MARSHAL NEY'S FORTUNE.
An Alleged American Grandson Will
Claim Il Share of it,

Emil Ncy, one of the four living grand
sons of the renowned Marshal Ney, has
been discovered in San Francisco in pOv-
crty, and is on the eve of leaving for
Paris, there to lay before the French
court of claims evidence which he claims
will entitle him to Il share in his grand
fathers fortune, which amounts to some
S15.000000 dollars.
The story told by Ney concerning his
distinguished ancestor corresponds with
the writings of historians, but takes no
account of the recently published story
that as matter of fact. the famous
Frenchman was never executed, but was
struggled to the seacoast and from there
emigrated to North Carolina, where he
eked out an existence teaching school.
After the condemnation and subsequent
death of Marshal Ney his widow sought
refuge in Switzerland, which was then q
province of Prussia, with her two sons.
One of them, the eldest, who succeeded
to his fathers title, Prince of Moskwa,
died bachelor in 1889. The second son,
Alexander Ney, contracted mesalliance,
which resulted in his disinheritance upon
his mothers death. He became infatu-
ated with and married the housekeeper
of one of the marshals of Germany. This
marriage with woman so far beneath
mother that she never forgave her son.
To the union were born four children, all
sons One died in infancy, two are in
the German army, and have sworn al
legiance to the flag which their grand
father trailed in the dust of his troopers.
The fourth and youngest son was Emil
Ney, who is now in this country. He
was an adventurous youth, and cared
more for escapades and dare-deviltry
than he did for books and responsibility.
He determined to 90 before the mast, and
to accomplish this he ran away from
home before his Goth year. He visited
almost every country in the world, and
about - years ago landed from a mer-
chairman at Philadelphia, and deter
| mined to quit the sea. He remained in
| the East for few years and then emf
| grated to the Pacific coast, finally settling
| in San Francisco. where he prospered
and was in Il fair way to spend his re-
naming years in comfort.
In 1889 he first wrote to the French
government. setting forth his claim to
a share in the Ney fortune, now held in
chancery. National justice, while sure,
is correspondingly slow, and he could
obtain no satisfaction. He then began a
systematic and thorough search for evil
dence which would establish beyond a
doubt right 10 participation III the
fortune of his grandfather, but until four
weeks ago did not succeed in favorably
| impressing the dispensers of justice in
| the French republic.
Ney's persistent search for evidence
has resulted in his being reduced to eX.
| IRENE poverty. -Four weeks ago he re-
, ceived a summons to appear in Paris be
fore the department of justice to further
press his claim. He is now endeavorinG
to raise the necessary funds, and is con.
tident of success.

(From Tuesdays DailyD ,

Some time since Major General open
beimer submitted to the officers OF the
Texas Volunteer Guard hypothetlcal
case of Texas city of 10000 inhabi-
tants. in the hands of violent mon, de-
fving civil authority and destroying
property. A map of the city accompani-
ed the hypothesis, and each officer was
required to write detailed statement
of the military operations necessary TO
ouell the riot, each officer to consider
himself in command of a battalion OF IN
fantry and one Gattling gun and having
been called upon by the mayor of the
city to aid the civil power. A gold medal
was to be awarded for the best answer;
the merits of the various essays to be
determined by board of United States
army officers, to whom the same were
submitted. The contestants consisted OF
two brigadier generals, seven colonies,
seven lieutenant colonies. seven majors
and about % captains. The board has

the medal to Colonel William III. Stacy

MANOR MENTION.
The Great Artesian Well Has Been Re
ceiyed by the City.

Mr.. james Webb, a well known farmer
who lived near Manor, died Saturday
night and was buried yesterday evening;
very large cOncourse of friends ana
relatives attending the funeral. The
Woodmen of the World, of whom he was
a member, also attended in body.
The artesian we'll was received from the
contractors today. The water flow is es-
umated at 100000 gallons per day. The
taste is very unpleasant, but many pro-
positions for utilizing it are. advanced.
Already we hear of wonderful cures by
it's medical properties, and as there IS
very strong flow the electric light plant
has also its favorites. 1t will be a great
blessing for fire protection. Its other
usefulness has to be developed.
To see the clear flow over an eight foot
pipe like great fountain seems to be-
speak greater things for Manor.
We now have full fledged newspaper
in the Travis County Democrat, and con-
sidering its many obstacles its first issue
was a success, and we predict a glowing
future for it's promoters. They report
meeting with satisfactory encouragement
from the citizens and business firms.

Bat Shea Beneath the Shadow of Death
For Murder-An Interesting Case.

Donnemorra, n. Y, Feb. 11.-Every
arrangement has been completed for the
execution of Bat Shea, who is to die on
the electrical chair some time before
noon today. The death warrant has
been read and the group of 20 or more
newspaper men and physicians are
gathered here to await the hour of eXecu-
ton.
Shea has said goodbye to his friends,
and yet an air of skepticism pervades the
prison, for at four distinct times Shea
has been equally as far beneath the
shadow of death and something has &C.
CURED to prolong his life.
The sensational episodes that have
marked the case since the commission of
the crime and down to the day of the
execution will not be lacking at the end.
1t is singular and rather horrible fact
that Shea will be executed by his friends.
Warden Thayer, who read the death
warrant to him tonight, has known him
from boyhood, living in the same city
with him. Deputy Warden McKenna,
who will lead the procession of death as
a guard to the prisoner, is also from
Troy, and knew the convicted man well.
In another part of the prison is man
who, in the presence of witnesses, under
oath and in his own handwriting, has
declared himself the murderer of the man
for whose death Shea will atone. Wheth.
er or not Shea really killed Ross. Ne
CROUCH, the confessed murderer. and
Shea alone know.
1t is doubtful if there was ever A case
that had in it elements of such dramatic
nature.
