WASHINGTON, March 2G.-Chief Justice
Waite, of the United States supreme
court, died at his residence in this city at
$40 o'clock this morning.
The chief justice was in his usual
health, though exhausted by mis- recent
severe labors, until Saturday night when
on returning from Senator Hearsts,
where, with his daughter, he attended a
reception, he com lsiEed of chill.
This feeling passed off during the night,
but he remained in bed through
out Sunday and until it was
time for him to go to the court on Mon
dey. Suffering then from mslise and
vague indisposition he did not read the
opinion in the telephone case, but sat
through its reading and then returned
to his home. He was wakeful Mon

symptoms Of acute bronchitis APP
peared, ccompauied by insomnia and
great restlessness. His condition Tues
day was not alarming but on Wednesday
circUmscribed pneumonia showed itsel
During Thursday night he was comfort
able, and no particular alarm was felt but
at 6 o'clock this morning failure of the
hearts action was observed, and at 6:I0

Justice Yates illness was due to
trouble Nth his liver and spleen; com
plicated by very painful stomach dis
orders. Justice Waite had a very ser
Gus fit of sickness just at the close of IT,
administration of President Arthur. He
was confined to his house for several
weeks With an attack Of erJsipelas that
threatened at one time TO have a fatal
termination. The serious character of
his illne IS at that time was not generally
known until after the crisis had been
passed, and 1t was not until he became
we'll enough to bs up and about his house
on | street that newspaper paragraphs
appeared reporting him to be in danger.
The justice was a hale man to look at,
but he had a stroke of paralysis some
years ago anG his friends were soloitous
about him on that account, fearisg a re-
currencs of the old symptoms. After his
recovery from that illness he travelled and
sought recreation by prolonged abstention
from the duties of the supreme court.
Chief Justice Waite's daughter, Miss
Mary f. Waite, aud his son, G. @. Waite,
vice president of the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton d Dayton railroad, were with him

WASHINGTON A decision has been rem
dered in the supreme court in the case of
Bowman Bros. ". the Chicago d North
western railroad company, which involves
the validity of the Iowa law forbidding
the railroad company TO bring intoxicat-
ing liquor into that state unles such CON
pauy had been furnished with certificate
from the county auditor of the county -
which the liquor is to be transported
showing that the consignee is legally an
thorizsd 10 sell it. The court holds that
the power to regulate or forbid the sale
OF a commodity after it has been brought
into the state does not carry with 1t the
right and power to prevent It's introduc-
tion by trans ortetion from another state.
The section OF the Iowa statute Of April .,
1856. which prohibits railroad companies
from bringing liquor into the state is
therefore declared 70 be invalid and the
iudgmsut of the United States circuit
court for the northern district of Illinois
is reversed, the chief justice and justices
