Jenney, chief of the geologist expe- dition of the Black: Hills, and his assistants, returned tere yesterday, having spent flve months in the hills, and made quite a thorough examination of the whole country and mapped it from Bellefourche to the south fork of the Cheyenne River. THB GOLD DISCOVERIES, Pi He reports gold fields extending forty miles north from Harney’s Poak and twenty miles wide, that con- tain gold in quantities that will pay from $3 to $5 per day to the man, and that there are bars on numbers of Gtreams that will pay much more than that, ‘MH WATER SUPPLIES are ample for working purposes, and fully sufficient to carry water from the top of most of the bars and allow the tailings to be readily disposed of. CHARACTER OF THR GOLD. The gold is course, good and easily separated from tho gravel and sand. Mr. Jenney has with him an ounce ‘of coarse gold that two men obtained on Sprin, Croek with ten hours’ labor. An assay of this gold shows it to be 940 fine, worth $19 43 coin to the ounce.

A MAN SHOOTS HIS TWO SONS TRIES TO MUR- DER HIS WIFE, AND THEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE. Newark, Oct. 17, 1875. The bare outline of a shocking tragedy enacted at Hackettstown, Morris county, this State, yesterday, eclipsing even the Garland affair at New Brunswick, was received in this city to-day, From the meagre report obtained it appears that yesterday forenoon a | man named Kiker, a resident of Hacketts- town,, snot and instantly killed his two sons, | aged respectively six and ten years, ‘an tien attempted to murder his wife, but she, fom | tunately, made her escape. Riker noxt levelled his pistol at his own head and fired, inilicting a wound which may prove fatal. He was arrested by the authorities, and is now confined in jail, The cause Jeading to the tragedy is set down as domestic trouble, As Ce naturally be expected, the affair, ns the report | says, has filled Hackettstown with excitement. It | being Sunday, there is no way of obtaining further details, both railroad aud telegraphic communication being closed. TROUBLE IN A TEMPLE. Quite & sensation occurred in the German Catholic Church of St. Boniface, corner of Forty-seventh street | and Second avenue, yesterday morning during high muss. Tho day being the soventeenth anniversary of | ‘the dedication of the church an extraordinary musical display was expected, but when tho priest stepped upon the altar to begin the ceremonies, the organ, to the | great astonishment of the congregation, remained silent. It was ascertained that tho cause of this dis- turbance was a trouble among the members of the choir, a woman being at the bottom of the affair, as a cynical bachelor would say, as usual. The organist | ‘Was compelled to leave the choir in order to escape In- | tives. Tho pastor could hot be prevailed on to in- terfere. Many an unpleasant remark regarding this ‘eilair was passed by the parishioners, BURGLARS IN CONNECTICUT.

WASHINGTON, FROM “our REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasurxetoy, Oct. 17, 1875. THE EFFECT OF ALLEN’S DEFEAT IN THE SOUTH— ‘THE LATEST CANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTAL NOMINATION. Not the least important result of the dofeat of Allen and Carey is the impression it has made upon the sen- timent of the democratic party in the Soutn, The | conversion of the faltering and the confirmation of the strong in the faith of hard money, will doubtless bring a united hard money delegation from the South to the Democratic National Convention next year, Even the small majority of Hayes does not intefere with the growth of this feeling, This is the subject of much congratulation in demo- cratic circles here in Washington, and the fact was mentioned to-night in connection with the progress | Senator Bayard is making in the affections of Southern democrats as the very latest candidate for the Demo- cratic Presidential nomination. THE CHIPPEWA INDIANS—A DELEGATION OF FOUR—AN INTERVIEW WITH COMMISSIONER SMITH. The four Chippewa delegates—Spirit Seer, Hole in the Day, Looking for Something, and He who Stands Examining, managed to talk to Commissioner Smith for a few minutes yesterday, Thoro ts no prospect that | he will remove their agent at White Earth, Minnesota, | as they demand. Thoir grievance is that they were forced to leave without his permission, or not come at all, Last win- ter a petition, representing 630 Indians, was prepared, asking for the agent’s removal, but it was not presented until July. The Commissioner seemed surprised at the large number of Fignatures, but he asked for a more general expression of the tribe, A new petition, signed by 1,040 Indians, was then forwarded, Definite and numerous charges were made against the Agent. No attention was paid to them, and this is why the four delegates are here without permission. ‘Tho Commissioner told them to-day that he could do nothing for them. Complaints are made against all agents, He advised them to go back at once, and finally promised them $50, 2 blanket and a pair of overshoos each—the $50 to be used only as passage money. ‘The Indians are intelligent and dressed like white | men, They wrote their names on the hotel register as | follows:— .

THE DAVIS-GILMOUR MURDER. A MAN AND WIFE SENTENCED TO BE HUNG— REMARKABLE CASE OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVI- DENCE—THE CRIME, THE TRIAL AND THE SENTENCE. Toronto, Ont., Oct. 17, 1975, Considerable interest been aroused, not only in Toronto, but throughou Dotiliton, by tho arrest early in August last of Arthur Paul Davis for the mur- der of Jane Vaughan Gilmour by procurement of malpractice resulting in death. Davis pre- viously held out as a medical specialist in Rochester, Buffalo and other cities, m the United States and has in past years several times escaped well earned punishment for his practices, Some two years ‘ago he came to Toronto where he has been allowed to advertise himself in @ manner usual to specialists of | his class, THE CRIME. On the 3ist of July a pine box, containing the nude body of a young woman, was found ina secluded spot on the outskirts of the city, It was {dentifled as the daughter of Rey. Mr, Gilmour, a baptist minister, laboring at prosent in Muskago, she having come to this city a short time before to reside with some | friends here. By a long and singularly complete chain of circumstantial evidence her death has been laid, by the hands of tho law, at the door of Davis and his wife, who yesterday were sentenced to be hung on the 8th of December next. THE TRIAL has been going on all the week, and has been | watched by the public with most intense interest, | as the escape of Sparham and Graves from the gallows on a similar charge, at Brackville, some months ‘ago by commutation to the Penitentiary for life, had aroused a feeling of protty goneral indignation against those found guilty of practising the detestable crime. The court room has, therefore, been packed to its utmost capacity during the whole trial. The prisoners wore defended by tho ablest nist prius lawyer in Canada, Mr. M. C. Cameron, and the case for the Crown was conducted by Kenedy McKenzie, Q. C., not much inferior in ability. ‘THR RVIDENCE showed the doceased had been seen in Davis’ house shortly befote the finding of the body; that the prison- ers gave orders for making the box in which | it was found, {t being Identified by the | maker; that on the night previous to the | finding of the body. Mrs. Davis and an unknown party | were Seen at various points between Davis’ house and where the body were found and afterwards was observed | driving a wagon with such a box in it that a fow days bofore this, loud but partially | stifled screams were heard to proceed from Davis's house. When the body was found it was considerably decomposed, though it was identified by iriends of Miss Gilmour. THR MEDICAT TESTIMONY was, as usual, somewhat contradictory, but, in genoral, it tended to show that mechanical appliances had been the cause of death, It would appear that the intension of the parties bad been to bury the body in the sand pits near which it was found, bat having been frightened by a man discharking a pistol on his way home—he having just purchased it atd wished to test it—they had to leave their work unfinished. Another — circumstance which, being added to others, apparentiy trifling, | but forming links in a ‘continuous chain, brought the crime home to the guilty parties, was that nothing was placed with the corpse in the box, but some broken straw and some exactly same was found scattered around on the floor and | in an open mattrass in the room .of the pri- eonefs, they not having had’ time — to remove these and other evidences of guilt before arrest, Articles of wearing apparel and jewelry belonging to deceased were also found, apparoutly secreted in a hurry, not far from Davis’ house, These and yery many other such coincidences came ont during tho trial, making it altogether one most remarkable cases of circumstantial evidence in the an- nals of Canadian crime, ‘THE VERDICT. The jury retired last night at five o'clock, and fn | one hour and a ter returned with a ver- | dict of guilty against both prisoners. Justice Morrison, in pronouncing sentenee upon them, held out no hope of reprieve, and, though some think the sentence will be commuted, it is very im- | Probable. The government will risk going in the face of tho strong feeling which oxists that this detestable crime | should be stamped out by meting out oe ee annnment insuch cases as Day ene demeannr o the prisoners when sentence ed, roughout the appoarance of emotion. it rane Sey THE GERMAN CATHOLICS, THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE CENTRAL ASSOCIATION, Bartimonn, Oct, 17, 1875.

CORA HATCH-TAPPAN AT HOME AMONG THE SPIRITUALISTS. Last evening Republican Hall, ic West Thirty-third street, near Stxth avenue, was crowded with an audi- ence of Spiritualists, of both sexes, and of ‘the posi- tive, indefinite and imperfect grades’ of the sect, to welcome home Cora L. ¥, Hatch-Tappan, who has been for two years abroad enlightening the effete despotisms: and decaying monarchies of Europe with her views on Spiritualism. The audience were chiefly composed of people with long hair and angular faces, and many of them had brought green cotton umbretlas with them, which they pounded on the floor violently when & point was made by the speaker. Previous to the appearance of the fair lectaress, who fs inspired and clairvoyant, Brother Lyman c. Howe, who was dgscribea as “one | of the deepest philosophical reasoners on the spiritual rostrum,” held forth for half an hour ina dreary yot maddenning voice, on the beauties, benefits and beatitudes of Spiritualism, Mr, Howe, being a very deep, philosophical reasoner, did not, in the course of his address, use many words that had less than four syllables, and this of course made a profound impression on his hearers, Mrs, Hatch, who ts no longer blessed with the suuny golden ringlets that made her so well-known in days gone by, delivered an address on her spiritual experiences and the spiritual outlook in Europe, which she declared was most hopo- ful. The address of Mrs, Hatch, who was dressed in black silk, with white Irish lace around the throat, was showed evident culture of a high degree and excellent elocutionary power. IN A TRANCE STATE, At the close of the lecture Mrs, Hatch announced that she was about to go into a tranco state, and that Judge Edmonds, the eminent lawyer, who had been dead three years, would deliver a poom through her, the medium (Mrs. Hatch), on any subject that any per. son in the audience might choose to designate, The sub- jects were to be put in writing and were to be handed up to an old gentleman, near the rostrum, who acted as if he did not want to read all the communications | that might be sent. In a few moments a large number | of people in the audience were writing questions to be given on white slips of paper. Among thoso propounded and read were:—‘What Will Bo the Future of Women?” “The Immortality of the Soul,” “What Will Be the Education of Children in the Spirit Land ?"’ and others of. similar notices, which are always asked of mediums im the spiritual meetings held.in this city. Some of the sceptics, however, in the audience desired to asi questions of more definite bearing. Near where the HERALD reporter sat a young gentleman, whose tnaterial- ism shone out in every lineament of his features, had | written the following question on a sheet of white paper, which he showed to an aged but irascible Spirit ualist} who sat near him:— “Can Tammany win on the county ticket or will she be beaten ?”” ‘This was shown to the aged but trascible Spiritualist, who declared, in a yolce agitated by passion and lou enough to be heard plainly in the vicinity of the speaker:— ‘Don’t you dare to have such a question as that read, sir, in this meeting, sir, How dare you, sir, insult the spirit of Judge Edmonds by asking such i question, calculated to throw ridreule on,our holy cause, sir?” ‘The young man who wanted “to know’ got very red in the face and put his sheet of paper tn his pocket and did not show it again during the proceedings; but a frend of his, who sat near, nothin daunted, took out another sheet of paper an whispered, “Well, now Pil ask Judgo Edmonds a ques- tion, who knew me during his lifetime, and I don’t be- lieve he'll go back on it now. The question I will ask, and which 1s written, is his:— “ an Judge Edmonds inform an anxious inquirer if the vote will be close on Civil Justice in the Eleventh »)| Assembly district?’ ” NO POLITICS FOR PITANTOMS. “7 tell you, sir, if you have such a question as that read in the audienge you will raise a riot, sir, and I won’t answer for the consequences,” whispered the old gentleman of Spiritualistic tendencies and irritable temper. ‘Do you imagine, sir, for a mement that the spirit of Judge Edmonds, 1 another sphere, has nothing else to think of out Tammany politics? ‘I tell you, sir, that Judge Edmonds will. not meddle in local politics for you or @ hundred like you, sir.” Here the voice of the clairvoyant was heard enjoin- ing silence just a tnoment before reciting the poom on “Woman's Future,” which Judge Edmonds was speak- ing through Mrs. Hatch. ‘The young man who wanted information about the Eleventh Assembiy district, ob- serving that stnall tlecks of white foam were gathering on the lips of his irascible old Spiritualistic neighbor, did not press his question nor ask it to be read, and soon after the audience dispersed, but not until they had received a fervent benediction from Mra. Hateh, who gave it with streaming eyes and raised hands, OBITUARY. CARDINAL VITELLESCHI. A cable despatch from Rome announces the death of the nowly appointed Cardinal Vitelleschi. Cardinal! Vitelloschi, who belonged to the noble family of the Marquises Vitelleschi-Nobill, was born in Rome on the 28th of July, 1818, and was preconized Archbishop of Seleucia on the 19th of June, 1856, Ho was one of the most liberal among the Italian ecclesiastics, and for that reason his promotion to the dignity of cardinal was quite anexpected, as his opinions on many of the public questions of the day were known to beat variance with those which have prevailed at the Vatican since the accession of the prosent Pope. Although he had in the ordinary course of events been entitled to expect the red hat at-either of the two last creations, his elevation was somewhat unexpected. In point of fact he was looked upon as one whose religious-politi- cal proclivities had been in the past and were still such as to bar his advancement, at least during the present Pontificate. Considering the acts of Pius IX, at the commencement of his reign and the change which speedily followed and has gradually and contiy- ually progressed, it was wondered at that, in oppost- tion to external influence, His Holiness was induced to place his prelate among the number of those from whom his successor must be chosen, At the commencement of the present Pontificate Mgr. Vitelleschi was at the head of a society of secular clergy—men of attainments and study, | the major part of whom were occupied in educa- tional matters. It was from this society that the Labaro—the first ecclesiastical journal of liberal principles ever published — tn” Italy—emanated. After the restoration in 1850 Mgr.’ Vitelleschi’s distinguished social rank and position enabled him to extend a powerful and effectual protection to his former colleagues, who went by the name of the La- baristi, Even during the Vatican Council, in which he sat as Archbishop of Seleucia in partibus, the subject of | the dogma of infallbility was rogularly dis- cussed in his palaco in a senso unfavor- able to its promulgation, and when the ques- tion came to the voto Mgr. Vitellescht also pronounced his opinion in the conditional sense of the formula jurta modum, It is therefore not strange if many things have slipped—perhaps one might say have | been torn—from the Monsignore’s grasp by unseen, powerful hands. He was removed from the admints- tration of the Hospital of the Santo Spirito at the very moment when he was carrying out most ‘necessary reforms there, He ‘was named Nuncio to Naples, and whilo making | reaty to repair to his post the government of King Ferdinand intimated that it would not be agreeable to receive him. Pius IX. then conferred upon him | the Archbishopric of Osimo and Cingoli, and the | same unseen hands prevented his entering upon his | archiepiscopal oflice, Last year also an event occurred which for a time brought him under the displéasure of Pius IX., the oxient that an intimation that he would be required to rosign his ofiice of Secretary to the Congregation of Bishops and Regulars was itmminont. The Cashier of the Chapter of the Basilica of St. Peter's, of which Monsignore Vitelleschi was one of ‘he ‘administra tors, absco! d—his body was afterwards found at Teuticino—leaving a deficit ot some hundred or | more thousands of francs. The chiot blame was laid upon Vitelleschi’s shoulders for undue trust and insuficiont surveillance. Cardinal Boromeo, how- ever, who, as Archpriest of the Vatican Basilicia, was entitled to be heard in the matter, succeeded finally in convincing His Holiness that the loss was In no way due to negligence on the part of Mgr. Vitelleschi. All things considered, then, his elevation has created sur- prise, and among the’ secular clergy of Rome, who Would gladly hail him hereafter as theit bishop, con- siderable satistaction. Among the ever diminishing group of the Italian clergy, who aro not ultramontanes, and Italian Catho- Hie laymen, who have liberal views in politica, the death of Cardinal Vitelleschi will be looked upon as an irreparable loss, EDWARD SWEENY. bd Mr, Edward Sweeny, a well-known residont of the Seventh ward, dicd at hig rostdeuce in Henry streot yesterday morning, He was for many years an inhab- itant of the Fourth ward, from which district he was several times chosen to be a school trustee. Mr. Sweeny was a native of Cloghéen, county Tipperary, | Ireland, and was, at the time of his death, sixty years old. He was connected with several charitable associa. tions and was for many years the treasurer of the St Vincent De Paul's Society. CORNELIUS L. EVERITT.

JOHN MORRISSEY FINALLY DECLINES THE NOMINATION FOR SENATOR FROM THE YOURTH DISTRICT, Mr. John Morrissey will not accept the nomination for Senator from the Fourth district. The commitiee which was appointed on Saturday night at the meeting in Clinton street, to tender him the nomination, called upon him at noon yesterday, but found him proof against all their pleadings. Yet they wero not finally defeated, in their own minds, for they retired declaring that they would report to the convention from which they fcame that it is absolutely necessary to run Mr, Morrissey, In view of this determination of the pleaders with him, the much desired candidate wrote the following letter to the members of the committee :— MORRISSEY’S FINAL DECLINATION, Nuw York, Oct, 11, 1875. To Messrs. Gurvvtx, Mornauax, Witp, O’NxtL, Foro, Motoxx, Lyxou, Cowan ana others:— GustLexex—I am in receipt of your communication of the 16th inst., informing me that the Fourth Senato tial District Convention has chosen me as its candidate | for Senator at the ensuing election.

I differ with Tammany Hall in {ts policy of refusing to remunerate honest and deserving public servants simply because they refuse to be the tools of a cen- tralizing partisanship, These are, in brief, my opinions, and while the pur- poses you seek have my cordial ¢ympathy, yet, for the reasons I have given, I cannot subject my motives to criticism by accepting a nomination for any office. Thanking you again most sinceaely for the honor you have tendéred me, I am, yours respectfully, JOHN MORRISSEY, SUFFOLK POLITICS, The local nominations of both parties in Suffolk county, as just completed, aro as follows:— For Member of Assemb!y—Samuel B.

FRENCH AFFAIRS. An Abortive Conspiracy to Restore M. Thiers to Power. GAMBETTA ON THE STUMP. A Republic with Monarchical In- stitutions. Panis, Oct 4, 1875, M. Rouher has returned from Arenenberg, and the news that he has retained his old ascendancy over the mind of the Empress and her son is confirmed by the official organ of the Bonapartists M. Raoul Duval and the party in favor of immediate action are, therefore, snuffed out for the moment, It is said thas the Prince Imperial is in favor of tho seruten de liste, but this would seem very improbable, as the serutin d’arondisse- ment (or scrutin uninominal), with the greater power it gave to the prefect, or sub-prefect, to exercise his au- thority in favor of the government candidates was an | essential part of the imperial system, Ina district tho | personal influence of a great man is felt; in a depart- ment it is lost. ‘TIME BUPFRT-SAY IMBROGLIO isat an end. M. Say’s speech appears tn the offictal Journal, witha letter which he has addressed to the President of the Council explaining {taway. The vic- tory remains With M. Buffet, only the honors of war are accorded to his colleague. It 1s somewhat astonish- ing that M. Léon Say, who is a rich man, should care to stay tn office under such circumstances. Had he re- signed sooner than withdraw the manly words he spoke in favor of the Republic he would have been to-day the most popular man in France. The truth of tho late municipal crisis is that a conspiracy had been set on foot to bring about THE RESTORATION OF M. TITERS, and when it came to nothing the parties concerned got out of their scrape as well as they could. M. Thiers, however, is decidedly regaining influence, and any grave event occurring suddenly in France or in Europe would almost infallibly decide his recall to power. THE TEMPER OF THR CABINET, ‘The temper of MacMahon’s presont Cabinet may be inferred from one little fack M. Caillaux, Minister of Public Works, has been making a speoch at the meeting of the Agricultural Soctety at Mans, After the banquet the Minister's health was drunk, ‘“Gentlemon,” said M. Caillaux in returning thanks, “I take this oppor- tunity to propose the health of the President of the Republic,” M. Caillaux’s speech is inserted in the offl- cial journal, but the sentence in which he proposed the health of the President of the Republic 1s omitted, ‘There ts evidently to be no taint of the word republic in te official literature of France just now, though the Marshal President’s proclamations are headed “Ré publique Frangaise.” The fact is France is gov- erned by A REPUBLIC WITH MONARCHICAL INSTITUTIONS. Tt possesses dukes, barons, princes and a whole host of privileged classes, who would by and by grow into castes as exclusive as the Brahmins if the republican business were permanently continued under existing forms. In the Cabinet council to be held to-morrow the pro- motions and transfers in the prefectoral body will be sgttled. It would appear that tho prefectships aro not absolutely at the disposalof the Minister of the Inte- rior and that the best of them are Cabinet appoint- ments, It may be regarded as a certainty that Orlean- ists, whether avowed or disguised, will alone profit by the next shuffle of thecards. An item of news from Corsica is worth notinge It is the custom to vote out of the local funds an allowance of 1,000 francs annually for house rent to the Secretary Gen- eral of the Prefecture. The Council Gencral, which has the control of the local funds, has just (vy 21 votes to 13) suppressed this allowance because tho present Secretary General, M. Bossu, is not a Bona- partist, It was in vain that the Prefect of Corsica, M. Daunassans, pleaded the good services of M. Bossu, ‘This seems to show that the Councils General are to a certain extent independent of the central authority and its representatives and that the French really have more local self-government than they imagine. Of course no one will be surprised to learn that three of those who voted against the grant were ex-Secretarics General, who had found no objection whatever to it while in office. The Juge do Patx of the Eighth Circumscription has placed seals on the effects of the late General Frossard at the request of the Minister of War. His Excellency thought some of the deceased officers papers inight be interesting from @ State point of view. Probably they are; but the pic- ture of true liberty and of the sanctity of home called up by this circumstance is refreshing, General Fros- sard was the friend of the Emperor and governor of the Prince Imperial. Perhaps sofme documents at his house may be extremely compromising to sundry per- sonages in high office at the present moment, From the accession of Ollivier to the fall of the Empire it may be suspocted that a good many now considered political purists wore intriguing for “the honor of serving” Napoleon III. No questions of importance have been yet put to Ministers by the Yermanent Committee of the Ver- sailles Assembly, whoso function it is to watch over the proceedings of the executive power during the recess, The LATEST THING OUT IN POLITICS is a project. belonging to M. de Plouc for punishing persons who send false news by telegrams to agitate tho Stock Exchange. The Duke d’Audiffret-Pasquier has promised to address the government on this sub- Joct. A fow days ago the Indépendance Belge put these words into the mouth of MacMahon :— “My line of conduct is marked out by my duty, and my duty is to conform to the votes of the majority of the Chamber. If, then, M. Buffet places himself in such a situation that he cannot remain at the head of the Ministry, I shall find a successor for him. Like many others, you wish to hold up the serutin de liste a8 a ecarecrow for me. You say that if it is adopted the Chamber which will result from it will be composed of disturbing elements, This does not appear to be absolutely proved. For that matter I nave re- ports which make my mind easy on that point.” The Moniteur has now come forth with a semi-official denial that the Marshal ever directly or indirectly used such language, Thereupon ordinary liberals observe that the denial ts afar moro serious matter than the Jangunge attributed to the President, and they anx- jously ask whether {t is meant to imply that MacMaton does not feel 1} his duty to govern in accordance with the votes of the Assembly. Aspecialtelogram tothe République Frangaise ro- ports :— “During the stoppage of the train at Pontarlier M. Gambetta gave to a democratic deputation an exposé of the political situation. His brilliant improvisation, which was full of hope in the futuro and responsive to expressions of confidence from those who heard him, was ‘| applauded by a large crowd with shouts of ‘Vive la Ré- publique!” Gambotta evidently wishes tokeep quiet for the pres- ent, but it seems to be a law of tho man’s nature to bubble over every now and then.

The case came before'the Correctional Police. The Procureur de la République pleaded that three if not four persons had been present Without.cards of invitation; also and moreover, that M. Lacheret had preached with the windows open, and that passers-by might have heard what he said and probably did a0. ‘The Court fined M. Lacherét twenty-five francs for bisy sermon, twenty-five more for distributing tracts without a license, and costs, YACHTING NOTES.

A very serious wreck was thus caused. ‘Tho starboard cathead was also carried away, It wild probably take a wook to repair the damage. The ‘obawk is now at the foot of North Seventh street, Williamsburg. ROMANCE IN A RESTAURANT. In the year 1778 there died in the city of Copenhagem an eccentric merchant who had once been wealthy, but whoso fortune had by unsiiccessful speculation bea re- duced to 3,000 rix dollars, Two-thirds of this amount he invested ‘for the benefit of his descend. ants” and provided by will that neither principal nor fnterest should be drawn for 100 years, Long before the expiration of that time the singular provision was forgotten, and his descendants, even it they knew his name, thought no more of him than of any other remote progenitor, About two yeurs ago the will was discovered by a lawyer who had occasiom to examine certain old documenis on file in the Regis- ter’s office in Copenhagen. The lawyer took the matter in hand and — diligent’ inquiry found the heirs scattered through ali the countries of Western Europe, and that one had found her way to America. The latter was a Mrs. Julius Knochendup- 1, a native of Hamburg, who came to New York where she was married in 1863, Knochenduppul {s a waiter employed im Mouquin’s res- taurant on Fulton street, or rather, he was employed there until o few days ago, when an official note from the Register of Wills im Copenhagen informed his wife that she was heir to $80,000, and directing her to present her claim im Petson as soon as possible, Knochenduppul lived tm indigent circumstances in Hoboken, with his wife, twe children and his wife's mother. He was in arrears for rent and had beon threatened with qjectment from the houge ho occupied; but on the strength of his letter from Denmark he was able to borrow enough money to transport himself and family to Copenhagen and main~ tain them there until the ig! eritance can be collected, .
