OBITUARY.-Noryille stratton, aged 18
years, died at his residence on New Jersey
avenue, between and + streets north, yes
terday, AFTER an illness of several months, of
that terrible disease, consumption. Young
Stratton served an apprenticeship to the
printing business In this office, only leaving
il when compelled to do so by the early
symptoms of the disease that has carried
him SO early 10 his grave. Quick, apt and
industrious, and wlthal manifesting such
good Judgment, he was not long in the ofiicc
before he was advanced to prominent posi-
tion beyond that usually occupied by appren-
tices, and the assistance rendered the fore
man by him was unusual. Cheerful and
obliging, he was q favorite with all In the
Office, and his early death, while most sin
cercly regretted by all who knew him, has
filled his old associates Of the REPUBLICAN
office with gloom. Few young men started
out giving more promise Of emlnence In the
biographical art than young stratton. The
appreciation In which he was held was In
dicated by the remark Of the foreman, who,
when informing the writer Of his death, said
She was the best boy that was ever about a
printing office" Hls funeral will take place
at 8 o'clock to-day, from his fathers resi-
dence, on the corner OF New Jersey avenue
and K street north, and his remains will be
followed TO the grave by as sincere mourners
as ever followed a corpse to Its final resting
place; but the sorrow will be tempered with
a joyful hope, assured by the honest, upright
life OF the deceased, that he Is not lost but
only gone before.

Mr.. Wilson, for the United States, moved

court last Saturday dlssolving the injunction
which restrained the Mcssrs, Bradley, trus-
tee, from selling the Alexandria and Wash.
ington railroad under a deed Of trust, for the
benefit Of the city Of Washington, and direct.
ing him TO go on and sell the road, and pay
the proceeds into court.
| Mr.. Wilson read letter from one Of the
heads OF departments, stating that there was
an unadjusted account between the Wash.
ington aud Alexandria Railroad Company
aud the United States, which account was
now In process Of settlement, and that tho
proposed sale would interfere with the rights
Of the United States.
The Court asked II the department was
aware that such sale had been ordered, saving
the equities Of all parties.
Mr.. Wilson said the department wa,
familiar with all the circumstances Of tn,
case.
Mr.. X. J. Brent introduced n motion on
behalf of sundry creditors, &C., 10 rcscind
the same order Of which Mr.. Wilson sought
the rescisslou. He said that to sell the road
under that deed would be 10 sacrifice II, AND
subject some Of the creditors to total losi
Of their debt. He argued the motion a
length, contendlng that as the Virginia
courts had first appointed receiver, thei
Jurisdiction had attached to this property
and to undertake to sell the property In hi
possession would be a contempt TO the Unite,
States court and the State court Of Virginia
Amer further argument by Jos. II. Bradley
