in the afternoon. Coroner Carr made an
investigation of the case, and gave u GER

THE CORCORAN ESTATE
The Period of Trust for Ten Years Soon
to End.

In the course of a few weeks the period Of
the trust in which the bulk of the estate OF
the late w. w. COrcoran was left will end
AS VIII be recalled, the will of the late W.
w. Corcoran, who died ten years ago next
February. after making a number of be-
quests, left the entire estate, real, personal
or mixed, to two trustees in trust for a
period OF ten years. Upon the expiration OF
this period the property thus controlled by
the trustees is to be conveyed to the heirs
as tenants in common. The heirs named
were three grandchildren-Willam Cor
coran Eustis, George Peabody Eustis and
Louise Marie Eustis, who are all living.
Miss Eustis is now the wife of Mr.. Hitch
cock, whose father is one of the trustees
of the estate. Both of the trustees named
in the will, Anthony Hyde and Chas. NJ.
Matthews, died several years ago. The
former, who was for many years Mr.. Cor
coran's confidential secretary and business
assistant, passed away not long after the
death of Mr.. Corcoran. In his place Mr..
William Corcoran Hill, a nephew of the
testator. was appointed as requested in the
will In the event of the death of either of
the trustees. The present trustees are Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Hitchcock of New York.
The title to quite a good deal of valuable
real estate is vested in the Corcoran es-
tate. Such pieces of property as the Cor
coran building Pennsylvania avenue and
A'ei S'iSet, INC Hotel, vermont
avenue and H street; the residence, Con-
necticut avenue and H street, occupied for
so many years by Mr.. Corcoran the house
adjoining on II street, where Secretary La
mont lived during the last administration,
and other pieces of property. Thefestate
also owns the property adjoining thAbuild-
ing occupied by the Riggs NationalM Bank
AT the time of Mr.. Corcoran's death the
ehtire piece or property, including the bank
building. with frontages on the avenue and
18th street, was owned in common by Mr..
Corcoran and the heirs of the late George
W. Riggs. A few years ago, however, a
DIVISION was effected, the Riggs estate TAX
ing the bank building and the Corcoran
estate the property on each side.

Memory Culture.

1t will be seen by notice in another
column that Prof. Asa S. Boyd of Balti-
more is to lecture on Memory Culture
and Bible Study at Free street Baptist
church, this evening. Prof. Boyd
is said to be the most successful memory
teacher known. His system of memory
culture is strongly endorsed by the Emer-
son College of Oratory and many other
educational institutions throughout the
country. 1t is said to be exceedingly
simple and helpful in all kinds of mental
work and is entirely different from other
systems, which are usually cumbersome
and complicated. One of the chief merits
of Prof. Boyd's system is aim to cultivate
tho Imagination and concentration, and
is based upon the natural law of memory.
Anything that will improve the memory
''sychologically is a benefaction to man
k nd, and ought to be appreciated and
sought by every lover of learning. The
lecture is free.

Fire on Custom House wharf.

. At ten O'Clock last night an alarm of
fire was sounded from box IL for hot
blaze in the store occupied by George W.
Hunt at No. Custom House wharf.
Officers Hans Smith and White were on
Fore street when they saw a cloud of
smoke rolling up the wharf, and realizing
that all was not right, had started to in
vestigate it, when they heard someone
yell fire and Immediately pulled in the
box. The fire was confined almost entire
ly to the front shop where Mr.. Hunt had
large stock of cigars confectionery and
fruit. 1t is supposed that the fire started
in one end of the show case where there
was large quantity of matches which
must have been ignited by rats. After a
few minutes of lively work the blaze was
extinguished and without great damage
to the building which is owned by the
Custom House Wharf company. The loss
to the building will not amount to more
than few hundred dollars. Mr.. Hunt
told the reporter for the PRESS that the
loss to his stock was somewhere in the
neighborhood of $500. He is insured for
$1,000 with the Plummer brothers. The
department handled the fire in an excel
lent manner and prevented what might
have been disastrous blaze.

THE DANCING MASTERS.
Their Convention at Pierce Hall Ended
Friday-Notes ON New Dances.

Friday afternoon the dancing masters
gathered in the practice room at Pierce
hall, and, forming circle around Presl-
dent Gilbert, Joined in singing AUD
Lang Syne.'' Thus the annual conyen-
ton of the American Society of Professors
of Dancing was brought to close.
AT the morning meeting the original
lancers, as danced twenty years ago. and
other popular dances of the past, We're
illustrated, the members being enabled
more fully to realize the contrast between
past and present. Regrets were expressed
in the dance of the present time.
There are strong indications that the
original polka will take the place
of the two-step. The popularity of the
two-step is on the wane. Many new
cotillon figures were shown, which will
add to the great variety now in use. The
cotillon will still hold in favor among ex-
elusive sets, being best adapted for private
parties and home receptions. The society
hopes for reformation in round
dancing, in which the members will con-
fine themselves to teaching the proper
positions.
The society voted against any new
dances this season, but the members may
make use of new work that was presented
as they see fit. The Spanish waltz
quadrille, by 7. A. Holland for children,
and the Harvard Dip, by NJ. B. Gilbert,
received special favor. All pronounced
this the most successful meeting in the
history of the society.
The next meeting will be held in New
York city in September, 1898.

Nowhere in all New England is there
a more attractive place than Riverton
park, Portland's superb suburban re-
sort. Located ON the banks of the Pre-,

from the city, Riuerton park, through the
efforts Of the Portland Railroad company,
has been transformed into an ideal re-
sort. Picturesque scenery abounds and
the natural beauty of its surroundings
has been further enhanced by the finish
ing touches of man, combining happily
the natural and artistic. Riverton is
visited by throngs and the daily average
is 2, 500 to 5000 visitors, while in one day
during the present season II, 900 fares
were taken by the Portland Railroad
company on their Deering and Riverton
line.
DE. B. Smith, Riverton $ popular man.

is due in no small degree to his efforts.
