Mervin Thompson and Prof. Hadley Face Eech Other. St. Paul, Minn., July 19. About 125 people attended a hard glove fight to a finish, down river, this afternoon, between Mervin Thompson of Cleveland ami Prof. Hadley, (colored.) of St. l\ul. Five rounds were fought when the referee gave the fight to Hadley on fouling by Thompson after being warned by Keferee Cardiff against a repetition of fouling, which consisted of clinching and throwing Hadley over his head. Thompson’s superior strength gave him the advantage in the first three rounds when the superior skill and hard hitting of Hadley be gan to tell and Thompson showed signs of being winded. In the last two rounds Thomp son stood up to hard punishment with no re sistance except in foul wrestling, which de cided the fight against him. Thompson was badly punished both in the face and on the body. A BRUTAL AFFAIR. A Farmer Severely Cha»tise* a Young (lirl. Lebaxox, Pa., July 18. The inhabitant* of Foush valley, along the Blue mountain, were much excited when they learned that a stalwart farmer named Steward Klein had unmercifully beaten a young woman, aged 19. named Sarah Linke. with a horsewhip. Miss Linke was an adopt ed member of the Klein family, and yester day, when Mrs. Klein returned bom from a three hours'absence to the village,she tounnd the bouse in disorder, the baby very ill and Miss Linke locked in her room. Mrs. Klein broke in the door and the girl was compell ed to explain. She said she had locked her self in to escape Farmer Klein, who had as saulted her. The farmer proved by his son and another witness that he nad not left the field during the afternoon and the young woman insisted that she told the truth. The farmer then chastised her until she confessed that she had lied. Miss Linke has since dis appeared and it is feared, has taken her life. Small Pox. St. Fact., Minn., July 19. Small pox is raging in epidemic form at Scotland, according to advices from Yankton, Dak. Twenty-five cases were reported today and several deaths have occurred. GEN. GRANT. The General on the Decline.—The Turn ing Point in his Rally Passed.—A Quiet Day. Mt. McGregor. July 18. General Grant has had a quiet afternoon He spent probablv an hour altogether on the porch, but rested in his room m >st ot the day. The condition noted this morning did not materially change this afternoon. The gen eral is quite weak an has only partly re covered his spirits. There has been no un usual pain, and nothing to excite special un easiness among the family or upon his own part, but the indications this morning that ttie rally had reached its height and turned, are confirmed in as mild a form as could be expected. Such conversation as the Gener al has indulged in to-day was bv writing, and was brief, as he seemed inclined to keep per fectly quiet He felt no inclination to do any work in the way of composition. At l)r. Shrady’s suggestion, Mrs. Grant has sent for a copy of the "Autocrat of the Break fast Table,” hoping to interest the General’s mind in it next week. When the General re tired, about 8 o'clock, l)r. Douglass, w ho is again left alone with the patient, felt hope ful that he would rest as well as usual during the night. Mt. McGregor, July 19. General Grant passed a very quiet night. Ills pulse this morning was 7l‘, and fuller and stronger than yesterday. The benefits of a fair night's rest have been supplemented to day by improved conditions made possible by the cool, clear weather. To-day the General sat upon the piazza much of the time. His pulse during the day showed no change. He read the papers and altogether passed a restful and uneventful day. General Grant retired at 8 o'clock. At midnight the patient's mental and physical condition seemes to better than during the morning and Dr. Douglass anticipated a quiet night. MOKE INDIAN TUOUBLES. The Northern Cheyennes Fighting Among lhem»elve>.—Troops Kent to Quell the Disturbance. Kout Keogh, July 19. News of'serious trouble among the north ern Cheyenne Indians has been received here. The following official telegram was received late last night: “The commanding officer at Fort Custer reports that Agent Stevens for the Kosehud and Tongue river Indians ot the northarn Cheyenne reserve is at Custer with Acting Agent Burslow ot the Crows and that Stevens reports there is dan ger ot serious trouble between the Rosebud Indians under Two Moons and Little Wolf and the Tongue River Indians headed by Black Wolf and White Bill. The latter art attempting to force the Rosebud Indians to live on Tongue river and threaten to kill Agent Stevens if he atrempts to interfere with their plans.” The report says the Indians are much ex cited over the matter. An exciting report has also reached here that the northern Chey ennes have broken out and they are led to the war path by news from the southern Cheyennes in Indian Territory. Still another report says that in an engagement between Carpenter and Robinson's cow bows five cow boys and Indians were killed. These reports all seem well founded and there is great ex citement among the ranchers and settlers on the Tongue and Rosebud rivers. A detach ment of soldiers under Major J. II. Logan left here this morning lor the scene of the disturbance. A TRIPLE TRAGEDY Caused by the Revival of an Old Orudge. —The Fourth Meets With a Like Fate. Louisville, Ky., July 19, Meagre particulars of a triple tragedy at Stepstone, Ky., today, are just received here. The trageday grew out of n revival of an old grudge between Town Marsnal, I'e'ry Oak ley and Jno. Smith. A very few cords were exchanged belore Oakley fired on Smith, lietore Smith could return fire he was shot dead in his tracks, and Nute Osborne, a friend of Smith’s, came up to take his part, when he was himself shot just below the heart, dying in half an hour afterwards. Henry Smith, a brother of John, was next shot twice; once in the head and in the hreast under the heart. He died at 9 o'clock last night. The fight occurred in II. C Hooker Co’s store and it does not appear at all dear who did the shooting, which was all done with pistols. A man named McGuire was going between his house and the store, with a loaded shot gun in hand, when he wa« fired on by Oak lev, without effect. McGuire returned fire, the shot taking effect in Oakley’s right eye and body. Oakley was removed to the resi dence ol Major Cassidy, where he lies in a critical condition. All was quiet at a late hour last night. An inquest will be held today. More trouble is expected as both sides are well represented and full ol fight. MEHIOUSLY INJURED. One ol llarniim's Helpers Attacked by an Enraged Elephant. Nashi a. N. H.. July Ik. James Sweeney of Manchester, one of the helpers in charge of the elephant herd of Harnum’s circus, which was showing in Nashua, wa« badly injured by one of the largest elephants this afternoon. He was unfastening the beast's feet from the post when the elephant struck him with his foot and with his tusk*, and then taking him on his trunk threw him to the ground several feet away. Visitors were much frightened at the accident, which created considerable confusion. The man was taken to the com pany’a car, and was found to be injured about the breast and shoulders, and alto internally, but it is probable he will recover. The keep ers attacked the infuriated elephant with forks, and completely subdued him after much resistance. Train Wracked. El Paso. Tex. July 19. The east bound train on the Atchison, ToprkajA Same Fe Railroad, which left here yesterday morning was wrecked near Wal lace, N. M. by striking a culvert which had been washed out owing to the rain storm. The engineer and two firemen were killed. Criminal Assault. New Yoke, July 19. Four men followed Ella A. Callahan, aged 17, in Central Park and two of them crimi nally assaulted ber. From descriptions given tbe park police have arrested Wm. Lnflel and Daniel Barry, whom tbe girl identifies, the former as oae of tbe party and tbe latter as one of tbe assailants. BUSINESS TROUBLES. Failure o( John Roach, the Ureal Ship Builder—Four Hundred Men to be Discharged Today—A Uloomy Outlook. Cbkstib, Pa.. July 19. The failure of John Koach has caused con siderable excitement here, where his solvency has never been questioned. Up to within a year ago his weekly pay roll was never less than $15,tf00, distributed among 1500 men and boys Now the pay roll is a little over $7000, but this will be reduced tomorrow for it is the intention of the firm to lay otl about 400 men in the morning. They will be paid all that is owing them. Onlv enough men will be kept to finish the ship Comal, lving in the New Jersev channel. The ship yard is separate corporation and was not included in the assignment The yard will be aftected, however, as Mr. Koach is a large stockholder in Chester Rolling Mills. Blast Furnace and Combination Iron Steel Co,, located here. It is difficult to foretell the result on these places, each of which employs a great mam mon. The work on the cruisers Boston and Chicago,Und Puritan will virturllv be sus pended and the heretofore busy yard will present a deserted and dull look. None but the kindest and most synipathic expressions are heart! for Koach and the hope is that he will come through all right. As the city de pends largely on the ship yard and other en terprises in which Koach is interested, the outlook for the coming winter is very gloomy and idleness and poverty stare many in the face. Boston. July 19. The Herald's Newport special gives the following as S ‘cretarv Whitnev*s reply to the question as to the probable effect of the Koach failure upon the government. Secre tary Whitney said “I do not think it will have any ertect upon the government. I am very sorry tor Mr Koach. I am always sorry when a man falls into such difficulties The government has one vessel in his shipyard and two in the New York building, but the amounts are nearly all paid on them. 1 saw in the morn ing papers that Mr. Koach thinks 1 am re sponsible tor the trouble, or at least, that I could give relief; but the government owes only the amount still due upon the Dolphin which would not he enough to put him upon sure footing again. The affair is unfortu nate but 1 cannot help liiui-" FAILED TO PEN ETK ATE THE ICE. The Alert Abolition* her Effort* in llud« non liny. Ottawa, Out July IN. The failure of the government steamer Alert to penetrate the ice at Hudson sirai's is regarded as a mtioiis blow to the scheme by which it is proposed to establish a suiuiik r route via Hudson Hay nod straits to Europe j for the shipment of produce of the North- j west territories. The Alert was sent out for the purpose of following up observation* taken by the government steamer Neptune last year, which were undertaken with a view to ascertain whether or not this route would be practicable tor commercial purposes Sev eral attempt* have already been made in both the United State* and Great Britain to raise capital to allow those who secured the charter from the Dominion to construct a railroad from Winnepeg to g>>mt point on Hudson Bay, but so far without success The government only sent out the expedition to satisfy those who oppose the Canadian Pacific railroad as the only outlet for pro ducts of the Northwest. not expecting they would succeed in estrblishing the feasibility of the Hudson Bay route. Since the Alert returned to St John’s N. F., those who until now have had some faith in the success of the expedition, have aban doned all idea of its resulting in anything hut failure. THE CLEVELAND Ml KIKE. The striker* Paid OH.—The Piste Mill jUcii 1'iidrridcd Whether to Kesume Work or Not. Cl.KVKI.A8D. July 18. The strikers are being paid off today, and as each got his money his number cheek was taken in and he was dismissed. There was no trouble, only mutterings and whispered con sultations The plate mill men have not yet agreed whether they will go back to work or not. Upon them depends the failure or suc cess of the strike. If they go in the com pany will win; if not the struggle will be re sumed. The strikers sent In Kev. Father Kolaszewski, their priest, to deny the ru mors of their armed drilling. He says the drilling is by the Catholic Knights, anil not for the purpose of resisiting or attacking the police. The charges and countercharges against the police for brutality in last Wednesday's battle are being ventilated. Some friends of the strikers assert that manv of the police were under the influence of liquor. This is untrue, though there is no doubt that heads were hit that contained no thought of riot. _ A NARROW ESCAPE. sixty Men Overcome by Foul Air in n Knilroud Tunnel.—Two Suffocated. CliAMHKRSBURO, Pa.,.TII1V IS. Excitement prevails at Itoxhury, 14 miles from Chambersburg East evening when the men did not return from the tunnel of the South Pennsylvania railroad the contractor sent a man to ascertain the reason. When he did not return, a second man was sent in, and upon his non-return two more were sent in. They did not come hack, when the con tractor and a posse went in and found all the workmen and those who had been sent to their rescue prostrated from foul air and smoke from the blasting. They were hur riedly carried to the mouth, when two Ital ians were found dead, and several others are not expected to live. There were sixty men in the tunnel, all of whom were more or less overcome. The men have made very narrow escapes before from death by foul air, and frequently have been obliged to crawl to the mouth on their hands and knees. Arrivals at Newport. Nkwpoht, July 19. TheU. 8.

So large a colony of Japanese reside in Vienna that a Buddhist temple is to be erected there. The decorations and fur niture will be sent from Japan. There is a deepening impression in the public mind that the opinion of the Attor ney General on the Dolphin case, reflects the views of Augustus 11 Garland rather than the laws of the United States. Commodore Roach will go to Washing ton and talk over the Dolphin affair with Secretary Whitney. We do not appre hend that Admiral Whitney will be able to discover any structural defects in Com modore Roach's remarks on this interest ing occasion. The Concord School of Philosophy is already at work discussing the "llereness of the Now,” the “llenceness of the Sweet Subsequently” and kindred subjects of equally pressing importance in their hearing upon the price of spring wheat and mess pork. The people of the South are hopeful of increased prosperity in the near future, and capital seems to have been inspired with like confidence. In the last six I months, notwithstanding the general de pression in business, more than $3(1,000, 000 have been invested in mining and manufacturing interests in that section All the great branches of manufactures are included in these investments. New Hampshire retains in its eonstitu ton a clumsy provision which provides that when a vacancy occurs in the State Senate it must he tilled by the Legislature electing in joint session one ot the two de feated candidates who at the last election j had the highest number of votes. The j result of this strange arrangement com pels a district in case its senator dies to be represented by n man opposed politi cally to the majority of its voters. The complications which would arise in case such a situation as was present in the Illinois Legislature should occur in New Hampshire can be readily imagined. As the trial of Kiel approaches, many sensational reports are being spread about as to the revelations that will be made. It is intimated that many white men occupy ing responsible positions are implicated in the late half breed rebellion, and that their complicity will be shown by the de fence. This kind ot rumor is not very credible, though it is possible that Cana dians of the same stripe as the Americans who foment Indian wars for speculative purposes may have given Kiel some back ing. Just now the Dominion partisan or gans are each trying to make it appear that the other side supplied Kiel's back ers. but no evidence of the slightest value has hitherto been produced. It is proba ble that the plea of insanity will be urged on behalf ol the prisoner, and his diary, now being published in instalments by a Toronto paper, contains plenty of matter well calculated to strengthen the plea. It is hardly possible to conceive a more infamous convict system than that which prevails in several of the Southern States, j notably in South Carolina and Georgia. There is a difference.however,in the man ner in which the outrages which have been perpetrated are treated by the authorities oi the two States. Itt the former State they have been investigated under in*true lions trom the governor, and the result of the investigation is the arousing of a pub lie sentiment which bids fair to result in the abolition of the entire system of leasing convicts In Georgia, however, the authorities seem disposed to white wash outrages which are so inlamous as to bo almost unnamable. The physician of the State penitentiary went to the con vict farm, where the convicts are hired by State Senator Smith, and made a report of the state of affairs, which the governor promptly suppressed. It has been since learned that the physician declared the convicts w ere being starved, that the sani tary condition was fearful, and that the morals of the chain gang wero too bad to lie expressed in writing, the men and women being all chained together, and made to eat. live and sleep thus. He pronounced the whole camp in a state of filth, both morally and otherwise. Yet in the face of these allegations the governor issued an order dismissing the complaints which had been made against this convict farmer. Suicide with a Caution. A suicide, probably unprecedented in its method, uxs committed on Monday last at Oataro, in Dalmatia. An Austrian artillery officer named Berghammer shot himself with an old-fashioned muzzle loading cannot. He rammed down a charge of powder and a shell, fired the touch hole with a match tied to a slick, and was blown to pieces.—Vail Malt Gazette. The Letter was Sent. A young lady waa engaged to a wealthy young manufacturer. The day was aet for the marriage; the gueata were invited. But a few days before the day appointed for the wedding the prospective bride learned that the firm to which her betrothed belonged was inaolve t. She immediately wrote him a 1 letter breaking the engagement and bidding him farewell. It was sent off in the greatest haste, as there was no more than time to atop the preparations for the wedding. Two hours after it had been posted she learned that the rumor of the firm’s insolvency was false Accompanied by her parents she hastened to the Post Office to I demand the return of her letter. i The Postmaster politely declined to give it up. The young lady insisted, but the Post master remained firm The parents began to argue the case It was useless. They be came excited their daughter became hyater ical. and there was a scene. But appeals, entreaties, tears, wringing of hands, and threats of fainting were all in vain; the po lire Postmaster had but one answer. The rule admitted of nj exception, and the letter was already, in the eyes of the law.the prop erty of the young man. It was sent, and saved him from the great misfortune of mar rying a mercenary wife. More than one tale j has been written founded on the incident of a letter being lost or intercepted. Perhaps it would he well, by wav of variety, tor some rising author to found bis next story upon a letter that was delivered againt the sober second thought of the writer.—-Vrsv fork I.edger. The Boats of Gold. The Museum of Northern Antiquities in Copenhagen has just been enriched by a re markable discovery made at a small place nesr Thisted, on the wot coast of Jutland, Denmark. Two men digging in a gravel pit in the neighborhood of an old bunal mound, called Thor’s mound, struck an earthen ves sel with their picks, disclosing a number of gold pieces. On examination it was found that an earthen vessel of about 7 inches di ameter at the rim. and covered with a flat stone, had been buried about a foot and a half below the surface, and this had con tained about a hundred little golden boats, curiously worked, varying in size from 3 to 44 inches. A gunwale and frames of thin strips of bronze had first been formed, and these bad been covered with thin gold plates, some of which were further ornamented with impressions of concentric rings. The boats, of which only a few are in a fair state of preservation, are tapered at both ends, and resemble the Danish fishing craft of the present day. This discovery, which may be regarded as a deposited treasure of votive offerings, and belongs doubtless to the close of the bronze age, proves that frame-built vessels were already known at that time, and that man was not satisfied with the hollowed out trunks of trees The gold of which these little fishing models are composed was valued at £27, which amount, together with a gra tuity, has been forwarded to the finders, who are both poor men. Chamber's Journal. Herat. An English officer who recently visited the wailed rity of western Afghanistan writes: The Herat defences are by no means to be despised, even as they stand, and I hope ere long they will be really formidable. We were received with a welcome which was almost enthusiastic. The Kabulti soldiery especially expressed their pleasure at having British officers on their side. Many of the men recognized me as having been to Kabul, and some fell out to salaarn and make them selves civil. The Mullahs, too, are un doubtedly on our side, and said ^t was a happy omen for Herat that British officers find entered it; yet when we started we hardly expected to be allowed to approach the city even. It is a mistake to suppose that Herat is a ruined city. There is a great dilapidation of the walls and defences in places, hut on the whofr they are certainly no worse than they were when Sanders reported on them 40 years ago. The city itself. Colonel Stewart says, is in better repair than any Persian citv he has se n. except Meshed.

During the recent visit of General Simon Buckner, of the Confederate army to Gen.

We have some on ours who failed to accom plish as much as they wished, or who did not get warmed up to the fight until it was all over, who have not had quite full satisfac tion The great majority, too, of those who did not go into the war have long since grown tired of the long controversy. We may now well look forward to a perpetual peace at home and a national strength that will screen us against anv foreign complications.

Paul Stevens, residing on the Hirer Hoad, in Sidney, an old gentleman over 80 years of age. met with an accident last week, which will probably prove fatal. He was coming from a field with a team and omitted to put a breeching on the horse. Sitting on the wagon body and hanging his feet down in front, he started out. The wagon ran against the horse, and the animal kicked, injuring the old gentleman very severly. One leg was broken. The funeral of the late M.

Rev Mr Gwynne conducted the services. The remains were placed in a tomb. At 10.15 o’clock Friday evening. as a a prominent young gentleman from Togua was driving with a lady on State street, he met two other teams, which were racing and therefore moving very rapidly. He attempted to pasa between them, hut there was not room, and a collision ensued between the three teams, his carriage be ing badly damaged. One of the others, which contained a voting man and two ladies, was capsized and the third suffered a broken axle. The occupants were all thrown out, but luck ily none were seriously injured. Among the prettv summer fabrics the cream veiling, mohairs and Algerienne fab rics. brocaded with tiny heather-colored leaves, buds, and the like, are effectively made up for dressy occasions, overskirts of changeable silk, whose shimmering lights re flect the colors of the figures in the light wool fabrics which form the overdress and bodice.

THE MAINE OFFICE*. Washington Cat-respondent* Bf Ant ardor's *oston Journal. The Maine Democrats here are divided in sentiment as to the appointment of Bird to be District Attorney. Some of them claim that, of the three candidates—Bird, Varney and —Varnev was the best qualified and the most popular man. They assert that bis pa pers were strongest, and that the sentiment of the Bench and Bar of the State was in his favor. But the President stated that he had been advised not to go to Bangor for his can didate, and*decided not to do so. Bird's prin cipal allies were Cleaves and Sweet, and it was claimed for him that he represented a good element of Maine’s democracy, and is well qualified. Edmund Wilson visited the White House and departments to-day. In his interview with the President he gave hit views as to a number of the Collectorships and Post offices and suggested the propriety of paying more attention to Maine matters. He learned that, although the Augusta Pott Office, the Port land Collectorship and tome other offices have received a good deal of attention, no decisions hive been reached. The President: lias no specific policy in regard to these offi ces. When he is sure he hat a good and acceptable man for an office Mr. j Wilaon thinks he will appoint him without reference to anything else. He infers that the Augusta Post Office is far from being settled, and the President has hit own reason* for letting the matter await further developments. As to the other offices, he thinks the President could make up his mind promptly if appealed to from a source to which he wished to give attention. Wilson will return to Maine. City Personals.

Zouave jackets of jet are worn over waists ot house dresses in black silk, satin or surab. Long sashes are worn with all sorts of dresses, and looped ail libitum, according to fancy. The struggle between French and En glish styles ol dress goes on quietly, but surely for all that. The most stylish collars and cuffs are cut with square ends. Plain colored ones are worn with house dresses. A little jeweled dagger pinning the cor sage bouquet to the dress front is the lat est caprice in fancy jewe'ry. Silk hose, in pale creams, blues, pinks, ami in black, are to be worn with slippers and low cut shoes this season. The newest breakfast caps for elderly ladies are made of heliotrope tulle, with a bow of satin ribbon of the same shade on the top. There is too much variety in the forms of dress at present. Contusion and bad taste are the most frequent results of the effort to he independent. Pinkish fawn is a lovely and popular color for tailor made costumes, and may be braided with either gold or silver and a darker fawn or tan braid. Hairdressing is becoming mere elabo rate. The sty le, however, is still to wear the hair arranged on top of the head. Silver collar buttons, studded with some tinv precious stone, rival those made of gold, which have so long been popular. Hats and bonnets are made of Persian etamines, embroidered with all colors of Persain designs, combined with gold, like those used by Oriental ladies. The finest parasols are the black or cream satin covered with plaited gauze or real Spanish lace, with ivory or ebony handles and hammered gold or silver tops. White toilets will be the rage for dressy afternoon wear this season, and organdie, mull. French nainsooK. and Swiss muslin, embroidered in sprigs anti dots, with flounces to match, are all popular fabrics tor these. Among new fancy materials are found bengalines. glace mohairs, crape veilings, brocaded and grain tie poutlre etamines. and silk embroidered in broderic de per sane. in which a small quantity of gold is introduced. Entire costumes of figured laces in cream, white and colors are made upon muslin or strong net foundations, the piece not forming the skirt, corsage, sleeves anti draperies. Trimmings to match of border lace and ribbon form the additional decorations. Dress fans are of transparent gauze, pointed, but in these also the black anti cream or delicate tint ones are alone worth the purchase money. The reds are ugly, and the blues must be of peculiar shades and match the toilet or they are a horror Tli«“ Style in Tea. There are some conservatives who still take sugar and even cream in their tea. but these heresies are fast giving way to the new er styles. The real connoisseur takes his tea without any modifications, and fashion, although it allows a lump of sugar rather or dains a slice of lemon or a spoonful of pre serves, according to Russian style. About half the people who sip tea these afternoons do it because it is 'tie fashion, and not be cause they care for the drink itself, hast season the cheese straws were prominent on every tea table, and the indigestible little strips of pie-crust, filled with grated cheese and sprinkled with red pepper, were suppos ed to be just the thing to spur up a jaded ap petite. Thisyearthe salted almond is the favorite dish of the afternoon bibblers, and confectioners are doing a great business in roasting almonds and then turning them over in a pan with a little butter and a great deal of salt. A man who knows tells me that there is nothing like the almond anyhow to clear the brain and steady the tongue when there have been to many wines at a dinner, and the salted almond is even more of a re storative than the fresh nut.— Washington Society Letter. r|"MI E UNDERSIGNED would respectfully petition 1 the Road Commis-loners of Oxford County to lay out a piece ot road from the steamboat Landing at the South Ann, to and connecting with the pres ent County road between Andover and South Arm, said new piece of road being about forty rods.

[itlilieo Millions Interesting Facts about Property in Chancery and the Americans who Imagine They Have a Claim to It A Talk with the Man who Makes the Searches.

The front of an uninviting old brick building on a street near the Five Points contains a sign,the most prominent letter ing ot which is “Next to Kin over £77, 000.000 unclaimed.” This sign marks the business and printing office of a man whose occupation is that of searching old foreign records and chancery lists for peo ple ol this country who believe they are heirs to property and estates in Europe. When asked tor particulars reganling his unusual occupation, the proprietor of the place said recently to a reporter ol the Mail and Express. “Yes, it is a tact that the records ot the bank of England, the Court of Chancery and the Somerset H"U-e show that the enormous sura of over £77 000.000, in money and property, has been left in England by persons who have died intestate or without any known heirs. This gigantic sura has been ac cumulating for the past 300 years, subject to the demand of the direct issue or right ful heirs, and it is unquestioned that a large precentage of the rightful heirs is now settled inlhe United States and Can ada.” "Are you often successful in your searches?” asked the reporter. "I have been in this work tor 22 years, dealing particularly with claims in Eng land,France and Holland the last six years. In this time I have visited Europe regu larly twice a year, taking on each trip an average of about 25 claims to look up. Out of the 25 I am usually successful with about three. I go only as an attorney, to investigate, but each person for whom I go must pay me $25 for expenses, besides agreeing to allow me 3 per cent on the amount of property or money obtained, should his claim prove to be successful. “What is the largest amount you have ever obtained in this way for a claimant “It was for a resident of Long Island and reached $185,000. An estate that I am looking up now fora resident of Ohio, if successful, as it now appears to be, will amount to $400,000 I have had the case in hand since the beginning of the year, and It all depended on finding a certain will drawn in 1740. Only this week have 1 received this will from England, after a long search. It is an old, musty document and one of its specifications is that the property left by the testator shall not be sold or mortgaged for 100 years from the date of the will. I shall sail tor England on July 1, to investigate this ease and about forty others.” “How much money do these forty claims represent “To one not familiar with the business the amounts claimed are most astonishing. This one bundle of claims which I shall lake over with me, represents millions of dollars, more money in fact than would pay off the national debt. The claimants are all of the better class of intelligent people, too; business men,bankers, news paper men. anil prolessional men from all parts of the country, but particularly from the West. It costs me about $400 to make one of these trips When I get to London there are onlv four or five places to go to, and if 1 do not find the names there I give up the search. The books on the subject are all open for in spection. If 1 find belore going that a person is to get a large amount, I advise them to go themselves. But when a per son says to me, as many do: -Why, as you are going over anyway, just look up my name, please,’ 1 refuse to do so most decided.y. for if I did business in this wav I would not get over there at all. 1 have a great many people come to me with large claims tnat they cannot prove at all, having been started in the idea by seeing someone else successful. Why, I have received as many as sixty-four let ters a week of inquiries, and lately the business has grown so extensively that I have had to have a special man stationed regnlarlv in London.” "Do you charge tor looking into your list* here?” “Yes. I have procured at much trou ble and expense lists of about 200,000 names all over the world of persons who have been advertised for in these matters, together with full chancery lists of Eng land. France, Ireland and other countries. In order to get some return for my outlay, I charge each person who wishes to look in these lists .*2. Every three years there is published in England an official chan cery list, and this t also have. A tine thing for the heirs of these unclaimed es tates is the law passed a lew years ago in England. This is that unclaimed money of this kind shall be used by the govern ment in building hospitals and public buildings of all kinds. In return tor the use of the money the government allows 3 per cent. Thus, when the rightful heir is found or proves his title, he gets not only the money originally due him, but if the government has used it, he gets 3 percent additional. The large amount of money in chancery has caused much com ment in England, as you can sen from a clipping I have taken pains to save from the London Telegraph hnnrmous suras ot money are now going begging, simply waiting for some one to claim them. Why do not the per sons entitled to the “dormant funds in Chancery" step forward and by disclosing their existence and their names become the happy possessors of substantial for tunes for the rest ot their natural lives? The explanation of the remarkable fact that £77.000.000 were at the beginning of last year locked up somewhere in the office or under the control of the Pay master General in Chancery must surely lie in the ignorance ot those who have a rightful claim to any portion of this wealth. It is impossible to conceive that they have all taken a vow of life-long poverty, like the early monks, or that they are haters of filthy lucre like Timon. or that they have shared the fate of the Seven Sleepers, and are oblivious to sublunary matters altogether.
