Heirs to a Great Estate.

James \. Wright. a colOred wOrkingman
residing at 1O2s Ivy street Philadelphia, and
two near relatives, Mrs. Ellen Ann johnson
and Mrs. Jane Trich, have just discovered
as they believed that they are entitled to a
part of an estate in Baltimore valued at 81,
10000, the history of which is quite roman
tic. Besides them there are six coheirs and
heiresses living in Maryland and the District
of Columbia. The MATER of the claim dates
back 10 the latter part of the last century
when the Chevalier de Amiens, member of
a rich and distinguished French house, set
tied in Baltimore for time. He had in his
service, a mLlattO hGusekeeper of great
beauty, named Rachel Stevenson, in whom
he reposed great confidence. Previous to
his sailing for his home in France he put
all of his property in ner name, his purpose
being, it is supposed to get stronger hold
on the estate title. which could not vest in
him by reason of his being au alien. Rachel
Stevenson sailed with the chevalieT for
France, but the vessel was lost and neither
the chevalier nor the woman was ever heard
of again. The records show that letters of
administration were granted 10 VIM. Stew
enSOn, a brother of Rachel. who claimed
then to be the only heir. He died about
thirty years ago on farm near Baltimore.
The present claimants are all grandneph-
eWS and nieceS of Rachel 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
Utaw near Barre. in Baltimore, was sold
for nOn-paymento of taxes. but the claimants
say they are still III time to redeem it upon
payment of the amount of taxes.

The cattIemen who have been in Wash
ingtOn for a week past trying to arrange a
harmonious understanding with congress
men representing districts concerned in the
law relating to the bureau of animal indus
try had an extended conference with several
Texas congressman and have effected a
satisfactory agreement on all essential
points, so there is little ieftSs do now but
nix some details in framing the proposed
amendments TO the existing law.
Ii is learned from several sources that the
anticipated conflict between the President
and the Senate over the transmission of pa
pers will be after all very little more than a
battle Of principle. There has so far been
no especial secrecy about these papers, for
IN more than one case they have been with
drawn from the files of the departments and
taken to the Senate committees This has
been done by individual Senators and the
doing did not imply any right to demand the
papers.
The House committee on banking and
currency believe the law in relation to nat
iOnal banks should be amended in several
important particulars. They ordered that
the bill of Representative wilkins, author
iZing the issue of circulation to the par val
ue of the bonds deposited. be reported to
the House with the favorable reccmmenda-
ton of the committee. \ favorable report
was made ON the bill of Representative Geo.
III. Adams, providing that any national
bank may increase its capital stock by vote
of shareholders owning twO-thirds of its
stock, notwithstanding the limit fixed in its
original articles of corporation. The bill re-
quires tnat this shall be done with the ap-
prOval of the comptroller of the currency,
but otherwise puts no limit upon the power
of those who own twO-thirds OF banks
shares in increasing its capital stock. The
were of opinion that it is unwise
to leave this power wholly without Hmita-
ton, and accordingly Congressman Brunm
was instructed to prepare bill providing
that no bank shall have a greater capital
than S5,OO0OO0. 4 majority Of the commit
tee are of opinion that it would be contrary
to public policy to permit too large an az
of capital in single bank.

Horrible If True.

ACncinnati morning paper prints sim
gular story in the form of an interview with
one Hiram Jackson, who represents himself
as travelling for New York grocery house,
He says, in the course os rambling talk
that he was in Wilkeebarre a week ago and
that while standing at the air compressor of
the Nanticoke mine, where number of
miners have been imprisoned For over a
month, he noticed a sickenIug oder which
he declares to arise from human bodies.
Calling to mind that peculiar rapping had
been heard on this pipe by the rescuing party
he persuaded tie engineer TO draw the air
from the pipes andtbe cOmpr, ssOr was put to
its full test. A bundle of paper was thrown
out and il was found To be blank receipts for
coal digging, on the back of which was writ
ten note signed by William Carver. 1t
says: We have been in this place as well as
can be calculated seventeen days. Ten are
dead and all of Us dying. We have been
living ON the carcas Of mule. IL says that
the imprisoned men fear tire-damp. Upon
his being asked why this was not divulged
at WukesbaTre, he said that h- was alone
with the engineer who drew the letters out
anu he begged Jackson To say nothing be-
eaH-e he was afraid the shock would kill
the women who are Interested in the un-
fortunate men.
