health and in time TO reach the store about
So'clock. s His brother George was later and
reached there about 9:30, and found him
dead upon the floor. There wasa little g,sh
across the face. evidently received by strik-
ing against a nail-keg IN his fall! As he
was known, or at least supposed, to be a
sufferer from heart disease, there can be
little doubt that that disease brought HIM
to his end. He was forty-three years OF
age, unmarried, and was born in Scotland
but came to this city in infancy. He be-
longed to the well-kno gn Currie family
who have been long identified with the
shipping business of Richmord, and who
by their enterprise and worth have largely
contributed TO the prosperity OF the city.
The deceased was 4 gentleman OF intelli-
gence and honor. and had many friends In
this city and among ship people through
out the country. all OF whom will with
great regret hear of his death.
His funeral will take place from 81.
Johns Episcopal church at l. O'Clock to-
morrow Thursday morning.

THE CASE OF JUDGE GOODWIN.
NO Sufficient Cause for His Removal
Has Eeen Established

The House Committee for Courts OF JUS
tce yesterday reported in the case OF Judge
Goodwin. OF Portsmouth, that "the evil
dence is yoluminous and conflicting, but
we are OF the opinion that no sufficient
cause for his removal from office has been
established"
The charge of fayo. itism to his 500, a
member OF the bar, was, in the opinion Of
the committee. not sustained. Nor was that
one i'm reference to the Judge improperly
pushing his claims for the Supreme Court
before the Malone caucaus. Nor was any
thing al all found TO justify report favor
ing his removal.
so the impressions as given in this
paper OF yesterday are disposed Of, and the
committee declare that 'no sufficient cause
for his removal from Office has been estab-
lisbed."
The demeanor OF Judge Goodwin before
the committee pleased them very much.
His bearing was good and his responses
candid. The Judge said in his testimony
that he took the Office firmly resolved that
II time ever came when he should cease
to be useful In 1t that he would resign.
Il is believed that he sees now, in the
hostility OF the members OF the bar towards
him, that his usefulness must be largely i'm
paired II Is therefore expected that he
will IN q short time tender his resignation.
Some OF the committee took exception
Yesterday to the statement In this paper
that they sat with closed doors. Here is
what was meant: On the first day Of the
committees meeting, at the afternoon ses-
sion, Mr.. Barton, after the committee was
called IN order said " suDDose IN ia I'm.
derstood, gentlemen, that this evidence is
not to 90 to the press at this time." No
member dssented. The one representa-
tive Of the press then present said: "Well,
then, / will return to the stenographer
what have received from him." [of the
mornings session. Mr.. Barton said,
No; that It was not necessary. The re-
porter then took up his MS. and got up
from the table and left the room. The
were no doubt open to all
others, but II this restriction upon the |
press was ever removed they were never
informed.
