GOV. PRICES MILLIONS.
1t Took a Chicago Man t. Find
Them.
Special to the JERSEY CitN Ncacs,


HACKENSACK, Oct. 5, 1S94.-A fortune
of between $4,000, 600 and s., 600, 600, chiefly
New Jersey property. is reported to have
come into the possession of Benjamin
Price, a clerk in the Cook County Jail in
prise by the people of New Jersey that
this immense property was left by the
late Rodman NJ. Price. Ex-Governor of
the State. and father of BENJAMIN Price.
This fortune, says a Chicago news
paper, lis scattered over America, Eng
land and Australia, and until a solicitor
can get a complete inventory of the
property it's exact value will not be
known. Part of the property is in Mel
bourne, Australia, and came from Hiram
Price, grandfather to Benjamin Price;
that suburb of Hackensack, NJ, known
es haywood. On it is an old colonial
mansion, occupied by the Price family
years ago. and valued at $4,000
Adjoining 1t is the large property of
he William Walter Phelps estate; Mr..
Phelps was a cousin of Benjamin Price.
The estate CT r. NJ. Price, the father of
Benjamin Price. is now in the hands of
an administrator and will soon be settled
M. Mr.. Price has engaged Thomas S.
Hogan, of the legal firm of Case, Hogan
the latter may make a visit to England
and Australia to settle up the affairs OF
the estate. At present Howe & Hummel,
of New York. are looking after the for
elEil part U l!it EoldtG.
This will show to New Jersey people
that the further one is from the location
Of an estate the larger that estate grows.
Rodman NJ. Price, it is believed, was
once the possessor of a considerable for
tune. He went to California in the for
ties, and was the first to hold a judicial
office under the American flag after it
was raised in thai State. On returning
to his New Jersey home in 1850 he was
elected a member of Congress and served
until 1858. From 1854 until 1857 he was
Governor of the State.
BENJAMIN Price, who chicago people
believe has become so very rich, has
been a jail clerk for fourteen years; He He

Wilson says, not one of these reforms
with the possible exception OF the Sher-

On the contrary, the tendency was to-

and subsidies and other reckless dissi-
patton of the National Treasure. john
Wanamaker's ''~scandalous looting of the
Railway Mail service" showed what
might be expected in the way of civil

son, approaching his peroration, by its

penditures, heavy taxes, bounties, sub
sides and exorbitant protection.
Except for the one great and happily
now dead issue, for which they called
the party into existence, the people
have never found it an instrument of

sioner put him to work on the cistern at the
corner of Court and Second streets. He
labored very faithfully until eSening, when
the hour for quitting came, Taking ad-
vantage of the street commissioner turning
his back, he picked up his coat and ran
through the alley. One of the men heard
s1mething drop as ne took his coat from the
piece of timber on which it was placed.
Looking down as soon as the fellow had
skipped he found three dollars as result of
his search. Work and he did not agree,
and he would rather lose his money than be
forced to earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow

Suicide at Hood River.

Will Shoemaker, of Hood River, a
young man about II years of age, COM
mitted suicide yesterday by shooting
himself in the breast. He was very
bright boy, and had been trken out of
school because his frail body could not
support his Intellectual activity. About
two months ago he and his father went
to Yakima to pick hops, and while there
he suffered from sunstroke, since which
time he has been subject to fits OF re-
morse. His father constantly watched
him, fearing that he would do something
injurious to himself. Yesterday taking
shotgun he went hunting, and was soon
followed by his father. About mile
and a half from the house he was found
dead with terrible hole in his breast
He had taken off his coat and vest, laid
them one side, cut a branch three feet
long, made a notch on one end, then
placed the gun to his breast and pulled
the trigger, the entire charge of shot,
wadding, ETC., entering the body. Coro-
ner Butts summoned Jury this morning
and went down to Hood River and held
an inqnest. The facts brought out in
evidence are the same as stated above
This sad affliction has almost prostrated
his parents, and they have the heartfelt
of the entire community.

How He Does 1t.

Mr.. O'Brien, of Umatilla county. is a
level headed farmer. Instead of looking
sour, he says he is making money this year
He doesa't sleep. He diversi6es his bust.
ness and runs it ON business principles. Let's
see. He gets about $500 from his butter;
500 to 5000 from his potatoes; perhaps SlO0
from hay; his hogs pan out well, and even
with wheat as low as 1t is this year he clears
something. Mr.. O'Brien was asked,
"what principle do you apply to your farm
ing to enable you to make money when SO
many are complaining that in no depart
ment on the farm can profit be secured?
The reply was: SIT is by diversity of crops,
and by carefully keeping account of all out
lay and revenue so as to tell how much
more is secured from one line than another"

Rough weather.

Late reports from Astoria are to the effect
that very heavy weather prevails off the
mouth of the Columbia.and that the bar is
very rough. 1t is reported at Astoria that
eight fishing boats left South Bend, WASH,
about week ago, bound for the former
place. Nothing whatever has been heard of
these boats since their departure, and it is
feared that all the men who embarked on
this perilous voyage have perished. Two
men, it is said, were in each boat, making
a total of Is. 1t is the opinion OF fishermen
that if these men were on the ocean during
the recent storm it is almost certain that
they have been lost. Yesterday the waves
were rolling very high outside the bar, and
no fishing craft could possibly live in such
a sea.

Fell Over a Bluff.

A man by the name of Henshaw Sunday
night about half-past 10 O'Clock fell, over
the bluff in the rear of the town of Graut,
receiving severe injuries from which it IS
supposed he will not recover. He had
been working at Grant for the past month,
and claims that companion robbed him
OF $l2 and threw HIM over the cliff. As
carpenter tools were found near where he
tell. 1t is supposed he had stolen Them
and was attempting to hide them in some
secure place above The town, when he
made misstep and fell distance of fifty
feet over the precipice. One of Mr.. Wal
ker's SONS heard rocks rolling down the
hill 4; but he paid no attention to the mat
ter until about an hour afterwards, when
cries for hep were heard, and proceeding
to the palee from whence they came, the
unfortunate man was found in a terribly
manglad condition. Both arms were
broken, the skull was fractured, and the
ribs on one side were crushed. Last night
the man was taken on the train 10
the 3eod Samaritan hospital in Port
land. Not much is known about Hem
shaw, only that he was an ex-convict from
klickirat county.

An Ancient Pledge.


The following ancient temperance
pledge was sent to Lady Henry Som
erset by the late s. c. Hall, formerly
editor of The Art journal. 1t is
printed in old English characters and
was found on the blank leaf of BIZ
BILE which has been transmitted from
sire to son through many genera
tions. 1t appears as the property of
Robert Bolton, B. D., preacher of
Gods word at Broughton, North
amptonshire.
from this daye forwarde to the
ende of my life, 1 will never pledge
any healthe or drink carouse in q
glass, cup, bowie or other drinking
instrument, wheresoever it be, from
whomsoever it come, not to my own
most gracious kinge, nor any of the
greatest monarch or tyrant upon
earth, nor my dearest friend, nor all
the goulde in the world, shall ever
enforce me. Not angel from heaven
(who / know will pot attempt) shall
persuade, nor satan, with all his
Guide subtleties, nor all the powers of
hell itself shall betray me- By this
very slime (for slime it is, and not a
little one) 1 doe plainly find that l
have more offended and dishonored
my glorious Maker and most merci
full Saviour than all the other slime
that am subject untoe, and for this
very SHINE it is my God hath often
been very strange untoe me, and for
that cause, and noe other respect have
1 thus vowed, and L heartily beg my
good Father in heaven of his great
goodness and infinite mercy in Jesus
Christ to. assist me in the same, and
be SO favorable unto me for what is
past. Amen. ."-R. Bolton, Brough-
ton, April 10, 1887.
