PRINTERS GRIM HUMOR.
LEAVES MYTHICAL FORTUNE TO RE-
LATIVEs WHO NEGLECTED HIM.

Jesse Burrlght, an old printer who
died in Des Moines recently, had q
sense of humor that did not leave him
even when on his deathbed. although
his last manifestation of that trait
was of a grim kind.
For years be had not been in com
muntcation with bis relatives, although
be had several sisters and brother
residing in California and another In
Ohio. When Burright was taken i'll OF
typhoid fever about six weeks ago be
notified his elatives-brothers, sisters,
nieces and nephews-of the fast. and
not one of them responded to bis appeal
for aiG. Friends in Des Moines took
charge of the case and helped to bear
bis expenses. They also paid the ex-
penses of the funeral.
Shortly before Burright died he sent
out a second circular to his unrespond
ing relatives. 1t was simply printed
copy of will purported to have been
drawn by attorneys and carrying the
news that he had died. Burright in
this will disposed of about $25, 900 In
cash. He left bis brothers and sisters
each S. 900, and to his other relatives
he distributed cash and real estate as
if be were a millionaire.
Then there was hurrying OF distant
relatives to the bedside of the dying
man. He was too ill to see them when
they arrived, and he died without
disclosing the location Of his wealth.
Quarrels soon arose among the gath
cred relatives, and an attempt was
made by some of them TO break the
will. The brothers and sisters insist
ed that they were entitled to the entire
estate and then threatened legal pro-
ceedlngs among themselves as to the
disposition of the property. Two of
the brothers engaged attorneys and
were preparing for an attack upon the
will on the ground that the deceased
brother was insane and that the en-
tire estate should go to them. The
lawyers began an investigation by
starting in to find where their fee was
to come from. And they made a dis
covery.

THE VIRGINIAN RAILWAY.


The Virginian Railway will be built
according to original plans, and will be
in operation between Deepwater, W.
Va. and Sewell's Point by April or
May of next year. the time originally
named" This was the prompt and
UNQUALIFIED declaration of Maj. W. N.
Page of Ansted, who has been Identified
with the enterprise from its inception
as engineer and president of the tenn
porary organizations in West Virginia
and Virginia-the Deepwater and the
Tidewater Railroad companies-and
who is unquestionably as closely in
touch with the plans of II. II. Rogers,
long known to be the chief hacker of
the enterprise, as any man in the
country.
Major Page had been asked about
the foundations for the reports printed
in some of the Eastern newspapers to
the effect that recent difficulties ID
marketing securities and obtaining
money for obstruction purposes had
seriously embarrassed Mr.. Rogers and
that even now the completion of the
road was regarded as prOblematical.
In answer to this Major Page said:
"Iknow nothing about these matters
other than what have seen III the
newspapers. 1 regard it simply as
newspaper talk. We are going right
ahead with the construction of the
road. We have 290 out of the 443
miles laid with track, the work OF con
struction is proceeding without delay,
and the whole line from Deepwater to
tidewater will be finished by April or
May of next year.
