JUSTICE MILLER DYING.
STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS ON
HIS WAY FROM THE CAPITOL

Taken Home and Given Prompt At
tention-Serious Results at First Not
Apprehended. But an Unfavorable
Turn Taken - Hardly Expected to
Live Through To-Day Manifesto
tions OF Sympathy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.--Justice Samuel
r. Miller of the supreme court of the
United States was stricken with partial
paralysis Of the left side this afternoon
about o'clock, while on his way home
from the capitol, and is now resting quietly
at his horne on Massachusetts avenue.
with no serious result anticipated by his
family. Justice Miller's mind is perfectly
clear, and he has never been for an instant
speechless since he was stricken, conversing
frequently with his wife and the attendants,
and, to observers, seems to be giving himself
little concern about his condition. He re-
cited in detail to Mrs. Miller and his son
Irving all the incidents of his visit to the
capitol and his return home, laughing and
joking with them all the while aud tellip z
them not to feel badly over his attack.
THE ATTACK.
The sjudQe was stricken near his home
John Woodford, his servant, was standing
in the door at the time and saw him fall
He Immediately ran to his assistance, and.
with the help of some bystanders, raised
the judge to his feet, and helping him into
cab soon conveyed him to his house. DR..
Cook, who lives two doors away,
was called in. aad DR.. Lincoln sent
for and administered some slight restora-
tives, and after an examination found a
partial paralysis of the left side from the
arm down. The numbness in the arm has
now disappeared, and if no further compli-
cations arise the physicians do not antici-
pate fatal result. Drs. Cook and Lincoln
were in attendance some time, and after
they left the justice called for his dinner
and etc 1t with apparent relish, after
which he slept quietly.
VISITED BY BROTHER JUSTICES.
The house was besieged with callers during
the evening, Justice Blatchford, who ar
rived from New York on the o'clock train,
being the first caller. He was soon followed
by Chief Justice Fuller and all the associate
Justices on the bench, except Justices Field
and Bradley, who are absent. Mrs. Miller and
Mrs. Irving Miller are in constant attend
ance on the judge, and numerous kilograms
have been received inquiring as to his con-
dition.
HIS CONDITION LESS FAVORABLE.
w AsHiNGTONi Oct. lO, IL T. M.-Dr.
Lincoln has just left Justice Miller. He
says the Justices condition is not nearly SO
favorable as two hours ago, and that the
case is now very serious. Theiustice is still
rational, but his mind is less bright. Some
feeling still remains in the paralyzed left
side, but he Is unable to move.
MAY DIE TO-DAY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, MIDNIGHT
tice Miller's condition is so critical that his
physicians expect that he will sink in the
morning and that he can hardly live an
other cay. He has had a hemorrhage of the
brain, and another attack would be fatal
His mind is evidently effected, though he is
still coherent in talking.
