They viii, Enter n Protest,

The Portsmouth Street Railroad has
been running half hour trips through
Park View for several months. Yester-
dav one car was taken off, and now
the run is made every so minutes, which
inconvenience the people living in that
locality very much. The company
claims that they are short of horses
and are compelled to run this way.
Eight or ten of their horses are sick,
and cannot be used. If the company
has not sufficient horses they should
either buy or hire enough. and not
let the public suffer on their account.
They should be made to comply with
the contract or get out and let some
one that will do so have the right of
way

HUNTING A FORTUNE.
r Remarkable Experiences of n Wom-
an Sd Years of Age.

:
BALTIMORE, March 16.-Among the
23S Storage passengers who landed at
Baltimore today from the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Willihad was Miss
Cornelia Seibels, who returns to Amer
lea after hunting fortunes in Germany
and England which she believes she
is heir to. Miss Seibels is 81 years old
and was born near Edgefield court
house, N. c.. Some time ago she read
of the death of Mr.. Seibels, who is said
to have left s3O0,OOO,OOO to relatives.
some of whom lived in the United
States. Her father, Miss Seibels stated
came to America from Eberfeldt thir-
ty-three years after the close of the
revolutionary war, settled in the Caro-
linas and married. Miss Seibels says
there are several more millions due her
from the Temple estate in England.
Her mother, she says, was Marion Sa-
rah Temple daughter of William Tenn
pie, from whose family in England an
other great fortune is said to be await
ing heirs. Eleven weeks ago Miss Sci
bells said she left New York with a
view of presenting her claims to the
'lWO LUZ luutS. LdIulIlS III bremen Sne
proceeded to Eberfeldt, where she
sought the services of a lawyer No
one assisted her, and her persistence
even did not enlist information to sat
isfy as to the chances of securing the
Seibels fortune.
Intending to return to Germany later
and make a final effort in her own
behalf, she decided to go to England
and there get legal assistance in OBJ
tanning some of the millions of the
Temple estate, which were, she
thought, only awaiting her presence
and proofs before having them handed
to her. Reaching London all alone,
she entered the city by railroad, land
ing at Victoria station. Afterwards
she was arrested and no argument she
could use would make the London jus
tice before whom she was taken be-
lieve she was an heiress to the millions
in the Temple estate.
Thirty days in the workhouse' said
Miss Seibels, was the justice meted
out to me. / could not get a lawyer to
take up my case, SO after serving my
sentence l set my face toward Ger
many again, where | hoped | might
have better luck
Again going to Bremen, she says, she
found no one willing to assist her, and
finally decided to return to this coun-
try. She said she was going to her
niece. Mrs. Wallie Straehem in At
lanta, Ga Before starting on her for
tune hunt she lived at jackson, Miss
She says that the late l.. C. Q. Lamar
of Mississippi was her cousin.
