Millionaires Who Have Accumu-~ lated Their Money in All Sorts of Enterprices. Mon Who Have Started Poor and Have Grown to be Wealthy. The rich men of New York-—the V. derbilts, the Goulds, the Astors ry- body knows about. The New York Sun has got together an interesting collection of stories abodt the rich men of other cities, men, who have not such a national reputation. There 18 no one in Philadel- phia, according to the Sun, who is partic cularly noted for his wealth, The aver- age Philadelphian would be puzzled to tell who are the richest citizens, but in Third street, where the brokers are ac- customed to sizing up fortunes, the wealthiest men are reported to be Mr. William, Weightman, Mr, Frank Drexel, and Mr, 1. V. Williamson. These gentle- men are supposed to be worth ten or twelve millions each, It is curious that not one of these men has a hobby of any sort. { " All live camparatively quiet lives, They aze not foud of fast horses,or yacht- ing or of coaching, Their names are ne’er mentioned in public meetings, and they aro never heard of in polites, Mr. Weightman has made his money out of quinine. The firm of l‘uwu-l_'n & Weightman fora long time practically had a moncpoly of this business, Ol in his shirt sleoves at almost any time in his chemic- al works, at Ninth and Parish streets, Mr. Powers is dead. Mr. Waightman has grown up in the business, and & visit- or at the works would not know him from the foreman of a department. His fortune must be accumilating rapidly He may give away money, but if he does 80 he does it insecret. He makes no do- nationsin public. His dauchteris the wife of R. J. C. Walker of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, ex congressman. Mr. L. V. Williamson is a dla‘fll‘l}ll' sort of a man. Heisa director®f the Philadel- phia & Reading railroad. In early life he was a dry goodsmerchant and invested his money in railway stock. He never purchased on margins. His plan was to administrators of his father's estate. Not long ago he was made the victim nl_n most surprising attempt at blackmail, This is the first public allusion to the case that has been made, and the detailed facts aro almost beyond reach. This much is known, that enormous demands for ecash were made and a plot to place Mr. Sears in a compremising position was laid with great skill. The blackmailers spent some thousands of dollars in preparing it and carried on a voluminous correspondence with _their intended victim, and finally lost all they had risked and fled from the country The chief of the conspiracy was driven mad by the failure of his great strike for riches, and is now an inmate of an Amer ican insan- asylum. One or two of the leaders of the conspiracy were the most dangerous of Parisian blackmailers, and part of the plot was laid abroad and Mr. " detectives were compelled to make one or two trips to Paris before the con- spiracy was fully broken up. RICH MEN OF THE WEST. John D. Rockefeller is the richest man in Cleveland, and is worth in the neigh- borhood of §156,000,000. Every dollar of this vast sum was made, directly or indi- rectly, out of the Standard Oil cempany, Mr. Rockefeller is forty years of age and comes of Scotch ancestry. When a young man he was a ccmmission mer- chant. He started a small distillery as an experiment, the nucleus of the Stand- ard Oil company. He is superintendent of the Second Baptist church, and his wife, a former school teacher, teaches the infant class, J. H. Wade is the sec- ond richest man in Cleveland, He is worth perhaps £6,000,000. He was orig inally a poor carpenter., Forty years ago 1o becano an amateur photographer and portrait painter, and thirty-seven years ago he took the firat daguerreotypo ever made west of New York city. Mr, Wade was the originator of the Western Union Telegraph corupany. Few persons familiar with the great estates of Chicago will question the statement that the largest is that of Cyrus H. McCormick, which is estimated by financiers at from $10,000,000 to £15,000,000. He made it in manufac- turing reaping machines, Probably the second in rank is Marshall Field, who iy not over 48 years of age. He is a native of Conway, Mass., and at an early day entered a dry goods store, When Potter Palmer, during the war, decided toaban- don mercantile life, Mr. Field had $35,- 000 or so with which to purchase the chief interest in.the valuable plant. It s00n became apparent that he had finan- buy stork outright whon there wasa break in the market and hold it. He has been very successful. Mr. Williamson isa very benevolent man. He gives a great deal of monoy to all sorts of chari- table institutions. Mr. Francis A. Drex- el is at the head of the banking house of Drexel & Co, Ho lives ina handsome house in Walnut strect, above Fifteenth. His lifois very quiet. Ho is passionately fond of music and is never happier than when seated at his organ and surronnded by alarge collectionof musical works. He is a devout Catholic and gives laigoly to charities, but always through church channels. A BENEVOLENT MAN AND A MISER, The richest man in the District of Col- umbia is probably tho venerable W. W, Corcoran. His great start as a capitalist wag made during the Mexican war, when he bought government bonds when they were far below par and held them till they were redcemed at their face value. inco this fortunate speculation he has s!mnt his business life in banking and in the care of his property, which is reputed to be worth $3,600,000, Of late years, BRACES!

Mr. Willard alone knows how much he is worth. The conjectures of well-informed citizens vary by millions, Some guess he is not worth a million; others believe he is worth any- whero from five to ten millions, *‘Joe” Willard is an odd oharacter, He lives all alone in a_plain, old-fashioned house in Fourteenth street, near Fstreet, which is always kept closed. He has no friends and 1o haunts; takes part in no public or business enterprises which involve social relations; indulges in no sports or social engagements; never goes to church; has uw family, except one son, who lives awny from home; nover speaks with his two brothers, Hewry and Caleb, with whom he quarrelled long years ago, and, in ghort, meets the world at as few points of contact as possible. His sole aim, apparently, 18 to accumulate money, and i this he has been marvellously suocess- ful. He owns one-half of Wiilard's hotel and a large quantity of real estate in the district, and is the largest holder of government bonds in Washington, Few residents of Waihinton havo ever scen this odd millionaure, for one of his eccen- tricitiea is to rarely leave his house in the daytime. After nightfall, however, it is his custom to sally forth and walk about town to inspect his property, and Mrs. Grundy observes that he always goes back into his house by the basement door and then bolts everything carefully up for the night, He attends to his rents himself and as fast as he collects his money goes to a bauk or the treasuryand buys govern- mont bonda, GREAT FORTUNES IN BOSTON, The namen of rich men of Boston stand in about this order: Fred L Ames,Jno, M. Forves, Joseph B. Thomas, J. Mont- yomery Sears, Benjamin F, Cheney, Au- gustus Hemenway. The list of million aires contana some one hundred and eight names, according to the assessor’s list, a ratio of just one in one thousand e number of porsons assessed. Mr. Ames is theonly one whose name is familliar to tha public, and he is known chiefly as the son of Oakes Ames and the brother of the millionaire lieutenant.gov- ernor, The bost estimate of Mr. Amea’ fortune makes it between 22,000,000 and $26,000,000. He is assessed for 815, 000.000 He is & quiet unassuming busi ness man, about fifty yoars old. The nu- cieus of his fortune, some tive or six mil- lions, he obtainad by inheritance, and his chief Aim has been the development «f his father's groat enterprise,the Union Pacific railroad, * Business men estimate John M. For- bes' wealth at about $16,000,000. He is » man of whose !:sunnll life his business asaociates learn but little. He is an old fashioned Beston merchant. He made money first in the carrying trade, then in the commission business, and the bulk fortune in Western railroad enter- prises. Mr, Forbes' residence is a fine old country seat at Milton, whence he often drives into his Boston office. His summer house is a most delightful spot on the island of Naushon, is Buzzard's bay. 5. Montgomery Sears is one of the youngest of Boston millionaires, He is not yet thirty, and en attaining his ma. jority he received his millions from the NS, o e cial abilities of the highest order and he now stands at the head of the merchant princes of Chicagn, His wealth is esti- mated at from §4,000,000 to $7,000,000. There are many shiewd business men who insist that the second richest man in Chicago is Philip D. Armour. He has had sume wonderful strokes of Juck and has been known to hint that he had $10,- 000,000 in cash with which to work cor- ners. It is quite well known that he has been caught on the losing ride this year to the tune of millions. But for this he would probably take the second instead of the third rauk. He has made his money pork packing. Alexander Mitchell, by all odds the richest man in Miiwaukee. He is, in fact, the richeat man n the northwest. His wealth is variously estimated, all the way from $30,000,000 to $50,000.000, He is cortuinly worth about $15,000,000 in solid property- Mr. Mitchell is short Scotchman, with a round, rudy face, and is & good liver, and & man whose ono great hobby is business. e cannot exactly be called self-made as he was hacl.od by a great corporation, which furiished to him the means of embark- ing in the banking business, Still, thirty years ago, when Milwaukee was & strug- gling village, T occupied a little office, AN ARMY OF EAGER HEIRS, A Colored Woman's $50,000 Fortune. Philade’pin Times. Common _pleas court No. 2 yesterday referred to Lawyer Jorome V. Masterson for audit an account in the estate of Mrs, Henrietta R. Daniels, colored, in which several extraordinary legal questions have arrisen, Mrs, Daniels, the papers in the case set out, died in Philadelphia a few months ago and left $50,.000 worth of property that 18 claimed by an army of her own and her husband's collateral heirs. The case is in many respects re markable and the proceedings are watch- ed with great interest by members of the bar and friends of the dead woman, as wellas those who expect to receive shares of the estate, | farmers about three weeks ago on complaint of It was decided to make an ex- ample of hin, and try him under the Oho tramp law. Hix #cial in set for next Wednesday. Last night Allen G. Shep- herd, of Springfield Massachusetts, arriv- ed here from Lynn, Massachusetts. He has proved conciusively that the tramp is none other than Zach Clendenth, who has been missing for eight years. His father, now dead, was an extensivo planter in South America. He left a largo fortune amounting to £200,000 to hismissing son, The mother of the tramp, who is & con firmed invalid, lives in New York, but is now in Europe in search of health, It is thought the fellow is of unsound mind, — Angostura Bitters is a_household word all over the world. For over 50_years it has advertised itself by ita merita, It is now ad- vertised to warn the pub 15t counter. Henrietta Robinson, the maiden name of M Daniels, war born near Charles- ton, 8. C., in 1822, and was one of the many slaves of Aundrew P. Dwight, a wealthy planter, She waa light in color, pretty and intelligent, When Henrietta was 12 years of age her master sent her a8 a Christmas present to his sister, Mra. Fraily of Charleston. Mrs, Fraily, how- ever, had no use for the girl, and wanted to send her back. Mr. Dwight then said he had too many useless slaves about his house, and asked his sister to hire the girl to some ono who would pay well for her services. Henrietta was rented to Mrs, Furness, a dress maker, and ina few years later Mr, Dwight was receiving $40 a month from tho dressmaker for the vervices of his slave. In six years Henri- etta savod enough money over and above wages to buy, tor )00, her mother, who still lived on Mr. Dwichts plantaticn, CHEATED BY A DISHO! ‘T MASTER. When the last of the money was paid Dwight refused to allow the old woman to join her daughter in Charleston, anying that it was enough for her to kn /w that ehe was free. Nor would he ref the purchase money. Mrs, Furness heard the story, hought Henrietta from Dwight for 81,600, and then brought suit to compol him to either give the old woman her freedom or return the §900 paid for her. Dwight won thesuit, the court holding that Henrietta's earnings were as much his property as she was The old woman went back into slavery and died. Henrietta then bought her own free- dom, Mrs. Furness allowing her to put in her wages as partial payment. After purchasing her treedom she murried Asa Daniels, a blacksmith, and tive years later ®he bought him out of slavery, pay- ing 81,600, In about fifteen years this woman had bought her mother, herselt and her husband. Danie’s and his wife wanted to come north at once, but Mrs. Furness, who had a great affection for Henrietta, in- duced her to consent to remain in Charles- ton until Daniels had found employment inone of the northern cities. Daniels came to Philadelphia, and on Pine street found work in a blacksmith shop, which he afterwards own. A PRESENT OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS l A few months later Mrs. Furness was | taken sick and died, but not before she | tiad given Henrietta $10,000 in bank- notes as a reward for her faithfulness She also bequeathed to her a house in harleston, hut as collateral heirs of the dead woman centested the will Mrs. Daniels came north to join her husband. Shortly after she left it was discovered thata few days before her deatn Mis Furness had drawn $10,000 from a hank. The money could neither be found nor accounted for. The assumption was that Mrs. Daniels had stolen it, and ofticers set ouw inp it of her. In Richmond Mra. Daniel Teurned that she was being hunted. She sacreted herself thero for which for many years he swept out and took care of himself. Half of his wealth was made in the banking business, and the other half out of the railroads. He boasts that he never made a dollar by speculation, Henry Shaw, of St. Louis, an English- man, is worth §7,600,000. He is a bac elor. The foundation of his fortune was luid in the fur trade, but the bulk of it was acquired by fortunate land invest- ments. David Stinton, who is worth perhaps £6,000,000, is the richest man in Cincinnati. He wmade his money in the manufacture of iron. John Hill, of St, Paul, president of the St. Paul, Minne- apolis & Ma itoba road, is worth prok- ably $9,000,000. Three conservative men, two of them presidents of large banks, gave estimates of Mr. Hill's wealth, which averaged §9,600,000, 1In anawer to tho question, *“Who are the richest men in St. Paul?” a'l but one put Mr. Hill first. Denis Ryan came second, with no difinite ficures, One banker said: “All wo know is that he shows immense money at times. Heisa mys. tery.” Commodore Kitson (owner ' of cameo third, with about . KICH MEN TN THE S0UTH. There are a number of rich men in the Southern states, The richest man in Baltimoro is the venerable but vigorons founder of the Baltimoro Sun, Arunal 8, Abell. Tt is ditticult to say how much he is worth; not less than a dozen mil- lions certainly, and the amount of his fortune is variously estimated at any figure up to $20,000,0C0. The second largest purse in Baltimore is probably carried hv Ross Winans, the son of the famous Thomas Winans, who made a matter of §20,000,000 in building rail. roads for the czar of Russia, and left as much to his two children, Rows and Celeste, when he died some ten years ago. This fortune has not been allowed to grow less. Winaus has recently built himeelf a castle in St Paul street, James B, Pace is the richest man in Richmond. His fortune is estimated at $1,200,000 and all of it has been made since the war out of tobucco, His ab. sorbing interests aro the Methodist re- ligion and politics, Charles E, Whit lock in ranked as tho second richest man His wealth is estimated at §760,000.. He made his money by saving his earnings while & clerk for ten years, and then cautiously embarked in the lumber busi- ness. Mr, William B. Smith is generally con- ceded to be the wealthiest citizen of Charleston. He ts rated at between $1.- 000,000 aad §2,000,000, although he is down on the municipal tax books at only $275,000, This, however, does not in- clude his bank stocks and other non-tax. able property. Mr, Smith has three daughters, all marnied. Ho owns a wharf or two and carrics on the business of a cotton factor, By pnrulur opinion, as well as by the record of the assessment rells, O], Ed, Richardson, president of the World's In- dustrial and Cotton Centennial exposi- tion is declared to be the richest man in Now Orleans, A large part of his wealth is in plantations on the Missiseippi river “ut he awns much real ustate. wnd the firm of Richardson & May. tors, of which he is member, pays taxes on a capital of §3,000,000. 2ol Richardson is a nutive of North Caroling u‘nfl‘-\- P;;;- in 1818 Ha hecame o clork ina 00ds store in ' Danv.l ¢, Va. |in 18824 ¥ y cotten fac several weoks, and was finully brought to Philadelphia by an agent of tho under- ground railroad. _All this time she had in her possession Mrs. Furness’' written acknowledgment of the gift of money, but previous experience made Henrietta dread the decisions of the Charleston courts, Upon her arrival here sho en gaged o lawyer, who at once notitied the Charleston authorities of the true facts n the case, and there the matter ended. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels bought a house on South street and lived there many years. Bofore Daniels dicd, i+ 1879, he and hia wife owned two blacksmith shops and a <core of tenement nouses in the center of the city. They had one son, who was drowned in the Delaware four oc five years ago, AFTER A S8LICE OF THE PROPERTY. When old Mrs Daniels died a host of her and her husband's distant relatives came forward and clasimed the estate, The property was sold by order of the court and tho money paid into the court. Mr, Masterson. will, a3 auditor, arrange a distribution of the funds, The law- yers of the collateral heirs of Mrs. Dan- iels hold that her husband’s relatives lave no just olaim upon tho estate, he having been her slave by purchaso. The legal adviser of tho relatives of Mr. Daniels argue, however, that when he camo north he becrame a freo man and her equal, and that as the Philadelphia property was in his name it should be divided among them Horstord's Acut Fhosphate For Wakefulness, Dr. Wx, P, Crotuieg, Buffalo, N.

The man was excited, The mule was not. A crowd of idlers formed a ring and gazed stolidly at the efforts of the man to start the mule. The mule steod still. There was about the mule an air of gentle exuberance, mingled with a re- serve, that protected her from the point- ed remarks of coarse men. Her eye—a largo and soulful orb—looked downward, and her ample ears sloped coyly toward a drooping tail. Her legs wers spread out like the legs of a four-logged stool, and sho seemod quite restful and attimes oven distrait. The man was trying to batter in the mule's ribs with a bung starter borrowed from a neighboring truck. Large beads of sweat stood on the man’s brow and stupendous romarks fell from his lips as the bung starter fell with awe-inspiring thuds upon tho neatly defined ribs of the mule. A policsman sauntered thrsugh the crowd. *‘Phy don’ th’ muhl go an?” he asked haughtily. | “‘Bokase ho stays whero he is,” an- swered the driver. “Don't be lippy, you.” “‘Eat a brick, y’ tarrier. The driver and the policeman thrust their chins forward and glared into each other's eyes for several minutes, while an artful smile stole over the moble features of the mule, her ears waved gently. Sud- denly there was a rushing sound’ in the air, and a howl of warning arose from the crowd as the mule gathered her hoofs under her and shot them out in four direction all at once. One of the hoofs came within twoinches of the policeman’s nose, and he at one fell upon the driver with a howl of ferocity, jammed him against a tolegraph pole,and choked him half tc death wlhile ho poured a stream of rugged adjectives into his ear. Then he shouk the driver until his teeth chat. tered, and cast him against the mule. The driver picked up the bungstarter and resumed his exercise upon the mule with a downcast air, while the policeman yanked at the bit. The mule seemed mmore or less annoyed, but still smiled Then the policoman, the driver, and some volunteers got at the wheels of the cart and tried to roll it agaiustthe mule’s hind legs. They succecded in doiny this, but it only amused the mule. Then the vol- unteers stopped and mopped their'fevered brows, while the mule looked commiser- atingly around upon them. It was at this moment that a small and stnmpy negro emerged from the crowd and walked around in front of the mule and lovked steadily into the mule’s eye and stroked one of her ears, “*Phat's th’ coon doin’ wid th' mule?” usked the policeman, “U'm & mezermerisin’ ob dis hesh an- imile, T am,” said the negro inan injured tone. ‘‘He don’t like de I-rash.” Then he communed with the mule again, went to the cart, climbed to the seat, said *'G'on dar!” and gently prodded the mule with his «oe. ~ Without an in stant’s hesitation the mule started off at a togyle-jointed trot, and whirled around e Shaky, serawny, diseased persons find afriend in Sumaritan Nervine, $1.50 of druggists, ‘¢ Samaritan Nervine cured me of general debility nnd dyspepsia,” writes Michael O'Connor, Galesburg, 11l.
