SUDDEN DEATH OF
Mr.. ROBERT FITZGERALD
Was Superintendent of Plumbing at the
patsnt Office More Than Quarter of
a Century.

Mr.. Robert Fitzgerald, superintendent
of plumbing at the Patent Office, died
suddenly at his home, 1913 F Street
northeast, yesterday morning. of hemor-
rhago,
Mr.. Fitzgerald was about sixty-three
years of age, and had superintended the
plumbing at the Patent Office for more
than quarter of g century. He had
been in failing health for several
months, although he was at no time Sc
riously i'll. His death yesterday was
entirely unexpected. as he was at work
on the previous evening and remained
at the Patent Office until after hours.
When his relatives called him for
breakfast yesterday morning he COM
planned of feeling i'll. Mrs. Margaret
Schmitt, his sister, took cup of coffee
to him, and found him sitting on his
bed as II resting. He told her to put
the beverage on table and he would
drink II in a few moments. Shortly
afterward his niece heard him gasping
for breath, and she ran to the room and
saw blood flowing from his mouth. He
asked that priest be sent for, and
his niece hurried to st. Joseph's Church.
AS she reached the door Of his room
with the priest Mr.. Fitzgerald expired.
The funeral will be held from St.
Joseph's Church, Second and C Streets
northeast, tomorrow morning. Inter-
ment will be made in the family plot at
Mount Clivet Cemetery

DELAY OF OPINION IN
MIRIAM BERGER SUIT.
United States Steel Corpora
ton the Defendant.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The full opin
ion in the suit of Miriam Berger against
the United States Steel Corporation will
not be handed down Immediately.
The formal memorandum, written BY
Justice Van Sickel, of the New jersey
court of errors, is as follows:
"The decree of the court of chancery
is reversed and the Injunction is dis.
solved. The court of errors holds that
the method adopted by the board OF di-
rectors and approved by thirds
vote of the stockholders for retaining
the preferred stock is authorized by the
corporation act OF 1895 and is a lawful
exercise of granted power. The court
further holds that the act of 1902 is
constitutional, and that the scheme for
the retirement of the stock adopted by
the defendant company is also a lawful
exercise of authority granted under the
act. l am instructed by the court to
make the above announcement because
other cases are pending in chancery in
which the same questions are liti-
gated"
In Wall Street the decision was re-
garded as having direct bearing on the
case OF ]. Aspinwall Hodge against the
corporations conversion plan.
Francis Lynde stetson, of the corpora
tion's counsel. said yesterday that the
decision disposed of several points rails
ed in the Hodge case, and that they were
the most important points he would in
sist.
Edward B. Whitney and Abraham 1.
Elkus, of counsel for Hodge. anticipat-
ing the decision handed down. prepared
a brief, in which they urged only the
points peculiar to the Hodge litigation.
The brief declares that the decision of
the court validates the act of the Legis-
lature under the authority of which the
conversion plan was voted by the d.
rectors. but the contention in the Hodge
case questions the acts of the direct
ors." The brief then continues:
Assuming for the sake Of this argu
ment that the decision on appeal in the
Berger case has established the mere
power Of the corporation to convert part
of its preferred stock into bonds. we
urge that in the attempt to execute the
project now sought to be restrained
these directors failed in essential re-
spects to fulfill their duty to their
stockholders and to comply with the
requirements Of the law"
The brief charges the directors with
legal fraud" In the matter OF the ar
rangements with ]. P. Morgan & Co. for
providing an underwriting syndicate.
which was to receive $40 0,000, 900 compen-
sation. The second charge is that the
action Of the directors in voting the con-
version was Illegal because eleven OF the
directors were interested in the under
writing syndicate.

PRETTY COED SECURES
EDUCATION AND DIVORCE
Young Woman Looked Upon as a
Widow Surprises Her Classmates at
the University of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Mrs. Amy R.
Grant has established a coed record at
the University Of Chicago. She obtained
an education and separation from her
husband at the same time. While wrest-
ling secrets from text books she was
piling up evidence against her spouse,
Arthur H. Grant. of New York, and yes
terday Judge Hancey granted her de-
cree on the ground OF desertion. That.
however, will not end her studies at
DR.. Earper's school,
II was dreadful shock to the other
co-eds and indeed to the male students
when the news was spread that "the
handsome young widow" had been freed
from the bonds Of matrimony, as it was
taken for granted that her husband was
dead
The Grants were married at Sioux
Falls. S. D., March 20, 1892, and lived
together until June l, 1900. After the
separation Mrs. Grant entered the Uni
versity Of Chicago and registered as a
special student.

MEN WHO FOUGHT WITH SIGEL
Interesting War Facts Recalled by
the Meeting between Prince
Henry and Carl Schurz.

Prince Henry's overtures to Carl
Schurz at the opera, when he invited
the former revolutionary leader to sit
by him in his box, have called attention
to the fact that Carl Schurz would not
have been able to enjoy the friendship
of Prince Henry had he not fled from
Germany over so years ago, says the
New York Times. In connection with
Mr.. Schurz the name of another promi
nent German who also had to leave his
recalled, that of Franz Sigel, who is five
years older than his compatriot and
is now living in New York city in his
seventy-eighth year.
After their part in the unsuccessful
HeckerStrube insurrection in 1S43 to
secure greater freedom for the Ger
man states both Sigel and Schurz spent
some time in France and then came
to America.
In the civil war they came together
again, when both took an honorable
part in the struggle. Schurz resigned
an appointment as minister to Spain
in order to enlist in the army, and in
1862 he had command of the Third di-
vision in the corps of Maj. Gen. Franz
Sigel, of the Army of Virginia. 1t was
this army which had the difficult task
of holding "Stonewall' Jackson at bay
and number of hot engagements
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1902-04-11

alton of the army of Virginia, which
was placed under the command of Gen.
John Pope, Sigel was given command
of the First corps. He was engaged in
the battle of Cedar Mountain.
With Gems. Banks and Mcdowell, he
took an active part in the operations
on the Rappahannock and performed
valuable services at the disastrous
second battle of Bull Run. Carl
Schurz' division held Bald mountain
against many charges of Hoods Texan
troops, in one charge nearly one
fourth of the latter's men being killed
or wounded. Finally Schurz had to re-
tire and with the remainder of Sigel's
crops effected an orderly retreat.
Soon after these stirring scenes Gen.
Sigel obtained leave of absence on
account of poor health, but in June,
1863, he returned to active service,
taking command of the reserve army
of Pennsylvania, and he organized u
corps of 10000 men to aid in repelling
Lees invasion. In February, 1864,
President Lincoln placed him in charge
of the army of West Virginia, but after
his defeat at New Market by Gen. John
C. Breckenridge he was relieved, being
succeeded by Gen. Hunter, and Sigel
was sent to the reserve division on
the Potomac. He defended Maryland
Heights in July, 1864, against the at
tacks of Gen. Jubal A. Early.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1902-04-11

were fought beginning at Cedar Creek
and ending with the second battle of
Bull Run, where Sigel commanded the
right wing and scored n decided advan-
tage over Jackson in the first days
conflict. When the union forces were
finally forced back Sigel skillfully COW
cred the retreat to Centerville.
At the outbreak of the war Sigel was
n school teacher in ST. Louis, where he
had gone from New York in 1857. He
organized in 1861 the Third regiment
of Missouri volunteers. Sigel soon
became the great rallying center for
the st. Louis Germans, whose devotion
to the union is so well brought out in
Churchill's latest novel, "rhe Crisis"
He participated in the famous affair of
Camp Jackson in st. Louis, and later
was of invaluable assistance in saving
st. Louis, and with it Missouri, to the
union cause. \ little later he and his
intrepid Germans performed such
deeds of valor at the battles of Car
thage and Wilson's Creek that the
young leaders, name became famous
throughout the north, and for n Ger
man to say he ''fit nit Sigel" was hon
or enough.
The brave Gen. Lyon met his death
at the latter battle and Sigel conduct
ed the retreat from vastly superior
force with such skill that he became
the favorite of his troops and was hon
ored with their highest confidence.
His successes in those trying days of
Missouri We're recognized by his ap-
pointment as brigadier general of vol
unteers, and after the battle of Pea
Ridge in March, 1862, he was elevated
to major generalship.
At this time many war songs and
patriotic sentiments in rhyme appeared
with the eft nit Sigel' expression for
the chief theme. One verse of these
popular illusions, describing n typical
Sigel soldier, may be interesting:
The next time saw him his knapsack was
gone,
His cap and canteen were missing.
Shell, shrapnel and grape, and the swift
rifle ball
Around him and DER him were Kissing.
How are you, my friend, and where have
you been.
And for what and for whom are you fight
ing?"
He said, as a shell from the enemy's gun
Sent his arm and his musket a"kiting:"
II fights init Sigel!"
After Sigel was made major general
he was transferred to the east and his
faithful st. Louis Germans separated
from him with the deepest sorrow and
reluctance. He was placed in COM
mand of the troops at Harper's Ferry
and followed Gen. "Stonewall" Jack
son in his retreat to Winchester and
Mid lleton. In June, 1862, after the ere
