Boston's AstOr and Vanderbilt,

Boston Letter.
Chief among Boston's capitalists is Montgom-
cry Sears, whose vast holdings of valuable real
estate give him claim to be called the Astor
of the modern Athens. He inherited $1,000
600 a few years ago from his father, Joshua
Sears, who came to Boston without a penny
and established small grocery business BY
astonishing parsimony. backed with remarka-
BILE business instinct, old Josh rapidly piled up
the thousands. The land he bought multiplied
in value, and it was not very long before he
found himself millionaire. Already old. he
began to look about him for a wife, and
finally selected his housekeeper When he
died he left his money so that his son
should never come into the bulk of the
estate, providing the young man merely
with pitiful $4,000 year. This did not suit
"Monty" at all. who thereupon began proceed
ings to set the will aside, and finally succeeded,
with the aid Of skillful lawyers in getting hold
of the entire property. He has added to it
considerably since. and his fortune seems not
unlikely to compare favorably during his own
lifetime with the possessions of any one of the
three great Aston landholders. Mr.. Sears be-
longs to all the swell clubs, keeps a steam
yacht and is an amateur in violins, of which he
has a valuable collection.
If Montgomery Sears is to be regarded as the
Aston of Boston, Nathaniel Thayer is unques-
tionably its Vanderbilt. He owns no end of
railways in the west notably good part of the
". D. ohu W. ahu many PoOpic tiiuh nc ls WOftn
at least Sl0,0O0,000. He is likewise a member
of all the fashionable clubs and keeps a stable
full of expensive horses. As might be imagined
his father was too much engaged during his
lifetime in the absorbing occupation of making
money to be much of a swell Young Nat and
"Monty" Sears are excellent illustrations of the
indisputable fact that money, if you only have
enough Of it, is the best possible introduction
even to such ultra-exclusive society as Boston
affords. The lack Of ancestral pap-spoons is
not apt to be felt very seriously by Mr.. Gorgius
Midas. Other people will not let him feel it.

Ben Sanfeben, of this city, was so sure that
Cleveland would win the election that he prom
ised to kill his pet st. Bernard pup and dine off
the carcass if Harrison won. friend laid him
S25 against his resolution, and the other day a
chosen party of FOUNDERS went to see Mr.. San
feben eat dog at a certain saloon. The day
preceding the feast the luckless pup was
slain, skinned and placed on ice, and
before going into the oven his inside was
stuffed with bread, onion. and savory herbs. A
table was neatly spread in a room adjoining
the bar, and everything was ready for Mr.. San
teben when he arrived. He evinced no repug-
nance for his meal, but. having taken his seat
and adjusted napkin under his chin. he called
for 1.-The roast" The pup was promptly
brought, cooked to turn. and was squatted
on its launches, supported by couple of forks
thrust into its sides just behind the forelegs
Wedged between its jaws good-sized
wienerwurst, and it was well sprinkled with
spinach. Sanheben had the waiter carve him
off one of the hind legs, and he slowed it away
without any hesitancy. The expression on his
face was quite amusing when he took the first
mouthful and carefully tasted it in manner
betraying his doubt as to what he had better
do with it. He smacked his lips, however, and
ate several slices from the breast, besides the
leg, and declared that he had enjoyed his
supper"

ReZZellO's Fatal Liberalitv,

COSTLY GIFTS TO HIS SISTER AND LOANS TO HIS
BRoTHER-IN-LAw BETRAYED HIM.
A special dispatch to the New York World
from Wilkesbarre, Pa, January Z, says: Req
zello, the ringleader in the Mcclure murder.
spent a very quiet day in Jail to-day. He eats
little and is very restless. He will talk to no
one and absolutely refuses to be photographed.
1t now transpires that Mike was not as shrewd
as some people imagined. One of the first de-
Detective Thayer, of Philadelphia. He lived
at Miners Mills for some time, and he and Mike
became quite intimate.
A scheme was entered into between Capt.
Linden and Thayer. Linden was to have a
great quarrel with Thayer and discharge him
This was done, and Thayer pretended to
be very downcast at losing his place. Finally
Mike offered to get him a job at Poughkeepsie
if he would go along. Thayer accepted and
they went of together. For weeks Thayer
watched him day and night and got many
points. They went to New York once or twice,
and Mike paid all expenses and spent money
freely. At last the time came for the arrest
and Thayer persuaded Mike to accompany him
to Philadelphia for "a good time" and fell into
the trap.
Mikes downfall leads from the time he began
to spend money freely. A few weeks after the
murder Mikes sister, Ollie, married board
inghouse keeper named Robert Costello. The
marriage ceremony was performed in New
York city and II was quite an elaborate affair
The bride was alfred in a brown silk dress
which was given her by Mike, who paid Ss5
for it. Mike also presented his sister with
beautiful gold watch and chain, valued at s1s5.
After the marriage in New York the bridal
party returned to Poughkeepsie, where a grand
reception was held. Following the custom in
Italy, Mike presented the new wife with a
purse Of s600 as her dowry. The detectives
knew all this, but did not want to show their
hand. The climax was reached when Costello,

bread for his clearinghouse. 1t cost d, 200
to put up the building. As he was never known
to have any money, the Suspicion became gen.
eral. Afterward il was found out that Mike
had loaned him the money. This is what led
TO the Italians arrest. There has been no
further hearing in the case yet, and probably
VIII be none for some days to come.
