from the Boston Herald JAN IL
A case of self destruction occurred at the South
End on Saturday afternoon, which is at least of a
melancholy character. Richard Owens, the suicide
was of some thirty-five years OF age who fol-
lowed the avoeation of landscape painter. He ar
rived in tais city the 18th ultmo, and represented
that he from GAINESVILLE Ohio where he said he
had friends. He obtained employment at Bruces
window shade store, No. COS Washington street, at
fair remunerative price, showed himself master of
lis profession, and gave unusual satisfaction.
At that time he appeared to be in destitute circum
stances if scanty garb and empty pocket denote
destitution. But with the proceeds of his labor, he
improved in spirits and appearance, and produced
favorable impression upon his employer and his asso
ciates. Within day or two past, however, he had
manifested the appearance of one being more or less
under the influence of liquor seemed rather more
depressed than usual and talked about killing him
self. No one supposed that he would commit such
act, however, and no particular notice was taken
of his remark.
On Saturday he requested some money of his en-
ployer which the latter withheld fearing it would be
expended for liquor. In the afternoon Owens went
to Starkweathers gallery to have ikenesses of
himself TAKEN and while sitting manifested so much
uneasiDess that the artist compelled to request
him to sit quietly in order that correct picture
might be taken. Owens replied that it would be all

limited States supreme Court.

WASHINGTON Jan'y 2-In the Supreme Court Of
the United States. to-day, Justice Clifford delivered
the opinion of the Court in the case of an appeal
from the District Court of Wisconsin. in which the
Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad Company was the
lefendent. 1t appears that certain mortgaged prem
ises several times offered for sale, but not sold
and that the appellant claimed possession on the
ground that he was the highest bidder. But the Su-
preme Court holds that biddngs at auction mere
Offers and that there is no binding obligation until
the consent of both parties is given. In other words
there must be mutual understanding to definite
agreement. As the auctionecr may refuse to strike
off the property to the highest bidder so bid may
be withdrawn before the hammer falls. The Court
said that Justice has been done and all parties are
satisfied excepting the appellant and that the decree
of the District Court is affirmed. with costs.
