teen, Finally Restored to Her
| Parents.
New York Times
At Westville, in the Township of
Hampstead, live venerable and worthy
couple named Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mott.
T early history of the wife is particu-
| larly romantic and interesting. In 1907,
when she was three years old, she was
found on the marsh at Barren Island,
with piece of fat pork in one hand and
sea-biscuit in the other, by an old gen.
tleman who happened to be fishing there.
She was taken to the house of Nicholas
Dooley-the only one on the island at
that time-and Mrs. Dooley decided to
adopt her and bring her up. She was
named Julia Ann. She remembers when
| Gibbs, the pirate, was on Barren Island,
and was supposed to have buried his ill
gotten gains. there. He stopped at Mr..
Dooley's house the night before he and
Wansley were captured on Plum Point.
| Gibbs afterward confesseo that it was his
intention to murder the family, had not
Mr.. Dooley remained awake all night,
with loaded gun within reach.
In 1919, when she was only fifteen
years old, Mrs. Dooley's adopted daugh-
ter married Henry Mott, of Rockaway.
Shortly after the marriage, a Mrs. Ra-
chael Coles called at the house, and, on
seeing Mrs. Mott, at once exclaimed that
she knew a woman who must be her
mother, the resemblance was SO strong.
Mrs. Coles informed her friend that she
believed she had seen her long lost
daughter. The mother hastened to
Westville, where the couple then resided,
and Immediately recognized her daugh-
ter-the identity being established by a
mark resembling a half-moon on one
knee, and hole in one ear. The meet
ing was avery affectionate one, and there
was quite a sensation in Westville (then
called Northwest Point) for a few days.
Mrs. Mott found that she was the
daughter of John and Henrietta Har-
ney, of New York City, well known
family, the Boston banker, Peter Har-
ney, being her uncle. Her name was
Henrietta, after her mother, but she has
father lived in Cortlandt street, which
that Swedish sailor, who boarded near
by, had a difficulty with Mrs. Harvey,
and swore to have revenge. He stole
the child while, the mother was
at church, and was never seen again in
the neighborhood. Search was made in
every direction, but without success.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dooley died some years
ago, but their old house still stands on
Barren Island. Mr.. and Mrs. Mott have
had thirteen children, all daughters, and
all, like their mother, of progressing
personal appearance. The old couple
have also a great many grandchildren
and dgreat-grandohildren living.

Court of Exchequer and Court of
Chancery in order to recover from those
already in possession, but have failed in
both courts. This within the past two
wears, and in one case the judge said
that as the parties had been in posses
sion over seventy years it was absurd
and vexatious that such proceedings
were taken, and if entertained would
disturb half the property in the country;
in fact. the statute of limitation had
barred the claimants long ago, and found
for the defendants. The question of
pedigree or proof of title was not gone
into.
Thus ended the so-called "Great Jell-
nings Case" Therefore claimants IN
America and subscribers to different as
sociations out there had better keep their
dollars in their pockets, as they are
being simply swindled out of them.

Cincinnati Beer for the South.

Mr.. John Kaufman, the brewer of the
celebrated tecr which bears his name, has
so perfected his shipping arrangements as
to be able to deliver his beer at any point
in the South or Southwest, possessed OF the
same fine qualities that have made it so
great fayorite here. The great diff
Guilty in the past has been at keeping
the beer at the right Temperature
while in transportation. Mr.. Kaufman
remedies this by sending the article in
refrigerator cars from which it is
taken and put directly into the ice houses
of tha aiiailts established in all the principal
cities. BY this means 1t reaches the con-
| sumner unchanged from what it was when
leaving the brewery. In Chattanooga this
is the only beer sold. and it is fast taking
the place of whisky as a tonic or stimulant.
This is certainly good move: Mr.. Kauff-
man reports business better than ever this
season.

THE JENNING Gs ESTATE.

Evidence that the Story II a fraud.
Philadelphia Tines.l
The Jennens or Jennings estate, of
countless thousands, alleged to be in the
Bank of England, has been prominently
before the American public for years,
and more especially in this State and
New Jersey since 1877, when the matter
was revived and has been agitated con-
tinuously ever since. At that time
Samuel Cook, of Camden, took hold of
the matter on his own account.
and organized an association of
the alleged heirs. This was in
cerporated and the officers apportioned
among the different family branches, all
of whom were mulcted $40 each to pay
his passage to England on tour of in
vestigation, in addition to various
amounts assessed to meet his expenses
in securing necessary proofs here. About
Christmas, 1879, Mr.. Cook went to Eng
! land, but he came back very unexpect-
edly about month ago, and, according
| to his statement, is about to return with
out informing the heirs Of the result of
his trip. Since his return, however, the
| affair has, without his knowledge, as
| by Richardson & Co., claim agents, No.

clients. The letter, which is from the
correspondent of the firm in London, is
| as follows:
The paragraphs which have appeared
and are still appearing in the American
press in regard to this case have not a
particle of truth in them. I have seen
| several of them wherein it was stated
! that hundreds Of millions were lying un-
claimed in chancery or the Bank of En-
gland, and said paragraphs have actually
named the persons entitled and stated
the amount of their respective shares.
Now, these statements were Only created
in the imagination of the writer; and ]
can assure you as a positive fact that the
property and money Left by William
Jennens, who died in 1898, was meyer in
chancery and the whole of the money
held by the Bank of England was paid
lover to the legal personal representatives
nearly or quite seventy years ago. In
short, there never has been an unclaimed
Jennens or Jennings estate, as repre-
sented, for the last thirty years. The
agitation has been kept going by certain
persons simply to put moneyin their OWL
pockets, and thousands of pounds have
been collected in this way both here
and in America. These parties knew
full we'll that there did not exist any
unclaimed estate, but their argument
was that the persons in possession hae
no legal title to such, and had obtained
the said property by fraud (this is th'
hitch), and upon these grounds alon'
have claimants taken proceedings in tn

A gentleman recently arrived from
California, where he has been looking
about among the mining towns, speaks of
several places where the snow lies to a
depth of over one hundred feet. These
places are generally at the heads of large
canons. At the head of Fall Creek, Ne
vada County, pines and frs over one
hundred feet in height are SO buried in
snow that only few feet of their tops
are to be seen. Where dark forest lies
in summer there is now only to be seen a
white expanse of snow, with here and
there what appear to be ciumps of
bushes, but which are really the tops Of
the tallest pines.

Saved by a Life FreServer.
New York ma nnr

The steamship Topaze, which arrived
here from Barrow on last Saturday even
ing, was caught in a hurricane ON the
9th inst. Tremendous waves swept over
the decks, fore and aft, washing every
thing movable overheard. Two of the
seamen were hurrying along the forward
deck, near the port rail, when that part
of the vessel was suddenly buried by q
huge wave.
A moment afterward the two men
were seen struggling in the sea. One of
of them caught hold of a ife-buoy which
had been thrown him by yI a Ishipmate,
sank out of sight, and was lost. Consid-
cradle damage was done along the YES
sells decks before the storm su bsided.

An exodus to the United States Is go
ing on from all the provinces. AS many
as 800 persons went from ST. John in one
week, and 400 from Montreal. An in
quiry made by the London Advertiser
shows that numbers are leaving Ontario,
and most of them for the States. From
Quebec we hear that merchants still
complain of the lack of business; that
masses of money are lying idle in the
banks for want of Investments; that the
poorer classes are ON the verge of destitu.
ton: that families have subsisted through
the winter on potatoes; that 5000 French
Canadians have been in the receipt OF
organized relief; that every one seems
compelled to retrench; that the value OF
real property has frightfully shrunk
and that the number of houses and stores
to let is alarming.
