A STRIKE THREATENED.

The Freight Brakemen on the Dan-
 bury and NorwaIk Division Of the
 Consolidated Road Dissatfsaed.
 SOUTH NoRwALK, July 7,-Unless Super intendent Payne accedes to their demand all the freight brakemen on the Danbury and Norwslk division of the Consolidated road will strike at noon to morrow. About a month ago the men who were working in two shifts of twelve hours each and re- ceiving $15.5S as one weeks pay, were divided into three shifts, when eight hours constituted a days work and their salary reduced 10 $1025 per week. This created dissatisfaction among them and considerable grumbling at th.. new sesle has bean heard ever s.tlace. Yesterday the brakemen in secret session decided to lay their grievances before Superintendent Payne, but that gentleman, after patiently listening to what they had to say, informed them that they must wait. They asked for $l. 90 per dsy-the scale adopted on the compsny's main line, but this, 1t Is understood, was em. phaticslly refused. Another meetiu. behind closed doors Is known to have been held by the rinRlesders late last night, and 1t has leaked out that unless the company is willing to make concessions to morrow the men will stop work. All the brake. men are members Of the Brotherhood of Trainmen, and 1t Is feared that should their demands not be compiled with there may be general tie-up on every line oper sted by the company and the strikers will ee assisted by the hremen and engineers Superintendent Payne has been notified and will coms to this city from his home in Danb1ry tomorrow to see if compro | mise cannot be made. From an authentic | source 1t is learned that the men are de termined to carry their point and that nc compromise will be accepted,

- He Quietly Passed Away and was
 Conscious Until an Hour or so Be-
 fore His Death.
 NEWPORT, R. l., July 7.-Associate Jus tice Samuel Blstchford passed quietly and peacefully from earth at 7:20 o'clock this evening. He retained consciousness until an hour or two before his death. There was no sudden change, simply the gradual slipping away which has been taking place for the last week The arrangements for the funeral are not yet completed.
 For many seasons he has been quiet visitor in the city during the summer season, residing in his own cottage on Greanough place, and while not greatly given to society followings, he was ire quently entertained in the first families.
 Samuel Blatchford was born in New York city March 4, 1920. He was the son of Richard Milford Blatchford, distin- guished lawyer. He was graduated form Columbia college in 1887. In 1889 he be- came private secretary to Governor Seward, and held that position until admitted to the bar in 1S42 He began the practice of law in New York city, but removed three years later 10 Auburn, where he became the law partner of Governor Seward. In 1852 Justice Blatchford began the publication of the decisions of the United States circuit court. Two years later he returned to New York, where he prscticed law. In 1867 President Johnson made him United States district judge for the southern district of New York, in which he served with distinguished success.
 In 1878 President Hayes appointed him circuit judge for the second district and in 1882 he was promoted to be associate jus tice of the United States supreme court by President Arthur. Justice Blatchford was regarded as the highest authority in the United States upon questions arising in admiralty law.
