the harbor of Eastport the other day flying

others IL was decided if the weather was
good to attempt to get the usual supply.

out a breath of wind The British
cutter was close under the land and be-
Gained, Fifteen boats started from East
port, going down five miles from Eastport

TWO SINGULAR CLAIMS.

Jones, the Other for Interest.

One for Prize Money Due Com.
Jones, the Other for Interest.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-A very sIngu-
lar claim has just been presented to the
First Auditor by w. W. Culver, a New
York attorney. 1t is nothing less than
John Paul Jones tor British vessels cap
tured during the revolutionary war. Mr..
Culver says that he is the attorney for
Walter Evarson, who is the administra-
tor OF the estate OF George Smith, alias
william Jackson, deceased. He says the
prize money was assigned to said Smith
or jackson by Commodore Jones, his
lleutenants and sailors. He says that
the prizes were sent by COmm0-
dore Jones 20 Denmark, and that Con-
gress ordered that they be paid by the act
OF 1S4S. A statute which has been some
what recently passed prohibits the as
signment OF claims, but that does not APP
ply In this case. MIR. Culver has been told
that If he will present his claim in proper
form the Treasury officials will act upon
II. 1t is probably the case that there is
some money In the Treasury for the legal
heirs of Commodore Jones.
Another old clam that was presented
to-day was that OF bill OF exchange tor
interest for $50 bearing date June s, 1882.
IL Is signed by NJ. Hellegas, Treasurer,
and countersigued by Thomas Borden,
Commissioner OF the Continental Loan
Office in the State Of New Jersey. The
COMPTROLLER has decided that the bill is
worthless, as the presumption is that it
has been paid, and at any rate that the
lapse OF 104 years is a bar to payment.
