A MYTH.

THAT IS THE SIZE OF THE "HOUSE ESTATE. United States District Attor ney of Mary land Says No Such Estate Exists. The publication yesterday of the House estate matter has called con siderable attention to this myth, wmcn is oeyond question a mvtb. It seems to be a peculiarity of the human make-up to want something for noth inir, and that is what makes the thini? dantrerous. The parties who are pushing it are no doubt sincere in it, and believe they have a claim . that has a foundation, but the trouble is they do not investigate thoroughly and those who g to them ( r advice take it for granted that thev have done so and do not do it themselves The Joss in a money way is not larg-e to individuals, but is larje in the ag--reate. The thing has the bad effect of raising anticipations which cao never be realized. The Townley-Lawrence estate myth cost this county thousand of dollars and virtually broke one man up in business som years ago, and was pushed until the Knglish government issued a formal declaration that there was no such estate. There have been many othersof the same ilk. Once in a whilt there are estates which are ah right and realized upon, but they are nevci surrounded in such mystery and unreliable legend as these cases. Tht Lamb estate was recovered here many years ago. There are concernsin New York who make a business ol looking up doubtful estates, and they systematically milk their dupe.-, while keeping within the pale of tin Jaw. If these dupes would only g to reliable parties they could soot find out that such immense estates a these would be known to the govern roent, who would give any informa tion as to their existence on request The "heirs" of the "House estate' have recently been H. Hiking here by scores and the receipts of mail by Mrs. Adams, the alleged secretary, and others have attracted the attcn tion of the government. The Uuitec States district attorney of the statt of Maryland was requester some time ago by th United States jwstal authorities at Washington to investigate the mat ter of this estate and report to thi department. This has been done, and the report was that there is n such estate and never has been. Mrs Adams, to whom we referred yesterday, was notified by th authorities not to use the maiU for money in this connection undet pains of prosecution. This is th straight of the matter. A gentleman was in the P.u.i.a T U M ottieo today, who stated tha he had been sent as a representative of about forty "heirs" in Ken tucky to investigate the matter. 1I is but one of many. This section ol the state has een worked hard anc so has the section of Ohio which if adjacent. Preble county has paio well for her experience. mill KurrcuderiiiK. Washington, I). C, April 11. Gen.

The more that is heard of it ihtnore does it appear that the grant mg of the franchise to John Chipmati a Cambridge City the other night for a traction line through that citv neans practical progress along that line for Richmond. Mr. Chipman was here for a few lours that night but could not bt teen, so wliat can be baa here is sec nd-hand; but a prominent citizen vho knows him and his financial onnections well says that he s a business man atid a promoter vho does not throw away his ime chasing rainbows. lie als ays that Mr. Chipman and his issociates have control of the trac tion line from Indianapolis to Green ield, which is one of the very sue essful lines of the state, and that he s tacked by good temple and ample -apital. The same gentleman says and cnows what he says to be true that Mr. Chipman has an option on tht Richmond Traction company's line in this city and has had it for three nonths, with money to buy it. Thus we have a good line in opera tion for a third of the distance from iere to Indianapolis on a direct line: he same company has the franchisi rough Cambridge City, and an op oion on the street car 'iue in thiscity.

Regarding General le Wet's mental Condition, reports have been very conflicting for some time. His recent inactivity points to there being some truth iu the rumors which allege that long continued hardships under the harassing British pursuit, have unhinged his mind. On the other hand a correspondent of the Times quite recently acknowledged the "wonderful foresight and fertility of resource" which characterized I e Wet's retreat from Gape Colony. As otiring the previous abortive negotiations', the British press again loudly insists on "unconditional surrender." but, with the budgetary necessities staring the country in the face if negotiations are reopened, the Boers, ns the I'aily Chronicle remarks editorially, "may reckon on fair treatment" at the "hands of the British.
