A ROMANCE N REAL LIFE.
The Good Fortune That Befell a Poor
Gardeners Daughter.
HEIRESS TO FIFTEEN MILLIONS
The Legacy Comes From an Uncle Who
Went From England to Australia
and Amassed a Vast Fortune
in the Gold Fields.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IA remar kable
romance in real life has come to light by
the sudden and unexpected inheritance of
fortune Of S15,OOO 600 by the 25year-old
daughter of a poor gardener, William
Kelly, who lives at 1888 Latonia street. this
city Elizabeth Kelly, the heiress, and her
father confirmed the story. The legacy
comes from the estate of a long dead uncle
Peter Kelly, who amassed a vast fortune
In the Australian gold fields over thirty
years ago.
Peter Kelly was living with his parents
in Lancashire, England, when the Aus
tralian gold craze broke out and he went
to that land to make his fortune Nothing
was heard of him for many years until
one day, nearly quarter of a century ago,
his mother received word that he would
soon return home a millionaire. He did
not come, however, but after some months
deaf mute who had been a passenger
with Peter on the vessel bound for Eng
Land appeared, and told of q violent storm
at sea- in which a number of passengers,
including Peter Kelly, had been drowned.
Inquiry was begun and the sons story
OF his millions was verified, part of the
money being in Australian banks He had
never married, and had no relatives in
Australia The family received the inter
est on the fortune which was valued at
SIS 100000.
Some time after Peters death, the story
goes, his brother William, who had come
to America before Peters departure for
Australia learned of the existence of
will in which all the estate was bequeathed
to his (William 's) eldest child, Elizabeth.
Williams wages were enough for the sup
port of his family, and it is authorita-
lively asserted that when he first learned
of this vast estate he made no effort to Sc
cure it for his then infant daughter Two
years ago, however, he engaged an attor-
ney, and it is declared that the enormous
legacy will be placed at the disposal of the
girl this week.
The heiress is reported as having told
her friends that she is going to distribute
her wealth as follows: '"To her brother
she intends to give 81 900, 900; to his wife,
the same amount; to their children, Will
lie, years old; Alma, B. and Walter, the
baby, who is in his first year, she will hand
over $4,000 each The heiress' sisters,
Florence, who is s. and May, who is II,
will receive 81 900, 900, to be held in trust
for them. The father, it is thought, will
enjoy the bulk Of the wealth with his
daughter

HOW PHILADELPHIA is ROBBED.
Damaging Evidence Accumulating Against
the Thieylng Contractors.


the Thieylng Contractors.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IL - Yesterday S
session of the senate investigating com
mittee was devoted to the examination of
seven witnesses, corroborating the testi-
mony already given by General Agent Ad-
dis, of the Citizens Municipal association,
as to noncompliance with specifications of
contracts relative to paving street clean
ing and garbage collection.
Addison f. Bender, employed by the
Citizens association, told of Investigations
he had made of the number of men re-
quired to keep asphalt streets clean. He
showed that only about half the required
number were kept at work AS to the use
of fitted Belgian blocks ~ paving he never
saw any used and citedFseveral instances
where incompetent gangs of Italians were
employed, turning out inferior work.
Bernard Bowen, representing the Ma
honal Payiors and Rammers' association,
eorroboraUed Mr.. Bender as to the paving,
and Informed the committee of the un-
satisfactory manner in which complaints
made by him to the authorities within the
past few months have been treated.
Dennis Mahoney, at present in the stone
business said no fitted blocks We're laid in
the city, although the contracts called for
this kind Of paving.
John McNeely testified TO having seen
garbage collected by the incinerating com
pany' wagons and dumped in Delaware
county and the lower part of the city.
The committee then adjourned, and at
the request of Lawyer Freedley will not
meet again until Nov, 81.

CLASHES OVER HEALTH LAWS.
Special Meeting of the Board of Health
Last Night.
IN OFFICERS TRIBULATIONS !
People object to the Notices Of Contagious
Diseases and one Refuses to Allow
the officer to Supervise the Dis
injecting Of Premises.

A special meeting Of the Board of Health
was held last evening and was attended by
Messrs. spalding, Malone, Miles and Nc
Hale.
The president stated that the meeting was
called to take action on the difficulties en-
countered by the Health Officer in enforcing
the rules of the Board as to the disinfecting
of the premises Of Peter Hiley, corner of
West and Oak streets, where a contagious
disease existed, and to consider other matters
Of special importance.
Health officer Conry stated that he re-
ceiyed notice from the physician in atten-
dance that the patient in Mr. Hiley's house
had recovered from typhoid fever and the
placard could be removed. He went to the
house to make the removal, but before doing
50 informed Mr.. Hiley of the Boards ro-
quirements as to the dsiniecting of premises
and Of the officers duty to see that the dis
injecting was properly made Mr.. Hiley
bankly refused to allow the officer to enter
on the premises, consequently the officer re-
fused to remove the placard pending instruc-
tions from the Board
-AiNNA AlN''A AIS tllt 0ltltlutll but BOdIu
adopted resolution ordering Health Officer
Conry to proceed with the enforcement Of
the rules and take any action in the premises
that may be necessary to enforce a com
pliance.
The Health Officer also stated that he had
some difficulty with D. R. Lewis, of North
Main street. about the placing of notice of
contagious disease. Mr. Lewis had case of
diphtheria in his house and objected to the
notice being placed in front of his property,
which was the only public place that could
be selected in compliance with the rules
He wanted the notice posted inside of the
building, at a doorway leading to the upper
part Of the dwelling, The Health Officer
placed a notice at a doorway leading upstairs
and on a subsequent visit found the notice
was entirely disregarded He then placed
the notice ON the street door entrance, as the
only proper place for a notice of that char
acter
An exchange of views by members of the
Board as to the advisability Of placing no
tices at the public entrances of business
houses brought out the opinion that, as the
notices were posted solely in the interest of
the public, to warn the people of the ex-
istence Of dangerous diseases, and while it
may work hardship sometimes on indi-
viduals the welfare of the many required
that the notices be posted in conspicuous
places. The Board was of the opinion that
the placing of notices should be left to the
discretion of the Health Officer and no dis
elimination can be made between a place of
business and any other place
