One of the Richest ofMen A Noted Crmn
and a bitter Sooth Hater.
Col. Elliott F. Shepard died at his
home, No. 2 Went Fifty-second street
at 4.30 o'clock last Friday afternoon
while under the influence of ether ad
ministered by two eminent physicians
preparatory to their making an exam
ination of the patient, who believed
that be was suffering from stone in
the bladder.
Col. Sbepard was best known in th
last few years as the proprietor of tb
Mail and iiiprefs; but as an arien
Republican, a fervid and orthodox
Presbyterian, a son-in-law of William
II. Vanderbut and a Jawyer of con
siderable ability, he was widely known
for a much longer time.
lie held a distinguished place in
the inrer social circle or New York
and in spite of his eccentricities he
was always on the best of terms with
the members and friends of the Van
derbilt family, whose names are asso
ciated with the Central and other rail
road systems and with vast wealth
Col. Shepard was a .very wealthy
man, but his name was not assosiated
with any well-known transportation
enterprise except the Fifth avenue
stage line.
HIS DEATH A SURPRISE.
Tbe news of the death came as
surprise and shock to his relatives,
and to tbe whole Vanderbilt H'cbb-
Sloane Shepard connection, in which,
by long friendship and association,
though not by relationship, Chauncey
M. Depew is the leading figure.
The facts, so far as they could be
ascertained, are that Col. Shepard died
from the tfivcts of ether; that the
ether was administered bv two skill
ful physicians, Dr. Charles McBurney
and Dr. J. W. McLine; that these
physicians were called in by Col.
Shepard about 1:30 yesterday -after
noon; that Col. Shepard told them
that he feared he was suffering from
stone in the bladder; that they deter
mined to make a surgical investiga
tion and possibly an operation, and
that the ether was administered with
fatal results.
HAD CON'CEA LID HIS VBARS.
Fur some time back Col. Shepard
had been nervous and apprehensive
regarding his physical condition, lie
was very censitive about it, however,
and concealed bis fears even from bis
most intimate friends.
He went to his office and attended
to business day by day. He was in
his office in the new Mail and Express
building on Thursday, and none of his
visitors had any reason to believe that
the colonel was not hale, hearty and
hopeful.
Only a few days ago, Col. Shepard
invited ex -Secretary Tracy, Chauncey
M. Depew, Joseph H. Choate and
other well-known men to a dioBer
that be gave to the new Secretary of
the Navy, Mr. Hilary A. Herbert.
Tbe dinner was a great success and
not one of the guests could have sus
pe.ted that beneath his jovial bearing
Col Shepard was hiding the fear of a
terrible physical ailment. But as the
public dinner in Brooklyn to ex Sec
retary Tracy which followed his din
ner to Mr. Herbert, the Colonel's re
grets for inability to attend were read.
He gave no excuse, but in all proba
bility the State of his health was tbe
consideration which prevented him
from going to the dinner.
SAID NOTHING TO HIS FAMILY.
Col. Shepard's nervousness and sen
sitiveness as to bis possible ailment
induced him to a desperate course,
ho said nothing to his family or his
friends about bis intentioa.
He persuaded his wife and bis two
younger daughters, Alice and Mar
guerite, to go for an outing to ccars
boro on the Hudson, where he had a
country house
It .s not much more than a week
ago since he celebrated, with his fami
ly around him, the twenty-third an
niversary of his wedding.
Col. Shepard did not go to his of
fice yesterday, no went oct and took
a walk to brace himself for the ordeal
be bad secretly determined to undergo-
Ab-ut lunch time Col. Sbepard
made readv tor bis doctors, and a
striking evidence of his secrecy in the
matter is the fact that shortly after
their arrival the Colonel's faithful
friend Chauncey M. Depew, knew so
little of his (Shepard's) sickness that
he was taking his son to the circus.
THB SURGEONS AND THEIR WORK.
Dr. MeBurnev and Dr. McLane
brought with them for assistant Dr
Charles 8. Parker. Drs. MoBuiney
and McLane are surgeons of tbe very
highest standing. They have attend-
2i West Trade Street Charlotte,
ed the Whitney family, and hold dls
tinguished positions as instructors as
well as practitioners.
Chauncey M. Depew, in tbe account
of the case which he furnished to Tb
World reporter, tells of the Colonel'
cheerful reception of tbe doctors.
When Cal. Shepard had been ether
ued preparatory to the surgical in
vestigation, he began to show symp
toms of collapse.
Tbe physicians applied remedies
but in vain. He died, and when Mr
Depew returned to his home from the
circus he heard the news.
Tariff Bill.
News and Observer.
Just after the election the Tariff
Reform Club of New York appointed
a special committee to prepare a tariff
bill to be submitted to Congress. The
commute was formed of Ellery Ander
son, unarles . raircbiid, lbomas U.
Shearman, David A. Tfells, and one
or two other distinguished gentlemen,
very competent to deal with the sub
ject. Tbe general principles on which
they worked are that crude material
should bo exempt from duty! and as
for other articles an ad valorem tax
should be generally provided at suoh
rates as would produce the largest
revenues to tbe government. But tbe
necessities of tbe pcor classes of the
people have been considered. The
duty on woolen goods is fixed at 25
r cent. The committee thinks that
the bill would vield S120.000.000.
Any bill prepared by men who are
not members of Congress would stand
but a poor showing in the committee
of was and means, althouzb Secre
tary Carlisle might very roughly
sketch out a bill for the information
of the chairman and other members of
that committee, and otherwise aid
them in preparing their measure. It
is not to ba expeoted, however, that
tbe committee will receive this par
ticular bill, no matter bow perfect i
may be, as anything more tho the
uggesiioos of some very eminent gen
tlemen.
Public men whose reputation is at
stake will be 'apt to consider them
selves disparaged by hiring a bill of
fered with the expectation that the
committee should adopt it as an en-
irety. The Ellery Anderson bill will
thus probably prove otily to be an aid
to the committee as containing sug
gestions. But tbe line it follows is
probablp the one House will decide
on, and in this view the bill itself is
important.
idgment of the New Orleans Cotton
Acreage Con rent Ion.
Nkw Orleans, March 23. The

ay, had a business session and ad-
m .
ourned after mapping out a line or
olicy. The convention agreed with
the views of Senator George respect-
Dg the causes for depression in tbe
cotton industry; deprecated the pres
ent method of raising an exclusive
cotton crop, resolved that in the fu
ture cereals and other products should
be raised in conjunction with cotton if
the prosperity of the South is consult
ed, and appointed a committee to pre
pare an address to all parties in inter
est, recommending such a line of poli
cy as will be for the good of all con
cerned The convention also made provision
for the appointment of delegates to at
tend au inter state convention in tbe
event that such a convention is called.
Preacher Talk of Flcht.
Cartersvillb, Qa , March 24.
Revs. Sam Jones and Mr. Dobbs. the
Baptist preacher, are likely to come
together with a crash A feud of
many years' standing has existed be
tween the reverend gentlemen, inten
sified by a soandal srhich culminated
in a church trial last December, in
which But. Mr Mashburn, the Meth
odist pastor, was acquitted. Dobbs
held that he had been whitewashed.
Lately Dobbs has renewed his criti
cisms, and tbis led to a sermon by
Joses last Sunday. Mr. Jones, after
denouncing Dobbs, denounced the ac
cusation against Mr. Mashburn as a
"damnable lie," and said tbe affair
had gone far enongb; that "if it did
not stop right where it was Dobba
might have tbe feathers stamped off of
him before Saturday night. Tbe
preacher was loudly cheered.

WHY JIIE ('.OLD GOES OUT.
A Heavy Balance of Trade Against the
United Slates 330,003,000 iu One
Month.
Washington Pust.
During the month of February, jus
ended, the balance of trade against th
United States amounted to $20,000,
000. For the twelve months ended
on the 28th of February last the ba
anoe of trade against us was $32,000,
000. These figures, which have
been made public in a bulletin of the
Bureau of Statistics, have at ricted an
unusual atnouot of attention here
among men who give thoughtful at
teotion to the Goancial situation. It
is a remarkable and unpleasant show
iog, and tb? worst of it is that there
does not seem to be any ret-sou to ex
pect a chanze for some months to
u
come.
first of all, the excesa of imports
over exports sbows why $J,UUU,UUU
of the $80,000,000 of gold was ex
ported last year. ibis amount, at
least, has not been exported for for
eign nations who desire to hoard gold,
but because the people of tbe United
States contracted debts for purchases
madt abroad.
The articles which the people of the
Unfted States buy abroad to such an
extent as to make the balance of trade
against us make an interesting show
ing. The figures for tbe seven months
ending on the 31st of last January,
the latest obtainable, give an answec
to this interesting question. Oao of
the largest items of increase is coffee
The peoplo of the United States arc
more a nation of coffee drinkers.
Tbe imports in tbe seven months
named, as compared with tue same
period in the previou" year, increased
from $b:uuu,uuu to $.uuu,uuu
The import of tobacco increased some
thing like $:),000,000, while the one
tern of rubber lan jp from SJ.OOO,-
000 to $15,000,000. There was an
increase of $3,000,000 in importations
of manufactured cotton, the total
reaching S19.000.000 of $1,500,-
000 in manufactures ot flis and hemp.
of the same amount for fruits, of 3,-
000.000 for manufactures of wool,
and of nearly $2,000,000 for the man
ufactures of wood. The imports of
iron and steel have increased $5,500,-
000., The item of silk is also inter
esting. The importation of manufac
ured silk increased in the seven
months named to $20,000,000 from
$15,000,000, while, in addition to
this increase of go.000,000 there
hould be added the$4,000,000 shown
the lucreased importations of
articles of manufactured silk.
In other words, for the few articles
here enumerated the people of the
United States paid over $50,000,000
more during the seven months ended
on the 31st day of last January than
they did for the same period one year
previously.
Nor, as above stated, does it ap
pear that there will be any immediate
relief from this outgo of American
money. Wheat and cotton are the
reat factois in the exports. The fig
ures show that in the seveu mouths al
ready stated, as compared with the
previous year, the exports of raw cot
ton fell off in round numbers from
$178,000,000 to $127,000 000 over
$50,000,000. -
The exports of wheat fell from
116,000,000 to $60,000,000, and all
the other breadstuff in like propor
tion. The exports of agricultural
products fell from $513,000,000 to
$397,000,000, a very hea7y decrease.
A bulletin issued by the department
of agriculture, conveys the informa
tion that the present conditions for the
European crop are very favorable.
This indicates, of course, that there
will be very little demand for Ameri
can wheat abroad. If Europe buys
no wheat or cotton from us the bal
ance of trade must still continue
against us. Nor will the wheat and
cotton crop begin to be moved for
some months.
This same bulletin of the depart
ment of agriculture also fchows that
the wheat crop of Europe this year
will be no less than 1.312,000,000
an increase from 1,161,000.000, to
which Asia will add 350.000,000
bushels. As against this enormous
yield the entire crop of North Ameri
ca is placed at only 560,000,000 bush
els. These figures- show conclusively
why American wheat is not so much
in demand as formerly.
Another element that must be taken
into consideration in connection with
tho figures of the balance of trade is
the fact that since the war the mer
chant marine of the United States has
steadily declined, until now this coun
try pays aa high as $100,000,000 to
foreign crews and ship-owners for car
rying Amerioan goods. The expense

under this Lead is sometimes estimated
as high as $150,000,000. This, of
course, adds to the amount of gold
which has "to be shipped abroad to
meet payments, and under the present
condition of affairs no change is likely
to occur.
It will be seen, therefore, from this
presentation that the question of ex
ports and imports has reached a point
where it forebodes a serious situation
It adds another problem to confront
an administration which is already
overburdened with perplexities, and
will have to be taken into account
wheu the framers of the next tariff bill
begin their important work.
Greham a Democrat.
8t. Louis Republic.
The question has often been asked
since the installation of the present
administration if Judge Gresham had
really become a Democrat or was sim
ply a discontented Republican serving
the prescpt administration because of
bis personal belief in the patriotism
and honesty of President Cleveland.
To-day Senator Vest, of Missouri,
called on the Secretary of State.
Gresham and Vest are old and very
warm personal friends. They had not
met before since the day before the
Democratic National Convention at
Chicago, when Senator Vest in pass
iug through Chicago called npon
Gresham and lunched with bim. To
day, when the Missouri Senator called
at the State Department to see Mr.
Gresham, the Secretary grasped his
hand warmly and said:
"Vest, when we last met at Chica
o, before the meeting of tbe National
Convention, you little thought when
we next met I would be a Democratic
Cabinet officer at Washington. "
"That is so," said Vest. "I al
ways knew thit your associations were
Democratic, that you thought like a
Democrat and talked like a Democrat.
did not think you would be in so
soon, but I am glad to see you."
"Ir.'ll, Vest," said he. "here I am,
by , I am the best Democrat in
Washington."
The Dog and the Tgg.
Lincoln Courier.
Dog and snake stories are not nu
merous in oar vocabulary; but here is
one we must dispose of. it is said
that the best way to break a dog from
ticking eggs is to pat down a little
powder about the egg and run a little
ine out from where the egg lies and
watch the dog, and when it goes to
pick up the egg, have the powder
ashed off. A gentleman of this town
tells how he once broke his dog from
the egg habit FTe says he picked a
small hole in an egg, emptied the con
tents and filled the shell fall of pow
cr. He plated it at the end of a
arrow sprinkle of powder and sat
down to await results, it was not
oDg till the dog espied the egg and
roceeded towards getting the same.
Whereupon the match was applied to
the powder, and jut as tbe dog got
tbe egg in his mouth the burning pow
er reached the egg. Thj next thine
the gentleman proceeded to do was to
00k about for the dog. tie declares !
that by tbe most diligent search he
was able to find only one leg and a
piece of the d )g's tail npon tbe roof
of the smokehouse. And, strange to
say, Dir. JJisaucr a aog oas never Deen
nown to suck an egg since.
A Mountain Rilpe Disappear.
Panama, March 24. A tremendous
ni destructive phenomenon has oc-
urred in tbe Department of Cauca, in
the Republic of Colombia. The vol-
cano or sotara naa Deen uousuany
ctive. and the Deople in that region
were greatly excited by tbe rumbliDg
f the earth and the extraordinary vi
olence of the volcanic eruption.
Suddenly, while the volcano was
belching forth flame and smoke to a
great height, the tarth began to shake
an if a most iolent convulsion were
in progress, and tbe mountain ridge
called 6Vuz Loma suddenly sank along
its entire extension. Tbe inhabitants
in the vicinity who had a chance to
escape fled in terror from the scene,
and not too soon, as the sunken ridge
dammed up three rivers and added
devastation to the terrors of earth
quake and volcano.
Twelve persons are known to have
perished and many cattle were de
stroyed, and more destruction is
feared, as the rivers whose usual chan
nels have been obstructed are ruing
rapidly.
