A WINDFALL.


A cablegram received in New York, last Satur-
day, announces the death of HughM Griffith, of
Hartford Place, London, leaving an estate esti-
mated TO be worth over 100000, and the
message briefly states that there are only eight
lawful heirs, other members of the family
having forfeited their claims by marriage
Careful inqui ries made by a Journal reporter
show that the only surviving heirs to this i'm
mense fortune are the children and graudchil-
dren of the deceased Humphrey Griffith of this
city. Humphrey Griffith was brother to the
millionaire, and came to this country
from England. For long time
he wSS engaged in the jewelry
business in this city and was quite successful
himself, accommodating considerable property.
His home was situated on North Illinois street,
between Market and Ohio streets, where he
lived up to the time of his death, which occurred
nine or ten years ago. He had a family of
five children, viz: John josiah r., Pleasant
H., Anna j. and Mary. OF this number only two
survive, Pleasant and Anna John and Josiah
both died leaving families the former seven chill
dren ana the latter three. Anna j. Grifiith mar.

together at No. 612 North Illinois street About
four years ago Pleasant H., who bears the name
Of Hugh, after mis- uncle, met with reverses in
business, and IN consequence was for time
mentally unsonnd. The appointment of a
guardian became necessary. Jesse Jones
was selected by the court, and has not
yet been discharged. Mr.. Griffith is
IN comfortable circumstances, and since
firing from business has been living quietly
with his widowed sister. There Is no doubt that
the family of Gritiths in this city are the law full
heirs to the fortune of their deceased relative.
No steps have yet been taken for obtaining pos
session of the estate, but there will be at a

brothers, John and Josiah R., are entitled to a
cDe-fourth share of the estate.

GRAND opERA-HousE-"EsMERALDA."

GRAND MISUNDERSTANDING
beautiful play, admirably acted was the
verdict of those who witnessed "Esmeralda"
at the Grand last night. The audience was large
and discriminating, and the deep interest mani
tested in every scene of the play was sufficient
indication both of its excellence as a dramatic
composition and the artistic manner in which
it was presented. The chief characteristic of
"Esmeralda" as play is its extreme simplicity
It Is q story Of true ami honest love, with it's
legitimate reward, after months of suffering and
sorrow. There is no vilainyi there is no TRACE
dy-only in suggestion. IThis narrative has that
natural pathos that is less unusual in real life
than on the stage, and which is readily recog-
nized and appreciated by those who have them
selves suffered The play is in many respects
like "Hazel Kirke,' but it has an artistic finish
that the latter cannot approach 1t is singu-
larry uneventtul play, and III the hands OF a
poor company would be almost tiresome, but as
presented by the present organization the per-
formance is fun of strong human interest No
better company, taken as entirety, has ever
been seen here. Every one in the cast seems to
have been especially selected for the part as
sumed, and distinctive mention would necessa-
rlly be but % repetition of complimentary ex-
pressions. Mr. John L. Owens, Us Ebert Rog-

Last evening the well-known comedian, Mr..
Neil Burgess, appeared before large audience
at English's Opera-house as Josiah Aliens
Wife," in his new comedy, "My Opinions" and
the play was received with much laughter. Mr.,
Burgess made quite reputation through the
country as widow Bedott," and in his new play
he has better opportunity for dis
playing his comic powers, and the re.
suit Is an exceedingly funny performance.
A novelty Of the entertainment is the introduce
ton OF a revolving stage, invented by Mr.. Bur-
CESS, which, however, did not work well last
night on account of an accident to the mechan-
1cal appliances. Tonight. however, it is prom
lsed that everything will be in good running

The City Hall schemers.

1t is reported on good authority that the City
Hall schemers have abandoned the idea of build
ing a combined hall and market house, and have
decided to build only the hail. When bids were
received for the combined building, the lowest
was $4,000, and when the new scheme was
proposed the various contractors were invited
to prorate their bids in accordance with its pro-
visions. This was done and the lowest bid then
was $4,000, which is not a very remarkable
decrease, tnasmuch as it was estimated that the
market part OF the building would cost at least
$4,000; $4,000 was comparatively reason,
able price for a combined market house and
city hail, but $135, 900 is altogether an unrea-
sonable price for city hall alone, such as is
proposed to be buit.

Malad, Idaho.

The following notes are culled
from a recent number of the Salt
Lake Tribune: It seems odd to be
away from telegraphs, railroads and
the hustle Of city life, as one is when
visiting this place. Malad has a pop
ulation Of 1900, while in the valley
there are about 1000 people. We
mean the valley Of Malad, in Idaho,
averaging ten miles wide, and twenty.
three miles long. Malatl lies on the
east side of the valley, while opposite,
seven miles distant IS Samaria, with
its 400 people. Farming, freighting
and selling Of merchandise form the
principal pursuits. One part of Malad
is all Mormon, with its church and
school honse, while the other part is
composed of Gentiles and Josephites.
The latter patronize school under
the auspices Of the Presbyterian Mis-
sion, where three teachers are en-
ployed. Rev. 6. NJ. Knox is pastor
and superintendent of the school, and
part Of the public money for school
purposes goes to the school, which
has over 100 pupils enrolled. A new
brick chapel 28x46 is nearing compile
ton, and will be used for both school
and church purposes. Besides this
school only one teacher, Mormon, is
employed in the other district Of the
town.
w. B. Thomas has splendid mill
operated by water power, which re-
duces 900 bushels Of wheat per day
under the new process, i. e. two burrs
busting machines, rollers, etc. His
stock Of rcd and black berkshires and
poland.china hogs are very fine spcci-
mems, thirty out Of '25 hogs weigh
over 600 pounds each.
Sheep are to be seen in many pla-
ces in the valley, and these animals
have become very popular among
stock men. Cattle men tell Of cattle
being bought in Western Idaho at
about $40 per head and sent to the
San Francisco market, while others
speak ofthe county being overstockeel
with horses, thousands having been
driven from Oregon and Washington
Territory into Idaho and Mont".a.
The court house is fine wooden

and was lately completed.
