tag him down. Walker then ran off two hun

other negro men. Walker got a fanes rail
and cam® rapidly back, encouraged by th*
other*, who had alu gotten rolls. H* sennit-
ad Winter and broke hla arm tho first blow,

MRS. A.T. STEWART’S DEATH.
Mrs. Alexander T. 8ce*#rft slmsys oalUd
bet liimUnd ••Hotej’' aud he aliraj# exiled her
“Ny cent.
No«r that tbe million#]re #nd blf widow hav#
paired from earth It laaald th*y oeror spoke h*r*h
)j to each other, hot alwajA lived a devoted and
bsppj pair.
Mr# vie wait survived her husband ten year# and
tlx months. Her death vaa comparatively paid*
!iw The fooeral took place Thur day. At oue
o'clock there waa a private service at the
neanilful marble palace. The remains ware ta
ken to Garden Ciiy and the lervicea were held
In the cathedral of the lucaraatloo which wa«
erected tbrouch Urs. Etc ward's muLlfloonoe. Af*
ler the Mivicea the remains w«re deposited in
tho crypt under the altar and elaborate precau-
tlfiu will be taken to tuard afaintt a desecration
of the grave.
The death of lira. Stewart aroua*a a fresh later*
est in the butband. One of the mo*t remarkable
thing* about Alexander T. 8toirart was the brevity
of hia wUl. It would occupy only lour or five
inches and he dhpoacd of fifty or sixty million
dollars in leas than five lines. Bald he:
Yim—All my property and eatate. of may and
•very kind and description, and wherever situat
ed. I give aud device and bequeath to my dear
wl « , Cornelia JI. Stewart, her helm and auigos
forever.»
After appointing Judge Henry HUton hlaexecn*
ter and directing him bilefty about the .affaire of
the ectato be added; "For which ter vie?, as a
mark of my regard, I give to tald Huary Hilton
•1000,000.”
There were a number of legacies to various
friends, employes aud servants In the household.
When the death of Hr. fitewart was made public
lira Stewart waa considered the richest woman in
tbe United States. When the bequest of all her bus*
baz.d s property to her was published in toe dally
papers tho cnormr.ua burden put‘on hex aged
shoulders was universally believed to be greater
than iho could custalu. Fortune favored her, how
ever, and she sold to Hcory Hilton all her right
aud title In the business of A. T. Stewart & Co., for *
the sum of fUOQOOOO cash, which sum had
been bequeathed to Henry Hilton by her hus*
band. Whether this was la aocorlance with a
pre understand log of Hr. Stewart’s desire was
never publicity explained, though It was an
open lecret that such was the fact. But that fAct
in nowise altered the legal aspect of tha case. Boo
was the absolute legatee aud could have done with
the property precisely as she pleased. That her
action In porting with a bualness believe 1 to be
worth ftom twenty to thirty million! of dollars for
tbe comparative trifilog sum of one million, and
that a gift, was the sensation of tbe day and excit
ed widespread comment.
The tpeftof Stewart’s body Is still a mystery.
81noe the theft various explanations have atdif-
fexent times been asserted, the most frequent»tate-
ir etit belnf that the body had been privately re
covered by Judge nilcon and placed In the m«nso-
leum at Garden City, but no statement hu been
author I/co or supported by any show of proof, and
the whereabouts of the body isstlll aiccrct, which
the death of Mrs. Stewart may finally open the
door to disclosing.
