EX-JUSTICE STRONG'S DEATH Passing Away of the Venerable Jurist at Lake Minnewaska. Funeral Services to Be Held at Read- ing, Pa., Probably Tomorrow— Sketch of His Life. — Ex-Associate Justice William Strong of the United States Supreme Court died at Lake Minnewaska, N. Y., yesterday after- noon. His death had been expected for sev- eral days. The remains of ex-Justice Strong will be removed on a special car on the West Shore and Pennsylvania railroads to Reading, Pa. The funeral will take place at Reading probably tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. Ex-Justice Strong was taken to Lake Min- newaska several weeks ago suffering from @ catarrhal affection of long standing. His system was also greatly weakened by a fall down a flight of stairs at his home in Washington about two months ago. Since his arrival Judge Strong had lain in a semi- ccmatose state, from which he rallied only at intervais. Sunday he had a stroke of peralysis which affected the left side. He also suffered a recurrence of the catarrbal fever, and again became unconscious until death ensued yesterday afternoon. He was about eighty-seven years of age. Sketch of His Life. Eighty-seven years ago William Strong was born in Somers, Conn. He was the eldest of eleven children of Rev. William L. Strong and graduated at Yale in 1828. While pursuing the study of law he taught school, and at one time was in charge of a school in Burlington, N. J. He finished his legal studies by a six months’ course in Yale law school, and wis admitted to the bar of Pennsylvania in 1832, rettling at Reading, Pa. His determination to make a success in his profession was early nani- fested, but as good an example as any may be cited when it is stated that he mastered the German language, which was then much spoken in that region. He 30on at- tained high rank as a lawyer, and in 1846 he became a candidate for Congress and was twice elected on the democratic ticket, serving from 1847 to 1851. He declined a third nomination, and retired from active polities. He was elected in 1857 a justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, and eerved in that position eleven years. Uis opinions, as published in the state reports, exhibit great care .n preparation, clearness of statement, precision and vigor of style and accurate knowledge. In 1868 he resigned his seat on the bench and op2ned an office in Philadelphia, at once obtaining a large and lucrative practice. Justice of the Supreme Court. In February, 1870, he was appointed a jus- tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and served until December, 1880, when he retired. He continued to reside in this city. He was a member of the electoral commission in 1877, and in his opinions contended that Congress has no power to canvass a state election for presi- dential electors. He rendered eminent ser- vice during his term on the bench, and his knowledge of law, keen discrimination and sound judgment made him an invaluable as- sociate in consultation. Justice Strong was probably the most prominent layman in the Presbyterian Church. For years he has been president of the American Tract Society and of the American Sunday School Union. He was the originator of the movement which led to the organization of the Church of the Covenant, and the erection of the handsome edifice. In addition to the time and labor which he gave to the church, he was the largest single subseriber to the fund raised for the erection of the church building, and has since that time been a liberal con- tributor to the church. He was the senior elder of the Church of the Covenant and a member of the board of trustees. Justice Strong delivered many public addresses and lectures, and frequent- ly contributed to magazines and reviews. He delivered a course of lectures to the pro- fessors and students of the Union Theo- logical Seminary of New York, and for sev- eral years he was a lecturer in the law department of the Columbian University. In 1867 he received the degree of LL. D. from Lafayette College, and in 1870 Prince- ton and Yale conferred upon him the same honor. ——— READY FOR ATLANTA.

A Suit Entered to Enjoin the Transfer ‘of an Interest. A petition for an injunction was filed late yesterday afternoon by James E. Dexter against Joseph P. Germuiller, asking the transfer of an interest. In his bill Mr. Dexter states that Nathaniel Paige was, pricr to May 18, 1892, attorney for Antonio Maximo Mora, who i3 now trying to re- cover more than one and a half million dollars from the Spanish government for injuries received to himself and his prop- erty at the hands of Spanish soldiers in Cuba. It was understood that Paige Is to receive forty per cent of the amount that may be recovered from Spain. It is further set forth that some time before May 18, 1892, Dexter received an assignment of a portion of Paige’s prospec- tive interest in the claim. The former, it is claimed, transferred $2,000 of his own prospective interest to Germuilier for $400. To secure payment a promissory note wus given, and in default of settlement, so it is alleged, Germuiiler agreed to retransfer his Interest to Dexter. Mr. Dexter declaras the note referred to has not been paid, and therefore he brings suit to restrain Ger- muiller from transferring the interest in the claim described, and that the transfer already made to him be vacated. —_—— AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.

The Gien Echo cars get their propelling current new from the Georgetown and Tenley- town road. Preparatory to the operation of the first-named line, the machinery at the house is being overhauled and im- proved. It has lain inoperative for several menths. Badly Cut in an Affray. Jerry Jones, colored, and Leroy Nelce, white, got into an altercaticn last night on M street. The latter had his face badly cut with a knife or razor. When he disen- tangled himself from the encounter, three or four bloody stripes showed up plainly. One started on the hair line of his forehead and sweeps down his nose. Then there are cross gashes. None is serious, though all are distiguring. Jones was arrested by Officers Passeno and Seymour. Sympathy With Young Cotter’s Family The tragic death of young Thomas Cotter has brought a multitude of letters of con- dotence to the parents frem sympathizers in all parts of the District. Mr. Cotter is much affected by the people's kindness. Mrs. Cotter is lying at death’s door with cancer of the stomach, and her condition has been such that it has not been thought wise to inform her of her son’s death. There is little hope of Mrs. Cotter’s re- covery. The Knights Templar. In order that the Georgetown Knights Templar may make a creditable appear- ance in the street parade in Boston on the zith instant, Eminent Commander Vinson has ordered nightly drills until the 24th. Commander Vinson is now conducting the drills, Lieut. J. M.

AMONG THE WORKINGMEN Business Transacted (fly Various. Bodies - Last Might Considering Plans: éer Labor Day— Organized Lalo? and the Ecktngton@im@ilway. The subject of thetestablishment of a labor bureau and library formed the prin- cipal matter of discussion at the meeting last night of local union, No. 190, Brother- hood of Carpenters, and the project was enthusiastically indorsed. There being some discussion as to the origin of the project, many of the members claimed that labor union, No. 190, discussed the matter long before the subject took its present shape, but, nevertheless, they wish the movement now in progress every suc- cess, and will give it all the encourage- ment in their power. They also think that it is all important that, connected with the bureau, there shall be a hall, which will serve as a headquarters for all the car- penters of the District, and connected with which there shall be a reading room, where carpenters can get general informa- tion in regard to the craft. The special committee having charge of the matter reported that the movement to get the contractors to sign an agreement to employ none but union carpenters and stairbuilders is meeting with ercouraging success, There was also considerable discussion in reference to the Labor day parade, but the question of uniform’ was [eft unde- termined and will not be settled until the next meeting. In the meantime carpenters’ council will discuss the matter, and what- ever decision they arrive at will probably be ratified by the various bodies which have representatives in that body, all of which intend to parade under their auspices and in one body. The Granite Cutters. At the meeting last night of the Granite Cutters’ Union considerable opposition was expressed to one of the men who has been selected as an ald by Chief Marshal Mc- Hugh for the Labor day parade, and a committee, composed of Messrs. William Silver, William Sinnott and John Silver, were appointed to call on Mr. McHugh and see if he cannot be induced to make’ an~ other appointment in place of the name to which objection has been made. Carpenters and Joiners. ‘The uniform to be worn in the Labor day “parade was discussed at the meeting last night of the Carpenters and Joiners, but no conclusion was reached, as it was ex~ pected that the whole matter will be sat- tsfactorily adjusted at this week's meeting of the Carpenters’ Council. Labor Day. Every member of the Bakers’ and Driv- ers’ Assembly must turn out In the Labor day parade or be subject to a fine of $3. That was the conclusion reached at last night's meeting of the organization. The assembly adopted a badge to be worn on the occasion. The executive board was directed to in- quire into a complaint that the wages of the drivers have been eut in one of the bakeries, and the board was given full power to take such action as they deemed best under all the circumetances. The journeymen plasterers at their meet- ing last night were enthusiastic over the prospects for the suceess of the Labor day parade, and especially of the part that they shall take therein. The Eccentrte Ragineers. From the reports submitted at last night's meeting of the eccentric: engineers there is reason to believe that the propgsed ex- cursion for the benefit of the widows of the two cornice workers whe were killed some weeks ago will be # success. The project is being pushed with vigor, and it is thought that a large agumber of tickets will be sold. The Journéymea ‘Tailors. + An open meeting of the tailors of the District was held ‘last night at Typographi- cal Temple for the purpose of discussing various matters of interest to the craft and to advance their mutual interests gen- erally. Mr. Arthur Keep presided. A plan which looks to the substitution of the pay- ment of weekly wages for the present plece system was discussed by Messrs. T. J. Solan, John Schnelder and Abraham Robinovitch and others, and it was stated that several of the leading employing tail- ors in the city have already agreed to the plan. It is claimed that the plan, if gen- erally adopted, will prove of much benc- fit to all concerned. Fighting the Eckington Rond. ‘The following organizations at their re- spective meetings last night indorsed the action of the Federation of Labor in plac- ing the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company on the “unfair list: Bakers and drivers, which will also fine each member who rides on the cars of the obnoxious line $1, and journeymen plaster- ers, whose members will be liabie to a fine of $2.50 for riding on the cars. A Question of Music. The Plate Printers and the Plasterers’ Association are considerably exercised as to what action shall be taken by the Sec- etary of the Navy in reference to the pe- tition of the National Association of Let- ter Carriers, which was yesterday left at the Navy Department, asking that the Ma- rine Band shall be detailed to go to Phila- delphia for the purpose of playing in the Labor day parade in that city, at which time the letter carriers will also have their annual convention. Arrangements were made with the band when the idea of having a grand turn out fer Labor day in Washington this year took an energetic form, under the terms of which each of the societies named was to have the services of one section of the band. If the Secretary of the Navy com- plies with the request of the letter car- riers the plate printers and plasterers will either have to secure other music or else do without any in the parade. The whole matter as to where the band shall play on Labor day is in the hands of the Secretary of the Navy. Carringe and Wagon Makers. Twenty new members were added last night to the roll of the Carriage and Wagon Makers’ Assembly, all of whom are em- ployed at Joyce’s shop, which last week, as was then stated in The Star, became a full union establishment. There were also nine Other initiations. The assembly voted to appear in the Labor day parade in tally- hos end landaus, and ft is expected that the display will be very attractive. ‘The Carpenters’ Assembly. Last night Carpenters?’ Assembly, No. 1748, K. of L., held tts regular meeting in the hall corner 5th’ and @ streets north- west. Business of great importance was conducted, and it was midnight when the meeting adjourned. The ‘principal business discussed was the Labor day parade. This brought out @ number of other matters, and at times the discussion waxed warm. The assembly decided not to wear uni- Jorms on Labor day,-but simply use badges Of the national colors.» When the subject of music was men- nusual opportunities for money saving have always been a fea- ture of our’store. Now, these opportunities are doubled—owing to our desire to “clean out” all our pres- ent stock before taking possession of our new “annex” now going up in the rear—You want to watch us— We have placed another roo pair of trouserings in at that quick-selling price, $26 a pair, worth $4 and $5—order quick, they will go as fast as the first lot—Fit guaranteed. MERTZ AND AIERTZ, New “Era” /Tailors, 06 F Sfreet. tioned the signal was given for a warm ussion. This matter has been hanging fire for a long time. About two months ago a committee on music was appointed to make arrangements for a band on Labor day. After considerable difficulty the com- mittee made a contract with the Laurel Band of Laurel, Md. When the matter was announced considerable objection was made on the ground that the band was not composed of union men. It was argued by those who made the arrangements that as there was no union at Laurel the band was exempt from the charge. That made no difference to those who opposed the band, and it was decided by motion not to pa- rade bzhind a band that was not composed cf_union men. The proposition of the C. G. Conn Drum Corps to give its services gratis on Labor day was also rejected, as the leader was found to be employed in the navy yard and was not a union man. T. P. O'Dea was appointed marshal of the day. ——._—_ EXCURSIONS. The ninth grand tournament and full dress ball will be held at River View to- morrow, commencing at 12 noon.

Goods Covered by a Deed of Trust Can Be Seized Under Attachment. A legal question that has been in doubt for many years was decided this morning by Judge Cole, when he rendered his de- cision in the case of Thomas T. Keane against William M. Gilson, proprietor of the Hamilton House. The point in dispute was whether or not chattel property cov- ered by a deed. of trust can be seized under a writ of attachment. The court ruled that such may be seized under a writ of at- tachment or under a writ of execution. In the case ‘referred to Keane attached the furniture in the Hamilton House to se- cure a debt. The goods, however, were covered by a deed of trust, and other cred- itors of Gilson claimed that therefore the attachment of Keane could not operate. Hence the suit was brought, with the re- sult stated. —— A Commission Merchunt Arrested. Lest evening Detectives Carter and Gal- laker arrested a young man named John F. Larcomb for alleged violations of the act regulating ccramission merchants, and he gave bond in the sum of $400 for his appearance on Saturday. The arrest was made on ccmplaint of Mrs. Flizabeth Hatch of Anne Arundel county, Md., who charges that she shipped him $15 worth of fruit and he failed to make returns therefor. Lar- ecmb rented desk room at 921 Louisiana avenue and had the use of the sidewalk. There it was that he did business. John F. Hatch ard Richard Baldwin of the same county, as well as J. B. Mullen of King George county, Va., have also made complaints against the alleged bogus com- mission merchant. SS Marriage Licenses. Marriage lcenses have been issued to the following: Charles W.
