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.

clese and exciting and the sport was highly
enjoyed by the sjicctaters. There are many
people who think that bicycle riding la
only siwrt for boys nnd dudes, but if they

He Is Kicked by William lliirkmun uud
Seriously Injured.
William Burkmau, living at the coiuer
of Seuth Queen nnd Chinch streets, has
been prosecuted licfore Alderman Hal
bach for assault und battery by Stephen J.
DltliiH, nnd If the facts are as alleged the
assault wus a cniel and cowardly one.
Mr. Dlttui' son Is u cripple, about 7 years
old. Burly last evening Burkmau, who
was riding a bicycle, left It stand In front
of his house and a number of boys, among
them young Dittus, were examining It.
When Burkmau came out of his house all
the boys ran nwny from the machine ex
cept Dittus, who was unable te run. Hurk
iiiau became very angry when he saw the
boys at his machlue and voided his auger
en the crippled boy by kicking him. 'J he
boy, almost unconscious from the effects of
the kick, was carried te his home en Mid

He saw two men ahead of him en thorend,

covered htm with their revolvers nnd de
manded his money. He wns powerless te
resist, nnd w hlle the ene kept lilm covered
with his revolver, the ether went through

they started te pay out the $000,000 ill

no tlme was lest lu getting down te work.
More than 200 persons were in waiting
ready te receive their money, but the
growling nnd grumbling done among the
crowd when they received the amounts
they were te get was slutpl v terrlble.

Chns, U Dick, who lias been at work
ever since tlie Heed, suld he did net wnnt
any money, nnd also stuted that he nnd
another lawyer had mutually agreed net
te take tlie oath which is required of appli

Is entitled te the sum of fse, the same being

by the beard of Inquiry nnd npproved by

When Mr. Dick received the above he
held It, up te the gaze of every one, and
uttered seme sentences which would leek

Mr. Dick says, lest two linn properties anil
Is new worth nothing but the lets. He wns
also awarded S0.
Only the poorest of the people were en

enn tmsslbly subsist without taking the
oath required will refuse te swear. Women
who are weak with sickness ure waiting a
chance te get n little money, If ever se llttle
Is coming. Heme nre lu tern dresses nud
some without shoes. Others nre earning
children In their arms, and the squalling
of the yeungters makes things lively Ter

Treasurer Thompson says things ure
moving along In a very saftsfticterv milli

shortly. Judge Cummin nsked Mr.
Thompson te suppress the names of cer

caueo they wero ence well oft' nnd did net

The conference with the Indians at the
Choyenne river agency In Dakota readied
u clfiiuix en Thursday, White Swan had
million hitler speech en Wedtiesdny com
plaining that the Peucas uud the Saiitces
would unjustly profit by the proposed sjiIe
of lands, also that Indians could net tn!.e
Iho hind lu severalty uud make n Wvnig en
it. as crops were se frriusmry a failure.

Crew ICngle, Llttle Ne Henri, Battling

senting the four bauds at the agency also
spoke, lu the sumo strain.
General (.'reek reminded the IndlansFjhat
they have net been cheated lu the Ikuck
Hills pin chase. It took two dollars topro tepro topre
duco every dollar's worth of ere taken out
of these hills, nud there was a great
umeiint of worthless ground. By the
present bill the Indians were getting meiu
than the laud was worth. The Indians, he
stated, hud actually received much mero
than was premised uudorthe treatyef I8iW.
He warned the Indians Hint they would
certainly never get a better offer than the
present. Instead of complaining of the
past, they hud butler think of the future.
OuThtiisduy the Indluns begun te tnlk
again Iu the san hi way with the evident
design of wasting time. General Creek
finally stepped further discussion by send
ing for the rolls, uud Invited such Indians
ns w ished te sign te de se.
Chasing Crew- stepped forward nud said
Ihul he was In favor ofthe bill and toadied
the pen. This wus the slgunl for nu uugiy
outburst from the Cheiry Cifek band, who
began te crowd around the tahle whero the
roils were spread out. Twe painted Indians
sorting te Iho front, ene brandishing u large
club uud thieulciied te brain anyone who
signed.
General Creek sfoed near with hand en
u heavy chair, prcpurcd te knock the In
dian ut the first hostile demonstration,
w hen the latter was arrested by the police
und hurried out of the pavilion.
Generut Creek spoke forcibly fern few
moments, uud guve them te understand
that he would stand no nonsense, und If
the Indian p 11 e could net pre'u t these
who chose te sign he would bring men
there who could.
This tllHtlvely silenced the disturbance.
The imllcn prevented Iho ciewds from
pressing around the signing Indians and
eK)iied a large lane for thorn through the
hostile faction. Signatures were taken
repidly for aii hour nnd nre cwiitlnulng
