LONG LOST BROTHER APPEARS

AND CLAIMS THE ESTATE OF THE
LATE FATHER WRIGHT, OF ME-
Ola.
Media, July 14.-A strange and pecu-
liar circumstance has arisen since the
death of the late Rev. Henry J. Wright,
pastor of the Media Roman Catholic
Church for over thirty years. Father
Wright left a WILL making distribu-
tion of some 5000 worth of property.
but did not attach his name to the
document Il was supposed by his
friends here that Father Wright's only
living relative when he died was
Henry Bascombe, a cousin residing in
Philadelphia, a retired actor.
Father Wright had often spoken of
a brother but he was supposed to be
dead. 1t turns out now that the bro
ther is not dead, and he has presented
himself here as an heir to the dead
clergyman's estate. His name is Ed
win " Wright.
Edwin Wright says that he entered
the United States Navy in 1855 and
was in the service nearly forty years.
When he enlisted his brother was a
drug clerk in a Philadelphia store.
There was very little communication
between us" he said, after / entered
the navy, and / did not even know that
my brother had entered the priesthood
until after his death saw the ac-
count in the newspapers some weeks
ago of the death Of Father Wright of
Media. | noticed the name was SINH
lar to my own, but it never occurred
to me that he was my brother until
saw that the property he left through
the unsigned will would likely so to
his nearest relative, Harry Bascom5e.
of Philadelphia. Harry Bascombe, Of
course, being a cousin Of mine, led ne
to make an investigation.

Some time ago Happy Jack had
occasion to take a trolley ride in phila-

A DOMESTIC DEADLOCK.

By setting the example at Dover J.
Edward Addicks has much to answer
for. There is a deadlock on the West
Side. While not of political character
il is as grim and determined in its
nature as it can possibly be. The home
of q young couple has been blessed by
the advent of boy baby, which, II the
information received by the Wayfarer
is correct, is the picture OF health. II
is several weeks old. but thus far has
no name. That is where the deadlock
comes in. The names submitted by the
father are turned down by the mother,
and those suggested by the mother are
rejected with derision by the father.
The father wanted to call IL Dewey, but
the mother declared that in twenty
years the penitentiaries would be full
OF Dewey babies. Then the mother
suggested Hobson, but the father
would have none of II. He said that
if the Spanards had killed Hobson at
the mouth of Santiago har-
Dor instead of permitting him to kilt
himself at the mouth of American wo-
manhood by his osculatory practices,
he would have no objection, but that
under the circumstances he could not
consent The wife then expressed the
belief that Sampson would sound
right nice She Haunted a red flag in
her husbands face, for he is a Schley
partisan. He retaliated by suggesting
that the baby bo named Schley. The
mother d eclared that Schley said ITO
Ii with the Texas" and she could
not encourage the use of profanity.
Baby's father asked her how Alger
would do. She demurred on the ground
that the baby might want to become
butcher when he grew up. and the
embalmed beef scandal woulu operate
against him.
This is as FAR as the deadlock has
gone but it is still in full force and
effect and unless compromise is eff
fected on plain John or William there

So we proceeded without pausing to take breath, till the whole cargo was bestowed when the two se1v- ants took up their position in the block-house, and l, with all my power, sculled back to the Hispaniola.
 That we should have risked q second boat load seems more daring than it really was. They had the advantage of numbers, of course, but we had the advantage of arms. Not one of the men ashore had a musket, and before they could get within range for pistol-shoot- ing. we fiattered ourselves we could be able to give a good account of a half dozen at least.
 The squire was waiting for me at the stern window, all his faintness gone from him. He caught the painter and made it fast, and we fell to loading the boat for our very lives. Pork, powder and biscuit was the cargo, with only 9 musket and cutlass apiece for squire and me and Redruth and the captain. The rest of the arms and powder were dropped overheard in two fathoms and a half of water, so that we could see the bright steel shining far below us in the sun, on the clear, sandy bottom.
 By this time the tide was beginning to ebb, and the ship was swinging around to her anchor. Voices were heard hallooing in the direction of the two gigs; and though this reassured us for Joyce and Hunter, who were we'll tC the eastward, it warned our party tc be of.
