JOHN 3. CURTlS's WILL.
Attorneys for His Son Begin Legal Pro.
Legal Proceedings.

The will of the late John B. Curtis is
to be contested by the son of Mr.. Curtis
1t will be remembered that
no provision was made in the will for
the son, and an effort will therefore be
made to obtain for him portion of the
estate, which, it is claimed, is rightfully
due him. The case will be heard in the
probate court in a few days.
The action was begun when Ex-Gov.
Cleaves and Hon. Seth l.. Larrabee Sat
urday entered their appearance as coun-
sci for Mr.. Roscoe W. Curtis. Mr. Curtis
is the son of the late John B. Curtis by
his first wife, from whom he was di-
vorced many years ago. At that time the
son, who was then an infant, received
$40, 600 settled upon him by his father.
In the will was section declaring that
as "the child known as Roscoe W. Curtis,
has already been provided for by me,
Intentionally omit giving him any lega-
cy bequest or devise whatever. -
The first Mrs. Curtis died soon after
the divorce.

HIS COLLAR BONE BROKEN.
Serious Accident to Man Employed on
Tukey's Bridge.

Sunday forenoon man named George
Beck who lives in East Deering, but who
has been employed by the contractor on
the work at Tukey's bridge, met with a
serious accident. The crew of men were
engaged in saving off q tall Spite and
Beck was holding it steadily with his
shoulder, while the other men piled the
saw. Suddenly the heavy Spite fell and
pinned Beck's shoulder against another
Spite. He was released with difficulty and
was found to have been seriously injured.
His collar bone was fractured and he had
sustained other injuries. Beck was re-
moved to the Maine General hospital and
last night was reported to be doing as
well as could be expected.

Grew Probably Perished.

Ellsworth, July 17.-Little hope is en-
tertained here that the crew of the schoon-
er Arboreer, which was reported lost yes
terday, escaped. From her appearance it
is thought that the schooner capsized and
it is thought that the crew was lost over
board or persisted, even if they escaped in
boat; as it seems impossible that boat
could live in such seas as have been rum
ming this week. The schooner was owned
and commanded by Osman Clark. The
crew are: John Goodwin and Shirley
Lord. All came from Ellsworth. Cant
Clark was 53 years of age and lea, o. a
widow and one child. Goodwin Was %,
was married and his wife is still living.
Lord was II years of age. The Arboreer
was one Of the Oldest schooners along the
Maine coast.

PHYSICAL TEST A FAILURE.
So Says Dr. F. W. Huntington, the We'll,
Known Veterinarian.

The State Veterinary Association at it's
meeting held in Waterville last week
passed resolutions that We're published in
the PRESS, giving their reasons for con-
sidering the physical test for tuberculosis
a failure
A reporter for the PRESS has inter-
viewed DIR. F. W. Huntington, the well
known veterinarian on the subject, and
this is what he said in answer to the re-
porter's questions:
You ask me what my reasons are for
calling physical examination
failure. In the first place
the Portland Board of Health
started in to protect the people from that
scare about tuberculosis by enacting a
law which would prevent the sale of milk
from tuberculous COWS, and thus passed,
the law would have prevented the sale to
certainty if it had been carried out as
first enacted by the Board Of Health But
great kick was made. AS in all cases
when a new law goes into effect it has it's
opponents, principally among some of the
milk producers, but not among the deal
ers or consumers, and the result was a
sort Of arbitration committee was ap-
pointed to meet with the Board of Health.
The result of the meeting was to change
the law, practically robbing it of it's good
intentions, and leaving it practically
with the veterinarians to say whether
they should make physical or a tuber-
culin test. 1 will say that after making
a physical examination of some two hun
COWS that I condemned as unfit for fur
nishing milk to the city, but not one of
which was condemned for the disease
which the board was trying to prevent,
tuberculosis. After making careful
physical examination of the two hundred
COWS and not finding one case which l
would want to condemn as tuberculosis.
and after interviewing other members of
the profession who had examined much
greater number than had, I made up
my mind that physical examination for
the detection of tuberculosis from which
the Board of Health were trying to pro-
tect the people, was failure, and notified
them that I should make no more ex-
aminations of that sort as believed it was
giving the people more confidence in the
use of milk, was robbing the milk
producer of his money, as he was only
paying out his money to satisfy the public
and was getting nothing in return, which
1 do not think would be the case if tie
tuberculin test was perfectly applied in
every case, as it has proved to be an I'M
failing means of detecting tuberculosis,
does not affect the milk either in quality
or quantity, and is a perfectly harmless
remedy when properly used"

THE YARMOUTH ROAD REPLIES.
Its Side of the Question at Issue in Law
suit With the Postal.

MIR. L. u. Harris says: The position of
the Portland and Yarmouth Electric rail-
road in regard to the suit brought by the
Postal Telegraph company, is as follows:
In August, 1895, the Portland and Var
mouth Electric Railway company
petitioned for location through the town
of Falmouth. A hearing was held before
the municipal officers and the legal notice
having been given, no person or party ap-
pearing in opposition at the hearing the
location was granted sub ject to the views
of the municipal officers as to which side
of the road the track should be laid up
on
AT or near the time of the beginning
OF the work this spring the selectmen of
the town of Falmouth notified the Postal
Telegraph company in writing that GER
tain of their poles were in the location
granted the Portland and Yarmouth road,
and that they must remove the same. 1t
should be said in this connection that
some two years ago the county COM
mlssioners relocated and established the
road lines over the so-called Foreside road
through the town of Falmouth. BY
reason of the changes made by the county
commissioners it brought many of the
poles of the postal Telegraph company
far into the roadway as now established,
and were consequently in many cases
directly on the location granted the road.
The Postal Telegraph company have
persistently neglected to comply with the
request of the municipal officers of Fall
mouth thereby making it difficult for the
Portland and Yarmouth people to con-
struct its roadped and set it's poles. Had
the Postal Telegraph company needed the
proper and lawful request of the municipal
officers there would have been no difficult
ty or friction. We claim an absolute right
under our charter granted by the legisla-
ture and the location granted by the town
of Falmouth to construct our line and
equip the same upon and over this road
in the location granted and accepted in
writing by the municipal officers of the
town of Falmouth.
I'VE believe our rights are absolutely
lawful and perfect over the location above
IcloFIcu w.
From information which we believe to
be reliable we are led to conclude that the
Postal Telegraph company never obtained
any legal rights to set poles within the
town of Falmouth. In this view of the
case we do not see that the Portland..and
Yarmouth road has anything to fear as to
the result of proceedings taken by the
P ostal Telegraph company.
In the construction of its road and
erection Of its poles the Portland and
Yarmouth road has used all possible care
to avoid injury or interference with the
poles or wires of the Telegraph company.
Any injury or annoyance which may
have happened has been unavoidable and
are due solely to the neglect of the Tele-
graph company to remove its poles which
it has had ample time to do since receiv-
ing notice to that effect from the
municipal officers of the town of Fal
mouth 49,

THEIR SIXTH ANNUAL.

Picnic Saturday.

The Milliken- Tomlison Company en-

rival of the train the American Cadet
band enliyened the few minutes of wait
ing with their pleasant selections. A little
after twelve arriving at Lake Sebago, a
procession was formed and marched to
the hotel. An excellent dinner WIS served
by Landlord Murch, which all did ample
Justice to. After dinner an adjournment
was taken to the ball grounds, grove and
pavilion. A bout of boxing between
Messrs. Fitzsimmons and Merrill was
heartily enjoyed by all, as well as one be-
tween Emery and MCGEE. The bantam
weights, Huston and Knaut, mixed up to
the great delight of all. The usual game
of ball was played, the nine captained by
Morse winning by the score of 43 to 81.
With music by the band and recitations
by Messrs. Merrill, Carter and Campbell,
the afternoon was pleasantly passed.
After a photograph of the party was taken
the journey home was accomplished in
a pleasant run of twenty minutes, all
voting it the best excursion of the series.
The salutes fired by the big cannon under
charge of Mr.. E. E. Rogers, were a
speaking feature. Great credit was due
