A VMI-AUELI'ItlA SENSATION. Thc Man Who Inherited S7i?,000,00O. Tho Philadelphia Aye has tim following: There has been a sudden explosion In our higher-life circles-au explosion that has caused disaster, dismay and grief. Some few weeks ago i he announcement appeared that a young mun who, for three years prior, hail been serving tho guests of a Harrisburg hotel with tripe unit browned fish-balls had rallen heir to an immense fortune. Discarding thc towel, thc apron, mid and dispelling that air of servile submission which uti thoroughly-Instructed waiters aro supposed to possess, he launched out into a career of fashionable excitement and flirta Hon. He came to this city. Thc report spread quickly of the fortune willoh, bv thc death of an aunt In England, he had fallen uclr to ; and gos? sip passed it from mouth tn mouth until lt was declared, with his sanction, that ho was thc lucky possessor of $76,000,000. To ant hen t laute all tills, nc would show what appeared lo bo true and faithful transcripts of tho will, deeds, Ac, of this great estate. He became intimate with our Mar? ket-street merchants. Possessing tho open sesame, check and money, he found no dltllculty In creeping Into fashionable society, and then springing up ns a real, undisguised Hon. A certain West, Philadelphia Congressman de? tailed lils coach-and-iwo to convcv this young lord about. Tho managers of a n um her of our charitable Institutions received his notes, promis? ing donations of startling extravagance. He even went so faros to declare his in tent inn or en? riching thc friends who had known him when ho was nothing more than a poor, down-trodden server or tripe and steak, and living In this belier, they Invited him to their homes-treated him in as friendly manner as their means would allow.

What ho did have carried him nlong for three weeks with nil the eclat and individual grandeur that envelopes a prince, ll ls money Is uti gone; ho ls denied wher? ever lils name In known; and tho non-ion now wonder nt their short-sightedness In believing him uidowod with tho wealth ho confessed to.
