1t has come at last. but twas weary
the waiting. The contract of building
u retaining wall at tho Pittston avenue
culvert is let and contractors Corcoran
& Donahos will begin operations In
about u week.
This is welcome news, but there is q
sting to 1t. The taxpayers are reminded
that all the expenses incurred in build
ing the culvert was at various times in
danger of becoming u double
loss, through the insuificiency OF
the first work done. This was no
fault of tho contractors who built the
culvert. They did what their contract
called for. But the floods have since
played havoc with the embankment.
and that would not have been the
case II sufficient appropriation were
first passed to finish the work fully.
But it's all right now. The retaining
wall will be built and before the rains
of autumn have any chance to wash
away any more Of the already not too
plentiful embankment.

Mrs, Ann Hosie, q widow wash
woman, of 326 Gibson street, is o'day
the happiest woman in this city, II Il
sudden change from poverty to riches
can make her happy. Yesterday she
received word that she had fallen heir
to the estate OF her uncle. Rev Peter
Stratton, u Presbyterian Clergyman Of
Dundee, Scotland, and from her story
il appears that the estate Is very rich
one, comprising besides very respect
able bank account large amount Of
real estate.
Chief of Police Simpson also received
letter asking his assistance in estab-
fishing Mrs, Hosle's identity. Robert
Simpson. clerk of the police depart
ment. visited Mrs. Hosie, and after
making a number of inquiries concern
lug her maiden name. place Of her
birth and the names OF her relatives,
as directed in the letter. he became
satisfied that she was the Mrs. Hosie
referred to. The inquiries came from
Peter McGregor, 20 North Ellen street,
Dundee, Scotland, and 1t is supposed
that he is the executor OF the estate.
The chief will today inform the Scot
land party Of the result of his investi- =
cations.
MRS. HosIEs STORY.
A TRIBUNE reporter called on Mrs
Hosie yesterday and found her living
in a small. poorly furnished house In
the rear of Gibson street. She re-
csived the reporter very cordially aud
talked freely of her good fortune. She
was the daughter OF wsll-to.do Scot
tish traissman, who was brother OF
the recently deceased clergyman, Rev.
Mr.. Strattou.
In her girlhood Mrs. Hosie acted in
the cspscity of housekeeper for her
uncle, and of all her brothers and sis
ters she WAS the favorite with him. H0
Was quite wealthy then, owning valua-
Bile property in the business portion OF
Dundee How much he may have
amassod since then can only be guessed
at, as Mrs Hosis has heard but little
concerning the will except that she has
been made her uncls's heiress.
Mrs. Hosie came to this country
twenty-four years ago and four years
later became widow. She was COM
pellsd to support a family of sever
children by doing washing and going
out to work by the day from that time
on to the present. 1t is not likely tnst
she will do even her own washing
hereafter.
