On the 17th of June the following notice appeared In the lNTKM.iai-.NCKn : lMr.R. On (he lfltli InM.. at New Yerk city, Jehn A. Itiicr, formerly of Ijuicaster, Pu. Netice of funcrnl hereafter. Thore van no notice of the funeral w hlch oek place quletly en the nineteenth, in Weed wnrd Hill eonietcry. By longnbsence from his old home Mr. Jehn Baer had dropped out of public' memory nnd the death attracted llttle notice. Jehn A. Baer left Ijinenster nbent thirteen year age and since then but llttle has been heard of him and no ene drowned that he would dle In apparent poverty but real wealth as new proves te lmve been tiie cae. The fdnry Is told In the New Yerk Ntnr and lnei, and we print the murenccurate and graphic account of the latter journal : Net many men who ledge In the Howery are burdeucd with a package containing $24,f00 In bank notes. Hut there was n Bowery hermit, a morbid man, with the . migeriy Instinct dovelnped te a high do de do grce, who for a decade or mero led a wretched oxlstenoo and all the while kept within reach a parcel deuuup In brown wrapping paper which contained the Mini named In geed American rurreney. Just before hisdeath hoteok lutehis eoutldence a lodging heiiHe ft lend, a chance acquaint ance, and Intrusted him with the piecieus package. The oxecuter was equal te the trust. Yesteidny he had the satisfaction of a clear conscience and a substantial bank account as the result of his honesty. The will of the miser was admitted te probate, the iiioney was equally divided between the brothers of the deceased, and the oxecuter net only get his regular fees hut received a substantial gift for his services from the heirs. In the Bowery the hermit was only known as Leenard fee. His true name was Jehn A. Baer. Fer twelve or fif.een years his tlme was generally passed In the New Hngland hotel, a cheap lodging heuse. He was slovenly in his dress and socretlvo inhabit. He was prematurely old when he joined the Hew ery brigade, anil he had a Hip Van Winkle aspect when he died. There was a mystery about him which no ene could solve, though many had curi osity enough te try their level best. He hud many peculiarities, yet no ene ever called him insane. He hIwu.vs (mid hiH beard bill promptly and brought the exact amount te the olllce of the hotel. He was never known te de nnyweik, audit was always u mystery where he get his means. He generally carried pennies and he had a tiamp-like way of wandering along the streets and picking up odds and ends. These he cairled te his room at the hotel and stored away, until, when Ids f.ital illness caine and lie lemoved te the hospital, the apaitincnt looked like a cu riosity shop. Theio was a literary bent te the old man's mind. He was an omniveroiiH reader, but his tastu did net run In any sprclnl line, llu read anything and every thing that he could tlnd. He was ever clipping extracls, and these weie carefully treasured and formed a large part of the odd collection in his loom. Fer days at a stretch he would remain in the hotel, ab sorbed in his leading. Coe was net a glut-, ten. His diet was largely vogetarlan. Once in a while he would pay a visit te some icstauraut in the Bowery, but 15 or 20cents was the mysterious miser's limit. Ne ene ever saw him enter a tailor's or a ready-made clothing store, and his cloth lug was always composed of mero patches than original fabric Ne mutter wheie he was the In own paper parcel was In his hand, en his lap, or under his arm. In his room it w as sometimes en the bed or under It, but always within lauge of his eye. New and then the hermit would he in n pleasant mood while loung ing about the hotel efllce, and then he could be made te talk. Intelligent men who talked with Coe found him well In formed en almost every subject, particu larly the law and medicine. Notaweid, however, did he utter about his past. If Coe had a hobby beyend disproving the truth of the saying that " none but the wealthy enjoy this life," It was his anti pathy te the fair rex. Tobesuro, he pos sessed no charms, but even If he had been neat and natty suseeptible women would have teund no encouragement. His heart was of stone. Theie aie iceollectlens of many bitter and oleqiiont speeches by Cee showing him te hae been a pronounced woman hater. What produced this feeling In the old man's hieast Is a matter of con jecture, as even his relatives dcclaie he was always an enigma te them. Never did Cee, se fui us known here, utter a kind word about women, uud little childieu made no Impression en him. He was net u humuultaiiau ti. any sense, and charity was an unknown factor In his composition. Durirg Coe's resldence at the New Fng land hotel, n eeni'varntivcly short time before his death, he beeame friendly with Jehn A. Mailer, who also ledged in the house. He used te practice medicine uuer the eclectic school in another state, hut since coming te New Yeik has been en gaged In various commercial pursuits. Ilu is new doing a commission business. Halter took a fancy te old Cee, uud they get along .together without jarring. Hut It was a long tlme before the hernilt un un un boeomed hlm-elf. He was taken ill in April mid felt se had that he feared his end was diawiug near, Cee intrusted tht) blown in per Jiarcel te his friend and adjured hiiu net te open it until gl en x-ruilssieu. He did net explain what lliu package contained, but Haller premised te guard It religiously. This he did while the miser was In the hospital, fee, although he wus sixty-four years old, recovered fiem the attack and returned te his haunts, the package was restored, and alter that he mauifustcd his appreciation of nailer's kindness in vnri oils ways. Still, he did net unseal his lips en the past, and remained as much of a curiosity te Haller until the early part of June. Then, being taken 111 again, uud fearing It was his last sickness, Cee sum moned his friend and made an apeal. He told Haller that death was near uud he w ished te make a dying request. "My name," lie said, "is net Cee, but Jehn A. Baer, and I have two brothers iu Lane-aster, Perm., who dem't knew where 283. I am, and, what Is mere, t guess they don't care. I wnnt you te le my oxecuter and when T am dead te tnke charge of my es es tate nnd communlcate with them." Haller was astonished and inclined te doubt the man' sanity. He didn't think the estate would be a burden te him and laughed nt the Idea of being asked te beceme liner's executer. Bner ngaln placed the brown paper parcel In his hands and told him that It must be held for his brothers. Its contents were of value, but It should net be opened until after he was dead. Bner did net tell Haller what was in the pack age nnd he supposed the contents were papers, possibly deeds and bends. On June 15, n, few days after Baer was admitted te Bcllevue hospital, he dictated an instrument In writing, his last wilt and testameut and signed it. It was written en half a slice t et note paper, and merely stated that he appointed Haller his .sole executer, nnd that he was te be paid for friendly services out of the estate. The form and value of the estate were net mentioned, but It was provided that it was te be equally divided bctween the legiti mate heirs, the testator's two brothers, Christian and Beuben. The miner's pre monition of death was vcrlllcd the next day, June 10. Hallerebeyed Instructions te the letter. When Informed of Bner's death he opened the mysterious parcel and found that it contained (24,500 in bills. They were in geed condition, but had evidently been hoarded a long tlme. Haller admits that his emotions were conflicting when he found himself the jiosscsser of se much money. What te de with It was, however, the absorbing question. He was fearful that sonie ene would dis cover him with it and that he might be suspected of dishonesty. Finally he made up his mind te deposit it with n trust ceniny and lest no time in doing se. Then he felt better. Next he sought the lawelllce of Tittus eV Bowling, iu the Stewart building, and told his story. The firm had a professional interest iu the fa mous Paine will case, and the members were at once struck with the similarity of the Baer case. The story was discussed In all ltsjiea rings, and the ontceino was that Haller retained the firm te take the neces sary proceedings for the prebata of the will. Telegrams were spnt te the Lancaster (Benn.) addresses given by Baer, and re plies were duly received. The body was ordered shipped te that place for burial. After the funeral the Baer brothers came te this city, and en learning of the estate left for them by u brother long supposed te be In an unknown grave, notified their personal counsel, William V. Hensel, ox ex ox ehalnnanef the Pennsylvania Democratic state committee. He came te the city te render such serv ice as he could. The will was duly filed for piobate, and, no pretest being made, It was formally admitted yesterday. It has been learned that the hermit was a Pennsylvania Dutchman. He had every advantage, iu youth te become, n useful citiren. It Is said that he was a student at Yale and studied medicine mid read law, but finally joined his brothers lu the pub lishing business. Almest a score of years age he drew out of the prosperous business and, taking his share of the money, disii) -pea red. A HANKKlt VIOTl.MIZr.il. I te I.oseh $1,00(1 By the Old Geld Hrluk Swindle.
