HIS KIN YEARS AGO.

Hear That a Vjuit Fortune Awaits Them.

CONCORD, N. H., Jau. 1.—George A. Simonds of this city has received information of an ancestor's estates, valued at from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000, which have for years awaited an owner.

The property in question belonged to a great uncle, Robert Sargent of Hubbardston, Mass., more than 40 years ago. Sargent was opposed by all the other members of his family in a quarrel, and converted all his property into cash or securities and disappeared. Twenty years later a stranger of apparent means spent a few days ia Hub* bardston, and to some he divulged the fact that he was Robert Sargen t. Ho left again, and never returned. Once or twice tidings from the far west told of his unusual prosperity, but never by letter did the family hear from him.

A ieyr weeks ago Mr. Simonds and others of the rolatiVes were notilied by a Boston attornay of an estate of from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000, which belonged to them, and of which the lawyers had exclusive knowledge. He gave out enough information to prove the existence of the property, but refused to locate it until he was assured of 50 per cant of the value of the property recovered. The estate is supposed to exist on the borders of Texas and in Mexico. There are 37 heirs. The property has been in charge of an agent several years, is in good condition and fx*ee from debts. The heirs have held recent meetings, and chosen one of their number, who is a lawyer, ^to represent them.

ON BEING FIRST,

Even if He

Did Have to Start the Fire Himself.

NORTH TONOWANDA, N. Y., Jan. 1.— During the past six mouths this village has been the scene of so large a number of fires of an obviously incendiary origin as to call for the serious attention of the police authorities. A secret investigation was instituted, which resulted in the arrest of John Goerke, 21 years old, a member of the Columbia hook and ladder company of Tonawanda, and belonging to the State Firemen's association. It is claimed that Goerke has been the author of many destructive lires here, among them that which destroyed the Weston lumber yards, last week, causing a loss of over $175,000. it is the custom of the local lire department to award a metal to the fireman who arrives first at the scene of the greatest number of fires during the year, and it is said that Goerke has been first at almost. every fire since May 0 last.

He Flew High. SBSB

FOSTORIA, O., Jan. 1.—Ed Gebert, for three months past bookkeeper of the Peabody Buggy company, is missing. On Friday night he left the city, but his absence was not discovered until Saturday noon. He came here three months ago in hard luck. During the time he was here he bought a $100 gold watch, a $75 diamond and several suits of clothes. His salary was not large, and it was only aftor he left that any crookedness was suspected. The amount he is short at the buggy company is not known. Mr. Peabody has gone to Chicago, Gebert's former home, to look him up. Gebert was a bright young fellow and unusually well educated.

Itird Expert's Opportunity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—An examination will be held at the rooms of the civil service commission on Jan. 15 for an assistant ornithologist and an ornithologist clerk in the department of agriculture. The salary of the former position is $1,000, and of the latter $(5*50 per annum. Applicants residing away from Washington may be examined at some of the large cities, where the commission has competent boards, providing applications are filed at once.

Testing a Law.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1. Attorney William A. Ketcliam of Indiana has begun suit in the Marion county circuit court, praying that the fee and salary act of 1891 be purged of its unconstitutional features and restored to the manner aud lorm in which it passed the general assembly. The suit is brought on relation of Governor Matthews, and the defendants named are Secretary of State W. li. Myers and a number county officers.

l'ronouneed a Forgery.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jau. 1.—State Treasurer Stevens received a letter from a brokerage firm in St. Louis containing what purported to be a coupon for $50, due July 1, 1S8G, on the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad state renewal bond, and bearing 0 per cent interest. Mr. Stevens pronounced it a forgery, for the reason that no bond bearing the number 374,U2(3 is in existence.

Fatally Injured by a Bomb.

BLUFFTON, O., Jan. 1.—While Georgo Lamb of Belmore was celebrating at a belling Saturday night, he lit a fuse attached to a piece of gas pipe filled with powder, which exploded with a terriilio force.

Hotel—Namos of the Unfortunate Vic-f| tlius So Far Laavned. ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 1.—The list of

those who are missing and supposed to have perished in the Delavan House fire f| numbers 17. All the injured are reported out of danger and improving. All the hotel servants had quarters on the fifth floor of the hotel. It is asserted by the hotel people that the help were ajjprised of the fire in time to save themselves, but that they ran around to arouse the guests and in doing this were overcome by smoke.

The full list of missing is as follows Mrs. Francis Hill from Chicago. Nora Sullivan, chambermaid. .! Mary Sullivan, chambermaid, sister of Nora.

Mary Carr, chambermaid, from Saratoga. Annie Dailey, employed in cleaning department.

Bridget Fitzgibbons, employed in pan- f| try. Amelia Tomaznia, chambermaid.

Simon Myers, coffee man. Rosanta Storney, chambermaid. Ellen Dillon, laundress. Agnes Wilson, chambermaid from Buffalo. S

Rae Young, employed in linen department, from Buffalo. Kate Crowley, chambermaid.

Tom Cannon, hall man. Fernando Belletti, fireman. Ricardo Telesfoni, works in kitchen. An unknown Italian, worked in S kitchen.

About 20 girls were sleeping in the S attic, which was on the Steuben street side of the house, and the only exit was a narrow stairway leading to the third floor hallway, from which there were three stairways by which to escape. The most reliable information that could be obtained was given by an employe of the house named Kate Monahan, who knew all the girls well, and had up to that time been unable to find 12 of them, who she is positive are dead.

Besides those she asserts that four |i men are also in the ruius. Miss Mona- i| han says she escaped through the basement and that at that time the girls, she believes, were lost in the attic. When she reached the last stairway, the six lower steps weie burned and she had to jump the remaining distance. If the girls wore in the attic then it seems impossible for them to have escaped,

FISHERMEN IN DISTRESS.

Till •tie Lives JJave I'robably IJeen Lost in Lake Michigan.

MENOMINEE, Mich., Jan. 1.—Martin, Frank and John Wosnaki, brothers, were carried away in an open fishing boat by the ice last Saturday. They were seen Monday drifting toward death's door, and will probably not be rescued alive, as the weather has since continued very cold. No attempts have been made here to rescue them, as the tugs are all frozen in and their machinery taken apart for the winter.

A telegram was sent to Escanaba in the hope that a tug is still in commission there, but no answer has been received. Owing to the stroug wind and large body of ice between the three fishermen and the shore it is considered folly to attempt to reach them. The men are without food. All are married. When seen through a glass Monday they were still alive and occasionally raised a piece of canvass attacned to an oar as a signal of distress.

MAN-HUNT ORGANIZED.

Three Desperate Negroes Murder an Old 3!a in Cold Hlood.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 1.—The most dastardly crime ever committed in this county was perpetrated Saturday evening by the murdering of E. G. Daniels, aged (52, at East Lake, by unknown parties.

Three negro tramps called upon the family for provisions in the early part of the day and hung around until nightfall, when they accosted the old man. Aftor covering him and his family, three helpless women, with pistols, they demanded money. Being refused, they shot Daniels three times in the head and then robbed him and fled. A posse was formed of the citizens and is now in pursuit. As yet no trace of the villains has been discovered.

Coal Operators Confident.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 1.—Secretary Phillips of the Massillon District Coal Operators' association said concerning the! situation: "We shall not attempt to| start the mines at present. We have every reason to believe that the menlf will reconsider their action taken last of Friday and go to work at the price stipulated in the award of the arbitrators.?

The men have had the public sympathy with them all through their contest until now, aud wo feel that they will seei this very soon." J|
