BARKER'S MILLIONS.
A Newburyport Auctioneer Falls Heir to an
Enormous Fortune.

NEwBURYPoRT, Mass, Nov. 13.-Charles n
Barker, of this city, has been doing modest
little business auctioneer and appraiser. in
addition to repairing chairs and furniture On
Monday he received notification from Boston
lawyer to the effect that he had fallen heir to
immense fortune in England, and certain papers
were forwarded for his signature. Consulting a
lawyer in this city, he was informed that every
thing seemed all right, and the Boston lawyer
was instructed to look after his claims.
Mr.. Barker said tonight that the announce
ment total surprise to him, yet he remem-
bered that a few months since there died at
London, England, one Mrs. Mary Ann Thorburn
leaving property estimated at millions. This
property, 1T seems, was left to her brother
Charles H. Barker, or his heirs. Charles H.
Barker was the father of the young man now
interested, and was at one time an instructor in
modern languages at Harvard College, and died
two of whom reside in Boston, two in Cambridge
one in Paris. and Charles H. the eldest, about
twenty eight years of age, in this city
i am surprised that the amount of the fortune
left by Mary Ann Thorburn was stated so low as
ST, 5000, OO0," said Charles H. Barker. st has
been estimated at $780, 100000. or more Mary
Ann Thorburn, of London, was the wife of a
baronet, rich banker, who was the London
agent of the Shah of Persia, connection which
very naturally aided in amassing the millions
Her brother, Charles H., my father, was for
many years. British consul at Messina Emigrat
ing to this country in l849, he was for some years
| an instructor in languages at Harvard. By
series of misfortunes he had lost quite fort
une. While there, he prospered, and was fit
ted for Harvard, and was about to enter, when
lingering sickness attacked both father and
mother, during which we were reduced to power
ty. Several times father applied to his rich sis
ter for aid, and various sums were forwarded
from time to time. Upon the death of our pa
rents, the children were left to shift for them
salves and have since led a varied life"
MIR. Barker, who is an honest-appearing young
man, and tells straightforward story. says they
had always had great expectations from the rich
aunt, knowing that they were the next of kin
and the only immediate connections, but the ex-
pectations were vague-a mere hope that some
day fortune would smile upon Them and Mr.
Barker's friends have. blossomed out in great
numbers since yesterday
