A young woman of this city attempted
te leave this world with the aid of a dese

Victeria Brubuker, and alie Is a pretty
young woman if she is foolish enough te
try te take her life. She cemes from
the lower part of the county, but
has been living in this city for some
years. She had been acting strangely of
late and was in the h:blt of p.iyiug almost
dally visits te the Lancaster cemetery. In
that burying ground lie the remains of a
nephew, who died two yeats age, aged
ten years. Te him the young lady was
very much attached and she seemed te
grlove greatly evor him. Oflen alie
would go te the grave, which is
located in the northeastern part of the
cemotery,aud cry t-e loudly that the family
of Soxten Samuel Foel, would hear her at
his house. On Friday afternoon Under
taker William Gable, of Seuth Queen
street, was surprised te roceive a uotice
from her, but wasastouitdedwhouiiercad
the contents. It stated that she was going
te commit Mtlclde, and he would Una her
body en the Brubakcr let, In the Lan
caster cemotery, about 4 o'clock. She
wanted him te liave the body iuterrcd and
inform her brother in New Yerk of her
act. When Gable received this he quickly
dnive te tlit1 cemetery. He summoned the
sexten and his son Edward, and asked
them where the let was. They did net
knew exactly, but a search was begun. At

graves en the let of a family named Flower.
She was net unconscious and the men

The politicians who heard the speech of
"Prosenatory" Jehn W. Mentzcr at the
meeting in the Yeung Republican club
room en Saturday, when Chairman An
drews and Candldate Beyor wcre here, are
talking about it yet. Jehn wanted te tell
the assemblage what the best methods of
getting out the vote were. He said thatln the
part el the county, (the none), where he
came from, the peeple are very ignorant,
and de net read the papers, or anything
else. What they wanted was inducement,
and Jehn laid gieat btrcss upon that word.
He said if home ene would just go and
w hlspcr in their cars, the vete would be as
large as In the intelligent districts. After
getting this oil' Jehn said, " Well, gentle
men, 1 don't want te say tee much." A
man in the rear of the room, who nmv
have bceu from the ignorant district, said,
"Jehn, you have said tee much already,"
and thou Jehn sat en his high int.
Chairman Andrew, whe'ls very unpop

Republicans here, uaid In his spoech
when he opened, that he hoped there
were no reporters of Democratic nous neus
papers in the room and that they
would net be allowed. E. K. Martin bald

any newspaper man of that. kind. He took
his stand at the deer and when the Demo

JACUII HEIG LEU'S BIO ESTATE.
Lancaster Ceuntlans Heirs te Nearly a
Millien Dellar Hoevers el thin
City Are Relatives.
A Washington dispatch, dated October
11, te the Philadelphia JYwj.says:
Mr. Jehn II. Wllmet, a claim agent of
this city, has within tbe past threo days
ceme into possession of information which
is of great Interest te a number of Penmryl
vaniaus residing In Lancaster county. The
Interest lies in the fact that a sum of money
estimated at $000,000 is at stake, and that
less than tweuty persons, the majority of
whom reside near Lancaster, will, if the
case is pusueu te a successful issue, oe me
sole benellclaries of the fortune. There is
quite a romance connected with the story,
according te the best information obtain ebtain ebtain
able at this time.
Over sixty years age a young Lancaster
county farm hand named Jacob Heigier
left bis home near Ulrd-ln-Hand te seek bis
fortune. With his departure vanUhed ev
ery trace of the man for ever forty years.
His parents died, his brothers auu sisters
married and reared families and in turn
died, until the most sanguine of his relations
gave up all hepe of ever knowing the Me
of the wanderer. It was some time in 1809
that u grizzled old fellow put in an appear
ance at the home of Miss Jane Bicrly,
near Blrd-ln-Hand, and introduced himself
as tier Uncle Jacob Helgler, the youth who
had disappeared forty years previously.
Heigier said that he was unmarried and
since bin departure from Lancaster county,
along about 1829, had been living in Cali
fornia. He was apparently in the most
prosperous circumstances. He spent
several months in the vicinity of his
form or home and then left for the Pacifle
slope. The treatment he received from
his immediate surviving relatives evidently
touched the heart of the old Ishmaollte,
and upon hia departura he declared em
phatically that when Ids will was read his
lricnds in Lancaster county would dis
cover that he had net forgotten thorn.
Anethor porled of years In which noth
ing whatever was heard of Jacob Helgler
ensued. In the meantime the family
name by sole process of transmutation
had beceme Hekllcr Instead of Helgler,
possibly for the sake of euphony.
Se me tlme during the early spring of 1889
there appeared in the Frets the account of
the death of a resldent of Seuthern Califor
nia named Jacob Heigier, at the advanced
age of 80 odd years. He had nover mar
ried, and his fortune, which was roughly
estimated at from (900,000 te $1,000,000 was
' lea te relatives somewhore in Pennsylva
nia. The item attracted the attention of a
few of the elder rosidents of Lancaster, who
bad a traditienary recollection of the rich
old Callfernlan. who was a native of that
county, but who had left it generations
before.
The matter came te the attention of Mr.
Wllmet through bis wife, whose grand
mother was a sister of Jacob Helgler. This
w as tevcral mouths age. Little attention
was paid te the matter by clther Mr. Wll Wll
eot or his wlfe until letters from various
southeastern Pcutibylvaiila relatives do de
cided them upon looking into the subject.
The result Is most interesting.
The nearest living klnspeonle of Jacob
Helgler, the dead California bachelor, are
Levi Hcldler. of Celumbia: Mrs. Nancy
Jehnsen, of Marlettn. and William Hcldler,
of Ceutralla, 111. All of theso people are
well advmiced in years. Mrs. Jehnsen is
perhaps the only living rclative who has
any distinct rocello'tion of old Jacob
Heigler's visit te his former home in 1809.
The ether kluspoenle, less than twenty in
number, all reside in Lancaster county,
with the oxecptieu of Mrs. Wllmet, of
this city.
Among the heirs, if the chain of evidence
mid relationship is sustained, are II. II.
Heisc, II. F. Helse and Sallndu Helse, of
Columbia; Levi Hcldler, of Columbia, and
Mr?. Jehnsen, of near Bird-In-Hand.
Harry Holdler, of Columbia, and William
Held ler, of Chestnut Hill, are also among
the list of grand-nophews of the old Call Call
eornlan. Thcre are three branches of the
Hcldler family who will be benefited by
the fortune. A family named Hoever resid
ing in Lancaster city is mentioned as being
among the helrs. There are a number of
persons named Helse and Heldler residing
in Yerk county, Pa., although It is claimed
that they are net lelativcs of Helgler,
whose money is new tbe point of lssue.
A Yerk county lawyer who had heard of
thocase tlueugh the Frcss made a propo prepo
sition te 11. II. Helse. of Columbia, te take
clmrge of tbe case and bring it te a success
ful Issue for the heirs for a percentage.
His offer was net aeeepled. Thcre are still
a number of ether things te be Mottled bo
lero the exact status of the affair can be
determined or the heirs numbered.
Mr. Wllmet is giving the matter his in
dividual attention, auu with great hopesof
success. Thotheeiy that he advances re
garding old Jacob Ilelgler's wealth is that
when he tlist emigrated te California he
took up what was ihen known asa Spanish
claim in the southern part of the state.
The Nubsoquent discovery of geld and the
rapid increase In population and prosperity
or the state made his original Investment
of great value, and this was the seurce of
his wealth.

THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE IKONIN MIRDER
CASE INTERRUPTED.
Chicago Papers of the Optulen That the
llocerds Have Been Stelen Alleged
. JuryOTtxera Promptly Arrested.
Urncvoe, Oct. 12. The local papers in in
dulgeln much speculation in the latest
mystery in the Crenln case, but the au
thorities seem te have succeeded in hoeping
te themselves tbe reason for the unex
pected adjournment of court yesterday,
and all Ute night sessien In the slate's at
torney's private office, whero a dozen per
sons brought In by officers were examined.
One piper prints a sensational story
about a stonegraphor formerly employed
by the state's attorney. It Is asserted that
at the beginning of tbe Crenln investiga
tion this man was rellevcd from duty
because he was related te and affiliated
with certain peeple said te belong te the
antt-Crenin party. The stenographer has
since, it is' claimed, been leading a
reckless life, aud new la suddenly
discovered te have disappeared from
the city. At the same ttme the state's at
torney discovered that a large portion of
evidence and all depositions in the Crenln
case had been adstracted from hi office,
hence the unusual excitcment yosterday.
It is asserted that last night's conferonco
and examination of mysterious witnesses
was for the purpose of rotaklngdepestttons.
The story is net corroborated, howevor,
except as te the particular that the stenog
rapher is missing.
The Tribune says: A startling rumor
was current lu the early hours this morn
ing that the ontlre official recerd of the
Crenin case had been stolen. Tbe recerd
includes a copy of the proceedings
before the corenor'a jury, the sworn
affidavits of wltnesses before the
grand Jury, the portions of hair,
bleed clots,cotton batting and ether tangible
evidences of the crime found In the catch
basin, the Carlsen cottage and the bloody
trunk. Anemployeofthostate'Hattorney's
office, who had full access te all valuable
pleces of evidence, is new missing and may
be In Canada. ,
Latciu It U learncd this aftorneou that
two court bailiffs, Albert Hanks and Mark
Solemon, are iu custody charged with In
terference with Justice in the selectien of
the Jury te try the prlsonera indicted for
Dr. Crenln's murder.
This te a great extent explains the extra
ordinary activity around the criminal court
building yesterday afternoon, and up te a
late hour last night. It is explalncd that
theso two bailiffs wcre supplied with
money by the late antl-Cretilu fac fac
tleu and that they gave this mouey te
certain Jurera and instructed thorn Jmt
hew they ;could .answer questions put te
thorn and socure heats in the Jury box.
This came te the ears of Judge Longon Lengon Longen
cckcr. He saw et ence that unlets
the jury -bribing was stepped Imme
diately the wliole case would tall through.
The ovldenco against the suspected bail
iffs was sifted ami their arrest followed.
Their indictment will fellow in ix few
hours.
Judge Morten has issued a vonire for a
special grand Jury te invcstlgalb the at
tempts at Jury fixing In connection with
the Crenin trial, and Jurers summoned ure
new assembling in the court room.
The Mustang Subdued the Bear.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says two Rus
sians with a dancing bear were encamped
near that city en Filday aftornoen. The
bear was freed from his muzzle and chain.
When the beast get an opportunity he
liugged ene of his masters. When the
ether man attemptcd te rcicue his com
panion he was drawn Inte the embrace of
Bruin, who did his best te eriieh the llle
out of thorn. Albert Dugan, aged 15, nstrlde
n mustang, heard the cries of the Itusslans
and proceeded te roscue them. He backed
the mustang against the bcar'e back and
urged his steed te use his hcels. Mr.
Mustangdld se, hurling moil and bear
upon a heap. The bear then sought te
devour the mustang. He approached the
klcker and was quickly sent te grass. The
Russians werolhen enabled te muzzle their
obstreporous ex-tor. The 'ey saved their
lives. They offercd him the bear, but he
declined tbe protfered gift.

A UHAStl'LV MfECTACLE.
A Crowd In New Yerk See Electricity
Kilt a Man.
A brlef telegram en Friday announced
the terrible death of a lineman lu New
Yerk that afternoon. The dead body par
tially lay and lNirtlally hung te a network
of wires stretching from a telegraph pole
fifty feet above the street. He was a West
ern Union lineman stung and shriveled te
death by the electricity in the wire he went
aloft te test.
There are ntne cress pieces en the tele-
Sraph pole. He liud thrown one leg ever
te fourth cress ploce and stretobed him him him
bolftenrrango the wlrea. His gaffed feet
were naturally raised ns he went at hie
work. One ro-sled upon a very thick wlre
aud the ether teuched a small wlre above.
In stretching forward either his chin or his
hand came In contact with a second thick
wlre. The current waa completed. In an
Instant the body stiffened. The hand was
raised and the whele form seemed te have
been cast in an Iren mould. There was no
movement. The man was dead In an in
stant. His leg remained ever the cress bar,
but his feet, chin and bands wero clevatcd,
as though he had suOered mortal agony.
In an Instant the flesh was but nod and
turned red. What seemed te be fungll
appeared upon his threat and upon his
wrists. Peer fellow t He bad net taken
his rubber gloves with htm, and the over
sight had led te bis death.
Fer half an hour the stiffened body re
mained In the netwerk nf wires. Crowds
poured from the entrane of the Brooklyn
brldge and from all the st roots. Fer flftoen
minutes tlie horse cars threaded their Wav
through the crowd. Then a cordon rif
police appeared and all travel was stepped.
The horrified multitude gazed at the Wh
in the net work of wires. The face anil
hands deepened into a lived hue.
The worst feature of this horrible scene
was te fellow. Upaladderatlast ascended
ene man with long mblier gleves and an
immense pair of shears. He picked his wav
carefully through the wlresuntll he reached
the fourth oressploce. Carefully he raised
his right hand aud savored'a wlre near the
dead man's face. As the wire foil the
crowd below scattered. In an iustaut
sparks of Are, followed by puff's of smoke,
flew from the dead man's nose and his
calcined wrists. A second wlre feUcurling
along Chambers stroet. A third wlre was
cut and flew te tbe northwest cerner of the
street, striking a policeman en his helmet
and doubling htm up with pain. The
fourth wire foil te the stroet.
Then tbe livid hand drop pod, the feet
resting upon aneuier wire. Anether snap
of the shears and the elovated head of the
cerpse fell limp and llfeless, exposing the
ghastly featurcs te theso en the east side
of Ccntre street. A secend assistant with
rubber gloves ascended. He carefully
avoided the wires and knotted n rope
around the dead man's body withthoethor
end around the crosu-plece. Carefully the
cerpse was lowered. It slid down the lad
der and the crowd was convulsed with
horror. A smell of burned llcsh porvaded
the air. The whele Mde of the man's face
was burned away, exposing the teeth. Ills
wrist was cut tn the bone, and tlie bleed
dripped from the face una wrist Inte his
thick hair and fell upon the heads of theso
below. Cerenor Shultz awaited tlie body,
which was curried Inte the ongliie heuse
near by.
After the preliminary examination the

A New Trial of the Case te be Asked
Fer Election Offivent Acquitted and
the County te Pay the Costs.
Friday Afternoon. Court roatsemblod
at 230 o'clock and the F-deu township
election case was called for trial. Tlie
defendants are U. Galen Barr, who was
the Republican Inspector, and Michael
Welmer, Republican, who wasludge. Tlie
charge against them was rejecting the vete
of Heward F. Alexander, a qualified el co ce ce
ter, and also for conspiring te defraud him
out or his vote.
lu the selection of Jurers the common
wealth exercised Its legal right, and steed
aslde nine jurors.
The prisoners were ronrcsentod bv B.
Frank iSshlemnn. K. K. Martin and 'fhes.
B. Helahan, and the commonwealth by
the district atlorney and W. U. Hcnsel.
In opening the case for the common cemmon commen
woalth Mr. Hansel said it was net a trivial
case, as had been said by the defendants'
couusel. He did net recall in his nxporl nxperl
ence any prosecution, befere this one, of
election officers for rejecting the ballet of a
?iullued voter. He had seen prosecutions
or illegal voting, false returns and ballet
box stuffing. If a ballet box Is stuffed, that
evil can be rotnedled; if a false return Is
made, it can be corrected, but If n vete of n
qualified elector Is rejocted. although the
destiny of a nation may uopend upon it,
there is no remedy. He next quoted the
act ei assembly unuer which me inuict inuict
ment was drawn, aud stated the pcualty a
tlne of net less than $50 or mero than $200.
He then recited Uie facts that would be
proven 'by the common wealth, and they
wero theso : Befere the tall election of 18SS,
in Eden township, Mlrhael Welmer as
Judge and GatenBarras luspecter,dlscussed
the qualifications of Alexander as a voter
and agroed te reject it, In advance of the
olectlou. They sent word te Alexander,
bidding him te stay away from the polls,as
he would get no vote.
It will be shown, said Mr. Ilensel, that
Alexander was a qualified voter, his name
assessed en the tax duplicate, that he paid
a tax te A. J. llarrar, collocter of tax in
Celcraln township. When Alexander went
te the polls and offered his vote he was
challenged, and he was called Inte the
election room. Tbore Alexcnder mode
affidavit that he had paid the tax required
by law, and these olectlon officers In dell dell
ance of thelr oaths oxeludod his vete.
Alexander effered te make affidavit as te
his qualifications te vete, and said te Ilia
election officers if he voted illegally he
could be piosecutod; that later in the
evcnlng he made such affidavit befere Jus
tice Loauder T. Hensel and again went te
the polls and offcred his vete, and It wan
again refused.
Mr. Alexandcr lu his tostlmeuy said he
had bcen a rosldent of Kden township slnee
April 4, 1687, that lie voted at the spring
election of 1887 and tbe spring olcctien of
18SS. His ovldenco as te w hat took place
when he effered his vete In the fall et 16S8
was substantially us outlined by lilt counsel
In the opening.
Thes. Smith, the ompleyor of Alexander,
tostlfled that en the day bofero tbe olectlon
Michael Wclmer, one of the defendants,
called nt his place and bald there was no
use of Alexander's cemlug te the polls, as
he would net get ft vete.
J nines JetlrlOH. alae an Inspector of elec
tions, testified that he favered accepting
Alexander's vete, but was overruled
by Welmer and Barr, that Alexander
proved ids right te vete and that nollher
Wclmer or Barr offercd le get u blank se
that Alexander could sign lu
The defense was that Wclmer and Barr
discharged their dutles according te law en
this day, that the procculer was net regis
tered ns n voter, nor asseased lu L'tlcn
township, mid that when Alexander offer
ed his vete the ludge se informed him and
also told him that he would have te make
affidavit that he had paid a tax within two
years and resided In tlie township, and that
Alexander left the election room aud did
net again ceme back, andthat tbe prosecu
tion was brought by malicious people.
Welmer testified te thoabevo (acta andthat
Geerge W. Uonsel, jr., who had had his
head lu the window, called te Alexander
te ceme out, au they did net want te let
Democrats vete : Wclmer admitted that he
had net prepured an affidavit for Alexander
te sign, that a number of ether peeple voted
en that day whose names wero net en the
registry list, that he knew Alexander had
voted at the two preceding elections.
Iu rebuttal the commonwealth called u
number of wituossex who contradicted the
testimony of Wclmer and Barr lu suveral
Important particulars. On trial.
