Decision Of an important Case

Our readers will doubtless recollect
Mr.. Geo. Hindman, Of Hancock
county, West Virginia, who it is
supposed committed suicide, having
been found dead in the morning near
his residence, in 1872. Quite an i'm
portant case has just been decided in
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
in regard to his estate. The point
in the case was, under the laws Of
Pennsylvania the mother was en-
titled to the sole estate and under
the laws of West Virginia, the broth
ers and sisters. Mr.. Hindman had
about a year previously temporarily
removed from West Virginia to
Pennsylvania, and the question was,
whether lie was a citizen of Pcnnsyl-
vania or West Virginia at the time
of his death-involving the whole
law of domicile. The Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania decided in favor Of
the mother. The mother was repre-
scented by Hon. Jno. A. Campbell Of
Hancock county, West Virginia, and
D. f. Patterson, Esq, of Pittsburgh,
and the brothers by Messrs, Miller &
Braden of Washington, Pennsylva-
mia, and G. W. Caldwell and ]. R.

THE CAUSE OF DOUGLAS DEATH.
Chicago Times

Chicago Times.
A letter to the Times from Fulton, Iowa,
under date Of February /, says:
Judge Darling, of Clinton. Iowa, stated
in 9 Temperance meeting in this city, last
evening, that the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas
died raving with the delirium tremens in
Chicago.
"Your correspondent was in Chicago at
that time and never heard, either privately
or publicly, any such report. AS one of the
thousands Of admirers Of this great states
man, l would be pleased to have this scan
dalous statement (if, as l feel sure 1t is in
my own mind) corrected"
In making such a statement Judge Oar
ling, of Clinton, Iowa. gave uticrance to q
wicked, malicious and cnmitigsted false.
hood. There is no truth, nor any founda-
ton of truth. in any such statement. Mr..
Douglas died at the fremont house in this
city after an illness Of two or three weeks,
brought on, ia the opiaion Of his physicians,
by anxiety and over exertion in mis- remark
able speaking tour Immediately preceding
the election Of Mr.. Lincoln. The last
speech of his life was made in this city, to
one Of tbs largest audiences ever assembled
in Chicago, and is remembered by all who
heard it as one Of the most eloquent and
impressive public deliverances ever made.
At the anne time 1t is remembered as the
address of q man who was laboring against
great nervous exhaustion. In truth Mr..
Douglas vas worn out by the herculean
task he had performed, and when 1t was
over and the strain upon his nervous sys-
tenn removed, he broke down, Among the
physicians who attended him during his ILL.,
ness was DR.. N. S. Davis, whose temper.

whom disproof of tbs scandalous libel ut
