TWENTY YEARS A SECRET.
Two Children See Their Father at Last
They Bring Their Welcome in the
Shape of eavy Legacy,

Two Children See Their Father at Last
They Bring Their Welcome In the
Shape of a Heavy Legacy,
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Oct. 8.-Joseph
H. Emmons, welI-known citizen of this
story. About twenty years ago, when a
young man, Mr.. Emmons settled in a
country village near Hampton Roads,
Va, where he met and married the
daughter OF a wealthy and influential
farmer of that section. The young couple
loved each other very dearly, and would
no doubt have lived happily but for the
old gentleman's continued opposition
to their union, which dated from the
time when young Joe began his at
tentions to the Virginia lassie.
One day the old gentleman spoke very
harshly to his sOn-in-law, and young Joe
felt forced to leave his home, never to
look upon the face of his loved one again.
He came to New Jersey and located at
Long Branch, where his brother was en-
gagged in the hotel business. He has since
been following various occupations. He
ran the New York Hotel for a year, has
been to sea once or twice, and during the
past summer was member of the Long
Branch police force. A few years ago he
married Miss Reddy, of this place, to
whom he has always been greatly at
tached.
Having heard nothing from his old
Southern home during the intervening
years, Mr.. Emmons concluded that his
former wife must have died. Shortly af-
ter his departure from Virginia his wife
gave birth to twin babies, a girl and
boy. When these were scarcely years
old, the mother, who mOurned greatly the
loss of her husband, went out one dark
night and threw herself into the sea. Her
body was found the next day by her faith
er, but no tidings of the dreadful affair
was sent to the far-off husband. The old
gentleman took the children to his own
home and brought them up as his Off
spring.
Three weeks ago the father, who had so
cruelty separated two loving hearts, was
stricken with fatal illness. Calling the
two children to his bedside, he told them
the story of their father and Of their
mothers sad death. After the old mans
body had been buried the two children
/ started in search Of their long lost father.
They arrived at Long Branch on monday
/ last.
Mr.. Emmons' surprise was truly great
when he was visited by his children, who
were full grown and handsomely dressed.
| His surprise was even greater than
1 when his son informed him that his
| father-in-law had bequeathed to him a
J large estate in Virginia, and over $4,000
III money.
On the following day Mr.. Emmons and
his two children started for Virginia to-
gether. AS soon as arrangements can be
made Mrs. Emmons will go and join her
husband in his new home in the sunny
South. The whole affair has created big
sensation here, and Mr.. Emmons and his
children were besieged with congratu-
latious all day Tuesday.

BOOK NOTICES.


AN APPEAL TO CESAR. By the author of
ga FOOLS Errand." FOrds, Howard Il Hull
bert New York, publishers; 422 pages;
bound in cloth, price 81.
This book is worth reading for the facts
it contains. 1t is full Of facts. All read
ers may not agree with the authors con-
illusions. The aim of the author is TO
show that the black race is moving with
swift strides to numerical prepOnderance
in the south. To prove this he makes
numerous and elaborate comparisons of
facts which the census reports of 1870 and
1880 show. The author undertakes to
point out the evils which will flow from
the supremacy of the black race and how
these evils may be avoided. The volume
is worth reading.
The pocket edition of the Baltimore and
Ohio Red Book, for the current year, is
undoubtedly one of the handiest and most
complete little text books of all the pOl1ti-
cal publications of the present campaign.

Good Work.

At the headquarters OF the Independent
Republicans in New York city it is esti-
mated that at least 100000 Republicans in
New York State will not vote for Blaine.
1t is not expected that all of them will
vote for Cleveland. 1t is known, however,
that a very large per cent. of them will. A
great many will vote for st. John and
thousands will not vote at all. This re-
port about the disaffection among the Re-
publicans in the State of New York is not
guess work. It is based on reliable in
formation, gathered from Republicans in
every county. The Independent Republic
cans have been doing excellent work.
They have distributed over 100000
copies Of the Mulligan letters, and they
have made clear to thousands of people
Blaine's prevarications in the Hooking
Valley matter.

The Irish Americans, of Bristol, Pa,
performed weird rite Thursday night.
A large number of copies of Patrick
Ford's Irish World had been distributed
gratuitously among them. A large bon
fire was built and one after another the
Irishmen marched by and deposited cop
les of the paper on the blazing heap, and
as each one made his Offering to honor
and Democracy he used in mockery the
words of j. G. B., "Burn this" The
ceremony was concluded with grOans for
Patrick Ford and three cheers for Cleve-
land and Hendricks.

The New York elevated railroads have
ceiUced the fares on Sundays to cents.
TEis action has almost created panic
among the surface roads in that city,
which, it is thought, will now have to
bRuI passengers on Sunday for cents.
Il is considered pretty certain that this
seduction will cause a large increase in
the business Of the roads, and no doubt
tie time is not very tar distant when 8
cents will be the regular fare at all hours

Signs of Life.

There is still life in the hotel project. 1t
only needed a little stirring up to make it
show signs of vitality. The trustees of
the barracks property held a meeting yes
teIday to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of call
ing the shareholders together to hear a
proposition which, it is understood, a
New York man is prepared to make
them. 1t was determined that it would
be the better plan for the trustees to hear
the proposition before submitting it to the
shareholders, and that if it met their appro-
val 1t would be time enough then to sub
NIT it to the stockholders. The New York
man is expected here on Tuesday next.
The proposition is understood to be the
one that was suggested some months since
by gentleman who has been largely in
terested in the construction Of public edi-
fees in the North as well as in the South.
1t is to lease the ground to certain capt.
talists for nominal sum, an amount suf-
ticent to pay a small interest on the pur-
chase money, the lessees guaranteeing
TO erect within certain time a hand
some building upon the property.
1t is to be hoped that something will
come out of the proposed scheme, and
that grand hotel is thing of the near
future.
