DEATH OF Hon. SAMUEL BRADY illness of
our valued fellow-citizen, Hon. Samuel Brady,
which we announced on going opress last week,
terminated on Saturday, We regret TO pen, in
| death. This announcement will be read with
| sorrow by thousands of our citizens to whom the
deceased was well known and TO whom he was
endeared by numerous ties.
| Mr. Brady was native of Delaware but re-
moved to Baltimore city at a very early age and
entered into the retail dry goods business 10
| which he was eminenty successful and which
he relinquished only for the purpose Of serving
his fellow-ctiZens in the capacity OF Mayor OF
Baltimore city. He was elected to this position
in 1889 having been defeated prior 10 that for
the legislature, upon the platform that the city
| should render assistance to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Achieving success by a small
majority and having the City Council opposed
| to him in this particular he resigned his position
before the expiration of his term. He was APP
pointed City Collector in 1885, During the ex.
citing times when Gen. jackson was taking the
deposits from the United States Bank, Mr.. Brady
was an ardent supporter of him and his scheme
in this particular. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad was always warmly supported by him
aud he ever had great confidence in thar greatest
of enterprises. It's notes were purchased by him
when al a very low figure and his judgment in
the ability of that institution to discharge its Oh
legations was afterwards thoroughly vndcated,
he having realized q considerable fortune by his
acceptance of its notes lew years after re-
signing the Mayoralty he was nominated for
Congress by the Democrats but was defeated in
the election by Hon. John Wethered the Wing
candidate. This defeat withdrew him from
political life about which time he removed from
the city to his residence in Green Spring Valley,
where he spent the remainder of bis life. His
administrative ability called him to the service
OF bis county in 1867 AS County Commissioner,
which position he adorned Tor two years.
Mr.. Brady was an extensive reader, thoroughly
informed on almost every subject, and efficient
speaker His mind was well balanced his con-
victions strong and when his conclusions We're
reached he stood by them with an iufexihle will
Mr.. Brady was of our wealinPst and most
public-splrred citizens. He wasa lite long mem
Der of the NJ E. Church and one OF its most pop
ular local preachers.
