DEATHS SHINING MARX.
CHEF JUSTICE YATES EARTHLY
CAREER is ENDED,

A Slight Cold Develops Into Acute Pneu-
monia and Death Ensues Unexpectedly
After n Weeks nIness-Mrs. Waite In
California.
. WASHINGTON, March 23.-Morrison r.
Waite, chief justice of the supreme court
OF the United States, died very sud
denly Friday morning, from acute pnau-
monia, without a moments warning, in
the presence Of only a professional nurse.
On Saturday night the chief Justice
walked to the home of Senator Hearst,
because Of the illness of his. coachman,
and contracted what the physicians pro-
nounced a slight cold. He attended
court Monday, on account Of the decision
to he delivered in the telephone case.
He decided, however, to transfer the
duty of reading the decision to Justice
Blatchford. Exposure consequent on
this journey accentuated the cold, and on
Tuesday he accepted advice to go to bed.
Nothing serious was expected, but Miss
Waite telegraphed her brother, Mr.. G. C.
Waite, of Cincinnati, who arrived Thurs
day afternoon. Surgeon Ruth and DR..
Gardiner held u consultation, aud at mid
night the patient andfamily were assured
there was no danger. AT $50 a. m. the
nurse heard the chief Justice moan, and on
going to his bedside was informed that
he felt pretty well. The nurse retired,
and later, hearing a gasp, ran to the bed
side, and found q corpse. Mr.. Waite
and Miss Mary Waite were Immediately
summoned, but too late, their father was
dead. Mrs. Waite is in California. 1t ID
already announced that the remains will
be taken to Toledo, Ohio, for interment,
but no funeral details will be determined
upon until Mrs. Wait is heard from.
Morrison Renisch Waite was born in
Lynne, Conn, Nov. 20, 1916. He was
educated in Yale college, graduated with
.honors, and was invested with the de-
gree OF doctor of laws. After his adj
mission to the bar he moved to Ohio, and
practiced successfully In Toledo and Mau-
NEE City. He was member of the state
Legislature In 1840, and one Of the arbi-
traitors in the famous Geneva tribunal
In 1873, which settled the Alabama
claims against England. During the
same year he presided over the delibera-
lions Of the Ohio constitutional onyen
tion, and iii 1874 was appointed by Gen.

free from personal prejudice,or partisan
bias. An instance of this feeling was

CRE0SOTED BRICK AGAIN.
wEIGHTY TESTIMONIALS FROM
NAsHvILLIANs WHO HAVE SEEN 1T.
After Three Years of Service the New
Tangled Pavement Shows surpris-
ing Absence OF General VICAR and
Tear.

City Engineer Niles Meriwether is at
present deeply absorbed in the question Of
paving material, and has taken pains to
institute at investigation Of the creosoted
brick now in use at Nashville. The follow
ing documents were presented to the Leg
islative council at its meeting yesterday
afternoon:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 7, 1855.
To the Honorable Legislative Council;
AS n matter of information upon ono OF
the most interesting and vital subjects OF
the day, considered from a commercial
and sanitary standpoint, ] submit here
with three letters just received relating TO
the use OF the creosoted or bitumenized
brick as a paving material-which, in my
opinion, is greatly superior to the lire-clay
brick used in Wheeling, w. Va, and
other places east. II is much tougher,
much less iriable, and has, l think, a
greater compressive strength. II will be
seen from the letters that these gentlemen
give II their unqualified Endorsement.
But without properly prepared founda-
ton neither the brick, granite or any other
paving material can DO made TO stand
on Memphis soil, or US 10 that matter,
anywhere else that have ever heard Of.
On solid concrete foundation i am con-
fident this brick will make durable and
superior pavement-one that might DO
laid TO great advantage on certain cross
streets between the river and bayou, and
some o. the residence streets.
The heaviest traffic streets-suoh as
Front, Shelby, Main and Second, Mulber-
ny from Beale 10 Huling, and a few OF the
cross streets from Front TO Third street
should be paved with the best OF granite
on concrete foundation. and the joints
paved with paving pitch after the specifi-
cations adopted in st. Louis and Cincinnati.
Without the aid Of steam road roller,
such rs they have at Nashville, Chatta.
nooga, Atlanta and the large cities north
and east of us, we cannot hope TO have
solid and tlrst.class pavements except at
much greater cost. With a steam roller
and our concreting Tishomingo gravel rs a
foundation material 1 believe We could
equal any Of the cities named in the char
acter Of our street in the course of q few
years. Respectfully,
NILKs MERIwRrHKR,
Taxing District Engineer.
