Society the deceased gentleman bequeathed £1000 to that institution, and in all charitable matters he was ever to the fore, his cheque being always available whenever a deserving case was brought under his notice. As a citizen he was respected and esteemed by all classes of the community, while in commercial circles he was known throughout the length and breadth of Australia as a business man of integrity and high principle. Mr. Arnott leaves a widow and grown-up family of seven sons and five daughters. The funeral is to take place tomorrow afternoon, leaving the deceased s late residence for the Rookwood Cemetery.

Details: WILLIAM ARNOTT, Biscuit Manufacturer, Melville-street, established his business fourteen years ago. It is restricted entirely to wholesale dealing, and gives employment to 250 hands ; but though the business is of such gigantic proportions, no travellers are engaged. Mr. Arnott manufactures all descriptions of plain and fancy biscuits and cakes to the extent of 100 tons of flour, sixteen tons of butter, forty tons of sugar, and 8000 dozen of eggs per month. These figures are significant of the immense output of the factories, which cover an area of one and a-half acres, and are under the management of Mr. Leslie Arnott
