A Young WOman's Suicide.
KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WAS MARRIED
TO ONE NAN AND WANTED To MARRY
ANOTHER.


TO ONE NAN AND WANTED TO MARRY
ANOTHER.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Nellie T.. Davis dressed herself in white, lay
down upon her bed in an upper room OF "A house
on West Erie street, and shot herself through
the head with revolver. She expired In
stantIy. Mrs. Davis was 20 years of age, petite,
and attractive. When 10 years of age she mar
ried L. +. Davis, a timer, now living in Boston.
A son was born to the couple, but after two
years OF married lite Mr.. and Mrs. Davis quar-
relied, and a breach ensued, which resulted in
Mrs. Davis leaving her husband. She kept the
child and removed to Chicago three years ago.
Mrs. Davis turned her education to account and
opened studio, and since has supported herself
by painting. Her son died two years ago. This
was an attlction which she has ,ielt keenly. A
year ago this month Mrs. Davis removed to
Carson, Nevada. She returned from the west
three months ago, accompanied 10y young
man named Carl Howes They were engaged
to be married. Mrs. Davis had never been di-
vorced from her husband in Boston, nor had
any steps been taken to bring about a legal
separation, and in this tact lies the probable
cause Of her suicide.

CITIZENS TRYING To INDUCE MAYOR HARRISON

To VETO THE TUNNEL ORDINANCE
CHICAGO, July 9.-Fifteen residents OF the
North Side including c. IL. Hesine, q. A. Bussa
and George Buell., attempted yesterday after.
noon to convince Mayor Harrison that he ought
TO veto the tunnel ordinance passed by tho
council Tuesday night. Nearly all the members
of the delegation We're owners OF property along
the four narrow streets in the north west portion
of the north division occupied by street car
tracks. Among other things the petition pre-.
sented says: The petitioners believe that both
the tunnel and cable ordinances were obtained
by circumvention and fraud, and for THAI
reason wholly illegal and void; that tho
provisions of the ordinance fail 10 protect thu
property-owners and city's interests I'm thu
premises, and the abutting property-holders
and the municipality are liable Ia sustain great
losses through their operation. The delegation
left far from satisfied that the mayors veto
would be forthcoming. He said, however, that
he would protect the people the best he could,
presumably by removing certain defects In the
ordinance.

OF colleges has just come to light here, r. M.

He was informed that upon the payment Of
one dollar initiation fee he would be taken into
the Delta Gamma fraternity. On the night for
the initiation he went to an abandoned college
building, paid his fee, was blindfolded and I'd
thirty students. Once inside he was at the
mercy Of his captors, and the treatment he re-
ceived was cruel Bound hand and foot, he was
rolled over q barrel. Next his clothing was re-
moved and he was placed upon q cake of ice
for a considerable length of time. He was then
tossed in q blanket. His persecutOrs then placed
him on his face and branded on his back the
fraternity emblem, after which he was set free.

Decision Of the Court I'm General Term.
JURY OF TWELVE MEN GRANTED THE PRO
TEsTANTs, AND FROM THEIR DECISION THERE
Is NO APPEAL


Today, i'm the Court i'm General Term-Judges
Hagner, James and Merrick-the motion as TO
the validity OF the action of the jury In the
demnation OF the library site-property In
squares 729, 730 and 73I-was decided; Judge
Hagner delivering the opinion the court
Every man, the court said, holds his property
subject TO the right OF eminent domain; never
theless the rights of the property -holders have
to be respected. The government had In this
case pointed out the land and the case there
lore differed from the case OF land wanted for .
highway. The Commissioners on failing To
purchase the property were directed To apply 10
the court, and il was not at all obligatory that
q Jury should be called. Congress might have
provided that the Court OF Claims should fix
the compensation, or the register and con-
troller of the Treasury, but they thought
the best thing was jury selected
from the body OF the people. This was
not a constitutional jury OF twelve men. There
were in the District several juries some of rve
and others OF seven members The power was
given to the court TO ascertain the damages I'm
the manner provided for the taking OF land for
highways. 1t is alleged that the marshal did
not follow the law, and the question was how
far these irregularities affected the proceedings
1t seemed to the court that the Irregularities
complained of did not go 10 the root OF the mat
ter and invalidate the proceedings. IL Is true
that the jurors were not sworn on the premises:
but after being sworn at the court house they
went to the premises. The premises" was 10 be
considered in its reasonable aspect A jury to
condemn the gas works could not go under the
ground; or TO condemn telegraph line under
The order of the court was 10 meet the
premises and they were ordered TO meet at the
court house and any objection the property
holders had should have been made known be-
fore. They, by silence, consented that those
should be the jurors; As to the oaths tone
good oaths certainly could not invalidate, and
were better than the many oaths In a case cited.
Ii was not strange that there should be appeals,
for there were seldom cases Of this kind In
which there were not some appeals. These par
ties waived their rights when they went to
the jury and gave evidence 10 induce
revision of the assessments. They
are dissatisfied, and what Is the courser
Section 263 provides for an appeal TO
a second jury OF twelve men to be summoned
by the marshal. Finding that some OF the
owners are dissatisfied, they would pass an
order removing the case, with directions To
summon a jury OF twelve men.
Mr.. Perry suggested that his rights should be
preserved by appeal, error, or otherwise.
APPEAL.
Judge Hagner said that there was no appeal
i'm this case.
The Court announced that Judge Merrick had
been assigned TO the District Court.
