Heirs Sadly Disappointed.
It was commonly supposed that Colonol
William Phillipe, president' of the Alle
gheny .Valley railroad, and one of Pittsburg's
, millionarios, who died last week, was a
bachelor and that his entire rfcal estate
would go to his only brother and sister.
However, it appears that there are other
claimants to the rich inheritance, of this
bachelor millionaire, as he was called.
The story goes that Colonel Phillips was
married years ago to widow ilermingray.
The matter was always kept secret, the
lady, who retained the name of Mrs. He
mingray, having her residence apart from
Colonel Phillips. As a result of this union
five children were born, four boys and a
girl. Mrs. Ilemingray died some six or
seven years ago. Throe of the children are
also dead, and the remaining two, whose
names are William and Robert B' Ilemin
gray, are still living, and it is they who
now lay claim to the entire estate on the
ground that they are legitimate children of
Colonel Phillips, and, therefore, heirs to
the estate.
They have been consulting with their at
torney in the premises, but no doflnate
course has been decided upon, although
the probibilities are that they will sue to
recover the estate.
It is said that there are persons living
who witnessed the marriage ceremony be
tween Colonel Phillips and Mrs. Hernia
gray, as well as some who have seen the
marriage cor ti Ilea to. The estate of Colonel
Phillips is worth millions of dollars, and
there promises to be a lively legal contest
for the possession of it.
, Extraordinary Disaster to a Hotel.
1 . At b.tlf-past 2 o'clock on the 17th Inst.,
the reservoir located in tho top story of the
Lindell Hotel bt. Louis burst, with the
report of a cannon, emptying its contents
over the entire building, to the damago of
not less than (30,000.
The workmen employed in tho erection of
f the building are accustomed to refill the
reservoir at night for use on the ensuing
day. The tank is located in the top story
of the structure, and is filled by forcing the
water through pipes leading thereto. The
capacity of the reservoir is stated to be
twenty thousand gallons.
Those who were superintending the
work this morning state emphatically that
but eighteen thousand gallons had been
emptied into the tank when it burst, and
the conclusion seems irresistable that the
accident resulted from some defect in the
construction of the reservoir. The water
percolated down through the building,
ruining the plaster and stucco work employ
ed in the decoration of the rooms in the
lower stories, and resolving the basement
into a miniature lake.
Collision A Steam Tug Sunk.
New York, April 21. The steamer Eleo
tra of Providence and N. Y. line, and the
steamer City of Boston, of the Norwich
line, while rounding the battery into East
River, and both endeavoring to escape col
lision with a ferry boat, collided with each
other. The Electra struck the City of Bos
ton amidship, bursting her larboard boiler
and cracking her steam chest. Nobody
hurt The passengers of the City of Boston
were transferred to the steamer Rhode
Island, and taken east with only an hour's
delay, ..
The City of Boston was towed to her
dock where she will discharge and repair.
The Electra which bod her bow badly
smashed returned to her dock and forward
ed her passengers by another boat. To
night, during tho excitement in the harbor
over the accident, the steam tug B. J.
Christian was sunk by the tug Camilla,
while both were going to the assistance of
the City of Boston. Crew saved. v
'The imminent danger to New
Orleans from floods seems to be passing
away, as the Mississippi is reported falling.
The numerous crevasses have relieved the
river and saved the city. The Mayor of
New Orleans has made an urgent appeal
for aid for tho distrssod people of that
city, and a hill has passed through Congress
for the Issue of Government army rations
to the Buffering in various parts of Louisi
ana. The freshet in Mississippi and Its
tributaries and bayous this spring has
caused more overflows, crevasses and de
struction of property and crops in that State
, than has ever before been known. The
stage of water in the Mississippi rose seven
inches higher than at any previous period.
Killed by Virus from a Felon.
A woman in Laper, Mich., took her
husband's knife a few days ago to open a
felon ; shortly after her husband used the
knife to extract a sliver from his hand, and
inoculated himself with the virus of the
felon. His hand began to swell and In four
hours he was a raving tnanian, and in less
than forty-eight hours died.
Killed with au Oil Can.
A man named. Laws, at Mazomauie,
Wis., lost his life recently in a singular
manner. He was oiling some machinery
md full in such a manner as to drive the
spout of the oil can into his head imme
diately under the eye-ball.
t3ST " And so they go," said a member
of a Boston school commitee;" our great
men are tint departing first Oroeley, then
Chase, and now Sumner and I don't feel
very well my self." .
