CHRISTENING GUESTS
BATTLE In Blazing
HOUSE; IL INJURED
POLICE HAVE TO FIGHT WAY INTO
DWELLING AND CLUB BRAWL-
Frs INTO SUBMISSION.

ERS INTO StBMISSlON.
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 16.-Twelv,
persons were painfully injured las
night during a brawl that followed the
christening of a baby in tenemen
house on Lombard street, above Sec
ond. A detail of 20 police from the
Third district were required to que'l
the disorder that threatened for 9
time to result in race riot among the
residents of the neighborhood. After
order had been restored II men and
women guests at the christening were
sent to the Pennsylvania hospital tC
have their broken heads and bruised
bodies treated. They were later lock
ed up in the Third district station
house, and will have a hearing to-
morrow.
Several days ago John Cohenska
who lives in the Lombard street house,
sent thirty invitations to friends in
this city and Chester, to attend the
christening of his 2-weeks-old baby
All those invited accepted and were
enjoying themselves when, according
to the police, one of the guests insult
ed Mrs. Cohenska.
Instantly there was a free for all
fight, which started in the kitchen
O. the house, but soon spread to every
room in the tenement and in the back
yard. Bottles, dishes anG knives were
used by the combatants, while one of
the guests threw lamp at the MAJ
said to have been responsible for
brawl. The oil exploded and set fire
to the room.
Policeman Ragan, OF the Third dis
trict, heard the screams of the Draw
lers and was about to enter the house
when he was struck on the head by a
bottle that had been thrown through a
window. A few minutes later scor:
of policemen arrived and rought their
way into the house. Nearly score @!
the guests escaped through open win
dows and the rear door, while others
showed fight and refused to accompa.
ny the policemen.
The blue coats drew their clubs, and
after a short fight succeeded in plac
ing the u occupants of the house un-
der arrest. Mrs. Cohenska was found
in the rear yard, unconscious, VIII e
her husband was discovered in the
parlor, bleeding from several wounds
The Cohenska baby was asleep in its
"go-cart," all unconscious of the trou
BILE. Policemen Klaw and James were
slightly hurt when they fell down tht
cellar stairs while in pursuit of one
of the combatants.
None of those arrested had escaped
injury and the entire number were
lacked into the patrol wagon and tax
ell to the Pennsylvania hospital fl
treatment. A fire caused by the ex
pioding of the lamp thrown by one o
the party followed the ejectment of thu
men and women from the house. TIT
blaze was extinguished by the polio
with small loss.
Cohenska says the next christenln'
! in his home will be accomplished with
out such an elaborate ceremony as wa
planned in this instance.

GE0RGIANS FAIL TO LOCATE
FORTUNE LEFT IN ENGLAND
Disappointed Wh,n Case is
Investigated


vestigated the rumor of large fortune
supposed to have been left prominent
families of Dodge and Telfair counties
in the Bank of England Col B. r
Calhoun, the attorney engaged for that
purpose, has returned to America, and
reports that there was no such sum
left in the bank. Rather there had
been at one time, years ago, but Mrs
Elizabeth Balm, mother of the sous
who came to America, from whom the
fs miles in Georgia are descended, be-
queathed the big fortune to her young
est son, who never left the old coun-
try, and to one of the sons who was
supposed never to have gone back to
England.
The Telfair and Dodge families,
therefore. find that the tradition run
ming back generations through thei:
family have all come to naught
Col Calhoun speaks of his investi-
cation as follows:
1T is remembered that tradition il
the families of my clients was to tht
effect that more than a hundred years
ago, Hugh and Alexander Balm, two
young Englishmen came to this coull-
try very much against the will of their
mother, Elizabeth Balm, who was lett
behind them, and that she tried in vain
to induce them to go back home. AS
final argument she wrote them that
she had placed in the Bank Of England
jolly lump of gold, say several hui
dred thousand dollars for them, and
that she expected that to bring them
back to her some day. but notwith-
standing this, they remained in Amer
lea.
Hugh Balm lived and died in North
Carolina, having reared family IF
which the grandmother of my clients
was the only daughter. Alexander, 60
ing to Louisiana, then to Mississippi
and finally to Cuba, pursuing his
business of cultivating sugar cane by
the use of his negro slaves at al
these places, finally disposed of his
business and, on his way back to
England, was shipwrecked and drown
ed at sea and that he left no direct
heirs. His brother Hugh's children
we're the sole heirs of his fortune,
which was supposed to be great, an
that they were also the only heirs OF
the estate of their grandmother, Eliz-
abeth Balm, according to their info
nation.
my employment as attorney called
for an investigation of both estates
So, in company with my son, Earl G
Calhoun, of New York City, I proceed

a month digging into the musty oid

vigilant search for these supposed rich
es, and were rewarded by finding tha'
they had been there in generous guam
