Millions in England.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
W AsHINGTON, December ga
paper on the subject of unclaimed eS.
tates in England. prepared under the
direction of Minister Lowell by Henry
White. one of the American Secretaries
of Legation. has been sent by the Presi-
dent to Congress with other State pa
pers.
There seems to be no doubt" Mr..
White says, that many are led to be-
lieye themselves heirs to vast estates in
Great Britain by designing persons on
both sides Of the ocean, who, with a
view to personal gain, insert notices in
local newspapers in the Il nited States
to the effect that large property has
been left by person of the same name
with that Of some well-known famll y
Of the district or Of some exceedingly
common name likely to occur any
where, such as Smith or Jones, or who
distribute far and wide lists OF I'M
claimed estates which do not exist.
Large sums Of money are annually
thrown away by the dupes of these
advertisements and fictitious lists, and
a handsome revenue is made by agents,
as they call themselves for the discovery
of lost heirs and the recovery OF I'M
claimed estates.
" The mOdus opsrandi usually adopted
by these agents is to ask first for remit
lance of two or three pounds sterling to
cover the cost Of copying the will upon
which the claim purports to be based,
then large sum for the expense Of in-
stituting inquiries; and at each sue
cessive stage more blackmail is levied,
the correspondence being so cleverly
conducted that several years frequently
elapse before the fraud is discovered.
None should contribute q dollar to un-
known agents, especially towards any
expenses connected with establishing
claims to estates in this country until

GALVESTON, December 26.-A spe-
cial dated yesterday from Austin to the
Reus says: "Two terrible crimes
were committed in this city last night
after midnight which will undoubtedly
result in three deaths and there is no
telling how many lynchings. During
the past year Austin has been horritied
every few weeks by some dastardly at
tack on servant women, both white and
colored.
Fully a dozen servants have been as
saulted and eight murdered within that
period. The crimes all bore evidence
Of being perpetrated by the same per-
sons. Every effort has been made to
apprehend the criminals, skilled detec-
tives being employed. Many negroes
were arrested and put through rigid
examination, but nothing came of the
efforts. Many citizens and some OIL
Gals hold to the theory that the crimes
were perpetrated by some insane person,
who cunningly devised how he could
shed the women's blood without appre-
hension. About midnight last night
W. II. Hancock, well-to-do carpenter,
residing at 203 Water street, was
awakened by groans. Entering his
wife's chamber he found the vacant bed
covered with blood spots. lie followed
the trail out of the front door around
the house and into the backyard, where
he found his wife weltering in pool OF
blood. She had been struck twice
across the head and face with blunt
axe and her skull fractured. Although
still alive the physicians say she will
surely die from her wounds. Mrs.
Hancock is forty years of age, and a
handsome woman. She bears an I'M
blemished character. In the midst Of
the great excitement produced by this
outrage the people were appalled, at
learning of still greater crime that
had been perpetrated about the same
hour several squares distant. At |
O'Clock Mrs. Phillips, residing at 30S
Hickory street, was awakened by the
cries of her grandson. On entering the
room of her son, James Phillips, she
found the infant on the bed covered
with blood, and Phillips lying sense
less from a terrible blow on the
head. Ella Phillips, the wife, was miss
ing, and the afrighted neighborS fol-
lowed a bloody trail and found her body
lying in the back yard Of the adjoining
premises. Death had resulted from
blow on the forehead with an axe.
Across the body lay heavy rails.
There is no clue in either case. The
excitement on the streets during the
day was very great. Christmas was
forgotten. The Mayor called meet
ing of the citizens at the Statc.house,
and nearly thousand responded to the
call. A committee Of public safety
was organized. The feeling over these
last outrages is intense. \ house-to-
house search for the bloody handed
murdereTs will probably be made.

exposed the whole plan, and the fnan-

from the juvenile colonies in the Blue
Island avenue districts. When the
young scamps were detected and dis
persed the cashier resumed payments
on doubly-endorsed certificates.
