Am Estate Wasted.

The Lewiston Journal says that in August,
1876, Catholic priest named VIM. E. Duffy
died in Portland, leaving an estate valued at
over $4,000, much of it being located in Con-
uecticut. His heirs were four brothers, two
married sisters and the children of deceased
brother, all people in destitute circumstances
From the time of his death until now the
estate has been in litigation and the greater
part of it has been absorbed in legal expenses.
The first administrator appointed was ousted
when it was found he was working in the in
terest of two ladies, friends of the dead priest
but not relatives. After suit in which these
women were beaten, two administrators were
appointed, one a brother of the deceased
Mary Smith, one Of the sisters, poor widow
over go years old, was induced to sign paper
giving up all her right and title in the estate
for $1,000 After the paper was signed she
could not get the money, and became SO poor
as to be weak from want of food. She subse-
quently became insane. A suit lately brought
to recover her portion has resulted in verdict
in her favor of $1,3S7.36, all that remains Of
one-seventh of $4,000.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
AN ApAMLEss EDEN.


A troupe of bright, well-appearing women APP
peared at Portland Theatre last night in the opera
bouffe of can Adamless Eden,'' very catchy,
melodious piece of the French school, Owing to
the fact that the music did not arrive until late
Grimmer's orchestra had no time to rehearse.t the
instrumental paris, but Notwithstanding that cir
cumstance they succeeded much better than was to
have been accepted. The opera was agreeable
disappointment and was greeted by very large
audience. BY request the opera will be repeated
tonight and should draw another crowded house.
