been obtained by Edwin since he
reached England, and with the facts
heretofore mentioned in his possession
and deductions drawn from them, he is
now in possession of the complete story
of his life as outlined above.
One of the women who assisted in his
kidnapping died while Edwin was in
America and confessed her part in the
transaction, but incriminated no one
else. Edwin's object now Is to find Tom
Druce. If he is living and can be pre-
vailed upon to speak, Edwin feels that
the fortune that belongs to him is In his
grasp.
The heir Is now about 40 years of age
and in appearance, actions and speech
is totally different from James Druce.
Though reared in the same manner as
other English boys of the class to which
Druce belongs, Edwin always seemed
greatly their superiors. One of the
things that Edwin claims to have dis
proved since he went to England is that
he Is the son of James Druce.
The registry of the village where
James Druce resided and where all of
his children were born, contains the
record of only two children born to Mr..
and Mrs. James Druce, both of whom
are girls.

A NOVEL STREET PARADE.
The Great Procession That Starts Ont at

The Great Procession That Starts Ont at
Noon Today on Tour of Scranton.
Circus parades are delightful objects
of interest to everybody especially to
the small boy; but circuses are not of
such very rare occurrences even in
Scranton. The street parade that the
good people of Scranton will have the
pleasure of witnessing today, while per-
haps it will not have all the magnifi-
cence of the spangles and sawdust, yet
in novelty it certainly will eclipse any
curcus parade yet on record. The pre-
cession which starts from Spruce street
and Wyoming avenue at about noon to-
day will be headed by Professor Martin
on horseback, one of the best post horn
soloists in the country, formerly chief
cornetist on board the Presidential
Yachts, who will be followed by thirty
empty carriages and two band wagons,
all gaily decorated with flags and signs
illustrative of the beauties and sub
stantial advantages to be derived from
a residence at Lorraine" the new prop
erty Wood, Harmon & Co. are opening
on Decoration Day.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
Mrs. wilhelm Struck on the Head by an
Unknown Person.

Unknown Person.
While lying on couch on the porch
Of her home, on the corner of Green
Ridge street and Nay Aug avenue,
Monday night, waiting for her husband
to return, Mrs. Christian Wilhelm was
struck on the head by an unknown
person. Early in the evening she had
locked the doors and all but one win
dow of the house. The blow struck
her on the left side Of the head just
above the ear.
The person delivering the blow is
supposed to have crept up the steps
and struck her. and, although dazed,
she saw man of medium build run
ming up Green Ridge street toward
Main avenue. She called loudly for
help and was answered by neighbors
and her husband. DR.. O'Connor was
summoned and dressed the injury,
which Is not considered dangerous. The
blow is supposed to have been struck
with a club or cobble stone. No mo-
tive can be ascribed for the assault,
as no attempt at robbery was made,
and as far as is known no one had
cause for committing the deed.

Frank P. oochran's Model Farm.

The following description of Kent

(Delaware) Ne,c Era. 1t shows what
brains and energy will accomplish
while in Kent county, Md, last week,
one of our representatives called on num-
Der of wide-awake farmers and marveled
at their vim and push, and had about con-
| cluded that he had seen the leading men
and most productive farms in the county.
Feeling perfectly satisfied with the day 5
pleasure and business in the rural sections,
he started towards the pretty little town
of Galena, but when opposite the gate OF
a well-kept lawn leading up to an inviting
| farm house. he halted, and looking across
the fields. noted more than dozen busy
men. A moment reflection and he at
once remembered the farm and also the
genial go-ahead proprietor, therefore II was
but short time before he was shaking the
hand of one of Delaware sons, Frank p.
/ Cochran. son of r. W Cochran. of this
town. Mr.. Cochran invited us To walk
around and inspect the farm. First was
noted an asparagus bed of , acres as clean
as an onion bed. Mr. Cochran has repu-
tation in the Boston and New York mark
cts which might well be envied by other
growers. Several commission men state
/ that their finest asparagus Is received from
Mr.. Cochran. Last season five stalks were
cut from this bed and when placed ON the

finds great demand Joseph Biges. Of
