TROUBLE OVER A MIsER's ESTATE
Alleged Relatives From Ireland Fail to
Make Good Their Claim.


PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19-The jury in
the case of the Commonwealth versus the
alleged heirs of Thomas Connor to-day
brought in verdict in favor of the plain
tiff This verdict means that the State has
right to keep some $4,000 which escbeats
to it as the fortune of miser who died ap-
parently intestate and without issue.
Connor was an inmate Of the naval asylum
in this city, and died there the latter part
of 1888. He was miserly and most secret
i've in his habits, always claimed that he
had mo relatives, and died without
making a will disclosing such rela-
tives, if there were any. His
boarded fortune, therefore, escheated
to the Commonwealth. Subsequently sew
eral alleged relatives from Ireland appeared
and put in a claim for the money. An is
sue was framed in the court, and it was this
that was decided to-day.
