THE EDWAKDS ESTATE.
Two Hundred Million Dollars Will Be Ee ceived By the Heirs. Last March there was a meeting at Crawfordsville of persons claiming to be the heirs of Robert Edwards, a man who came from England to this country before tlia Revolution, and secured a tract of land which iB now a valuable part of Now York city. One of the heirs gives the following history of Robert Edwards "Robert Edwards was a bachelor. lie obtained land from the government, and a pnrt of this land he leased for a number of years. He sent his Government deed and a copy of the lease to his relatives in England, and soon after died. His relatives in England took little interest in his property here, supposing it to be almost valueless at that time. Some years after this the parties who had obtained the lease from Robert Edwards, knowing that he was dead, with no heirs in this country, and that,in all probability, the heirs on the other side would not be likely to make any trouble, concluded to dispose of the property. Years after the death of Robert Edwards many of his relatives left England and came to America. There are now over three hundred of his descendants scattered all over this country. Forty or fifty of them live in this State. The heirs knew that Robert Edwards had property somewhere in New York, but it was not until about one year ago that his papers wore found. One of liis relatives accidentally found tliom in Virginia while looking at some papers that were in an old leather trunk, which the relatives of Robert Edwards had brought from England years ago. The property which t)ie Edwards heir claim title to is forty acres of land in the. heart of the city of Now York. Sinco the original doed has been found the present holders of tho property have ngreed to compromise with the heirs and pay piem about §200,000,000. The heirs, who have signed the agrcmient to compromise, will receive their portion of the money within a few weeks. Each will receive something over §000,000.—Iniiianapiilis fours.
The abovo will bo glad news to the numerous hoirs in this county, but they will feel a great deal gladder when they get hold of that money.

DEATR OF 00L. GE0RGE W. OARB.
Ttie President of Indiana's Constitutional Convention Passes Away Tins Morning.
Col. George W. Carr, ngod 8-1 yoars, died this morning shortly after five o'clock at the residence of his son, exMayor, W. C. Carr. The funeral will take place Snuday ufternoon at one o'clock at !'is old home in Medora, Jackajn county,"the family leaving hero with the remains to-morrow afternoon after short services at the houso by Rev. G. W. Switzor.
George Whitefiold Carr was born October 7, 1807, in Clark county, this State, lie passed his youth amid the hardships of pioneer life and during his early life removed to Lawrence county. He took an activo part in politics as a Democrat of Ihe old school and in 1838 was elected to the Stato legislature there held in oflice until appointed registrar of the land oflice at JelTersouvillo in 1852. During his services in tho legislature Mr. Carr was one of the most prominent members of the llouso and was tho leader of tho Democratic party. In tho winter of 1849-50 the great constitutional convention of Indiuna was held and Mr. Carr
waB
tho President, presiding over tho momentous deliberations with rare judgment and discretion. When the land oflice was abolished in 185-1 he re moved to his grandfather's old homestead noar Medora, Jackson count)'. In 1801 he abandoned the Democratic party and became a Republican, so thoroughly was ho to tho Union. In 18(52 ho organized tho i)3id regiment of Indiana volunteers, being elected its lieutenant-colonel. lie served until Juno 1 -J, 'G3, when at Vicksburg his health gave away completely and he was obliged to return to his home. lie had never been well since and passed his life quietly lit Medora, until his wife dud in 1880 when he came to this city to live with his son. Ho retained his residence in Jackson county, however, and returned there in all the important elections to cast his vote for the Republican candidates. In lh"2"lie was the Republican candidate for Congress, from the third district, but was, of course, unable to overcome the overwhelming Democratic majority. Col. Carr' was a member of McPlierson I'ost, G. A. R., of this city. He was in all things a typical American and intensely loyal in all things to the country he loved so well. lie was subject to much hardship in his life, bc7 iug reared in the Stato when it was a perfect wilderness. Ho was one of tho few remaining links which connect us with the past heroic history of lloosiordom. IIis life was simple and his deeds wore good and ho leaves behind liitn a life noted for its worthiness, patriot sm and rugged worth.

ALASKANS USE DECOYS.
Thrv Carve Weml to Hcprcrtout: i'np Seals, Ducks and Even l.iircc 11-th. Shut up in a drawer in the National, museum where no one lias the privili-ye of seeing them is a curious collection of decoys. Perhaps the funniest among them is a pup seal about f-.iot and a half long, quite artistically carved out of wood. its little paws a:-c folded across its chest, and it is intended to lloat on its back ujxn tho wutrr, just as the animal it represents does in real life. However, it is not meant as a decoy for mother seals, as may be imagined, hut as a lloat for tying a fish line to. Fishes, rcchgnixing the innocence of pup scuts in peneral. are not, likely to suspect that one would danjrlc a hook and line to catch them.
This is an Alaskan'decoy, of course. The natives of that region employ decoy ducks made of wood in similar fashion—not to attract real duel within reach of arrows or bullets, lint a floaters merely. To the floats, set a-s\ miming in tin: rivers, lines arc attached, with hooks und bait for salmon. So ordinarily wi ,c salmon would be „fraid of a duck. So these fish bite eagerly at the lures suspended from the counter-j fcit birds in the water and arc eaught.
Another very queer decoy in the drawer is a (ish cut out of wood and painted white. No label states, unfortunately, precisely how it is cmployed, although it is certain that it is a countcrVit intended to attract somo big fishes.
Hig salmon could swallow prey of such a size, und it may be designed as bait for them. Think, however, adds the Washington Stur, of the disgust which would be felt by any scaly ogre at finding that he had taken in a wooden fish one foot loogl

A Writer in Truth says that William Steinway, the great piano-maker, when cornering any one of the numerous applicants who are constantly before him for positions, has a crucial .question which he applies tJ them all. He will examine a man's qualifications, look into his antecedents, and balance him personally with a few careful questions, and then he asks the applicant if he married. There is some secret about tho answer which Mr. Stein way alone knows. If a man answers in a certain fashion, the great piano millionaire concludes that the 'applicant is happily married, but if there is a certain intonation of the voice or a hesitancy which indicates a separation or a lack of domestic tranquillity, the applicant's doom is sealed. Marriage is an institution indorsed by Mr. Steinway in every way. An unmarried man has a very small chance with him.

A New 'OIojij,
Phenology is the term proposed for a study of tho periods of blooming in flowers. In some parts of the worlil flowers appear with tolerable regularity—so much so that floral calendars havo been based 011 the fact, and various flowers have been dedicated to saints and 'church festival days because of blooming at special fixed times. The snowdrop, for instance, is known in Catholic countries as "Purification flower," from its blooming on the fourth of February, the festival of the Purification. Our St. Jolin's-wort is so named from its first flowers opening 011 St. John's day and so of other flowers. In our climate, however, phenology will not have much show as a science, except as it may show the unreliability oi these 'times of 'flowering. There is, at times, a month of difference between one season and another, and sometimes a flower that blooms the carliestof all one year will be far behind others in another year.
Animals Avoid DraughtK.
Said a prominent physician to a reporter for the Philadelphia Press: "It's a singular thing that animals as a rule are much more observant of tho ordinary rules of health than human beings are. One half of tho serious eolds and many of the fatal fevers originate through tho exposure of the body to direct draught of air from a window to a door or between doors or windows. 11 Is one of tho most common- things to see overheated persons on a warm day with coat and waistcoat off enjoying what to thein seems to be an agreeable breoze between two open windows. A day later they feel badly, have taken eold and they can't tell where. A dog will lie for hours on a porch, in tho room, or hallway, but the veiy moment open doors or windows allow a current of air to touch him, he jumps up and changes his lounging place. You can't force a dog to lie in the draught ho knows tho risk and invariably avoids it."
