Death Of MIR. j. G. Ada,ns-One of the Origl-
nal Letter Carriers.
The Oldest Inhabitants Association are called
upon to add another name to the list of their
honored dead. This time IL is Mr.. John George
Adams, who died carly yesterday morning, in
the SD year of his age. He was born on the
Navy Yard in 1916, that section of the city, at
the time, being very sparsely settled, as was,
IN fact, every portion of the District. When
the carrier system was first started, two per-
sons performed the service and receiving two
cents letter for every one they delivered. He
was one Of the two men designated for that
duty. The territory they were called upon to
traverse was large, and in the outset the two
carriers, pioneers of the system that has now
grown SO great and perfect, Travelled the entire
day on horseback, and at the close found them
selves from 50 cents to 81 90 better of but as
the city grew their labor increased aud the
remuneration was greater. Through dill
gence, selfdenial aud perseverance, Mr..
Adams managed to save sufficient capital
to justify bin in entering business upon Ills
own account, and some twenty years ago he
opened grocery store at the coruer Of Eighth
aud l. streets northwest.
Close attention to business, combined with
| honesty IN trade and studied effort to please
| soon brought fine custom, aud 1t WAS not long
before his venture not only proved success
but he became prosperous beyond his creates;
hopes. Later in life be retired from business
having through it obtained a competency de.
Gliding TO spend the remainder of his days in
| the quiet comforts of homo made attractive
| by a happy, harmonious family. But for 9
| man used to business customs aud habits h,
failed to find the content anticipated iu retir
| ing from trade, and subsequently re-enteret
business with his sou, j. Brad Adams, on
street northwest. He enjoyed the respect aut
confidence Of all the older citizens of the Dis
trict, and was favorite with many Of thUs
younger than himself His oblgipg disposi
tion aud sOciable manners won for him numcr
Gus friends who will regret his death and ex
tend to the family their sincere sympsthies il

Investigating Suspicious Gases.

The publications concerning yellow fever in
the District have created some excitement, and
there is evidently an inclination among citi-
zcns to cooperate with Health Officer Towns
hend so far as possible. Yesterday three
cases, which had aroused suspicion werc re-
ported to the Health Officer and investigated.
The first was the case OF Samuel Cotton, resid-
ing on Deirees street, who was said to be sick
and recently arrived from Memphis. DIR.
Townshend found that he had come from Knox
Wills and not Memphis, and he was sick with
malady very different from yellow fever.
Colonel Gilbert Meyers, who lives on Eleventh
street, and who came from Memphis about
twelve days ago, was also reported to be sus.
piciously III. DR.. Townshend's investigation
proved that he had been suffering with chills,
and that there were no alarming symptoms
whatever. The Health Officer was also called
to investigate the condition of a supposed
Memphis refugee on Twenty.second street,
but upon his arrival could find no one who
hailed from Memphis or no cause for investi.
cation.
