The reverses which have overtsken
Gen. Grant in New York because of his

Though they were of an Insignificant ma.

FIGHTING FOR $40, 900 900.
| Protracted Obligations Over Rcsl
Estate-What an Old Trunk
Revealed.

A dispatch dated Williamsport, Pa,
December 80, says: Many persons here
and In Washington, d. G., remember
DIR. William Cammack, who for nearly
thirty years before his death was con
testing his right to large property interest
In Philadelphia and other cities in the
state. DR.. Cammack came to this place
In 1867. He died in 1881, leaving a power
of attorney to Mr.. John Bloom, a resident
of this city, requesting that he continue
the fight as long as there was the remot.
est chance of recovering the property.
The story of the claim Is as follows: In
1910 an Euglishman named Thomas
Hill who was the owner of 123
acres of land In West Philadelphia, 377
acres at Middleton, Dauphin county, Pa {,
and $50 acres of valuable bottom land
along the Delaware river, died intestate.
The heirs.at.lsw were then living In En-
gland. In 184l DIR. Cammack visited
England and became acquainted with the
heirs. Not being familiar with this
country, and having no desire to come
here, the heirs made arrangements with
| DIR. Cammsck to settle up the estate,
giving him full power of attorney, and
at the same time legally signing over to
him one.haif interest In the estate
as his share for settling it up. DR.. Cam.
mack Immediately came to Americ
and began operations at once to recover
the property. He employed counsel, and
| after the necessary delay occasioned there
by, and at a time when the property was
almost within his grasp, his llwyee aban-
| lnnoJ tla Tho Il ppp aftaryUnrT
| claimed that his counsel had been bought
off by those having possession of it at thai
time Not in the least daudted, however,
the fight was continued, and al hough {
wealthy man at that time the doctor dice
very poor, having spent his entire fortune
in trying 10 get possession of th'
property. For the past three year
Mr.. John Bloom, who acts with a powe
of attorney for Mrs. Cammsck (the DO,
tors widow, has continued the fight witt
considerable SUCCESS, the only difficult.
being during the past year to obtain tn
deeds of the property. A short time ag'
Mrs. Cammack was looking through tn
contents of an old trunk belonging to tn
doctor when she discovered the deeds
They were Immediately sent to Philadel
phia to her counsel, who wrote her las
week, stating that the property, which i
estimated to be worth SIS .000, 900, coul'
now be discovered without diff Guilty. /
is claimed by Mrs. Cammsck that Judg
Kelley and Judge Peter Of Phi adelphia
have been for years, and are now Twin.
on her property. She also ssys tina
most of the property has been bull
upon, but that all of ths buildings wer
erected on leased grounds, as reishe
Judge Kelley nor Judge Peters can CIV
a title. The case is to be pushed I'm
mediatsly.
DR.. Cammack hal seven children b.
his first wife, four Of whom are now liy
ing In Washington, d. y.
