FOR RoBBING FREIGHT CARS.
Arrest of Four Portland Men at saco
Wednesday Night.

Biddeford, June 3..-Last night City
Marshal Burns and his officers took four
Portland fellows off the night freight at
the Saco station and locked them I'D at
the complaint of the conductor. He dis
covered them just as soon as the train left
Portland and shut them into the car they
had broken open, caging them tightly
till they got to Saco. The quartette were
armed with stones and sticks but had no
chanc to use them.
They are young men and dressed quite
well, being of respectable appearance,
but the conductor thinks that they are the
crowd that has repeatedly ransacked cars
at the Commercial street line and broken
open the doors and stolen the contents.
They gave the names of James Flynn,
VIM. Sawyer, John j. Anderson and
Michael Hanley, all of Portland.
The road has been bothered very much
by this style of thieving and has long
sought to catch set of offenders and
make an example of them.
This afternoon the four were arraigned
for vagrancy, the only offense that they
committed in this county They pleaded
not guilty. The court ordered them
committed to the Portland jail for &c
| days each, and then it is presumed tf~

THE STRIKE GROWING,
Cloak Makers In New York Propose to Join
the Tailors.

New York June 3.-Notice has been
served on the cloak manufacturers that
their employees are preparing for strike,
which will be second in magnitude only
to the tailors' strike. The cloak makers
are ten thousand strong. The manu-
facturers have been invited to confer
ence at which new scale of prices will be
ordered. The men say that they cannot
exist under the present rates.
1t is probable that the ranks of the
striking garment makers will soon be
augmented by the ''pants and vest
makers organization as well as the cloak
makers. The former have about 1900
members. In the case of the cloak
makers, it is said that strike can only
be avoided by the manufacturers granting
an increase in wages of from 25 to 35 per
cent. The pressers are also said to be
preparing for strike.

Some of the most sensible of the regular
Democrats are getting tired of the situa-
tion in which they find themselves in the
House. MIR. Bailey having gone away to
Missouri, and Mr.. Mcmillan having gone
to Tennessee, there is no leader left.
Jerry Simpson and Lewis of Washington,
both from the Populist contingent, have
in this juncture stepped in and snatched
the leadership, without any Democrat
having been able to prevent apparently.
Some Of the performances have been very
funny. 1t has been the custom of Mr..
Bailey, when new member has been
speaking on his side and seemed likely to
other side, to see that the new member
had his rights. On Tuesday, Flemming
of Georgia, new member, but a compe-
tent man in parliamentary way, was on
the floor, and under the guise of a
question an old Republican member was
interfering speech in Flemming's
time. Then Mr.. Lewis arose and pro-
tested against the invasion of the rights
of the gentleman from Georgia, although
Mr.. Flemming, who was quite able to
take care Of himself, had made no sign of
impatience. The House saw the humor
in the situation and laughed loudly. Mr..
Lewis, however, takes himself too serious
ly to be disconnected by anything like
that. Il am tired said regular Demo-
crat the next day, cat being dragged

Sought to Prevent Payment of Legacy
on Ground That Infirmary Could Not

rsPEcIAL 70 THE PREss.y

Bangor, June 3.-An important decision
affecting a bequest made by the late Ira
P. Harrington of Portland to the Maine
Eye and Ear Infirmary has been rendered
by the Law court. By Mr.. harrington
will two-thirds of the residuary estate
q ter certi / / 4 requests were Iaid was 10
go to the institution to be devoted to
charitable purposes. Mr.. Farrington's
heirs-at-law brought bill in equity to
restrain the executors from paying the
legacy to the Inflrmary on the ground
chiefly that by law the Infrmary could
not take and hold property in excess of
100000 They asked that the property so
devised be distributed among the heirs.
The defence contended that no one but
the state could raise the point of 1imita-
tion, and that the heirs had no standing
in court in this matter.
The Law court has just rendered a de-
cision sustaining the contention of the
defence. the effect of which will be that
the Eye and Ear Infrmary will get two
thirds of the residuary estate, which as
been estimated as high as $500, 200. The
opinion was drawn by Chief Justice
Peters and is said to be very able and
exhaustive one.
