Thomas MoMillen, Blind Man, Ends His
Life

As many of our readers are well ac-
Quainted with the deceased, we here
with give the following from the
Times-Republican, Marshalltown, Ia,
Friday, May %:
A suffering life was ended last
night, when Thomas c. McMillen
aged about 80, committed suicide by
hanging himself with a clothesline
from grape arbor south of his home.
McMillen was blind man, and with
his wife and little daughter Lelah,
aged s, made his home with Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Fuller, corner of First and
Church streets. Mrs. McMillen has
been an invalid, and it will be remem-
bered that she underwent a delicate
operation for a tumor on January 3
last and was just recovering from the
effects of it and getting strong again.
Her mother, Mrs. Biddinger, OF Quas-
queton. Buchanan county. was very
i'll, and Mrs. McMillen departed last
Saturday for that place, intending to
bring back their little daughter, who
had been with her grandmother
during her mothers illness. When
Mrs McMillen reached Dundee. Del
aware county, she wrote to her hus-
band, telling him she would write
and tell him when she reached her
destination. No word came Mr.. Full

Ter told Mr.. McMillen that probably
his wife's mother was very low and
that she had not had time to write
II was not satisfied, however, and it
seemed to worry him. He said that
she surely ought to care enough for
him to write. Then he added: .sDo
you know, Fred, what 1 have mind
to do? l have a mind to take my own
life-" Mr.. Fuller laughed at the idea
and told him he still had something
to live for. and spoke of his wife'S
kindness to him and the love of his
little daughter. This had good eff
feet, and he cheered up, apparently
becoming himself again. He again
grew morose yesterday from the fact
that Zeno Mann, a youth living across
the creek. whom he had employed to
lead him in his travels about town,
had left him. He could not find an
other boy and he again grew despond-
ent.
Deceased was well known figure
about town, and was considered a
very nice man. He made a small liy-
ing by selling lemon extract to regu-
lar customers, and as three empty
bottles of the fiavOring were found in
the mans room it is supposed that he
drank the stuff to nerve him to his
desperate deed. Mrs. McMillen was
telegraphed for this morning, also a
brother, John, who is a wealthy stock
man living near Independence. The
deceased had been totally blind for
the past three years, the result of
treatment of a case of granu-
lated lids.

Central and Southern Pacific Must
Pay California.

Washington, March 16-Chief Jus
tice Fuller Of the United States supreme
court today handed down a decision in
the case Of the people Of California
against the Central Pacific and South
ern Pacific Railway Companies, invo1v-
ing the right of the state to tax the
franchises of these roads. The railroad
companies resisted taxation on the
grounds that their franchises We're de-
rived from the national government as
Well as from state authorities ana We're
inseparabie. The court decided against
this view, holding that railroad COM
panies owe their existence q S corpora
tions to the state and are subject to
state laws in respect to taxation. The
chief justice said the state franchises
had never been merged in the federal
franchises, and they We're as legiti-
mately subject to taxation as the road
beds of the companies. Justice Field
read dissenting opinion. He said the
position taken in the majority opinion
was absurd and untenable.
The United States supreme court to-
day reversed the decision Of Judge
Maxey Of the Texas federal court in the
case OF tOlSui ofHGlcS Ol AitAltC dSh-
ing for the extraditiOn Of certain men
claimed to be engaged in the Cara in
surrecton of 1891 and 1892. The supreme
court decision has the effect of holding
them subject to eXtfadition. Chief JUS
tice Fuller read the opinion.
The case of the United States vs.. the
state Of Texas involving the ownership
Of Greer county, was decided in the su-
preme court today in favor Of the
United States. Justice Harlan handed
down the opinion. The case involves
l.10O 600 acres.

Managua, March Il. Via Galveston,
TeX.-The city of Manaeua is in a fren-
zy of excitement and rejoicing over the
scored by the government forces today
over the LeOniSt rebels
The city Of MetaDa was taken today
by storm after two days hard fighting.
The capture was attended with terri
bic slaughter, news from the scene plac-
ing the number Of killed and wounded
as high as 1000 men. Metapa is situat ted
in the midst Of high mountains and
not very far from the frontier of Hon
duras. 1t was considered the strong
hold Of the rebels and was relied upon
by the insurgents to fall back upon
as a last resort.
The rugged character of the country
in which the town is located and its al
most Inaccessible approaches made the
assault particularly hazardous and un-
certain. The town of Mora also sue
cumbed today to Zelaya's arms, with
heavy rebel losses. The troops sup
piled by the president of Honduras to
assist President Ze!aya are doing act
i've service and are in full control down
the western coast of the Occidental de

These atrocities We're given with great
lninuteness, said to be the personal OBJ
servation of the writers Of the letters.
Senator Morgan said the letters dis
closed the existence Of bloody war,
and it was the duty Of congress to rec
ognize that kind of war as existing. The
senator said he had received postal
cards from the north bidding him to
leave the country and console with the
negro Maceo. But he could not be di-
yerted by these insults or by the attack
of some newspapers which asserted he
was seeking a war with Spain in order
TO bring about the res storation Of silver
coinage.
Senator Morgan said he believed the
president should approve the course of
congress, but if he did not congress
would have discharged its duty to the
people, and the responsibility would be
left with the president. He did no1
wish to give Spain any cause of COM
plant and he therefore favored the
mild, firm resolutions now pending.
And Yet, added he, in closing, Il have
not doubted that any action would
cause this fanat teal nation to take up
the gauge of war.
Senator Mills gave notice that he
would follow on the Cuban question to-
morrow.
At $40 y. III. the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.

Petition for II Rehenring Denied by
the Supreme Court.

Olympia, Wash, March I.-The st'-
i}ralne court has denied the petition for
a rehearing in the case of the city OF
Spokane VS.. Stevens. This case, by the
city of Spokane, is relative to the stat
ute of limitation in which action may
be brought to collect assessments Cor
street grades. The court, in its decis-
ion, held that the limitation is two
years.
(The case of the city against Stevens
is but one of hundred cases brought
two years ago to collect assessments on
street grades. The case was contested
in the superior court, the court hold
ing that the defendant was entitled To
judgment for costs, the plaintiff having
no case. since the statute Of limitation
had run before the commencement of
the action. From this decision the city
appealed. The matter OF the statute OF
limita ton on this question having been
settled in other cases Of like kind in
the supreme court, it was not expected
that the court would grant petition
for a rehearing, having once decided the
question. During the past month or six
weeks a large number Of these cases
have been dismissed al plaintiffs costs
the costs so far having run TO some
where in the neghbcrhood Of $lboo.'
