Hvere.t Ma. his TroubIes.

Frank f. Everest, the well known real
estate man and former city assessor, was
able yesterday to testify to the truth OF
the ancient adage that misfoTtunes never
come singly.
Wednesday evening Mrs Everest while
out driving with her 1h-year-old babe and
Miss Carrie spooner, was thrown out Of the
buggy and suffered a severely wrenched
back. Miss Spooner, who was holding the
baby. was severely bruised, but the child
escaped injury. In some manner the lines
became entangled in the wheels. the horse
became frightened and the buggy was
tipped over, throwing the occupants into
the street.
About O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..
Everest, who lives on Glen avenue, arose
to give his wife some medicine. Looking
for his watch he was surprised to discover
that IL was not on the bureau where he
had placed it before retiring Investigation
showed the remains OF a number OF burned
matches on the floor and the discovery that
his clothes we're also scattered about the
floor with the pockets inside out caused
Mr.. Everest to realize that he had been
robbed while asleep. Nelghbors had noticed
some person striking matches in different
parts of the house, but supposing It WAS
some member of the household, had not
given the subject any more thought.
Besides the watch, which was valuable
gold one, the thief secured a small sum Of
money from Mr.. Everest's clothes. None
of the silverware i'm the dining room was
| touched. II is thought the thief entered
the house through one Of the screened
windows which had been left open on the
lower floor.

his widow and five children in absolute poverty for
ten years because of his retcence concerning brk

his scanty earnings laid aside what he could to sup

nothing but taking in washing for the widow with
her children, and fo- ten years she toiled.
In New York the clerks going old
accounts in certain savings bank. Among others
was that of William Heron. They were sure he
was dead, but there had been claimant for his
money, and SO they looked up other people by the
name of Heron. Among them the of

They felt she the widow of William Heron,
so they sent for her and obtained the necessary
proof. The next step administration papers.
These were arranged by the bank, which in the
