The Aud Brig o. Ayr.
Manchester Guardian.

In the Scotch Court Of Session on Wednes-
day, Lord Young heard parties Ia On action
to set aside the will of the late John Temple
ton, matchmaker, Ayr, who left the capital OF
his estate after the death OF his sisters, who
were TO be ifs-renters Of It, to the town coun-
ell OF Ayr. to repair or rebuild the Aud Brig
O Ayr" when necessary. His lordship was
asked by the plaintiffs to appoint proof
which they maintained would show that the
"Auld Brig" which had stood for period OF
500 years. was likely TO stand for 500 years
more, and they contended, therefore, that the
beuuest was vague, and that the will ought
TO be set aside. His lordship, however, re-
fused to entertain the action, and gave decree
for the Defendants, with expenses, on the
ground that evidence given now as to what
might be the condition OF the bridge at the
death Of the last survivor Of the life-renterS
would be evidence more or less OF prophetic
character, which he did not think the court
could go into Just now. At the death OF the
last survivor the plaintiffs might raise tho
question again.

AN OLD STORY REVIVED.
The Mystery of Aaron Burrs Daughters
Death Explained-A Death-bed
Confession.

CHICAGO, Jan. "A dispatch from Battle
Greek. Mich, announces the death OF an Old
sailor In the poor-house OF Cassopolis, who,
In his last moments told a most remarkable
daughter, Theodosia Burr Aston, nearly
three-quarters OF century ago Mrs. Aston
was the only daughter of the statesman-a
woman OF beauty, refinement, and most ami
able character. She sailed from Charleston,
s. G., on December 30, 1912, for New York, In
the Patriot. The vessel was never heard from
again. It WINS never known whetherShe went
down at sea or was captured and destroyed
by pirates. The death-Ded confession OF Ben
jamin f. Bendick, the old sailor mentioned,
an inmate OF the Cassopolis Poor-House for
some time died yesterday. just before he
died he sent for the keeper and other persons
connected with the establishment and told
them that he had solemn confession to
make. His statement, which was taken In de.
tail by his astonished hearers, was In effect
that the Patriot was captured by crew o.
pirates, of which he was member, on Janu
ary 3, 1873 They took possession OF the YES
sci aud forced the captain, crew and paS5en-
gers to walk the plank.
Mrs. Alston was one of the doomed passen
gers She begged to be spared, but her en-
treaties were unavailing. She dressed her
self all In white, and with Bible Ia her hand
waited calmly, but with a bianched face, TO
the fatal order. When 1t came she moved
silently and with steady step from th
group on the deck, claspfng her Bible to ne
breast. She stepped on the death plank with
out a tremor. 1t was Bendlck's lot to pull
the plank beneath her. The dying sailor say
the scene has haunted him ever since. TIT
white face of the doomed woman walking
| calmly to her death was present In all hi
dreams and scarcely ever left his thoughts
He expressed penitence for his part In tn
| crime. saying he was forced to obey the de
elsion OF the lot at the peril OF his life.
