Jackson, although th death of the dis tinguished Justice waa not entirely un expected, -t The last time Judge Jackson was In Washington waa on the oeoaslon of tha rehearing in the income tax cases last May. He had been absent from the city and from the bench since, the preceding fall, when, soon after tba. convening of the October term of the court, he had been compelled to go South on account of his rapldly declining health. outing nia absence there bad been contradictory reports a to bla physical condition, but the prevailing opinion among his colleague on the bench was that be would sever again be able to resume- his seat Mr. Jackson had the reputation In this city and especially about the Supreme Court of being very sensitive concerning any di cusalonrof hia health in the public press.

and he rarely referred to the subject In his own conversation. Justice Jackson eat through the argument In the Income tax rehearing, which continued for three days, took part In tho consultation of th court. and when the day arrived tor the announcement of the decision, not only listened patiently to the opinions of the other members of the court, but deliv ered a vigorous opinion of his own In support of the validity of the law. This waa on the 30th day of May and was bis last public appearance. He returned to bla borne In Tennessee late In irfy, It waa evident to all who came In con tact with him while here that life was slowly but surely ebbing away and that the effort he made in performing bla duties in that emergency waa made at the expense of bla vitality.

As Senator and Justice of the Su- preme Court. Mr. Jackson had resided in Washington sbout eight years. His associate here were confined largely to his colleagues on th bench and In the Senate chamber. By them he waa uni versally esteemed as a man of hla-h moral worth and rich in Intellectual at tainments.

JUSTICE JACKSON'S DECUNE. MaJ. Wright Tells of the Dead Jurist's Last Day In Washington. Justice Jackson Was well known in Louisville. As United States Circuit Judge he visited Louisville tor a number of years.

He appeared oa the bench her about three year ago. The lawyers of this city looked upon him aa a clear-beaded, able Judge with a power for deep and concentrated thought. MaJ. J. M.

Wright, who la Marshal of the United State Supreme Court, Is at present In Louisville, his home. He re ceived a telegram yesterday afternoon from a trotaer of Justice Jackson, soon after the latter died. He said last night regarding Justice Jackson: "The death of Mr. Justice Jackson Is an event that might have occurred at any- tlm within th last ix months without being surprise to those -who knew his condition- At on time last winter, when he returned to Nashville from. Florida bis death waa considered only a matter- of a few hours.

He rallied from that and soon, was riding over, his country place with, apparently Increasing health and strength. He im proved so much that It was thought not unlikely he might go to Washington tn March: and. In the first hearing of th Income tax case. But th season waa too and soon he was again down almost at the door of death." He rallied, again, and finally did. go to Washington and set on the bench In the second hearing of the Incom.

tax case. Hia ability to do this waa prob ably the reason for the rehearing of those cases, for their great Importance HOWELL EDMUNDS JACKSON. and th singular division of opinion among the Judges made them extremely anxious for a final hearing before a full bench. "Those who saw and heard Mr. Justice Jackson when be sat on th benoh at Washington In May last oould not fall to recognise the' fact that he was.

a dying man. The court room was crowded almost beyond the endurance of those who wer well, and th ordinary ventilating arrangement seemed, to fail altogether to meet the emergency. Only Justice Jackson's great win power enabled him to remain tn his seat until he had given- his opinion. He was extremely exhausted at times while read-, tng his opinion, and his long pauses and rasping cough were distressing. He left the bench as soon as he had finished reading, and after a brief visit to Phlle.

delphia to consult a physician, be was Uken back, to Nashville, "Since then his disease had made steady progress, erHh occasional rallies of bis, strength. Two or three times since he was at Washington- tn May he seemed to be at the very hour of death. I was on tiie Board of Visitor to West Point, this year by appointment of the President, and remained there through the ovontii of June and a few days of July. Every on of several telegrama I received white there opened with expectation' of receiving new of Mr. Justice Jacksoa'4 death.

When I returned to Washington, expecting after a few days to come to- Kentucky for a brief vacation, I received information from Nashville that made me remain over more than day, thinking that Justice Jackson's death would occur within a few. hours; snd would await the event to be at hand when the notices had to be sent out from" the Marshal'! office to the members of the court, who wer. scattered all over the United States. "But there was another rally, I came on to Louisville, and the only information I have had until now was that Justice Jackson was no better. That was enough, for his disease was of -a character that gave assurance that when apparently no better he waa assuredly worse.

Of course, I have not been kept precisely and authoritatively Informed as to the exact condition of Mr. Justice Jackson every day. or even periodically. My. information has been simply -what the Marshal of the court could gather, and should gather, ot suoh events for official uses.

"During my esrly acquaintance with Mr. Justice Jackson he waa a hardy, robust man, whose appearance of health, atrength and activity would strike every one who saw him. He was a hard worker, and did not appear to take much care of himself. He seemed to fall frpm the moment he took his seat In the Supreme Court ot the United States. From appearances, his first trouble was a couKh.

then his throat became more seriously Involved, and soon he manifested all the other symptoms of his disease. When he waa In Washington In May last he was a spectre of what he bad been, and had the doom of death written on his face. -Mr. Justice Jackson will be buried LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 9, 1895.

on Sunday afternoon at o'clock at his hum. Belle Meade, near Nashville. I have not yet ltutmed who of his associates on the bench will attend the funeral. The death occurring on Thursday afternoon and the funeral being on Sunday afternoon, there is not much time given for long travel. Within a few hours after the event of death notice went out to all the other Judges but some of them may not be easily reached at this time, aa they are widely separated and at remote JUSTICE JACKSON'S CAREER.

A Popular Democrat Who Was S'om. Inated By a Republican President. Howell Edmunds Jckson was born at Pari. April (.1832. HI father was Dr.

Alexander Jackson, a prominent physician. Eight years later his parent removed to Tenn He wa graduated at West Tennessee College' In 1848. and afterward studied for two years at the University of Virginia. After leaving the University he read law for two years in Jackson, under his kinsmen. Judges A.

W. p. Totten and Milton Brown. In 18SS he went to the Cumberland Uoiversity, and wa graduated from the law school attached to that institution In 183C He at once began, to practice his profession aft Jack-eon. Three year later he removed to Memphis and formed a law partnership with David M.

In the winter of 1857-CS Judge Jackson was sent to New. York by the-" Mississippi Central Railroad Company to negotiate the bonds of the road; which he did satis-fadtorily. When the war broke out the entered the civil service of the Confederate Government. On returning to Memphis at the close of the war. Mr.

Jackson formed a law partnership wUh B. M. Estes, snd afterward with Mr. EUet.whent the firm name waa changed to Jackson Ellet. Judge Jackson became welt known as an sole lawyer.

His first wife died In 1873, and in April. 1874. he married Mary Elisabeth, second daughter of Gen. W. G.

Hardmg. of the fatnoua Belle Meade In 187S he returned to Jackson. On two 'occasions Judge Jackson served by appointment as-one of, the Judges of th State Supreme Court, and In 1878 was a prominent candidate befor th Tennessee Democratic Convention for the nomination or Supreme Court Judtre, coming within one vote of the nomination. He was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives from Madison county in 1880 on the "State Credit" platform, and was made a member of the Committees on the Judiciary and Privileges and Elections. January 2s, 188L.

Judge Jackson waa elected United Statea Senator for the term beginning March 4, 181. The Legislature waa very evenly divided there being ten Republicans in the Senate and thlrty-aeven in the House, fifteen Democrats la the Senate and thirty-seven in the House, and one Greenback man in the House and the contest for the Senate was a long one, lasting from January 18 to January 20. Twenty-nine Joint ballots were and Judge Jackson was not named until the laat ballot was taken. No caucus nominations were made by either party. The leading Republican candidates were Postmaster' General Horace Maynard and H.

H. Harrison, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and a leading member In the- Tennessee House, The leading "State Credit" Democratic candidate waa James K. Bailey, th retiring Senator. Gen; W. B.

Bate represented middle ground on the' credit question. The leading "Low Tax" Democrat, Cot. John IL Savage, withdrew before any Joint ballots- were taken, and urged harmony among tho Democrats, but the "Low Tax" faction generally voted for Gen. Bate, Mr. Maynard several times came within three or four vote of election, while- Bailey and Bate lacked from nineteen to forty votes of a majority.

Mr. Bailey and Gen. Bate withdrew toward the close of the contest, and before the meeting on January the Democrats had resolved to support any one named by Senator Matthews, Independent Democrat. Matthews voted for Solon E. Rose, and the Democrats generally began to change their vote Immediately, soon giving Mr.

Rose a majority ot one vote. Mr. Butler (Rep.) then changed his vote from Maynard to Jackson and waa followed by seventeen other Republicans and all the Democrats. When all the changea were made the result was announced aa follows: Jackson, 72; Maynard, 23; Rose. Taylor, not voting, 3.

Mr. Maynard, it Is believed, might have been elected had not a few obstinate Republicans held out to the last, hoping that Mr. Harrison, tha choice of four or five Republicans, might be forced upon the majority of the party. Mr. Jackson wa popular with both Democrats and Republicans and was a man of great purity ot character.

During the contest he supported Senator Bailey. In April," 188, nearly a year before the expiration of hia term as Senator. Mr. Jackson was appointed by President Cleveland as Circuit Judge for the Sixth circuit (Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee), to succeed the late Judge John Baxter. He was nominated for Associate Justice by President Harrison February 2.

lfOZ, was confirmed by the Senate February lg, and entered upon the duties of that office March 4. The Country Will Feel the Los. Buzzard's Bay, Aug. 8. To-night President Cleveland received news of the death of Justice Jackson.

When Coroner Fitxpatrick ar rived to look after the deed, be said, a a practical builder, it was his opin ion, that the disaster bad -been caused by th candy nature of the land oa which th structure had been set.
