GRAY, THE RETIRING JUSTICE.
His Resignation Not Unexpected-His
Record an Excellent One.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL
Justice Gray'S resignation was not al
togethaM unexpected. 1t was recognized.
that he would be unable to resume his
duties on the bench and the general
impression was that he would eesign
at or before the beginning of the next
term of court in October. His success
sor, 1t is said, will not take his place
on the bench until after his conhrma-
ton by the senate. This is the unwrit-
ten practice in the case of appoint
mentS to the supreme court. Justice
Gray has been at Nahant, Mass, his
summer home, for some time.
During his long career on the bench
of the supreme court Justice Gray de-
livered a number of important opin-
ions. He was remarkably exact and
deliberate, and frequently spent con-
siderable time in the preparation of
his decisions. His speciality was will
cases, although he participated in the
consideration of many of the important
issues which came before the court.
Justice Gray was with the majority of
the court in the decisions in the in
come tax cases and the insular cases.
Another important case of recent date
was that growing out of the Spanish
American war, in which Justice Gray
decided against the right Of the gov
ernment to seize certain fishing
smacEs, the property of Cubans, which
the United States authorities believed
were giving aid and assistance to the
enemy.
Judge Gray was always an ardent
Republican. like his successor in Of
flee, he was chief justice of the SUI
preme court of Massachusetts before
his appointment to the United States
supreme court.

WHERE BARTHoLIN WAS SEEN.
At His Mothers Cellar Grave and
Where Miss Mitchell Was Killed.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-An important
development in the Bartholin- Mitchell
murder mystery was made today when
it was discovered that William Barth-
olin had been surprised July 80, while
standing at the cellar grave of his
murdered mother, by a real estate
agent.
Peter Van Vlissingen, who holds a
mortgage on Mrs. Bartholin's home,
and who sent his agent to the proper
erty to appraise it the afternoon of
July 80, furnished the police with the
information about Bartholin working
on the grave of his mother. The agent
called and rang the front door bell
repeatedly. No one answered, and he
went to the rear of the house and
looked through basement window.
There he saw a man standing in one
corner looking at the floor, apparently
absorbed in thought.
Suddenly the man in the basement
looked up and saw the agent peering
in. A moment later Bartholin came to
the rear door and asked the agent
what he wanted. The latter replied
that he wanted to see Mrs. Bartholin.
Bartholin told the agent that his
mother was in Milwaukee, and would
not return for several days. Shortly
after this conversation he was seen
to leave the house, and the same even
ing he called at Minnie MitchelPs
home. The couple left together, and
the girl did not return
{ Inspector Hunt. when shown the To-
ledo Interview with e. o. Hunter, said
that Oscar Thompson, former lodger
in the house and who is now under ar
rest, denied having told Hunter that
William had left the city to be mar
ried. The Inspector further stated
that Hunter will be brought to this
city, together with Milton Edwards.
who is now in Denver.
Late developments today indicate
that Bartholin may have made a care
full survey of the field where Minnie
MitchelPs body and clothing were
lice that on Wednesday, July 80, he
met William Bartholin at Seventy
fourth and State streets, within a few
feet of the spot where the dead body
of the young mans fiancee was found.
Waldrop talked with Bartholin, whom
he knew personally. The last he saw
of him was when he boarded a north
bound State street car. 1t is supposed
that the murder Of Minnie Mitchell
took place the same night. BartholinS
presence at the field where the body
was found later gives color to the
theory that the murder was planned
in cold blood
The police are using all their in
genIity to force Oscar Thompson, Mrs.
Bartholin's principal roomer, to give
additional information about the crime
avenue death house. They have been
working on the theory that the Mitch
ell girl may have been killed there and

catchy advertisements in the papers

ignore their home merchants, who do
not ask you to take their word but
would point you to dozens of houses

Important Tannery Deal.

One of the most extensive tannery
deals in the country has just been con-
sumated between w. F. Mosser & Co.,
Westover, Pa, L. w. Gleason & Sons,
Canton, Gleasonton, Driftwood and
Medix Run, Pa, and VIM. Irwin &

to be known as w. F. Mosser & Co.,
have secured the bark on an immense
track of land near Redwood, W. Va,
sufficient to conduct tannery of 1900
sides per day for term of twenty five
years, giving employment to 200 men.
The firm left yesterday morning for
the new field of operations and COM
mence at once upon the erection of the
plant, which will be of large capacity
-1200 to 1900 sides per day of what is
known as red leather. The location is
said to be one of the best in that state,
being situated along the Baltimore &
Ohio r. R., in the heart of the extern

Company at this place, in addition to
several years at other important points,
as an expert tanner, has been offered
the position Of Superintendent of this
new industry and has accepted the
place which is one Of great RESPONSE
bility. Mr.. Lawler left yesterday for
the new operations to commence work,
although it will be some time before
his family leaves here. The firm of
Mosser & Co., are fortunate in securing
the services ofsuch a competent gentle
man to manage their extensive busi-
ness. He is first-class business man,
in addition to being tanner equal to
any in the country. If the new firm
does not flourish and make money it
will not be Mr.. LAWYERS fault. Hailing
from a family of tanners from the
father down the LAWYERS have estab-
lished an enviable reputation. We
