      HENRY M. NEVIUS DEAD.
 Red Bank Lawyer Passes Away After
      an Apoplectic Stroke.
  Special to The New York Times.
  RED BANK, N.J., Jan. 29.--After an
illness of several months, Henry M. Nev-
ius died at his home on East Front Street
here last night at the age of 70. A few
weeks ago he collapsed in his office and
had to be taken home.  He recovered so
far that he had made arrangements to
take a trip to Washington, D.C., ten
days ago, and the night previous had a
paralytic stroke, which was the cause of
his death.
  Nevius was a lawyer and promi-
nent in the Grand Army of the Repub-
lic. He was born near Freehold, but while
still a boy went with his parents to Grand
Rapids, Mich., where later he entered the
law office in 1864 of the late Secretary
of War Russell A. Alger. At the out-
break of the civil war he enlisted in the
Lincoln Cavalry, and later served under
Gen. Custer.
  The funeral will be held from his late
residence on Tuesday at 2 o'clock. The
interment will be in the family plot in
Fair View Cemetery.
