STARTLED THE FAMILY
Young Elliott F. Shepard Treats His
Folks to Another Sensation.
HE IS WEEDED TO A WIDOW.
The Grandson of “lilliam 11. Vanderbilt
Follov‘os Up His College Escapade by
Contracting a. Marriage Which
His Mother \Vouldn’t Sanction.»
New York, April 12.—Young Elliott F.
Shepard, grandson of William H. Van-
derbilt, startled his millionaire rela-
tives yesterday by marrying. He is
only 20 years old and is still dependent
for his income upon his mother, the
widow of Colonel Elliott F. Shepard.
The bride acknowledges that she is
25 years old. There can be no doubt
She is a widow.
Mrs. Esther Potter was her name until
yesterday. Her first husband, Alfred
Potter, died four years ago.
Mrs. Esther Potter’s name is not in
the city directory for 1896, but in the
1895 volume she appears as the widow
of Alfred Potter, .living at 225 West
Forty-third street. Among the tenants
there last night no one remembered
Mrs. Potter. Neither did the janitor.
But then he is a newcomer.
The rent of the flats at 225 run from
$25 a month up to $40. Unmarried wom-
en have their names over some of the
letter boxes. The famous “Soubrette
row” is near at hand, and the neighbor-
hood has its fair share of that class of
tenants.
No One \Vil-‘l Talk.
At the magnificent home of the bride’s
mother-in-law last night Mrs. Shepard
could not be seen. She sent down word
to a reporter that the Rev. Dr. John
Hall of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church had performed the ceremony in
the afternoon and that she was too
much agitated to say any more.
Dr. Hall absolutely refused to say one
word about the wedding. He was urged
specially to say whether he had married .
the pair at the request of Mrs. Shepard
or without her knowledge. On this
point, also, he refused to speak.
Another connection of the Shepard
family said that the bridegroom’s moth-
er knew nothing of her son’s intentions
until yesterday morning, when he sent
to her an invitation to be present. She
did not accept it. Neither was any
member of the young' man’s family
present.
It was said yesterday that the bride
was on the stage for a time as a ’sou-
brette in a second rate company and
that her stage name was Martins. This
fact could not be confirmed. -
Chauncey M. Depew, who is connect-
ed with the Shepard family, expressed
great surprise when told of the mar-
riage last night. He said he had not
had the faintest inkling that such a
thing was about to happen. He had
never heard of Mrs. Esther Potter. He
deplored the whole affair and said it
would be all the greater shock. to young
Shepard’s mother. because the young-
ster had been behaving splendidly of
late.
His expulsion some time ago from col—
lege for misconduct with women had
been a great blow to his mother, btt
since that t‘Wie she had been cheered
greatly by the reports that had reached
her of her boy’s good behavior.
The tutor who accompanied him on
his recent tcur around the world had
eulcrired hiuh‘y his charge’s character
and disposition. and it was fondly hoped
that all his wild oats had been sown.
A Mother’s Sorrows.
Dr. Depew had not heard the rumors
that the bridegroom in the last few
months had been a frequent visitor to a
house in West Forty-seventh street. be-
tween Ninth and Tenth avenues, where
Mrs. Potter had rooms. The whole Van-
derbilt connection seem to have been to-
tally unaware of even the existence of
this fascinating widow until yesterday.
Mr. Depew scouted the idea that the
young man had ever given evidence of
any but the best mental ability and said
his disposition always was charming
and attractive. The last time Dr. De-
pew saw the boy was in Central park
last Wednesday, when he was driving a
four-in-hand to a breaking cart. Horses
and vehicle were his mother’s property.
Only yesterday Mr. Depew was talk-
ing with “the Vanderbilt boys,” as he
calls them, meaning young Elliott’s un—
cles, and none of them mentioned the
approaching marriage, showing that
they knew nothing of it.
None of the family knew where the
happy pair went after the ceremony.
There was a report that they would sail
for Europe. Whether the bridegroom’s
mother will continue his allowance, un-
der the circumstances, is another ques-
tion to’ which no satisfactory answer
could be had last night. She has had a
series of severe shocks, which have
somewhat affected her spirits.
The death of her husband under the
knife 'while doctors were performing an
operation upon him for appendicitis was
the first one. Then came the eiopement
of a daughter, Alice V., with Dave Hen-
nen Morris, son of the racing and. lot—
tery man. Next followed the expulsion
'of Elliott from Yale, and to crown all_
comes this wedding.

the proposed raid into the Transvaal I
had the sanction of. imperial authority.
Dr. James'n said that MoijVillough-
by’s letter, in which he asserted his be-
lief that the Transvaal raid was under-
taken with the assent of the imperial
authorities, was not entitled to the im—
portance which the committee had at-
tached to it. Willoughby, he said, had
suddenly learned that the officers who
had participated in the raid were about
to be deprived of their commissions, in
which event they would be ruined, and
had therefore written to the war office
in the strongest and the most concise
terms, with a view of avoiding, if possi—
ble, the loss of his commission.
The chairman asked Dr. Jameson if
the expression “imperial authority,” as
employed by Major Willoughby in his
references ~to private
with the witness, meant the authority
of the Cape government.
Dr. Jameson answered: “Yes; in
most cases it meant the British high
commissioner.”
When pressed to give a more definite
answer the Witness said: “I am not is
the habit of lying.” He added that b4
had not said that the government ba'ck-
ed the Transvaal movement, though
Major Willoughby might easi‘y have
got that impression from the cha ractnr
of the talks which they had had to-
gether.
Sir John Willoughby then took the
stand and admitted the much discussed
letter was drafted by B. F. HawksleV.
.South Africa company. The witness
said he supposed Dr. Jameson saw i.
before it was posted, and he was hor"’~
fled to discover he had not. He, .‘r
John, knew perfectly well he couli
neither retain his own commission nor
accept it back. Here the witness was
greatly moved.
Later Sir John Willoughby said he
did not defend the wording .of the let—
ter. Time pressed and words did not
seem o! importance. He could not give
a better version than Dr. Jameson of
the private conversations which had
taken place between them. His mind
was rather jumbled regarding the se—
quence of events. He admitted, how-
ever, he was quite wrong in using the
words “imperial authorities.”
