Oliver White and Other Relatives May 1 Claim Philadelphia Estate, Oliver White, who lives on what is | known as the Gilbert place, near the | ilroad south from Franklin street, is believed to be an heir, one of sev leral, to a fortune amounting to $8,- 000,000, invested principally in real | estate in Philadeiphia. Attorneys who have charge of the settlement of ihe estate have been ‘in communication | with Mr. White and it is expected that | something more definite will be known | about the matter in a short time. | The story connected with the proba- bility of Mr. White coming in for a share of the big fortune is an intense- | ly interesting one, and develops around the life experience of an uncle of tho local Mr. White, who is & son of the late Oliver White, in business for many years at the place that he own- ed on Railroad square. When a youth, with an unquencha- | ble longing for adventure, it is relat- | d, a brother of the late Oliver White, ", and_therefore an uncle of the | Oliver White now sesident in Daniel- son, ran away from home and enlisted for service in the civil war. After the | great_conflict, this boy came to Phil- adelphia, where a man of wealth and | without children of his own, conceived |8 special liking for him, eventually adopting him and meking him his heir, Tn the years the two men remained to- gether the fortune of the older man | Continued to grow griater and greater, and upon his death, there being no blood relatives of the financier, the fortune passed without contest to Mr. | White, ! "The’ first heard of the fact by the local relatives of ths latter was about three years ago, when, following the death of Mr. White, who was known as aBlanche, an effort was made by at- torneys to locate his heirs. Mr. White, o1 LeBlanche, also died withqut wife or ckildren, and the problem now pri sented is to locate all of his heirs elig- ble to be counted in on the sharing of the mammoth estate, The local | Whites know little of their million- aire uncle, but there seems no doubt that they are legal heirs to his great estate. Mr. White has three sisters. formerly residents of Danielson. There are aiso brothers and sisters of the deceased Mr. White in other eastern Cennecticut town FRENCH PLAYS Please Large Audience as Interpreted by Local Amateurs.

There was a story circulating in | Putnam Thursday to the effect that the fire which destroyed the big barn at the Windham county home for ~hil- dren Wednesd; as set by one of the boys who is an inmate of the_institution, When asked as to the authenticity of the report, Supt. Job Thatcher would not deny or verify it. 'He said that an investigation as to the cause of the fire was being made; that there ‘were many things to be considered and that he had nothing to say at Ppresent, Some of the children in the home reported to Mrs. Thatcher, the matron, goon after the fire started, that they saw three disreputable men coming from the barn and that the men chased them, and the children went so far as to describe one of the men, Thurs- day's story fs a later version and which one contains the more truth will be_demonstrated in due time. Mr. Thatcher sald Thursday that the livestock which was at the burned barn is now being kept at Marvin El- liott's place, not far from the home This arrangement will be inconveni- ent as compared with the regular order of things, but it is a satisfactory one, everything considered. The county will build another struc- ture to replace the one destroyed, but just when this work will commence is uncertain.

Worcester Machinist and Nurse Seek Putnam to Be Marri The epidemic of Massachusetts, es- pecially Worcester, couples coming to Putnam to get married, continues un- abated. The latest pair to be united here in bonds of matrimony was A1la M. Hogland, 44, a nurse, of Worcester, and Warren C. Hapgood, 47, of the same city, he being a machinist. The bride was a widow, the groom a wid- ower, Like the other recent Bay state cou- ples who have been married here, they were anxious to avoid the five days’ notice of intent to marry law that is in force in the state across the border. After taking out the required li- | cense in the office of Town Clerk Da- vid Flagg they inquired where a cler- gyman could be found. It happened that Rev. J. R. Stubbert of the Bap- tist church was in Mr. Flagg's store at the time, and he married them—not in the store, as was at first reported, but at the Baptist parsonage. The Hapgoods are the third Massa- chusetts couple that have been mar- d in Putnam within a week. FRENCH DRAMA Witnessed by Pleased and Partial Au- dience at St. John’s Hall.
