JUSTICE BLATCHFORD.
The Eminent Jurist's SuFerings
Relieved by Death,
CONSCIOUS ALMOST TO THE END.

Ehe Body WIN Probably be Taken to the
National CapItai-Torty Years on the
Judicial Bench and for EIevon Years
n Supreme Court Judge.
tice Samuel Blatchford, Of the United
States supreme court, passed quietly and
peacefully from earth at 7:20 last evening
He retained consciousness until an hour or
two before his death. There was no sudden
change in his condition, simply the grad
ual slipping away which has been taking
place for the last week. The arrangements
for the funeral are not yet completed, but
the body will probably be taken to Wash
ington for interment. For many reasons
he has been quiet visitor in the city dur
ing the summer season, residing in his
own cottage on Greenough place, and
while not greatly given to society follow
ings he was frequently entertained In the
first families.
Samuel Blatchford was born in New
York city March 8, 1890 He was the son
of Richard Milford Blatchford, a distin-
guished lawyer of his time He studied
in the public schools of the city, and was
graduated from college in the class of
1887. In '89 he became the private secre-
tary of Governor Seward, and held the po-
sition until he was admitted to the bar in
1872 He began the practice of law in New
York city, but removed three years later
to Auburn, where he became the law part
ner OF Governor Seward. In 1859 Justice
Blatchford began the publication of de-
cisions of the United States circuit court.
Two years later he returned to New York,
where he practiced law until he was ele-
waited to the federal bench.
In 1867 President johnson made him
United States district judge for the South
ern district of New York, in which posi-
tion he served with distinguished success
until 1873 In that year President Hayes
appointed him circuit judge for the Second
judicial district, and in 1882 he was again
promoted to be an associate Justice of the
United States supreme court, to succeed
e. Hunt, by President Harrison. He was
regarded as the highest authority in the
United States upon questions arising in
admiralty law.
Judge Blatchford's long experience as
| Judge of the Southern district of New
York had made him intimately familiar
with that difficult branch of the law, and
many of the most important decisions in
admiralty cases rendered by the United
States supreme court in the last twenty
| years were written by him.
Judge Blatchford in personal appearance
was notable. He had au erect and sturdy
carriage, a vigorous constitu tion, and was
| fond of open air exercise Although hi
| passed the age of retirement in 1890, he
was so vigorous both in body and mind
that he refused to surrender his life work
| He was fond of society, and entertained
| handsomely at his home in Washington.
