a MILLIONAIRE sAvANNAHIAN.
After Years of struggle he Dies When
Great Wealth is Plainly in Sight

after Years OF struggle He Dies When
Great Wealth is Plainly in Sight
There passed away from sight yesterday,
says the Los Angeles Herald of Jan. IL, a
man whose familiar figure on the streets he's
been known to all the citizsns of Los An
geles for twenty years or more.
c. B. Rlchardsone was one Of the
best-known men in this section He
was born In Savannah, Ga, fifty-one
years ago. About the breaking out
OF the war he was graduated from the
University Of Tennessee, and a5 the first call
Tor confederate troops be was one of the first
TO respond. He was q captain Of artillery,
and IL was the constant conclusion of the
heavy guns which caused the deafness which
characterized him here in Los Angeles.
AT the close OF the war he went to Yale.
where he was duly graduated ia the
courses OF classics and law. Having taken
bis degrees he returned to California, and
nndlng legal business anything but brisk, he
accepted position ia family at San Ber-
nardino as q tutor. He was a ripe and ac-
curate scholar in many branches of litera-
ture. His deafness, which increased as be
grew older, acted as great barrier to his
practice OF the law.
Years ago Mr.. Richardson's became oon-
WINGED that the mountains around Newhall
were rich in deposits Of oil. He took up
territory there to the extent Of $40 acres
and set TO work to accomplish the develop
ment OF the treasures be felt convinced lay
beneath the surface. 1t was no light under
taking for a man without large means,
But Richardson's faith in the value of his
lands never altered. Some time ago he sue
oeeded in interesting an old-time college
chum who had money to take q
half interest in the scheme, and
they proceeded to sink wells, The
securing Of the land and the time spent in
getting some one with capital interested ex-
hausted all the means of Richardsone, aud
as consequence be had to practice the
most self denying and rigid economy for
years. His health, shattered by long service
in the army, gave way under the tax i'm
posed upon 1t, and for years he has been
consumptive. Within the past year or SO
the wells sunk have proved to be very good
ones, and the deceased had Just entered on
the road to great, possibly to fabulous,
wealth. The last well sunk Is
now yielding 1875 barrels a day.
The net income of the man who
held on 80 long and worked SO hard
has recently been not less than 500 a day.
But the strain on his health hiss been too
great, and for a month past he has known
that he could not live long. He died yester-
day. He has a sister at the OLD Georgia
ZONE. whom 1t is understood inherits
nearly all the properly. He told an attor-
ney of this city, a close friend of his, a
short time ago. that he had made an olio~
graphic will TO that effect The document
has not yet been discovered, but no doubt
exists.
1t Is difficult TO estimate the value of the
property left. Ii may easily be worth
81 100000.

Unearthed Remains of Dwarf Race.
Erorn The .Sn,I Erntnctsco Chronicle

from the San FRANCISCO Chronfcte.
Capt. J. 8. Prescott, who recently re-
turned here from Victoria, B. c., describes
an interesting experience which he had
while north. He was in Victoria at time
when considerable excitement had been
caused by the discovery of ancient human
remains in some mounds. The little hill
locks were dug into and skeletons were
brought to sight by the shovel and pick
axes. The discovery was made at place
called Macaulay's Point. A workman
clearing away what he thought was a
natural rise in the ground, touched a hard
metallic substance with his pick. On dig
ging further the object came to view. 1t
was an iron war weapon shaped like har-
poon, only much shorter and stouter
Curious characters were etched in it. and
their lines had survived through centuries.
One Of the mounds was excavated and a.
fat stone was exposed. 1t had been designed
as door to a sepulcher, for on being raised
grave walled on all sides bv tightly c.
meuted stones was seem. In it was a dwarfed
body doubled up in a sitting posture-a GUS
tom followed by the ancient Indian tribes
along the entire Pacific coast. The forma-
ton of the skull was like that of a Chinese.
The body. though small, was that of an
adult dwarf. Several other graves were
opened, and the occupants of all of them
were similar. in anatomical construction and
size. In many of the graves rough hewn
utensils, evidently used for cooking, were
found, together with arrow heads known to
have been used by coast tribes extinct for
centuries.
At Csdboro bay similar mounds were ex-
cavated with like results.

The Madame Fry Concert.

The Madame Fry Concert Company will
be at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion gymnasium hall tomorrow night The
Wilmington Star says Of q recent concert
in Wilmington:
''It was a good one. Such was the uni.
versal opinion of the large audience who
had the pleasure OF attending the concert
at the opera house last evening. 1t was the
first time our people ever heard a concert
programme in which all the numbers, vocal
and instrumental, were rendered exclu-
sively by ladies, and this unique feature
rendered the entertainment the more pleas
ing. The entire programme was well car
ried out, but the violin solos of Miss ALA
Fry, aud the Rotations of Miss Cheney are
worthy OF special mention. Those who did
not attend missed a treat, and Madame
Fry and her daughters may feel assured of
generous patronage should they come to
our city again"

the adjoining houses, and their we'll directed
efforts saved a more serious loss. A house
on the opposite side OF the street was con-

its contents, are a total loss. The origin of
the fire is unknown. The amount of insur-

managers and singers, o reorganization Of
the Emma Abbott Opera Company has
been effected, and it is very likely that the
new troupe will appear at New York thea

organization has been made by Charles H.
Pratt, who was Miss Abbott's manager.
Emma Mabelle Baker is to be the new prima
donna. She is the wife of William
Broderiok, the bass singer, and both wero
in the Abbott company until its recent dis
bandment. Miss Baker is soprano of con-
siderable power and dramatic ability. She

proves successful the company will go on
the road to fill the dates cancelled by Miss
Abbott's death.

A Husband Who Was Regarded as
Dead Surprises Ills Wife.
From the Philddelphia Times.
WILKEsBARRE, Jan. ia romantic
event has just came to light here. 1t is
repetition of the old tale Of Enoch Arden.
but with somewhat different ending. In
1888 william Evans and Maggie Williams
were residents of Tamaqua, Schuylkil
county. They fell in love with each other.
ana In course of time were married. Evans,
who previously worked in the mines, had a
little capital, and after his marriage started
a small merchantile business. He did not
succeed very web, and becoming discour-
aged sold out and went to Colorado.
In the meantime two children were born
to the couple. The husband promised that
he would send for his wife and children as
soon as he made home for them in the
west. For two years Evans worked in the
mines in Colorado. He sent money home
his wife every month. Then he fell sick
and was taken to a hospital. That's the
last his wife heard Of him until some months
later, when she received paper apprising
her of her husbands death.
GETS ANOTHER HUSBAND.
Upon receipt of this news Mrs. Evans re-
moved to Wllkesbarre and kept house for
her uncle. She was a good-looking woman
lOT ner age anQ IN Inc spring or 1889 MIR
ried John s. Jenkins, and both lived hap
ply together. On Friday Mrs. jenkins
heard knock at her front door and sent
her Oldest girl to open the door. A we'll
dressed man stood in the doorway. He said
to the little girl: SIS your mamma in? and
is she all aloneY' the little miss responder:
YES, mamma is in all alone" The gem
tleman then walked in. Mrs. jenkins rec
ognized the man at once as her husband.
She tainted, and after she recovered she
explained the situation. The husband said
1t was all his fault he should have kept up
his correspondence with his wife. He had
been sick, but recovered; the Evans who
died was another man.
AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT.
In the evening Mr.. Jenkins came home
home and his surprise was great. "What
are we going TO do now, wifep' he asked.
Indeed, Il don't know" said Mrs. Jenkins,
" always did love my first husband, and /
love you, too. don't like TO give either of
you up" s-s.se-.vsegrss,
After long discussion of the situation
the men agreed that two husbands were too
many for one woman; they would pull
straws for her. The woman agreed. Evans
WOO. Husband No. 2 at once packed up
his belongings aud moved out of the house.
Mrs. Evans still retains possession of his
child, but with the fathers consent. Early
this week Evans will remove his family to
Denver. The affair has created no little
excitement here.
