something on one Of the limbs about forty feet

Finally II lcaped from the towering hemluck

the intention Of despatching II at short range,

U. 5. SUPREME COURT.
Important Decision In Regard TO Right
OF state 10 Tax Acknowledgment
for Late Justice Nelson.

WAsHINGT0N, December 15.-The supreme
court to-day decided the case OF the Union
Pacific railroad against DenneSton, treasurer
OF Lincoln county, Nebraska, on an appeal
from the circuit court OF that State. Judge
otreng delivered the opinion, the court hold
ing that the taxing power OF the state is an
attribute of sovereignty; that it exists indie
pendently of the constitution of the United
states, and not derived from that instrument:
and that il may be exercised to an unlimited
extent on all property, trades, business, and
Yocations existing or carried on within the
boundaries OF the State, except so far as 1t is
surrendered to the Federal government, either
expressly or by necessary Implication. The
court therefore sustains the right of the State
of Nebraska 10 tax the property OF the Union
State.
Judge Bradley read an asserting opinion,
holding that the tax was an unlawful inter-
ference with the instrumentalities created by
the national government, IN carrying out the
objects and powers conferred on IL by the
constitution. If road may be taxed, it may
be seized and sold for non payment OF taxes.
in parts and parcels, and thus the whole pur-
pose or congress, in creating the corporation
and establishing the line, may be subverted
and destroyed.
Judge Fseld concurTed in the opinion with
Bradley
Judge Hunt dissented from the opinion of
the court.
Judge Swayne gave his views in his own
way, but concurred in the conclusion reached
by majority OF the court.
The supreme court to-day adjourned with
out traDsacting the ordinary business in re-
speet TO the memory OF the late Justice Nell
son.

The death of the illustrious nat.
uralist, Agsssiz, hss been received
with universal SORROW and regret
The sad event occurred at his resi-,
dence in Cambridge, Massachusetts
near Boston, on Sunday, after short but
acute attack Of paralysis, brought about
by labor in an over-heated room. He
was in his sixty-sixth year, and had been
q resident OF the United States twenty
seven years. He was born In 1907 in
the Canton de Vsud, his father being
pastor Of the Protestant church Of st.
Imier, aud his mother the daughter OF
a prominent physician named Mayor.
He entered the gymnasium of Brienne
at the age of eleven, and at fif-
teen the college Of Lausanne, where
he passed two years, then the med
icai school Of Zurich, and thence,
after two years Of close study, passed to
the university of Heidelberg, where he
remained until 1897. He then entered
the university Of Munich, which had
inst been Teorganized, and there made
the acquaintance Of many leading men,
like DoIinger. His first work was the
elaboration of the ichithyological
part OF the report of the Bra
lillian expedition organized by the
Bavarian and Austrian governments,
which was so well done as TO secure for
him at once a place among the fore
most nsturslists of Europe. Diverted
5y these studies from his original inten-
ton to devote himself to medicine, he
begun his great work, The Natural HIS
torn OF ffhe Fresh-Udier Fishes OF Europe.
In the course of his preparation for
this monument Of his genius
he visited all the museums
of Europe, and made the acquaintance
and secured the friendship of Cuvier
and Humboldt, the latter never ceasiDg,
u4til his death, his ardent friendship for
the young Swiss. From that time on
his t,1ace among the greatest minds Of
the century was secure. In 1916 he
came to the United States in fulfill
ment of Iong-cherished design
and MISSION suggested to the king
Of Prussia by Baron Humboldt, to
make himself familiar with the natural
history and geology of this co untry.
His reception by our then leading
scientists, and the extension Of unusual
.courtesies by Professor Bache, of the
United States coast survey, decided his
future as q citizen OF the United
States. Except during the years from
1852 to 1855, when he was a resi-
dent Of Charleston, South Carolina,
IS professor of comparative anatomy II
the medical college of that city, he has
resided in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
where his time has been spent in the ar
IA ngement and classification Of his ma
tutal history collections made in his
tour7 through this country and along its
coasts, and during his well-remembered
expIoration Of the Amazon, and IN the
preparation Of vOluminOus reports now
part Of the scientific history of the coun-
trv. His nf1uence in the development Of
science in the United States has been
profound and far-reaching, and viii be
felt for years to come, perpetuated, as 1t
will be, by the large body of young men
who are now laboring in every field Of
scientific investigation with an enthusi-
asm inspired by his methods and the
neble spirit which animated him.

that on Monday night, the first instant, about

caps with yisors TOR the face, rode up TO the
house OF the widow stamPer, near Turley' old
mill, on Slate creek in this county and poured
coal-Oil on portion oflthe building, to which
they then applied a match. The woman was
aroused, and ran out OF her house, pistol m

ants. She then turned to the house and began
TO extinguish the flames While thus en-.
