Corre-rendence St. Louis Gi The biggest fortunes on the Pacific coast are those of the Central Pac‘fie Yailroad magnates, and ex-Governor Stanfprd'is the richest of the group.

The richest widow on the Pacific coast, or in the country for that matter, with the possi- Vie exception of Mrs, Cornelia Stewart, is Mrs. Mark Hopkins, widow of one of the Cen- tral Pacifle syndicate. Her husband's estate proved up to $23,000,000, and the only two men in California who couid jastify on the widow's bond as executrix were Leland Standford and Charles Crocker, two of her husband's business They were compelled to justify in twice the amount of the estate. and each ‘swore thathe was worth $40,000,000. Mrs. Hopkins ig an elderly woman. They had no cl en, but had adopted a son, whom Mrs. Hopkins has just married to a Miss Crittenden, a pretege of hers, providing her with the dot of a princess. There are other heirs to the estate, but the adopted son, ‘* Tim,” will get tlie bulk of it. The richest young and unmarried woman on the Pacific coast is Miss Jennie Flood, only daughter of the bonanza king. When her father’s income from the big silver bonanza Wi at its highest he bought $2,500,000 ot United States 4 per cents and gave them to his daughter outright, ing them registered in her name. He also gave his sen £1,000,600 In the same securities, but the latter does not promise weil, and the bonds have gone back to the father's bank vault for safe- keeping. Miss Jennie is a charming young woman, rather plain, it ia trae, and away ont of her te but she is a good, sensible girl, wholly free from display or affectation. She ts deeply plous, and there has been some talk of her the veil, There was also some talk at one time of her marrying ‘* Buck” Grant. Miss Flood only laughed at the idea, as, indeed, did young Grant himself. The only one anxious to brin young folk couldn't see it. ‘The richest prospective heiress in California is Miss Huttie Crocker, the oniy daughter of Charles Crocker, another of the railroad’ syndi- cate. She, also, is a charming girl, and, like Miss Flood, ts rather plain in appearance.’ She is noted tor her charities and domestic virtues. She was sought in merringe by Lord Beaumont, an English nobleman, but she gave him no en: couragement, and it is believed prefers to re- main single. Mr. Crocker has two other chil- dren, sons, but his Immense wealth will give all rincely fortune. he luckiest young man in California in point of wealth 1s Mr. James V. Coleman, of Menlo Park. A few years ago he was clerk at a mine in Nevada at $100 a month. But he didn't ex- pect to be always, for William T. O’Brien, one ot the bonanza kings. was his uncle, and Mr. O’Brien was a bachelor. One day Mr. O'Brien got sick and sent for “Jimmie,” as he was always called, to be with him and care for him, In_the last days of his illness the nurses said “Uncle Billy” and “ Jimmie” were closeted topectier & great deal, and one evening “Jimmie” came out of Uncle Billy's room with a big tin box. which his Uncle Billy had given him. It ' contgined 500.000 in 4 per cents. A week. later Uncle Billy died, aud by his will all the nephews and nleces were left $800,000 each, including “Jimmie,” who got that in addition to the ante-mortem gift of halfa million. But not content with that, Uncle Billy made “Jimmie” an executor without bonds. and his fees as such amounted to $464,000. The wheke value of Uncle Billy's estate was a little over $9,000,000. After’ the legacies were paid, the residue was turned over to Mr. O’Brien’s two sisters, Mrs, Coleman (““Jimmie’s” mother) and Mrs. Joseph McDonough. The two ladies inherited $3,560,000 each. The lucky man referred to is about 32, a graduate rgetown College, D.C., and has just been elected to the assembly of California. “Jimmi has gone Into tratniig for Congress, and will get there In 1854, The uuluckiest man onthe Pacific slope, in joint of wealth, is Senator Jones, of Nevada. here has perhaps never been so vast a fortune so quickly scattered as that of Jones’. In spite of popular bellef, Senator Jones to-day Is poor. comparatively speaking, When he was elected to the Senate in 1873 he was worth at least To-day he is not worth £50,000 above his debts, and his congressional salary is no longer despised as a source of income. It would be hard to tell where Jones’ fortune has gone, or, more correctly speaking, hara to tell where it hasn’t gone. No man ever sunk so much mney in chimerical schemes, invested so much in bogus friend- ships, or became so easy aprey to financialsharks as Jones. He sunk $2,000,000 hard money in mines in Pauamint, California, which never ylelded a doilar. Hesunk another million inthe Sumner mine, in southern California. He built @railroad in southern California 12 miles long, and It cost enough to have had every tie of m hogany and every rail of silver. The Central Pa- cific afterward bought it for about $1,000 a mile. He bought every ranch ever offered him—indeed. he bought one in Nevada which has never been located to this day. Jones’ agents could never find it. He started an icefactory in New Orleans. He never saw the factory, and never but once or twice the man who got him into it. He opened the St. James hotel in New York, and of course it never paid. The last cruel wipethat Fate had in store for Jones was the “Sierra Nevada. deal,” as Californians call It, of four years ago. On’a mere prospect the stock was jumped from $8 a share to $275. Jones got in at about $200, on the drop. The stock Is selling now for less than $5ashare. The Bank of Nevada is believed to be carrying Jones’ stock for him yet. At the time Senator Jones was talked of so strongly for Secretary of the Treasury, Californians who remembered how well Jones had taken care of his own money could not repress a smile that he should be thought competent to take care of the peoples’. ane But fortunes made in mining are not only Ukely to be scattered, If their owner sticks to the business, but they are also usually over- estimated. The fortunes of the bonanza men of Nevada, Mackey, Flood and Fair, were not only greatly exaggerated in the first place, but within five years they have sadly dwindled. Thetr great source of wea!th was in working the ores of the Big Bonanza, hauling the bullion and managins the mines, and that has wholly stopped. Their mining stocks nave sunk in yalue to almost “zero, and it is hard to tell now wherein their great fortunes consist. Of course all are rich men, but nothing like as rich as they were five years ago. It 1s doubttul if any of them, with the possible exception of Mackey, who al- ways had twice as much as the others, would now cut up $5,000,000. Mr. Flood owns but lit- tle real estate. Mr. Mackey none at all. Sena- tor Fair owns about @2,000,000 worth. Their mining operations have for two years been a burden. Their bank does not pay, and never has paid, for it never got the confidence of or became popular with the business community. The nly property any of them has that yields an income, except Fair's business blocks, is their government bonds, It was but four years ago that Fair got caught to the tune of a million, by Robert Sherwood, another mining capitalist, who used to sel watches and finger rings. At the time of the Sierra Nevada deal Sherwood owned 5,000 shares of Union Consolidated, then rated in the market at $200 a share. Fair was blustering around one day in Nevada block about what was going to be shown up in the mine, and how much higher the stock was going. Sherwood, who is a very quiet and cautious man, hoped it was all true, but had his doubts, “I suppose you'd like to peddle out younstock, then,” said Fair with a sneer. ‘No, I don’t care to peddle it, but V'll sell it,” was the reply. ‘What'll you ‘take?” ‘Market price,” was the an- swer.. There was a small crowd around and all were eyeing Fair to see how he'd ‘stand the bluff. He saw he was in for it, and there was nothing to do but go ahead. “I'll give you #175.” “No, nothin; but market price. I can peddle it out at that, said Mr. Sherwood, witha laugh. “ What is it now ?” and both walked to the ticker. “ Union $201, $203;” sald some one. “T'll give you $200,” said Fair, ‘I'll take it,” said SI erwood, “Give me your check.” ‘Come into the bank,” and in ten minutes the burly Senator had Mr, Sherwood’s 5,000 shares of stock, and $1,000.000 had passed to Mr. Sherwood’s bank account. ‘There was considerable excitement on the street over the sale, but it did pot peace op the mar- ket.

ENGAGED TO BY MARRIED TO A WoRTHY YOUNG LADY OF PORT JERVIS. WHO WOULD NOT RE- LIEVE EIM GUILTY—A SMUOTH-TONGUED VIL- Lain. From the Philadelphia Times. Port Jenvis,N. Y., Dee. 11.—On the 10th of May, 1880, John P. G. Smith was arrested In this villace by Officers Walley and McLaughlin on acharge of forgery, preferred by Alfred Gil- Yepot, on the Port Jervis and Monticello rail- road, twenty miles from this village. At the time Smith was a resident of this village and a law student in Columbia College, New York city. He went to the city onan early train | every morning and returned on the evening express. Previous to his residence here he had een book-keeper for Mr. Gilman. During the prelii ry examination Mr. Smith wasallowed ance of two officers, out of whose sight Smith was never allowed to go. But one night the officers slept and Smith made a hasty depart- ure and took to the woods. He succeeded in getting into Pennsylvania, but was discovered | by three menand by main force carried back into the state. A GIRLS DEVOTION. Smith was loud in his protestations of inno- cence, and popular opinion was greatly in his fayor. He was engaged to be married to Miss | Ida Dutcher, a handsome young lady, and the villaze. Smith was almost constant in his at- tentions to her and she refused to believe him guilty even whea several New York parties, | under oath, identified him as the man who passed the forged checks. These checks were for small amounts, ranging from twenty to fifty dollars, and agere<ated nearly Afteen hundred |dollare. On the triel, which was held in New York city, before Judge Cowing, in June, 1880, convicting evidence was Introduced and Smiti was sentenced to five years in the state prison at Sing Sing. He still protested iInnocen Miss Dutcher remained faithful to him with an affection that was pitiful to observe. In April last, through A. C. Butts, of Monti- - Y..a petition was presented to Gc e argument, which was prepared by f, Was a remarkably able document jand was printed. Considerable of what was clatmed as new evidence was introduced. Mr. Butts also presented letters of jntroduction from prominent men, who expressed the opinion that here were mitigating cireumstances and tha Smith had been a victim of conspiracy. The petition was so remarkable that great care was taken by the governor in examining into the merits of the case. A letter was received in this village yesterday from the pardon clerk giv- ing the resuit of the investigation. It read as follows: FOUND TO BE A MURDERER. “A rigid inquiry made by the officials devel- oped the fact that Smith was guilty of the forgery for which he was sentenced, and also that his character previous to that time was one of the worst; that he was, iff fact, a criminal of the deepest dye. By photographs. marks on his body and other undisputed facts, he has been positively identified as one Paul Schoeppe, alias ‘Count’ Schulenbery, who was arrested. convicted and sentenced in Carlisle, Pa., for the murder of Miss Stelnecke about the year 1877. was about seventy years old, quite wealthy and who had been a resident of Baltimore, Md., Bchoeppe produced a marriage certificate j of Miss Steinecke and himeelf and a will pur- porting to have been made by her in his favor, which papers exciting suspicion, the authori- ties caused his arrest on the charge of murder. | He was tried and convicted on this charge and sentenced to be hanged.

He then defrauded several parties, left and went back to Baltimore some time in January, 1874. On the 18th day of March, 1874, he was arrested on the charge of obtaining money from several firms by false pretenses and was committed to jail. Inthe meantime the Chicago authorities Were notified of his arrest. They came on with requisition papera and he was taken back, tried, convicted and sentenced to the JolietPrison for three years, which term he seryed. A SMOOTH-TONGUED VILLAIN. It is probable that after his discharge from Joliet he came to this part of the country. He isa smooth-tongued villain and it is not un- likely that when he has served his term he will be heard from again in other quarters. Since these Interesting developments have been made real facts and has, ot course, discarded hi ability and taet made him many friends, who be- lieved him to the last, but theee late disclosures will place him before the public in his true ctiar- acter—that ofa criminal who would etopat noth- ing to achieve his ends. es THE MUNCHAUSEN MEDAL, |. His A Pennsylvania Man After It. From the Oil City Blizzant. The ordinarily qulet litte town of Franklin, up in Venango county, has a sensation just now which is indeed a sensation. Columbus Brown, who lives in the first ward, in Franklin, one day this week discovered a hoard of old French goid amounting to $27,000. For many years past there has been a bellef that during the occupa- tion of this part of the country by the French, a large amount of treasure was secreted in Franklin, near where the old fort stood. Colum-. bus Brown hasa maniain regard to this treasure, and for years the thought of becoming possessed of richesin this way hashaunted him. Mr. Brown had many dreams about the subject, but the most important one was on last Friday night. Then he dreamed, as usual, that he was count- ing and handling a chest of gold, and that he had found it buried in the earth at the toot of the tree, in an open field. So excited was he that he awoke, only to find it alla dream, as usual. He arose, walked to the window, and there, before him, in the field, stood the identi- cal tree which he had seen in his dream. But he put it resolutely aside as a. dream, as most sensible men would have done, and retired to bed and to sleep. He had scarcely closed his eyes till he was again in the field. and digging at the root of the tree. He was Informed in some manner, he cannot tell how, but bya man witn a foreign accent, and in a military uniform with a sword and sash, that if he would measure a certain distance from the center of arock in the ran, due north, and then measure thirty-three feet. due west from that point, he woyld find the treasure he had so often seen in his dreams. Early on Saturday morning he arose, and. pro- curing a tape line, went and measured as he had been directed in his dream. What was his surprise to find that each and every measure- ment brought him to the toot of ‘the chest- nut tree ay the open field. Brown did not tell enone about his dream, nor of the result, but during the day he went to Colonel Breakley, who owns the ground, and asked and obtained permission on some pretext, to dig near the chestnut tree. He and his son, a lad sixteen, commenced digging at the root ot the tree, andat a depth of something over six teet, about 4 p. m., struck something almost under the center of the tree which gave forth a metallic sound. A further clearing away of the gravel and stones disclosed the sides or end of an iron box or chest. Wild with excitement they continued to dig until they had unearthed the box or chest, which was 31 inches long, 20 inches wide and 24 inches deep, or about the dimensions of an ordinary trunk. Their united efforts could only turn it over, but could not lift it from the excavation, The young man was sent for a hammer and cold chisel and the lid was soon removed, The sight which met their gaze was enough to turn the head of al- most any man. The box was nearly two-thirds filled with gold and silver colin, tarnished end covered with sand and mould. but nevertheless gold. The coins are mostly French, but a num- the lot hey’ bear datea, 1 gt the lot. e. ane various other dates, the latest of: which is 1754. which is the same year Fort Macnault was com- pleted. On a brass ruler found in the chest, the name “Joncaire” is plainly stamped.

FOUN STETSON CONFIRMS THE REPORTS FROM BOSTON. From the New York Tribune. An interview with Mrs. Labouchere has beea published in which she tells the story ef the late trouble between uerseif and Mrs. Langtry. Ter story is in substance as follows: Mrs. Langtry received attentions while in this city, and Mrs. Labouchere expressed her disap- probation of some of them. Just before the end | of the engagement at Wallack’s Theatre Mrs. Labouchere learned that Frederick Gebhard, a young man whose constant and assiduous devo- tion to Mrs. Lanctry had been the cause of intended to send his horses and car- | riage to Boston tor her use, and also to go there himseif. Mrs. Labouchere again remon- strated, Dut to no purp: Then she de- clared that if Gebhard went to Boston she would not go. Then arose the trouble of which an account was published in the Tri- bune on the day following its occurrence. The | Mr. Labouchere telegraphed for his wife to re~ tum home. Mrs. Langtry, according to the in terview, lost her svcial standing m London through similar gossip, She had promised to be | ct while in, Mrs. Lang- | try has taken no steps to secure a divorce, but there is an understanding between him and his wife that they stall live s Such is the ent y given in the | Interview. The facts have been matters of com- | mon gessip in this city since the departure of Mra. Langtry to Boston. Yesterday a Trilune | reporter called et the Albemarle hotel, where Mrs. Labouchere arrived on Su She declined to reply to gny inqul to the quarrel. She will sai for morrow. Her husband, 1 meriea after the plans. atch trom Boston, printed yesterd 1 that John Stetson, the mai obe Theater in Boston, where M! 4 had turned Mr. Gebbard out out of a private box. Mr. Stet- sked about the matter, sald: “Mr. as not actually turned out of the He has been exceedingly ‘fresh’ abont | the theai He. walked through the | stage entr: tazedoorkeeper admitting him because he was a friend of Mra.

I asked the uslier how Geb- | |hard came to be in the box. and found that he had simply helped himself to it. I! ordered the ushers to 4 Gebhard no more seats in boxes unless he paid for them. 1 also ordered the back doorkeeper not to admit any more persons behind the scenes who aid not | have any business there.

She Is headstrong: in fact, I beileve she is ‘cracked.’ It’s not her sister who is coming over to take care of ler, I may mention, | but Mr. Langtry’s. She's a very foolish woman to quarrel with Mrs. Labouchere.” A report has been circulated that owing to the gossip about Mrs. Langtry and the ¢éonse- quent fnjury to her business in Boston, Mr. Abbey Intended to €igcontinne the engagement with her. Mr. Abbey is at present in San Fran- | cisco with Mme. Christine Nilsson, but bis bus!- ness manager at the Grand Opera House, W.

Langtry opened to $2,000 in Boston: her | smallest house has been #1,800, and she has | played to £2,700. | the business had been injured by this tal! | Abbey is not cancelling such en; |that—not to any alarming extent | finish her season in Boston this wee zo to Philadelphia for two weeks. During hristimas week she will play in Brooklyn. | Come over and see if the business is very badly injured.” A gentleman who saw Mr. Gebhard’s bill for flowers bought for Mrs. Langtry while in. this city, paid at the Hotel Brunswick, said that it amounted to $950. The young man, however, Is very well able to pay large bills for flowers, as his property brings him a yearly income of at | least $40,000, and up to the ‘time when his at- | | tentions to Mrs. Langtry became so conspicu- ous, he was not extravagant in his expendi- tures and did not live nearly up to his income. It is true that he had aracing stable, but he was so successful onthe turf, that his gains from that source probably exceeded his losses. In 1881 he was in partnership with Arthur Hunter, the skilful and successful amateur rider at Je- rome Park, Monmouth, Saratoga and Sheeps- head bay, and they raced their horses under th® name of the Pelhem Stable. By far the best horse they had, and per- She will and then | j ing season this vear, was Eole. excellent races for them. Gebhard bought Mr. Hunter's interest in Eole, and the horse has since veen his sole propert: Eole was easily the superior of every horse he | met in 1882, except the renowned Hindoo. Up to the time of the race for the Coney Island cup in June last Mr. Gebhard and Mr. Hunter thought him better even than Hindoo, and their | eiror cost them a round sum. Mr. Gebhard was the larger loser on the race, in ich Hindoo— one of the best horses ever bred in America— vanquished Eole without difficulty. Eole had previously won so much money for, his owners that they could well sustain this reverse; but \ Mr. Gevhard was so much prostrated b y his) losses, or by something else, that when his four- . and he won many evening he was stretched out at full Jength on | the top of it. The hero of the Langtry-Labouchere quarrel is well known at the clubs and in New York society. He is a member of several clubs, and spends a good deal of eatthe Union. His home is at No. 100 Fifth avenue, where his brother-in-law and his sister, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Neilson, also reside. | was betrothed last winter to Miss Jerome, daughter of Leonard W. Jerome, but the eu- gagement was broken by the young lady. He Is a man of good figure and more than average height, and is always attired in extreme Enlish | style. "His complexion is dark, his hair, eyes and moustache being black, his features regular? and his face handsome, though rather stolid. Tn the fox hunts on Long Island he has always been conspicuous, but has never made any mark at polo. His horses, carriages, and everything pertaining to his stables, have always been mod- els of the best English style, and in nothing has | he taken more pride, and to nothing up to the time of Mrs. Langtry’s arrival in New York, had he shown more devotion. He has recently made some important additions to his racing stock, and Is expected to play a prominent part on the American turf next season. ——_—_+-e-____ The Fenian Brotherhood Hepudiate “ir. Devoy. From the New York Wor!d, 12th. A special meeting of the council of the Fenian brotherhood was held last evening at their headquarters to take action in regard to the statements of Mr. John Devoy relative to the O'Mahony Fenian fund. A committee appointed ; to look after the interests of the brotherhood in | connection with this fund made a report, and after a full discussion resolutions were adopted denying the testimony of John Devoy in the court of general sessions in which Devoy swore that he had been delegated to prosecute the suit of John O'Mahony against August Belmont & Co. to recover the money known as the “O'Mahony Belmont fund,” and eaid that the Fenian brotherhood was a myth. In their reso- Tution the council declare that the fund is now and ever has been the property of the broth- erhood, and that John Devoy never was a mem- ber of tnat organization. and that he never was delegated to take any action relative to the i ah aR ge Se Sees Ghoul McNamee’s Grow! at Jeffcrwon College.
