A coNTINoENET REMAINDER.
That will Never NIaterialize to Benefit the
Legatees.

The PRESS yesterday published the
statement that the will of the late Prof.
Young of Brunswick left his property to
his family, and that there were some pro-
visions made in the will that, as the con-
tingency didn't happen, were void.
1t seems that when the will was made
Prof. Young and family contemplated a
trip to Europe and the contingency re-
ferred to was this In case his wife and
children by accident by land or sea should
come to an untimely end, Prof Young
leaves all his property of every kind to a
trustee for these purposes. He sets aside
500, 900 for Mrs. Martha Y. Emerson of
Bangor during her life, to go to her
daughter after her death for their lives,
at their death to their children. Each
daughters portion at her death is to be
divided among the others until all are
dead, when the principal is to be divided
equally among all the children and the
trust ceases He also sets aside enough
to pay an annuity of $500 to Mrs. Hannah
Jewett of Pittston $500 to Elmira d.
Young of Bangor; $500 to Mary E. Hatch
of Bath and $500 to her sister Hannah A.
Hatch of Bath.
He gives $1,000 for free bed at the
Maine General hospital in memory of his
mother Betsy J. Young of Gardiner to
commemorate her efficient services to the
sick during her life also 5000 to the
Unitarian parish, of Brunswick, the in
come only to be used for the support of
the parish, and in case the parish ceases
! to exist, the money is to be paid to the
trustees of the Brunswick Public Library
association. To the town of Brunswick
all his rights. title and interest, whether
in bonds or stock, in the Pejepscot Water
company. The residue of the property is
to be equally divided between Bowdoin
college and the town of Brunswick OF
which bequest to the college the trustees
of Bowdoin shall set aside $40, 600 for the
endowment of professorship to be called
the young Professorship of Philology, y
the remainder to form a fund of which
the income shall go to help pay poor
young students college expenses. whose
religious belief shall net be considered
The town of Brunswick shall set aside
one-quarter of their amount for the Pub
lie Library or it's successors, the remain
ing three-quarters to form fund for the
support of the deserving poor of the town,
who have been residents five years before
the date of application.

A Ride Through the Town.

4 A person taking a horse e-car ride about
the city at the present time cannot fail
to notice how attractive place Portland
is. The residences are so well kept,
houses and lawns in such fine condition,
the parks are green and fresh with their
sparkling fountains. that Portland com
pares favorably with any city in the
country.
Among the attractive new buildings in
process of erection, are the flats that Col.
O'Donoghue is putting up, corner of
Emery and Spring streets; a very pretty
brick house on Vaughan street, for Score
tary Lang of the Union Mutual Life In
surance company; the fine house on West
street, owned by Mr. Kinds the
pharmacist; while ground has been
broken at the corner of West and Vaughan
for Mr. W. M. Mark S house. The hand
some block of two houses that stands on
Free street and were taken down to make
way for Mr.. Baxter's new block, are fast
going upon Neal street.
On the hill leading to the Union
station, from Haggett's hill, the curbine
is fast going in and the road next to the
bank, put in shape, for the carriage drive
on the side of the railroad tracks The
electric poles are going up on ST. John
street beyond the offices of the Maine
Central, an Indication that the track is
to be pushed farther along the street,
which is a capital move, and will be ap-
preciated by all the residents in that
vicinity.
At the Union station the officials stated
that the passenger traffic is about double
what it was at this time last summer.
There are not such large crowds at a
time, but the traffic is more evenly dis
tributed.
On the promenades there were numbers
of people enjoying the beautiful scenery,
and the children were having grand
good time. "I never have any trouble with
my children, said one lady, when ]
bring them up to Fort Allen park where
they can look off and see the steamers
and sailing craft {" On Atlantic street
the electric road men were busy laying
the track, and the telephone men build
ing the conduit on Congress street below
Lincoln park.

LIKE A WHARF RAT.
Michael Flaherty Fought and Swan While
Many Looked On.

A great uproar was occasioned on the
end of Commercial wharf yesterday after
noon about 4 O'Clock, by the unusual
antics of Michael Flaherty, worthy who
has long police caurt record.
Some time during the afternoon Flaherty
saw seaman carry bottle of
liquor aboard the schooner W. Parnell
O'Hara, which was lying at the end of
the wharf The bottle in reality con-
tanned paint oil, but to the hungering
gaze of Flaherty it seemed like whiskey.
So in due time Flaherty boarded the
schooner and Investigated the cabin,
whittier the paint oil had been borne.
While there Flaherty was discovered by
James Whalen, who at once took steps to
protect the bottle and it's contents. Then
arose direful tumult. Flaherty seized a
sounding lead weighing ten pounds and
charged upon Whalen. Awful oaths and
cries of ''Tll kill you; I'll kill you, re-
sounded along the wharf and drew a
crowd of loungers, as the battle pro-
gressed ON the deck of the W. Parnell
O'Hara
policeman was also called, and the
obstreperous nature of Flaherty militant
being discovered, the patrol wagon was
summoned.
AS the patrol appeared coming down
the wharf Flaherty dashed over the rail
OF the schooner and dived into the dock.
Then he swan like a fish under the
wharf An attempt was made to follow
him with boat, but SO long as he re-
mained under the wharf he was unassail-
able. After haitian hour however, Flaherty
became SO exhausted that he had to swim
out into the dock where a dory picked
him up when he seemed to be sinking.
When in the dory he attacked one of the
men who f1shed him out.
Finally he was hoisted onto the deck of
the schooner La Crook and there ironed
and then taken to the police station.
Special Police Officer Riley made the
arrest

Foreign Societies Excited.

San Francisco, July 23.-The publica-
tion of Gov. Budd's proposed proclama-
tion regarding semi-military orgapiza-
tions bearing arms, has caused trilnulr
among the foreign societies, who have
arms in their quarters and have been in
the habit of drilling upon state occasions
Officers of the French military societies
are particularly demonstrative in their
talk. They say there can be no French
society without the French flag. Under
nc. circumstances could the flag be carried
with arms.
President Felisetti of the Swiss sharp
shooters said: we will give up our arms
sooner than our flag believe that if we
turn out with both flags, no one can pre-
vent u.s. Any law to the contrary is, in
my opinion, unconstitutional. We will
probably test it, too y The intended
proclamation is stirring up tumuli
which will probably end in the United
States courts.
