A Big Windfall.

About the biggest thing in the way of
windfall that has been chronicled, for lol
these many days, has come TO light within
the past few days in this city. During
the winter months Cobb 81 Branham have
had in their employ man by the name
OF ID. A Bruin, who has engineered
coal cart with signal skill and ability.
Bruin lived on Yandes street with wife
and three children, and has been in some
what straitened circumstances. Mr. and
Mrs. Bruin lived In the Lehigh Valley,
Pennsylvania, many years ago, and near
ly twenty years ago Mr. Burns, the father
of Mrs. Bruin, decided her and her broth
er a 1,000-acre tract of mountain land
which was then comparatively valueless,
and was chiefly productive of underbrush
and rattlesnakes. The Bruins moved west
shortly after this, at length finding a haven
in Indianapolis. The brother remained
in Pennsylvania, but at some distance
from his mountainous possessions, and
consequently knew but little about il,
though the taxes were prudently kept paid
up, as it was expected that the land might
increase in value. Not having he adj
vantage OF very extensive education, in
fact being meagerly endowed in this re-
gard, the brother and sister have not car
ried on much of correspondence nor
kept a very close watch on their property,
being quite In ignorance Of its value.
Imagine, then, the surprise of the worthy
Bruin and his wife at receiving call
from party of Eastern capitalists, about
ten days ago, and an offer of 100000 for
a tenyear lease of the aforesaid tract The
cautious couple concealed their feelings
and asked the advice OF friends upon the
best course to pursue in the matter. They
were advised to wait, and accordingly an
nounced that they would not at once ac-
cept the offer. The men returned east,
and three or four days since another set
of capitalists from Pennsylvania called
upon them and. after the usual amount OF
dickcring, proposed to give $400, 900 for a
ten. years lease Of the ground, 800 900 to
be paid on the lst Of July next, and the
balance in nine annual payments. This
proposition was accepted, aud the gen.
tlemen left for Nevada TO look after other
mining interests. They will return in
few days, and the Bruins, accompanied
by member of the firm of Cobb 81 Bran
ham, will 60 to Pennsylvania and close
the compact. Mr.. and Mrs. Bruin are
past the prime OF life, but bid fair to live
many years to enjoy their suddenly-ac-
quired wcalth.-Indtaaap0tis Journal

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

A PARIS special of the 10Th 10 the London
Telegraph says the Mussulman Inhabitants oil
Piedor, In Bosnia, had attacked the Chris.
tian quarter o! the town, and massscred 100
women and children. 1t was expected that
the widows OF the murdered French and
English Consuls at salonics would each re.
ceiye 100000 as indemnity from the Turkish
Government.
Sin SAMUEL BUCKLEY, an English NJ. r.,
Is bankrupt, with liabilities amounting TO
o., 100000. He was manufacturer Of chem
calls, OF brick aud tiles, and coal and lime
merchant.
2lst grave apprehensions prevailed In Con.
| stantinople In respect to the Sultan's mental
condition. He is said TO be subject TO periods
Of delusion when be fears that he will be
burned alive or poisoned.
DIsRAELI stated, In the British Parliament,
on the ED, that 1t was not the intention of
the Government at present 10 amnesty the
Fenian prisoners. An animated and exciting
debate followed, and the subject was dropped
by mutual consent.
THE proposition to amnesty the eonyicts
OF the Commune was rejected In the French
Senate on the 22d by an almost unanimous
vote.
A BERLIN special Of the 22d says II was
the Intention Of The Sultan OF Turkey To alb
dictate his throne within short time.
A LONDON telegram, Of the Esd, says that,

An AecO MN odating Second husband.

A savings. bank Cashier Of this city is
the unconscious hero of a very good joke,
which, by the way, he relates himself. He
Is now happy husband. Only few
months ago he WAS the engaged of a
fascinating widow (bis present wife, who
is well known In literary circles, and an
attendant OF the Sorosis reunions. Dur
ing the engagement, an event occurred
which made il necessary for the widow TO
change the investment OF some of her
funds. Naturally, she sought the advice
OF her intended husband. he has now,
and always had, "a horror of seeming To
marry woman tor money, and frankly
said To her on this occasion that, as they
were shortly TO be married, and he had
sufficient property for both, she had bet
ter expend her funds in any way that
might please her. She disclaimed any
desire To spend II, and, not to be outdone
IN frankness, told him that the money had
been left to her by her first husband, and
she did not care TO expend 1t foolishly.
AT last happy thought occurred to the
Cashier, and he mentioned IL to the Wild
ow. AS the money came from her first
husband, why not expend it In erecting a
handsome monument TO his memory, She
eagerly adopted the suggestion, and to-
gcthcr they began 10 plan how it should
be done. The next day several marble.
workers were requested To send In designs
for "A monument. The funniest part of
the story Is that the Cashier actually
wrote the epitaph, praising the virtues of
the deceased, and IL Is now almost finished
in a marble workers on Thirty second
street. The intention was To have the
monument completed before the mar
the work, and doubtless the wife loves
him all the more for his disinteredness.
