 NEW, YoAR, March 2S.-The funeral servsces of the late Col. Elliott F. Shepard were held this morning at 1o'clock at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church corner ot Fifty. afth street There was Rhort private service st the house previously, Rev. Dr John Hall conducting both services.
 After the services tho remains were con- VeSed to tho Moravian Cemetery at New Dorp, Staten Island. Tho interment wa s private.
 The following gentlemen acted as pail bearerS:
 Chauncey M. Depew, Jehn Sloane James MAcDonnough, John A. Sleicher, Logan C.. Murray, Col. John j, MeCook, John g. Kennedy, Warren Van Norden, Warner Miller and ex-Judge Neah Davis. The Seoleum in the Moravian Cemetery, at New Dorp, Staten Island.
 The statement of Drs. McBurney and Lane regarding the sudden death of Col Elliott F. Shepard while under their oper- 0tions throws very little new light upon the mystery, although it discloses several new facts,
 One of the most stal ting is that when the patients condition became 80 alarming that extreme measures Were called for, the operation of trRcheotorny, or opening the windpipe, was performed to remove any thing that might possibly have found its way into the windpipe.
 The surgeons say that MO foreign sub stance was found, although a rubber Jube was passed down inte the windpipe and the bronchical tubes, making use of g powerful aspirating syringe, without dis covering anything but bloody mucus This they think, shows that death was not the result of strangulation caused by ths entrance of anything from the stomach into the wtndpipe during the . vomiting which followed the administration of ether They also intimate that the patient re gniued consciousness for some time, whilS efforts were being made to restore him What oc6ltred during this interval iS no
 stated. It is reported however, that Col Shepard recovered sufficiently to realize hi critical condition, and that he expressed wish that his wife should be sent for immc dately that he might see her before he died This report could not be verified. It is said that the doctors only made tn, public statement under pressure, and at tn earnest request of the members of Col | Shepard's family, in order to allay the sus | picions which were current and answe | the criticisms of tlose who believed tha | there had been negligence or carelessness il the treatment of the patient. Despite the fact that the doctors in thei | statement declare that tho primary caus | of death is unknown to them, it Is not fel
 that any autopsy will be necessary. Corone
 Schultze said as much when he signed tn death certificate on Saturday. All tn
 members of Col. Shepard's family ar
 strongly opposed to any such proceeding

 Since the day the lovely Miss Willing left Philadelphia to become the bride of John Jacob Astor, her mantle of belle has been variously disposed among the beautiful young ladies of the City ol Brotherly Love. But among the candi. dates for this honor there are certainly few more beautiful than Miss Anna King, who resides at 136 Diamond street, Philadelphia.
 Our portrait is very far from doing the young lady justice, but it win serve to call the attention of her many friends and admirers to the fact that she is again in excellent health. Fol it must be known that Miss King has been seriously ill-so seriously, in fact that her physician gave her up, saying that no help was possible.
 To reporter she spoke freely and un reservedly concerning herself.

 BRIDGEPORT, March 21, 1893. Sawyer Medicine Co:
 Gentlemen, having little confidence in the extravagant claims made for most of the proprietary medicines of the present day I seldom give them a trial, but the pleasant personal acquaintance with your senior, MT. Andrew Sawyer, extending over twenty years, gave me assurance that any statements made by you regarding your medicinal preparations could be inn plicitly accepted as fact. I have recent fy been using your Dandelion Compound for indigestion and an extremely bilious condition of the stomach, and find the re- suits justify all you claim for it. From my own experience I confidently recom- mend it to my friends as an alternative and tonic and the assurance of many we'll known people leads me to believe 1t 3 ol0od value. Very Respectfully Yours, c. B, CHAPMAN,
