FORGOT HIS HOME WEALTH. It ft Fortune la Cellforala to Become Rich la Coat a Africa. t- Another strange discovery haa coma to light In the Hlbernl. Bank deposit that, have been neglected for many years by tholr owners. It appears that Jeremiab Pendergaet, Ion mourned aa C'ini, Is llve ami prosperous In South Africa, where be has made a fortune. It Is learned that he haa apparently for gotten that 12,000 await him In tha HI tern la Bank of San Francisco. The history of Tendergast's deposit la one of the roost Interesting of all the old estate that have lain unclaimed fotv yeara In tha vaults of San Francisco banks. In the first place It now amounts to f 12,000, being the largest turn of all the unclaimed deposits; and. In the next place, It has perhaps been more widely advertised and more generally claimed than any other sum In the list. Strange ly, however, nearly all the Fendergaeti, are the real owner seem to have beard, of this money and laid claim to it, whllq the original depositor baa lived quietly In South Africa all these years, heedless of the fact that his gold lies In the bank awaiting the owner's orders. Attorney Oscar T. Shuck haa Just located the original Jeremiah Pendergast In the Congo Free State, where tha old man lives In great luxury, having amassed a large fortune since he went there as one of the pioneers of nearly twenty years ago. "Pendergast went to South Africa In 1S78," said Attorney 8huck, "being one of the leaders of a California colony, 'lie left a good sum In the bank here, since which time no one has ever heard of him until I got word that he was well and rich. The nearest trace we ever got of him here was that he was at the old Empire Hotel on Pacific street some time between 1868 and 1870. Hundreds of alleged heirs have been after the es tate, but it will no doubt, soon reach the original depositor." j A strange fact about the case Is that j the nubile administrator recently petl- tioned for letters of administration, al leging In a general way that Pender gast died some years ago In Nevada. Judge Slack went so far as to appoint Atorney J. J. Dwyer to represent tne absent heirs, but Attorney Shuck sug gested that Pendergast still lived, whereupon the letters of administration were withheld. It in quite probable that the claimants were really Induced to believe that their ancestor died In Nevada, where an old miner named Pendergast ex pired In a fire that destroyed his cabin and himself at midnight in a mountain fasmess. They will soon learn, how- ever, inai me irue ClSt, WOO leil a w uotimiw """'"?f.tm In the Hlbernla Bank to 1S68, went to South Africa with only a little money, and is now grizzled with age. but gilded with gold also. The real heirs to thit strange pioneer lived In Massachusetts. The bankers and attorneys, as well as the public administrator, are won dering why the pioneer of '49 deserted his gold here, even to become a pioneer in the African gold fields. At any rate, the money Is safe. The distribution of a living man's funds has been prevent ed, and $12,000 now awaita the owner's order. San Francisco Chronicle.

For a short time yesterday Christian Soli and John P. Green, two old prospectors, be Ueved they said good-bye to poverty and had jumped into rlohea that olonded tha fame of Monte Criato from view. They were the possessors, they were confident, by means of filing a mining olaim on a portion of the ocean shore near the oliff bonis, of the rich est quicksilver mine in tha world. A moderate estimate of its value they thought would reaoh 110,000,000, and as the ledge was on property owned by Adolph Satro, a they thought, they believed they could aoquire it under tb mining law. The dream waa abort-lived. Tbey bad soaroely left the oity ball, after filing their mineral notice, when they learned that they bad looated on a pieoe of tha Presidio, instead of tha possessions of the mayor. With this knowledge away went shimmering dreams of untold wealth, for title to military reservations is beyond the reaoh of tha oaveat of the law regard ing mining claims. But even in the faoe of this disheart ening turn of fortune, Green and Soli atill hope, altbough an inaurutable and immutable band bad banished them like Adam from their Eden. Tbey hope that the government will allow them to develop as muoh of their olaim aa lies between the lines of high and low tide, tor even with this morsel from the feast they think they can ao quir wealth enough for all praotioal purposes.

Merchant ftoeenbloom, of Omaha, was today re fused eitisenahip papers in the district court because he could not name the number of representatives each state has in congress. Judge C R. Soott, who has obtained notoriety through in arbitrary course on the bench, pre sided. ' Rosenbloom was subjected to a severe fire of orosa-questiona. He answered correctly aa to the manner of electing a president in this country, the re quirements of a foreign citisen desir ing to become naturalised, the number of senators snd representatives in congress, and the number of senators and representatives Nebraska has in oongraa, but when asked the number of representatives from each state, be waa stumped. He offered to name ggjm 0f them, but this was not satis factory to the court Becoming some what indignant,Bosenbloom exclaimed: I am only a plain business man, your honor, and do not have the time to study up all these questions." "That does not make any differ ence," haughtily replied the court, "if the people don't know any more about the requirements than you do, they should never be naturalised." The oonrt closed the book with a slam, curtly informing the applicant that he talked too muoh and could not get hia papers. THE ARGENTINE WRECK. The Dlaastar Waa Dae ta a Deaaa Fog Prevailing; at the Tuna. Kansas City; Oot. 13. A ouriout combination of wrecks took plaoe in the Santa Fe yards at Argentine. A dense fog caused the trouble. Font trains were wrecked, but, strange to say, only one man was hurt, and be not fatally. An eaatbound freight train, in trying to enter the yard, was stopped by a switch that refused to work. Before the trouble could be remedied, spe oial freight, which was following close behind, came along. On account of the fog, the danger aignala were not seen until too late. The second train dashed into the first one, , wrecking the engine and several cars. Hardly bad this collision occurred, when passen ger train No. 8 crashed into the rear of the wrecked special, and a few min uses later passenger train No. 3, the California limited, plowed through the rear cars of No. 8. The only person hurt in these wrecks was a switchman named Gdbrge Slater, who bad bis arm broken and his head badly cut. His injuries, although painful, are not considered dangerous. The passengers were somewhat shaken, but no one else was injured. The damage to railroad property amounts to $50,000. Coal Mining Decision. South McAllister, L T., Oot 12.

Sharkey was informed of the latent phase of the attempt to make a match by Dan Lynoh. Shar key, who ia thoroughly beut on fight ing: and who ia desperately in earnest, became quite indignant "I will wait and bear what Corbett has to say in hia letter," aaid Sharkey. "If be does not mean buatness I will leave for the East and will make either Corbett or Fitssimmons fight or I will stamp both as pretenders and ihow thein up to the world." Sharkey waa asked if he was satisfied with the winner taking all of the $10,000. "That ia perfectly satisfactory. I do not want a cent if I lose tbe oontest" Sbarkey told hia frienda that Corbett and Fitasimmona were "dead" ones and related how tbe Antipodean waa willing to give a bag punobing exhi bition twice a day for $150 a week. Thia is one of the reasons that makes Shaikey think that both Corbett and Fitxsirumona will have to fight in the near future. Ta Develop Corean Mines. San Francisco, Oot 13.
