AN IMMENSE ESTATE
Awaiting Distribution Among the Heirs of
Philadelphia Merchant.

Awaiting Distribution Among the Heirs OF
Philadelphia Merchant
P1TTsBURa, Pa, February 27.-Ap.
plication has been made to Max Scham-
berg, the Austrian consul in this city,
to secure the distribution of an immense
estate left by John Nicholas Emerich,
who died in Philadelphia in the last
quarter of the last century. One of the
heirs is Mrs. John BOSE, who is "a years
of age, and who lives in this city. Many
years ago her family expected a legacy
from the estate of Emerich, who was
q maternal grand-uncle. It did
not come, however, and Mrs.
Boss had almost forgotten her hopes,
when recently she received a German
paper which gave brief account of the
finding of q will in an old book in st..
Katrina's Church, Philade]phia. The
matter was mentioned because the uame
of the maker of the will-John Nicholas
Emerich-was not remembered by even
the oldest members of the church, and
because it was evident the paper had
never been admitted to probate. Mrs.
Boss Immediately recognized the
name, and reported her discov
cry to son.in.law, John Kes.
sler. About the same time let.
ters were received from relatives in
Germany, and the matter was placed in
Consul Schambere's hands. He says the
value of the estate is $2O, 900, 900, and
that it consists of valuable property in
Philadelphia, New York. and Germany,
and large sums of money deposited 10
various places. Emerich was engaged
in the ocean trade between Europe, Aus.
tralia and America. His partner in this
business at one time was John Jacob
Astor. Emerich owned q great many
ships, and traded extensively with all
civilized nations.

An Apology.

George the Third was popular with
the English people. They respected him
for the purity of his domestic life, and
called bim "Farmer George" on account
of bis plebeian ways and his good nature.
The king loved to mingle familiary with
his subjects, and cared little for the
court etiquette which made hedge
about him. One day, while returning
from hunting, the king entered into con-
versation with wine-merchant, Mr..
Cabornel. The two rode side by side q
long way, much to the distress of Lord
Walsipgam, the gentleman-in-waiting.
Watching his opportunity, his lord
ship took the merchant aside and whis-
pered something in his ear. ''What's
that? What's that Walsipgham has
been saying to you?" asked the good
humored king, seeing the merchant ap-
peared annoyed.
81 find, SIR" said the merchant,
that have been uninteptionally guilty
of dierespect to your Majesty. My lord
informs me that ought to take off my
hat whenever I address your majesty.
But your majesty will please to notice
that my hat is fastened to my wig, and
my wig is fastened to my head, and l
am on the back of spirited horse. So
that if anything goes off We must all go
off together"
The king laughed at the apology, and
bade the merchant keep on his hat.

terdsy. The trouble grew out of lands
ceded to the I,eavenworth, Lawrerce
and Galveston Railroad Company and
claimed by settlers on pre- e-emption and
others on deeds from the railroads. A
society of settlers called Land Leaguers
was organized several years ago.
This trouble arose between Land Leag-
uers. Two men named Harclerode and
Mcfarland were building house for o
widow on claim for which title was in
dispute, when they were stopped by four
armed men-Rugh Guillard aud his
three sons, Joseph, Ike, and Andrew
who ordered them to desist from work
and leave the premises. They refused,
and vollev was fred by Guilland and
sops, resulting in the instant death of
both men. The murderers fled and were
closely pursued by the settlers. They
surrendered to the officers at Humboldt.
Hundreds of indignant people gathered
from all directions, aud there is intense
excitement through the country. There
IS strong talk OF taking the prisoners
ut and trying them in Judge Lynch's
court.

THE INDIAN UPRISING.

Yellow Calf and His Warriors Capture
Supply Depot at Long Lake.
WINNIPEG. Man., February 23.-A
special from Broadview Station, $50
miles west of here, says that Tuesday
last band of Cree 1ndiaEs overpowered
the government agent on the Crooked
Lakes reservation, broke into the store
house, and stole many sacks of -four
and quantity of bacon. Twelve
mounted policemen arrived from Regina
yesterday en- route to the reserve to
arrest the offenders, Fears are en-
tertained that the Indians will show
fight. Another dispatch has just been
received from Indian Head, which says:
The Indians of the File Hill, and Long
Like reservations have taken possession
of the government buildings and stores
and hold the government employees pris-
oners. Detachmen,s of mounted
police have been ordered from
Fort du 'Appelle to both re-
serves. The troubles seem to be owing
to short rations. 1t looks as if there
were some understanding between the
various Indians of the territories. and
that the outbreak is the result of pre-
concerted plans aud will become general.
The Crooked Lakes reserve Indians are
composed of four bands of the Salteaux
tribe, and number abont 900. They
went on their re serve in 1880, but have
made slow advancement in the way OF
civilization. They are good hunters, and
conse equently brave and warllke. They
have always refused to accept cattle and
agricultural implements from the gov
>&o~
and there is no doubt that they were
driven to attack the government stores
by starvation. On the File Hills and
Long Lake reserves there are about
1000 Crees. They have been unsettled
and bave always given the instructors
great deal of trouble.
WINNIPEG, Man, February 25.-Ad-
vices from the scenes of the Indian up
rising are very meagre, and it Isl diff
cult to learn the true condition OF affairs,
but enough has been recs wed here to in
dicate that the outbreak is most eeri-
ous one, and that it will not be quelled
without bloodshed. The mounted po-
lice command secresy regarding their
movements, and the telegraph operators
have been warned against transmitting
IcpOIbo VI GAo1 aCtAOAss n SOAuuAlCd-
tioD from In6ian Head says that the IN
dians under Yellow Calf held possession
Of the government stores at Long Lake
Reserve at o'clock Saturday night;
that detachment of police had
arrived in the vicinity, but was
not strong enough to make any ar
rests. The midland are we'll armed and
defiant. Having control Of the build
ings and plenty of provisions, they will
be ab-- (. defend themselves against 81
large force of police, who on the level
prairies will have no protection from
the bullets of the redskins. The whites
in the vicinity and along the railway are
greatly excited. If the Indians main
tain their present defiant attitude the
handful of police will be powerless to
cope with them, and the settlers be
placed at the mercy of the savages.
Col. Her 1chmer has sent to Regina for
more men, and on their arrival will at
tack Yellow Calls band and assert his
supremacy. The delay has made the
Indians more defiant, and they consider
themselves masters of the situation.

Figaro. For long time he was the
editor: in. chief, head reporter and bust

died this work was parce]ed out among
three men, Maynard, Perivier and
Rodaye. To these three men De
VilIemessant said on his dying bed:
'Always make up the paper as though
