JOHN WILLIAMS HEIR TO MILL­ IONS OF DOJLLARS. fh« Wealth of a California Pblltntiiropllt AinoavtlQK to 97,000,000 Lett to an Ei- <l«ckey and His Brwtbor--Th« LcfaWi Philosophy. [Philadelphia dispatch. John Williams, coachman/for E. C. Howell, of Bristol, is a happy man. He has just become heir to half of an estate of 87,003,000. He recently returned from a trip to California,whero his uncle,Theo­ dore Lnderick, died, leaving his estate to John and his brother William, who lives at Blackburn, N. Y. They are each to receive the interest on the 87,000,- 000 for forty-five years, when the princi­ pal will be paid to them. Theodore Luderick, the wealthy de­ cedent, came to this country from Metz, Germany, in 1846, at the beginning of the igoid excitement in California. He went to that State with only a little money. He went into the mining busi­ ness and began to make money. He had previously been in the gold and mining business in Australia. As soon as he reached California he began to accumu­ late iron, gold, silver, lead and copper ore and sold it at an enormous profit. In 1876 he was |vorth $10,000,000,<;but during the panic of 1877 he gave aw;ay $3,000,000 among thoQ poor, He has left several millions to charitable institutions in this country. He was a bachelor and was 88 Vears of age when he died--last August Ife ha3 bce?t retired from business for thjfe jea^s. F'JoIui, thS Coachman, was seen by a re­ porter iu his-snug little room in Mr." Howell's barn. He said that he and his brother would receive the interest on $7,000,000 for forty-five years, when they would receive the principal. His undo left $5,000,000 in personal property, con­ sisting of bonds and mortgages, and $2,000,000 in real estate. The interest on $7,( 03,000 at 5 per cent, would be $350,000 annually, and he would, there­ fore, have an income of $175,000 a year. When asked what he intended to do with so much money as that, he replied: "I am going to follow my uncle's ex­ ample. I have great desires to give to the poor. I expect to spend $60,000 or $70,000 yearly for orphans, Sisters of Charity, hospitals, etc. I expect to travel about live years. 1 expect to sec all parts of the world, if it costs mo $8 or $10 a day. I don't know what I shall do after I get through traveling. I shall not go into any business, and probably shall not do anything. I shall use good sound sense and stay with my employer until such time as the estate is settled up, which will be about eighteen months from now." . Williaihs has had a very romantic life. He was born at Fleetwood, Pa., May 6, 1865. Ho is the son of William and Martha Williams. His mother is dead, but his father is still living. MI have made myself," said Williams, in giving a sketch of his life. "From my boyhood up I have lost no time, have met all classes of men*, and have traveled over the United States more than five times. I am a professional horse-jockey, and have been groom and rider fifteen years, off and on." Williams said that his brother Will­ iam. who is to share the estate with him, is 14 years old, and is home at Blackburn with his father. PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. & E. B. WINANS.

Turner, the Republican nominee for Governor of Michigan, was born HI Lansing in 1850. He was edu­ cated in the common- school at Lansing, and finislicd'his rudimentary training with a course in the academy at Cazeno- via, N. Y. Showing early in life an aptitude for •business, he found em­ ployment when but 16 years of age in a country store. He remained two JAS x- TCBNER. years there and then en­ tered the land office of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Railroad. Ho was given charge of surveys and the examin­ ation of lands. He was made President and General Superintendent of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, now the middle division of the Chicago and Grand Trunk, and occupied the position from 187G to 1879. In 1870 he was elected to the Michigan Legislature, where he served one term. He was the first pay­ master of the Ionia and Lansing Road. He is now President of the State Agri­ cultural Society, and Mayor of Lansing. E. B. Winans, the Democratic oppo­ nent of Mr. Turner in the race for gubernatorial honors in Michigan, was born in New York , • State", 64 years a g o , m o v e d t o Michigan in 1834, and was educated i p t h e d i s t r i c t schools and at col­ lege.

Hoard, at the recent Republican State Convention in Wisconsin, was chosen by acclamation as the candidate of his party for a second term, and he is now engaged in a lively ^ contest with George W.

He served with gal­ lantry in the civil war, artO at tto close of that struggle set- HOARD- tied down as a farmer, at which he has been eminently successful. Ho is also editor of Hoard'x Dairyman, the leading journal of tlie Northwest devoted to the dairy interest. George W. Peck, the nominee of tho Democrats for Governor of Wisconsin, was raised in the Badger State, and is about 50 years old. Ho is a practical printer, having served his ap­ prenticeship in the of­ fice of the old LaCrosse Democrat, under Brick Pomeroy. He served with credit in the army, and after the close of the war edited a news­ paper in LaCrosse. Sub­ sequently, about 1875, PECK, he established in that city Peek's Sun, which he removed to Milwaukee two or three years later. It was his weekly humor­ ous sketches of "The Bad Boy and His Pa" that brought him first into public notice. His paper reached an enormous circulation, and money poured into his coffers in a golden stream that fairly dazzled the eyes of the successful humorist.

GEOKOK New Kridenee In tlio Montloello (Til.) Mur­ der Case Tonds to Show that QalTln t Holdeu and Albert Duubam Are Innooeal of tho Crime. [Monticello (III.) dispatch.] A little over a week ago Calvin Holdeo and Albert Dunham were convicted ol the murder of Harley Russell and sen­ tenced to be hanged Friday, Oct. 17. Public sentiment at the timo demanded and approved the verdict. Now there is a strong feeling that the two men so re­ cently doomed to suffer this extreme penalty are probably innocent, and that the Governor should interpose his execu­ tive authority. John Holden and his family lived a few miles east of town on the Hale farm, which belongs to the father of Young Hale, of Cleveland, Ohio, that shot his brother-in-law in Canada. The Holdcns were slow in paying rent and got far be­ hind. Last spring W. EL Lodger, who has chargc of Mr. Hale's property, took the farm away from the Holdens and rented it to Frank Craig, a well-to-do farmer, who wanted it for his son-in-law, Harley Russell. The Holdens were com­ pelled to move. They came to town and Harley Russell, with his young wife, took possession of the farm. The murder occui red upon the even­ ing of June 21. Russell and his wife had been to town in a buggy, and had 'Started to return. Just outside tho town limits and a littlo beyond the Holden house two persons stepped out into tho middle of the road. It was dark, and their faces could npt be distinctly seen. One seized the horse by tho bridle, while the other fired into the buggy several times. The horse raji ay ay, and >Ir?. Russell stoppe j it at the Mitchell farm, where Russell died a few hours later. His ante-mortem statement was that Cal Holden shot him, while "a man who looked like the man who live? with the Holdens held the bridle." He did not know Dunham's name, but it was ho who was meant. At the trial Mrs. Russell identified Calvin as the one who did the shooting. The two brothers look very much alike, however. She could not identify Dunham, but she identified his hat and coat This is absolutely the ex­ tent of the evidence upon which theso two young men were convicted and sen­ tence to be hanged. Mrs. Holden was sentenced to twenty- five years and Ed Holden to fifteen years in the penitentiary. The State set up the plea of con­ spiracy, and thus had all four indicted. Mrs. Holden was convicted under the impression that she was the instigatorof the crime. Ed Ifolden was convicted on general principles. Judge Vail remarked afterward that there was no evidence against Ed and intimated that if he had asked for a new trial it would have been granted, but neither Ed nor his mother wanted a new trial. « Calvin Holden and Albert Dunham were arrested by the Sheriff the niffht of the murder, on the strength of Harley Russell's ante-mortem statement. Sheriff Miller found them in bed as'enp, and he says now that he was strongly impressed at the time by their behavior that they were innocent. Calvin had come home sick during tho afternoon and he went to bed early, an hour and a half before the shooting. Dunham was tired with a hard day's work and he fell asleep on the front porch. He was awakened about 9 o'clock, half an hour before tho shoot­ ing, by Edwin, who poured some water in his face to arouse him. Ed and Mrs. Holden advised him to go to bed. It was unusual for them to display such solici­ tude. He remembers also that early.in the evening Mrs. Holden had asked him it he had seen Harley Russell in town that day. Dunham stumbled to bed and wasAtfon fast asleep. His coat and hat, identification of which by Mrs. Rus­ sell was the chief point of evidence against him, were found next day in Mrs. Holden's room. His shoes had also been misplaced. Dunham had no mo­ tive of revenge to gratify, and was not intimate enough with the Holdens tc warrant the suspicion that he would have assisted them in committing a cold­ blooded murder. Mrs.Holden had frequently made threats that she would have revenge upon RUB- ' sell and sho said to Dunham the day of the killing, "If Ed don't do it I'll do it myself." The attorneys for the defense knew these things and others, too, which have lately become public property, but they advised Dunham not to go on the i stand, as it would convict Mrs. llolden and would do him no good. Old John Holden advised his wife to ask for a new trial. "I don't wan* any new trial," she made reply. "What do you want to do? Hang the whole family!" Ed said he did not want a new trial. Dunham and Cal Holden insisted upon asking for a new trial, and they asked for it alone. Mrs. Holden and Ed requested that they be taken to Joliet at once. Tho Sheriff consented, and they got ready to go, and an hour later the two prisoners were conducted out of the jail to the train. Just before leaving, Ed said to his mother: "Just rest easy. We had the satisfac­ tion of getting even." "For God's sake, mother," exclaimed Cal, as they parted, "tell the truth and save my life." "TelJjCliarley Mansfield and Dr. Knott to come with me," she answered. "I have something to tell them." "Can't you tell it here, mother?" ho asked. "No; I wouldn't live two hours if I told it now." Mr. Mansfield, oner of the' attorneys for the defense, and Dr. Knott, a friend of Mrs. Holden, accompanied her and Ed to Joliet in obedience to her request. Mrs. Miller, the wife of tho Sheriff, who had won her confidence, had just before been the recipient of an oral confession that she and Ed had killed Harley Rus­ sell, and that neither Calvin nor Dunham knew anything about it. A tide of pub­ lic sentiment has set in strongly in favor of the two men who are condemned ta die Oct. 17. k A Specter Doer. . The mountain people on Walden's ridge, within fifteen miles of Chattanoo­ ga, are convinced that a specter deer protects the living ones. There arc still a large number of deer to be found on the mountains, and parties frequently go from the city on hunting expeditions. They seldom fail to get within sight of the game, but very frequently return without any. The reason of this is explained by one of the natives of the ridge in a most sin­ gular way. "I know," he said, "that there is a specter deer on the mountain. 1 have seen it and so have a great many "oilier people. Now, I can hit a top of a cap box at one hundred yards, and I never missed a deer in my life wjhon it was an actual flesh and blood deer. But often, when I go hunting, I jmnp haft a dozen deer at a time; one of them will stop within a few feet, with its side to me. I shoot at it and it never moves, and I load and fire again. Then I know that it is the'specter deer, and there is no use in my hunting any more that dayj i would never see another dew.-" * Human Frailty.
