THE ROMANCE OF A FORTUNE.
The Wife of Bank Robber Claimant
for Huge Property.

NEW YORK, Nov 17.-Mrs. Kate l.. Terry.
who has come into a fortune Of $4,000, 900 by
the death of her husband, Don Juan PetrO
Terry, Cuban, who died in Paris recently,
has noted career. 1t appears that four
tfths of the estate was bequeathed to an un-
born child. Miss Terry was 12 years ago a
barmaid in Liverpool, and married Charles
Bullard, alias Charles Wells, the noted bank
robber. They went to Paris and kept an
American bar there. Subsequently Bullard
and William Rennessy Cook came to the
United States and becamelimplicated in the
Boylston Bank robbery in Boston. For this
bothiwent up for seven years.
Mrs. Bullard came to New York and soon
afterwards Bullard and Cook escaped from
prison and were implicated in the great
Manhattan Bank robbery here. Bullard
ned 10 Canada, and wrote to his wife to get
square with his detective accomplice here
who had failed to keep his agreement. The
letter was intercepted, and the police here
learned of his whereabouts. In 1881 Mrs.
Billiard met Mr.. Terry and, having learned
that Billiard had another wife and several
children before he met her, she married Mr.
Terry, deeming her marriage to Bullard lille
gal.
1t is likely that Mrs. Terry's claim to the
rich Cuban's estates will be contested by his
relatives on the ground that she was proper
ly married to Billiard and that no decree Of
divorce was granted before her marriage to
Mr.. Terry. The case promises to become
celebrated Mr.. Terry Is the,one with whom
the actress Sadie Martinot left this country
some time ago, and who was with him at the
time Of his death.

The National League MeetIng.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE directors of the
National League Base Ball Association held
their annual meeting today, and awarded
the championship of 1886 to the Chicago
club. N. Il. Young was reelected secretary
for 1887. Dascher, expelled by the Detroit
club in 1882 for financial Irregularities, was
reinstated upon the unanimous request Of
the directors. Charges made by the Chi
cago club against Capt. A. A. Irwin Of the
Phiadelphias were withdrawn on condition
that rules to prevent the recurrence Of the
trouble be adopted. The Pittsburg Base
Ball Club was admitted to the League with
w. A. Mlmeck and A. X. Zanbrett as its
representatives. The playing rules sug-
gested by tie joint committee were accepted
by the League. 1t is rumored that the st.
Louis club rendered its resignation as
member OF the League, and that the resigna-
tion was accepted. The disposition of play
ers, it is said, has been left to a committee,
Messrs. Spalding, Soden and Stearns, and
they have decided that the players shall be
divided between the Kansas Citys and the
Washingtons. The report that st. Louis has
resigned is denied by the League officers,
who also discountenanced the gossip con-
cerning the Kansas Citys being denied ad-
mission. The denials in both cases were,
however, anything but emphatic.

The HappIest Town in Maine.
Bangor Commercial

In the town of Bradford, with a popula-
tion of 400, there are over 800 scholars.
This is a state of things which has but few
parallels, if indeed, there is anything like it
In the State An agent for a school book
publishing house recently introduced some
of their books there, and sent in his order
for 500 readers of different grades, and they
sent only $50, explaining that there must be
some mistake, as the population Of the town
was sonly 400. Ii proved that there was a
mistake however, for after receiving the
balance of 15O, the supervisor or committee
had TO order so more. Evidently Bradford Is
inhabited by people who obey the Divine In
junction to multiply and replenish the earth.
