THE r. & D. OFFICES, &C.-The purchase
of the large brownstone building at the
southwest corner of Thirteenth street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, by the
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company
has secured for that road the finest railroad
Office in the city. The company will trans
fer all the general operating offices of the
road to the new building, which will prob
ably be occupied this month.
1--WE propose to make the building our
headquarters" said Mr. F. w. Huidekoper,
the general manager of the Richmond and
Danville system of roads, land will occupy
il as soon as the architect completes his re-.
arrangement of the interior. All the gene
raj officers Of the road will have their offices
in the building, together with their clerks.
The auditor has about thrty-fve clerks in
his office; then there are the general freight
AGENT general ticket and passenger agent,
the superintendent, chief engineer and other
officers who will each require some room.
We employ about sixty clerks in the main
office, and this will leave very little room to
spare.
"It is not likely that the company will at
tempt to bring their road into Washington
at present, as it is more convenient for us
TO use the tracks Of the Pennsylvania COM
of our own / believe that our charter
gives US the right to run up Maryland ave-
nue., but am not certain that we could OBJ
tain convenient depot facilities without a
great deal Of trouble"
Continuing Mr.. Huidekoper said: The
transfer of the main Office of the road to
Washington, will make no change in the
location of the shops at Alexandria, and they
will remain as at present. Our system of
roads is extensive, and there are certain
portions of the business that have to be
done at various points. We embrace now
200 miles of road. The system commences
at Alexandria aud runs to Danville by the
Virginia Midland. At Danville the Rich
mond and Danvile, running from Rich
mond, joins in aud continues as far as At

mencing at Charlotte, terminates ut Angus

DEATH OF MR.. WILLIAM 5. HOUGH.-Mr.
VIM. S. Hough, an old and well-known cit
izen of this city, died at the residence of his
son -in-law, Mr.. +. Steiner, on north Wash
ington street, at {, o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The deceased for several years past
had been subject to epileptic fits, and of late
decided symptoms Of heart disease had also
been annoying him. In addition to these
troubles Mr.. Hough lost al eye recently
while engaged in splitting piece of wood,
and last winter was so unfortunate as to fall
upon an ice-coated pavement and break one
of his legs. He had consequently been an
invalid of late, and so helpless that when he
left the house it was generally on crutches
or in carriage. Sometime during Satur-
day night it is supposed he was taken with
another fit Of epilepsy while sitting up in
bed, and falling his head either struck
the bed or floor, thereby inllicting a slight
wound. 1t was thought, however, that he
would rally from the exhaustion, as hereto
fore, but after waiting reasonable time it
became apparent that his feeble strength
was ebbing fast under the depression of the
paroxysm, and in short time he expired.
Mr.. Hough was born in Baltimore about
seventy. four years ago, and at an early age
was apprenticed to the printing business.
Upon arriving at mans estate he worked in
Philadelphia, Richmond, Washington, Alex
andria and several other places. At one
time he published paper called the Ne'rs,
at Fairfax Court House, and aiterward
worked at his trade in Leesburg, Cnlpeper
Z. H., Upper Marlboro, Nd, and other
small towns. He resided in this city, how
ever, longer than anywhere else, and was
at various times employed in the GAZETTE
Office During the war, when smaller
paper, termed the LOCAL NEWS, was pub
lshed in the GAZETTE building, he acted as
foreman. From. 1867 to 1874 he was fore
man of the Southern Uurchman, then print
ed in this city. After severing his connec-
ton with the Southern Churchman, he estab.
lished job printing Office at the northeast
corner of Lee and Prince streets. The de.
ceased, though having endured moro than
the usual modicum of sorrow allotted to
morlals, was nevertheless of jovial dispo-
sition, and was generally liked. He was
temperate and methodical in his habits,
strictly moral, and worked at his trade till
about year ago. He leaves two children.
His funeral took place this evening.

EDS. OTTAWA FREE TRADER:- In your issue
of Oct. 8, under the head Of q" Biographical
Sketches mention is made of very prom
inent character during and for many years
after the Black Hawk war, Vetal Vermet,
a Canadian Frenchman who previous to that
time had been an Indian trader trapper and
hunter. He it was who notified my father,
Henry Brumbach, and other settlers along
the south border of Fox river timber between
Holdermans Grove and Ottawa, that the ex.
pected Indian raid on the settlers was a
certainty, thereby comforting on my father &
family the first neighborly act Of many that
were freely given in future years. For soon
after the close of the war both families set
tied on adjoining farms. with what is known
rs the Brumbach creek running between,
nine miles northeast of Ottawa, at the juno
ton Of the Newark and Holdeman Grove
roads. Here for As years good will and
neighborly kindness we're mutually given
and reciprocated. Mr.. Vermet was a
brother-in-law of George E. Walker, of the
firm of Walker & Ilickling, who did business
for many years in Ottawa. Vermet's hotel,
or tavern then in early times, was a noted
place on the Ottawa and Chicago road. The
place is now owned by John Armstrong.
Vetal Vermet died, am told, a few years
ago at Goodland, Indiana,
Henry Brumbach lived on the home of his
early choice until his death, which occurred
June "a, 1885, and his remains now rest on
the place where for fifty years he lived an
honest, quiet and industrious life He came
TO La Sale county among the pioneer set
tiers of 1929, in company with John Green,
of Dayton, and others from Ohio. Passing
through this, Iroquois, county, on their line OF
route and crossing Iroquois river at an In

remembered the event fifty years after, and
related many incidents connected therew it'll
