Disposition of Large Fortune De-
pends On Date of Death of Ger
tain Insane Man.

Disposition OF an estate Involving
large fortune depends upon the date of
death of Arthur Beckwith, an artist who
belonged to a prominent family in
New York city. He disappeared from the
Sanford Hall asylum at Flushing. l., l..
in 1894, and never has been heard of
since. The controversy also involves
the estate of Leonard Forbes Beckwfth,
his brother, at one time chief engineer
of the subway commission. Both men
were declared to be incompetent and
left large property interests. Both in
herited estates Of about half a million
dollars from their father. Leonard died
intestate in 1895.
According to the administrators Of
the estate, Arthur Beckwith escaped in
1850 from an asylum at Litchfeld,
Conn.,, and was two years later discov-
cred in Havana, Cuba, living in squalor.
He was in 1893 placed in the Sanford
Hall asylum at Flushing. He again es-
capped. In January, 1902, he was de-
clared legally dead. 1t is now sought
to have his death placed before that OF
Leonard in which case the latter's
heirs will get most of both fortunes.

who gave the police the story, the old
man committed suicide Earl ad-
mitted having advised his father to
kill the couple and at the time was
arrested as an accessory, but was al
lowed to go, public sentiment general
ly being in his favor. ~..H
An insurance company, however,
being liable for $4,000 insurance which
the elder Ellsworth carried, decided
to investigate.
The talk which young Ellsworth
had with the detectives and which was
overheard by witnesses secreted in an
adjacent room, is said to have cleared
Ellsworths mother of the charge of
faithlessness and to have left open to
doubt the statement that the senior
Ellsworth killed himself. It is said
there was conspiracy to obtain the
insurance money, Earl Ellsworth and
two prominent citizens of Woodstock
being involved, and the statement that
the killing of Anderson and Mrs. Ellis
worth was by the older Ellsworth is
laid open to question.

WORST FLOOD IN ITS HISTORY
Large Portion Of Burlington, N. J. Un.
der Water

Burlington, N. j., Oct. 12.-This
town is suffering from the worst flood
IN its history, approximately four
hfths OF the place being under water,
caused by the tremendous flood in the
Delaware river. The highest point of
the town is only three feet above the
hood in some of the streets, and as
the river is still rising it is feared the
situation will become more serious.
The southern section of the town is
Hooded to a depth of from two to six
feet and much of the surrounding coun-
try is also under water. In East
burlington, it is estimated that 80 per
cent of the houses are inundated.

service between this city and Camden
and Gloucester was suspended. The
cellars OF MOST of the business houses
on Delawere avenue in the flooded dis
trict were filled with water and goods
valued at many thousands of dollars
were either entirely ruined or dam
aged. The water in the avenue reced-
ed with the tide, but it is feared that
the next high tide will send the water
up into the thoroughfare again, as the
river is still far above normal.
