THIDDEUS STEVENS WILL,

After Long Contest the Courts Decide
That the Orphanage Bequest Must
stand
LANCASTER, Pa, April 29.-The audi.
tor appointed to pass upon claims and
distribute the balance of the estate of the
late Hon. Thaddeus Stevens in the hands
of Edward Mcpherson, the surviving
executor, filed their report this morning.
They find the residue of the estate
amounts to S50,6S7.90, which in accord
ance with the will is to be devoted to
the founding of home in this city for
INDECENT orphans.
The will directs that no preference
shall be shown on account Of race, color
or religion, and the orphans must not
be bound out. The estate originally
amounted to $16,663.63, and increased
to $43,602.03 in the hands of the execu-
tors. The will devised that if, after
paying certain requests, there was a
residue of $4,000, it should be devoted
to the above charitable purpose. Alan
son Stevens, the widow and the heiress
of Dir. Hhaddeus Stevens of indianapolis,
claimed that as the balance did not
reach $500 without accrued interest.
the terms Of the will We're void and that
they were the legal heirs to it.
The finding Of the auditors is against
them, but ii is probable the case will be
taken to the supreme court. One of
Stevens charitable requests was to the
Baptist church of this city, and the
building erected with the money is now
used as 4 dance hall.

HALIFAX N s, April 20.-The steamer
Portia, from Newfoundland, which ar
rived here at II o'clock last night,
brought Captain Milna and crew OF the
British steamer CaStlegate, which was
wrecked while on voyage from Dantzia
via Tyne, with cargo Of sugar, for
Philadelphia.
The Castlegate sailed from Dantzia
March 7th. Bad weather was encOun-
tered after leaving Tyne on the 10Th.
March Goth, at 150 p m, the Castlegato
sighted ice and the ships course was
changed. The steamer gradually sailed
10 the south, going dead slow as patch
of ice was met and stopping at times
altogether.
When daylight broke on the 9th, ice
was visible in all directions. At 10
O'Clock the carpenter reported water in
the hold. The donkey engine and deck
pumps were started, and so tons of cargo
jettisoned. AT 9 p. IN. the vessel got into
open water, but ice was soon all around
again.
At 3p. m. over seven feet of water
was found in No. 3 hold. The water
gained fast, and as it was dangerous to
continue working in the hold the boats
were provisional and launched and dis
tress signals sent up.
At O'Clock Captain Milna, the last
one on board, left the ship. Half an
hour later she suddenly listed to star
board and disappeared. This was in
lat AZ north, long. 1870 west. The
steamer Diana observed the signals of
distress and the same night took the
crew from the boats and landed them at
ST. Johns, after being 20 days On board.
The Portia brought the crew, which
numbered II, to Halifax. The Castle
gate was lag tons, and was owned by X,

SEAFoRD, April 27.--An unconscious man
was found lying beside the railroad track
one mile north of Seaford, this morning.
From his appearance and papers in his
pockets he was supposed to be Richard
Burke II veteran from the Soldiers Home
at Norfolk. The position of his body and
marks upon the ground indicate that he
walked of or fell from Il moving train,
probably the north.bouni New York &
Norfolk express which passed this place
about l.45 o'clock this morning.
No serious injuries were apparent about
the man. The chill of the night and cx-
rosUre TO the cold rain, which was falling,
would probably have caused his uncon-
sciuus condition without injury.
Colonel i. j. Ross had tie unfortunate
man hroughtto seaford and placed under
