While a Wilkesbarre Wom an Languished in Alms house. $40,000 Awaited Her in New York City. For seven years, while Mrs. Mary Minich, once a resident of Wilkesbarre, lay dying in the poorhouse, a fortune of $40,000 was searching for her. Now she is dead, without ever knowing what she missed. The fortune was left by Rudolph Back, a bookbinder, of Brooklyn, who died there November 27, 1893, without leaving a will. The banking house of Larenberg, Thalman & Co., of New York, was made administrator, and ever since has had agents looking for Mrs. Minich, who was known to be the next of kin. It was not until last night that she was found, or, rather, that it was discoverdd she had died at the poorhouse at Retreat last fall. She was known by the name of Mrs. Matthias. Mrs. Minich in her youth was one of the belles of Wilkesbarre. She married Dr. Minich, who died thirty yeays ago, leaving nothing but debts. Reared in luxury, she suddenly found herself a pauper. Then she led a precarious existence until, at the age of 79, she was sent to the poorhouse. This was in 1893, the very year that the fortune of which she never knew became hers. She lived until last fall, dying at the ago of 80. Meanwhile the banking firm had searched far and near for her, and it was only & short time ago that they got the clue which led to the inquiries made of Poor Director Tisch last night. Called Off the Parade. The board of government of the C. T. A. U. of Scranton diocese met Friday evening at Wilkesbarre to discuss the matter of holding the annual tenth of October parade. After hearing the final reports of the several railroads as to tho rates, which were very unsatisfactory, it was decided te call the parade at Ilazleton off. After discussing the matter thorough ly, it was decided under the conditions to hold the parade in Wilkosbarre. The board also suggested that tho proceeds of the picnic to be held on the occasion bo given to tho Mercy hospital. As a result of tho above conditions there will be no parade of any kind at Ha/.leton, nor will the societies of this district take part in tho Wilkesbarre demonstration. The Young Men's Corps, of town, will celebrate the date by holding a ball tho previous evening at Krell's opora house. Union Party at Work.
