Arrangements Made for the Funeral, Which Will Take Place Tomorrow —Sketch of His Successful Career. Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, president of the Citizens’ National Bank, died shortly before 9 o'clock Saturday night at his residence,on the corner of 16th street and Massachusetts evenue. The end had been foreseen by his family and intimate friends for several days, and was the culmination of an ill- ress extending with more or less serious phases over two years. At the beginning Mr. Johnson was afflicted with a bladder trouble, which occasioned nothing more than occasional inconvenience, but after a while the complaint grew more serious, and the sufferer commenced a struggle to over- come it. A complication of stomach trou- bles was later added to his original com- plaint. A week ago his condition became alarming; he could retain no nourishment, nd his physicians and family, as well as himself, prepared for the inevitable. Last Tuesday morning he was received into the Catholic Church, which he had long ago re- solved to join, the Rev. Father Kervick of St. Matthew's Church, and received the sacrament of extreme unction. From that time to the end he steadily grew worse. His physician, Dr. W. W. Jchnston, and all the members of his immediate family, as well as his brother, Mr. E. S. Johnson of Baltimore, died. He wes the first link in the family chain of nine brothers and two sisters to part, and lis bereaved wife and children and relatives have the sympathy of all who knew and loved him. ‘The Funeral Tomorrow. The funeral will take place tomorrow afterncon at 3 o'clock from the late res- idence, No. 1600 Massachusetts avenue. The turial services of the Catholic Church will be conducted by Rev. Father Kervick. The remains will thence be conveyed to St. Matthew's Church, where brief services, accompanied by singing, will take place. The interment will take place in Oak Hill cemetery, where the bedies of three of the dead man’s children already recline. The honorary pallbearers will be Col. George Truesdell, Mr. B. H. Warner, Col. O. G. Staples, Mr. L. G. Hine, Mr. Thomas C. Pearsall, Mr. W. H. West, Mr. 8S. T. G. Morsell, Mr. J. F. Saum, Mr. W. T. Walker, Mr. N. T. Shea, Judge Jere M. Wilson, Maj. H. L. Cranford, Mr. Thomas Somer- ville, Mr. Wm. S. Knox and Mr. William Holmead, the ten last named gentlemen be- ing the board of directors of the Citizens’ National Bank. The active pallbearers will be the eight surviving brothers of the de- ceased, who are Assessor J. Harrison John- son, A. Geary Johnson, V. Baldwin John- son, M. W. Johnson, Elbridge S. Johnson, Albanus L. Johnson, C. W. Johnson and Oliver P. Johnson. Sketch of His Career. Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson was one of the best-known and best-liked of Washington's citizens. His career in this city has been one of steady success and his name has be- come intimately associated with the prog- ress of the District in later years. He was born in Dorchester county, Md., on the eastern shore in 1845. He received a lib- eral education at the West River Classical Institute of his: native state, and upon his graduation entered upon a business career. At the age of twenty he game to this city to make his for- tune, and he succeeded as do few men, for he not only acquired wealth and position, but he won a warm place in the hearts of the people. His first business en- terprise was a small grocery store in South- west Washington, which section he made his home up to within a few years. This venture was profitable, and in @ few years Mr. Johnson went into the lumber business in a small way and gradually increased his scope until he formed a partnership with Wm. A. Wimsatt, in what has become one of the largest firms of the city. There was, meanwhile, consiierable belng done by Mr. Johnson's brothers, and he was one of those to organiz? the great firm of Johnson Brothers, which has dealt out coal by the millions of tons. Prosperity came to these young men, and graduaiy they ienti- fied themselves with the svutawest section, bought and sold real estate, and so. in- creased their holdings. E urtz Johnson was one of the b2st known of the brothers, and he became a direc! of the Citizene’ National 3ank In 188, and in that capacity began to be associated with the leading business enterprises of the city. He slowly increased his holding of stock in this ccr- poration until, in November, 1889, he se- cured a controlling interest, and, at the an- nual election, held in January, 18), he was. elected president of the bank, to succeed Gen. Creswell, ex-Postmaster General of the United States. Mr. Johnson's business associates saw in this move a sign of ad- vancement for him as well as for the bank. He had made considerable money just pricr to this event by the sale of some property at the end of the Long bridge to the Rich- mond and Danville Railway Company, which he had purchased some time before with this object in mind. Mr. Johnson was also a director in the Great Falls Ice Company and treasurer of the National Typographic Company. The Choptank Steamboat Company of Mary- land claimed him as a director and vice president, as well as the Mutual Fire In- surance Company and the Columbia Ma- chine Company. He was one of the pro- jectors and directors of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, and oniy withdrew from the same on account of his failing health. He was also an active work =r and director in Providence Hospital, the Emergency Hospital and several other charitable institutions of the District. He lived in Southwest Washington throvghout his earlier work, but about six years ago he built himself a splendid res- idence on Scott Circie, which he has since made his home. Mr. Johnson was never of a very robust constitution, though he was usually well. Two years ago, however, his business as- sociates noted a change in his appearance, and then, without much further warning, his health broke down, and he was obliged, much against his will, to leave the city in search of rest and recuperaticn. A year ago, in February, he went west, accom- panied by his wife, and remained aw: from all business cares for about nine months. This kept him away from the city during the panic of last summer, which, his friends here thought, was very fortu- nate. His heart was tender and his nature was sympathetic to the degree that he could hardly have withstood the calls made upon him for sympathy and aid during these trying times. It was his habit to give rost liberally to almost any seeker |for his charity, and it required careful Work among his friends to restrain him Te giving too freely at times when his heart was touched. For some time after his return to Wash- ington he seemed to be in fair health again, but during the late spring of the present year he began to feel his ailment growing worse, and in June he went to the Hot iprings of Virginia, where he failed to find the relief desired. So he returned to the city, and, afier a | very brief stay, went with his wife to | Portsmouth, N.'H., and thence to Boston, | where about six weeks were spent. But nothing seemed to be of avail against the progress of the disease, which had un- doubtedly been advancing for two years, | and on Monday, September 3, he and Mrs. | Johnsen returned to the city.

He is spoken of by all as a man of the highest integrity, and his achievements here have met with the applause of his neighbors and his associates generally. Seldom has a man acquired so much of success with the same amount of public approbation. Mr. Johnson was in politics a democrat until the ele&tion of President Harrison, at which time he espoused the republican faith. He was chairman of the committee on transportation during the Harrison in- augural proceedings, and as such came into close relations with the incoming chief ex- ecutive. Soon there sprang up a warm per- sonal friendship between the President and Mr. Johnson, which was continued after the former left the White House. Mrs. Harri- son and Mrs. Johnson were also close friends. Mr. Johnson was averse to holding public office, and the nearest approach to it that he would consent to accept was the position of alternate member of the national world’s fair commission from the District. In this capacity Mr. Johnson had frequent occa- sion to go to Chicago, and, it is thought, that he so wearied himself during the year preceding the fair that his disease, which was a complication of liver and stomach troubles, made great headway. ———-____ Mr. Astwcod’s Explanation. To the Editor of The Evening Star: WASHINGTON, D. C., September 14, 1804. Whilst I have been given a great deal of cheap notoriety of late through the papers, yet, with your permission, I cannot but take issue with the unjust criticism in your editorial today my letter to Mr. Taylor, so kindly published in your col- umns of yesterday. Your interpretation of my letter to Mr. Taylor, demanding a better official repre- sentation for our rate at the hands of the administration, is not necessarily the vulgar speculation that you seem to imply in your editorial. As far as I am individually concerned, I deny emphatically that I left the republican party for lack of official recognition. No individual had better official treatment at the hands of the republican party than I had. It is true that I was’ defeated for the San Domingo consulate by the influence of Mr. Douglass, the then minister to Hayti, and tne Clyde Steamship Company of New York, after I had been renominated by Mr. Blaine, but whatever may be said of Mr. Harrison regarding the matter, he was frank and truthful to me. When I called upon him after my defeat, he told me that he refused to sign my com- mission upon the representation of one of my best friends, and that my explanation came too late, as the appointment had al- ready been made. I asked kim if that meant a complete de- nial of official recognition at the hands of his administration. He replied, ‘Not neces- sarily so; that whilst a man might not be acceptable at one place, he might make a very desirable officer at another,” and im- plied that if the State Department present- ed my name for another place he would take it under advisement. i was then leaving for San Domingo to attend to important private affairg and had assurances that if I returned in a reason- able time I might get the consulship at Tamative, Madagascar. I did not return and the place went to Mr. Waller of Kansas. I simply state this to show that my griev- ance with the republican party was not office, because if it was, I would never have left it, as until now it is the only negro office-holding party, and we are trying to convert the democratic party to adopt the same principle, that is, if it wants negro support. Before the meeting of the Minncapolis convention in 1892 I gave it out over my signature that if Mr. Blaine was defeated, by office holders and machine methods, I would burn my bridges behind me and suv- Port Mr. Cleveland and tariff refurm, who I was certain would be nominated by the democratic party. All of this happeaed and I proffered my services all the way from San Domingo to the democratic ecmmittee to come on and stump for Mr. Cleveland, when it was an almost foregone conclusion that Mr. Harrison would be elected. I arrived in New York September, 1892. A prominent republican protectionist, who knew me in Louisiana, having Jarge inter- ests in San Domingo, offered to give me $1,500 if I would return by the same steam- er and straighten out some affairs for him and not take the stump for Cleveland, Harrison would be elected sure. I told him I could not do it, but would after the election, for one-third the money, which I did. Against the urgent protest of my friends in New York, I took the stump for Mr. Cleveland, and it was unders‘vod all through the canvass that if the colored people would support the ticket they would be given a fair representation if Mr. Cleve- land was elected. We carried out our part of the contract and because we ask the Party to comply with its you call us demo- crats for revenue. I stumped in New York and New Jersey for the party with great satisfaction, and held out these inducements to our people. Tariff reform was our campaign cry, with free raw material, so as to cheapen the commodities and better the condition of the wage earner and consumer. After weary months of useless speechify- ing in the Senate the tariff has not been reformed to any considerable extent, and after listening to the debates upon the ques- tion it will take a pretty smart man to de- cide which is the side of the highest pro- tection; and as the President did not sign the bill, “we are between the devil and the deep blue sea” as far as the tariff is con- cerned, the offices all parceled out, and we are led to ask, in the language of The Star, “What are we here for?" The Star indicates that had Mr. Cleveland given Mr. Astwood an office, he would not now be denouncing the party, &c. That goes without saying. I would have been like Mr. McVeagh, off drawing my salary, and this part of the job would have been left to my sanctified lawyer friend, T. Mc- Cant Stewart, who don't want a job in one breath, denounces the league for indorsing Mr. Cleveland in the next, and then pats him on the back, gets down on his knees and prays for the district attorneyship, and if not that, the assistant would do. Mr. Editor, these hypocritical non-office seeking politicians are the worst office-seeking cattle in the lot. It seems to me if there is anything that the President would detest it would be these cowardly, sneaking and hypocritical partisans. As far as I am concerned the party knows where I stand. My bridges that were burned behind me are being rapidly constructed for me by the Louisiana sugar planters, who have been democrats all of their lives, and if they build them strong enough for them to pass over I may be allowed to follow in the wake. They say give us our bounty or we will become republicans, and as we have no bounty to get you condemn us, because we say give us the promised recognition or we will not serve the party. A paper as liberal as The Star ought not to take such a position. It is not fair to always impugn our mo- tives when we demand our rights. When you people demand home rule I believe you ought to have it, because it was promised to you in the party’s platform, therefore why can’t you be just as liberal as we are. Give Mr. Taylor a good office in Kansas and take for the District the recorder’s office would be all right, but we are afraid if you put Taylor out of the one you would not give him the other, and we want Mr. Taylor to have an office. We believe in the doctrine of the demo- cratic party just as you white men do—no pay, no work—you are educating us fast all along these lines. We have studied the sitvation fully and understand {ft in all of its details. To assume the position you would have us,then let it be general, abolish the Constitution, establish an absolute mon- SEOGOFOOSOSEOESOEOOOSESEECO If You Are Suffering from any irritating, disfiguring humor or eruption, such as Pimples, Biotches, Blackheads, Ring Worm, Tetter, Eczema, Salt Rheum, Prickly Heat or Itching Piles, you can be speedily and per- manently” cured by using Foster’s German Army and Navy Cure.

Mr, Dickson Will Not Serve —Other Business Transacted. Mr. William Dickson has written a letter to the Interstate Democratic Association of this city declining to serve upon a com- mittee to which he was appointed, because he no longer has any “heart” in the work of the democracy. At a meeting of the association Saturday night it was reported that satisfactory rates had been secured from the railroads for the transportation of voters from this city to their homes in No- vember,and fifteen new members were elect- ed. E. W. Crutchfield, Leroy Sauls and W. H. Pickelheimer were elccted a board of trustees, and Mr. J. Fred. Kelley mude a member of the committee on finance and administration.

The parties were witnesses before the Senate investigating committee in the matter of the alleged sugar bribery cases, and are said to have refused to answer certain inquiries pro- pounded to them by the committee. As stated in The Star several days ago, wit- nesses in the matter have been examined recently by the grand jury, and it is under- stood that indictments against the above ni — _—- have been determined upon by the grand jury. The expected indictments, it is said, will not materially differ from those returned in Jvie and July against Correspondents John 8. Shriver and E. Jay Edwards, and Brokers John W. Macartney and E.
