A Romatic Story.

st. Louis Republic: Judge Cox, of
the superior court, who has given the
case legal attention, furnishes the follow
ing remarkable history.
About 100 years ago a Quaker jeweler,
named Collins, lived in New England.
Bis sen. Peleg, became enamorcd of a
girl out of meeting" married her, and
moved to Cincinnati, opening up a Jew
elry store or Sycamore street, which was
soon robbed of its most valuable goods.
There was no clew, and q now stock was
purchased. The couple had two chill
dren, a boy and a girl named
Emma, who grew into a remarka-
bly, handsome m Mark ThoIna-
guy, bonn in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1870,
went to London because of political
changes. In 1910 he died immensely rich,
leaving three daughters. The youngest
married into a rich French family named
Falquet, Louis Alexander Falqnet came
here in 1850. he met and married Emma
Collins. The marriage seemed TO bring
misfortune. Emma's parents separated.
The father went to San Francisco. Mrs.
Collins went to New Orleans VS. a fortune
teller. and was found dead with her
throat cut, whether suicide or murder
was known. Emma's marriage was
an unfortunate one, too. Business was
bad and they lived most of their lives in
want just after their third child was
born Falquet disappeared, but afterward
whom four are living. Trouble drove
MrS Fo1pnaf ipcono onI e1,n Wv, t,1,,,
to the Dayton asylum. The fifth child,
only a few days old, was taken to the
county infirmarv, the other children to
the orphan asylum.
In October, 1886, Caroline Grosc died
in London, leaving a vast estate with no
will or known heirs. By accident Hugh
Pugh. a well known Cincinnati coal
dealer, who knew something of the Fal-
quets, learned that the deceased woman
was a granddaughter of Mark Thorna
guy. Fifteen years were spent in estab
fishing the proof, aud January 90, 1886,
Edwin, Harry and Eugene Falquet laid
claim to the estate. In March, 1887.
Louis filed a claim for it, claiming he was
the only con of his father, and that his
father was divorced from his mother
after he was born. Louis with
drew his claim, joining The three
brothers. Just at this time two brothers,
claiming to be son descended from the
eldest daughter of Thornaguy, appeared.
1t was proven that the daughter was IL
legitimate. and their suit failed. The
last court has just awarded the entire
estate to the four boys, and in about
three weeks they will get about 5000, 900
each.
Another curious feature of the case is
that the jewelry stolen from Peleg Col
Inns s shop years ago was turned up dur
ing the search, though it played no part
in the case. Where the other two chill
drcn are will probably never be known.
