WSA AT OF R7 Prominently Identified With Many Local Business Interests. SKETCH OF HIS CAREER Matthew G. Emery, the last mayor of the city of Washington, died at his residence ten minutes past 12 o'clock today.

Mr. Emery was taken sick the 3d of he month, but there were no serious apprehensions felt until last Monday night, when evidence of heart failure developed. and he had several sinking spells which caused his physician and his family considerable alarm. These continued until Wednesday, on which day his condition seemed tq improve, and the improvement continued up to 4 o'clock this morning. He passed an excellent day yesterday, and Matthew G.

Emery. his physician began to be hopeful. of his recovery. There was a change for the worse, however, at the hour named, the sinking spells returned and he grew gradually weaker until the end came. There were with Mr.

Emery at the time of his death his entire family, including his sonin-law, Mr. W. V. Cox, who had been telegraphed for, and who came on from Buffalo, reaching here last night. Active in Affairs.

Mr. Emery was an active man of affairs up to the time of his last illness. In addition to the management of the bank, where he spent most of his time each business day, he was president of the Washington Market Company, and up to a year or two ago was at the head of the Mutual Fire Irsurance Company. He was a director of the American Security and Trust Company and In addition to attending to these corporate interests he gave time and thought to the management of his own property. Which was large.

He was the last of the line of living ex-mayors, Colonel Berret having passed away several months ago. As a representative of a form of government that existed here for nearly threequarters of a century Mr. Emery was always pleasantly reminiscent. He stood for much that was vital in the progress of the city, and as one who had contributed to its material advancement he held a position that was not without interest to those of the younger generation. Of Sturdy Stock.

Matthew Gault Emery came from sturdy stock. The founders of the family in this country, John and Anthony Emery, emigrated from Ramsey, Harets, England, in 1637, landing at Boston, April 8. They settIed in what was called "Ould Newberrie," colony of Massachusetts. Mr. Emery was born In Pembroke, N.

over eighty-three years ago. His maternal grandfather, Matthew Gault, enlisted in the patriot army when he was nineteen years of age, and served with distinction for a period of four years. There were six of the Emery boys, and Matthew, Joseph and Samuel came south. Matthew, who was born September 28, 1818. had been prepared for college in the leading schools of his native town, and was about to be fitted for one of the learned professions when he determined to strike Out for himself.

His father was bitterly opposed to this, but the youth of eighteen years was resolute. He went to Baltimore, where he apprenticed himself to a stone cutter, in order to equip himself -to become a master mechanic. Four years later, in 1840, he secured his first government contract, whIch was to cut in the quarry and supply the stone used in the construction of the building on street between 7th and 8th streets tormerly occupied by the Post Office Diepar-tment. He removed to this city and took up his perm'anent residence here in 1842. He did much of the stone work on the extension of the Capitol building.

and cut and laid with his own hands the corner stone of the extension. He also cut, squared and laid, July 4, 1848, the corner stone of the Washington monument, and when the capatoe was placed upon it thirty-six years later he was one of- those invited to be present as guests. Organised a Military Company. In 1861 he -organized a military company and retained in his possession the commission appointing him captain, which 'was signed by A. Lincoln, President.

and Simon Cameron, Secretary of War. The company did excellent patrol service in protecting property until the arrival of the volunteer troops. He then tok charge and cared for the sick and disabled soldiers from his native state, New Hampshire, and gave to the army the use of his handsome country residence at Brightwood, which became an important signal station by reason of its high situation. Deceoaes an Aldermaan. After the war Mr.

Emery became a member of the board of aldermen of the city, and in 1870 was elected mayor. He was in that position when the territorial form of government for the District was established by Congress and the municipality abolished. When Mr. Emery entered upon his business career i 1842 he announced his intention of retiring from it when thirty years had elapsed, and in 1872 he carried this purpose out by disposing of his interest to his brother Samuel. He then devoted himself to his private business interests, 'which were of great magnitude.

Hie had been identified with progressive movements and with many financial enterprises. For a number of years he had been president of the Second National Bank, and had been able to a remarkable degree to give attention to the daily business of the bank and also to remain in close touch with other interests with which he was identified. He was one of the leading members of the Metropolitan Mf. E. Church, and, gave his time and his means to advancing various agencies of philanthropic work of the city.

He made his residence for a number of years past in the large I street house which is associated with some of the eminent men who have lived in this city. it was first occupied by John 0. Rreckinridge and afterward it was the hel of General Grant. It was then bougt and esne to General Sherman, then. after ueveral years, was purcased by Mr.

Bass Fishing Contest. Quite a spirited friendly contest has been encouraged on the waters near the Sycamore Island Fishing Club by the offer of a valuable outfit to the nember who catches the largest black bass. Most of the members of the club are ardent disciples of Isaak Walton. The island is a romantic spot of about five acres, located in the Potomac at Glen Echo Junction, and is reached from the Great Falls railroad by a substantial bridge and a rope ferry. The water hereabouts are in many places quite deep and in others filled with rocks, between which the river rt'ns with much force.

The United States fish commission have during the past several years planted thousands of young bass and other fish at this point.
