Nkw York, Sept. 11.—[Special]—A Wash-
ington dispatch to tho Herald says newspa-
per readers will recall the publicatiou sonio
three years aj:o of the statement that Thom-
as Beau bad died iu Texas leaving an estate
supposed tn ba worth something like flO,-
OOU.ODU, the only heirs thereto being some
distant relatives thought to ba living in
Washington and vicinity. After t.hreo years'
diligent search the heirs have been found in
Washington ami Virginia, and half of tho
princely estate of 800,UJ0 acres of tho lines:
cotton lands iu the counties of Grayson,
Fannin nnd vicinity in eastern Texas is to
be divided among twenty-one prominent
Washingtonians. Tho other half to go to
the Virginia branch of the family.
Mrs. Sallie Davis of this city will Inherit
one-eighth of the estate, or one-fourth of
the Washington heirs' half. Mrs. Wilkins,
wife of Colonel John 1). Wilkius of the
United States army, now residing here.
Miss E. Middleton, Mr. W. E Howard, Mrs.
Samuel Bacon and sixteen members of the
Bean family, all iu Washington, more or
less distantly related to the deceased Texan
Monte Cristo, will divide the remainder
among them. The other half goes to the
Virginia heirs. The laud is worth from 510
to $£-! per acre, and some is in the suburbs
of the town of Boaham, being more val-
uable.
Tho story is a romantic one, the first
chapter being laid in the year 1812, when
Colonel Collamore of Washington eloped
with Miss Winifred Murray, the daughter
of an old Virginia family. The parents of
tho young lady had discountenanced the
young man's attentions to the ilanghter, so
be boldly carried her away from the Old
Dominion homostead, and they were mar-
ried in Christ Episcopal church, which
stands on Capitol hill, with high-backed
box pews just as they were then. Tho
young couple never obtalued the parental
forgiveness, so they settled down here and
lived a peaceful life. Tho result, of that
union was four children, one of them being
Thomas Bean. When this child attained
bis manhood he grew restless under tho
cramped surroundings of Washington and
pushed out boldly for tho west. For many
years lie was lost sight of, although ho is
now to memory dear in tho hearts of his
hopeful heirs. About three yea>-» ago a local
pape.' p-intod a telegram from Bonham
relating the demise of Thomas Bean and
tho rumor that his only supposed heirs
lived iu Washington.
The supposed heirs, relatives otthe miss-
ing Thomas Beau, Immediately went to
work to ascertain if the 'J'exnn was then-
long lost kinsman. They trailed Thomas
Beau first to Virginia, then to Palmyra,
Md., to Fayetteville, Ark., and finally to
Bonham, Tex., whore, through the medium
of his masonic connections, his identity was
established w'.th the deceased land king.
It seems tho young man after drifting to
Texas became a surveyor, and by thrift and
speculation amassed the itnmenso tracts of
land referred to. Then followed three yean
of harassing litigation, some claimants of
tho legacy, Beans in Tennessee and other
places making a strong effort to establish
their claims upou the estate. The Wash-
ingtonians had the lead, however, and after
fighting the case stubbornly through »ev-
e-al courts, have now, by a recent decision,
established their case.
Thomas Bean died without children, and
the Texas law provides that in such a case
the estates shall revert to deceasud's rela-
tives. who are of cou:-su«t])e Mentis upoti-hla
father's side, and theMurraya of Virginia
upon the mother's. The decision rendered
by dodge E. L. Agncw at Bonham last week
places the estate* in the hands of two ad-
ministrators, Dr. II. 11. Howard and Joel
Hume, who will made the division of the
$18,000,000 property within a yea.'.
