BE 18 CHARGSD WITH MAKING A DISTURBANCE AT THz HOTEL RICURIZ. Senhor N. de Siquelra Lamatx, of the Brazilian legation, was reported to the police Saturday night as making a disturbance fn the hotel Riche- leu, 1728 Pennsylvania avenue. of which Madame Du Bols ts the proprietor. He, tt was said, had broken the glass of the door, in doing which his hana was cut A police officer was sum- moncd, but the man Was not arrested on account of his privileges as a _representa- lve of a foreign government. Finally the attache wandered out in the strect and was taken to the police station by an officer, but Was soon released and went to his home. SENHOR LAMAIX’S STATEMENT TO THE STATE DEPART- MENT. Mr, Lamaix, who fs one of the secretaries of the Brazilian legation, and ad interim charge @affatres, called at the State department this morning to explain the reported escapade which resulted in his being taken to police headquarters Saturlay night, In an-interview with Assistant Secretary Adee he stated that he had retired, but about one o’clock, rememb2ring that he had left something in the restaurant, dressed himself and went down stairs and attempted to gain admis- sion, but could not get in, and in clamoring at the door he broke the glass and cut his hand. In the confusion which followed he was taken to police headquarters, as stated. He made a request that the Department of State ask Major Dye for a state- ment of exactly what occurred. This will proba- bly be done, WHAT MR. ADEE, OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT, SAYR. Mr. Adee sald to a Sran reporter to-day upon the subject: “Mr. Lamaix has been in the diplomatic service of his country for fourteen years, eight of which he, passed at Vienna, the strictest court, 1n the world. He is a gentleman of educa- tion and’ culture, and knows what is required of @ representative of a foreign government. I do not belive that he was in the Teast Intoxicated. He had been in this city but a few werks, and had not yet been presented to the Secretary of State. Of course he could not explain the situation of affairs to the policeman, for he 1s unable to speak more than a few disconnected words of English. Any fordgner who is in the least excited can easily be taken for an intoxicated man. If you had seen him talking tome this morning you would have thought him under the influence of liquor, judging from his manner, but he was in reality talking as I am to you. ’Tbe idea of his asking for the Secretary of State is ridiculous, or threatening to make the peliceman’s children fatherless.” He sald,however, “that he did try to ask where Mr.Davis was. What grieves Mr. Lamatx most,” coniinued Mr. Adeo,“Is that his’ wife's name should have been dragged into the matter, when she ‘was in no way connected with It.’ I am perfectly satisfied that Mr. Lamaix was not intoxicated, and if he could have made himself understood would have made a satistactory explanation at once, but his attempts to do so were misunder- stood.” A FRIEND OF SENHOR LAMAIX SAID? “The account in a morning paper about Senhor Lamaix was wrong. The gentleman, so far as the department knows, has not been relleved as charge d'affaires for Brazil, and the notification that he would act as such was received only three or four days ago. He was not drunk, although he was excited after the manner of Spanish-Amer- tcans, and the bringing of his wife into the story was very scandalous. It had no foundation in truth, Senor Lamaix is a diplomat of fourteen years’ experience, and knows his business thor- oughly. He has served in Vienna for eight years, and he could not have made the mistake, drunk or sober, to have asked to see the President or Secre- tary Frelinghuysen, to whom he has not been pre- sented. Moreover, he does not speak English well enouzh to threaten to make a pollceman’s children orphans.” eo Death of Judge Black. THE DISTINGUISHED JURIST AND STATESMAN PASSES QUIETLY AWAY—A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. Judge Jeremiah 8, Black died at his restdence, “Brackle,” near York, Pa. at ten miputes past two o’clock yesterday morning, in his seventy- fourth year. The direct cause of his death was taxaemia, a poisonous condition of the blood, caused by absorption of retained urinary constituents prior to the final operation. He was conscious to within a few moments of his:death, and passed away without a struggie. Mrs. Judge Black, Lfeutenant Governor and Mr& Black, Mr. Henry Black, of Franklin county; Mr. and Mrs, Hornsby, A. B. Farquhar and Dr. Meisenhelder were with, ‘him at the time of his d 2. HIS DYING PRAYER. Shortly before Judge Black died he said to his wife: “How can I fear to cross the dark river when my Father walts for me on the othershore?” and addea: “ Would I were as comfortable bout all I leave behind unfloished tn this world,” and then breathed the following earnest prayer: “Ob, ‘Thou beloved and most Merciful Heavenly Father, from whom I hadmy being. and in whom I have ever trusted, if it be Thy will, (Say that my suffering end, and that I speedily be called home to Thee. And oh, my God, bless and comfort thee, wy Mary.” The news of Judge Black's death, while not un- expected, was a shock to the community where he had lived so long, and appropriate Teférence Was made to the deceased in the pulpits of York. His funeral will take place on Tuesday, and Rev. Frederick Power, the pastor of the Vermont Ave- hue Christian church of this eity, 1s expected to officiate. BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE, Judge Black was born in the Glades, Somerset: county, Pa., on the 10th of January, 1810. He was therefore in the 74th year of his age at the time of his death. He was admitted to tne bar in 1830, and while following his profession took an active part in the sto the name of Ja 5 democratic politicians, and Judge Blac! democrat throughout the 4 was a hole of his Ife of the sturdtest Jeff-rson and Jack: an type. In 1842 he was appointed presiding judge of the court of the district In which he resided, and in 1853 was elected judge of the supreme courtor his state and chosen chief Justice, being re-elected to the same high position in 1854. March 5, 1857, the day after Mr. Buchanan took his seat as President, he appointed Judge Biack Attorney General of the United States, and three years later, during the stormy period that preceded the outbreak of our civil war, he held the port‘ollo of Secretary of State, continuing in that position until President Buchanan’s term of office expired, on the 4th of March, 1861. Judge Black was tn’ 1878 elected a Member of the Pennsylvania constitutional con- Vention on the democratic ticket of delegates at- large. Since that time, owing to professional engage- ments, he did not take an active part in politics, As a writer on political topics and a8 @ controver- Sialist he has been kept before the public in late years. His controversy with Senator Henry Wil- Son, concerning the patriotism of Secretary Stan- ton; his repites to Mr. Ingersoll, in which be proved Rimsetf a stout champfon o' Christiantty,and 18 letters on political subjects show the pen of a ready and powerful writer. His practice was con- fined chiefly to the Supreme Court, and his was A FAMILIAR FIGURE in the streets of Washington. He was about five feet eleven inches tn helght, with shaggy gray eyebrows that in repose gave his features a stern- ness of expression, which quickly melted away in the humorous twinkle of his eyes. He was of ruddy, healthy complexion, strong bodily frame anderect carriage. In 1964, while going to Gal- veston, Texas, in company with some other law- yers and Justice Swayne, to argue a railroad case, @ wood car that had slipped from {ts place on the siding of a Kentucky rail bum] inst the ‘side of the passing car, in which right hand was lying on an open window.

ONLY THRRE OPERATORS TAKEN BACK 80 FAR IN THE WESTERN UNION OFFICE. “We have taken three men back so far,” said Manager Clarke, of the Western Union, toa Stan reporter this morning. “We have no need of atv more help in the present state of business, and we will employ men as we need them. Business will Pick up in a month, when the cotton crop Is to be moved. Then Congress meets.” “Will you make any discrimination against in- Le) among the strikers?” asked the re- er. Pane. I don’t see any reason why I should,” was the reply. “J will try to get the best men, inde- Pendent of how active they were in the strike. Of course the six men who seceded from the offlce are an exception. They were discharged, and the su- intendent will not allow them to be taken back. tut with this exception there will be no distinction made,” Mr. Clarke sald further that all the branch offices in_ the city—about seven in number—had been reopened. ‘Twelve operators went out of the B. and 0. office in this city. ONLY FOUR OPERATORS TAKEN BACK IN THE B. & ©. OFFICE. “How many operators have you taken back,” asked a SraR man of Col. Harry Clarke, the man- ager of the B. & O. telegraph company, “of the 45 who struck?” ‘Let me see,” replied the colonel reficctively. “We have taken four men back since the war ended—all that we need. As business picks up,” he continued, “of course there will be further openings, but just now the volume of business does not demand It.” “Do you make any discrimination in those you take back as to whether they were active in the strike or not,” asked the reporter. “No, nothing of the sort,” was the reply. “We take our pick of the best mén, and that is all. We have no ill will towards them. We require a promise from the men that they will withdraw from the brotherhood and take no further part in that order. But there is no oath demanded.” “‘As business picks up,” continued the colonel, in reply toa question, ‘the branch offices that have been closed will be opened and the services Of additional operators will be required. It may be a week or a month before the full force will be at work again.” THE BROTHERHOOD KREP UP THEIR ORGANIZATION. The striking operators haye given up their Tooms at the National hotel, but the brotherhood still continues its regular meetings. One of them said to a Stak reporter to-day, “all of the first- class operators will get back Yery soon and the others will come in when the business increases. Very few of the men talk of going away from the city, but, of course, if they hear of a better op- portunity they would leave now more readily.” KEY NOTES. “The policy of the Western Union now,” said an operator, rather bitterly, “Isto scatter the men as much as possible over the country and get them away from thelr homes, The men are told that they can get employment in Pittsburg or some other distant point, and the scheme 1s to shift the men about as much as possible. Men are brought here from Chicago, are sent from the south to the north and vice versa.” ‘The men who withdrew from the Western Union after the strike began. and whom the Western Union company has refused to employ again, are the following: Kanode, EJ. Stewart, D. Marean, Austin, McKelden, Wilitam Bender. It 13 stated among the operators that the West- ern Union has taken back six men since Satur- day. Of these one Is a first-class operator, but ali were taken back at reduced salaries, ee Shooting Affray in Maryland. ONE MAN SHOT TWICE, AND WILL PROBABLY DIE. Last Saturday there was a horse race at Sult- land, Prince George’s county, Md., and the owners of two of the horses, John Eillott'and Wm. Lusby, had a dispute arter (he race, which resulted in the shooting of the former by the latter, one ball en- tering the breast near the left nipple, and the other the stomach. One ball was taken'out near the spine and close to the neck; the other was not found, Doctors Torrey and Bayne rendered the Surgical ald.

A tel- egram to the New York Sun says: Every man on the senatorial and legislative ticket is ant!-Pendle- ton, except _posstbly J. E. Bruce, a young Cincin- nati attorney, who is said to be absent visiting friends in Hudson, Ohio. John R. McLean was a delegate to the convention, and had everything his own way.

ON BOARD WHILE BEING PUKSUED BY AN UN- KNOWN STEAMSHIP. There has been much talk at Atlantic City and considerable excitement over tie report that an unknown schooner sank off Beach Haven on Fri- day evening with all hands. Iv is said that she was pursued by a Steamer; that both vessels were heading for the shore under full sail and steam, and that when about five miles out the schooner suddenly sank. It was also sald that the schooner carried a black flag. The eye-witnesses of thls singular occurrence were Dr. Holden, a well- known physician of Newark, N.J., who lias been @ visitor at Beach Haven for ‘five or six sutamers; the doctor's wife, chifiren and coachman. Dr. Hotden’s statement, which he corroborated in per- son, and for wnich his family aad coachman Youch, 1s as follor “I had been gunning for marsh fowls during the afternoon of Friday. The storm having cleared overhead, although the waves were running moua- tain high, my wife and family drove out to meet me at a polot some two miles north of Beach Ha- ven. Just opposite the life-saving station, which 1s not manned this summer, we saw a raklsh- lag, Making straight toward Us, and apparently pursued by a steamer. Theschooner labored heay- lly and shook about a great deal in the heavy seas My attention was attracted particularly by the Diack flag, which rose clear against the horizon as an enormous wave lifted the schooner until the entire hull, apparently Milled with men, stood out in bold relief. I ‘watched her sink’in the trough, and when I looked again she was nowhere to be seen. The steamer. which was stiil some distance to the south, came directly to the spot where we last saw the schooner, steamed carefully around it, and then came to’a dead halt. She remained there apparently motionless for half an hour. I sighted at her down my gun-barrel, and am sure she did not move in that time. She then steamed to the north and out to sea, I could not see her launch any boats or make search for the crew of the schooner, though it is natural to sup- pose that she did so.” Frank Taylor, the telegraph operator, said yes- terday morning: “There is no doubt in the world of the correctness of Dr. Holden’s version of the mysterious affair.” Mr. Taylor says he has no in- formation of the name of either vessel.
