SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-The half
dozen grown children of Millionaire
James p. Pierce of Santa Clara are
greatly excited over the secret marriage
OF their father, who is 20 years old. to his
house servant, Julia Neff. The marriage

Pierce made his money in mining in the

Santa Clara aud the neighborhood. He
owns to-day ninety-fve acres of orchard
and vineyard within the corporate limits
of Santa Clara.
His four daughters have been living
with him and are Vassar graduates. His
wife died about two years ago. Recently
the girls noticed that their father was
showing much attention to Julia Neff,
so they discharged her. She remained in
Santa Clana, and Mr.. Pierce continued TO
see her frequently. He had only one con-
fident in the love affair, Vice-President
Leonard of the bank in San Jose of which
Mr.. Pierce Is the head. He took Leonard
with him last Thurday on q trip to Pa.o
Robles Springs. ostensibly for his rheum-
atism. After his marriage he came here.
His daughters did not discover his mar
riaQe until last night. A lively family
quarrel is predicted, but as the old gen
tleman is worth 81, ,OO0,OO0 he will proba-
bly, devise a compromise.

NATIcK, May 2S.-The town is in fer

in years.
Four children newly born were found
buried in the cellar of one of the tene-
ment houses yesterday afternoon. Their
parentage is unknown and to-day the
citizens of the valley are trying to ferret
out the mystery.
The children ara apparently we'll de-
veloped, and. could only have breathed
their last but short time before they
were found. Their dead bodies havs been
viewed by many, but rs yet no light has
been shed over the affair.
The inhabitants past and present of the
tenement house in which the children
were found came In for good share Of
suspicion.
The scene of the finding is constantly
visited and the ground is so trampled
over and the utensils in the cellar haye
been so changed in position that
il is almost impossible to find "a tangible
clue as numerous amateur detectives
among the good folks of this village are
attempting to do.
Information is meagre about the find
ing of the children and the circumstances
connected with liz. Vain attempts have
been made by the authorities TO keep the
matter quiet, but it leaked out, aud has
created intense excitement.
