Our JUSTICE CoURTs-Two law suits

Our JUSTICE CoURTs-Two law suits
engaged the attention of our justices,
last week, both of our courts being in
session at one time. Squire Fisher gave
most respectful and deep consideration
to an interesting case of Joe Braun and
John Everts, in which said Braun sued
Everts aforesaid for the recovery OF an
amount due Braun for whiskey sold or
alleged to have been sold the defendant
hereinbefore named. While the law al
lows such claims, in the light of justice,
the affair was farce and travesty on
justice. \ + Justice Colvin also dis
pensed the law in the case of parties from
Dry Creek, who had misunderstanding
about some breaking or about the con-
tract for the same. The parties in this
were mostly Germans, and the aid of an
interpreter added to the solemnity of the
occasion.

Mr.. William Downing was found dead, sit
ting in his chair with his feet on the window
sill. at the Office of O. s. Shipping Commits
sioner Knapp corner of Fore and Exchange
streets, early last evening.
Mr.. Downing was an Englishman, about rs
years of age, and had passed some forty years
in this vicinity. Since Mr.. Knapp opened his
Office Mr.. Downing had charge of it, and made
the fires, being allowed the privilege of using
the inner office for his sleeping apartment in
return for his services. As a ship-keeper, and
in other ways, he earned enough money to
support himself and had some forty dollars in
his possession at his death: He had no known
relatives in this country. He was kind
hearted, honest man and all who knew him
liked him. Lately he has been failing, land when
Mr. Knapp's clerk, Mr.. Hodgdon, went home
to supper last evening, he told the old man Gas
he didn't seem to wish for anything else) that
ne would bring him some Cruel on his return.
Mr.. Hodgdon did so, but when he entered the
office Mr.. Downing had passed away, probably
from old age. Coroner Gould took the re-
mains in charge and they will be buried by
Undertaken Rich.

GOV. CoBDRN'S WILL.
The Maine General Hospital Put on
Its Feet.
THE MUNIFICENCE OF HIS BE
QUESTS.

In yesterday PRESS it was stated the gen-
eral impression existed that the bulk of Ex-
Governor Coburn's property would be devoted
to the cause of free education in the South I'M
der the charge of prominent Baptists; that
100000 would go to Colby University, and
$4,000 to a public library in Skowhegan, while
the State College, and Maine General Hospital
would be handsomely remembered.
From undoubted authority we are enabled to
say, this morning, that the will was drawn by
Judge Dascomb, one of the executors, and is
said, by eminent legal authority, to be as
admirable specimen of Withdrawing as
has ever been seen. 1t is very clear and cor
else. 1t will be made public next Wednesday.
By the terms of the will, as stated above, the
bulk of the estate will be devoted to education
in the South. Colby University will receive
500, 000-all, If not more than its best friends
had expected-while the Classical Institute at
Waterville, which Is under the care of Colby
will get $75 600. Other requests to Colby in
situations will increase the entire sum devoted
to that University property, to something over
$500, 900.
To the State College at Orono, the Govern.
or leaves the handsome sum of 100000.
Perhaps the bequest of all others which will
especially please all friends of suffering hu-
mainly throughout the State, is that of $780,
600 to the Maine General Hospital. This be-
quest is all the moro generous because the hos
pital is located in Portland and the Governor
was not partial to this city.
The bequest of $4,000 for public library at
Skowhegan is another grand Gift and IL ia
said, his generosity does not stop here.

This old and we'll established house makes
an announcement in our columns today, which
for completeness Of detail and extent of space
is rarely seen in this vicinity. The sale re-
ferred to is the annual sale by the firm, and it
has become one Of the established features of
trade in Portland. The sale includes every
thing in the way of house keeping goods,
linens, gentlemen's and ladies' underwear,
Hamburgs, cloakings, buttons, and in fact
more matters of interest, especially to the fe-
male sex, than it is necessary for us to recapi-
tulate here since the firm tell their story SO
much better in their own way.
Messrs. Eastman, Bros. & Bancroft are al
ways looking forward to attract and please the
best trade of the city. The prices at which
they place the goods offered in their annual
sale cannot be excelled for cheapness compared
with the quality of the stock presented. Then
again the goods are displayed to such advan-
tage, and the clerks in charge are so efficient,
that it is rarely any one leaves the store
without feeling of great satisfaction at the
treatment offered and the bargains they have

ON THE ROLLERS.

SLIGHT SQUALL.
The league game that was to have been played be-
tween the Biddefords and Deerings at the Bijou
last night did not take place owing to the withdraw
al of the Deerings from the league The clubs came
on the floor at nine o'clock as if to play, but Capt
Winship of the behring's stepped forward and in
formed the audience that owing to the fact that
the manager sof the Bilious would not withdraw
his protest nights game that the
Deerinzs would forfeit the game to the Biddefords
and Withdraw from the league. This announce
ment was greeted with cries of both favor and dis
approval but the Deerings left the floor. MANAGER
Whittier then stepped forward and said that if the
audience would wait he would try and arrange a
game between the Bilious and Biddefords or they
could have their money returned. But the Bidde-
fords would not play an exhibition game and so at
nearly ten o'clock picked team came on and
played one goal with thesBijou.s The Bijous played
en- lockwood and the picked team on rubber and
Norway guarded the picked teams goal, Whitney
playing on the Bilious. After one goal which was
won by the picked team three of the lights went
out and the club left the floor and the audience had
their tickets returned to them.
The facts that caused such a mess are as follows
In the game Wednesday night, the Bilious won the
first two goals and the Deerings the next two. The
Bilious put the ball through the Deerings' goal at
the start in the fifth inning, but the referee not
won by the behring's The fact was SO apparent that
the Bilious won the three goals that they protested
board of directors that they might decide whether
the game should stand it was should be given to
tne biJOure OF De played over. Inc Deer1ngs dldnt
like that, but gave notice that they would play
such baby trick as they did; and the affair was
great disappointment to the large audience pres
emit. They do not deny that the ball went through
the goal and the referee even says that he is
WINGED that the game really belonged TO the Bilious
but having given his decision he could do nothing
but refer it to higher tribunal.
The Deerings say in defence that they have been
badly used, and have not had fair show in the
league. There are many. of course. who side with
Them and they are probably justified in their decs
ion that they don't want to play any more for fun
II they don't get the expected amount of fun out of
it: Their fault was in disappointing an audience
who came to see the game, and didn't care sn ap
whether the Deerings withdrew or not if they saw
a good game.
The Deerings could net forfeit the game to the
Biddefords as of course none of their games count
row. Their withdrawal takes away two defeats
from the Bilious, only one from the Biddefords and
W. III. It's, and none from the Granite Citys and
Alamedas; instead it takes two victories from each
of the latter named clubs and only one from each
Of the other three, SO they have unconsciously
given the Bilious quite lift. The following schedule
shows how the clubs stand now:

1t is safe to say that there will now be q renewed
interest in the Bilious games, they are little
the head of the list and the polo ocean is SO
deep just at present that squalls won't go much be-
low the surface, and the air will be all the clearer
after they have passed. The Deerings are all good
polo players and good fellows, and many think they
have made mistake. Probably just as many think
they right. But one thing is certain people want
to polo and they won't kallow their sympathies
with any club to stop them from doing so-not to
any great extent.

The New Year finds us prepared to call your at

inspired by the constantly increasing evidence of
the good 1t is doing. In fact, the indications are
that the great success of this medicine has but lust
begun and that 1t is destined to far surpass any,
thing Of the kind ever offered to the public. The
sale of Hoods Sarsaparilla in 1884 hav largely ex
ceeded those Of any previous year. The people
have been quick to recognize it a valuable prep
aration, unequalled in strength, curative power,
and positive economy by any medicine in existence.
1t is well known that Hoods Sarsaparilla. by
purifying, vitalzing, and enriching the blood, by
regulating the digestive organs, and by toning and
strengthening the entire system, does effect re-
markable cures of scrofula salt rheum, all humors
and affections of the blood, dyspepsia biiousness,
sick headache, kidney and liver complaints, catarrh
and rheumatism. If afflicted, try Hoods Sarsapar-
lila.
