NORWICH TAILOR ESTBLIsHES
 CLAIM TO s25,ooo LEGACY
Solomon Leon Benefits by Death of
 Rich Old Man.

Solomon Leon, the ladies' tailor in the May building, who posted off to New York early this week in a hurry when he received a letter from a New York lawyer that he was heir to $25,- 900, has returned. He said Thursday that his good fortune seemed sure thing now, although he could hardly believe it, and he thought he should receive his money in about six months. He had established his identity to the satisfaction of the New York lawyer, who had received word of the bequest from an attorney in the old world. MT. Leon remarked that it hardly seemed possible that he was to receive such sum of money as he could not hope to make in the tailoring business in a whole lifetime.
 The legacy comes from an uncle in Austria, who made a large fortune as owner of a cloth mill. In his life time he had been close listed, but when he was taken sick and feared that he was going to die. he had begun to give away his money to his nephews and nieces, of whom there are several in the old country. As Mir. Leon was over here, the money for him was left in the will. His uncle was over so when he died
