LEFT HER HALF MILLION
GOOD FORTUNE OF A FORMER IN
DIANAPOLIS FAMILY.
Daughter of Late Capt. w. A. Brown
Heiress of Washing
tom Bookseller.

Miss Mary P. Brown, of Washington, d.
c., who has fallen heir to the 100000 estate
of Robert Beall. a famous Washington
bookseller, is the daughter of the late Capt
w. A. Brown. formerly of Indianapolis.
Captain Brown originally lived in Green
castle, but moved to Indianapolis in the
seventies and practiced law Early in the
eighties he became clerk in one of the
departments in Washington, and moved
there with his wife and infant child, Mary.
In 1884 he was appointed consul at Grey
town, Nicaragua, where he remained until
1891, when he died. The members of his fam
lily remained in Washington and have never
moved away.
While still an infant almost little Mary
Brown attracted the notice of Beall, book
seller, who formed an attachment for her
that never waned. In after years they were
much together and it was supposed they
would be married, Beall being an old bache-
Tor and rich, worth at least half million
dollars. 1t seems, however, that he regarded
her as a ward or daughter, and when he
died and his will was opened a few days
ago, 1t was discovered that he had left ev-
erything to her, not much as mentioning
his numerous relatives. They announce an
intention of fighting the will, but they will
have a hard time breaking it, so it is
claimed, as Beall was VIGOROUSLY of sound
mind up to the hour of his death. His estate
is mostly in gilt-edged securities.
The Browns lived at the Bates House in
this city for many years. Mrs. Brown was
a strikingly handsome woman and although
now nearly fifty years of age and gray
haired, retains much of her good looks
Mary Brown is said to be a beautiful young
woman, of the brunette type. She was very
young when she left indianapolis

ELECTRIC LIGHT OF ITS OWN.
state Agricultural Board Let's Con-
tract for N Plant.

The State Board of Agriculture yester-
day closed contract for the lighting of
the fair grounds. The hoard has de-
cided to erect its own plant and
be independent of the local compa-
MES. To this end the Atlas Engine Com
pany was authorized to put in a high speed
engine, with boilers TO match, while the
Jenney Electric Company was given the
contract for dynamo capable of supplying
power for 27S incandescent and twelve are
lights. The incandescents will be placed
around through the grounds wherever need
ed. while the arc lights will be used for the
approaches at the main driveway the Mo-
non Railroad platform and the grand stand.
While neither the board members nor the
electric company are certain that this equip
ment will furnish enough light, it will be
put up and tested, and If more is needed
Il will be added.

as TO EVANSVILLE HOSPITAL
State Charities Board Finds the
Charges GrOundIess.

Charges of nepotism, and that woman
who was an inmate of the Southern Hospi-
tai for the Insane, at Evansville, was nurs-
ing a child, have been investigated by the
State Board of Charities and Correction.
Secretary Butler. after returning from the
investigation yesterday, said there was
nothing in the charge of nepotism. The 9TH
er charge was found to be equally ground
less. Before being sent to the hospital the
mother was, for a. long time an inmate of
the county infirmary, from which she was
frequently absent in the company of male
companions. The child was born few
weeks after her admission to the hospital
and there was absolutely nothing to reflect
on the management of the institution. Moth
ing whatever to criticise was found by the
state board.
