IT SURPASSES ROB
Story of the Life of Edwin Churchill
Drucc, Heir to a Million.
WAS KIDNAPED WHEN A CHILD
Is Now Forty Years of Age, and for Past
Flvo Years Kcsidcd on the West
Sido-llo Is Now In England to
Assert Ills Rights.
Full of romance and exciting Inci
dents as strange as any related In works
of fiction is the story of the life of
Edwin Druce, who Is now In England
seeking to establish his right to an
estate vulued at $1,000,000. which was
the home of his uncestors for gener
ations. His father was Karon Churchill
of Lancashire, England, now deceased.
For sumo time prior to March 10 of this
year Druco boarded with George Hicks,
of X21 Twetitv-secimd street, thin city.
The Influences that nffected tho life
of Edwin Druce and robbed him of the
home he was entitled to, began to oper
ate forty-eight years ago, almost a de
cade before Edwin saw the light of day.
In 1S47 tho Baron Churchill learned that
two young men who resided near his
estate, Thomns Druce and a companion
named Hill, had been stealing blooded
cattle from him. It was a variety of
which the baron waa particularly
proud, und he had the young men con
victed and transported to Australia,
Druce for twelve, and Hill for twenty
years.
Hevenge was the only .i. ing that Tom
Druce dreamed of night ffnd day during
his banishment In the nntlpodes, anil
when at the end of ten years ho re
turned to his native village of Mosley,
he leurncd with gratification that the
Karon had married and wus the father
of a bright boy two years of age. Tha
ex-convlct determined to strike at the
father through the child.
Edwin Is Kidnapped.
Tom persuaded two women to assist
him and one day while the heir
apparent was playing In his father's
park the women spirited him nway and
gave him to Druce, who hid the young
ster In tho Druco house until the groat
hue and cry raised over the disap
pearance of the child had, In n measure,
subsided. Then young Churchill wns
taken to , the home of James Druce,
Tom's brother, some distance away in
the village of Troy, and wns thereafter
known as Edwin Druce. son of James
Druce, and was raised Jn the same
manner ns the other children of the
neighborhood, but little nttention be
ing paid to his education.
Karon Churchill and his wife wore
unremitting for two years in their
efforts to find their child, but failure to
discover any clue of him finally In
duced them to consider him dead, and
soon after the heartbroken mother died.
Later the? Karon married again.
As young Edwin grew up his foster
father would, at times, lead him to a
point where he could see the Churchill
estate, and say "that Is your place,"
but the boy was at that time una! to
understand what was meant byv.hesc
remarks, and imagined that his sup
posed father waa suffering from a de
lusion of some kind.
lard Life of the Heir.
Before Edwin had reached .the age of
15 he was consigned to labor In the
mills by James Druce, who at times
treated him with great severity. In
hard labor and little pleasure the years
passed until Edwin reached his ma
jority, when James Druce told Edwin
that he wanted him to marry one of thu
two girls he had always looked upon as
his sister. Without explaining that
they were not of the same blood he
simply put forth the edict that the
young people should marry. Just at
this time a letter arrived for Edwin
which contained Information as to his
birth, sent by some one acquainted with
the facts who desired to see Justice done
to the young man.
This letter was Intercepted by James
Druce and Its contents became practice
ally a sealed book to Edwin, although
the girl the father had designed him to
marry ascertained that It contained
facts concerning her adopted brother's
blmh, and acquainted him with the In
formation In her possession. Then
came a terrible scene; Edwin demanded
to know the names of his parents and
who he was, JaniP.s Druce, notwith
standing the overtures of marriage, de
claring with energy that the bjy was
his son.
Edwin Leaves the Oruccs.
But the suspicions that for several
years had been forming In the young
man's breast that he wus not the son of
James Druce, now obtained full posses
sion of him, and ho left the Druce home
stead and, obtaining employment as a
mall carrier, soon after married. A
great sorrow camo to him before long,
and for a time he bowed under Its
weight, but ultimately he chose another
mate, who died In giving birth to his
daughter, who Is now seven years of age
and resides with her grandparents in
England.
After his second affliction Edwin came
to this country and proceeded to Can
ada. After a short residence there he
moved to this city about five years ago,
and made his home on the West Side,
where he remained until March 10 last,
when he started for England. Edwin
had been In Scranton but a compara
tively short space of time when James
Druce put In an appearance here. His
wife was dead, his daughters married,
and he seems to have made, up his mind
to keep his eye on his adopted son, be
lieving there was money to be made
out of his knowledge of the antecedents
of his ward. A truce was patched up
and Edwin and the man he once
thought his father dwelt together
under the same roof near the west
mountain.
Old Man Wanted Money.
Edwin alleges that his adopted
father, during .their residence together,
several times made suggestions to the
effect that he would tell him all about
his Identity and parents for a consid
eration, but Edwin, not then knowing
what such Information was worth to
him. Ignored the proposition, having
neither the money .nor the disposition
to pay anything to the old man. Two
years ago James Druce became very
ill, so ill In fact that he feared his
earthly pilgrimage was ncarlng an end.
He called Edwin to the bedside and be
gan to disclose the necre-t he was pos
sessed of, but after telling his attentive
listener that he had been stolen when
a youth and giving a partial description
of the estate that his father owned in
England and the family coat of arms,
the speaker suddenly stopped, . seized
by some new Idea,
Nothing could Induce htm to continue
and presently he recovered. Never
afterward was he heard to refer to ihe
secret he had locked In his bosom.
Some time prior to this episode Edwin
formed the acquaintance of George
Hicks, then a resident of the Back
Road, who took a deep Interest In his
case. Hicks moved to 327 Twenty
second street and Edwin became a
boarder at his house. The latter's one
Idea was to save enough of money to
enable him to go to England and ob
tain Information of his parents. Saving
money was a slow and tedious process,
but by the assistance of Mr. Hicks Ed
win waa put Into possession of enough
of money to support him for a time
and March 10 he sailed for his native
land.
Letter from F.dwln llccelved.
A letter from Edwin was received by
Mr. Hicks recently, which described the
progress of hia search for Information.
He is now boarding with Mrs. Benjamin
Pender, of 133 Sunny Lane, Mosley, near
Heartshead, Lancashire, Kng., a few
miles from the place of his birth.
Many ot the facts related above have
been obtained by Edwin since he
reached England, and with the facts
heretofore mentioned In his .possession
and deductions drawn from them, he Is
now In possession of the complete story
of his life as outlined above.
One of the women who assisted In his
kidnapping died while Edwin was In
America and confessed her part in the
transaction, but Incriminated no one
else. Edwin's object now Is to find Tom
Druce. If he Is living and can be pre
vailed upon to speak, Edwin feels that
the fortune that belongs to him Is In his
grasp.
The heir Is now about 40 years of age
and In appearance, aotlons and speech
is totally different from James Druce.
Though reared In the same manner as
other English boys of the class to which
Druce belongs, Edwin always seemed
greatly their superiors. One of the
things that Edwin claims to have dis
proved since he went to England Is that
he Is the son of James Druoe,
The registry of the village where
James Druce resided and where all of
his children were born, contains the
record of only two children born to Mr.
and Mrs. James Druce, both of whom
are girls.

MR. RATKWIZ-S GRIEVANCE.
Ilia Intended Mother-ln-l.nw Confiscated
Passage Ticket lie Purchased.
Two years ago Anthony Rutkwlz left
Poland to seek his fortune In the land
of the free and the home of the bravo.
Before quitting the czur's domain he
paid a farewell visit to his sweetheart,
and before parting they pledged con
stancy to their love and the young wo
man agreed to come to America and
marry Anthony so soon as he had ac
cumulated enough of money, "sound"
or otherwise, to warrant them In taking
such a step.
Anthony came to this city and now
resides In Clark's lane. North End. By
frugality he accumulated considerable
money and purchased a passage to
America, which he sent to his loved
one. The hitter's father. In the mean
time had come to Scranton, and her
mother confiscated the ticket and came
hene to Join her husband, leaving their
daughter in Poland.
When Anthony heard of this he de.
manded the price of the ticket from
his sweetheart's father, and when pay
ment was refused, brought suit. Alder
man Roberts yesterday gave judgment
to Anthony for the amount of the
claim.
BUSINESS SESSION HELD.
Officers Chosen for the Wyoming M. E,
Ministerial Association.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Lackawanna, May 28. The business
meeting of the cne hundred and forty-
111st session of the Wyoming district,
Methodist Episcopal Ministerial asso
ciation, was held at the Methodist Epis
copal cnurch this morning, when olli
eei'S were elected as follows: President,
Presiding Elder Rev. J. C. Eckmun;
vice-president. Rev. H. C. McDurmott;
secretary and treasurer, Rev. J. B.
Sweet. Cnrverton was decided upon
os the place for holding the next meet
ing of the association, in October.
Among the arrangements for the next
meeting Rev. W. G. Simpson was ap
pointed to deliver the association ad
dress. Rev. W. Edgar being appointed
alternate. Rev. L. C. Floyd, D. D.,
was appointed to prencli the associa
tion sermon, Rev. J. F. Warner being
appointed delegate.
At the morning session Rev. John F.
Williams read a paper on "Local
Church Records," which was discussed
by Rev. F. A. King nnd Rev. W. R.
Cochrane.
Rev. William Edgar read a paper on
"The Ago In Which We Live," from
which the following thougts are taken
as Illustrating the spirit of the argu
ments; "It has long been acknowl
edged In our country that votes are
both bought and sold. This, of Itself,
Is sufficient evidence of political cor
ruption. Another fact makes my as
sertion most positive, viz., that the
saloon is in politics. Liquor dealers
and those Involved in, the business, in
various ways, manifest a most dicta
torial spirit in relation to politics. They
know, and so ,do the politicians, that
those liquor men control a large num
ber of votes, so the politicians come
down to them to obey their commands.
This is one of the great secrets of
political corruption. We live on an
age of moral depravity. Perhaps what
I have already said Indicates this in
part, but aside from all political sig
nifications, the evidences of moral d-
Dravltv are overwhelming.
Other papers of great interest were
read by Revs. G. C. Lyman, J. Jv. recu,
Leonard C. Murdock, John W. Price,
and William S. Wilcox.
Rev. H. C. McDcrmott preached the
association sermon this e,vnlng, hav
ing his theme on Mathew, xil, 42.
He Knows Something.
From the Boston Herald.
It inppears to have taken President
Cleveland to discover the fact that there
Is fine troutlng In the Immediate vicinity
of Washington. Tho president seems to
have Instinctive notions on this subject.
