fering and the loss OF many lives and
the poor deluded blacks had TO get back

His Children Say Their Step Mother L n
duy Influenced Him.

ROCHESTER,, y. y, March 6.--An-
nouncement is made to-day that the heirs
Of the late Fred Douglass intend to con-
test his Will, ard that the legal proceed
ings in the matter may be shortly insti-
tuted in this city.
Douglass had been married twice and
the children by the first wife, Lewis ii.
and Charles r.. Douglass, are named as
the contestants. TWO ye6 IS ago the
estate was valued at S2yO,0)0. Ever since
Douglass last marriage. there has been
a lack Of harmony between the sons ana
Douglass wife. Some little time before
his death Douglass decided a parcel OF
real estate to his wife, at Cedar Hill
where the family lived. 1t is stated that
at different times he gave her presents
of money. The contestants make the
claim that Douglass wife, who is white
woman. and formerly lived at Honoeye,
near this city, exercised undue influence
over their father, and persuaded him 10
discriminate against them. Though no
petition for the probate Of the Will has
been made, II is stated that the sons
Will have little or nothing coming 10
them from the estate. Besides the sons
and the widow, the heirs OF Douglass are
a married daughter named Sprague, and
four grandchildren. G.. y. Lee, the col
ored lawyer OF This city. says he is bound
to secrecy by all parties. ana an effort
VIII be made to settle the estate out of
court.
by those familiar with the domestic
complications it is said that there existed
a. condition of forced neutrality between
the sons and Douglass wife for years.
As long ago as 1880. it is stated that she
began to get possession of her husbands
real estate. Lee. VINO used To be DOu-
HI 80 Val cd af
all responsibility about eighteen months
ago. and at that time it is understood
that all OF the property in this city had
been transferred to Douglass wife.
When the remains were brought TO this
city Douglass wife wore no mourning.
and this fact was made the subject of
much comment.
