EXACT HOUR OF QUEEN VICTORlA'S DEATH
Demise Occurred $50 p m. Greenwich Time CASA
St Paul Time) Jan. 22-Staements in Certain Papers
Making Time of Queens Death Earlier Than That
Were Untrue

NEW YORK, Feb. An response to
certain inquiries as to the facts con-
corning the reports of the queens death
received in this country on Jan. %, and
the claim that the Associated Press re-
ports were not the earliest authentic
ones, the following statement is made:
'The queens death occurred at 60
Greenwich time, which was i:34 Eastern
time, 1874 Central standard time, 1884
mountain standard time, and the first
bulletin was sent from the death cham
ber a GAS p. m, Greenwich time Q:49 p.
m, New York time). The Associated
Press report was received in New York
at 80 Eastern standard time. 1t Is
quite true that report was sent out and
published in several cities of the coun-
try an hour earlier than this, and to JUS
tify this premature announcement the
claim has been made that the queen real
ly died from one to two hours ear ier
than the moment fixed by the offic al
report. An extensive investigation has
been made and develops the fact that all
the claims that the queen died at any
other than that officially named is an
impudent falsehood.

SUICIDE AT SALTWATER
WIFE OF a PROMINENT MERCHANT
HANGS HERSELF

SALTWATER, Mimi, Feb 4.-(Spe-
clal.)-Mrs. Nathan hammers, the wife
OF one of Stillwater's prominent mer-
chants, committed suicide this fore
neon, and no responsible reason can be
assigned for the deed other than that
she must have been temporarily insane.
MIR. and Mrs. hammers, who have no
children, resided on the North hill, and
Miss Lena Beal younger sister of Mrs.
hammers, resided with them. AT about
IL o'clock Miss Beal said she would go
up stairs and do up the housework and
when she returned to the lower part of
the house she missed MIS- Lamme. S.
Her first thought was that she had gone
to one of the neighbors on an errand
but when she failed to return Miss Beal
began an investigation and found that
the woodshed door was closed and fas-
tened on the inside. This was some
thing out of the ordinary and she noti-
fled some of the neighbors who, with
the aid of an ak broke open the door
and found Mrs. hammers hanging from
one of the rafters, having tied clothes
line around the rafter with the other end
of the line around her neck. Coroner
Freligh was notified and examined the
body and said that she had probably
been dead a couple of hours. About
three weeks ago Mrs. hammers suffered
stroke of paralysis and was i'll few
days, but apparently recovered, and at
the breakfast table yesterday morning
said that she had passed good night
and that she felt unusually well. She
discussed a number of domestic matters
with her husband, but in no manner be-
trayed that she contemplated suicide or
any other rash act. It is believed that
she was seized with a sudden fit of in
sanity yesterday morning and immedi-
ately proceeded to the woodshed and took
her life. Deceased had resided in Still
water since her early childhood and was
f0rty-five years of age She was a sis
ter of Mrs. Emil Kruger and Of Mrs.
l.. Bergeron. Arrangements for the fu-
neral have not yet been completed.

arrive, when Repr resentative Dalzell Of
Pennsylvania, called the assemblage to
order He stated briefly the action of con-
gress in providing for the ceremonies and
the selection of Chief Justice Fuller as
presiding officer The chief justice, in his
judicial robes, was escorted to the chair
by Representatives Grosvenor, of Ohio
and Richardson, of Tennessee. Rev, DR..

j. a great-grandson of John Marshall,
invoked the divine blessing. The chief
Justice, in introducing Hon. Wayne Mac
Veagh, who was to deliver the oration
paid ar eloquent tribiIte to the great Wo- k
of Marshall which evoked hearty applause
from the assemblage. The chief justice
OF the supreme court, MI. Fuller, then
addressed the assemblage.
EULOGIZED BY FULLER.
Chief Justice Fuller's address was de
voted almost entirely TO the con Adera-
ton of his predecessors career as an ex-
pounder of the federal constitution.
He referred briefly to the judicial work
of the earlier days of the nations history
and then presented the task which lay
before Marshall when he assumed the
duties of tie chief magistrate of the
land, saying:
THE court in the eleven years after its
organization, during which Jay and Rut-
ledge and Ellsworth-giants in those
days-presided over it's deliberations, had

now appear to be, their successful appi-
cation then required the highest judicial
qualities
MARSHAIlL'S LIFE WORK
Chief Justice Fuller went on to say
that the powers and duties of the various
branches of the government had not
been we'll defined and there was intense
antagonism between them which it. was
necessary for the supreme court to
reconcile. Speaking OF Marshalls part
in this service, he said impressively:

STATE RIGHTS.

''The president who took the oath of

among the essential principles of our
government the support of the state
governments in Eztheir rights, as the
most competent administration for our
domestic concerns and the surest bull

was reserved for the chief justice as

of a jurisdiction which he regarded as
indispensable to the preservation of the
Union, and consequently of the independ-

The people in establishing their future
government had assigned to the differ
