IMPORTANT LAW CASE.
Hon. OrviIIe D. Baker Of Augusta One Of the
Leading Attorneys.

Hon. Orville d. Baker of this city has
been engaged on one of the largest and
perhaps the greatest will case ever con-
tested in this State. 1t is the Harrington
will case of Portland, of which Ira p
Harrington is the testator The amount
of property left is about 81, 900, 900 and
from this amount between S4OO. 600 and
100000 is disposed of by the residuary
clause in the will.
IWo-thlrds of the amount has been
bequeathed to the Maine Eye and Ear In
Urinary of Portland and one-third to the
Portland public library The questions
raised are regarding the validity of the
requests included in the residuary clause
OF the will, especially the bequest to the
Rye and Ear Infirmary. which involves
alone from $3.50, coo to $3.50, 900. @
The contest is made by the heirs at law
OF Mr.. Harrington, who claim that these
rcsiduary requests being illegal and void
hold that part of property invested in
the heirs at the date of Mr.. Farrington's
death, and through their counsel they have
notified the executors not to pay over ally
of the residuary sums named in the will
The matter will be contested at once by
bill in equity brought by the heirs at
law represented by Hon Orville d. Baker
of Augusta and Clarence Hale of Port
land. The executors are Judge Putnam
aud Judge Haskell Judge Symonds of
Portland will appear as counsel for the
estate.
The questions involved are questions
Of law and are wholly new in this State
One of the chief points raised is on behalf
of the heirs that by the public laws under
which the Maine Eye and Ear Infrmary
was incorporated that corporation had no
power to take property by devise or be
quest to an amount exceeding s100,0
1t is claimed that institution already
has property of nearly that amount, and
that the whole or the bulk of this bequest
to them in this will is therefore void and
must go to the heirs as intestate estate.

EDWARDS MILL.
Improvements Will Be Made Costinq About
$4,000. Chiefly in New Machinery.

The Edwards Manufacturing Company
OF this city, will, in very short time, make
some very extensive improvements to its
large plant 1t will put in SO spinning
frames, and change ~, 900 Sawyer spindles
now in use for the McMullen fast running
spindle, which will necessitate an expen-
diture of about $40, 600.
The company does not do this from the
fact that it has made SO much money dur
ing the past few years that it does not
hardly know what to do with it, but in
order to keep up to date in the manufac-
ture of cotton cloth, and to keep the mill
in first class condition and equal to any
that may be found in any part of the
State. There are so many mills being
built in the South. equipped with new and
modern machinery and having cheap
labor and long hours, that the mills in the
North must have the best of equipments
and the most complete machinery in or
der to compete with them. So says the
management of the Edwards mills.
This mammoth plant was started in
1882 and since that time has been very
largely increased. The spindles in opera
ton at that time were about 30, 600 and
now number over 100, coo. which after
the change planned will all be in first class
condition. When the plant was first started
about $50, 900 yards We're manufactured
a week and now the output is over 675,
600 yards week The number of hands
employed when the mill was started was
$50 and now over 100 are daily engaged
in labor about the plant. The pay roll
now is about S24, 600 month. This will
give some idea Of what great industry
Augusta has and it is being increased.

uOcIflulSm eX1SC1nS III EnSlanQ as re-
CARDS the gold valuation is so blind that
when the time of depression sets in there
will be this special feature: the economi-
cal authorities Of the country will refuse
to listen to the cause here foreshadowed;
every possible attempt will be made to
prove that the decline Of commerce is due
to all sorts of causes and irreconcilable
matters. The workman and his strikes
will be the first convenient target; then
speculation and overtrading will have
their turn. Later on, when foreign ma
tons, unable to pay in silver have re-
course to protection, when a number of
other secondary causes develop them
selves, then many would-be wise men will
have the opportunity of point
ing to specific reasons
which in their eyes account for the fall
ing off in every branch of trade. Many
other allegations will be made, totally
irrelevant to the main issue, but salts
factory to the moralizing tendency of
financial writer's. The great danger of
the time will then be that among all this
confusion and strife England's supremacy
in commerce and manufactures may go
backwards to an extent which cannot be
redressed when the real cause becomes
Piled" Nothing could better show on
what just philosophical principles bimetal-
lism rests than this picture in 1871 of
events to begin with demonstration in
1873 and continue until now and as much
longer as we shall permit.
Our gold advocate friends in the United
States sometimes admit and sometimes
deny the appreciation of gold This
contradiction does not seem to worry them
at all, and they go right on manufacture
ing, even in the same editorial, wholly
irreconcilable arguments in behalf of the
gold standard as cheerfully and innocent
~ as you please. For example, the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, commenting on my
answer to it's inquiry is to where I stood
on the coinage question, was guilty of
saying, on the same day and in the same
column, that "the appreciation of gold
is a theory only, incapable of
proof refuted by the whole range of
economic facts" and that International
bimetallism, mark the language, please,
"'would largely prevent those acute fin
ancial crises and disturbances which re-
suit from the eager and simultaneous
rush for gold by, the great banking CEN
tiers In periods of actual or threatened
financial stringency." The Minneapolis

power ana ClVlnZaClOn or the Roman en-
pire was more largely due to the insidi-
Gus and frightful effects of an appreciat-
ing money standard than to any other
cause. A similar result could scarcely
follow the same cause in our country to-
day, but the alternative to a timely,
lawful, prudent and honest solution Of
the difficulty is even more terrible to
contemplate. We bimetalists are the true
conservatives and the real friends Of the
peace of the Republic. We desire justice
to be done by the orderly procedure of the
laws, and so speedily that there shall be
no danger Of an appeal to anything beyond
the laws, an excess in which laws and
justice might perish together.
The effects of the appreciation Of gold
might readily have been foreseen by men
who understood the science of money and
the teachings of history. There were such,
and some Of them have left on record
their forebodings Many years ago, before
the nations had become crazed by the
misunderstood example of England and
had not so generally gone to work to SUBJ
due the world to a money bondage,
Jevons wrote as follows: II am far from
denying that if the Italian government
decide to carry into effect M. Luzzatti's
threat Of buying gold at all hazards, and
if the like course be taken by the United
States and France, not to speak of Ger
many, there might be considerable dis
turbance of values for the time. But is it
likely that such proceedings will be taken
by rational statesmen and rational parlia-
ments? It is really too absurd to suppose
that any country will insist upon having
a gold currency at any COST" Alas! for
the fallibility of genius. Even Jevons
could not forsee that so many parliaments
would prove irrational and that great
countries should be so snitten of the gold
standard he advocated as to pay their
life-blood for it.
A STARTLING PROPHECY.
No prophecy of economic effects from
observed causes, however, has probably
ever been made so unique and startling
in it's insight and accuracy as that of
Ernest Seyd the famous bimetallist, who
in 1871 wrote: ''It is great mistake to
suppose that the adoption of the gold
valuation by other states besides England
will be beneficial. 1t will only lead to the
destruction Of the monetary equilibrium
hitherto existing, and cause fall in the
value of silver, from which England's
trade and the Indian silver valuation will
suffer more than all other interests, griev-

The Storm Breathed Death,

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Reports of death
and damage to property in the great
storm are received constantly this eve
ming. Three fishing smacks went
down last night off Stornaway on the
Scotch coast, and all their crews, num-
bering 80 men were drowned. The
British bark, Kirmichael, which was
driven on the breakwater at Holyhead,
had filed. Twelve of her crew were
saved with the breeches buoy and sew
en- were drowned. Many coal miners
on the Donegal coast have lost their
huts in the storm. At Teelin house
collapsed and three occupants were
killed. In Strainolar two persons
were killed by falling chimney.
Several vessels went adrift in Aber-
deem harbor and grounded. The roof
of the Macdonald art gallery was rip
ped open and many valuable pictures
were injured. The brig Liven was
wrecked in the Firth Of Clyde near
Androssa, and her crew of five were
drowned. At Loeb Winnoch, near
Paisley, part of three story cabinet
factory was wrecked. Forty persons
were buried in the ruins. Four were
killed outright and twenty were in
'iured seriously. The proprietor was
struck on the back by a falling timber
and is dying. Only five persons es-
capped without injury. The coast
steamship Brook was stranded last
night near Berwick, Scotland, and
her crew was brought ashore with the
breeches buoy. The gables were blown
off dozen houses in Yarmouth and
the tide in the river Yare rose several
feet above the normal high water
mark. Hundreds of houses have been
flooded. Scores of small ships and
sailing vessels are aground along the
coast. The majority of them will be
floated. Numerous cases OF death or
severe injury from falling timbers,
trees and chimneys have been report
ed this afternoon from all parts of the
United Kingdom. Dispatches from
the Continent say that northern
France and Germany suffered severe
ly from the storm, although the loss
of life and property cannot be estima-
ted as yet At Hamburg many vessels
went adrift and collided or grounded.
The tide was the highest since 1882.
The lower parts of Wilhelmshaven on
the North Sea were flooded and the
dykes would have gone if the garrison
had not worked energetically for
hours to strengthen them. Lubbock
and Colberg also suffered much dam
age. The German bark Charlotte,
Capt. Gerdes, which sailed from Sa-
vannah Nov. IA for Hamburg, is
ashore at Egmond Aaan Zee. She is
a total wreck and her cargo is being
washed ashore. Some of her crew
reached land while others were
drowned. The British bark lamar E.
Marshall, Capt. Utlrey, and the Nor
wegian ship, America, Capt. Franten,
have been driven in on the sand bank
at Greenock.
