Ether.
New York, March 24-Col. Eliot Fitch
Shepard, editor Of the Mail and Express,
died suddenly this afternoon al nis home,
No. 9 West Fifty-second street
His death followed the administration
of ether by DR.. Charles McBurney, and
the family physician, DR.. j. w. McLane,
who were about 70 make an examination 10
ascertain whether the Coloneps suspicion
that he suffered from stone in the bladder
was correct.
Col. Shepard had been in good health,
but nearly month ago he noticed symp-
toms that led him TO believe that he was
afflicted with stone in the bladder.
He let 1t go, and did not consult physi-
clan until a week ago, when he went 10
DR.. McLane and told MIN OF his suspicious.
The Doctor confirmed them and advised
them at least TO submit TO an examination
and to undergo an operation should 1t be
deemed necessary. The Colonel agreed TO
this, ana to-day was decided on Tor the
examination.
This morning about o'clock, before the
arrival OF ths DOCTOR he complained OF Sc
we're pains, and said he thought he would
go 70 bed, but first be went to the tele-
Express and gave number OF Instructions
ABOUT the future conduct of the newspa-
per in case anything should happen him.
After telephoning these instructions tue
Colonel laid down awhile. About /
o. clock Colonel Shepard said that he was
ready for the surgeons and they, with the
nurses, began the work OF putting him
under ether.
He had inhaled the drug but two or
three times when the physician detected
dangerous symptoms aud stopped the IN
halation. Colonel Shepard sank rapidly,
and for time IL was feared that he could
not be rallied. Powerful restoratiyes
were administered.
At the end of an hours work with oxygen
he was restored 10 partial consciousness,
and he continued apparently TO rally until
4 o'clock. Then, without warning and FOR
no apparent reason, he began rapidly 10
sink.
The oxygen treatment was resumed, but
IL was or no avail; ut 20 o'clock he died.
He was snconscious aud his death was
peaceful The cause OF the death given by
the physicians was osiema OF the lungs.
Al late hour no arrangements had beer
made for the funeral

be the reverse OF that given In Detroit.
Several months ago the contract which

pany expired. A committee OF the
brotherhood called on the general su-
perintendsnt to secure a renewal OF the
contract, but he declined to receive
them except as private individuals. At
the same time the telegraph operators
demanded a contract, which he likewise
declined to entertain. Last night the

on Judge Speer and he at once granted

appear before him to-day and answer as
to why he refuses to treat with the en-
gineers.
