FROM KITCHEN TO MANSION
DEVOTION OF A SERVANT MAID
RICHLY REWARDED.
Old Maid Niece of Wealthy Farmer
Foils the Other Heirs in Con-
tested VIII.

Chicago, Nov 5.-After four years of
Martin has at length gained a fortune,
the gift of her uncle, Edward Martin,
whom she served as companion and
maid Of all work for 40 years prior to
his death. To her, it means wealth
amounting to more than 100000, and it
seems now that nothing can prevent
her coming into possession Of it.
When Miss Martin was years old
she entered the household of Edward
Martin, then a wealthy farmer Of Red
Hook, n. Y. That was more than a
half century ago, and from that time
up TO his death, Which occurred Dec. 3,
1893, she was his constant companion.
The old man was not unmindful of
the devotion of his niece, and sought
to make provision for her during his
lifetime. According to the evidence
during the trial. he rented a safety de-
post box in a bank and early in 1890
began to make regular deposits in it,
telling his friends at the time he wished
it understood that whatever he put into
the box was for his niece. AT the time
of his death, these securities amounted
to S167 ,000 and of this he made no men
ton in his will, evidently with the be-
lief, SO the court has now decided, that
1t all belonged to Miss Martin.
But the other heirs, of whom there
are about &c, We're not long fin raising
their objection to this disposition of the
property. The will was filed for pro-
bate at Seward, in Kendall county, and
almost Immediately a nephew, J. Field
ing Martin, began suit to contest it.,
his contention being that the $4,000 in
the safety deposit box should be
counted as a portion of the estate and
portioned among the heirs.
From the first the contest has been
a determined enc. This was augmented
by the disappointment of the heirs, be-
cause they had counted that their uncle
was easily a millionaire, and 1t devel-
oped that the estate amounted only to
$3.50, 900. The supreme court of Illinois
has finally decided that all the securi-
ties in the safety box, bonds and mort
cages alike, belong to Miss Martin.
During the four years the case has
been pending IN the courts these secu-
rites have been accommodating interest.
All this Will so to Miss Martin with
the principal.
But this is not all her wealth. for
her uncle took care to provide her q
| homestead before he died, and decided
her his farm at Red Hook, N. Y. This
is said to be worth 500 more, and nc
one has disputed her title to it.

PERIL OF A BIG STEAMER.
Fire Discovered When Off Sandy

Fire Discovered When Off Sandy
Hook-Returns Immediately
New York. Nov. 5.-The Red Star
line steamer Southwark, which sailed
from this port on Wednesday bound
for Antwerp, passed Fire Island at 1920
a. m. today bound in. She signalled
fire down in hold amongst cargo. y
Tugs We're sent to her rescue.
The Southwark arrived in the upper
bay at O'clock this afternoon, accom-
panied by the police boat patrol, the
fire boat New Yorker, and the tugs
Pulver and r. ]. Barrett.
The steamer reached her pier at the
foot of Fulton street half an hour later.
To all outward appearances nothing
unusual had occurred on board. None
of the passengers We're, permitted TO
come ashore, nor was any person al
lowed to go on board except the en-
ployees of the company.
At o'clock yesterday morning, when
the vessel was about 220 miles off Sandy
Hook. some of the crew discovered fire
coming up through the ventilators in
the forward part of the vessel, and q
good deal of heat was felt in that quar-
ter. The crew dug down to the matches
in the lower hold, where about 26 bales
of cotton and some grain were slowed
The smoke was very dense, and the heat
increased when the steam was turned
on into the compartment. Two lines
of hose we're also brought to bear upon
the hold and through these more steam
was propelled.
About 10 o'clock CAPTAIN Brice de-
cided to go back to New York. The
passengers were informed as to what
had occurred, and there was no excite
ment among them at any time. Mr.
Wright, vice president of the company
said that he could not estimate what
damage had been done, or when the
ship would be ready to sail again, unit
the hold had been cleared up.
Mr.. Wright said that the passengers
could stay on board until the vesse
would be ready to sail, or another shir
substituted. Up to a late hour tonight
no final arrangements had been made
as to the disposition of the passengers

tFrom The HeralGs Correspondence

fFrom The Herald's Correspondence
Wellsville. Nov "a daring and
partly successful burglary was perpe-
trated last night or, rather, this morn
ing. The safe in the Wellsville Coop
was blown to pieces and all the money
and checks it contained stolen. No
clue has as yet been found as to the
perpetrators, although Sheriff Turner
is out on the hunt for them.
As near as can be learned from those
living near the store and who heard
the report, the burglary was committed
some time between and 2 o'clock this
morning. The people who heard the
noise paid no attention to il and the
robbery was not discovered until the
store was opened for business this
morning.
The safe was literally blown to pieces
The sheriff was promptly notified but
as yet he is still looking for clue to
follow. About $50 in cash and $3.50 in
checks was taken by the cracksmen.
No suspicious characters have been
seen in Wellsville of late and hence no
one knows where TO look for the cul-
prits. Whoever they were, they were
evidently unacouaiuted with the in
terror of the store, as a diligent search
had been made for the cash tllls, which
were not in the safe. They turned
things topsy tuIYy. but didn't succeed
in locating them. A quantity of cloth
ing was also taken. Altogether it is a
mysterious affair
