is entitled to every cent under his brothers
will.
Numerous letters have been addressed { o
friends in this city. inquiring as to the
Whereabouts of the missing man, but not
one has borne fruit
The principal communications have been
addressed to George p. O'COnnell. an officer
of the police force OF this city, begging him
to find out where Edward was, as the last
heard Of him he was in San Francisco.
The officer was a schoolmate OF the heir
in the principal school of Cappoquin n. a nd
knew him we'll In fact, he had enter
tanned him at his residence, 1049 Missile n
street, but the last he saw of him was about
four months ago on Second street.
Everard then presented the appearance
Of man who was sadly in need. His
clothes were worn and soiled, and. in fact.
he presented such an appearance that sub
stantiai aid would have been rendered but
for the fact that the officer feared Insulting
his pride.
The manner that Edward came into such
heritage is romance OF three brothers.
They were all educated in the old Irish
town Of CappoQuin, and on becoming old
enough to maintain themselves. Robert and
George went abroad, after having learned
the dry-goods business in Dublin

for Michael Curran, the leading dry-goods
merchant of Cappoquin.
About eighteen years ago George Everard
was employed in dry-goods store In Phila-
delphia. he was an outside man. and at
tended IN great measure TO imports. He
visited New York quite often in the course
of his business. de had not heard of his
brother Robert for long time, and did not
know where he was at ali, save that he was
somewhere in America
Letters had come from distant relatives
in Ireland inquiring for his brother, but he
could give no information concerning him.
On one OF his frequent visits to New York
City George was entertained by few rep
resentatves OF the leading houses with
which he dealt for be 1t known that at that
time it was cheaper 10 buy imported goods
In the metropolis than ii was 10 import them

Though apparently strange Ii was true.
The party assembled at given place and
waited the full time for the assembling of
the entire company of seven. The hour OF

had never dealt
They were to sit down to dinner at Del
monico's at 6 Is o'clock.
After dinner they were TO constitute an
opera party, and there was no time to walt.
For this reason there was 10 time to be
wasted. Hence note was left for the de-
linQueht 10 60 to the restaurant as soon as
he should arrive at the rendezvous.
Tue others took carriages and were in the
midst OF oysters on the half shell. after
partaking of yermouth cocktails, when the
man from Stewards arrived.
1t was Robert Everard and as he knew
every one in the crowd but his brother the
master OF ceremonies was about 10 intro
duce them.
Blood was thicker than water and in a.
moment the two Irish boys were clasped in
each others arms, while the roliick king young
men arose in establishment and cuntem.
plated the little 'curtain-raiseT."
You are acquainted with my brother
George, l seP," remarked Robert ~ have
not seen him since we parted in old Ireland.
/ VIII assist you right heartily In entertain
ing him." and the festivities went right
along without interruption until the early
hours.
In few days the two brothers settled up
their affairs and sailed for the sntipodes.
Six months later they were engaged in
business as firm in Melbourne.
Later their main establishment was at
Ararat. where their sign read
EyERARD s. DUNNF
wholesale and Retail Diapers SIX MERGERS, Mill
ners and Outhtters.
Mr. Dunno was taken into partnership
about five or six years ago, and the business
grew to immense proportions and the house
was known all over the colonies as the Vic
toria House OF Burkly street.
During January last Robert died, leaving
his estate and the interest in the firm to
George alone. though he was quite wealthy
himself.
In February last George died, as stated,
intesta.e, and the next OF kin is his brother
Edward, then q nephew and aunt. The two
last-named live in Australia.
The estate, however. has been probated
and settled UP, and there are just $500. 600
awaiting the truant Edward. Under The
laws of the country every cent belongs TO
him. IL he cannot be found 10 given time
the property, which has been CONVEX ted in to
coin according TO custom, will 20 TO the
nephew, or, in case Of bis death. TO the aunt
his mother.
The following letter from the surviving
partner OF the firm speaks for Itself:

Mr.. UConnell, who was seen by CALL
