How She Lost Her First Husband.

Mrs. Mary Ludy, of Frederick county, Md., died last week, aged 92 years. Her first husband, John Warrenfeltz, was killed fifty years ago while climbing a tree for a coon. A neighhor came on the scene after Mr. Warrenfeltz had ascended the tree, and, asking one of the latter’s sons what they were after, the boy replied that a coon had been treed. Noticing a movement among the boughs, the neighbor fired, as he supposed, at a coon, and Mr. Warrenfeltz fell from the tree, shot in the head. He died almost instantly. —Baltimore Sun. Mr. Crawshav, the iron master, left property in England worth $6,000,000. Ten years ago it would probably have been far larger. The comparativelysmall amount ($13,500,000) under which Baron Rothschild’s personalty was sworn —less then half that of the late Mr. Brassey—is doubtless due to a large proportion of his wealth being in other countries. Only two British personal estates have ever reached $20,000,000, and there is but one instance of ft direct legacy pf f 5,000,000.
