PAnin, Nov. 10. Dr. Tlioinnt W.
Evans, tlio rich nml famous American
dontlst, died suddenly yesterday morm
Ing In his seventy-sixth yonr, surviving
Ills wlfo only 11 few month.
One of Dr. Evans's claims to dlstlnc
tlon wns his part In tlio escape of ex
Empress Eugonlo. Aftor tho pro
feet of pollco hud told Eugcnlo that
hor remaining hero whllo tlio em

being already lit tho gardens of tho
Tulllorlea mid clumorlng for hor life,
sho tied to Dr. Evans, who linil onco
troutcd her and others of tho royal
fniully, and ho secretly escorted her
and it woman companion through
many dangers to Trouvlllo, where ho
persuaded Sir .John Hurgoyno to take
tho women In Ids' yneht to tho Islu ol
Wight, whence thoy proceeded to Lon
don, and weru well received by tin'
royul family.
It Is related thnt while tho party
was on the way to Tronvllle, as thoy
passed through Llslcu.v, Eugcnlo, for
getting for a moment hur position, on
seeing a policeman 111 treating a man,
called outi "I am the empress, and I
command you to lot that man got'
Dr. Evans, however, explained tho
outcry by telling the policeman thai
his companion was a lunatic who wui
traveling wlti( hor physician and at
tendant. Othor lllco stories aro told of tho
trip, and Dr. Evans' Ingenuity must
haro been taxed to tho utmost to muko
the escape safe, but It Is inld that his J
roatly wit never once licscrtcd him,
however trying tho circumstances.
When Dr. Evans was In Amer
ica with his wife's body early this
fall ho announced that ho intended
to dovoto his fortune, estimated
between thirty nnd thirty-five million
dollars, to charitable and educational
Institutions In thnt country after ho
had provided for a few relatives. One
of his projects was to establish n
great and partly free dental college
In Philadelphia, lie also communi
cated with tho heads of various unl

Dr. Evans located here In HIO He
soon achieved a wide reputation and

crowned bonds of Kuropo save Queen
Vleloua, Among his curlier patrons
was the prcHont e.ur of Russia, whoso
teeth h attended when that mon
arch was In hl.s teens. He was as In
timato with Napoleon 111 as any com
moner could be, nnd It is said that the
foundation of his fortuno was duo to
that friendship, the. thon emperor

I.llil.UTV, Mo. Nov. 17. Judge
Droaddus thl-. morning sentenced
William Carr, the self-confessed mur
derer of his little daughtor, to hang
December 17.
In passing r.ciitcncc the court said:
"Carr, you lire charged in tlio in
dictment, under four counts, with
murder lu the llrst degree. The fourth
and Inst one Is to tho effect that you
committed the murder of your little
child. You are charged with having
willfully, meditatively and deliber
ately committed this deed. To this
charge you hate pleaded. As you
made no defense, I felt It my duty to
appoint .such attorneys as tho gravity
of the iilIVusc demanded. I therefore
appointed Messrs. Allen and San
dusky, two of among tho most promi
nent lawyers in the state, men of the
highest character and standing. 1
felt implicit confidence that whatever
could be done for you In an honorable
the situation, refused to act upon your
pica of guilty until all evidence could
be lnid before It, so that It might bo
shown over and beyond your plea of
guilty that you were guilty beyond all
reasonable doubt Had the evidence
left any doubt on my mind upon that
fact, It was my purpose to set aside
your pica and give the case to a jury
of your countrymen. Hut your con
fessions, admissions and the evidence
shows you arc guilty beyond doubt.
"Hello was a little 3-year-old-gIrl
your own child. Her raothor was dead
ami you had another wlfo. You left
home with tho child in your arms in
the middle of the day Sunday, October
10. You were soen by four witnesses,
the fourth one testifying that ho saw
the child's face: its eyes wore open
and it was alive. oil stated also that
she was alive. As to whether it was
alive when you left homo was an lm-
portant question. If carried away dead,
In tho very nature of things other per
sons wero connected with the murder
and you alono not responsible.
"i'.ut the murderer lias been found
In him
who uow sits before me, tho
sol f-eotifessed murderer of Ills own 3-
ear-old child. Your lllinsy excuse
that the child was quarrelsome and
disagreeable to your wife's l) year-old
son cannot bo accepted by the court.
The motive must have been a more
powerful one, and If another may have
mid any nana m tuts crime, nnu you,
1 in your hours of confinement and
solitary meditation, find nothing to
I boftcn your heart aud disclose the
'truth then you are simply not hu-
, man. Men and women commit many
i crimes und for many motivos. You
I assign no tnotivu that is worthy of
consideration. If your confession and
.other statements are to bo believed,
I you stand a singular instance In tho
annals of crime; a confessed and con-
victed murderer without rcusonable
i motive for your crime. In the exe
cution of my stern duty under the
j.lw UIi ,y 0ath of olllce, nothing re
ma ns for me to do but to pronounce
the sentence of thu law.
"The judgment of the court is, that
you be, by thu sheriff, carried back to
"thu county jail and there safely kopt
by him until Friday, tho 17th day of
December. iSl'7, on which day you
shall be taken thence to the sallows
:ln,i bunged by the neck until you nre
dead Aud may God havo mercy upon
you."
Carr never raised his head during
the entire time the Judgo was passing
sentence. Ho looked somewhat pale
mid his head was Inclined a little to
one side und his eyes were almost
closed.
Kvur slnco his trial last Saturday
Carr has been greatly changed. He
fore then he was ready and willing at
all times to talk, but now ho lies in
his cell bunk intuh of tho time und
when visitors call at the jail hides his
face and will havo nothing to say. IIo
often weeps, and remorse appenrs to
havo come upon him in Us deepest
form.
Tho opinion has been expresses)
that Carr's breaking down Ls due to
his wifu's ttbsotice from his trial. If
this is true his infatuation for her has
not been changed by tho disappoint
ment, null her seeming desurtlon of
him. He has since wanted the courts
to arrange so that his living daughter
