BALTIMORE, March 6.-The rear
wall of the large malt-housc Of Weir.
Hobelman& Gottleib. on Hanover street,
fell this evening, crushing an adjoining
house, and instantly killing John Sauer,
an employee. who was shoyelling grain
on the third floor. His body was found
in the next building under five feet of
barley. The house adjoining was
occupied by Conrad Zeul, whose
wife was lying i'll in the second story,
attended by her daughter. All means
of egress were blocked by the barley,
and they were rescued after several
hours work. The building was sub
stantial structure, and was not heavily
loaded. The fall is attributed to frost
in the mortar, which had thawed and
weakened the wall. The loss is cst-
mated at several thousand dollars.

New York Tribune.l
"A Tribune reporter went TO No. 23i
east Sevcnty-scventh street yesterday
10 make some inquiries OF Mrs. Gum
prechs, the hciress, who lives on the
third-iloor front. Other callers were
there some just going away, some still
making themselves agreeable 10 the
smiling anticipatory possessor Of mil
lion and half.
Mrs. Gumprecht. I see that It is
true" said the reporter.
Whatg-
The good news"
Mrs. Gumprecht laughed hysterically
and sat down by the little cannon-stoye.
A cheap clock licked a pleasant accom-
paniment ON the mantel. The soup
boiled and dubbed on the cooking
stove in the next room and filled the
apartments, with an appetizing aroma.
" What makes you think it is true?"
she asked.
The visitors
"Oh, all. oh. But they've been COM
ing for four months. about. They all
knew it some time ago."
The little eight-year-old daughter
frisked in and straightway sat down to
dream of dolls and playthings and cara
mels. Her happy emotions could al
most be seen chasing one another across
her face.
She's running me crazy about it,"
said the mother, nodding toward the
child. "My boy is fifteen" She
smiled as she thought of him and his
future. My husband is a travelling
salesman in the leather-goods line
She looked fondly on the stove as she
spoke of him. Money brings people
lots Of friends" She caught sight of
mirage of invitations, and gave her
skirts gentle tuck as she thought of
low neck and short sleeves.
Mrs. Gumprccht said she had been
hearing now and then of the fortune
since she was as old as her little girl.
Her people live in Constance. in the
grand duchy of Baden, Germany, and
are the heirs of Rosalie Levi. Of Lon
don, whose fortune is somewhere be-
sj0,000.000 and s75.000,0 900. Mrs.
Levi died in 1903, and after heirs had
been advertised for extensively. and
none appearing, the English Court of
Chancery took charge of the property.
which then amounted to about $1,000
600. The money was deposited in the
Bank Of England. and has been draw
ing interest ever since. Once every
five years papers were sent to Mrs.
Gumprecht'S unclcs and auntS in Con-
stance regarding the inheritance, but
they never were smart enough to get
the money.
- II it was in America said Mrs.
Gumprecht. they would have had the
money long ago. Over in Germany our
people are slow" She has nine unclcS
and aunts; she doesn't know how many
cousins. and four brothers and sisters.
London lawyers are to collect the money
for commission of per cent. The
German Consul here being approached
on the subject referred it to the Consul
to England
