The Good Fortune That Befell a Poor
Gardener's Daughter.
HEIRESS TO FIFTEEN MILLIONS
The Legacy Comes From an Uncle Who
Went From England to Australia
and Amassed a Vast Fortune
In the Gold Fields.
PniLADKLPniA, Nor. 14. A romnrkablo
romnuce In real llfo has coino to light by
the sudden mid unexpected Inheritance of
a fortune of 115,000,000 by the 25-yo.ir-old
dnughter of a poor gardener, William
Kelly, who Uvea at 1833Latonla strect.thls
city. Kllznbeth Kolly, the heiress, and her
father confirmed tho story. The legacy
comes from tho ostatoof alongdoad undo,
Peter Kolly, who amassed a vast fortune
In tho Australian gold fields over thirty
years ago.
Peter Kelly was living with his parents
In Lancashire, England, when tho Aus
tralian gold craze broko out, and ho wont
to that land to make his fortune. Nothing
was heard of him for many years until
ono day, nearly a quarter of a century ago,
his mother received word that he would
soon return homo n millionaire. He did
not come, howover, but after somo months
a dear muto who had been a nnssonirer
with Peter on tho vessel bound for Eng
land appeared, and told of a violent storm
at sea, in which a number of passongers,
Including Peter Kelly, had been drowned.
Inquiry was begun and tho sou's story
of Ills millions was verified, part of the
money being In Australian banks. Ho had
never marriod, and had no relatives in
Australia. The family received tho inter
est on tho fortune, which was valued at
$15,000,000.
Somo timo after Peter's death, tho story
goes, his brothor William, who had come
to America before Peter's departure for
Australia, learnod of tho existence of a
will in which all the estate was bequeathed
to his (William's) oldest child, Elizabeth.
William's wages woro enough for the sup
port of his family, and it is authorita
tively assorted that whon he first learned
of this vast estate he mado no effort to se
ouro it for his then Infant daughter. Two
years ago, howover, he engaged an attor
ney, and it is declared that the enormous
legacy will bo placed at tho disposal of tho
girl this wool:.
Tho heiress is reported as having told
hor frionds that she is going to distribute
her wealth as follows: "To her brothor
Bho intends to give $1,000,000; to his wife,
tho samo amount; to their children, Wil
lie, 0 years old; Alma, 3, and Walter, tho
baby, who Is in his first ycar,sho will hand
ovor $10,000 each. Tho heiress' sisters,
Florence who is 8, and May, who Is 11,
will recolvef 1,000, 000, to bo held In trust
for them. Tho father, It is thought, will
enjoy tho bulk of the wealth with his
daughter.

Special Meeting of the Board of Health
Last Night.
AN OFFICER'S TRIBULATIONS !
People Object to tho Notices of Contagious
Diseases and one Refuses to Allow
the Officer to Supervise the Dis
infecting of Premises.
A special meeting of the Board of Health
was held last evening and was attended by
Messrs. Spalding, Malone, Miles and Mc
Halo. The president stated that tho meeting was
called to tako action on the difficulties en
countered by tho Health Officer in enforcing
tho rules of tho Board as to tho disinfecting
of the premises of Peter IHIcy, corner of
West and Oak streets, where a contagious
disease existed, and to consider other matters
of special importance.
Health Ollicer Coury staled that he re
ceived notice from tlic physician in atten
dance that tho patient in Mr. Ililey's houso
hud recovered from typhoid fever and the
placard could bo removed. Ho went to tho
houso to make tho removal, but before doing
so informed Mr. Hiley of tho Board's re
quirements as to the dr-infecting of premises
and of tho officer's duty to see that tho dis
infecting was properly made. Mr. Hiloy
blankly refused to allow tho ollicer to enter
on the promises, consequently tho officer re
fused to remove tho placard ponding instruc
tions from tho Board.
After hearing tho statement the Board
adopted a resolution ordering Hoalth Ofllcor
Conry to proceed with tho enforcement of
tho rules and tako any action in tho premises
that may be necessary to enforce a com
pliance. The Health Officer also stated that ho had
some difficulty with D. R. Lewis, of North
Main street, about tho placing of a notice of
contagious disease Mr. Lewis had a case of
diphtheria iu his house and objected to tho
notice being placed in front of his property,
which was tho only public place that could
bo selected in compliance with tho rulos.
He wanted the notice posted iuide of tho
building, at a doorway leading to tho upper
part of tho dwelling. The Health Ollicer
placed a notice at a doorway leading upstairs
and on a subsequent visit found the notice
was entirely disregarded. Ho then placed
the notice on the street door entrance, as tho
ouly proper place for a notico of that char
actor. An cxehango of views by members of tho
Hoard as to the advisability of placing no
tices at the public entrances of business
houses brought out tho opinion that, as the
notices were posted solely in tho interest of
the public, to warn tho peoplo of the ex
istence of dangerous diseases, and while it
may work a hardship sometimes on indi
viduals, tho welfare of tho many required
that tho notices bo posted in conspicuous
places. Tho Board was of tho opinion that
the placing of notices should bo left to the
discretion of tho Health Officer nnd no dis
crimination can be made between a placo of
businoss and any other place.
