DEATH OF A JURIST.
Hon. Charles ID. Long, of the Mfchi-
gan Supreme Court, Passes
Away.

Detroit, Mich, June 2s.-Justice of
the State Supreme Court Charles d.
Long died here Friday afternoon after
long illness.
Judge Long was well known by rea-.
son of his suit against Pension Com
missioner Lochren, which he carried
to the United States supreme court,
to compel him to restore his pension to
S72 per month. It had been reduced
on the ground that Judge Long was
not totally disabled.
lJustice Long was born at Grand Blanc.
Mich, June IA, 1871. He was about to en-
ter college when the civil war broke out,
and he enlisted private in the Eighth
Michigan infantry, In the battle of Will
mington island, Ga, April Is, 1862, hardly
eight months after his enlistment, he re-
ceived two severe wounds, both of which
rendered him an invalid for life. A shot
shattered his left arm, which had to be
amputated above the elbow. A bullet at
nearly the same time struck and pierced
his hip. This. bullet it proved impossible to
remove, and to the hour of his DEATH this
never-healing wound, which had to be
dressed every day, caused him untold suf-
fering and discomfort. He returned to his
home and studied law. In 1887 he was
elected to the supreme bench and was re-
elected in 1897 for a second term of ten
years. He was prominent IN G. A. r. cir

Mercur, Utah, Almost Totally De-
stroycd by Fire-LoSs Between
SSOO,OOO and 81 100000.

Salt Lake, Utah, June 26.-Mercur,
the great cyanide gold camp, and the
second largest mining town in Utah,

vailed. Portions of thetlower Missouri val
ley and lower lake regions continue to
suffer from excessive rains. The condi-
lons on the Pacific coast were favorable
Notwithstanding the prevalence of hot,
drying winds in Washington.
The unseasonably low temperatures have
checked the growth of corn over the north
ern portion of the corn belt, and cultivation
has been retarded by rains in portions of
the upper Ohio valley, upper lake region
and upper Missouri valley. In the lower
Missouri valley, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and the middle and southern Allan

progress. In the central gulf states early
corn has been seriously injured by drought,
and in Texas the crop is the poorest for
number of years.

vailed, but wheat has escaped injury, and
