DEATH OF ED. G. TAYLOR.
Well Known Kansas City Attorney
Passes Away.

From the Kansas City Times. April IL.
Edward G. Taylor, one of the bes
known attorneys in Kansas City, dieC
at his residence, corner of Twenty
third and Olive streets, at 8 80 O'Clock
last evening.
The cause of his death is given a:
septic blood poisoning, but his physi
clans say that the real cause was {
general breaking down of the whole
system, due TO overwork. He left s
widow and five little children to mourn
his loss.
Mr.. Taylor has not been able tC
attend to business since a week age
last Wednesday, but his illness was moi
at first thought to be at all serious.
Last Wednesday, however, DIR. Smell,
the family physician, became alarmed,
and called DR.. Block into consultation.
His condition rapidly became more
grave, and for some time previous to
his death he was out of his mind.
Mr.. Taylor was the special attorney
of the committee of safety in the pros
ecution of the men accused of election
frauds. For weeks and months he
worked day and night upon these
cases. His friends say that he hardly
allowed himself time to eat, and the
great strain told severely upon his
system. In the last hours of his
illness he imagined he was in the court
room, and grew much excited in
addressing the imaginary jury. He
was violent at times, but the end came
peacefully.
Ed. G. Taylor was born upon farm
in Lafayette county, Missouri, his
family being one of the oldest in that
portion of the state. He graduated
from the State University at Columbia,
and soon afterward came to Kansas
City and was admitted to the bar. He
formed a partnership with Fletcher
Cowherd and w. J. Scott, and soon
ranked high among the members of
the local bar. Fifteen years ago he
was married to the woman who is now
his widow. She was the daugter of
Col. John W. Polk, formerly sergeant
alarms of the United States senate.
Mr.. Taylor always took an interest
in politics and public affairs, and was
the bitter foe of corruption and crime.
The committee of safety elected him
from all the attorneys of the city as its
agent, and his labors fully justified the
confidence reposed in him.
Mr.. Taylor's father died some years
ago, but his mother, who still resides
on the old home place, in Lafayette
county, was with HIM when he died.
He left three brothers, Isaac p. Taylor,
who resides in Lafayette county, and
Samuel F. and John Taylor who reside
at Idaho Falls. Mrs. w. l.. Lewis,
who resides at 1910 Cherry street, is
his sister, and he had another sister,
Mrs. w. l.. Yantis, who lives in
California. Mr.. Taylor was 40 years
of age at the time of his death.
No arrangements have yet been
made for his funeral, and the relatives
did not know last evening whether the
interment wonld be at Kansas City or
the remains would be sent
to Lafayette county. The funeral
sermon will be preached by the Rev.
DIR. Neel of the First Presbyterian
of which Mr.. Taylor was for
many years q member.

Silver to Win.

Washington, d. c., April TO-
Senator Harris, in discussing the free
silver movement, said:
"The committee of which | am
chairman is in receipt of abundant In-
formation from the various states to
justify my assertion at this time that
the free coinage people will enter the
Chicago convention with a pronounced
majority, such majority as will die
tate terms from the start. These terms
will be unchangeable. They will be

will be no surrender. AS masters of

MAY WED MIR. AsToR.
Lady Churchill Said to BE Engaged
to William Waldorf.

All the social world of the English metrop-
oils is talking over the startling rumor that
Lady Randolph Churchill is to become the
wife of William Waldorf Astor, the former
New York millionaire, whose tastes are SO
pronouncedly British. The news is receiv-
ed with general establishment. because such
a marriage means the surrender by Lady
Churchill Of her title.
Neither Mr.. Astor nor Lady Churchill will
admit the truth of the rurnor. They smil-
ingly receive congratulate but decline
to extend either denial or affirmat ton. The
only one who admits ali engagement is
young Randolph Churchill, who, however,
viii not say whose wife Lady Churchill is
to become.
MY mother will soon We'd" he declares,
but beyond this bald statement declines to
go. Coincident with this interesting matri-
monial rumor is one hardly less interesting,
10 the effect that when Mr.. Astor marries
Lady Churchill. if he does, he will be
knighted by the queen, with whom Lady
Churchill is great favorite Mr.. Astor's
services to English literature might readily
be made the excuse for such an act.
Lady Churchill is one of the most popu-
lar Of the long line of American women
who married English husbands. Her name
was Jennie Jerome. and she was born in
New FORK forty-three years ago. She Is
strikingly handsome and has been univer-
sally admired She is the typical American
woman in point of sweetness, vivacity and
charming manners. and has long held a
high place III Queen Victoria's esteem.
Lady Randolph Churchill is "Aunt Jen-
ME" to the husband of Consuelo Wander
bit, who also gives her new relative that
title. Should Aunt Jennie marry William
Waldorf Astor, Mr.. Astor will become
Uncle WHIP to the Duke of Marlborough
and the young duchess.
When Lady Churchill went to England
she had the largest dover up to that time
n Awe ~ix Co. h~,,
Leonard Jerome, richly lowered this, his
first married daughter, and her money, her
beauty and her grace made her the sensa-
ton of the hour. She was one of the first
american women to demonstrate that in
ternational marriages with title'' could
be happy ones.
MIR. Astor has several children; one Is a
daughter, soon to make her debut in So
ciety. Both Lady Churchill and Mr.. Astor
have been bereaved within about a twelve
month, and their supposed engagement,
therefore, is kept as quiet as possible, as
being in better taste.

DAMAGES FOR A BLACKLIST.

In the United States circuit court at

been rendered against the Florida East
Coast railroad the Flagler system) for
blackHsting w. E. Willets Ten months ago
Willets, who is a citizen of Greenfield, md,
was conductor on the East Coast road.
Being offered a better paying position or
the South Florida railroad, he left the East
coast railroad on two days notice. Willets
went to work on the South Florida rail-
read, and in three days was discharged
no cause being assigned. Niliets inquired
into the matter and learned that he was
discharged because SuD-. Golf of the East
coast railroad had sent a circular letter
10 the officials of other Florida RAILWAYS
asking that WilletS be not employed No
charge was made that Willets was in
competent or had failed to give satisfac-
ton to the East Coast railroad; it was
a simple request that he be blacl1listed
since the letter was written Willets has
aPpHed Tor work to every railway in Flor
iday, but in vain.
In consequence he brought suit against
the East Coast railroad for s1O,OGO, which
resulted as stated above On the trial
the attcrneys for the railroad urged
that the writing of the blacklisting letter
was Supt. COTS personal act, and that the
corporation should not be neld responsible

was the corporations agent, and that it
was responsible for his acts
