Patrick Martin Dead.

After having been afflicted with Illness
for two years, Patrick Martin died on
Thursday, at his home in Bordentown.
He was SO years old, and one Of the best
known men in this county. His estate
which is of considerable value, consists
chiefly of property in Trenton and Borden
town. He conducted the ice business q
long time, and few years ago retired,
after having amassed competency.
Mr.. Martin left a widow and seven
children, the latter being Mrs. John Kins-
ley, of Trenton: Miss Annie, Miss Maria,
Daniel, Thomas, William and John Mar
tin.
About eighteen years ago Mr.. Martin
was the victim of clever swindle, and
lost more than $1,000 by it. His brother
came from Ireland when he was youth
and settled in the west. A stranger came
came to Mr.. Martins home one day and
introduced himself as his nephew. He
remained few days and said he would
have to go to Philadelphia TO see about a
business deal, by which he would make
thousands of dollars. MIR. Martin became
interested in the enterprise and learned
that some Indians from the west had
several gold bricks to sell Tor less than
half their actual value.
Mr.. Martin expressed desire to pur-
chase some:of the gold, and meeting be-
tween the Indians and himself was arrang-
ed. He went to the woods near the
asylum and met the alleged Indians.
Two samples were bored from the bricks,
and Mr.. Martin took them to Bordentown,
and had them assayed. They were found
to be gold He went to the bank, drew
IS 900. which he handed over, and brought
his treasure back.
The nephew" disappeared a few hours
later. The Indians" disappeared, and
Mr.. Martin became suspicious. Investi
CATION showed the bricks to be Of brass.
save for little spot where the samples
had been drilled out.
One of the bricks is now In the posses
sion of B. G. Kuser and the other is used
to hold the door open in Mr.. Martins
home.
