mind the opinions of that court that would
stand as monuments to his memory.
HIS knowledge was not confined to the COM
mon law. and yet within the range of the COM

such man.
Chief Justice Bingham said the announce
ment was not an ordinary one. Mr.. Justice
bradley had occupied conspicuous posi-
ton in the Supreme Court of the United
States for more than twenty years. His
opinions had always been characterized by great
learning. great research and great disoernment
and discretion. In view of his position and his
eminence it was fitting that this court should
give due recognition to the sad event. The
court would therefore be adjourned as a mark

SNAPPED APART BY ICE.
A Peculiar and Sad Accident In q Little
French Town

PARIS, Jan. PA most sad and peculiar &C
cident is reported from Dieppedalle, in the de-
partment of Seine inferieure. Near that town
is high precipice, at the foot of which are a
number OF houses. This morning. without q
moments warning, the rock at the top of the
precipice for distance of $50 yards crashed
down with laundering noise upon two build
ings used as laundrIes and another house, CON-
pletely burying them.
Twenty persons have been taken from the
debris, including two dead women.
II is thought that the breaking off Of the
mass Of rock was caused by the freezing of the
wnter that had percolated the many riffs and
creyices at the top of the precipice.

some OF the Gentlemen whose Names Are
Already Mentioned.
Gossip, not being influenced by any feeling
Of deicacy, is fixing up the slate of possibilities
for successor Of Justice Bradley on the
Supreme bench.
1t is accepted for sure that the appointment
will go to some one within the circuit repre-
sented by Justice Bradley, which comprises
Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. 1t
is thought that Pennsylvania will probably get
the place.
In this connection Chief Justice Paxton or
Judge Mitchell Of tho supreme court Of Penn
sylvania are prominently mentioned. If the
selection should be made from New Jersey the
district judge of New Jersey, whom Mr.. Harri-
son would have appointed to the circuit bench
had he not decided to appoint democrat from
that circuit.
