A ROMANTIC STORY
@. c. Brown Falls Heir to SEQ. 900
Through the Death of his sister.

Through the Death Of His Sister.
g. c. Brown, father of Jay r. Brown,
the attorney, is in luck, if, as he thinks,
it was his sister who died in New Or
leans a short time ago.
Among the telegraphed news to this
coast last Wednesday was the an
nouncement that Mrs. Fanny Hinck-
icy sweet Mills died in that city at
tne age Of 6O years from starvation, and
tnat an examination of a bandbox re-
Vealed $4,000 worth of United States
ponds, hidden among some trash, and
anat her entire estate was valued at
$50, 1000.
The dispatch further stated that she
mad revoked the will by which she had
leIt her property to be divided between
an orphan asylum and men who had
befriended her, and the Public Admin
istrator, in the absence Of known heirs,
had applied for letters to administer on
the property. She had either starved
herself from penuriousness or fear of
poison.
c. c. Brown, on reading the para
graph, had Justice Henry send dis
patch to New Orleans, his son Jay being
out Of the city. stating that Mrs. Mills
was his sister, and asking who had
charge OF her estate, and intends to
start for New Orleans to esablish his
claim as soon as his son returns.
He says that his sister was the wife
Of A. M. Hinckley, a wealthy ship agent,
before the late war. Her husband died.
leaving her his fortune, amounting to
several millions She was a sympa-
thizer with the Southern cause, and
contributed over quarter of a million
to aid it in prosecuting the war. After
ward she went to the battlefelds and
contributed with her money and work
TO ALLEVIATE the sufferings Of the sick
and wounded
She owned at that time about forty
acres in the suburbs of New Orleans,
which had become valuable from the
extension of the city, and which con-
stituted the main portion of her prop
erty. Through a decision in the cele-
brated case of Myra Gaines against the
city, the latter won the title to the
property held by Mrs. Hinckley, and
she lost, as was supposed, all her
wealth. A few years ago she married
Mr.. Mills, VINO was a lawyer in the
Myra Gaines case and who was then
leading attorney in New Orleans. but
he became dissipated before his mar
riage and soon after died.
Mr.. Brown says that his sister was
i'll Sacramento in 1S49 and 1850. and
those are still living here who knew her
He had not corresponded with her for
years, but Robert Dunn of this city
saw her in New Orleans a short time
ago and told him Of it, adding that she
did not seem to be in her right mind.
Mr.. Brown says he had another sis
ter living in Ohio, but has not heard
from her for sixteen years, and thinks
she is dead

Hoboes and Tramps Force Mohr &
Yoerk TO Curtail Their Generosity.
Mohr & york have been for several
weeks past furnishing free meals twice
a day, Of soup and meat, to all who ap-
piled. no questions being asked and no
one turned away.
The tramp and hobo element, how
ever. have caught on" and so many of
them have made a practice Of applying
for meals, that the capacity Of the firm
for supplying them was no longer suf-
fcient AS there was no way, except
through great trouble and possibly ex-
pense, of determining who are worthy
or unworthy of such aid, the firm has
posted a notice that after tomorrow
only one meal a day, from 3 p m. to 9 p.
M, will be served. Thus the deserving
but unfortunate will suffer for the sins
Of the regular "bums," but there is no
help for it.

a scientist Discovers a Powd er That

A startling revolution in fashionable
dressmaking has been made possible by
the recent discovery in France of highly
luminous powder, by the use of which the
most elaborate toilets of the past will be
eclipsed. says the New York Herald.
The new discovery applied to dress

wildering variety of effects. The dis
covery, recently announced in Paris, was

The Southern Seaport Town
Almost Destroyed by
a Cloudburst.
Torrents of Water Rush Down
the Hills and Invade
the Dwellings.
Buildings Are Removed From Their
Foundations and Easements
F CODED.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. Nov. 25.-The
beautiful seaport town of San Pedro had
remarkable experience last night which
almos. caused its complete destruction.
San Pedro is built on sidehill gulch
facing the ocean.
The location has given it excellent drain
age, but it came near being the towns
everlasting ruin. A cloudburst above San
Pedro last night produced such a flow of
water down the hillside as to almost sweep
the place out of existence. Buildings were
removed from their foundations and many
a resident found his house upon his neigh
boris lot this morning.
This moving of dwellings and other
buildings caused intense excitement and
great CONSERVATION for short time, but,
strange 10 say. no person was drowned.
Some of the principal streets we're washed
out TO a depth of twenty feet and were
veritable creeks this morning. The dam
age will amount to about $500 and in
some respects is irreparable.
Easements were all flooded and much
perishable property was DESTROYED. Tele-
graph, telephone and electric light wires
were borne down in every direction, and
long section of the Southern Pacific track
was washed out or completely covered
with debris and sand.
A steady rain had fallen all day Tues
day. increasing in the night. At about IL
O'Clock there was a cloudburst directly
over the city. Tremendous torrents
poured through the streets and forced
entrance to dwellings, driving the panic
stricken people to places of safetv. Until
morning pandemonium reigned in the
town.
To-day the people have been occupied
in taking an invoice of the damage and
replacing their buildings. Many of these
remained intact and in consequence suf-
fered little damage. Others were de-
molished and swept away in bits and
pieces.
The waters were largely confined to the
main streets, which have in many in
stances been rendered absolutely impss-
sible.
An eyewitness describes the scene dur
ing the rush of water as a most imposing
and awe-inspiring one. The roar could be
heard for miles around.
