DIES At ST. ELIzABETH'S
Made Fortune in Regime Of
Governor Shepherd.
PROMINENT IN REAL ESTATE
Survived by a Widow and Two Daugh-
teTs-Death Not I'm
expected.

HaIlet KilDourne, once prominent
Washington real estate dealer, died at
St. EIizabeth's Hospital this morning af-
ter an illness some weeks.
MIR. KiIbouTne was well known to
those Washingtonians who remember
the regime of Governor Shepherd. Mr.
Kilbourne was a member Of the real es-
tate firm of KiIbourne & Latta, and was
one of the first to see the possibilities
in Washington as residence city.
When Mr. Shepherd began to improve
the city Mr.. KiIbourne was cognizant of
his plans, followed them closely, and
fearIessly speculated in residence pro
peTty in the new streets. By this
method he accumulated large wealth.
But when the shepherd regime was
overthrown he went down in the gen.
eraI crash. A large portion Of his wealth
was lost
When the House OF Representatives
ordered an investigation Of what was
then known as the real estate ring, -
MIR KiIbourne. as the active partner of
his firm. was summoned as a witness
before the investigating committee. In
the course OF his examination he was
required to produce the books of his
firm This he refused TO do and in con
sequence vas held to be in contempt of
the House and was ordered TO be i'm
prisoned-
The jail at that time was dilapi-
dated, unsanitary structure. and Mr.
KiIbourne was confined in one OF the
rooms Of the Capitol. where he lived in
great state for several weeks and was
finally released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. Kilbourne was in his day one Of
the most Popular and influential men in
the District He had the courtly. pleas
ant manners OF gentleman OF the old
school and charmed all with whom he
came in contact
Around him gathered cultured and
influential coterie of men of affairs
who exercised a wide influence upon
public events.
He was the first 10 build handsome
private residence in what vas then con
sidered the edge oa ne city. X Street
near Seventeenth SsFeet. He built on X
Street, between Seventeenth Street and
Connecticut Avenue. three handsome
dwellings. which were occupied by him
self, Mr. Shepherd, and AdoIph CIuss,
the architect
E The later years OF Mr. KIlbourne s
life were marked principally by his
journalistic writings He was widely
known as an author on political sub
jects. contributing 10 magazines and
newspap pers, and writing numerous po-
litical pamphlets. He was one Of the
principal contributors to the 'Nationa
Republican"
Mr.. KiIbourne is survived by a widow
and two daughters. He had been in
firm for several years, and mis- death
was not unexpected.

the Offices OF W H Brown, chief en-
gineer Of the Pennsylvania Railroad, an

the supervisiou of Chief Engineer Brown.

proaches south OF the station. The Bal
tfrnore and Ohio Company, under the su-
pervision Of Chief Engineer Graham, is
TO build the viaduct and all the ap
pToaches north of the station. The sta
tion itself will be the joint work of the
companies. under the supervision Of D.
H. Burnham. of Chicago, the consulting
architect
The first work. according TO present
plans. will be undertaken by the Penn
syIvania company on the tunnel and ap-
proaches south of the Capitol. The work

proceeding, and is the second time the

Leon Tobriuer. demanded that his con
duct OF his affairs be passed upon by a
jury Such proceedings are provided for
by the bankruptcy act of 1898.
