DANDY CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
Matthias Brewer VIII No Longer Toll
By Day and Night

VALPARAISO, Ind, Dec. 81, 1898. Matthias
Brewer and William Dreake, of this city,
will equally share fortune estimated at
$S0O,00O. Matthias Brewer, after whom
Matthias Brewer, of this city, legal heir,
was named, was a native of New York, and
it was in the great metropolis of that State
that he amassed fortune estimated at 49,
100000. Matthias owned a large tract of land
on Manhattan Island and as New York
assumed metropolitan proportions this tract
grew in value and at the time of Matthias
death, thirty years ago, it had reached q
fabulous value Matthias, as stroke of
business policy, executed long-term lease
of the property, at the termination of which
time the heirs of his estate could legally pro-
vide for an equitable distribution Of the
same. The leases expired in August of this
year and the EonefciaIies Immediately com.
menced action for division of the property
For years Matthias Brewer and William
Dreake, of this city, have toiled from early
morning until late at night to provide the
neceSsaries of life for their families Brewer
had drifted away from his kin and had ap-
parently disappeared. A stray news
paper paragraph noting the latest de-
velopments in the Brewer case result
ed in a quiet investigation, and
established his lawful claim to portion of
the estate. He was without means to prose-
cute his claim and Dreake, a neighbor, mort
gagged his house for the money necessary to
institute proceedings. He has just been ad-
vised that his share will aggregate $500, 200
and Dreake is to be remembered with $780,
600, one half of the wood sawyer's for
tune.

MONsON's TRIAL FOR LIFE.
Testimony All In and Counsel Sum-
ming Up.
By Cable to The United Press.

CNNNpS
EDINBURGH, Dec. 81, 1S93.-At the trial to
day of Alfred John Monson, indicted for the
murder of Lieutenant Hambrough, manager
Andre, of the Clyde Mills Company, the sole
manufacturers of amberite, testified that an
amberite cartridge fired from distance of
six inches would not cause singeing
As an expert in the use of firearms
he gave it as his opinion that Lieuten-
ant Hambrough had met his death by
stumbling and dropping his gun. The
weapon, he believes, had been discharged
when it fell to the ground. A person falling
1nstinctively raises his head, and this fact
accounted for the horizontal wound in the
deceaseds head
Mr.. Day, agent for firm of gunmakers
testified that he had been shooting with
Lieutenant Hambrough, and and frequently
remarked the careless way in which he held
his gun.
Mr.. Donald, boat builder, said that on
several occasions he had had to check
Lieutenant Hambrough's actions when in a
boat, fearing that he would capsize it. The
payment for the yacht bought of him by
MonSon had not vet been settled
Colonel Tillard testified as to an accident
that occurred in 1871, when he was snipe
shooting. His gun had accidentally been
discharged while he was walking on slippery
rocks, and part of the contents hit him in
head and ear, rendering him unconscious
When he recovered he found that both bar
rels Of his gun had been discharged.
j. Brodie hness, barrister, testified that
the documents signed by the deceased re-
garding the G20, 900 insurance with the New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company did
not effect valid assignation.
John Blair, solicitor for Monson, was the
last witness for the defence. He testified
that he met Monson ON August 25, when the
latter was very anxious to find Scott. Ad-
vertisements were placed in newspapers and
everything was done without avail to dis
cover his whereabouts.
AS soon as the defence announced that it's
evidence was all in Mr.. Alexander Asher,
Solicitor General, addressed the jury in be-
half of the prosecution. He asked the jury
to find verdict of guilty on both charges of
the Indictment.

LAFAYETTE CITIZENS GRUMBLE.
The Streets Are in an Almost I'm
passable Condition.

The Streets Are in an Almost Inn
passable Condition.
Lafayette residents are grumbling about
the way they are Inconvenience by the
dilatory manner in which the contractors
for the work of the Consolidated Traction
Company are doing their work in that sec
tion of the city. Months ago the
work of tearing up the old
tracks and putting down the new rails
at decreased grade was begun, and during
that operation the street was necessarily
blocked SO far as general traffic is concerned
But since the work is practically finished
these good people in Lafayette are puzzled to
know why the streets are still in the torn-up
condition
OF course, the contractors were immedi-
ately blamed for this, and inquiries were
made why the public streets are in such
horrible condition.
A NEWS reporter, investigating the COM
plaint, spoke to many of the men engaged on
the work of laying tracks yesterday on Pine
street, and these said that they are ham
pered because of the delay in supplying
bolts, f1shplates, wires and boards to place
alongside the rail. As fast as Superinten-
dent of Tracks Leahy sends in the material
the work will be carried forward, but on ac-
count of his negligence in this matter the
work is stopped.
Mr.. David Young could not be seen this
morning in reference to this matter, which
causes a great deal of annoyance to every
person living on the streets.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ORITIoIsED.
Taken to Task for Some Peculiar
Utterances.
IN Cnble to the Tnited Press.

Dy CuOtc " Tue OIlleU ITeSS.
LONDON, Dec. 21, 1893.-The Chronicle to-
day publishes lengthy interview had by its
representative with Cardinal Gibbons of
Baltimore, which is noted for its sympathetic
treatment of labor problems. In COMMENT
ing on the interview the paper says
A phrase used by the Cardinal in the in
terview about men living to toll whereas
they should but toll to live is the labor ques-
tlon in nutshell. Cardinal Gibbons does not
show any special moral courage
in his proposed remedies. When
reminded of such blot on modern indus
trialism as the Standard Oil Company, and
asked whether colossal wealth gained by the
tactics that have enriched the Rockefellers
is not the fair prey of an enlightened COM
munity, the Cardinal replied:-ssWe cannot
go back on what is done"
If this doctrine is to be taken literally, all
that is necessary to procure for your prop
erty the defence of the Catholic Church is to
just get it, pile it up in the quickest
way you can, and then the
Church will not go back on what is
done. The Cardinals saying I've shall
not benefit the laborer by despoiling any
class" depends entirely for its significance
upon what is meant by despoiling them
The Cardinal dislikes strikes. Nobody
likes them, but better thousand times sUrike
than perpetuate an injustice compelling
workingmen to live below the standard OF
decency.
With regard to the coming conflict be-
tween the American Democracy and the
Catholic claims for religious teaching in the
public schools, it is certain that the only way
to prevent the struggle is for the Catholic
Church to withdraw its ante-diluvian claims.
The United States is hardly likely to lag be-
hind France in such matters.

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATING.
Will Find Out Flora Hertzig's True
Character.

The Grand Jury yesterday began an inves.
tigation into the cause of Mrs. Flora Hert
zig of Hoboken, who is in the County Jail
on charge of libel 1t will be remembered
by the readers of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
that this lady is the one who annoyed Broker
Francis B. Herbert of Hoboken, by claim
ing he was her commonlaw husband. She
repeatedly sent him letters which he turned
over to his attorney, John G. Besson. Then
she wrote letters to Mr. Besson and ex-
Senator Stuhr, warning them not to keep
her husband from her. Even the Rev. DR..
Houghton of Trinity Church, Hoboken, re-
ceived communications from the woman,
she charging him with opening her letters
and keeping money sent her by Herbert The
latter stood the woman's annoyance for some
time, but was at last forced to take the
course he did. He asserts he knows nothing
whatever of her. In this he is believed,
while every one considers the woman insane.
She is a divorced woman the trial of her
case being one of the most sensation al ever
held in the Chancery Court. At the trial
were introduced a number of pictures of
Mrs. Hertzig and the correspondent in the
case, taken while the couple made love along
the river walk, Hoboken.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY.
President Heureaux's Con-
duct Causes an Upris-
ing in San Domingo.
ORDERED A GENERAL SHOT.
Then All the Members Of the Dead
Mans Immediate Family-His
Excuse for so Doing.

BV Gable; Copyright, 1893, b. the United Press.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 81, s93.-Intelli-
gence received here from San Domingo is to
the effect that an uprising against Presidents
Ulisses Heureaux is expected soon.
A short time ago President Heureaux
caused the arrest of one of his prominent Gem
erals, who he suspected was plotting against
him and ordered that he be shot.
Not content with the execution of thS
General, the President caused all the
members of the Generals imne-
diate family to be also shot.
The affair caused deep indignation among
the friends and relatives of the General, and
they determined to seek revenge.
They have been materially aided, it is said,
by Haytian agents and it is probable that
very determined attempt will be made to
drive President Heureaux from power.
The party opposing him is reported to be q
strong one, and severe fighting is shortly ex-
pected.

ESCAPED IN THEIR NIGHTDREsSES.
Disastrous Fire I'm Sheffield This
Morning.
By Gable to the United Press,


LONDON, Dec. 21, 1S93.-The building oc-
cupied by Hovey & Sons, drapers, in Shelf
field, caught fire this morning. Sixty as
sistants of the firm were rescued with diff
Guilty. Five fire escapes were used to take
them from the burning building. The efforts
Of the firemen to confine the fire in the
building in which it originated were fruitless
and the flames spread until five other build
ings were burning. The damage already
amounts to 100000, and the fire is still
burning.
The assistants of Hovey e. Sons slept in
the building. They were not aroused until
the fire had gained considerable headway.
Then scene of panic followed. Many of
the girls would have plunged headlong from
the windows had it not been for their cooler
headed companions, who held them back
A number of them escaped in their night
dresses They found the passage leading to
the street a mass of flames Without
hesitation they plunged wildly through the
fire and reached the street more or less in
jured. Some of them had their hair and
eyebrows burned off, and their faces, arms
and legs were badly scorched They were
attended by physicians, and those who were
not so badly hurt were cared for by people
in the vicinity. The others were removed
to the hospital. Those who were rescued by
means of the fire escapes were not injured
An immense crowd stood by and watched the
fire.
The confagration was the worst that has
visited Sheffield in many years. The build
ing occupied by Hovey & Sons and two other
buildings were completely destroyed Three
other buildings, one of which was occupied
by Mr.. Horner, dealer in paintings and
other art works, were gutted Many build
ings in the vicinity were badly damaged

COLLECTOR KILBRETHs DENIAL

New YORK, Dec. 81, 1s93.-Collector Kill
breth today denied that frauds aggregating
s1,000,000 in relation to tobacco refunds has
been discovered in the New York Custom
House.
Il wish to say that the story is not true, y
the collector said. "It is not true in several
particulars. First, as to the special agent
having made the discovery of frauds,
no special agent had anything to
do with it, The story is evi-
IDENTIFY built upon correspondence between
his office and the Treasury officials at Wash
ington. Nothing in this correspondence
indicated frauds to the extent of
100000. The total refund for tobacco
for the past eight years was only S7,177,
am investigating certain matters con
nected with the Custom House, in which l
expect to show that there have been fraud
ulent practices, but there is nothing to indi-
cate such 2 big sum as 81 100000, am not
yet ready to disclose the result of my in
yestigation.
