HIS LAST SPREE.
Riley Boyd, the Son ola Distinguished Fa--
Their Found Dead in Bed.

PADucAH, XIV, Sept. 30.-Rhey
Boyd, the lawyer and politician and
recently minister of the gospel, was
found dead In his bed at the Boyd
mansion this morning, by an old col
ored servant. who went to his rooma
to awake him for breakfast.
Several times lately he had threat
ened to commit suicide, and as soonE
as the news of his death became
known the supposition was that her,
had taken his own life. The coro--
ner's jury, however, returned a YER
dict Of death from heart disease SUI
perinduced by excessive drink.
Recently his dormant appetite fer
strong drink took possession of him,
while in st. Louis, and he came here
three weeks ago, having been in an
inebriated condition ever since at one.
of the hotels. Coming as it did di--
rectly after six months of successful
preaching his friends lost faith in
him, and to make matters worse, a.
woman whom he had met sent his
letters to one of his wife's relatives
His wife returned yesterday from st.
Louis, and he told her he intended to-
sober up and do better. A doctor
was with him, but left him early In
the evening, and Boyd wandered
about the house until o'clock, when
he retired without removing his
clothes.
He was found dead few hours
later. No mark of violence was
found upon him and there were no
indications of poison. His mother
died last January and he. leaves a.
half-hrother, Butler Boyd, of Clarks
Vile.
Riley Boyd was born in Paducah
April Ia, 1853, and was son of the
Hon. Linn Boyd, prominent in Ken
lucky politics during his lifetime and
twice speaker of the house during.
his congressional career. He had
practiced law here since manhood,
and was first married to Miss Lucy
Grimes several years ago, who coma
nitted suicide in st. Louis months
If TWO later. His second marriage,
vas to Mrs. Irving Thompson, of
whose maiden name was
Rieke. Several months ago he an
himself candidate for the
legislature, but afterward withdrew.
from the race and entered the minis,
try as an evangelist, preaching at.
several places in Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and assisting at one time Rev
Fife. His career has been a check
cred one. There was one time
when he could have had any ofics.
in the gift of the people of this dis,
.rict, but drink was his curse.

.Uncle Peter" Chain Dead.

Peter Chain, one of the best-knowr
colored men about the city, died Mon.
day night, just one day after his aged
wife had dropped dead of heart dis
ease. Uncle Peter" as everybody
called him,w " years old and came
to this city from 'Old Virginny." He
never tired of talking about his old
home and had come in personal con-
tact with number of the distinguish
ed men of the State, including "Marse
Bob" Lee. He had an excellent mem.
DRY and told many stories of his boy
hood and early life. When he was
young man large snake escaped
from menagerie and terrified the in
habitants of his part of the State Is
was supposed to be an anaconda, but
Uncle Peter" was unable to handle
SO large word and spoke of the ser
pent as an "absquonder" and gave
graphic description of it's pas age
through the county and its final dis
pearance in the sea, swimming with
It's head far above the water. Who is
there in town who has not heard him
tell this story? "Uncle Peter" was a
gardener and saved the money he
made. He was well-to-do and paid
his debts with scrupulous honesty.
He was reliable, faithful, polite and
respectful. He took great
pride in his calling and his work was
always well done. He was one of the
few remaining types OF the old-fash
Toned darkey, with many good traits
of character and few of the bad ones
that characterize his race in later
years. He was sober, industrious,
truthful and honest and was con-
sistent member of the Methodist
church.
He was buried Tuesday in the Col
ored Cemetery near the city.
