RACHAEL STEvENSON'S HEIRS.
A ColOred Man and Two Colored Women De.
mand Portion of Baltimore Estate.

PHILADELPHIA, JAM 19.-James A. Wright,
colored working man, residing at No 1923 Ivy
street, this city, and two near relatives-Mrs.
Ellen Ann Johnson and Mrs. Jane Trich-have
just discovered, as they believe, that they are
entitled to part of estate in Baltimore valued
at 81, 500. 900, the history of which is quite ro-
mantle. Besides these there are six co-heirs and
heiresses living in Maryland and the District of
Columbia. The matter of the claim dates back
to the latter part of the last century, when the
Chevalier d. Amiens, a member of a rich and
distinguished French house, settled in Baltimore.
For time he had in his service mulatto house
keeper OF great beauty, named Rachael Steven
son, in whom he reposed great confidence. Pre-
vious to his sailing to his home in France he put
all of his property in her name, his purpose be-
ing, it is supposed, to get stronger hold on the
estate, title to which could not vest in him by
reason Of bis being an alien Rachael Steven
son sailed with the Chevalier for France. but tho
vessel was lost, and neither the Chevalier nor
the woman was ever heard of again. The rec
ords show that letters of administration were
granted to William Stevenson, brother of
Rachael, who claimed then to be the only heir.
He died about thirty years ago, on farm near
Baltimore. The present claimants are all grand
nephews and nieces of Rachael Stevenson, and
they contend that the original transfer to her
was absolute no trust OF any sort being made.
One of the properties, situated on Eutaw street,
near Barre, in Baltimore, was sold for non-pay-
ment OF taxes, but the claimants say they are
still in time to redeem it upon payment of the
amount of tax

BURIAL OF MISS BAYARD.
Simple but Impressive Services at the Old
Church in Wilmington and at the Grave.

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. 19.-When the bleak
and dismal rain was turning the lingering snow
on the graves into repulslve slush, the last
prayers were said this afternoon over the mortal
remains of Miss Katharine Lee Bayard The
wretched weather tended to keep down the
throng. but there was enough of it to crowd the
antique church until ingress or egress was i'm
possible Among the many present were Secre-
taries Whitney and Endcott, Colonel Lamont,
Hon. Wade Hampton Senator Gray, Governor
Stockley, Secretary of State w. F. Causey, and
his brother John. Private Secretaries Bryan and
McFlee, Judge Wales. and many others. Secre-
tary Bavard was accompanied by his eldest sur
viving daughter, Mrs Mabel Warren and was
followed by DR.. and Mrs. Kane, the Secretary's
sister, and Mr.. Bayard's sons. Thomas and Philip.
The service began promptly at 2 o'clock with
the hymn Jesus Is Risen from the Dead" the
chanting Of the Litany, and the reading of the
last thirty three verses of First Corinthians XIV,
by Rev. Charles Beck; another hymn, the Apos.
ties Creed. and prayer followed. after which the
Rev. DR.. Martin rector of Trinity parish, led
the sad procession to the grave, reciting the
words of the burial service, Il am the resurrec-
ton and the life.D The casket was then slowly
lowered to its place in the family vault AT the
head of the tomb stood Secretary Bayard. his
daughter, sons and sister, gazing long and lin
geringly upon the fower-canopied coffin. while
at the foot were grouped Senator Gray and
others near to the family. With quivering lips
Mr.. Bayard at length turned from the open
grave, and the sad rites were over.

A CONGRESSIONAL "FLoATER."

An Effort to Secure Place for Mr.. Curtin
on the Naval Committee.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia good deal of curios-
ity has been expressed by several here about the
course it is probable ex Governor Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, who declined the craftsmanship of
the banking and currency committee. will pursue.
The way the matter stands now, Governor Curtin
is without any standing in the House whatever.
He has no committee to work upon. and has
nothing to do to bring him before the House or
the people. He is what they call ''foater," a
kind of probasioner, without any object or aim.
An effort has been made during the past week
to effect some kind OF arrangement with Mr.
Hewitt of New York, who is second on the
naval affairs committee and third on ways and
means, to give up his position on the former COM
mittee and let Mr.. Curtin in. The place held
by Mr. Hewitt on naval affairs is much more
prominent than the craftsmanship of the banking
and currency committee, because the former
committee win not only compile an appropria-
tion bill. but probably decide all the projects
for rehabilisating the navy For while Gov

Indications that the House VIII Spend Less
Time than Usual on These Cases
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-It is altogether i'm
probable that the House will take up much time
with contested elections during this session as is
usual in the first session of Congress- Hereto
fore contested elections have averaged about six
weeks solid time, and there have been as many
as twelve weeks of the session taken up with the
debate of contest. In this House there are bat
four contested election cases, and the committee
have determined to not subdvGe-that is, they
will not make subcommittee and hear the cases
before two branches before reporting to the
House. SO that the reports will reach the House
much earlier than usual. and it is stated by
members Of the committee that they will be dis
posed of inside of a week The history of con-
contested elections shows that there are double
salaries paid to one-nalf of the seats contested
that is, the contestant and contestee are both
paid in ehaf of the instances. It has been
customary where the case has been
doubtful to permit the seated member
to remain until the Congress is almost over and
then to oust him and seat the contestng mem
Der, so that both of them get their salaries. The
member seated would be satisfied because he
got his salary. and the pangs of the ousted mem
Der would be pallated by the money he had
drawn. There will be none of this in this House.

escape from the prison. and had since been
at large. -Four weeks ago he walked into saloon

his friends recognized him. and ne said. as he
displayed two revolvers, II will shoot the first
policeman who lays hands on me-" Tonight
the police learned that Foster and another ex
convict would meet in an Ontario street saloon.
Several officers were detailed to watch the
place. Between IL and IL o'clock they became
convinced that Foster was in the saloon, and that
Conner, Clave and Motter were detailed to go up

companied them. They saw a man sitting on
