WASHINGTON, November 81. = Samuel
Strong, whose claim against the District, has
become almost historic today, filed a suit
against BENZ. F. Butler for S25OOoO damages
for slander. Gen. Butler brought suit
several months ago against Strong for con-
siderable amount Of money, which he as
serted was due him as contingent counsel
fees out of the award made to Strong. The
suit developed some highly exciting features,
among which was the production of a
paper which, If genuine. would show
that Gen. Butler had agreed to accept for his
services an amount much lower than that
named in the suit. Gen. Butler denounced
this document as a forgery, and the suit for
SANDER grows out of certain alleged de-
famatory language which the General used

the CITY OF SHOES.
Lynn and tho Industry Which Has
Made Her Famous.

Lynn Is pleasantly situated on the north
ern shore of Massachusetts bay, between the
cities of Salem and Boston. 1t extends six
miles on the shore and five miles back from
the bay. The southern portion Of the city
consists of lumber wharves and dwellings,
bounded on the north by a chain of high.
rocky hills. 1t Is surrounded by an abund-
ance of water, having the Saugus river on
the west, the harbor on the south, the ocean
on the southeast, and the lakes of Lynn on
the north. From the centre of the southern
side beach OF sand extends two miles into
the ocean and forms one side OF the harbor.
The burnt city is known all over the world
as the City Of Shoes, it being the largest shoe
manufacturing town in the world, turning
out about 5000 cases of finished shoes a week.
The manufacture of ladies' shoes began at a
very early period, and that business has
since been the principal occupation of the in
habitants, and over 200 large and small shoe
manufacturing firms are located there. In
this city Is located the Thomson-Houston
electric and welding companies. one of the
largest electrical w0rks::.in New England,
and in addition to these Industries the city
has large lumber trade, the wharyes at the
southern extremity of the town being chiefly
de voted to that industry.
The last fire of any consequence that oc.
CURED In this city was in 1876, and is known
as the Market street fire.
The facts concerning the settlement and
early history of Lynn are somewhat vague;
one historian says that its settlement dates
back to 1929, and another says sit has
been said that the town records were burnt
about the year $780," but that they were in
existence long after that period is evident
from an order respecting them, on the 7th of
March, 1715, when the Inhabitants voted to
have the remnants transcribed into another
book.
The earliest record of the proceedings of
the town now In existence commences In the
year 1851, but, nevertheless, in may be truly
stated that there were but.few towns planted
in Massachusetts, before the settlement of
Lynn.
