GERMAN FAMILY'S FORTUNE. A telegram from Stolp, in Pomerania, recently brought the romantic story that an artisan family in that little town had inherited £36,000,000 from an intestate relative in America. The chief beneficiary, a widow of 60, who lives in two rooms of a dilapidated house in a mean street, expects to receive between £2,400,000 and £3,000,000.
