False Heir.

Special TO the Chicago Tribune
P~ITTsBURG, Pa, May 9 "A Tichborne
case on q small scale was decided in
Butler county, Pa, to-day. Thirty
years ago a young girl named Emily
Ward left her home ear Petrolia, In
that county. All traces OF her were
lost, and It was believed by her parents,
brothers and sisters that she was dead.
A few weeks ago q woman appeared
at the old homestead, which, 10 conse-
auence of the oil discoveries, has ba-
come valuable, and claimed 10 be the
long lost Emily. Her claim was at
fret admitted BY the family. In
a few days, owing to conflicting
stories which the woman told,
doubt was thrown upon her identity,
aud che was dismissed as an imposter.
She then brought suit to recover her
share Of the estate. A large amount
of testimony was introduced, showing
that the claimant was Margold Hill,
daughter Of George Hill, Of New York,
and not Emily Ward. The genuine
Emily was traced TO Meadville, where
she died in 1858. The facts were
brought out 90 distinctly 90 to COM
pleteIy nonplus the %pretender, aud
were 90 satisfactory to the Jury that
they brought IN a verdict for defend
ants. About a dozen of the best law
yers in the State were employed on
either side. The estate is valued at
$500 900.

Clarke, Mrs.. Thompson, Mrs. Allen and

Q the Manifestations Of surprise and
pleasure on the part Of Sir Knights,
they would have more fully realized
the vaiue aud excellence Of Main street
school. The visitors could not find
terms strong enough to express their
admiration, aud we venture 10 say that
among the many pleasant memories OF
US which they will carry away with
them, this school, the pride and hope OF
Vicksburg, will occupy the most promi'
nent place. One of the most attractive
features Of the exhibition was o recita-
ton by little Miss Bertha SchaTff-

cises, the whole school was brought Ia,
and Col. ]. L, Power, by request of
Eminent Commander Fairchila, re.
turned the thanks Of the Commandery
for the entertainment afforded them By
the beautiful exhibition. His remarks
were very interesting, instructive and
highly complimentary TO the school.
Rev. j. B. Linn, Grand Pselate Of the
Commandery, also made aAfew re-
marks, saying that the Sir KOights
could learn a lesson from the perfect
