Want Their Money.

George w. Hayward, a former resident
of Fair Haven, is missing. He started a
jewelry store in Waterbury, obtaining
goods on credit from several New York
firms. One New York firm, however, S.
F. Myers & Co., demanded security from
him for goods bought of them. He there
fore induced DR.. B. L. Lambert of 1853
Howard avenue and D. G. Winans, the
jeweler at 30 Center street, both of this
city, with whom he was friendly, to come
to his aid, assuring them it was only q
matter of foam. They accordingly signed
an agreement which the New York firm
submitted, binding themselves in the sum
of $3.50 each to be responsible for all goods
to a certain amount which s. F. Myers &
Co. of New York should send Hayward on
commission. Myers accordingly sent the
goods. Later they wanted the pay, but
Hayward had closed his store, having sold
goods at ruiniously low prices and had de-
camped. The New Haven men who went
surety for Hayward are now called upon
for the $500 and the New York firm has
authorized Lawyer Chase of this city to
bring suit

VIII shortly be Filed I'm the Courts
Of New York City-The Recovery of
Real Estate on Broadway and Ada
cent streets OF the Value of $780,
100000 the Object of the Suit.
WEST POINT, Miss, July f9.-A suit in
volving property worth over 500, 900, 900
will shortly be fled in the courts of New
York city and Colonel h. Clay King of
Memphis, Tenn, and T. @. King of this
city are deeply interested. 1t will also be
of great interest to a large number of peo-
pie in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas
and Texas, relatives of these gentlemen.
The suit is for the recovery of property
leased to the city of New York ninety-nine
years ago, the lease having just expired.
Ninety-nine years ago Robert Edward. at
that time large real estate owner in New
York, leased to the city for the term of
ninety-nine years a considerable amount
of real estate on which Broadway
and several adjacent streets for some
distance are now located, the lease
specifying that at the end of the lease the
property with all its improvements should
revert to his heirs. He died q bachelor,
leaving an only brother as his heir. That
brother died leaving one child, daughter,
as his heir. That daughter married the
grandfather of ColonelH. Clay King and as
matter Of course her descendants are the
heirs to that property. The King family
have in their possession all the documents
necessary to prove clear title to the
property in question and as the lease has
just expired suit is to be commenced at
once to recover possession of the property
Mr.. T. G. King of this city yesterday mail
ed to Mr.. McLeary, the attorney
for the heirs, his power of attorney
and as soon as a power of attorney
can be obtained from all the known de-
scendants of the Edwards family suit will
be instituted. Mr.. McLeary has associated
with him another prominent attorney, and
they are so confident that the case can be
pushed to a successful issue for their
clients that they have agreed to bear all
the costs of the case for a certain per-
centage of what they get. The whole num-
Der of heirs is not known, but even If there
were 1 1000 it would still mean a magnif-
cent fortune for all concerned. Mr.. Kings
friends in this city are more than pleased
to hear of his prospective good fortune,
and he is somewhat elated himself.

PARIS, July 19.-The press is generally
satisfied that II. de Freycinet will not re-
sign the premiership. The Steele says: A
rupture of the cabinet on such grounds
would be incomprehensible alike to the
chamber and the country. A change in
the government at the present juncture
would signally encourage strike agitators.
La Justice holds that the rebuffs recently
experienced by the ministers must not be
attributed to any combination against
them. 1t says: ''The strength of re-
publican government must be measured by
the manner in which it responds to public
opinion, not by votes having a character
unworthy of serious consideration" Sew
eral opposition organs predict the fall of
the government within three months.
They say that Constans within and Ferry
