Mr. George W. Riggs, the banker, died early this morning at his country residence, Green Hil, Montgomery county, Md. The melan- choly fact was announced to the public this morning by crape on the door of the banking house at the intersection of Pennsylvania and New York avenues. Mr. * serious illness has been mentioned in Tue Star from time to time within the last two weeks. He began to complain of ill-health about three months ago. jor to that his life, which had nearly filled out the three score years and ten allotted to man, had been almost entifely free from serious illness. During the present sum- mer, though in failing coors Bo ae to personally supervise his banking business, Gnving beck and. forth fier Grok Hill every day. A little over a fortnight ago, however, he was attacked with hemorrhages of the stomach, which contined him to his bed. By the most careful attention he recovered from the first attack, but was left in astate of great physical exhaustion. Though he appeared to be rallying and gainingstrength the physicians were apprehensive lest there should be a recurrence of the hemorrhages, which it was felt wauld in- evitably prove fatal in Mr. Riggs’ weakened con- dition. The dreaded symptoms returned yester- day. Last night, however, no great alarm was expressed concerning his condition. He ap- K ed to be getting stronger until midnight. Then he was seized with hemorrhage and sank into a stupor from which he never rallied. Death occurred about three o'clock this morning. In- formation of his death communicated to the omicials at the bank early this morning in a note from Mr. Frank Riggs. who was in attendance at his father’s deathbed. Such favorable reports had been received from the patient during sey- eral days past that the news was unexpected. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Peerless in the estimation of the community in which he lived, and with a world-wide reputa- tion for commercial and private integrity, in connection with the bankins house of Corcoran & Riggs, and subsequently as the head of the house of Riggs & Co., both of which enjoyed the entire confidence of the business community as far as business extended, his decease will be severely felt. and deeply mourned not only for his absence from the business world, but for his unostentatious charity which he quietly dis- pensed with a liberal hand to the poor and He entered on his active business life with W. ’. Corcoran, as Coreoran & Riggs, in 1836, on F eet, in Washington, and they ‘conducted a cesaful business from the commencement. In 1840 they enlarged their operations by purchas- ing the property now occupied by Riggs & Co., formerly the old bank of the United States. The firm rendered essential aid to the government Palmer, assistant secretary. The following patents have been issued to per- sons in this city:—Edward J.Stellwagen, sponge cup; D. Breed, assignment in part of reissue, a] Pparatus for removing green corn trom the cob.

When the loan of 1848, $14,000,000 more, was put on the market, Corcoran & Riggs, to the sur- prise and chagrin of the New York money men, obtained the whole, but on the Ist July of that year the subject of this notice retired from the firm to private life, and Mr. Corcoran associated. with him Elisha Riggs, Mr. G. W. Riggs’ half brother, himself recently deceased, so tne great of Corcoran & Riggs continued until 1st April, 1854, when both Mr. Corcoran and Elisha Riggs retired, and Mr. Geo. W. Riggs, the sub- ject of this notice, returned to business as the head‘of the present firm of Riggs & Co., that to- day stands as high in the estimation of the busi- hess world as any house at home or abroad. Mr. Riggs was remarkable for strength of mind and for his power to grasp and fathom any subject presented to him. Mild and retiring in dis- position, yet hishand was ever open to the calls of worthy necessity, and in all his transactions his judgment was Prompt, and _his conclusions Just.—the very soul of honor and of every hon- orable impulse being quickened, strenzthened, and refined by a liberal education, and the en- lightened influences with which he was sur- rounded. He was born in Georgetown, in the house now owned and occupied by Dr, Grafton Tyler, July 4, 1813, and the community will cherish his memory as of one whose faithful- ness in all the relations of life entitled him to the affectionate consideration of those among whom he was born and reared, and in whose midst he passed away. Elisha Riggs, father of Mr. G. W. Riggs, was born in Montgomery county, Md., and for many years was engaged in the wholesale dry goods ness with Mr. George Peabody, who after- wards became famous asa philanthropist. The firm name was Riggs & Peabody, and they occupied a store corner of Wash- ington and Bridge streets. The firm fterwards sold out to Mr. Darius Clagett, the her of Mr. Wim. B. Clagett. Messrs. Riggs & Peabody then went into business in Baltimore, and subse Riggs went to New York. Mr. Geo. W. Riggs in early life was engaged in tile business with his father, and received ‘h proved of great value to him. tanding the fact that he devoted nself with an energy rarely equaled to his banking business, he still took an active part in many public movements and private busines enterprises. For many years he held a seat in the board of aldermen of the old corporation of Washington. Since the abolition of the elective franchise in the District he has been prominent in the various movements which ultimately re- suited in placing the District on a good financial footing with the g ernment. As chair- man of the old Committee of One Hundred, he was entitled to much of the credit of securing the “fifty per cent” contribution of the sSovernment towards the expenses of the District, an ecuring the credit of the Dis- trict by havide the general government assume the responsibility of District bonds. He was one of the most active men in the Washington and Georgetown Railroad company; was one of the founders of the National Union Insurance com- pany, and a trustee of the Corcoran Art Gallery. MR. RIGGS’ ESTATE has been variously estimated. Recently it was 000,000. A mem- ber of the banking firm told a Star reporter that he did not believe Mr. Riggs himseif could hay® told how much wealth he possessed without sit- ting down and calculating the amount. “I do not believe he ever gave a thought to it,” con- tinued the same gentleman. WIS FAMILY. He leaves three daughters and two sons to mourn theirloss. His eldest daughter, Madame Geoffroy, died in February last. All of his sur- viving children are here except Mrs. Henry Howard, who is abroad with her husband. THE BANKING HOUSE. The death of Mr. Riggs will cause no inter- ruption in the business of the bank. The tirm a8 now composed consists of Messrs. John El- liott, Charles C. Gioyer, Thomas Hyde and E. Francis Riggs, the latter’ being the son of Mr. Geo. W. Ri Mr. Elliott has charge of the branch house in New York. HE BECOMES 4 CATHOLIC. Mr. itis stated, was in early life con- nected with the Protestant Episcopal eburch, but his life was closed within the pale of the Catholic church, to which the members of his family belong. his final illness Rev. Father Lynch was in fendance upon him and administered the final rites of the Catholic chureh. The funeral will be held under Catholic auspices. % THE FUNERAL. Mr. R. F. Harvey, the undertaker, to-day went to Green Hill to make arrangements for the fun- eral. It has been decided to have the funeral take place Saturday morning from St. Aloysius church. a The Steamer Sue. At a meeting of the passengers of the steamer Sue, on her trip from Washington to Baltimore, August 2ist, 1881, on motion a committee of three was appointed to draft suitable resolu- Hons, which committee reported the following, lopted: Washington Grove Camp Hecting.

To-day the camp presented a much livelier appearance than it did yesterday, although there are not as many people on the grounds as were expected, this being the day the country people usually turn out in force. There were not more than 300 new arrivals on the grounds from every juarter. The 8:30 meeting was led by the Rev. Ryland, of Uniontown, and was spoken of as best yet held. At 10:30 the bell rang for Preaching in the tabernacle.

Dr. Lanaban followed in an exhortation such as is seldom heard on a camp ground. The Doxology was then sung and the meeting dismissed. THE CHULDR! MEETING was held in the large meeting tent at 2 o'clock p.m. This was crowded to its utmost capacity, and was in charge of the Rev. Dr. Laney, of Gorsuch.

This being the d set apart for this service, Many who would otherwise have gone to the city remained to participate, thus making the crowd (within the circle) nearly as large as on Sunday, the “tabernacle” being packed, and as many standing on the outside as could hear. The solemnity of the occasion seemed to be felt by all, and there was no walking about or talk- ing. The service was in charge of the presidmg elder, who opened it by reading selections of Scripture, on which he made a few remarks. The service of the church was read, and about 350 persons partook of the sacrament. After the white people had partaken, the colored peo- ple were invited. At theclose of the service, the Rey, Richard Norris made an eloquent ap- peal to the unconverted to come forward, but none responded. ‘The meeting was closed with the benediction. EVENING SERVICES.

Last evening Mr. Uriah Griftith had four of his family taken down with the disease. In conversation with several people on the subject, the opinion was expressed that the cause of the sickness is a few old wells not in use for drinking purposes, but thorough cesspools of disease. ‘the first case which re- sulted fatally was the little son of Mr. Isaac Warfield. Upon examination of the well on the premises a dead rat was found init in a com- plete state of decomposition. Mr. Crawford, who lost his son last week, and has three other children down with the disease, uses the water from a well about. fifty yards distant from one inwhich were found dead snakes,frogs and other filth. Inthis well thereisabout ten feet of water, and it is never used. When the to, was taken off the boards were found to be rotten and the stench from the well sickening. It is supposed that this well being on higher ground than Mr. Crawford’s well the water drained into it and District Government Affairs.

There have been 1 twenty-four cases of sickness, and some or six deaths, with several lying very low. ———— Dr. Godding, superintendent of the Insane mi n, has sent a report to the District Com- ioners, embracing a list of insane persons now under treatment in that hospital, who have been admitted at the request of the Commission- ers, as non-residents of the District. He says the crowded state of the hospital renders it de- sirable that so many as safely can be, should be removed to their respective places of residence. ‘Then follows a list of twenty-six persons, with a brief description of their several complaints and peculiarity of each case. He states that while three or four only could be removed with special precautions, moved to the auth the majority could be re- orities of the city or state where they have a residence, with no more than the ordinary care exercised in the removal of any insane erson, but it would be improper to turn any ofthem at large on the community.

Theemployers were notified to be present so that there could be no misunder- standing, as it was thedesire of the journeymen that their views shonié be exchanged, but very few of the bosses attended. It was stated dur- ing the discussion thatthe Journeymen are re- ceiving less wages in this District than in any city inthe Union,.the average wages being, a3 it was claimed $2.50 te $3 per day elsewhere, while the wages here average from $2 to $2.50 perday. Some of the largest shops are paying $2.50, but the rest pay but #2. There are now employed about three hundred journeymen painters in this city. Those bosses who now pay $2.50 are threatening to reduce the pay to $2 rday. It was claimed that a strike would accomplish their ends. Work is now plen- tiful and has to be finished before cold winter weather. It was stated that the government is now Paying the amount claimed, and a uniform price should prevail; besides in private shops taore hours for a day’s labor are exacted than in the government shops. It was also stated that about a dozen men are already on strike. Judge Maddox, of New York, was introduced and made a speech, stating that he was a car- penter by trade, and was a member of thg union. He set forth the relations existing between the employer and the journeymen, and dwelt upon the dignity of labor and ‘the exalted place in society and the body politic held by the work- ingman. He urged organization and unity of action, as the only remedy for redressing the wrongs of the laboring classes. At the close a discussion followed, in which Mr. R. Fenton, a Journeyman, stated that he would work for $2 per day as long as there was a house to paint. Mr. Steinberg, ‘an employer, said he would pay $4 per day if all the bosses would do the same. The journeymen deserve all they can get, as the business was an unhealthy one. Mr. James Sin- clair said he would join tye union if the right Kind of men could be elected, but he was opposed to men who would go back on their engage- ments. Mr. Steinberg said he would pay a union man more than he would an outsider; all should join the union; by this means they could com- mand respect. A yote of thanks was tendered to Judge Maddox for his address. getealias Sire dia The Public School Trustees, PROGRAM ADOPTED FOR THE OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS.
