A MAINE GIRL IN LUCK.
A Supposed Poor Man Leaves Property
Worth 5000.

Some months ago an old man died in Salem,
Mass, who was supposed to be very poor, but,
on settling his estate property to the value
of $4,000 was found. He had had five child
rem, one of whom, son, was married about %
years ago, and died some time after, leaving
son and daughter to the care of the mother
The daughter soon disappeared, and nearly
every one lost track of her. In settling the
estate of her grandfather, it appeared that no
titles could he given without her signature,
she being of age and therefore an heir through
her father. On seeking her whereabouts, it
was learned that she was adopted soon after
her fathers death by wealthy family in a
Maine city. She recently married a wealthy
young man Of that place. The young woman
has always thought that she was the daughter
of the family who adop ted her. Now in order
to give title to the estate of her grandfather,
the startling intelligence must be made known
to her and her husband, in order that they
may sign the papers. 1t is rumored that Port
land is the city where the parties live. A share
of the property will come to the Maine girl.

United States Circuit Court.

BEFORE JUDGES LOWELL AND FOX.
WEDNEsDAY.-Eben F. Pillsbury VS.. The Farm
ington Village Corporation. This was an action to
recover the amount of certain coupons issued by
the Pennington Village Corporation under an act of
the legislature of this state special laws, 1870 ch
1922 to aid in the extension of the Androscoggin
on the east side of the river. The amount involved
was S9969.97. No question was made as to the
regularity of the proceedings of the village corpora
ton far the issue of the bonds was concerned
nor that the proceeds of the bonds were appropriate
ed to the object authorized by the act; but the main
question in issue was the power of the legislature to
authorize the issue of the bonds This question had
been previously presented to the Supreme Court of
Maine on petition for injunction and after six
years elaboration was finally settled by opinion
of four judges only adverse to the constiutonaity
States Circuit Court to that decision on the
ground that the opinion of the State Court on that
question was not binding upon the United States
Courts as it involved negotiable securities and prin
ciples of general commercial law. The case was
very deliberately argued by Nathan Webb for de-
PENDANT and Charles f. Libby for plaintiff, and is
held under Amusement by the Court

Weddings.

Yesterday Mr.. Richard FL. Turner, of the
we'll known firm of Turner Bros, of this city,
was married to Miss Annie K Hill, of Port
land, by Rev. c. A. Dickinson of the Second
Parish. A host Of friends wish them all hap
piness.
Mr.. William Fl. Milliken, of Portland, was
married to Miss Jennie S. Barker, daughter of
Peleg Barker, yesterday forenoon. Rev. Ed
ward Y. Hincks performed the ceremony at
the BRIDES residence on State street. The
wedding was strictly private, confined to the
brides and grooms families and intimate
friends. The bride wore a superb thick, soft
cream colored brocade silk, the front embroid-
cred in pearls from the hem to the neck, and
the train embroidered with pearls and trimmed
with valuable point lace.
The Bath Times says st Mary's Catholic
church was crowded at noon Tuesday, the &C.
casion being the wedding of one of Baths fair
daughters, Miss Maggie A. Dillon to Mr.. Ed
ward j. Burns. of Portland. The hour for the
ceremony was fixed for II. 49, but long before
that time people began to gather, and during
the wait for the bridal couple Miss Sadie Dun
can from the organ loft played appropriate
music. The bridal party arrived at the church
at II. As and advanced to the altar, Miss Duncan
artistically rendering the wedding march. The
bride was most elegantly dressed in white
muslin and satin with the customary veil
and white flowers. Miss Victoria Dillon, the
BRIDES sister, as bridesmaid was most prettily
attired in white muslin with white flowers,
making very attractive toilette. A friend of
Mr.. Burns, from Portland, acted as grooms-
man in most satisfactory manner. Mr..
James and Joseph Hennesey, of Bath, were
the ushers at the church. Miss Dillon never
looked prettier in her life, and Mr.. Burns was
seemingly conscious of having won for a wife
one of Baths loveliest daughters. The mar
riage ceremony was soon over, and the bridal
| party returned to the residence of the brides
parents, where a wedding reception was held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burns future residence will be
at Portland.

Saccarappa.

AT the special town meeting on Tuesday af-
ternoon it was decided, as mentioned in yester-
days PRESS, by vote of 48!to q, to reinstate
the Greenleaf series Of arithmetics and retire
the Fish-Robinson now in use and introduced
last year. The strong feeling in regard to the
manner of introducing the Fish Robinson
work, and the expense attending it, coupled
with its present high retail price, influenced
The action OF the meeting rather than any real
dissatisfaction with the displaced book.
The meeting adjourned to the afternoon of
the 18th inst. to consider the remaining arti-
cles in the warrant.
