Stricken From the Record.

Justice Gould, in Equity Court No 2, this
morning directed that the courts approval
of the supersedeas bond filed in the case of
Giovanni Morse against Pietro Lanzilli
should be vacated and the bond stricken
from the record. This action grows out of
the suit instituted by Morse for dissolu-
ton of the partnership between him and
the defendant, which was decided in favor
of the plaintiff, and from which the de-
PENDANT desired to appeal. He filed super
sedeas bond for that purpose, but is al
legged to have failed to notify the plaintiff
thereof. The plaintiff thereupon notified
the court of the failure of the defendant
to give him due notice of appeal, and by
petition moved that the courts approval of
the supersedeas bond be vacated, which ac-
ton the court consented to take.

DEATH OF EVAN LYONS.
Resident of Washington Expires Sud-
denly in Orange, N. J..

Informa ton has been received in this
city of the death of Evan Lyons of Wash
ington which occurred suddenly late yes
terday afternoon at the home Of Mr.. Thorn
as B. Harrison of Orange, N. J. Mr.. Ly-
ons was visiting at Mr.. Harrison's home,
and was found dead in his chair. The cause
OF death was said to be heart failure. MI
Lyons was sixty-five years of age, and was
to have been married this afternoon to
daughter of Mr.. Harrison.
Mr.. Lyons only surviving relative Is a
sister, Mrs. J. L. Jordan, who resides at
Brunswick, Md Up to a late hour this af-
ternoon the arrangements for the 1uneraI
had not been made, but it is thought the
body will be brought to this city and inter-
ment will be made in the family lot In Oak
Hill cemetery.
Mr. Lyons is said to be the last male
member of the Georgetown family of that
name. His antecedents were among the
early residents of the District and at one
time owned a large estate near Georgetown.
He had resided in the District nearly all his
life, and until about eight years ago he was
the proprietor of the Lyons flour mills on
Rock creek. After retiring from the milling
business Mr.. Lyons was employed until
Joyce Engraving Company He was we'll
known in the District, and among his large
circle of friends was characterized as
gentleman of the old school"
He went to Orange, N. j., about two
weeks ago as the guest of Mr.. Harrison TO
remain until after his marriage with Miss
Harrison. From friends of Mr.. Lyons in
this city it was learned that his sudden
death is the last chapter in a romance of
nearly half centurys duration. Mr.. Ly-
ons was a bachelor, and Miss Harrison,
who is fifty years of age. was his old
sweetheart. They became acquainted many
years ago when, with her family, Miss Har
rison lived in Maryland. For various rea-
sons the couple were not married, but the
attachment between the two continued
throughout the lapse of years, until finally
the matrimonial alliance was about to be
consummated, when Mr.. Lyons was strick-
en- with death the day before it was to take
place.
For several months past Mr.. Lyons re-
sided in apartments at 1919 M street north
west. No information regarding the funeral
had been received there today.

New Office Suggested by Local Labor
Organization.

The action of the Journeymen Plasterars'
Association Monday night in. indorsing the
candidacy of Frank Waters for the pro-
posed Office of inspector of plastering I'M
der the District government is an evidence
of the interest taken by the building trades
in the movement for the establishment of
the office named. The Commissioners re-
Gently granted an audience 20 two repre-
sentatives of the plasterers' union, who
presented an argument in favor of the
creation of such an office. 1t was proposed
that the Office should be connected with
the building department of the government
There are now an inspector Of buildings,
with various assistants; an inspector of
plumbing and assistants, an inspector of
elevators, inspector of boilers, etc.
The plasterers association has named
another delegation to present the matter
to thsSGficials. The plasterers assert that
the oflee is as necessary and essential to
good building as many of those at present
existing under the District government
Congressional action would be necessary.

Not Commodore Semmes.
o the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In your issue of Tuesday, under the head
ing of Our Old Navy Yard" 1 find in the
enumeration of the officers who commanded
the Washington yard this: Commanders
and Alexander Semmes, who re-
signed his command when civil war was
impending and was dismissed from the
service by President Lincoln" In behalf of
naval and other friends and his family
state that this is all wrong. The man who
l suppose is referred to was not Commodore
Semmes. Commodore Semmes was a loyal
Virginian. He was not commodore when
the war between the states began in 1851
He was a lieutenant, and assisted in spik-
Ing the guns at the Norfolk navy yard when
it's commandant was hesitating and nom
plussed. Commodore Semmes was loyal to
the end. and died In a firm belief In the
principles of the real Union.

President Hadley Of Yale Answers
Complaint Of Strikers.

University today sent a written reply to
committee of the trades council who
called on him recently to ask him to use

President Hadley says his inquiries lead
him to believe that the Importance of the
