ARE AFTER MILLIONS.
The Long Looked For staples For-
tune May Soon BE Had.

Stroudsburg May 17.-How would
you like a Christmas present CT fif-
teen million of dollars? 1t takes your
breath away to think of it. More than
the state debt of Pennsylvania. a sum
vast enough to make an Astor or a
Vanderbilt envious, and that sum, says
the Times, is likely to come to people
in Monroe county at some time, if the
present indications are anything to go
by. This great sum or money is lying
in the Bank of England awaiting
claimant, and the Staples of this coun-
ty believe they are the rightful heirs
to the money.
1t appears that the immense fortune
was the result of sales of real estate
by the English government. The money
belonged to the brothers and sisters
of the great grandfather of cxPro-
thonotary w. S. Dutot, who came to
America many years ago. While old
John Staples was in America his broth
ers and sisters all died and heirs were
advertised in the old London Gazette,
the few copies eXtant of this paper
being preserved in the London Muse
um. None came forward and accord
ing to British law the estate was for
the required time to claim.
The big tracts of real estate were sold
and the proceeds placed in the famous
of banking institutions-the Bank of
London. In the year 1929. so the story
goes, the government borrowed the
money, agreeing to pay three per cent
interest on the same. 1t NAV not be
commonly known but money can al
ways be claimed by heirs in England
but not in real estate. Probably the
first to look the matter up was the
venerable Rev. John Staulas, of this
borough, who made a trip to England
for that express purpose. He found
that there was money in the bank for
the Staples and employed q firm of
lawyers in that country to look it up
Since that time, and not so very long
ago, a New York firm of bankers Of
fered the reverend gentleman $4,000 for
his share in the estate.
Recently q lawyer in the employ of a
man named HeatOn, of Maryland, also
an heir, has been in town on a quiet
hunt after material to further prose-
cute the claim. Mr.. HeatOn has made
trip to Albions Isle himself and is
full of the fortune. He took out letters
of administration on the estate and
employed the solicitors of the Bank of
England itself to look after his inter-
ests. The English lawyers became so
impressed with the genuineness of the
claim that they agreed to work it out
for ten per cent. of the whole sum.
SO enthusiastic is Mr.. Heaton over the
affair that he stated to one of the local
heirs that if anyone was to offer him
a certified check for $50,0OO he would
refuse it. On the other hand some of
the heirs are so skeptical that they
would sacrifice their claim for circus
ticket.
At present there Is a slight hitch in
the affair but Mr.. Heaton does not give
up. His mother. by the way, is a Sta
pies, and the Maryland man claims
that some OF the money, if not all, Will
be ready by Christmas.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review,

New York, May 17.-.The presidents meg
sage calling for an appropriation to relieve
destitute American citizens in Cuba
proved fer less hostile in tone toward
Spain than the dealers in securities has
apparently persuaded themselves that 1t
would and the market strengthened upon
its publication, recovering some part of
the loss that ensued upon early intima-
tons that the message was Forthcoming
and that its tone toward Spain would be
extremely provocative.
With the exception of few weak spots
in the market, due to causes peculiar to
the stocks affected, the market was strong
all around today and even the intimations
from Washington that early action In
the senate on Cuban belligerency was
probable did not weaken the tone Of the
speculation The total sales of stocks to-
day were 1S7, 1886 shares.

Flew Milford, May 17.-Bill Jenkins is
proprietor of one of the largest farms

the past dozen of years or more Bill
has been a large consumer of hard
cider so much so that at times his
navigating and talking apparatus have
refused to do their bidding, much to the
indignation of his family. Now it so
happened that Bills COW pasture is on
an extensive hill at the furthermost
corner of his farm, and ii has long been
his costume in the morning to locate
his cattle by the use of a telescope and
then direct his son the nearest course

liam Hall, who lives near the COlliery,
bad some clothes to soak in tubs just

look after some cooking. When she
went back Cne of the tubs filled with
clothes had disappeared in the earth.
The second tub started in search of it's
companion.
Mrs. Hall became frightened and
went back in the house. Summoning
courage a few minutes later, she looked
ont of the door, to find that the coal
house had followed the tubs. To top it
all off, cherry tree that was not only
valued for the fruit it bore, but for the
shade it afforded, dropped in, leaving
only the top sticking out The hole is
