OBITUARY.
         General E. A. Kozlay.
 General E. A. Kozlay, for many years a well
known resident of this city, died yesterday at his home,
No. 499 Kent avenue, of Bright's disease. He was cap-
tain in the Hungarian army at one time, but
was compelled, in consequence of revolution,
to seek an asylum in this country about
thirty years ago. He studied law under General Sanford
and although a member of the bar, never practices his
profession. He was appointed to a position in the Cus-
tom House and remained there until the war broke out,
when he organized a regiment, which was placed under
his command assigned to duty in General Blenker's
brigade. Sunsequently he received an appointment in
another division, and was one of the last officers mus-
tered out of the service.
 On returning he filled an important office in the
Custom House, but owing to political differences
he resigned. He acted as surveyor and draughts-
man of the Water Board of this city under Colonel
Fowler, and of late had been identified with the Bruff
Elevated Railway. He compiled a map of the city of
Brooklyn, and also one of the City Railroad. He was a
staunch Democrat and at the time of his death was one
of the leading members of the Rankin Post, No. 10, G. A.
R. He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his
loss.
