peared from the old vslumes. Mr.
Springes rather broadly intimated that
the Wilmington heirs had torn out the
leaves, and had them in their posses-
sion from questionable motives.
This brought all the Wilmington
members to there feet at oBoe. The
charge was too broad and serious, and
with one accord they pitched Into the
Providence man with great energy.
The Springer blood was up, and ener-
|getic Springer fists sawed the air in in
dignant gest;culation. DR.. Springer re-
buked the gentleman with contempt,
and Mr.. McCinry offered to give him q
hundred dollars cash If he would make
good his charge. DR.. Springer also
took occasion TO declare that he shought
the claim on Wilmington foogish and
unfounded ons.
Finally the storm was quellsd aud
the consideration of the case wss again
resumed in calmness. One gentleman
informed the meeting that thres leasss
which would greatly aid the heirs in
establishing their claim to Wilmington,
were held by Mrs. Springer of St.Louis.
The lady is the widow of the late Rev,
J. N. W. Springer, a Msthodiss minis
ter, familiar to Wilmington people. He
has often visited Wilmington, with q
view to examining the Springer claim.
When this gentleman died he strictly
told his wife to allow the leases to 20 to
no one but Moses Springer o8 Kansas.
1t was finally decided to send COM
mittee of two I'd st. Louis and Kansas to
see the widow Springer and Moses
Springer about the leases, and consult
with the organization of Springers in
Missouri. Messrs. E. p. Springer Of
Providence and James p. Butler were
appointed the committee and a collee.
ton was taken up to pay their expsn-
ses.
An amusing feature of the meeting
was the efforts of very fat and aged
lady, who wore spectacles and a woolen
shawl, to show that she was a bona
fde heir. She followed the line Of her
fOrefatherS back for centuries, and
amid great laughter proved beyond
doubt that old Charles Christopher
Springer was her great-great-great
grandfather.
The meeting adjourned about
O'Clock, subject to the chailman's call.

AFruitleAs Find.

The clever robbery Of Mr.. A. S. Jones
shoe finder on the N, W. cor. Of Second
and Orange streets, whereby, not long
ago he lost 500, will bs remembered
The pocket book, which contained the
money was found day or two ago by
Atwood Doggsrt, col,, in the lumber
yard of II. L. Tatnall & Co., under some
boards. The book contained check
for "a rs on the Bank Of Smyrna, posi-
Office order from Milford for $l7.5, and
q $3.50 gold piece. The rest of the
money was gone. The check and P. O..
order bore Mr.. Jones name. Mr.. Jones
being notified called upon Mr.. Tatnall
and recognized the pocket book. As
"slim Jim" called upon Mr.. Jones on
the day OF the robbery, he is firmly i'm
pressed with the belief that it was he
u ho committed the robbery.

with regard to the matter, but nothing

Nearly every one appeared to realize
the difficulties to be encountered in
pressing the claim. The loss of the

be gained, was spoken Of. Mf. Z. P.

to the fact that there ore two aSpirants
