TRAINS ON EXHIBITION.
Handsome New Cars Being shown by
the c., III. & st. p. Railway.

The two new complete trains built by
Barney & Smith at Dayton, o., for the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad, to be
run as fast trains between Chicago and st.
Paul, and to be known as the Pioneer linn
ited,'' arrived in the city last evening at 5
o'clock, and after being cleaned up at the
Big Four yards were at o'clock hauled
into the train sheds at the Union Station for
exhibition. Hundreds of people visited the
station to inspect the trains, and Colonel
Everest and his associate officials gave the
visitors a hearty reception. After going
through the trains the general expression
was that the cars, especially the compart-
ment and sleeping cars, were the most COM
plete and elegant ever seen here.
A Westinghouse engine and dynamo lights
consist of the usual mail and express cars,
a baggage car with bicycle racks, buffet
smoking and library car, standard and COM
partment sleepers, dining and parlor cars,
and day coach, all finished in the most
elaborate manner, the car works not having
been limited in the cost of any portion OF the
train. The style used in the ornamentation
of the train throughout is the Empire, with
a suggestion of the classic Greek, a COM
bination peculiarly adapted to producing
rich effect. The sleeping cars are massive
structures of the Sixteen-section pattern,
throughout the entire train. The actual
cost of the two trains is said to have been
$250000. The compartment and sleeping cars
are especially elaborate. The day coaches
are finished in the interior with Mexican
mahogany, and the carving and mar
uuetry is up to the high standard of the
sleeping cars. r. A. Miller, assistant gen.
eral passenger agent Of the c., M. q st. P,
has charge of the routing, etc. of the
train, which will leave the Union Station at
II o. clock this morning.

SILAS M. SHEPARD DEAD
A wELL-KN0WN ATTORNEY OF IN
DIANAPOLIs PASSES AWAY.
He Came 10 This City i'm 1875 and Had
Since Resided Here-Sketch
of His Career.

Capt Silas McLain Shepard. one Of the
well-known attorneys of the city, died at
the family residence 1450 North Alabama
street. yesterday evening at 7;30 o'clock.
Captain Shepard had been ailing for about
two weeks, although until last Tuesday he
was able to be down town at his Office occa-
sonally. Dr. Lash diagnosed his trouble as
nephritis. For the last few days he had
suffered intensely, but the end came peace
fully last evening.
The news of Captain Shepard's death was
a shock to his many friends in Indianap-
oils, who had not expected fatal termina-
ton of his illness. He had resided in this
city since 1875. When he came to Indian
apolis he formed a law partnership with
Jonathan w. Gordon and Robert N. Lamb.
For a number of years the firm of Gordon,
Lamb e. Shepard was regarded as one of
the strongest in the State. On the dissolu-
ton of that firm Captain Shepard became
identified with the firm of Shepard, Elan
& Martindale in 1883 A year later Mr..
Elan retired. The firm then continued as
Shepard & Martindale until 1890, since which
time Captain Shepard practiced law alone
Until the last few years Captain Shepard
took but little interest in politics. OF re-
cent years, however he has been deeply
interested in and actively connected with
the Populist party of the State.
Captain Shepard was born in Jacksonville.
o., April 2, 1910. While he was a boy his
father removed to Iowa. His father died
when he was but eighteen years of age.
Displaying the same pluck and determina-
ton of character for which he was noted in
after life, the boy proceeded to educate him
self, working on the farm in the summer
time and teaching in the winter. He moved
to Illinois and there began the study OF
law. At the breaking out of. the war he
enlisted with an Illinois regiment, becom-
ing first lieutenant of Company A, one
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Illinois Volun-
teers. After an honorable service in the
army he was mustered out as acting cap
tain at the end of the war and returned to
Illinois. At the battle of Perryville, KY,
he was quite seriously wounded. On his re-
turn to civil life he again. entered the legal
profession. May Il, 1866 he was united In
marriage TO Rhoda M Compton at Charles
ton, III. Mrs. Shepard and seven children
survive him. Two children of the marriage
are dead Those living reside in this city.
They are Mrs Catherine G. Townsend, Har-
riet E., Frank r., Silas NJ, jr., Rhoda c.,
Daniel j. and Albertine c. Shepard. Ar
rangements have not yet been made for the
funeral but will be announced later.

Shakespeare Club Entertained.

The members of the Shakespeare Club and
their friends to the number of about two
hundred were entertained last night at
Plymouth Church by an artistic recital of
"A Midsummer Nights Dream" by Mrs.
Hannibal A. Williams, of New York. The
various characters of the comedy were por-
trayed by a slight change of voice, and were
sustained to the end with fidelity. She was
equally effective as the dignified duke the
boiSterous clown and the mischievous Puck.
The recital was accompanied by Mendels-
sohn's illustrative music, vocal and instru-
mental, and added much to the attractive
ness of the entertainment.
