AN ECCENTRIC MISER.
How Henry County Farmer Secreted His
Wealth-$26,2 200 Found About His House.
Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal
NEW CASTLE, Ind, Sept. 5.-One of the
most remarkable cases of miserly accumu-
lation of money ever known in this part of
the country was discovered near this city
to-day. William Cosand. an aged farmer
living few miles south of New Castle, who
was known to possess considerable wealth.
has been in feeble health for some time, and
recently his mind has been failing.
An effort was made by his
heirs to get the estate settled mp,
and it has been the opinion for some
time that the old gentleman had consider
able money stored away secretly. Z. ;.
Hernly, of this city, was employed as attor-
ana to today he y, wens to Mr. cossnds as
for the purpose of finding out, it possible.

suasion the old gentleman admitted hav-
ing some money stored in his house. He
q package containing $2,000 Be-
lieving there was still more money secreted,
MIR. Hernly and some of Mr.. Cosand' 9
children. who were present, insisted on his
producing all the money in his possession,
that they might deposit it in the bank for
safe keeping. After much insistance they
succeeded In persuading the old gentleman
to produce an accumulation of wealth that
struck them with amazement. From vari-
Gus places in the old farmhouse, up in the
garret and beneath the floor, were revealed
boxes and bundles of money galore;
tin cans and boxes containing
gold and silver coins bundles
of certificates of deposit and currency. The
wealth was brought to this city and de-
posted in the First National Bank, and
when counted it amounted to the sum of
S26. 200.
William Cosand is one of the pioneers of
the county, and is very eccentric char
acter. The discovery of the large sum of
money SO carelessly stored in the old farm
house created quite an excitement, and is
REGARDED as one of the most remarkable
cases on record.

What struck me most forcibly was his
very great apparent age and feebleness.
He fairly looked hundred years old if he
looked a day. His face is almost inhu-
manly white. He looked too old and gone

once. but they are now gone. When 1
knelt at his feet his look was very feeble
and paternal. l noticed the play of his
features as he spoke, for there was not
enough life in that blessed face to dazzle.
The Pope has full, SET of pearly white
teeth, well preserved. His lips are heavy
and very purple, in striking contrast to his
white face. The Holy Father drawls very
heavily when he speaks, but seems able
to conduct conversation without fatigue.
After about a quarter of an hour of a
very one-sided conversation, for the Holy
Father talked almost without ceasing. I
introduced my travelling companion, for
whom / had obtained the honor informing
his Holiness that he was q Protestant, but
very well disposed to the church. He i'm
mediately reached out his hand and bade
him advance He took his hand in his and
placed the other on his head and blessed
him. He turned to me and asked me if he
had any children, evidently intending to
bless them also. When / answered in the
negative he repeated his first benediction
and bade us both depart with his blessing
on us and ours. i left feeling that had
