SETTLED AT LAST.
The Hoskins Case Decided in Favor Of
Bishop Nicely.

For a long time the case of Henry A.
Nelly, Bishop of the Protestant Eplsco-
pal Church of Maine, VS.. Sarah A. Hos
kins ct ais, has been before the courts,
and was yesterday decided decided in IA
vor of the Bishop, giving him possession
of the church edifice at Oldtown, winch
has been occupied for some years by the
defendant and her daughters.
The particulars of the case have been
printed on former occasions, but Will
bear repetition here. Ira Wadleigh, who
formerly resided at Oldtown, and subse-
quently in California, in 1866, conveyed
the premises in Oldtown to Bishop Bur-
CESS and his successors upon condition
that it should be forever held for the use
of the Protestant Episcopal church IN
Oldtown." And it appeared at the trial
in Bangor last year that services during
the winter of 1886 were held at the resi-
dence of one of the wardens of the
church, and they were not resumed at
the church during the following summer
as propositions for repairing the church
building were under discussion. In the
fall of 1887, Sarah A. HoslSins, who is
daughter of Ira Wadleigh, with her
daughters, took possession of the church
building, and have ever since occupied it
for the purpose of housekeeping, claim
ing that the condition of the deed had
been broken and the property forfeited,
and the church abandoned, and that as
heirs of Ira Wedleigh they became the
legal owners of the property.
The Bishop was compelled to bring
writ of entry to obtain possession OF the
church. 1t was argued before the law
court last July in this city, and it was
claimed by counsel for the Bishop that
the deed was not conditional deed and
that there had been no conditional aban-
donment of the church. The court holds
that the deed is not upon condition
that can be the foundation for forfeit
ure to the grantor and his heirs, and
that the instrument of conveyance mere
ly creates trust in the Bishop for the
parish at Oldtown. The decision
gives him possession Of the church and
lot.
Hon. Charles P. Stetson was counsel
for the defendants, and Messrs. N. & Fl.
B. Cleaves, with George T. Sewall of
Oldtown, were counsel for the Bishop.

You are Instructed to watch carefully
all incoming cattle steamers from British

may be returned. You are likewise in
structed to require steamship companies
whose vessels arrive from Great Britain
and are intended to carry export cattle,
TO disinfect all buckets, water casks and
forks which may have been landed abroad
and which may, therefore, be liable to
convey infection.
You will inform the owners or agents
of these vessels that the same cannot be
cleared to carry cattle unless your in
structions in regard to this disinfection
are strictly complied with.

The Harrison leaders called meet

assert that fifty or sixty Blaine men
were present to find out what was done.
Clarkson asserts that he himself sent
these Blaine men to the meeting. How
ever that may be, the meeting is the
sensation of the hour.
Tonight the following official notice
was issued from the Harrison head
quarters:
"Since it has been demonstrated by
the unanimous expression of a large
majority of the delegates of the ma tional
convention at the meeting held to- ay
that President Harrison is their choice
and leader of that body in the impending
campaign the question has been asked
by delegates favorable to him whether
his friends will consider the expediency
of his retiring and joining in the nomi-
nation of new man. The uniform re-
ply has been, and will continue to be to
the end, that the Judgment OF the party
having been definitely ascertained to be
favorable to his candidacy, his sup
porters will not participate in any effort
to reverse that Judgment. At no time
will there lie any consideration by them
of any other candidate.
