Baker Heir' Attorneys Skid to Have ! Found It K0W IK A PHILADELPHIA ZTEAXCIAX ixsrmmos. The search for a better party than the Republican had tbe usual result in 2inr York City. A chase after windy Veforniers' is great luck for the worst political element. Anyone who suffers from that terrible plague. Itching Piles, will appreciate the immediate relief and permanent cure that cornea through the nse of Ion' Oint ment. It never fails. Brs h.v ell's plurality was one of tbe largest ever given a CJovernor in Ohio. Hayes was elected Governor three times, and bis pluralities were 2,983, 7,518, and 5,44. Bushnell's plurality is about 28,000. It is thought that by the first of the year Treasury officials will be treat fd to the novel sight of witnessing monthly surpluses instead of deficits. The receipts of the Dingley law are steadily growing. The giand jury ignored the charge of conspiracy preferred against General Iteeder, and Van Valkenberg must pay the costs. It is very plain now why the general was so anxious for the trial; be knew whaL the result would be. The Bryan experiment in Ohio dur ing the closing days of the campaign was a fizzle. In the counties in which he held forth to tbe delighted farmers the Republican majorities averaged about a hundred greater than last year. If Bryan had spoken "from every stump," as originally aunounced, what would have been the result? Secretary Aixjf.k, of the War De partment, in his forthcoming report will urge upon Congress the necessity of increasing the Regular Artillery iroin rive u seven regiments, urging that this ii-crease is necessary not to man but to care for the new fortifica tions. The New York Chamber of Commerce urges the incre&de. The gain of a Republican Senator in Maryland is one of the pleasiug feat ures of the recent election, but there will likely be greater gains in the con' tests of lsiiS. At present the lU-publi cans are not in a clear majority iu the Senate, though they have a good lead over the Democrats; alone. Murphy, of Jvew York, and Smith, of New Jersey who step out a year and a third hence. are among the Democratic Senators who, in all probability, will have Re publican successors. State Treasurer Haywood tells story showing the good judgment of Senator Quay, in whose company he was on election night- Mr. Haywood. In an interview, had remarked that Reacom would receive from 150,000 to 223,000 plurality. Senator Quay, before any returns had been received, said this estimate was too high, and that Mr. Beaoom would get about the plurality Col. Jackson scored in 1$3, which was iu the neighborhood of 130,000. This was only 9,000 out of the way. Mr. Ding ley says the Democrats will be grumbling next year because the tariff" is producing a surplus. The chances are that the Dingley act will, lefore long, at least bring in enough revenue to meet the expenditures. When that condition comes the coun try will rejoice. It is to be hoped that the prediction of a surplus, however, w ill prove correct. A surplus would enable the Government to do a little de!t paying, which would be a very agreeable change after the debt creating which was doue by the Cleveland administration. A Saxcidt for Curioiity. New York, Nov. 12. A man to whom death was no oore of an incident thwi breakfast, com mi led suicide to-day out of curiosity to know what tbe future is. He is John C. Bullitt, Jr., son of Judge Josh ua F. Bullitt, of near Louisville, Ky., Judge of the Court of Appeals of Ken tucky, lie was found dead in a room at the Central Railroad Hotel, on Liberty street, which he engaged o'-. tbe previous night, bavii.g registerei as from Duluth, Minn. Bottles containing hydro-chloric acid, cyanide of potassium and nitric acid mere found on a table near the bed. A letter, found in the apartments, ad dressed to Joshua F. Bullitt, Jr., Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Va., read a follow Thu rsday. Dear Josh I have decided to end it alb I wish you and Jim will in duce father and mother to so make their wills as to secure to my wife and daughter my one-third shareof their estate. I ask that every paper, memorandum, etc, that I leave behind me be de- troyed without bein? oreviously read. For my faults I ask only tbe charity of silence. If I pos sensed any virtues, let them live in mem ory. 'You will, I anow, be interested in knowing how a person feels who is about to step into the unknown worbh Hence, I will tell you what my feelings are. I wonder, I doubt, I hope but over all the wonder and the doubt and the hope a feeling of inteuse curiosity prevails. What is the future? I believe I know, but it is only a belief. I am very curious to verify it. The feeliug of fear is absent. I am going fnm bore to the Eden Musee to play chess with the automaton. This fact illustrates my mental condition per haps lietterthana volurueof my writing mould. "Death seems to me to be merely an event of no more importance, say, than breakfast. I love life and hate to leave it, but the summons has been served and must answer. And now good bye. We m ill meet again. "Yonr brother, "John C. D-.UtU, Jr." Early this morning Bullitt cams down stairs, lut returned to his room. That mas the last time he was seen alive. As there was no response io the knocksof the chambermaid the dcxr of the apartment was formd open late this afternoon and then the suicide mas discovered. Mr. Bullitt was about years of age, and was formerly solicitor of the North era Pacific Railroad, at first located at Su Paul, Minn., and later at Duluth, Minn, He resigned to engage in private practice in New York. Cleveland's Soa Hamed. Priscetox, N. J., Nov. 10. The Prince ton collegians m-ere greatly disappointed wheu it became knjwn to-night that Grover Cleveland's eon is to lie named Richard Folsom Cleveland. They had riven the voune man the name of Grover Cleveland, jr., on the day of his birth, aud hoped it would stick to him The name decided upon, Richard rot aom. is given in honor of Mrs. Cleve land's father. Where is the Solid South now? Two Republican Senators from Mary land, one from West Virginia, with a likelihood of a second, one from Ken tucky, and the other refusing to vote w'.th the Democrats on currency mat ters, one Ittpublican Senator from North Carolina, and one Topulist, one Protectionist from Louisiana, two Sen ators from Georgia and on? Sw1 Caroliua refusing to stand in line on the tariff question, and one Texan Sen ator refusing to support free coinage. It apar8 to be something of a split. TET GBi.II-0 TRY GKAIS-0 !

The annexation pro ject gains friends as time passes. All the objections which can be urged against annexation have been heard, and they are not formidable. The Pres ident will, in his message, recommend early action, and nearly all the Repub licans and a majority of the Democrats are likely to stand with l.iai on this question. Nobody need be surprised if annexation comes before the end of January. Every State which McKinley tarried in 1S9G, except Kentucky, is tolerably sure to go Republican in 10. The Re publicans can give up Kentucky and still m in. They are likely, however, to gain States in the Norliwest which will more than make up for Kentucky's loss. The dri la Kansas and South Dakota toward the Republicans shows -a breaking in tbe Bryan column which has an ominous significance for the Silverite side. From present indica tions the general result in 1900 will be the same as it was in 1S9G, if the issue remains the same. Do the Democratic brethren really feel jubilant? They profess to. Bryan has issued his manifestoes calling atten tion to gains and the Increasing sen timent in favor of silver as shown by the election, but they are intended for people who don't know anything. With Mark Hanna as good as elected Sena tor, with Gorman defeated in his stmng lold and throughout the State, with I'Mihlican gains in Kansaa, with Free Silver again repudiated in New York, Massachusetts, Iowa, Ohio and Penn sylvania, what real cause for comfort and satisfaction the Democrats can find is hard to discover. That rii5,0O0,oio gold fund in the treasury is a fine illustration of the feeling of financial security which pre vails. At one time during the Brvan canvass the reserve vas down to f 100 - auu everybody who had any nieans of forcing gold out of the treas ury used it Just now any sort of pa per money is preferable to gold to the Sot Known Here. A woman who registered as " Mrs. Jones." arrived in Indiana a few even ings ago, with a babe in her arms and small son trudcing at her side. She had no money, and said she was on the him of her husband, from whom she had re ceived a letter telling her to come him there. They had formerly lived in Somerset, she said, and her husband's real name is Klmer Hodge though she addressed him at Indiana by request as Elmer DufT. She mas aidod in the search, but the man could not be found, thoticli he is said to have been there several weeks ago assisting C. A. Crumb ling of Morrcllville, in measuring the streets of the town ana numbering the houses, preparatory to establishing a free mail delivery. He is said to have col lected belonging to Mr. Grumbling aud left m ith it, leaving behind an un paid board bill. Tbe Indiana poor authorities paid the m'oman'g may to Pittsbur?, where fche said her home once was, and nothing hts been beard of her since. The attorneys for the Baker heirs have discovered, they claim. fUO,0G0 in actual cash in a Philadelphia institution, and proceedings will be begun immediately to get powtsion, says the Pittsburg Com mercial Gazette. This startling discovery has been kept uict for some time, so that further con- usive proof of the existence of the mon ey could be obtained. It appears that when the atU.rr.ey. F. Stonerand R. M. Ewing. representing the Baker Heirs' association of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, went to Philadelphia, they had nothirg to go on save tbe f t that these stories about the bulous wealth tf Jioob Baker were handed down from generation to genera- n in the Baker families. But every branch of the family, how ever remote, told the same identical story of wealth, a ninety-nine-year lease, and the fact that they were told by their fathers before them, that some day the family would be immensely wealthy. Every family repeated the story of how Jacob Baker, in order to get revenge on is sister for marrying against his will, xed his property so that neither she nor her immediate descendants could get bold of it. This made it appear that there was something in the story, and when they went to Philadelphia they determined to run it down and ascertain once for all, if possible, whether or not there was Baker money in that city, or in fact, anywhere else. FORMED A WORKING COMPACT. Attorney H. J. Miller of Chicago, also representing a Baker association in toe West, was already working in Philadel hia, and had compiled records of the entire Taker family from the beginning of the last century. He was an heir him self, and had firm and continuous faith in the proposition that there was money waiting for him somem here. When Attorneys Ewing and Stoner went to work they formed a compact with Miller and agreed to disclose what they learned about the estate, leaving out the questiou of whom they represented. The various records of tbe different Bakers who had left estates in Philadel phia county were referred to, and the orphans' court records looked up to dis cover what the executors had done with each of the estates. They finally, possi ble accidentally, came upon an estate that had never been settled. It was shortly after this that Miller dis covered that Jacob and John Baker, pre sumed to have been brothers, had invest ed certa'n money in the year 1792 in Phil adelphia, and afterwards died. The heirs of these men could not be located when it came to settle the estate. They m-ere supposed to have been bachelors, and their f:'.mily was scattered. The money that bad been invested was paid iuto court in the early part of this century, and when the court could not locate the rightful owners, the money was deposited in a financial institution in Philadelphia, and thee drew interest and compoiindod, awaiting the claim of heirs. (YtSSULTRfl WITH THE HEIRS. When the attorneys made this discov ery they left Phildelphia, it will here men bered, in a hurry, and came to Pitts burg to consult with the executive com mittee of the Baker Heirs' association. relative to further procedure in the mat ter. Tbey left Attorney Miller aud others to continue along these lines and run the entire transaction to earth. Siin'e that time these persons have leen at work and new iuformation has been received which leads the attorneys here to think that there can be no possible doubt about it now. The trouble is now to prove m ho are the heirs, and to com pel this institution to hand over the ac cumulated funds. If the heirs can estab lish a good title to the funds tbey will have no trouble in getting their money in the near future, according to the at tor neys' statements. A great deal of preliminary work is still to be done in the matter, and tbe attor neys refuse to state what institution has this money. Tney have figured it out generally and estimate the amount to be in the neichliorhood of K0i)0,O0O. This is only one line of the m-ork accomplished. Property has been discovered in North aud South Carolina, though how it is in volved they can not say at present. Tbe may the money m-as invested they also refuse to disclose at present. Tbe trouble tbe heirs will have now is to establish their claim to a portion of this cash. While there are several bun dred heirs, it is very probable that many of them mill be unable to prove their claims, aud miybe but a few will share in the final wind-up.

The Pittsburg attor neys will go to Philadelphia in the near future to try and establish their clients' claim to this money located. This puts a new phase on the Baker es tate story. The 99-year lease has been knocked out. It may be that these Bak era are not the same ones represented in this association, but the money, so far as discovered, has not been paid, and the estate iu which this 1,000,000 cash is in cluded has never been settled la the courts of Philadelphia, so far as the at torneys liave discovered to date.

Among these branches are the Pittsburg branch, Brad- dock, Beaver, Butler, Johnstown, Wash ington county, w cstmoreland county, Somerset, East Liverpool, Youngstown, Beaver Falls, Greenslmrg and others. In the West a number of branch asso ciations have been formed, and for many years a search has been carried on for this money, which, it is now alleged, haa been located.
