A Fisherman Sees His Card Dropped From a Steamer—Supposedto Have Been in St. Louis—A Letter From Major Truman. There has been but little in the way oi new developments in the Hanchette mystery in the past two days. Superin tendent of schools Friesner yesterday re ceived the following telegram: St. Louis, Mo., May 25, 1891. W. M. Friesner, Los Angeles, California. G. W. Lynch and wife of Detroit, while fishing at Sandwich, Ontario, op posite Detroit, on May 8, picked up H. J. Hanchette's card, which they saw thrown from a propeller of the Lake Su perior Transportation company bound up the river. W. C. Fant. An earlier dispatch from the same gentleman says: "The package room man here (St.Louis) saw a man of Hanchette's description one week ago take baggage out between 9 a.m. and noon. He did not stop at any hotel here between May Bth and present time. Will see the Wabash conductor of May 7th tomorrow. Try Hot Springs, Ark. If sick he might go there." Mr. Wiggins at the chamber of com merce yesterday received the following letter from B. C. Truman: Chicago, 111., May 21,1891. Dear Mr. Wiggin: Up to 4 this after noon nothing further has been developed. I drove over to the morgue yesterday, and while the man found floating in the lake looked much like Hanchette, it was not him. His whiskers and hair and eyes and stature were about the same, but I am positive it was not Hanchette. Beside, the drowned man had on coarse clothes. Still had H. been the subject of foul play, his murderer could have fixed that. By the way, there was an agent of the Traveler's insurance com pany in today, who told me that he had insured Hanchette's life for $5000. May be you know about this. At any rate if H. did not send his policy to Mrs. H. let me know of it, as it was made payable to her. As ever, truly, etc., B. C. Truman. This letter would seem to indicate that Hanchette's friends at Chicago are still active in the search for traces of him. THE TAILORS' UNION. New Officers Elected at Last Night's Meeting. The Tailors' Union No. 81 met laßt evening at Caledonia hall. The follow ing officers were elected: M. McDermott, president; A. F. Pe terson, vice-president; S. Larsen, re cording secretary ; N. P.

ATTENTION!! 1 A Pleasing Entertainment At the New Vienna Buffet!

THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; TUESDAY MORNING, MAY :6, 1891. THE MURDERED MAN'S WILL FILED FOR PROBATF.. His Property Left Unconditionally to His Widow—The Extent of the Estate. Considerable Property at Kansas City. T. E. Gibbon, attorney for Mrs. Miller, yesterday tiled a petition in the superior court for the probate of the will of George Miller, the murdered pro prietor of the Carlton saloon on Spring street. The document was dated April 3, 1888. The property of the deceased, which is stated to be of the value of about $25,000, is left to Mrs. Miller with out condition, and she is made execu trix without bonds. The property includes $15,000 life insurance. Besides this there is also $10,000 life insurance not specified in the will because the policies were made payable to Mrs. Miller. Those mentioned in the will were made payable to the estate of the deceased. Altogether Miller carried $25,000 life insurance. The will only deals with the property which was Mr. Miller's. There is other property which stood in Mrs. Miller's name, making an estate in all of $100,000 in value. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Miller simultaneously made wills, each leaving to the other all the property without conditions and without bonds. People now in Los Angeles who knew Mr. and Mrs. Miller in Kansas City state that their domestic relations were particularly pleasant, and were charac terized by "exceptional affection. A large amount of the property left by Miller is in Kansas City. The $500 check which he flourished around so ex travagantly on the Sunday he was killed, was from Miller's Kansas City agent and was the income of some «f the property. SOME POTATOES. The Enormous Yield Expected from Los Angeles County. Railroad freight officials report that in this vicinity there are 12,000 acres planted to potatoes, which are now be ginning to come into market. It is esti mated that the yield will be on the av erage half a carload to tho acre, which would return 6000 carloads, but a more moderate general estimate places the probable returns at between 4000 and 5000 carloads. San Diego county, it is estimated, will furnish 500 carloads. The potatoes are now being shipped to the east at the rate of from six to six teen cars a day over both railroads. Until July Ist the local yield will find little competition from the eastern prod uct, and the indication is that the mar ket will be good throughout the year. The amount of money this single branch of agriculture will bring into the county will be something enormous. The Secret of Success. All druggists believe that the secret of success is perseverance.
