| Fortune Kept From Him.
ClNclNNArI, Ono, July 20.-Som
two years ago man came 10 Hamilton
Ohio, aud hung out sign bearing th
words: ~. G. Ludwig, Veterinary Su,
geon."
The doctor seemed to be doing pros
porous business, and several month
ago married an estimablo young lady
whose parents reside In Hamilton.
| Ludwig was man OF great socia
standing, and soon gathered about hin
host OF friends. At his residence few
days ago he received intelligence OF hi,
fathers death III Germany, and TIM
tho sou had bean left heir To a handsome
fortune. DR.. Ludwig's father has been
dead several years, and, in accordance
with the German custom, the eldol
Ludwig's estate was divided among hi.
heirs before his death. Here is the
STRANGE FART OF THE STORY.
At the age Of fifteen years the sor
made known to his father his intention
Of studying medicine, to which his
father stfenuously objected, and 30 pcr.
sls,ent were the objections OF the boys
father that tho youth left home with
but Sl00 in money given him by his
father. Tho youth embarked for Ameri.
ca, aad has never since seen father,
mother or any Of the family. The son
in course OF time returned 10 Germany,
and visited Berlin, where he sought his
medical education, during which period
he never heard OF his parents. In time
he left the Medical Institute and won
enviable distinction in an European
war, after which he returned to ths
United States and subsequently served
three years in the war OF the rebellion.
Several Years ago be wrote frequently
to his mother in Germany, but never
succeeded in securing m answer to any
OF his letters. He was ut a loss to &C.
count for such strange proceedings, and
came to the conclu ion that she was
either dead or had left the country.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS,
however, convinced the doctor lat the
letters written by him fell into the hands
OF his sister, who audaciously destroyed
them, her prime. object being to prevent
her mother from discovering the where
abouls of the long missing son. His
father, in will left at his death, had
beQueathed him Sll 900, if claimed with
in stipulated time. Some four or five
months ago the death Of the father was
disclosed by a mere accident. He had
written to an old schoomatc in Germany
on business matter, and the friend in
replying sent the doctor a five cent stamp
as present. The doctor concluded to
use the stamp by writing to the Lord
Mayor, inquiring OF that official about
his parents. In due time reply was
received from the Lord Mayor, who
Glanced to be an old neighbor OF the
doctors during his youthful days. The
reply stated that DR.. Ludwig was heir to
Sll,0O0 in United States money. The
doctor has secured counsel and in 4 short
time hopes to gain possession OF his
rig}ltful fortune.
