A Reading man VINO Was Fathc
e. of Al ChIldren.

s of Al Children.
q ALLENTOWN, May l3.--The recent
death near this city OF a man named
Heffner, developed the fact that he was
one of q family OF Al children. His
father was John HeAner. who in 1885
was accidentally killed by the cars in
Reading, where he resided. He was 50
years Of age, and besides being the father
of Al children had one step-child, who
also called him father.
Hstner was one of Readings oharao-
ters, and was In the full yigor of health
when he was killed. It Ia doubtful if his
record In tht parental line has ever been
equaied outside of Mormondom. He was
q dwarfed hunchback, and not by any
means Of prepossessing appearance. He
was born In Berlin in 1915, and coming
to this country in l843, settled in Read
ing. Until his death he made his living
by collecting and selling rags and paper
His remarkable family history ia part Of
the records Of the Berks county courts, it
having been elieited a short time before
HIS death while he was @ witness in law
suit.
He was first married in Germany in
16s0. In eight years his wife bore him
~ children. The first and second years
of their marriage abe gave birth totwins.
For four successive years afterwards she
gave birth TO triplets. In the seventh
year she had single son and died soon
atterward. or the IL children she left
the oldest was only years OF age. Hen
ner engaged young woman TO look after
his large brood OF babies, and also soon
began TO lay siege to the woman's heart
She capitulated and three months after
the death OF the first Mrs. Hetfner she
became Mrs. Hetfner No. 2.
She presented her husband with two
children in the first two years. In the
next i've years she added 10 to the
family, giving birth to twins every year.
Tken for three she added only one
year. She died before another year came
round. OF the 80 children John Heffner
had been presented with IL had died. The
20 that were left did not appear 10 beany
obstacle to young widow with one child
cOnsenting TO become the third wife OF
the jolly hunchback, for he was known as
one of the happiest and most genial Of
xnsn in Reading, although it kept him
toiling like shave to keep his SCORE OF
mouths in bread.
The third Mrs. Heffner became the
mother Of nine children to her husband
in ten years, and the contentment and
happinesszof the couple were pgoverbisl.
One day the father of the Il children was
crossing the tracks of the Reading rail.
road and was run down by locomotive
and instantly killed. But for that sad
ending of his life it is impossible to esti-
mate what the size OF the little peddler's
family would have been. His widow and
most OF the 2S survivors Of the Al chill
dren reside in Reading. They are
thrifty and respectable people.

THE HEDGE FENCE SUITS.
A Chester County Jury Decides ii
Favor OF the Plaintiff.

Favor OF the Plaintiff.
WEST CHESTER, May l5--An interesting
case has just been tried before Judge
Waddell in the common pleas court of
this county. The facts of the case are
these William T. Painter, wealthy
farmer residing in Birmingham township,
and Edward Brinton, the former the
agent of the Dayton, o., Hedge Go. and
the latter mutual friend, to organize
sub-oompauy in this county, to be
called the Chester County Hedge 90. and
it was further stipulated il Mr.. Painter
would take 100 shares of the stock at So
per share, amounting to 5000, that the
Dayton Hedge 90. in year after the or
ganization of the Chester County Hedge
Co., would take his share OF stock off his
hands at the original price.
MIR. Painter took 1876 shares and at the
expiration of the year desired the Dayton
Company through Graham, its agent, TO
fulfill their contract and take the stock,
amounting to $685., of his hands. Mr..
Graham refused TO comply and q suit was
instituted. The line Of defence was that
Mr.. Graham did not make any suen bar
gain nor was he the agent OF the Dayton
Hedge Company.
This morning jury rendered q verdict
10 favor Of Mr.. Painter amounting to
$670.73, being the entire amount of his
claim with interest. There is several
thousand miles Of this fence in this
county, and It Is possible that similar
suits for alleged violation of the same
kind of contracts will follow this case.
