MILLIONS' FOR PETERSONS. THE OLD CITY PROPER SAID TO BELONC TO AN ESTATE. ! j Detdi* Hiddt-a In au Arm-Chair?A Man Paid i to Steal Them?Hnntioq tor the Dexceudaaia of Gabrtel P?tlenwon. (Philadelphia Times, Jane 20.) PERSONS OR FAMILIES IN' ANY WAY RE-* iated * ith the Peterson (Pettersson) family, which settled in this country in the l"th century, will find it to their own interest to report their names and addresses to llcl Ogden street, Philadelphia. Rev. Martin J. England, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Church, on Ninth street, below Buttonwocd, lives at 1031 Ogden street, the sddress given in the above ad A man Darned Peterson, who thought he might have an interest in the matter, called at Mr. England's home last evening in quest of information.- Pastor England is quite a handsome man, of about the mt dium height and rather stoutly built. He has a large, full, clear cut face, adorned by a full sandy beard. A pair of big, laughing blue eyes shine through a pair of goldrimmed spectacles. His appearance is one that at once inspires confidence and makes the visitor feel completely at his ease. When Mr. Peterson stated his business, Mr. England said: "The gentleman wLo advertised is not here, but I act in his place. The ostensible reason for getting the families together is for a grand family ruinion. The people we want are descendants of Gabriel Pettersson, who was active in- lie Revolutionary War. The family name.*was originally Pettersson, but it has been modified to Peterson." SK,;.C 2HILL10XS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED. ?- - " ? t :J . Upon lurtner questioning ue saiu: jujc reunion w not the sole reason for our advertising. There are millions and millions of uoiiais worth of property inTolved, atid we 'with to find the heirs to this property ^. and all descendants of Gabriel Petterrsou. There is a great deal of property in this city involved. sty, indeed, the larger portion of the old city of Philadelphia and extending down the river to Wilmington, where there is also a very, large tract of land which was ori^jnaliy^jhe property of the Peterson family, WViiave advertised in Wilmington for the heirs-oi Gabriel Petterson, but in advertising in this city we thought that simply mentioning the Peierson family would be sufficient. "We do not receive many callers through the advertisement, but I have received a * ? ? ? 1 r-w * V> great UUUIUCI Ul iCbldO, r> itio. uicjjauxcccwu L_. addresses of people who may.ormaynui be descendants of Gabriel Petterson. a THE PE1TERSS0XS OF SWEDEN*. "The Petterssous who came and settled in thie country were all good people aiid all highly respectable. They were king's officers, army and navy officers, and somt eventually became officers in the American armies. Of course, you will understand that it is quite difficult for the people to be positive that they are of the same family, although it is quite a large one, numbering fully 500 persons. Intermarriage wilt English and French families by the Swedish families might have the effect of obliterating a portion of their pedigrees. Then, again, we must have a person's entire family cistory in the shape ot a sworn affidavit, chnwinf that he is reallv a member of this family. "There has been quite a contest going or; for years over tliis estate and I believe thai the people are now going to see what car be done to reclaim it. Some of the familj are quite wealthy. There now one Peterson in Wilmington worth over a million and a half. HIDDEN IX AX OLD ABU-CHAIR. "During the Revolutionary war the deeds and papers belonging to this estate were all lost and for years and years nothing was ever known ot them. "For a number of years mi old arm-chaii lay knocking around from one place to an other. Nobody wanted it or would, have anything to do.with it. Finally it was made _ . . a prese.nt.to a man named Smith, who is a well-to-do ana.quite prominent lawyer. One day while making some slight repairs to the chair he made quite a discovery. Concealed ix. the cushion of the chair was a drawer or box. and much to his - amazement, concealed in this compartment . were the long-lost and much-wanted deeds and papers. Mr. Smith, howfcver, has succeeded' in holding on to them ever since, not they will do him a penny's worth oi good, but simply through personal spite. The papers can no doubt be recovered afiei his death, bu* it is desirable that they be got hold of as soon as possible. No one has ever seen these papers, yet everybody knows that Smith has them and won't give them up, as he holds them secure through some legal technicality. A THIEF PAID TO STEAL THEX. "Numerous efforts have been made time / and again to gain possession of the papers, hut without avail. Some years ago the parties who now advertise made a gigantic effort to get hold of them and spent fully $5,000 doing so. So great was the desire to get hold of the papers that an attempt was made to rob SmitJi's-hQ^^an^t^ -. jcas actually employed, a&successful. I te; jr~" ? ym, sir, J?rfny name was Peterson I woul hunt the matter up and make diligent ir quiries as to my pedigree, and my advic to you is to do the same, for you may fin< that you are entitled to a portion of thi great property and will probably eventual! gain your share. "If a reunion of the family takes place i will probably not come oJff until fall, a ~ - these people are now away from the city We are expected to learn of all. the member of the family if possible, as we arenotdom advertising yet "and shall do considerabli more of it." There are 168 Petersons in this year': directory, four Petersens and two Petter sons. 1 [Philadelphia Times, June 21.] Lawyer J. Ernest Smith, of Wilming ton, Dei., who is alleged to be the custodian of the valuable papers belonging to the Peterson estate, is at present attending ih? Chicago ConventioD. A reporter yesterday visited. Wilmington to verify the statements of Pastor England and trace the Peterson family, whose claim to millions of dollars' worth of property was published yesterday. The story that the deeds to the property were held" by Lawyer J. Ernest Smith, ' . who, it was said, found them in an old arm-chair and that a man was paid to steal thpm wssthA rniiin tnnio r?f pnnuorMtinn in "Wilmington. Arthur H. Smith, the younger brother of Lawjer Smith, was seen at his office. He disclaimed all knowledge of the armchair, or of the existence of such papers. He said, however, that an attempt had been made to rob his brother's house some years ago by a man who was so disguised as to make his appearance very much like that , _ of Lawyer Smith. He never knew the obr" ject of the attempted robbery, as the fellow succeeded in making good his escape. A visit was next made to Lawyer Smith's home, at 1006 Jefferson street, but there f was no one at home. vtrr tatkai.t/s statement. His mother-in-law, Mrs. Tataall, whose grounds adjoin those of Mr. Smith, said: "There is an old chair in Mr. Smith's house, but I don't believe that it ever be longed to any of the .Peterson family. I know that it has no secret drawer or box, and I never heard anything of his haying - any papers belonging to that estate. There was an attempt made to rob his house some years ago. There were large numbers of people, mostly young women, in the house that evening, and all were going out to a party. The man got into Mr. Smith's, room, and when he was discovered by a servant, he said to her: "Won't you come and shake hands with me?" The girl at once spread the alarm, but the thief made go<xi cis escape, i never Knew tnat he had any particular object in trying to rob j the bouse, yet it may be a queer coinci- j rdence that there was a good deal of jewelry ' in the room at the time, which he did nor ( touch. I don't believe that Mr. Smith i knows anything of these papers of which i you speak." iLlbert Smith, the father of Lawyer [ Smith, lives at 613 Washington street. He . . said that his son had been interested in the 1 Peterson case. He thought that he had ? been asked to represent the claimants at * , one time. He knew nothing of the Peter- * son family or their papers, and had never | tMWMMMM??L??M??W before heard the arm-chair story, although he remembered the robbery. f Walter Tat nail, who is a brother-in-law j T "KVnuo* Vmii'h erVM -whnsp wife is a 4 direct descendant of the old Pettersson ( family, said that he knew nothing of the j matter whatever, but if such papers exist < od he would have heard of them through J his wife. The only other person in Wilmington ' who could be located as a descendant of the Pettersson family is Paschall H. Peterson, 1 of 1101 French street, who was yefterdav ! appointed a police sergeant by Mayor-elect ' Harrington. < THE rETTERSSOX FAMILY. The story as published has created a great deal of comment in Wilmington, as the "* '- ? i 1 ? ?.?. .vw/v ' tlia AMoot in reuerssou iauiiijf ?* viic ui uc uiuu? tbe Slate cf Delaware and has always b en known as a very wealthy family. The first member of the family to land on these .shores was Cles Petterson, who came here and acquired a tract of land 62x300 feet, on April It), 1657 Following him came other members of the family, and tbe amount of property which they "acquired was simply t-uormous, one grant alone covering what is now the city of Wilmington. This grant was made on April 16, 1675. John btallcop on that day conveyed to Samuel Petterson <the greater part of iris estate, beginning at a thornbush in the middle of French street and on a line with the south side of Water street, thencc easterly up the middle of French street to a point between Third and Fourth streets, thence by a northwesterly course acros3 the square a-. Fourth and Market streets diagonally to a s>take near Rattlesnake run, thence in a southwesterly direction to a small rivulet flowing into the Christiana, river below tbe point below the point at I'ront and West efrorttc This tmrt. of land covers the entire business portion'of the town. Another large tract of land was granted to Hans Pettersson, who settled in Delaware before 1668. .His lancTstarted on Vertrecht Hook and ran^long the Delaware to the Rockland manor^ & "distance of two miles. He lived on this land between Vertrecht Hook. *sjg.I ijjti&rjpot creek, and the quaint old bmldro^T which was then called a mansioa, Estill standing, looking somewhat the worse for wear. A large number of other members of the family were found, to' whom vast amounts of land were granted. OLD OFFICK-HOLDERS. The family were w< 11 known and several , of them held public office. Adam Petters| son was appointed a Justice of the Peace on June 8. 1695. and Andrew Pettersson tilled the same office from August 5,1726. ' Hans Pettersson was a member of the New I Castle Council in 1685. The family and their property can be ' easily traced aatil as late 1787, but after mat all traces of them were lost, and in no instance is the name of Gabriel Pettersson 1 mentioned, although the fact is referred to [ that some of the family engaged in the > Revolutionary war. The fact is also on s record that the family was among the first i founders of the Swedish Church in this I country. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Chicago, June 21.?la the reading of the platform today, the denunciation of the Mills bill and the endorsement of the Republicans in Congress were greeted with [ applause. The platform denies that the Democratic \ party ever restored one acre to the people. it favors the total repeal of the internal . revenue rather than abolish protection. It ! says that the officers of Territories should I be residents of those Territories It favors . the admission of Dakota and endorses the action of the Senate in the matter. , It declares that the political power of the Mormon Church is a menace too dangerous to be tolerated and pledges the Republican party to stamp out polygamy. It demands > a reduction of the letter postage to one i cent. It condemns the efforts of the adi ministration to demonetize silver. It protests against the passage of the free ship bill, and demands appropriations for navy and coast defense. It accuses the administration of lemling ! money without interest to pet banks. It . states that those who deserted the party in 1884 have deserted the cause of reform in i the civil service. The soldier pension plank was greeted with prolooged applause, i "pRESEXTESTG THE CANDIDATES, i At 11.17 the presentation of candidates < began. Connecticut presented Hawley's t name.

He said that the Indiana people were disappointed with the rejection of Gray by ; the St. Louis Convention. His speech was biographical, and there was but little enthusiasm over it.

I Loxdos, Jane 21.?A dispatch from St. I Paul de Loan do, dated yesterday, says: "Several deserters from Stanley's expedition have reached Camp Yambunga. _ They state that after traversing Upper Aruwhimi Stanley struck into a rough and mountainous country, covered with a dense forest. The natives who were excited by reports spread by the Arabs, disputed the passage of the expedition and there was [ continuous fighting. ! "Stanley was severely wounded by an : arrow. He was compelled several times to construct camps in order to repel attacks, and was obliged to nsp thp TPf&rva nrnm. sions that were intended for Emin Bay. The Soudanese attached to the force had all died or disappeared. The deserters esti mate that the caravan lost one-third of its men and they say many of those remaining were ill, including the Europeans. "Stanley was encamped when the deserters left. He was surrounded by hostiles and was^mable to send news to Emin Bey or directly to Yambunga. Major Bartellot had returned to Yambunga, where he was awaiting the men that Ward was col lecting to form a powerful expedition to go to the relief.of Stanley. The sickness at Yambunga was lessening, but only 80 of the 125 z.anzibars survived. Tippoo-Tib recruited 625 men to form two caravans and started by the interior about the end of January. Ward left Boma on May 20 for Leopoldville, where he was to embark men and provisions in the Congo State stermer fcr En Avast for the Aruwhimi.

I" fin CAUGHT Bt A KISING TIDE. The Perilous Situation of a Party of Hash ! Kmrlixll BoTi. (From the >:ewcaai.le Chronicle.) Eleven boys, ranging in age from 11 to 14 years had a most extraordinary adventure on the b~ach at Seaham Harbor recently. At the south side of the town there is a rock projecting from the mainland, known as Nose Point, on the top of which are~built the Vane and Seaham blastfurnaces. Underneath is a large : cavern, locally known as the "Smuggler's I Cave," which at high tide is filled by the sea. Among the boys referred to, the exploration of this cave and the unearthing of the treasure of some buccaneer of the past had long been an object to be accomplished, and a determination was at last come to to carry out the project" at the first fitting opportunity. Saturday was fix6d upon for the day ot\A thfl-y started off. headed by a trusty leader and provided with candles, lanterns, torches, a pick and shovel. Entering the cavern at low water, they commensed work, and soon were so intent upon the object of their labors that they never heeded the turn of the tide, and it was only when they found escape from the cave by the way they had entered impossible that they realized their position. The water drove them further and further back into the cave, until they found it impossible to recede further. To avoid the rise of the water several of the boys climbed as high up the walls of the cave as possible. Others had no alternative but to stand pressed up against the end of the cavern and allow the water to gradually creep in upon them. Higher and higher rose the water, and deeper and deeper the lads became immersed until some of them were covered up to the shoulders. They all managed, however, to-keep erect, notwithstanding their weakened condition, procured by shouting for help and numbness from being compelled to stand in the wacer. Now and then a broken wave would dash in among them, rendering their position still more perilous. * Moreover, the cave vriis nearly dark, 'all the lads' lights having befcn put out exoept one, which had > escaped the wash of the waves and continued to give forth its feeble illumination. Ore of the boys at last, from sheer want of strength, was washed from his I ? holding; but soon another lad standing , j near groped in the dark, and, with nothI ''nor hnf, thA cries of his comrade to guide 11 him, succeeding in restoring him to his > I feet. In the meantime the lads had been ! missed from their homes, and their continued absence caused inquiries to be i made. This resulted in their wherej abouts becoming known. A rumor then * got abrof d that all the boys had been drowned, and soon fathers, mothers, brothers, sister and a large body of othei men, women and children rushed off in | eager haste to the top of the cliff. There (was no way of reaching them from the shore, nor was there any possibility of going down the precipitous face of the cliff with ropes. .Nothing could, mere fore, be done by the hundreds of people who had collected but to wait until the * fall of the tide would admit of access to the cave from the shore." Meanwhile the imprisoned bovs passed a terrible time; but j ast when they thought the worst had > come the water stopped rising. Slowly ths water left the cave, and in & short 1 tim*6 they felt themselves in comparative safety, although in darkness. It was, however, 10:30 o'clock at night before they were rescued. A Mother's Terrible Crime.

New York, June 18.?Fred May, the well-known man about town, who some years ago fought a duel with James Gordon Bennet, of the Herald, is again in trouble. He was standing tonight at the corner of College Place and Warren street, amusing himself by making insulting remarks to several women who passed him. In one instance he caught a woman by the arm and attempted liberties with her. She went to Patrolman McGowan, of the Leonard street station, and informed him of what had occurred. He went to May and ordered him to move on. May used insulting language to the officer and then went away a few steps, but immediately returned, yelling in a loud voice: "You told me to go away, but I will not" As he spoke he drew a revolver from his pocket and attempted to shoot the patrolman. McGowan was too much for him and dealt the burly loafer a blow on the head with his oak night stick which stretched him senseless on the sidewalk. When he :ecovered he went to the station with the officer very quietly. May lately thrashed a. fire-eating man from Kentucky who was looking for blood and '-shoot," in the New York Hotel.
