DISPUTE OYER A WILL.
RESIDUE OF THE ESTATE TO FOUND
A HOME FOR ORPHANS.

The Widow and Heirs of DIR. Tha ddeus
Stevens Declare His viii Void and
Probably the Case VIII Be Taken to
the Supreme Court.
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 sur
viving executor, filed their report this
morning
They find the residue of the estate
amounts to $50, 6s7 80, which in accor-
dance with the will is to be devoted to
the founding of a home in this city for
INDECENT orphan children. 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
SIG, 663 SO, AID increased to Sl42, 692 03
in the hands of the executors. The will
devised that If, after paying certain be-
quests there was a residue of $50, 600, it
should be devoted TO the above charitable
purpose. Alanson Stevens, the widow
and the heirs of DR.. Thaddeus Stevens OF
indianapolis, Ind, claimed that as the
balance did not reach $4,000 withou,
accrued interest. the provisions of the
will were void and that they were the
legal heirs to it.
The finding of the auditors is against
them, but it is probable the case will be
taken to the Supreme Court
One of Stevens charitable bequests was
to the Baptist Church of this city and the
building erected with the money is now
used as a dance hall.
