The Sir Francis Drake Estate-A
Fortune for SOmebOdy-The Tonnes
see brakes.
The Bowling Green Democrat published
the following article a few months ago:
Gan interesting piece of intelligence has
been upon the air in Bowling Green for
some weeks, but we have hesitated to give
it publicity through the columns of the
Democrat lest it might prove too good to
be true. We have taken some pains to
get at the bottom Of the glad news, and we
find that there is really sound founds-
ton. It's all about an English fortune
coming to heirs in the United States, some
of whom are our own neighbers and dear
friends. This is the story:
"AbOut eighty-hve years ago Sir Francis
Drake, of England, left a large estate to his
American heirs. The property has remain
ed since then unclaimed, the heirs them
selves being definitely unknown. Some
fifteen years ago information of the exist
ence Of the unclaimed fortune came to the
family of brakes in Kentucky, Middle Ten
nessee and Virginia, but no clear steps were
taken to establish their claim opon it, and so
the matter quietly rested. Some ten months
ago the subject gained new life, an investi-
cation was put on foot, and the lines Of de-
scent were carefully traced TO the great an
cestor. That investigation has led, with
apparent certainty, to the establishment of
the fact that the brakes of Middle Tennes-
see and their near kin are the true heirs,
and that there are unclaimed in the Bank of
England Sl20,000,OO0 to be divided among
them.
''Steps are being taken to bring this
whole matter to definite result, and most
gratifying information on the subject has
been conveyed to the claimants within the
past few weeks. These facts we gather
from one Of the heirs in this city ; for we
rejoice to state if the chain of evidence,
now apparently complete, shall be unbro-
ken, we shall have several heirs 10 the
English fortune in the very midst of us.
Mrs. 81. D. Glenn, who resides in the vicin-
ity Of Oakland Station, in this county, and
her three sons, II. D. Glenn, T. j. Glenn
and z. o. Glenn, of this city, are direct and
near descendants of Sir Francis Drake.
This fact is regarded as indisputable. Mrs.
Glenn is one of the oldest and closest repre-
sentatives of the original family in this
country, and several other members of the
family reside in Todd county, in this State.
Certainly this is very gratifying intelligence.
There is not more estimable family in this
county than the GlennS. The gentlemen
Of the name who are engaged in business
here are upright, intelligent, industrious
citizens,and are universally esteemed. They
will become very rich in the division of the
English estate, their proportion ranging
from three to four hundred thousand dol
lars each. Sincerely do we hope that all
they have such reasonable grounds to hope
for will be realized, and that we shall see
them soon enjoying the prosperity which is
now foretokened for them"
We hear that the Tennessee brakes have
employed Gen. w. B. Bate, of this city, and
j. P. Benjamin, of London, to prosecute
their claim as heirs of the great navigator.

Daring Burglary.

Between three and four o'clock yesterday
morning burglars entered John O'Malley's
grocery store, Nos. 1858 on Church street.
The flapper to the back door was bursted
off, showing that they approached from the
rear. In this room negro named Tom
Tony was sleeping with his head in two
feet of Mr.. O'Malley's trunk, containing
three new suits of clothes, besides shirts and
other articles of personal apparel. The
trunk was found next morning on a plat
form in front of the back door, rified of its
contents, which were valued at 5000 or
more. The burglars also entered the store
room through an unlocked door connecting
it with the part of the building where Tony
was sleeping. From the store-roOm a
quantity of groceries, including a lot of
snuff, bunch of keys, in which was one
belonging to the stable stalls, were stolen,
and the front door left open. Mr.. Brien
Kelly was sleeping in the store room,
but was not awakened by the
burglars who were in close proximity to his
couch of repose. A policeman passed by
on his beat between three and four o'clock
at which time there appeared nothing to
arouse suspicion. In about fifteen minutes
he returned and stopped as was usual to
awake Mr.. Kelly, when much to his surprise
he saw the door standing open and Mr..
Kelly fast asleep. 1t is evident the burglars
were in great hurry, being most likely
frightened off by the policeman, HOr they
would have taken more than they did. The
money drawed was rifed of its contents
amounting to about So in change and pair
of Mr.. O'Malley's boots, which were near
the trunk were found in q back alley where
they had been taken by the burglars. The
key in the front door is also missing. Cur
city is infested with well organized gang
of burglars who evidently understand this
ayocation and know the nature of the
houses selected for their yillainous work.

New Advertisements.

On our first page this morning will be
seen the advertisement of the new firm of
Morgan, Thomas & Co., exclusive whole
sale dealers in Notions, White Goods, and
Ribbons. We are glad to see these gentle
men moving in the direction Of classii-
cation, move which the interests Of Nash
vile, and the trade patronizing this ma rket
lave been demanding for years past. 9th
er markets have held out induce
ments to the the trade legitimately
belonging to us which until now, Nash
vile has not been able to offer. The
organization of this firm completes the eS-
tablishment of competing classified houses,
and our entire business community begin
the spring trade with a stronger argument
in favor of Nashville than they have hereto
fore been able to offer. Yesterday we were
cautiously shown through the splendid
new store of this firm, in the City Hotel
block, which contains four floors each $50
feet in depth by % feet in width, all Of
which are heavily stocked with all kinds Of
goods in their line. We were particularly
struck with the immensely of their stock Of
bleached cottons, containing all the different
grades, and occupying an entire side and full
length oftheir first floor. Another prominent
ment of Ribbons of all grades and prices.
We will not attempt to describe in detail
all we noticed in going through the house,
but will say that everything in their line,
that is needed by the retail merchant can be
found there. The firm is composed of live,
active, energetic young men, who are wide
awake, and have had long experience in
the wholesale business of Nashville, fact
80 l., Il,
sideration of the trade. Their sagaciOuS
senior, while growing old in years still re-
tains all Of his original commercial activity,
and justly ranks with the first of business
men Of the State. We regard the organi-
zation Of this firm as the beginning of new
era in the business of our city, and trust
the friends Of Nashville viii encourage the
move by their patronage.

The Edgeheld and Nashville Street
Railroad vs. the Broad Street Bridge
Company.
This cause was heard yesterday before
the Hon. A. 5. Marks, Chancellor, sitting
by interchange with Hon. E. II. East.
The Edgefield and Nashville Street Rail
road Company and the Broad Street Bridge
Company agree upon the following:
1. The railroad company viii suspend the
running of its cars over the track as laid on
Bridge street, or bridge embankment, until
the 18th of March, unless negotiations for
an amicable arrangement should be sooner
made.
2. At the end of this time if for any
reason no arrangement has been made, the
railway company is to enter into bond, with
good security, payable to the bridge com
pany in sufficient penalty to pay to the
said bridge company such compensation as
1t may be legally determined to be entitled
to for the use of said bridge street or en-
bankment for its cars, and such damages as
the said bridge company may have hereto
fore, or may hereafter sustain by the run
ming of the cars on said street, unless the
bond is rendered unnecessary by the bridge
company applying for an injunction as here
after provided.
9. The Railway Company will dismiss its
bill, and assume all the costs Of the cause
heretofore accrued.
4. If the parties do not come to an ami
cable arrangement within the time mention
ed, they mutually agree to submit the ques-
ton between them to the decision of the
Court, either by an agreed case, if one can
be agreed upon, and if not, by waving ser
vice of process in any suit or suits either
may institute, either at law or in equity, and
agreeing to prompt trial of the
issue which may be made according
to the course of the court, or by consent,
either party having the right to apply for in
junction or other process that it may deem
needful under such proceeding.
It is thereupon ordered by the court
that the bill be dismissed with costs, for
which execution may issue against COM
plainAnt and its security for the prosecution.

Horse Thteres at Work.

Night before last some unknown parties
entered the stable of John Buckley, on West
Cedar street, near the Penitentisry, and
stole two of his hack horses, one ofwhich was
blind. A negro states that while he was
standing in front of the Ku-Klux Saloon, on
Broad street, about twelve o'clock that
night, man rode up on a blind horse,
which he Immediately recognized, and said
aloud, was Mr.. Buckeyes blind hack nag.
The man said he swOpped horses with Mr..
Buckley that evening, and did not discover
the horse was blind at the time. He soon
rode away, saying he had been cheated in
the trade, and was going to take him back,
etc. Of course this was all untrue, being
only to lull suspicion.
81 Y esterday morning Mr.. Buckley went out
on College Hill, and found his horse loose
on the pike, near the Water-works. Moth
ing has been heard from the other horse,
