Montgomery Blair, whose serious fllness has been mentioned In THE STAR, died at three o'clock this morning at “Falkland,” his country rest- dence, near Silver Spring, Montgomery county, Maryland. The cause of his death was inflam- mation of the membranes of the spine. He had suffered from this disease for some years, and for the last elght months had been confined pretty closely to the house. On lis removal some weeks ago to his country home he scemed to rally some- what, and hopes were entertatued of his recovery, but at his adv inced age of 70 his recuperative pows ers were not equal to the cali upon them. He soon began to lose strengt agatn, and for the last ten days he has been gradually staking. He has been & great sufferer trom this most painful disease, but died tranquilly and resignealy tn full Christian trust. He leaves a wi'e, Ma 2 and four chiidren—three sons, Woodbury, G! 1a daughter, Miss Minna gi is colnetience that his sponded exzctly in numbers and se: with that of his father, Franc's P. Blair, who had three sons, Montgomery, Francis and James, and @ daughter, Ebzabeth, now the wife of Admiral Lee. Mrs. Lee fs the only surviving member of te four. Montgomery Blair was a distinguished meinber of @ notable family. He was born 1n Franklin county, Ky., May 10, 1813, and received a military education at West Point, Whence he graduated in After serving in the Seminole war he re- signed his commisston in 1836, and entered upon the practice of Jaw at St. Louis, Mo. He soon aciteved prominence in its profession, and in 1839 was appotnted United States district attorney for MissourL He was elevated to the vench of the Court of Common Pleas in 1843, and held that, po- sition for six years. He removed to Maryland in 1852, and soon became a prominent figure in the politics of that state, He was uppointed In 1855 to the post of solicitor of the United States in the Court of Claims, Before the repeal of the Mis- sourl Compromise he was a member of the op ety, but after that he Adentife, elf with = the — republican and Was consequently removed from office 58 by Prestdent Buchanan. Mr. Blair acted as counsel for the platut!ff'in the famous Dred Scott.case in 1857. In 1860 he presided over the Maryland republican convention, and tn 1861 was appointed Postmaster General by President Lin- coin. ‘ThisoMice he held until i864, During we latter part of hts life Mr. Blatr acted with the op- ponents of the republican party. He was recog- hized as a wise counsellor by ihe leaders of the democratic party, and though living in compara- tive retirement hd wielded a strong influence over the policy of that party. When the Union was Started here in 1876 as a central organ of the demo- eratte party Mr. Blair was at once chosen as the most suitable person to have editorial direction of the paner, and he continued bis connection with the Journal until tts publication esased, He Was one of the counsel representing Mr. Til- den’s claims beiore the electoral commission of 18 His s2gacity and ability were highly ap- preciated by Mr. ‘Tilden, and probably no other tan has held so warm a place in Mr. Tilden’s con- fidence and regard. He was the ‘democratic candidate for Congress from the 6th Maryland district last year, but falled of election, to the regret of many outside of party lines, who Westred_ 0 sce the state of Mary- land represented in Congreas by aloanof his character ant conspicuous ability. MR, BLAIR AT SILVER SPRING. For many years Mr. Blair had alternated his residence, winter and summer, between his house in this city and his chirming home at Silver Spring, Marsland. While his death will be ae- plored in both communities, hts 1038 to the latter Wil be mourned by every man, woman and chilt, for he was known to everybody there through the active part he took in all measures for the public welfare and in the interests of good neighboriood. In his death, as in that lately ot Hayward N. Hutchinson, the agricultural tterests of Mont- gomery county suffer a serious loss. Like Mr. futchinson, Mr. Blair made lirge expenditures ot money in tie purchase and renovation of ext sive tracts of the wild land of that county, and in the introduction of blooded stock and improv-d methods of agriculture. Ai his late enter- prises In this line was the erection of an extensive silo, and which by experimentiupon a large scal> during the past year satisfactorily established the value of theensilage plan of providing food for stock. Mr. Blatr’s time and money were also freely spent in the fleld of religious enterprise, and he ‘was literally “a pillar of the church” in’ Rev. Dr. Avirett’s Sliver Spring parish. He was one of the most prominent laymen of the Protestant Kpisco- pal diocese of Maryland, and an active member ot the convocation of Washington. He was assoct- ated with many charitable and benevolent enter- prises in this city, and recently was actively en- aged in pushing forward the project to build a Homeopathic hospital here. ‘A DISTINGUISHED FAMILY. Mr. Blair, upon entering pubitc life, had the ad- vantage of bearing a name which was already honored and distinguished. His father, Francis Preston Blatr, was one of the ablest journalists o: Nis day. He was a Virginian by birth, and entered political life early. He was a supporter of Henry Clay for the Presidency in 18%, and In November, 1830, upon invitation of President Jackson, becamé editor of the Globe, which was then e tablished tn Washington as the organ of the administration. He retained control of the journal ull 1845, and upon quitting tt was offered by President Polk the post of mintster to Spain, but declined tt. Tu 1848 he supported Mr. Van Buren for the Presidercy, and after the repeal of the Miss uri compromise took part, as his son Montgomery did, In the or- ganization of the republican party, During the latter portion of his life he lived at Sliver Spring, Md. His venerable figure was a famillar sizht on the streets of Washington, He died at Silver Spring tn 1876. FRANCIS PRESTON BLAIR, JR., a younger brother of Montgomery Blatr, left his law office in St. Louls and entered the army as a private when war with Mexico was declared, and when hostilities were at an end he resumed his professional practice. He became prominent ag a politician, served in the SMissourt legislature, and served in Congress in 1856, 1860 and 1862. He entered the army as colonel or volunteers in 1861, and gained the rank of major general by dls: Unguished services. After the war, becoming dis- Satisfied with the policy of the republican admin- istration he returned to the democratic party, with which he had been identified early in lire, and in 1865 was the democratic candidate for Vice President. In 1870 he was chosen U. 8. Senator from Missouri to fill a vacancy, his term expiring Maren 4th, 1873. He died at’St Louis July stu, 1875, MR. BLAIR AS POSTMASTER GENERAL. Some of the older officials of the Post Office de- partment remember the late Montgomery Blair when he was Postmaster General The majority of the employes, however, belong to another gen- eration, and only know ‘him a8 a public man, Among'those that were in the service during Mr. Blair’s administration were Mr. Gurley, the chief of the free-delivery service: Mr. Marr. the chief clerk of the first assistant’s Mice, and Judge Law- renson. Mr. Gurley satd that Mr. Blair was a very ressive Postmaster General, and could be sald to be the father of the free-delivery and money-order systems, OFFICIAL HONORS TO THE MEMORY OF THE DECEASED. The Postmaster General to-day issued the fol- lowing orders: “As a mark of respect to the late Hon. Montgomery Blair, ex-Postmaster General, it is hereby directed that the Post Office department, building be draped in mourning for a period of thirty days from this date; that the flag on the building be placed at half mast uotll after the burial of the deceased ex-Postmaster General, and that the department be closed on Monday, July 80th, the day of his funeral.” $+ ___—_.

The striking op2rators are very ind'gaant, over the way the seven Western Unton operators, who left yesterday, have been treated’. Last night, at the usuil meeting of the operators,a great deal of this indignation was manifested. To-day the operators gained possession of the following dis- patch, sald to have been sent here last week by George Snyder, the printing operator, who came here to take the place of James B. Austin, the printing operator who yesterday left the Western Union office: “Tell Austin it he has made up his mind to go to do it atonce,as I am under orders to leave for Washington at a moment's notice,and will leave this p.m. If Austin 1s going out at all don’t want to hang on his whim or caprice. Please let me know what he will do,—stay like aman and a printer or go out and join the gang like a coward.” “It is somewhat dtMcuit,” said an operator this morning, commenting on’ this dispatch, “to un- derstand why this man Snyder should be such an enthusiastic and zealous friend of the W. U. com- pany, when the manner in which his brother ‘Nick’ Snyder was treated by the company a few years ago is considered. During the strike of 1870 ’ was one of the ‘ins, and rked hard for the company during the entire struggle. Shortly after that event he left the service of the company and accepted a position with the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co. But when that firm failed he ap- plied for a posttion in the W. U., and was offered the munffleent salary of 75 per month, probably $39 a month less than he formerly received from the company. This ts but one of many hundrecs of similar cases exhibiting the deep gratitute of the W. U. to men who have been faithful, loyal servants.” A RALTIMORE AND OM10 STORY. “What 1s the Baltimore and Ohio coing todo?” asked a STaR reporter of one of the leading strikers this morntag. “We "t Say, Of course,” sald the operator, “put I will tell you a fact. The Baltimore and Ohio company are putting up duplex Instruments in their office.

The ability of the men on duty is un- questionable, and the force 1s ample in number to handle even much more business than fs being offered. BUNGLED DISPATCHES. As illustrative of the character of work now being turned out by the Western Union Telegraph company, Gen. H. V. Boynton to-day told a STAR reporter that he received two newspaper specials from Baltimore last night, and both so bunglingly written as tobe absolutely worthless. The spectals were reports of base bali games, each containing about 400 words. Names were misspelled, and in some places omitted altogether; figures were grouned £0 as to render the dispatches not only uninteiligitie but absurd. In short, the als patches plainly demonstrated the incapacity of the operators at work in the Western Union offices here. Gen. Boynton returned the dispatches to the oMfice as useless to hiin or bis paper. A dispatch was received at the Indian buresu today signed by “C. Ramsay.” After a careful stuily and many guesses It was at last decided to mean Crams! he B. & O. Vield? MANAGER CLARKE SAYS “NEVER.” Manager Clarke, of the Baltimore & Oh{o office, was called down from the operators’ room this morning by a Star reporter. “When ts te Baltt- more & Ohiocompany going to yield?” asked the reporter. a “Never,” said Manager Clarke. “You are decetv- Ing yourself on that point, and I think the strikers are deceiving themselves. We are doing all the work of this office just as well as ever. Of course, we have to work a little harder. Weare sending brokers’ dispatches—a business of which we never did much before—and we get replies just | as promptly and just as good In form as we ever did. I have had a dozen operators apply to me for work, but I did not need. them here, #0 I sent them to Baltimore, where I supnose they got. work.” “It ig stated that you are putting In duplex in- struments, and getting ready for an increase of business,” sald the reporter. “That’s not true,” said Manager Clarke. “We have one duplex Instrument, which was ‘put in several montiis ago. It is my private opinion—I don’t want you to give it as coring any official or the company—that the Baltimore & Ohio company will not yield before the Western Union company, if it yleids at all. The commer- cial business of the B. & O. company 1s compara- tively unimportant to that company, while it fs everything to the Western Union company. The Baltimore & Ohio company couli afford to sacri- fice this Interest and maintain tts lines for its rail- Toad business alone. The mistake these strikers made, from a business point of view, is that they should never have struck against the opposition. If they had not disturbed the opposition they could have brought the Western Union to terms, and I have no doubt the opposition companies would have accepted any terms agreed upan by the Western Union.” THE B, & 0. COMPANY AGAIN. ‘The correspondent of one of the leading western papers, a Chicago journsl that spends thousands of dollars annually for Washington dispatches alone, was relating his experience. He said that When the strike occurred he decided to | had the Baltimore & Onto company a portion of ‘his busi- ness, thinking that he could, by using it as well as the Western Union, get his dispatches through more promptly; but the specials he sent the B. & 0. company were returned with the information that it hag no Chicago wire working. This cor- respondent added: “Had the B. & O. been able to send our dispatches through promptly we would have given it all our business, and it could have held on to it, too.” He said his paper had always eee the Western Union, but if ina strait nsdom by making terms Wit its" operators, It wisdom by making would have made a big hit. WHAT AN OFFICIAL OF THE B. AND 0, SAYS. A Baltimore offiéial of the Baltimore and Ohio comyany relative to the position of that company said yesterday: “Our mren made a mistake in go- ing with the strikers, and I think they are begin- ning to see the thing In that it.
