SAM sTRoNo,s SUCCESS.
Tho Famous Cases stni in Court-A New
Trial Granted.

Among the most famous contractors of
the District OF Columbia Is Samuel Strong, man
who has probably done more work for the United
States than any man in the country During the
regime Of the Board of Public Works he was
awarded certain important contracts which, as he
alleges he pcrGoymed to the letter, including GER
tain changes In the originalcontract These changes
involved an expenditure of many thousands of
dollars, and for that amount Colonel Strong is to-
day and has been for months suior In the courts
OF the District. Some time since Justice Wyllo
rendered aiudgmcnt against Strong, but on an ap-
peal the Court In General Term yester-
day unanimously reversed the ruling of
Justice Wylio and there win be q new
trial. The case in point involves about $4,000.
Colonel Strong claims that he has now due him on
the Boundary street sewer sl3i,000 which claim is
before the Court of Claims. The Colonel's best
evidence rests In the fact that nll the work he did
for the District stands to-day monument to his
genius and during It's construction and up to the
present time no man has dared TO say that II was
not properly done, as Is testified by Engineer Cuss
Engineer Mallett, Colonel Mugruder, and every
inspector and superintendent on his work. General
B. Il. Butler aud Mr. Frank 7. Browning were the
attorneys for Mr. Strong.
