to the infirmary are in excess Of the
amount limited by stntute which it is
entitled to hold, only the state can take
advantage of this limitation which is
not open to the heirs -at-law. This is the
doctrine of the United States Supreme
Court the Massachusetts, court, the Illi-
nois court and the Maryland court. as
shown by decisions cited in the brief.
The counsel for the infirmary also con-
tended the intention OF the testator as
shown by both the will and the codioil
was to give the sums therein mentioned
to the Maine Eye and Ear Inf1rmary,
not for general purposes of the institu-
tion, but for the charitable purposesiwith
which he was well acquainted, as it is
we'll known that from its establishment
Mr.. Harrington was identified with the
Maine Eye and Ear Infirmary as one of
its principal officers, the president of the
board of trustees, and was well acquaint-
ed with it's large and important chari-
table work That the purp oses of this
in firmary falls within the definition of
charitable uses," is well settled by the
decided cases, which are not affected
by the doctrine of perpetuities. In this
case, it is for the treatment, free of
charge, OF poor persons throughout the
State, suffering from diseases of the eye
and ear" The charity Is definite, and
even if the trustee who is to dispense
the charity cannot take, the doctrine of
cy pres applies. and the court will ap-
point trustee to administer the trust.
This doctrine is recognized in this state
as well as generally throughout the
United States and in the Federal courts
Mr. Baker and Mr.. Hale in exhaustive
arguments claimed that the statutory
prohi bition Of the holding of mora than
$500, 900 by the institution prevented its
acceptance of the Harrington bequest.
They also cited decisions in support of
their contention that the points raised
by the other side do not apply.
Mr.. Baker argued that corporations
are the creations and creatures of the
law, and have just such rights and pow
ers as the law gives them, and nothing
more. In this case it Is seJtled. The
law says that the corporation can hold
property to the value of 100000 and
that is the limit, beyond which it will
not be allowed to go. He read the SEQ
tion relied on and said that Judge
Symonds entirely forgot to cite that.
He argued that the executors ought not
to object to the case going to the Su-
preme Court. There is anG there will
be no con fiict between the probate court
and this, the Supreme Court of the
state.
He reviewed at great length the New
York case on which he strongly relied
and said that of the more than so cases
cited by Judge Symonds not more than
three or four at the most touched
on this very important point, never be-
fore this court and but seldom raised in
any court.
The case Is one of great interest, not
alone on account of the large sum of
money involved in it, but also because
of the importance of the legal questions
which 1t raises

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Logging Car and Wild Engine
Meet

Two Men Badly Hurt-The Engine Com
pIetely Demolished.
A terrible accident occurred on the ex-
tension of the Rumford Falls Railway
near Byron, Friday. From the partiou-
lars received here, it appears that train
on branch road loaded with logs was
going up steep incline when the train
parted and the rear car, heavily loaded.
ran down the track at tremendous rate
of speed.
The switchman saw the Car coming
aud turned the switch, throwing the cal
on to the main track. 1t happened that
a wild engine was coming up the main
track, and as the logging car was seen
approaching the wild engine plunged
into it, The fireman jumped and escaped
with severe bruises. The engine was
completely demolished. 1t was turned
into old iron in short order The engin.
eer of the wild engine Mr.. Fournier, was
stuck in his cab and terribly injured.
His right arm WAS fearfuny crushed, and
he received a terrible blow over the eye.
1t is a wonder that his sukll was not
fractured. A log also pierced his right
side, crushing the ribs into the lungs.
The brakeman, named Belmont, had his
right leg crushed.
By the suggestion of physicians that
went to the spot from Rumford Falls,
the two men were brought to the Maine
General hospital in this city yesterday
noon. Here the arm of Fournier and the
leg of Belmont were amputated. 1t wss
not expected that Fournier would sur
vive, but that Belmont had a good
chance for recovery.
Last night a reporter for the PRESS
inquired at the Maine General hospital as
to the condition of Fournier and Belmont
and was told they were both doing we'll.
