DEATH OF GEN. FRED. OGDEN.

residencein the city of New Orleans, last
Wednesday, aged ~ years. He had been
| in bad health for months and his demise
| was not unexpected either by his friends
| or himself. Gen. Ogden served with hen
or in the Confederate army, rising to thu
position of Lieut.. Colonel, and since the
!! war has been engaged in business in New
Orleans as q dealer IN bagging and ties.
He was leader in the unsuccessful at
tack made on the Metropolitan Police sta
ton ct Jackson Square in March. 1879,
commanded the Crescent City White Lea
que in the temporarily successful Demo-
cratic uprising of September IA, 1874, and
was also at the head of the military force
that aided the establishment of the Nichols
government in 1877. He was President of
the Howard Association Of New Orleans
during the yellow fever epidemic of 1873,
and prominent Democratic candidate
for Governor in the campaigns of 1879 and
1883, when Governors Witt and McEnery
respectively secured the nomination of
their party. He superintendent the work
of constructing the Worlds Exposition
buildings and supervised and audited the
expenses of the great enterprise. His con-
nection with politics ceased with the cam
paign of 1883 and since that time, excepting
the period of his Exposition services, he
devoted himself assiduonsly to his private
business.
A man of splendid bravery, unswesving
integrity and unsel6sh devotion to what be
conceived to be the interest of his State
and the city in which he lived, it is not
strange that he enjoyed the respect and es-
TEEN of his fellow citizens in an unusual
degree and thet his death should be univer-
sally deplDTed.

at that time the two kept on up the road,
Parker saying the train would oyertake
them when they could get on the cars. She
saws that when a short distance from the
city he made a violent assault on her, when
struggle ensued, but that she escaped from
him, hair received several bruises about
the head Lieut.. Smith. of the police force,

DEATHs.-We are informed of the death
at his residence in Montgomery county, Md. ;,
on the Sth inst, of DR.. James Davidson, the
brother-in.law of the Rev. H. Suter, of thi,
city. DR.. Davidson was in his fifty seventh
year, had practiced medicine for twenty
years, and more, in Montgomery county,
where he was greatly esteemed as man
and physician, and was marked by skill in
his profession and all the traits of a Christ
ian gentleman.
we have learned, since the announce
ment Of the death Of J. Howard Shackel-
ford, in Florida, that the telegram which
first announced the cause of his death was
in error. The deceased was in excellent
health, physically and intellect ually, up to
the time Of his attack, which caused death
in five days. He had eaten some oysters,
that turned out to be bad, which produced
a violent cholera morbus. The retchings in
this attack were so violent that blood yes
sal on the brain was broken, which sulIused
the brain and brought OH death. A partial
paralysis Of one side was one effect of the
ssxtack. An attack of sickness with such
~ SSse queEces is not unusual"

NAVY YARD NEws.-It is thought at the
Navy Department that the urgency appro-
priation for continuing the work ut the
Washington navy yard on the machinery
of the new cruisers will not be available be-.
fore next Monday for the re. employment of
the men who were recently discharged from
the ordinance department. The bill is now
before the Senate committee, and it is
thought will not be passed by the Senate
and approved by the President before the
last of the week Twenty employees of the
two hundred odd who were discharged have,
however, been re-employed, because of the
appropriation for the 1O-inch guns, separate
from that for the cruisers, has become avail
able. Forty-tive employees under the bu
reau of coI struction as stated yesterday
were on Saturday dismissed, because OF
lack of work caused by the decrease OF tine
money available from 81 900 to 5,OoU. I'M:
dismissal is regarded permanent, at leas
until woik ia commenced upon the ne"
cruisers, when it will doubtless be necessary
to re.employ some of those dismissed, as
good deal of the work will have to be done
at the Washington yard.
