HEIRS WANTED TO A RICH ESTATE
Governor McCOnneiPs Wife May Get a
Slice Of the Fortune.

Boise, July Ex-Governor Mcconnell has
received from a friend of the family an
clipping from an Oregon pa
per. 1t is as follows:
For a number of years the officials or
philadelphia have been searching for
the lawful heirs to the large landed Ball
Brown estate I'M that city, which has been
exempt from taxes for a hundred years,
as it was held in trust by church or
ganizaton. There have been from time
to time a number Of claimants to the es-
tate, but as yet none have been able to
satisfactorily establish legal lineage as
the direct descendant from William Ball,
the original owner, who died in 1877. Dan
lei S. Nash of this city, who traded lana
in Lane county for the property of {. Hall
in Oak Park, is in receipt of letter from
a nephew, asking him to qualify as the
SON of the direct heirs, Mrs Hannah
Nash. who was a cousin Of John Brown
of Harpers Ferry, also direct heir II
is believed that the lineage has been es-
tablished. Mr.. Nash is one OF nine chill
-dren and one-ninth Of his mothers snare
of this estate amounts to $4,000. me
whereabouts Of one of the direct heirs is
not known. It is Benjamin Brown, who
lived at North Yamhill in 1866, and IN the
fall of that year went to California
Should these lines be read by anyone VINO
knows his whereabouts they can prop
ably secure a fat 'divvy' by putting him
onto the prospect he has of inheriting a
large fortune
The interesting feature of the matter
develops in the fact that Benjamin Brown
was the father of Mrs. Mcconnell. His
share of the estate would be the same as
that going to the Nash family. AS ne
had seven children, all still living, each
would be entitled to nearly $4,000.

BRUTAL ASSAULT IN INDIANAPOLIS
Eighteen. Y ear.Old Brute Narrowly Es
capped the Mob.

Indianapolis, July 25.-The fever of ex-
element resulting from the brutal murder
of little Ida Gebhardt had in no way abat-
ed today when it was learned that Charles
Davidson, Is years old, and an insurance
solicitor, had been arrested charged with
criminal assault on Ivy Hutchinson, IL
years Of age, not far from the girls home.
Davidson was taken to the West Indian
apolis calaboose. An angry crowd began
hurriedly to gather in the vicinity of the
prison and cries for vengeance went UP
from the crowd. Two lines Of hose were
attached to the water plugs and streams
of water were turned on the mob, which
gave way and scattered. Davidson was
hastily brought to this city and lodged
in the county Jail.

THERE WAS NO HELP AT HAND
yiceroy Of the Province Refused to Lift
Finger to Protect the
Missionaries.

Vancouver B. c., July 25.-The steam
ship Empress Of India from Hong Kong
brings news Of the attack made on
the foreign missions in China few
weeks ago. A riot occurred at the
premises of the Canadian Methodist
mission, their hospital dispensary and
chapel being looted and burned. Al
though the mob was kept at bay for an
hour or two, and although the yamen
were near and the soldiers barracks
were about five minutes walk away,
no attention was paid to the requests
for assistance. After resting for the
night, the mob began next day and
when the day was ended nothing re-
manned Of the II places Of worship of
Protestant and Roman Catholic mis-
sions. In every case the officials made
a mere pretense Of protecting or fatty
refusing it. All took their cue from the
viceroy, who had been degraded and
seemed to think nothing worse could
befall him. Even when the flames were
bursting out of the premises of the
Roman Catholic mission, stones
throw away, he did not lift a finger
to help, merely remarking that this was
calamity for his successor to at
tend to.
Mothers with their little ones climbed
over the back walls and hid for hours
in the dirtiest of holes. When discov-
cred there were cases where ransoms
were paid by both foreigners and ma
tive Christians. There were cases of
flight from one mission to another, only
| to be mobbed and compelled to flee
again. The members Of the American
Methodist Episcopal mission climbed
over a wall to a neighbours and re-
manned IL hours in a dirty little loft,
watching the destruction Of their prop
| erty.
Some Of the Canadian Methodist mis-
sionaries who sought protection at the
soldiers barracks were driven out, one
of the women with her little ones being
kicked by the brutal soldiers. At length
all took refuge at the yamen of the
district magistrate.

Turing prospects Of lake trip the
delegates to the third annual conven-
ton Of the United States League of Lo-
cal Building and Loan Associations
buckled down to business in goodly
numbers this morning. The Quaker

memorial, spoke learnedly on the es
sential principles of building societies.
The necessity of various reforms in
the conduct of these institutions were
clearly set forth by p. N. Endsley Of
Minneapolis; w. L.. Finch of Cincinnati
spoke upon the relations of building
associations and the press; Alexander
Christie of New York discussed various
premium plans, and addresses were al
50 delivered by E. p. w. Williams of
New Orleans and G.. M. Mattinger Of
Omaha. This afternoon the convention

of the local associations, and enjoyed
trips to Put-in-Bay.

Nearly Every Province Reports a
Heavy Death Rate.
THEY PERISH IN THE STREETS
Disease Brought Home by the Troops
Returning From the War in China
Plague Is Spreading.

San Francisco, July 25.-Cholera is
raging in Japan and nearly every prov
ince in the little empire reports a heavy
death rate for the disease. The officers
and passengers Of the City Of Pekin
tell tales of deaths from cholera in the
streets of cities where the steamer
called. From the outbreak of the dis
ease until the date the steamer sailed
from Yokohama 1888 deaths had been
reported.
The disease was brought to Japan by
the forces returning from the war in
China and Corea, and whenever a regi-
ment was sent home and disbanded
cases Of cholera began to develop, and
the disease spread with such rapidity
that the physicians Of the district were
unable to keep it in check. In spite of
such precautions and the united efforts
Of the quarantine officers the plague
has become so prevalent that all the
way from so to 100 deaths day are re-
ported from it., and as many more are
said to occur that never reach the ears
of the authorities.
HELD AT QUARANTINE.
Port Townsend, July 25-The British
steamer Antwerp City arrived this morn
ing from Kobe, Japan, which is listed by
the United States authorities as cholera
port, without a clean bill of health. The
government quarantine officers ordered
her to quarantine, though no sickness
was reported on board. The steamer will
probably be released Monday and proceed
to Tacoma.

Supreme Tribunal of the Mother Lodge
to Consider a KnOtty Question.

Supreme Tribunal of the Mother Lodge
to Consider a KnOtty Question.
Norfolk, Va, July 25.-Members of
the supreme tribunal Of the Knights of
Pythias are gathering here today for a
session of several days, and at which
it is probable that the steps to be taken
against the seceders who have started
what is known as the Improved Order
of knights of Pythias will finally be
decided upon. It is understood that
Chancellor Richie is in favor of dealing
automatically with the seceders, but
that he stands alone in this view, the
remainder Of the supreme officers hold
ing that the new order should be en-
joined and its promoters given no quar-
ter. The secession grows out of the old
German ritual fight, the new order
being composed of German speaking
members Of the order who resent the
decision of the supreme lodge that the
ritual shall be printed only in the En-
glish language, and that the German
tongue shall be barred in the secret
work of the lodge. A dozen lodges OF
the opposition order have already been
organized in different parts of the coun-
try, and it is said to be growing rapid
ly.
