during the early days of the war and then
came to this city.
For short time he was employed In the
Capitol, but he resigned this position ana
opened livery stable in Southeast Wash
ington. He remained in this business up
day at the stable up to several weeks
ago when his failing health compelled him
to remain at home.

survive him. His sons are Eugene b.. Will
lam H, Thomas s.. Otto c., Edwin Il. ana

exchange said that the shipment is made
profitable only by reason Of the fact that
the Bank of France. in order to attract
