pear Highly Improbable,
NV YoRK, April 2l.-A Mrs, Sophia
Adelaide Kent, who Is in New York
claiming to be the legitimate daughter
Of Queen Victoria, looks SO much like
EngIand's female ruler that not few
people have espoused her.cause, Her
claim is that strong-minded foster
mother changed her for foster sister In
babyhood, and that her foster sister be-
came the acknowledged scion OF royalty,
Some doubt has been thrown on her as
sertions by the fact that George Francis
Train has taken her up,
Another more serious dRmper is
found In the statement made to-day by
an eminent literary woman, who resid,
ed for a number Of years abroad, and
whose mind was directed some years
ago in England 10 the operations OF a
family named Kent, Giving Ia South
ampton. The father had two daughters
by his first wife, who developed much
eccentricty. When they were II and Is
years Of age respectively, they ran away
from home and sought engagement in
boys clothing as cabin boys at Liver
pool. This was thirty years ago, In
1891 an infant child oktheir father by
his second wife was found murdered in
its cradle, 1t was impossible to locate
the crime, although a nurse maid was
arrested charged with 1t. Sometime la
ter one OF the sisters waned in health
and went into q convent, where she con-
fessed she was the murderess, She had
committed the crime to spite her step
mother The Mother Superior reported
her TO the authorities, aud she was tried
for the crime and sent to Millbank
prison,
The father, Mr., Kent, was the son,
and these girls were the grandchildren
OF Edward, Duke Of Kent, The daugh.
ters were, therefore, nieCes Of Queen
Victoria, and II the Mrs. Kent now in
New York should be the surviving
daughter her striking resemblance to
the Queen and her possession of all the
Guelph characteristics would be readily
1t could also be understood
that she might be just the kind OF per-
son 10 come over to America aud make
the claim now put forward by Mrs, So.

A Hunters Death.

Harry Niedham, well known
young man of Metal township, a re
mote part of Franklin county, met
with fatal hunting accident on
Thursday last. Niedham started
out alone and when he did not re
turn, search party was sent out for
him. He was found ON Saturday
morning lying dead on the noun
tain at the foot of very high tree.
His skull was crushed in, and from
the appearance of the body it is
thought that tho young man had
climbed treo after squirrel, which
he had shot, and which had lodged
in the limbs, and that losing his
footing, had fallen upon stone at
the bottom of the tree.
