THE BLACKM0RE HEIRS.
Great Interest Excited in the Claim


PrrTsBuRGH, February 2.-Considerable
interest has been excited all over the coun-
try in the claim of the Blackmore heirs to
the site upon which Washington and
Georgetown stands, which had its origin in
this city several months ago. From what
additional information has been obtained
it appears that the Blackmores did not
leave the land directly to the Government
Sam Blackmore leased it to an individual
whose name Mr.. Patrick could not recall
1t was leased for 80 years, the purpose Of
the lessee being to establish a farm on it,
Subsequently this lessee sold it out in lots,
and the heirs now come in at the expira-
tion of the lease and claim possession.
They have been advised by their attorneys
That none of their
Rights Have Lapsed
by any prescriptiye or other law. Among
the latest claimants 10 this vast estate is
Mrs Jacob Bixler, resident of st. Louis,
who was the daughter Of William Black
more. William Blackmore belongedd to
what is known as the Indiana branch OF the
Blackmore family. The Allisons, who for
merly lived in St. Louis, are also heirs, be-
ing lBlackmores on their maternal side.
There are two of the Allisons are now lIy-
ing in Centralia, Illinois, Rose and Joel.
Alexander Wilson, brother of William G.
Wilson, the real estate dealer of st. Louis,
married Miss Allison, whois one OF the
heirs. But the principal Wertern heiress
is Mrs. Patrick, the daughter OF Mrs. Ara
bella Blackmore, who died q few years ago
at the age of ninety-four years. She
was executrix of the estate. Mrs. Patrick
has strong faith in the.validity Of The claim
made by the heirs, and believes the courts
will promptly accord them their rights.
The claimants are represented by some OF
the most eminent attorneys in the country,

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The tariff bill
was taken up after routine business. In
would ask the Senate to sit late tonight,
with a view to finishing the bill this week.
The paragraph on starch in the provision
schedule, which was passed over last night
for the accommodation of Mr.. Hale, led to
some debate. The duty on potato or corn
starch was increased from one TO
two cents per pound. Schedule | (cot-
ton and cotton goodsl came up next.
Mr.. Beck called attention to the
fact that three additional classifcations
were made in the first paragraph. The
whole schedule was badly adjusted and
calculated to deceive, and made a sub
stantial increase upon the present duties.
1t was, however, very adrOitly arranged to
conceal the true state of things from the
public. Unless some satisfactory amend
ments were made he would move to strike
out the whole schedule and offer in its
place provision that upon manufactures
of cloths the duties shall be thirty per
cent. ad valorem.
