JACKSON, MISS, Oct. 20.-The supple
mental report of the Legislative committee
relating to the state boundaries was taken
up for consideration this morning. The
second and last section thereof reads as
follows: The legislature shall have
power to consent to the creation of an
other state or territory to be formed in
whole or part ont Of such portion of this
state whenever the consent Of the congress
of the United States shall be given there
to and the legislature may solve the dis
puted boundaries between this state and
its co-terminous whenever such disputes
arise"
This is regarded by the delegates from
the BLACK" counties as an intimation that
the white counties may at some future
time make an attempt to secede from
the black" counties and leave them to
struggle alone with the race problem.

William Lauark, Il wealthy old farmer
of Lanark county, died fourteen years
ago, leaving Ss4, 900, the distribution of
which was made the occasion of a law
suit by some of the surviving members
of his family. Among the male heirs
was Stephen Holiday, a married son,
who in 1864 left his wife and two chill
dren and went sailing on the lakes in
the schooner Ada Drake, which was lost
in a heavy storm off Cleveland, and Hol-
iday's family supposed he went down
with the vessel. His widow subsequent
ly married a Toronto man named De-
rusha, and secured an order for the pay
ment of Stephens share Of his fathers
money to her and her two sons. This
was followed by an order that the money
should remain in the court.
Four years ago Mrs. Derusha, Ste
phen's wife, died, and lately Stephen re-
turned to Canada and told OF his mirac-
ulous escape from the wreck after being
washed about the lake for hours dashed
to Il spar, and of being picked up by a
propeller. after which, he went to Hondur-
as and Central America. He has been
identified by his only surviving son and
a neighbor who knew him years ago,
and Mr.. Justice Armour has made an or.
der for the payment of his share of his
fathers estate.-Toronto Globe.

A Pistol Ball Puts a Period to
His Career.
Tragic Ending of the Govern.
ment's Noted Architect.
Architect muIIe,t's Suicide.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-A. B. Null
lett. one OF the best known architects in
this city and for years supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department, shot and
killed himself this evening at his resi-
dence. he had been in POOR health for a
long time, suffering from rheumatism and
other complaints, but it is thought fnan-
cial trouble was the chief cause of Null
let's act.
DR.. p. j. Murphy, surgeon in charge
of Columbia hospital, who for many years
has been Mullett' family physician. made
a statement of the circumstances OF the
shooting substantially as follows: About
5 o'clock he called at the house to see
Mrs. Mullett. who was slightly iudisposod.
After prescribing for Mrs. Mullett the
doctor took his leave ana went to his
Office, Just across the street. He bad
been there but a short time when the son
of Mrs. Mullett came running over aud
asked him TO come to the house immedi-
ately. He hurried back in response TO
the summons and found Mullett lying
across the bed in his sleeping apartment
and partially disrobed. He was uncon-
scious and bleeding profusely.
The doctor made a hasty examinaton
snd found the blood came from a wound
about two inches above the right ear.
The DYING man gave three or four gasps
and expired within seven minutes after
the wound had been inflicted. When the
doctor first entered the room he found
Mrs. Mullett lying by the side OF the body
Of her wounded husband. weeping bitterly
with her arms thrown around his neck.
The doctor moved her gently from the
room and then gave his attention to her
husband.
Later IN the evening the coroner was
summoned aud after an examination Of
the body, gave a verdict Of death from
suicide due to melancholy.
Mr.. Mullett was Sc years old aud very
well known. He designed many OF the
public buildings that have been erected
in different cities, among them being the
New York City postofice and the i'm
posing state, war and navy department
buildings in thus city. Mr.. Mullctt had a
severe case Of grip last winter from which
he stIll suffered. For the past few months
he has been at times Respondent and
gloomy.

of the Sixteenth century. Up 70 the

The hawk that breakfasts up on a
cable OF the East river bridge near the
New York tower was a little early yes
terday morning. This made him the
more deliberate in his movements. AS
usual he had his pigeon with him, and
as usual he devoured it and picked the
bones. Several hundred people watched
this early morning meal with an inter
est born of extensive newspaper COM
ment. When he had finished he few
slowly away toward his home in Staten
Island.
This hawk is an ancient inhabitant Of
this part of the country. In the autumn
eleven years ago he was noticed day
after day lowering about the scaffold-
ing. Sometimes he would sit there in
the forenoon and breakfast on a pigeon
or some other bird. Sometimes he would
fold his wings about him and gaze
dreamily out on the harbor, oblivious Of
the noise Of bridge building beneath
him. Every fall since then the employees
of the bridge have noted his return.
When the scaffoldings fell away he Sc
lected a perch on the cables. With nat
ural taste he chose the New York end OF
lne DrluBe. ne mas HeNef oech hLlomh
to alight on the Brooklyn tower or in its
vicinity,
He is rather large for a pigeon hawk.
but often brings with him a breakfast
larger than himself. His brown plumage
is as fresh and his flight as steady as it
was eleven years ago. This year he APP
peared a week ago. He sometimes pro-
longs his stay until nearly spring. John
O'Brien, who is well known about the
docks under the bridge. has shot at him
many a time in former years, and
numerous other attempts upon his life
have been made. But nothing seems to
disturb his serenity, and his love for the
bracing air and fine scenery has over
balanced all considerations of prudence.
