 Death or MT. John HI. Rowarth.
 John H. Howarth, we'll known in this city for many years as a shoe dealer on Chapel street, died at his residence, 4 Fair street, early yesterday morning of apoplexy. The late MT. Howarth was seventy-four years and seven months old, and forty-three years of his life were spent in the shoe busi- ness, the last thirty of which he kept the store at 765 Chapel street. The building he bought years ago. He was one of six sons of Thomas Howarth, who did a shoe business on State street, and MT. Howarth learned the trade and business of his father.
 Mir. Howarth was @ very rapid workman and few if any excelled him. His fame went abroad among shoe dealers and several times men accounted very rapid in their work were pitted against him, but failed in the compe- tition After working beside him couple of days they gave up the contest. MT. How arth in his early business life set up shoe store in Macon, Ga., with his brother, the late Thomas Howarth. Here they remained for some time, but were burned out and lost everything They then returned to the North and soon afterward Mr. Howarth gagged in business here He was incorrectly stated in an afternoon paper as Democrat. He was one of the old original abolitionlsts and an acquaintance and admirer of General Hawley, whom he had as guest at dinner at his residence many years ago. He also interested himself to promote the circulation of General Hawley's abolition organ of years ago, and called upon the general when his regiment was about to leave this city for the war.
 MT. Howarth was born at the corner of College and Crown streets, where the house of the late s. I. Baldwin now stands. He married Miss Ann Milner, of Halifax, Eng, who survives him, as do five children as fol lows: E. R., J. H., jr., and Arthur M. How arth and Mrs. Isaac Bishop, of this city, and Mrs. s. Isadore Bradley, of Washington, D: c. He leaves also brother, Alfred How arth, of North Haven. A brother of the deceased, the late Thomas Howarth of this city, died last April. The deceased during the past eight years has had several shocks of apoplexy and the last occurred Sunday evening, from the effects of which he died. Five of MT. Howarth's brothers also died of apoplexy. The funeral will be held tomorrow from the residence. The inter ment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
