Fenelon Falls, Out. m The Fenclonhl‘alls Gazette. Friday, April 21st, 1891. Both the Victories Protected. On Monday last. 21 election petitions were filed at Osgoode Hall, just two- third of the number being against Lib- erals, which shows that the Tories are very anxious-to catch up. The batch includes both North and South Victoria, and in the latter there is a cross petition, the Tories hoping to be able to prove something against Mr. Walters, who will otherwise probably be declared elected. The items of evidence that we have heard against Mr. Barron are ex- ceedingly frivolous, and we do not doubt that they will all prove the same. m The T. V. G. The biggest deputation that ever Went to Ottawa to the Trent Valley Canal upon the Gov- ernment waited upon the Minister of Railways and Canals last Wednesday afternoon. The deputation consisted . of no fewer than 60 leading represent- atives of the various interested localities, and was headed by five members of Parliament. Besides the Premier, Sir Hector Langevin, Hon. M. Bowell and Hon. John Carling were present. After the ceremony of introduction, brief speeches in the interest of the canal were made by several members of the deputation. Mr. W. H. Bennett, of Midland, said that although Ontario had contributed largely to public works in other Provinces, it had as yet no national work of its own, and here was an opportunity to- give it one, adding: “ If you do this you will have nothing to fear for the prosperity of the country, or the support of your friends,” all of which remarks were warmly applauded. Mr. Dalton McCarthy assumed that the Governmefll l‘"il "undertaken the A“ construction of the canal, as parts ofit had been built, and said that those parts were useless unless the whole was com- pleted. He had supported the GOVeru- ment in a vast expenditure for the open- ing up of the Northwest, which had lowered the value of farms in Ontario, and he thought that this great canal through the heart ofthe Province should be built, and that the Government ought to commence it at both ends and push it through with expedition, as they did the C. P. R. Sir John Mncdonald made a somewhat lengthy and conciliatory but non-com- mittal reply, in the course of which he admitted that “ the Government. believe that it is a work that must and will be built," but he feared that the proposal to exempt the canal from tolls would tend to dcfeit Parliamentary votes for grants towards the project. On the whole the Premier's remarks were as favourable as could be expected; but had they been less so, they would not have lessened the faith of the advocates of the canal in its ultimate construction, and the agitation in its favor will no doubt be vigorously pressed all along the line. Two Hundred Millions. If what we read and hear be true, our townsman, Mr. E. R. Edwards, is likely to come in for a share of one of the largest fortunes that was ever wait.- ing to be cut up and divided between the lucky individuals entitled to it. More than a century ago Robert Ed- wards emigrated from Wales to the States and afterwards became the owner of a tract of land, which be leased to the British Government for the term of 99 years, andwhich is now said to be press the claims of tor of Bath 13 years. age and infirmin he resigned the spirit- ual charge, but remains nominal Rector and receives from the endowment in quarterly payments during life 8300 his relatives, but not finding MU, he came to Canada and died a few years ago at or near Manillu in the township of Mariposa. Others of the same fam- ily followed him from Wales to Ontario, and there are now scores of Elwardses in this part of the Province. One of the original Robert's brothers settled in Kentucky, where there are now numer- ous heirs, and possibly a few are still in Wales. Robert Edwards, of Manil- la, knew of the estate and often spoke about it to his relatives; but he had an idea that it had been “ confiscated " by the American Government and that all claim to it was lost. The following extracts from Canadian and American papers show that he was mistaken, and that the original Robert Edwards's heirs, â€"of whom our townsman is undoubted- ly oneâ€"are all likely to become sudden- ly wealthy some fine day “ in the sweet by-and-by ” :â€" It is well known both in Canada and the United States that, in the year l885, W. R. Edwards of Mo, U. 8., and Capt. Henry Edward of Komoka, Ont., compromised by a written contract the Estate on their part for 100 heirs in Canada and the United States as their Attorneys with the occu- pant's solicitor on the other part, to be paid in 90 days. This said contract covered three separate parcels of land, and on all these parcels the leases had expired. Now the reason that the contract in writing was not paid at maturity, there was an unexpir- ed lease of 12 acres on what is known as the Trinity Church vestry property. This last lease has only expired a few months ago, and the holders of the lease would not pay while they held a lease of the [2 acres. All the leases have now expired. These several parcels of land lay on both sides of Broadway, in the City of New York, and ‘are valued at $200,000,000. This land was leased by Robert Edwards to King George ML, and covers a part of Wall Street. Rob- ert Edwards soon disappeared thereafter, and was never heard of again. He died intestate and was a bachelor. The original lease was registered in favor of Robert Ed- wards. Hls heirs are now claiming the property. Robert Edwards wrote to his- brothers that he had leased the property to the English Government for 99 years. This letter was seen and read by W. R. Edwards in 1885, and it is now in possession of a great nephew of Robert Edwards, who lives at Stratford, U. S. Complete files of the ancient record were secured, copies of deeds taken and titles searched. Leading counsel have been sccured,â€"threc in allâ€"H. Duly, J. H. Humphrey and Kookney. Four men only know where and who hold these rec- ords of the title to the property. It is now a month since the solicitors have gone to New York, getting ready for the battle, and a meeting of the heirs’ representatives will soon be called to meat in New York to for- mulate a plan of procedure. There has been an offer made by the occupants tbro’ their solicitors for a compromise with the heirs, but the offer was not considered at all adequate to its value. The U. S. claim- ants are now procuring proof of their heir- ship. The Canadian heirs are properly rep- resented by attorneys, yet they have not the requisite proof, as required, of their identity to original Robert Edwards. Cap- tain H. Edwards of Komoku, is the Cana- dian attorney, but he has not yet all the proof needed.â€"-London Free Press, March 19th, 1891. Mr. T. S. Edwards and Dr. Gurkin of St. Thom'tfl, 122 Giaimants to an estate valued at $85,000,000. Robert Edwards, who emi- grated from Wales last century, settling where the city of New York now stands, leased 18 acres for 99 years. Tholease expired six years ago, and the prpperty is now the centre of the city, amongst the costly‘buildings erected thereon being A. F. Stewart’s stores. A meeting of the heirs will be held in the office of Purdom «it Parks, barristers, London, to-day.â€"Globe, Febru- ary 26th, 1891. In Frankfork, Ky., this week, about thirty heirs to the Robert Edwards estate of New York, assembled at the court house and or ganized a Robert Edwards family associa- tion. They elected Col. T. B. Ford, chair- man, nnd John Marshall, secretary. A committee of ten was appointed to investi- gate the heirship and title of-the property in question, and to report in Louisville on or before May let. Thc'estatc is said to be worth $200,000,000, and consists of real es- tate property in the heart of New York, most ofit on Broadway. Robert Edwards came from Wales before the revolution, and bought eighty acres on Manhattan Island. He leased the property to the colonial gov- ernment for ninety-nine years, and when the war broke out he went into the army and was never heard of afterwardsâ€"Satur- day Blade, March 28th, 1891.

Gimmesâ€"A family of so~cnllcd Gyp- sies arrived at the Falls on Tuesday morning, having come from- Petcrboro' by way of Bobcuygeon', and “camped out” in their usual style south of the river. They have three- horses and a number of pig dogs, upon which they must set a high value, as they ask $10 each for the pups. The chief occupa- tion ofthe adult male Gypsies is trud- ing horses, while the women sell lace of' their own manufacture and tell the for» tunes of persons silly enough to believe that they can dive into futurity.

At least, two-thirds of the houses and fenccs in the village are badly in need of a coat of paint, and it is to be hoped that some, of them will get it.
