A STOKY OF MILLIONS.
The Queen's Bench Said to Have
Found an Heir to a Great
Kstate.
Buffalo, March 10. The wife of dea
con Sidney S. Brown, of Bagdad, near
Gowanda, N. Y.,has been acknowledged
by the Court of Queen's Bench as an
heiress to the Lawrence Townley estate
in England, valued at $100,000,000,
about .f 10,000,000 of which is believed to
be her due.
Before the opening of the present cen
tury Lord Townley owned a fine estate
in England and was the parent of a
willful but comely lass named Mary,
who, despite her father's protests, be
come engaged to one John Lawrence, a
man of good family but no considerable
wealth. Failing to conciliate the lady's
father the couple came to America, and
were married at Springfield, Mass.
During much of the latter colonial pe
riod communication was but littie ear
ned on l.tween the mother country and
America, and the father and daughter
never became reconciled. Lord.Townley
died, and the family in England became
extinct. For over fifty yc ars the estate
was in the hands of the I'rglish author
ities, with no claimants, and might have
remained so up to the present time but
for the late war. In 1SG0 James Jac
ques was a Methodist minister, stationed
in Illinois; but when the war broke out
in the following year he enlisted as a
private. Promotion in the field soon
followed for bravery, be being the indi
vidual who unaided, arranged the meet
ing between president Lincoln and Jef
ferson Davis, by means of which he
hoped for a settlement of difficulties.
At the close of the war Col. Jacques
went to Springfield, Mats., to engage in
the ministry, and while there accident
ally ran across the record of the mar
riage of John Lawrence and Mary Town
ley. Being aware of the estate in Eng
land awaiting claimant?, Col. Jacques
set about hunting up the heirs. His in
vestigation brought him to Gowanda,
where he informed Mr. Brown that his
.wife, who was a daughter of the late
Judge Wilders, of Springville, was a di
rect descendant of Mary Lawrence,
and therefore one of the heirs to the vast
estate. Mr. Brown executed bonds on
the estate, raised sufficient money to
prosecute the claim, and sent Col. Jac
ques to Europe, whither he went after
declining the position of Secretary of the
Treasury under the late President (Jar
field. Soon after his arrival in England
the Court of Queen's Bench decided that
the claims of the American heirs were
valid, and since that time Col. Jacques
has been engaged in complying with the
technicalities of English law. Mr. Brown
last week received a letter from Col.
Jacques stating that he had given two
members of the House of Lords an in
terest in the estate, for which they were
to procure an ac t of Parliament directing
the transfer of the proceeds of the estate
to the United States Treasury. Col.
Jacques is to receive one-third of the
estate for his labors. Sylvester Cowles,
D. D., of Randolph, purchased bonds in
the estate, and is said to be very anxious
to live until the final settlement, when
he expects 113. 000. lie is now over 80
3e;irs old. and wants to round off a use
ful career by endowing Hamilton Col
lege, from which lie was graduated,
with 10,000. also placing $10,000 to tho
credit of a college for negroes in Ten
nessee. The Florida Orange Trees.
Savannah Times.
The transportation of the Florida or
ange crop is an item of considerable im
portance to the different transportation
companies. Tho Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway undoubtedly handles
llie bidk of this trade, and to Mr. Wal
ter S. King, freight agent of that road, a
Times reporter is indebted for the fol
lowing figures, which show the increase
in the traffic: In 1S83-84 there was ship
ped U.ISS barrels and 89G,30t boxes.while
in 1884-83, 8.333 barrels and 590,418
boxes have been shipped. The season
1S84-S3 is not yet ended and is holding
out remarkably well. The season will
lap over into tho vegetable season,
which will begin in about two weeks.
Already quantities of cabbage are going
northward, while a few straggling cases
of cucumbers and tomatoes pass over the
road bound for New York. A few boxes
of early strawberries have also been bil
led through for New York, where they
will tickle the palate of some gourmand
who has a well lined purse.
Sensible Observations.
Chicago Tribune.
This old family business is becoming
nauseating. Consider such rot as this
from a Massachusetts newspaper: "Al
though he bears one of the oldest fami
ly names in Xew England. Mr. Endicott
will be found one of the most affable and
approachable of men." How kind of
Endicott to be aproachahle when he
belongs to one of the oldest families in
New England ! The who'e idea is ab
surd.

"You must excuse my delayed ap

Before Featherly left he had fully com

An old man cf sixty-seven years has been

same character, and several on his hands, all
,of about two and a half years standing. His
general health was poor, and he could scarce

of Swift "s Specific. The sores are all well,

I have had hereditary scrofula broken out
on me for eight years. My mother and one
sister died with it, and J, supposing that I
would go as other members of the family had,
had despaired of life. The treatment of mer
cury and potash seemed to aggravate instead
of curing the disease. In this condition 1 was
pressed to use Swift's Specific. After taking
six bottles the fearful ulcers on my neck and
arms disappeared and the scars only remain
to remind me of my sufferings. Had 1 taken

twenty years, at times with almost intolerable
pain. I had the best medical treatment, and
took all sorts of remedies, but without relief.
Being reduced almcst to a skeleton, and not
being able to walk even with crutches, I was
induced to try Swift's Specific, and it acted
like a charm, and I am to-day entirely relieved.

My babe at six months old broke out with
eczema. My fami'y physician treated the
child for five months but gave up in despair
of doing it any good, and recommenced, me
to call some other physician. I did so, but he
declined to have anytning to do with the case,
saying that the child could not live. In des
pair 1 went to the druggist and told him the
condition of my child. He gave me a bottle
of Swift's Specific and I have used two others.
The child is now two years old is fat and
plump as a pisr, and in perfect health. There
is no sign of the disease returning.
