ORe of the Family Tells the story of

The statements made in the newspapers
IN regard to the children OF the late s. B.
Blackwell appearto be full of errors. Mr..
y. L. Blackwell, Ga son of the late s. h.
Blackwell, who married the widow Nor
thropl and wel.known citizen
Df Savannah, stated in a conversation
with a Representative Of the MORNING
NEWS that his father died six
years after the death OF mis- second wife.
Upon her death the husband took
the TWO children, the boy and girl by
his second marriage. TO Tennessee, where
they rem lined some time. Subsequently
he returned 70 Savannah, and soon after
placed bis daughter in the Savannah Fee
male Orphan Asylum, anu the boy Ia an
institution In Macon. Mr.. Blackwell died
an 1882 OF malarIal fever contracted while
working On the river. The chill
dren, 10 VIII be seen, were
looked after and provided for by their
father up 20 the time of his death.
BIZ George NOrthrOp, who is reported
20 be looking for the children, is their
halEbrotheT, but be has no legal right 10
take charge Of them. Mr. Blackwell
further stated That che Northrop estate was
divided between bis heirs. the Northrous.
:. - icrb axe hut DldcA Wen tAIidfen nANln2
nOclaim up0nit. The story OF there beiuga
large sum OF money TO be divided proba-
bly, arose from an old claim of G.. b.
NOrthrop's estate against the government
Tor cotton captured during thewar. This
claim has long since been disallowed,
though a law firm i'm Washington pre-
tends that here is still a chance for it's
collection. 10 Is probable that this Is the
claim that young Northrop referred TO
when he said that the Slack well children
were entitled 60 q large sum Of money.
MIR. Black well also slated that he does
not propose % give up the chill
dren; they are his half brother
and sister, and are Blackwells,
and the NOrthrOps have no right or claim
10 them. The children are f. aud 70
years OF age, respectively. Mr.. Black

death, and The latter knew al that me
