MRS. PARAN STEVENS GONE
Death of the Noted Leader of
GOtham'S Best.
Society.
From Factory Girl She Rose to a
Most Brilliant and Chari-
table Woman.

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 3-Mrs. Par
an Stevens, one of the best-known women
in New York society, died this afternoon.
She was stricken with la grippe, which
finally developed into pneumonia, which
caused her death. Mrs. Stevens was born
in Lowell, Mass, nearly seventy years ago.
Mrs. Paran Stevens was one of the most
noted characters in New York society. She
rose to social fame from the position of
factory girl and during her career made
many of the leaders of New York's "400''
and was instrumental in sending as many
more into the rear ranks of social life. Mrs.
Stevens made good use of her income,
which came to her through her husband,
Paran Stevens, and partly as a result of
the lady's successful investments She
made practice of devoting one-fifth of her
income to charitable uses, and in this way
won much respect and esteem from the
poor of New York.
Mrs. Stevens resided in one of the most
elegant and costly houses in Gotham. She
entertained the notables of two continents
at her home and earned an entree into the
best society of Europe. It.was she who ar
ranged the famous Could astellane we'd
ding. Miss Gould was her special charge
during last years social season in London
and Paris.
In personal appearance Mrs. Stevens
was large and not over-refined looking
woman. She was striking in appearance,
but yet not handsome. She boosted of her
personal magnetism, and not without good
cause, for all who met her pronounced her
most charming conversationalist. Her
individuality was striking Mrs. Stevens
enjoyed the Inequalities of the Goulds last
winter. She was with them on voyage
in their yacht Atlanta, and after the trip
she was entertained by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Gould at their Fifth-avenue resi-
dence.
The father of Mrs. Stevens was harness
maker and man of humble means. He
strived hard to educate his daughter, who
studied hard to earn an education. The
daughter of Mrs. Stevens married Arthur
Paget, son of Lord Paget, noted barrister
of England. Arthur Paget and his bride
visited this city some months ago.

THEY. AWAIT THE VERDICT,
Taylor Brothers, at Carrollton,
Mo-, Jubiiant Over the
=. Delay.
Charges of Bribery Are Current and
May Result in Lynch
Law.

I: CARROLLTON,.. Mo-, April 3.-When
the jury before which was tried the case of
the State vs., William P. and George Tay-
lor: for the; murder of the Meeks family
retired last night It was announced that
they would not begin celebrating on. the
verdict until this morning. Up to 2 clock
this afternoon they had made no report
and nothing has come from the iury-room
| to indicate how. they stand. The fact that
they have not yet reached a conclusion
indicates that they are not all for conyic-
tfon..
There are ugly rumors on the streets to-
day, and the town is full OF men from Lynn
and Sullivan counties, who believe the
Taylors guilty, and will.not quietly accept
any other verdict. A rumor circulating Is
that two of the jurors have been bribed-
that. they were paid $500 to prevent a con-
viction by the. jury, if they cannot bring
about an aequittal.. This story is in every
mouth to-day, and finds general credence.
The facts of the bribery, it is said, leaked
out this way: One .ofthe men now on the
Jury approached one of the panel of forty
Jurors before the .peremptory challenges
were made and offered him (the juror chal-
lenged) $3.50 to hang the jury in the event
they were both selected to try the case.
The jury at late hour tonight is still
out and there is apparently no prospect of
their reaching verdict. 1t is rumored the
jury. now stands eleven for conviction and
one for acquittal. There is no telling how
long the Judge will keep them outpost
bly, until next Sunday.
The Prosecuting Attorney Is iavestlgaE-
ing the report That there has been induce
ments offered to some members of the jury
to prevent conviction. If this fact can be
positively affirmed the Judge will impanel
a special jury to investigate. Feeling is
running high. The Taylor brothers are in
better spirits, and evfaently regard the de-
lay as favorable to their cause.

IS cHAMP|ONED BY SQUIRE
Puget Sound Anxious to Build
Some of the New Tor
pedo-BoatS.
San Francisco the Only Place on the
Coast That Can Build Bat
tle-Ships.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3-senator
Squire of Washington is interesting him
self to secure, if possible, contract for
some of the new naval vessels provided for
at the last session of Congress for his State.
The law provides that one of the two battle
ships and one of the torpedo boats shall be
built on the Pacific Coast, unless it should
appear that they cannot be built there ex-
cept at exorbitant rates but the law makes
no such specification as to any of the six
composite ram-boats provided for in the
act. Squire has, however, been assured that
the people of the Western coast shall have
an opportunity to put in bids on these
boats also.
There is only one institution on that
coast having facilities for building battle
ships, and that is located at San Francisco;
but the Senator says the torpedo-boats and
gunboats can be constructed on Puget
Sound as economically as at any other
place. The bureau of construction and
repairs of the Navy Department will have
immediate control of the building of the
proposed vessels. and is already consider
ing plans for them. It is understood
however, that none of the specifications
will be ready to submit to the prospective
bidders for a month or six weeks. The
plans for the gunboats, now receiving the
attention of the officials, contemplate boats
1853 feet long, 34115 feet wide and II feet
draught, giving displacement of 957 tons.
The bottoms are to be OF wood, covered
with copper two feet above the water line
and above the copper with steel. The keel
is to be of wood with side frame of steel,
and there is to be an inside steel frame in
the hull. There is some doubt in the
minds of the officials whether such vessels
can be built for the amount appropriated
$3.50, 900 for each boat-and it may become
necessary to reduce the dimensions in
order to bring the cost of construction
within the appropriation. The law per-
mits the use of steel or other metal, or of
alloy in any proposed vessels. The name
of Kearsarge will be revived for one of the
battle-ships.

OKLAHOMA, o. T., April 3.--Harry St.
John, son of Governor st. John of Kan

Her father, Willard Felbon, was former
County Judge of Saguche County, Colo,
and later Warden of the Colorado State
