THE FATE OF AARON BURR'S
DAUGHTER.

An old resident of Washington said in
a recent conversation: The late of The
odosia, the beautiful daughter of Aaron
Burr, has been one II the appalling rs
teries OF sudden disappearaHcees at sea.
She was married to Governor Allston, of
South Carolina, a name distinguished in
the annals OF that State. She sailed from
Charleston for New York in the ship
Patriot, on December 20, 1912, on a visit
TO ber father The vessel was supposed
to have been either engulfed or captured
by pirates for it was thought that no soul
had survived to determine the awful
doubt as to its fate or that OF lis passen-
gers One account particularly arrested
public attention, and that was the pur-
ported confession Of d pirate, Domnlck
You, which Charles Gayarre incorporat-
ed into his brilliant, romantic, philosoph-
ic Ferdinand de Lemos" 1t is so
graphically drawn that many persons
thought at last that the fate of Aaron
Burr only daughter was known. Ap
old sailor named Benjamin F Burdick
died recently a pauper in Michigan
poOr-house. On his deathbed he made
the startling confession that he was one
of the piratical crew that captured a yes
sci usmed the Patriot, and participated
in the murder of Theodosia Allston at sea;
indeed he declared that it fell to his lot
to pull the plank from under her. She
came forth arrayed in white, holding a
bible in ore hand, and, with heroic mien,
took her place on the slender instrument
of death, and without shudder or quiy-
er of a muscle, was precipitated into the
waves. The noble, unblanched face,
erect and airy form, he said, had haunt
ed him all his subsequent life. The
date of the vessels loss, January,
1913, was correctly given by Burdick,
and the name Odessa Burr Allston was
his only error; and yet this was not an
error, tor the name of both father and
husband are sufficient Identification.
The corruption of Theodosia into codes
sa' would be natural to an ignorant sail
or, and, if anything, tends to prove that
he had not been reading up to make him
self sort of death bed hero. At any
rate, the confession is plausible, for the
reason named

MATT. CARPENTERS ESTATE.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Matt. Car
penter's estate has finally been all settled
M. The result is $3.50, 900 in cash. Mrs.
Carpenter and her daughter, Mrs. Lily,
are in this city spending the spring months
with Mrs. Carroll. She lives in large,
old-fashioned house on the corner of sew
enteer th and F streets, lust opposite where
Don Piatt used to live. Mr.. Carpenter
never could save any money; in fact, he
never tried. It is surprise, therefore, to
many that his estate has amounted to SO
much. He relied upon his large income
from the practice of his profession tor all
the needs and daily expenditures, He
carried a large life insurance, so that he
would have no need to save anything for
his family. This life insurance amount
G to $40 600. Congress gave Mrs. Car
penter $4,000, one years salary of the
Senator The stock in The Sentinel
brought to The estate $4,000. The sale
ofthe b)ok on the Law Library brought
$1,000, and the Congress will undoubted-
y purchase his records and briefs for
which $4,000 are asked Tho hundred
volumes of the library were ke't back
fcr the use Of Paul Carpenter when he is
grown and shall enter the practice of his
fathers profession. Young Paul has
much of his fathers talent, but not his
ever sunny disposition. He is quite frail
in health His father was equally feeble
when vouhg. but afterward developed in
to robust manhood.
