Dr. LIE Tourneux's trouble dates from

decision has been rendered by Judge
Coffey in the long-contested matter of the
estate OF Mary Redmond, who died jan
uary 13, 1893, leaving an estate valued at
about $50, 900.
Letters of administration were granted
to the husband, Charles H. Redmond, the
deceased, leaving no descendants, no
father, no mother, no brother or sister and
no children of any deceased brother or Sis
ter surviving her. Mrs. Redmond died
intestate.
A numerous crop of heirs sprang into
existence, including some from Boston ard
Others from Ireland. The latter originated
from the fact that Mrs. Redmond had been
also known in her lifetime as Mary Brady
and Mary Kelly. NJ. G. Hassett appeared
for the Irish heirs, Gordon & Young for
the Boston heirs, Milton Babb for the Nc
Nair children aid w. III. H. Hart for the
husband.
After almost continuous proceedings, the
court awarded the entire estate to the hus-
band, on the ground that there was no sis
ter or brother living through whom chain

nieces, the next heirs

The schooner Golden Gate, which sailed
for Cooks Inlet on Tuesday afternoon, re-
turned yesterday in distress. She went 200
miles to the northwest of Point Reyes,
when the main topping lift snapped and
the pump gave way. 1t was blowing very
heavily outside and the little vessel began
leaking badly. AS the pump would not

alarming.
To make matters worse most of those on

HE SHALL BE DAMNED. "
Seneca Swain Has Written a Novel That
Will Cause Stir in This
Eifv

Seneca Swain, after keeping his secret
in his breast during ali these years, has
written and will soon publish novel en-
titled "He Shall Be Damned" and II one
can form an accurate judgment OF its pur-
port from the preliminary information OBJ
tainable it will be book that will arouse
much interest.
The book will expose the methods of the
McDonalds in their banking business, and
will introduce just enough fiction to con-
meet the facts he desires to set forth.S 1t is
said to be a very readable story, plainly
and clearly told, and so full of startling
facts that there will be wave of surprise
in social and judicial circles when the
work appears.
Those who are familiar with the story of
the Swalm-McDonald case of four years
ago no doubt remember that Swain always
avowed his innocence with much earnest
ness and the object of his work is to show
that his claim was justified by the facts.
In brief it is the side of the story that has
never been told.
The book abounds in dramatic and pa
thetic situations, and more than one
prominent person identified with Swalm's

alarmed but they were ill-made so by the
motion of the boat, to which they were not
accustomed. As it would be impossible to
repair the damages at Cooks Inlet, it was
decided to return to San Francisco, and
accordingly, a run was made back to port.
As soon as the anchor was dropped in the
harbor the boys recovered their spirits and
said that they would stand by the ship and
complete the voyage to Alaska.
The crew of the Golden Gate reported
extremely rough weather along the coast
and predicted that more vessels would re-
turn before the storm was over. The
prophecy has already been partially carried
out. On Friday the schooner Bangor re-
turned, reporting the loss of her foresail.
Yesterday on the heels of the Golden Gate
the Arthur came back, having lost her
mainsail. The schooner Rachael also re-
turned, having had her jib carried away.
The schooner Sacramento went to sea
yesterday, and she felt the blow as soon as
she stuck her nose outside the heads. She
had narrow escape from being wrecked
on Mile Rock, and as it was she actually
scraped the rock, losing some of her paint

for the United Kingdom with cargo of

TO IMPROVE BAY STREET.
Property Owners Are Prepar-

Supervisors.
A NEGLECTED THOROUGHFARF
Indignation Over It's Shameful Con-
dition = Money Wasted for
Work.

The residents and property-owners along
the line of Bay street tfromTeavenworth to
Powell are just at present working them
selves into an indignant mood over the
condition of that thoroughfare which
skirts the shores of the bay. They claim
that it has been shamefully neglected by
the Street Department, and that the Super
visors have apparently forgotten that
their North Beach constituents are en-
titled to any consideration in the way of
improvements.
One block in particular, because of its
uncared for condition, has served to stir
up the feelings of the neighborhood. It is
that between Jones and Leavenworth.
The center of the streets cut.up into little
gull1es made by the winters rains, and
teams going up or down the hill are COM

of the glorious Fourth in Ellsworth go
merrily on, and from present indications
the Fourth of 1895 will eclipse all previous
Fourths in point of fun.
Ellsworth will be great place for fire
men on the Fourth. The hose companies

of coming. With the two home compan-
les, his assures six contestants for the
liberal prizes offered for the hose race
But the contest will not only be for the
prize, but for the State championship,
now held by Dirigo, OF Ellsworth. Nis-
ting companies will be given every
chance to carry away the prize and
championship, but they will have to run
faster than they ever did before.
Still the second prize of S75 will furnish
no mean consolation.
The engine contest which will take
place down town in the forenoon,
promises to be great feature of the day.
The prizes offered are a silver pitcher for
first prize and goldlined silver trumpet
for second prize. All hand engines in

REVISING PROBATE BLANKS.
The Commission will Meet at Ellsworth
this Week.

Ellswort h is to be honored this week by
a session here of one of the most import
ant commissions recently appointed by
the governor This is the commission, ap-
pointed in accordance with an act of the
late legislature, to draw uniform system
of blanks and mode of procedure for
Maine courts of probate and insolvency.
The members of the commission are
Judge H. c. Peabody, of Portland; Judge
G.. T. Stevens, Augusta; Judge James II.
Burgess, of Bangor; Register of Probate
Charles p Dorr, of Ellsworth; Frank
Wilson, of Sanford, secretary.
The commission will meet at the court
house here this Thursday morning, and
be in session here Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. The commission comes here
by invitation of Register of Probate Dorr.
The commission must finish in time to
report at the July term of law court in
Portland, the third Tuesday in July.
There is much work to be done. A large
number of blanks are to be revised,
and samples printed in the new form for
approval by the commission. They will
then be submitted to the law court for
approval.
Heretofore almost every county in the
state has had different form of probate
and insolvency blank, resulting in con-
fusion in many cases. 1t was to eliminate
this that the commission was appointed.

Aid. Maddocks introduced a motion
providing that Aid. Maddocks, Brady and

machinery, and tools necessary to build
crushed rock roads.
Mayor Dutton, after reading the
motion carefully, said it would not be
necessary to put the motion in the light
of what he had already said in his mes
sage that such action by the board would
be illegal and void.
Aid. Maddocks-Do you mean to tell
me that cannot make a motion, simply
because similar motion has been made
here before?

a member of this board to persist in put
ting the same motion over and over again?
