DEATH OF Mr.. SHEPHERD.

Alexander r. Shepherd, the last sur,
viving Governor of the District of CO.
lumbia, died yesterday morning at hi;
hacienda at Batopilas, in the province
of chihuahua, Mexico, Of appendicitis,
after brief illness. He was 81 years
old. Governor Shepherd was regarded
by some as one of the greatest men
Washington has produced, just as 81
years ago he was maligned and villitied
by hundreds. Until recent years, his
friends say, he has been a much mis-
understood man. They contend he
worked for the development Of greater
Washington, and the beautiful city OF
the present day is admitted to be the re-
suit of his labors.
Governor Shepherd was the last Gov
ernor of the old territorial form of gov
ernncnt for the District of Columbia.
At the close Of his term of office the or
ganic act providing for the present form
of government was approved by Congress,
placing the executive power of the Dis
trict in the hands of three men, known
as District Commissioners, one of whom
is always an army officer assigned by the
Secretary of War All the commission
ers have been men who have been eager
to carry forward the work begun by
Governor Shepherd.
Governor Shepherd had been living at
Batopias about twenty years. The abuse
which was hurled upon him injured his
sensitive nature and he said he preferred
to remain an exile from the city for
which he had labored than to remain
there unappreciated. He had large sill
yer interest in Mexico. The present
village of Batopilas was almost entirely
founded by Governor Shepherd, and its
population is almost entirely supported
bv the silver mines which he operated.
He employed force of 5000 laborers
in the Batopilas mines and about 300 at
the smaller mines at San Miguel, about
half a mile away.

SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.

Boisy Bryant, negro, was hanged al
Nashville, Ca, yesterday at noon for the
murder of Town Marshal Hyers. Mrs.
Eta Hyers Parker, daughter of the
murdered officer, watched the proceed
ings of the execution from the scaftold
trap. As soon as Bryant was pronounced
dead, Mrs. Parker, with her fathers S
knife, cut the body of the murderer
down. Mrs. Parker retained the first
piece of rope for herself. Miss Eta
Hyers was married on Sunday last to
r. C.. Parker. Mrs. Parker's part in
the hanging aroused great interest. She
spent the night at Sheriff Swindle' S
house. and was on hand YESTERDAY morn
ing early. She was accompanied by her
husband. Mrs Parker eyinced the most
intense interest in the proceedings, and
was prepared for any duty the sheriff
devolved upon her. While the colored
minister was praying for the condemned
boy she cast eyes at him scornfully, and
made several contemptuous expressions.
"Please let me kill him, Mr.. Sheriff,
she pleaded pitifully, but the sheriff
turned deaf ear to her. He told her,
however, she would be permitted to cut
down the lifeless body.
81 will do it willingly" she said, and
waited patiently for the time to come.
Shortly after II o'clock Bryant ascended
the scafTold and made short statement,
saying gambling, whisky and evil assO-
Citations led him to his ruin. lie ac-
knowledged the crime in straightfor-
ward manner. eyes; you killed my
precious father, and now you are reaping
the whirlwind," cried Mrs. Parker,
greatly excited. The sheriff and his
deputies at this juncture adjusted the
black cap and bound the negro, while
Mrs. Parker eagerly observed every move
At the same time she walked around
the doomed man and made close in
spection of the knot and the rope, and
remarked that all was right. The trap
was sprung at IL As, and at 1907 the
physicians pronounced life extinent.
All this time Mrs Parker sat in a
posture beside the trap, toying
with the knife and feeling the keen edge
of the blade. "Tell me when you are
ready, Mr.. Sheriff." she said, anxiously
The next instant Sheriff Swindle signaled
her and the upliftcd knife cut the hempen
r ,pe in two. { / told you | would do t
right" she said, "and I'm satisfied"

KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCl-
DENT.

Mrs. William Stewart, wife Of the
venerable Senator from Nevada, was
killed in Alameda, CAL, yesterday after
noon in an automobile accident. She
was riding with her nephew, Charles
Foote, of Oakland, and ii. B. Taylor,
and their machine was spinning swiftly
over the smooth street when, in some
unknown manner, the steering ap-
paratus went wrong, and Foote lost
control of the machine. 1t dashed
into the curb and struck telegraph
pole with terrible force. The pole was
broken short off and the machine was
demolished. Mrs. Stewart was thrown
far out over the dashboard and fell on
the stone sidewalk, where she lay un-
conscious. She was carried into near
bv residence and doctors called. 1t was
thought at first that her injuries were
not fatal, although they seemed serious.
Three ribs were broken aud she was cut
and bruised. She rallied at first, 6ut
soon began to sink, and died at D
o. clock, an hour after the accident.
Foote and Taylor escaped with bruises:
The body of Mrs. Stewart was removed
to the home of w. w. Foote, and a
telegram sent to the Senator, notifying
him of the fatality. No arrangements
have been decided upon for the funeral,
but it will probably be held in Wash
ington, where Senator Stewart has his
residence.

West Point and soldier of distinction
in the Confederate army, killed himself
in his room in the Ross Hotel, in New

when he was last seen, and yesterday
afternoon, when his room was broken
into and bis body found. Colonel

five DAYS ago. No one about the place

Yesterday afternoon it was recalled that
he had not been seen around the hotel
for two davs, and the door of his room
was forced open. He was found dead
in bed, with bottle that had contained
carboic acid beside him. On the
bureau was note, asking that f. 5.
Garnett, of "a Wall street; be notified.
Mr.. Garnett, who is a nephew of the
dead man, identified the body. He
said that he knew ofno reason why his
uncle should have killed himself. The
suicide was about sixty years old, and
was native of Westmoreland county,
Va. On the outbreak of the war he
ioined the Confederate ranks. Colonel
Garnett, according to his nephew, took
part in the battle of Gettysburg, and
was mentioned thirty-fve times in the
records of the civil war for distinguished
services At the close Of the war Col
onel Garnet went to New York. He
devoted himself principally to writing.
1t is understood that recently he had
been busy on history ofthe West Point
Military Academy. He was also presi-
dent of the st. James Historical and
Publishing Society. At one time he was
