Won Earl'S Heart.

A very pretty romance surrounds the
wedding Of Earl w. Henning, Of Mas

Transport, which was celebrated In the
latter city Saturday afternoon. A dis.
patch from Williamsport says:
Mr.. Henning is wealthy manufac'
turer. Last fall he visited Williams
port, and was guest at the City hotel
There Miss Fisher was employed as a
dining room girl. While meal was
being served Miss Fisher accidentally
overturned glass of milk, and por.
ton of the contents bespattered the
clothing of the stranger.
Miss Fisher was greatly embarrass-
ed, but apologized in such a graceful
manner that the heart of the manufac-
turer was pierced by Cupid's arrow.
Within few days the pair were good
friends. After Mr.. Henning went west
correspondence was maintained be.
tween him and Miss Fisher.
On Friday Mr.. Henning came to VIII.
Transport again, and the wedding was
hastily arranged. Miss Fisher is an
orphan, and is exceedingly pretty.

ESTATE
Involved In tho Alleged
Dayton Forgery.
HEIRS ARE WORKING
To Obtain Possession Of For
tune Which May After
ell, be q Myth
Mast's Part.

The News-Democrat Thursday print
ed a special from Dayton relating to a
gigantic forgery, which is alleged to
have been committed by George w.
Thatcher, q real estate man Of that
city. The story of the supposed crime
is interesting to people In this vicinity
inasmuch as 1t relates to the vast for
tune which the Mercer heirs have been
endeavoring to recover. Persons claim.
ing to be heirs reside in East Liverpool,
Grant District, w. Va, and Beaver
county, Pa. Referring to the estate, in
connection with the case, a special
from Dayton says:
The intended victims were the heirs
of the Peter p. Mast estate, which Is
appraised at $1,200,00O. Peter Mast
was before his death one of the largest
and wealthiest implement manufactur.
ers in this part of the country. In 1885
mysterious woman called on Mast
and said she was an heir to a big for
tune known as the Mercer estate and
that Mrs. Mast was also an heir to the
same estate, which, according to an
eastern claim agent, was located in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, England
Ireland and New York, and valued at
5000 900 900.
Mast engaged legal talent to search
for the estate and later learned 1t was
a myth. The mysterious woman dis
appeared and was never seen again.
After Mast's death, II is alleged
Thatcher presented three notes to the
executors of the estate, two for s133.-
900 each and one for $4,000. He al
legged that he secured evidence for
Mast while the latter was alive rela.
tive to the estate and that Mast closed
up the estate, which was supposed to
be worth 5000 ,000, 900 for $750,000.
A staff correspondent writing from
Columbus says:
It Is related that before the death
OF Peter Mast the Mercer heirs met and
mapped out a plan to secure posses
sion of the estate. Mast was selected
as the representative and given certain
instructions, which. 1t is alleged, he
failed to regard. AS the story goes he
went abroad to investigate the portion
of the estate located there, and for q
time his reports to the heirs of his re-
searches were so roseate that many
were, led to believe the big fortune was
all but within their grasp. Finally the
reports ceased to come entirely and
the heirs became uneasy.They demand
ed of Mast the reason of his silence,
but got small satisfaction. 1t became
noised about that pressure of some
sort had been brought to bear to ac-
complish the abandonment of the move.
ment, but the actual proof to substan.
tiate this conclusion could not be OBJ
tanned. The heirs have made little
headway but now are raising funds to
make another effort to get control of
what they believe rightfully belongs to
them.

accepted by wire, and as the formal

that the fine impression made by the

strumental in getting the band this
present engagement.
