He Passed Away Peacefully. Surrounded
 by His Family.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-The venerable Samuel F. Miller, Justice of the United States Supreme Court, died at 10:52 last night. His family were around his bedside and 8 most affecting scene oo- cured when Dr. Cook announced that the great jurist was no more.
 He was unconscious to the last and the end was @ happy release to the mournful circle by whom death had been momentarily expected since the first attack on Friday night. The body will be taken to Iowa for interment and the arrangements for the funeral will be announced this afternoon.
 A few minutes before Mir. Miller died the phlegm in is throat gradually ao- oun1ulated and his frame QulvOred. It was evident that the end was fast ap- preaching, and the members of his household who were not in the sick room were hastily summoned to his bedside. Besides Mrs. Miller and her son Irvine, there were, present Dr. Cook, J. w. Woolworth, an old friend of Justice Miller, who hadRjust arrived from Omaha; the family servants and Chief Clerk McKenney, of the Supreme Court.
 Soon after death the face of the Jus tice, which had become somewhat drawn during the last day of his ill., ness, changed to @ perfectly natural condition, and he looked As If in a quiet sleep.
 To-day the Supreme Court met as usual at 12 o'clock, and after the kn- nounoement of the death of Associate Justice Miller by Chief Justice Fuller the court adjourned. The Justices will conRult with Mrs. Miller as to the time of the burial and the funeral arrange mSnts. r-+..:e ..sa -

STREET IMPRovEME ENTS.

A Decision of Interest To Those Who
Refuse To Lay Pavements.
The Court of Appeals has made an
important dicision on test case taken
up from this city relative to the right
of cities to enforce orders for
pavements in front of private property.
This decision is in line with the
amendment act passed by the last
Legislature giving Hopkinsvillefurther
power to enforce such orders, and
persons who have defed the city
heretofore now have no other recourse
than to conform to the law. This is
from the CoWier-JoTRal of Nov.
Is:
Appellate Jurisdiction-Stl eet i'm
provements.-Starling etc, VS.. City
of Hopkinsville.-Filed Move nber II,
1890. Appeal from Christian Court
Of Common Pleas. Opinion OF the
court by Presiding Judge Barbour,
affirming.
First-While this court has no
Jurisdiction of an appeal where the
validity Of a statute is involved, it is
not every suggestion that statute is
invalid that will deprive this court of
Jurisdiction. When question has
been repeatedly and uniformly decid-
ed it should no longer be regarded as
question.
In view of the decisions of the
Court of Appeal the power of the
Legislature to confer upon cities and
towns through their Councilmen and
Trustees the authority to have
streets and sidewalks improved at
the expense of contiguous lot owners
is not an open question.
Second-The power conferred upon
a city to grade and improve streets is
a continuing one and carries with it
the power to regrade and re-pave
after they have once been graded and
paved.
Third-Where lot owner with full
notice from the city of an intended
street improvement stands by and
without objection permits the inn
provement to be made, he will not
afterwards be heard to say that the
improvement was unnecessary and
that the Council in ordering Il to be
made acted arbitrarily and illegally.
Fourth-Even If the city had the
absolute fee simple title to the i'm
proved street, hat fact does not relieve
the lot owner from liability for the
cost of the improvement. But if the
title Of the city had been material
fact it should have been specifically
set out in order TO overcome the legal
presumption that the lot owners
own to the middle of the street. The
allegation that the city is the absolute
owner OF the improved street, and the
defendants have no reyersionary or
remote interest therein, is legal con
clusion.
