THE SHERIDAN CLAIM

To the Two Million Dollars, In England,
Awaiting Heirs.
Some days ago the REGISTER printed an
account of the expectation Of the Sheridans,
of this city, to inherit a fortune of 81, 000,-
900 from their aunt, Mrs. Blake, of Eng
land. 1t has since transpired that Mrs.
Helen Blake died in London in 1876 She
was the widow Of the General Robert Blake,
the last hneal descendant of Lord Admiral
Blake, the compatriot of Cromwell Mrs.
Blake willed her entire wealth to charita-
bic institutions, but the will was contested
and the courts decided that the fortune
should go to the members of that branch of
he Blake family which came to America.
In October, 1879, John A Blake
a Philadelphia commission merchant, saw
an advertisement asking information about
the American Blakes, and together with
Robert Blake, of Chietenham township
Montgomery county, he entered his claim.
The affair was published in Eastern papers
at the time, and numerous other Blakes
we're heard from, the result being meeting
of II claimants at the residence of Robert
Blake, at Ogontz, in 1880. All contributed
money for expenses, and John A. Blake
went to England to consult with Robert
Gum, ESQ.,, who is the lawyer in charge
Captain Thomas J. Blake, Of the Seven
teehth ward station, at Pittsburg, who is
one of the claimants, has taken great inter
est in the matter and has attended a num-
Der of meetings since the time stated, but
does not expect to realize anything.
1t appears that there is a missing link in
the chain of evi dnce necessary TO establish
the descendancy of the American Blakes,
which has proved an insurmountable obsta-
Gle.
In the meantime, the Sheridans, James,
of SIS Seventeenth street. in this city, and
his brother, John B., of Pittsburg, appeared
with their claim, which is that Mrs. Blake
was the sister of their father Their claim
seems to 60 ahead of the Blakes and is
progressing smoothly along. 1t is hoped,
here, they may be all right and will get the

Alleged Brutal Treatment

A Wheeling gentleman complained to a
REGISTER reporter last night of the ungen-
tlemanly manner in which he was treated
by the Postmaster at Bridgeport. There
we're several letters in the Office directed to
him, and as it wanted quarter to seven
o'clock, the hour for closing the Office, he
thought he would have no trouble to pro-
cure the desired letters. He waited at the
window for some time and then spoke to
the postmaster, who asked why he did not
come in day time, in an exceedingly abus.
i've manner, and then slammed the door OF
the window in his face. The gentleman
oxIostulated with him and told him that
the hour appointed by law for shutting the
oil ce had cot arrived, when he WAS sum
marily dismissed with the remark that he
was the law. The gentleman also stated
that during the breeze little girl came in
and asked the postmaster who is also a
doctor TO come to her home as her father
had broken his arm, and was so abused she
went home crying.
