Blloxl, Miss., Aug. 30.-Gen. Alex ander P. Stewart, one of the last, two surviving lieutenant generals of the Confederate States Army, died nt his home here to-day. Although in his 87th year, and suffering from the in firmities or old age, Gen. Stewart's (death was sudden, and came as a dis tinct surprise to his relatives and friends. Gen. Stewart had been in failing health here at the home of his son, Dr. A. P. Stewart, Jr., for a year or more. Death was due to heart disease. A native of Tennessee, Gen. Stew art lived the greater part of his life in that State, but of late had been making his home in Biloxi, where he found the salt air and pine woods of gerat benefit to his health. He was born at Hogersville, Hawkins county, Tennessee., October 2, 1821, and re ceived his early education In that State. Later he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point and graduuted witb hon ors from that institution in June, 1842. At the outbreak of the war between the States he was commissioned as a brigadier-general In the Confederate States Army, made a general in 1863 and received his commission as a lieutenant general one year later. The close of the war found him in command of the Army of Tennessee. Only three months ago Gen. Ste phen D. Lee, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans,who held the command of a lieutenant general In the Confederacy, answered tho last roll call, and his death left only two officers of the Confederacy of equal rank. These were Gens. Stewart and Simon Bolivar Buckner, of Kentucky. Gen. Stewart's death to-day, therefore, leaves Gen. Buck ner as tho only surviving lieutenant general in the Confederate States Army. After resigning from the United States army, prior to the war between the States, Gen. Stewart filled the chair of mathematics and national philosophy at Cumberlnnd University, Tennessee. A. "er the close of hostilities be tween the States h? gave himself up to tho education of Southern youth and served frou' 1874 to 1886 as chancellor of 'he University of Mis sissippi. In ld90 he was appointed one of the commissioners of the Chickamauga National Park and from that time until he moved to Biloxi he made his home at Chatta nooga, Tenn. Gen. Stewart spent the last years of his life devoting himself largely to literary work. He was regarded as an authority upon the stirring events which had marked the country dur ing his lifo, and several high honors were conferred upon him In connec tion with this work, among them a fellowship in the Royal Historical Society. Gen. Stewart married at Warren, Ohio, in 1845, Miss Harriet Byron Chase. She died in 1898. Tho body was shipped shortly be fore midnight to St. Louis, Mo.,where Gen. Stewart lived for a number of years. The funeral will probably be held In St. .-.oula on Wednesday. Best Treatment for a Burn.
