Loss OF THE A. c. BEAN.
One Of Portland's Oldest Sailors
Commanded Her.
WORK OF THE RECENT STORM ON
BRITISH COASTS.

Captain Mountfort, Mate Armstrong and
Cook Drake Were All of Portland
John w. Musgraye and Brother, Own
ers-No Insurance
A cable despatch from London an
nounces the loss of the bark A. G. Bean
OF this city. The Bean was blown
ashore on the Irish coast near Donegal,
and totally wrecked in the recent Sc
we're storm. This storm seems to have
been similar to the frightful hurricane
that made the month of August SO mem
orable to mariners on this side of the
Atlantic. and especially among Portland
sea-farers.
The particulars of the wreck are very
meagre. The despatch received here
states that all of the crew but two were
drowned, and that the timber from the
wreck is washing ashore. A despatch to
the New York Herald of yesterday states
that the captain and six sailors were
drowned. There were 10 in the crew.
The Bean left Newcastle, New Bruins
wick, October 18th, with spool wood for
Scotland. She was bark of about $50
tons burden, built in 1874, and owned
entirely by Mr.. ]. W. Musgrave and
brother OF this city. She was command
cd by Capt. Olmyn R. Mountfort, of No.
As Waterville street, one of Portland's
oldest and best known sea captains. Mr..
Musgrave said last evening that he was
probably the Oldest Portland captain in
active service. His age was about 65,
and he has sailed in many fine ships. In
recentyears his best-known commands
have been the John j. Marsh, Fannie B.
Tucker and Ernestine. Capt Mount
forts wife is living at their home in this
city, and a sonin business away from
home. Mate John Armstrong has his
home at no. 81 Centre street, and has
family. Cook Franklin E. Drake is also
from Portland, his home being at 124
Green street. Healso has family.
No further particulars of the disaster
have been obtained 1t is known that
the storm was severe enough to keep
the great Allan liner Nnmidian at her
dock, although those great steamers
generally pay no attention to storms.
Whether all the Portland mariners are
lost or not is a matter of doubt. Two
or three of the crew were saved and it is
not known who they were.
Two Sailors Saved.
Information later than that given
above is contained in an Associated Press
despatch from London received here
early this morning saying that the men
saved were sailors Formoss and Hal
strom. If this is so, all the Portland
men on the bark were lost.

Increase at Compound Interest.

At the birth Of his son father placed
at interest at per cent the sum of 81 900,
and each year invested all the interest at
the same rate. When the boy was 81 years
old, he found himself the possessor of So
599.56. Being young man of pluck and
energy and anxious to try his hand in I'M
aided competition, he told his father to
keep the money and he would take his
chances with the poor boys of his ac
quaintance. When the son was so wears
old the father notified him that his fortune
had grown to over 49, 20, using round
numbers At 10 the father called his
sons attention to his fortune of over S59.-
900, and since the son had received the re-
wards of his industry he did not still take
possession of the fortune The father soon
after died, and in his will required his ex-
ecutors to keep the principal and interest
loaned until the son should receive it CT
be removed by death. The latter lived to
good old age and on his sons Tooth
birthday, besides the accommodations of
busy and prosperous life, was encountered
with fortune of $3.50, 3oo.-Kansas

COLLATERAL INHERlTANcEs.
Are Receiving Property by Will or
Similar Procedure.

Z. c. Reynolds, Esq, and Mr.. Charles
M. Cole, executors of the will of the
late Cyrus Cole of Cape Elizabeth, have
raised in the Probate Court of Andres
coggin county q question relating to the
Interpretation of the collateral inheri-
lance law, passed by the last legislature.
The intention of this law was that when
ever property should pass by will, or by
the intestate laws of the state, to per-
sons other than the deceased father,
mother, husband or wife, lineal descend
ant, adopted child, the lineal descendant
of any adopted child, the wife or widow
of son, or the husband of daughter
of the deceased, there should be tax of
2 1-2 per cent upon all of it above $500.
A question of Interpretation has arisen
as to whether the $500 is to be exempted
from the whole amount going to collater-
al heirs, or from the amount going to
each collateral heir. For instance, if
two brothers should inherit $1,000 each,
which would be $1,000 for both. would
the tax be assessed on all of the $4,000
over $500, or on all that each received
over $500. Having encountered this diff
ficulty of construction, Messrs. Reynolds
and Cole ask Judge Drew to determine
which of the following named devises
and legacies, named in the will of the
late Cyrus Cole are subject to the tax,
and what is the amount of the tax for
which they are severally liable: Devisee

A BATTLE NEAR elliot.
Boston & Maine Trainmen Have An
Encounter With 1ramps.
Mangled BODY of Man Found on the
Boston & Maine RAILROAD Track.

Mangled BODY of a Man Found on the
Boston & Maine RAILROAD Track.
About 7.30 O'Clock Saturday morning
when the fast freight No. ATS, Conductor
Robinson, on the Eastern division of the
Boston & Maine, was just this side OF
Eliot, the engineer saw the mangled body
of a man lying between the rails. The
man had evidently been struck by one of
the night trains as he was mangled be-
yond recognition. On his person was
found watch which had &opped at five
minutes past midnight.
In his pocket was small diary having
on the front page the address of S. A.
Burnett, $50 Bay street, Jersey City, and
on the inside page was the same name
with the address, AZ Midway street,
Peabody, Mass. There were also numer-
GUS other addresses. According to the
entries. in the .diary, the man appears
to have been discharged from the employ
of the railroad for drinking, and one
entry mentioned the fact that he had
signed the pledge.
Shortly after the discovery of the body
boy discovered 80 calibre revolver "
ing between the rails, with one or two
chambers loaded and blood on the
handle. This weapon was turned over to
Coroner Spinney.
The trainmen of the night freight No.

day night between Eliot and Portsmouth.

side of Eliot. and the men were eating
their lunches in the rear car of the train,
when they heard shrill whistle from
the engine and then the sound of men
trying to batter in the doors of the cars
with sledge hammers. Conductor Sawyer
and the brakemen rushed out, and with
such weapons as they had at hand, at
tackled the wou1d-be robbers who num-
bered twelve. There were five trainmen.
The trainmen put the tramps to flight
and then found the engineer guarded by
two tramps who also took to flight. One
of the brakemen was considerably hurt,
and the engineer had been robbed of a
few dollars. 1t is possible the man found
dead between the rails by freight No.
AIS may have been one of the assailants
OF No. 253.
An Associated Press despatch from
Peabody, Mass, says:
Samuel A. Burnett, killed at Eliot last
night and thought to have been one of
the attempted train robbers, was about
% years old and son of John M. Burnett,
laborer of moderate means, who lives
in the rear of47 Midway street, Peabody.
Samuel has worked at railroading in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other
states, his last work being on the Worces-
ter and Nashua road, which he left about
two months ago. His brothers said that
they knew nothing of the particulars of
their brothers death, but supposed he
was trying to board the freight to see
some acquaintance and fell under.
