Mrs. Weltha A. Emmons, wife of Prof. s. P.

Emmons, of the Geological survey, and respondent In the recent insanity proceedings in the District court, was one of the passengers who arrived in New 1 ork on the North German Lloyd steamer Aller Saturday. Mrs. Emmons left this city to go to London about a month ago. Returning, she took passage on the Aller at Southampton. Her voyage appears to have been uneventful.

The only thing she did that attracted notice was to go on the bridge of the steamer despite the fact that she had been cautioned by the steward that it was against the rules. First Officer Von Hugo was on duty, and It was after midnight on the second day out' As soon as the officer saw her he told her she must not come up, and he says she quietly went back to the cabin. 1 his transgression of a known rule was about the only thing out of the way on the voyage, said Chief Steward Winter In speaking of the matter, "she took great pride In the adornment of her stateroom and often assisted the bedroom steward in the morning to attend to it. it was fixed up like a Turkish harem, with rugs of skins upon the floor and the walls ornamented In a fanciful manner. Mrs.

Emmons often talked with the passengers, but rarely at any length. Long talks made her excited. She was nervous when we came in, and said she would be sick again. Sne made no friends with the male passengers. I understood that her lawyer cabled $aso to her and a request to see her on important business." Mrs.

Emmons' name was not placed upon the passenger lists, and her intention evidently was to pass through New York without exciting any notice, as she had almost succeeded In doing twice UvIOlCt the New York Herald says, consisted of over a dozen pieces, and while it was being inspected the lady seated herself upon a trunk and serenely waited. The trunks, handbags, and parcels contained silks and costly wear. almost without end- ornaments and bric-a-brac. There were also a number of London-made bonnets of the very latest Emmons herself looked much better tnan before her departure for England. Her trip abroad had evidentlydone her good, she was atin a neat snuff-colored traveling suit, with a dolman to match.

The Venerable Lawyer Pawn Away After a Lingering of Hid Career.

Joseph H. Bradley, the venerable lawyer, died at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 1517 29th street. Mr. Bradley's death has been expected for nearly a month, but his extraordinary vitality sustained him for many days. Mr.

Bradley was born March 22d, 1803, on New York avenue, above 17th street, and was the son of Hon. Abraham Bradley, of Connecticut, who I was the First Assistant Postmaster General under the early administration from Washington down to that of Gen. Jackson, who removed him in 1829. After a preliminary education In the schools of this city, he was, at an early age, sent to Yale college, where he graduated In the class of 1821. Returning to this city, he was employed for three years, from 1821 to 1824, in the office of the clerk of the supreme Court of the United States under Mr.

Caldwell. At the same time he studied law with Mr. Caldwell, and subsequently with the late Richard S. Cox. lie was admit ted to the bar of Montgomery at Rockville, In November, 1824.

Mr. Bradley was admitted to the bar of this District In April, 1825, and on December 5th of the same year he married Miss Lucy Sherman Tuttle, of New Haven, Conn. By this marriage there were live children, but two of whom, Mr. A. Thomas Bradley and Mrs.

Rev. Dr. Williams, of Baltimore, are living, with nine grandchildren. About lour years ago, Mr. Bradley, then a venerable man, married as his second wife Miss Mary Harris, whom he defended on a charge of murder In securing her acquittal.

Mr. Bradley soon acquired rank as one of the leaders at the bar in the and for many years was employed in nearly all cases of Importance coming before the District. As a whig he was prominent before the war, and attended several National conventions of the party as a delegate from the District. He was counsel In the famous Gardiner case, in the case of John H. Surratt for conspiracy In the Lincoln assassination plot and In the celebrated Wylie-Brown case.

MR. BRADLEY AND THE SURRATT CASK. The last case at which Mr. Bradley appeared In the Criminal Court was that of John H. Surratt for the murder of President Lincoln, In the summer of 1867, nearly twenty years ago.

The hearing had been a trying one, and Mr. Bradley believed that Judge Fisher used his place and power on the bench to offer him Indignities that could not be resented In the course of the trial without peril to the cause of his client. At the close or the trial several altercations took place. Judge Fisher struck the name of Mr. Bradley from the roll of attorneys, and shortly afterwards Mr.

Bradley delivered personally in a street a note to Judge Fisher, requesting him to name a time and place lor a meeting outside of the District. The General Term thereupon took up the matter, and suspended Mr. Bradley from practice in all the courts of the District. This suspension lasted until September Mr. Jos.

H. Bradley, transacted the business of the firm In the courts as long as he lived, but at the opening of the September General Term, In 1874, Mr. Thomas J. Durant appeared, and in the name of a large number of members of the bar, and In the presence of Mr. Bradley moved that he be restored to the bar, and the motion was at once granted by the court.

THE CASE OF MART HARRIS. Mr. Bradley's second wife, as stated, was Mary Harris, whom he defended from a charge of the murder of a man named Burroughs. Miss Harris had been affianced in Chicago to the Treasury Clerk Burroughs, and he had proven false. She became Insane, and In 1805 assailed and shot him In a corridor at the Treasury.

was alone and friendless In a strange city. Mr. Bradley became her counsel and secured her acqultaL She was confined at St. Elizabeth's Asyium until cured of her mental troubles, and after Mr. Bradley was left a widower he became sincerely attached, to her and a few years ago married her.

She survives him as his widow. RESPECT TO THE LAWYER'S MEMORY. In the court in General Term, this morning, the death of Mr. Bradley was announced by Mr. A.

G. Riddle, who, remarking that nothing more was necessary than to announce the fact, made the usual motion that the court adjourn In respect to his memory. Judge Hagner appropriately responded, remarking that Mr. Bradley was the first native of Washington admitted to the bar of the District, and directed that the court adjourn. In the Criminal Court the death was announced by Mr.

W. A. cook, and Judge Hagner In granting the motion to adjourn in respect to his memory said that he first saw Mr. Bradley when the speaker was a boy pleading a criminal case here, and this room had witnessed a thousand of his triumphs. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon.

MYSTERIOUS CUTTING CASE. A Man Dangerously, Perhaps Fatally, Wounded. Saturday afternoon, in an alley between 18th and 19th and and streets northwest, Henry Williams, colored, was dangerously, and perhaps fatally, cut In the abdomen and about the body with a razor by another colored man, whose name he refused to give. Shortly after he was cut Officer Robert smith met him on the street and asked him how badly he was hurt. He denied to the officer that he was cut, and said there was no truth lu the rumor to that effect.

Later in the afternoon the officers went to Williams' house on 18th street, between and I streets, and found him In bed suffering from the effects of his wounds. He was In such a dangerous condition that the officers had him removed to the Freedman's Hospital, where his injuries were said to be of a serious nature. Tne officers stated they were informed that WUllams was present when a game of "crhp" was in operation, and that he raised the cry of "police," and grabbed the money to run, when he was badly cut with a razor by one of his companions.

SoDthrni CoapMln M)ert lnf With Colored THW ACTION OF THK MONTfiOMERT MTL1TART ORGANIZATIONS AND WHAT 18 SAID OF IT ENTRIES FOR THK DKI1J. CLOSED. The action of the two military companies of Montgomery, In withdrawing from the national drill because of the admission of colored companies to compete with the whites, and the report that other soul hern companies will withdraw for the same reason, created no little surprise among the managers of the drill. As shown by press dispatches the Montgomery Grays and the True Blues, at a meeting in that city Saturday night, unanimously resolved to withdraw from the drilL Those companies not only decided to withdraw, but sent telegrams to Atlanta and other Southern points advising other militia organizations of that section to follow their example.

WHAT RETRETART DE LEON PATS. When the report that the Montgomery companies contemplated withdrawing reached this city Saturday afternoon Managing Secretary De Leon, of the drill, was disposed to discredit it. He produced a letter from ('apt. Bibb, of the Montgomery True Blues, dated the 30th In which the latter wrote: "The colored companies euierlug will not interfere with us at alL" BIBB'S EXPLANATION. Capt.

Bibb admits writing the letter, but says, according to the late dispatches from Montgomery, that when he wrote it he had no idea that the applications of colored companies to enter the drill would be accepted, as he felt quite satisfied they could be ruled out on a technicality. He did not believe there was a colored company In the United States organized and equipped in a manner to tit It to enter the drill, lie never had any Idea of going Into the same camp with his company with the colored companies, and be believed that the rule which was lnseru-d in the circulars sent out by the managers that they reserved the right to reject all applications as intended to cover this very thing. Furthermore, he thought that If colored companies were permitted to euter they would not be placed In the same camp or entered for the competitive drills with the whiter BE WILL TALK WITH THE BAKE ON. A Stab reporter waited upon Managing Secretary De Leon at national drill headquarters this morning to ascertain what he had to say on the subject. decline to be interviewed on that subject," he said very positively.

"You are quoted as having already expressed yourself to a limited extent," replied the rejiorter. "Any reported interview with the question 1s not authentic," retorted Mr. De Leou. The reporter exhibited extracts from several papers, and after glancing at them Mr. Leon said: "Oh, that was when it was reported that the companies would withdraw.

Now that it is an accomplished lact that they have withdrawn, I prefer not to say a word until I get ready to tali, and then 1 shall talk ith me bark on." TQE ENTRIES. Under the rules adopted last Saturday was the day for closing the entries. Up to that date the entries accepted represented about 350 separate organizations, distributed as follows: Regiments. battalions, artillery companies, schooled cadets, zouaves, infantry company drill, 05; Individual drill, (about), 78; nfle practice (about), 82; bands and drum corps (about), 22. These Include three colored organizations, two colored State guard companies irom Richmond, and one home colored company of tills city.

The management was apprised, by telegraph, of several applications that had been mailed and were en route. A RIVAL INTERSTATE DRILL. A sentence In the press dispatch announcing the withdrawal of the Montgomery companies was as follows: "A movement is already in foot to have an interstate drill at Montgomery." It Is suggested In some quarters that the movement may account for the apparently sudden determination of the Montgomery companies to withdraw from the National DrllL what commissioner wweatlkt bats. Commissioner Wbeatley to a Star reporter to-day, "we received a communication from a southern gentleman, who is Interested In the National Drill, asking If colored organizations would be allowed to enter. Before we had replied to this another letter was received irom parties In the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala-, of a similar nature to the previous letter.

The committee held a meeting and discussed the question In all Its bearings, and finally decided to write the captain of the Montgomery True Blues of their decision. We wroie hiiu that we would admit all well and regularly organized colored militiamen who are members of the National Guard. In his letter, requesting that the Blues be entered for the drill, the captain stated that, so lar as he knew, the quea. tlon had never been raised by Southern militiamen, and that be, personally, had no objection. This Is all I know about It, except that the newspapers shortly after this published telegrams and letters, emanating from Mobile or Montgomery, staling that the Southern men would not go into camp or drill with colored soldiers.

But I think these did not reflect popular sentiment there, and were originated by several parties who desired to get a little notoriety out of It. Why, a gentleman In this city asked me the same question, and 1 told lilm that we had no thought ot catering to the race prejudices oi any particular section of the country when we got up the drUl, nor did we propor-e to do so. one or two companies may withdraw on this account, but I do not tnlnk it will have any effect on the majority ot entries. In response to our invitation we have already received word from three colored companies that they Intend entering. Here's a letter from Gov.

Pltzbugh Lee, of Virginia, stating that. If his duties penult, he will be present with his staff on "Governor Day," and in addition to this we have heard from nearly twenty other governors, representing the same number of States, who express their Intention of attending the drill, accompanied by their staffs. Yes. we asked Congress to appropriate $2,500 tor medals, but It went under with the deficiency bill. In hlch that Item had been Incorporated.
