THE END DRAWING NEAR.
JUSTICE MILLHR's DEATH HOURLY
EXPECTED.

In a Comatose Condition Yesterday
With no Indication of Rallying.
Breathing With Dificulty-Beatiue of
the Heart the Only Sign of Lite-The
Supreme Court to Convene To-day.
Important Cases to Be Heari.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Justice Miller
was still alive at 7:3O o'clock this evening.
but still unconcious. and evidently near to
death.
TIE END NEAR.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, II: 80 P. M.-There
has been little change in Justice Miller,s
condition since carly this morning. His
physicians say that he has been dying all
day and that the end Is not far off. This
morning his respiration became shorter, his
pulse slightly increased, his lungs filed with
phlegm and he experienced great difficulty
IN breathing: Throughout the day he
has been in a oomatose condition,
with no indication of rallyinQ.
and the beat Of his heart indicating the only
sign of life to his watchers. From day ybreak
1t was evident that his condition was gradu-
ally growing worse, though slowly, every
development showing plainly the approach
of death.
COURT TO CONVENE TO-DAY.
The October term of the United States
supreme court will begin tomorrow morn
ing. The familiar form of its Oldest MEM
Der, Justice Miller, will be missing. The
session tomorrow morning will be brief. A
few preliminary motions will be received
unless the death Of Justice Miller, as is gener-
ally expected, occurs before the court con-
venes, in which case adjournmeat will be aS
once taken in respect 10 his memory.
Many cases which were argued at the last
term still remain to be decided, but no opin-
ions will be handed down In any of them
tomorrow and 1t will probably be two
weeks before the court announces any de-
cisions. The coming term of the court, it
is expected, will be q busy one.
IMPORTANT CASES TO BE HEARD.
A number of interesting cases will be
pressed for hearing. Notice has already
been given that an effort will be made TO
impeach the constitutionality of the New
York electrocution law on the ground that
1t is 'cruel and unusual punishment N
The Japanese, Jugigs, is the man In whose
behalf this point will be raised. Another
case which will attract attention will be
an appeal brought here to secure the release
of one of the Chicago anarchists, now in
prison under heavy sentence The liquor
laws OF the various states, however, will
furnish the largest number of cases of gen.
eral interest. The court will early be given
an opportunity TO reaffirm the doctrines.Iaid
down in the original package decision.
After the courts opinion in the Iowa case
three dealers were arrested for opening "orig-
fnal PACKAGE houses in Kansas They were
arrested and convicted in the state court
and the question now to be decided is as
to the legality of the order OF one of the
United States judges declaring their arrest
contrary to law. From Vermont comes
another case arising under the prohibition
statutes, and other states, it is thought, will
contribute their quota toward swelling the
list of this class of suits

and the Beast Set on Fire.
ANDERSON, IND, Oct 10.-Monday night
George Adams, Henry Schalk and Ben
Striker were out coon-hunsing in a strip of
woods adjoining the city. About IL o'clock
they encountered " hat is believed to have
been genuine wildcat or panther. 1t fol-
lowed them for half hour or more through
the woods. Every now and then the
''painter" would give an unearthly yell,
snarl and tear through the leaves. Tho
boys had a couple of lanterns, and they think
that had it not been for them they would
have been attacked.
They were badly frightened, and upon
leaving the woods tho panther made a
spring at young Schalk and caught him by
the coat tail. Striker hit the animal with
his lantern. The globe burst and the oil,
running upon the animals back, became
ignited. The panther became about as
thoroughly frightened as the boys, and
rushed bowling and screaming through the
woods, veritable ball of fire.
Several months ago a panther attacked
James Black while going in a buggy after
night from Frankfort 10 Alexandria.
The same animal has been seen by other
reputable persons.

Is only IL, lives with her father at, or
near Forrest station, on the Con-
tral railroad. Avant, while work
ing In that neighborhood recently
enlarged some photographs for old

Mayo, and 20 prepare her wedding trous-

Yesterday afternoon IL was understood by
the relations OF Miss Adair that she and
Avant had agreed to go 10 Forrest station
together this morning and ask Father
Adair's consent, who appears to have not

that Avant had this morning proposed to
his aiilanced that they marry here and go at
once to birmingham, as he was afraid

notified Of the affair by telegraph.
