Walker of starks opposed the bill but
his motion to refer it to the next Legis-
lature was lost 70 to Is.
Walker of Starks caused some excite
ment in the House, Wednesday when he
introduced an order that the supreme
judges give their opinion as to constitu-
tionality of a member of the fish and
game commission being member of
the House. The order was tabled.
The act to authorize the county com.
missioners of Somerset county to borrow
a sum of money with which to build an
extension to the court house at Show
hogan and passed to be engrossed in the
Senate came back from the House with
an amendment that it be submitted to
the people of the county to vote upon.
The Senate non concurred to the House
amendment.
The end is now in sight and it is well
assured that the final adjournment will
be reached, Friday afternoon or evening.

George Ii. Currier.

Early Sunday morning, the 18th inst,
after long and painful illness, George
B. Currier died of rheumatism of the
heart az his late residence, II Howard
street, Lynn, Mass. He was little
more than 50 years old; born March 4,
1896. Since 1859, period of ~ years
Mr.. Currer has resided in Lynn. He
was man of retiring disposition, and in
recent years lived more and more seclud-
ed from society on account of increasing
i'll health, but by reason of his genial
personal qualities and sterling character
he had large circle of friends who will
deplore his death. No one could know
him intimately without esteeming him
highly. He belonged to that class of
lovable men whose cheerful "Good
morning" seems to make the whole day
brighter. He was an honOred membei
of the OliVet Commandery of Knights
Templar.
Mr.. Currier was born and grew to
manhood in Skowhegan, being the oldes
son of Willis Currier and Mary Weston
his wife. He learned the tailor's trade
in his fathers shop in this place, worked
a few years subsequently in Gardiner.
Me, then removed in 1859 to Lynn where
he did large and nourishing bushes
as long as his health permitted. 20
nearly thirty years he was a frequen
sufferer from rheumatism, the disease
from which he died.

The Contest Begun.

After prolonged hearing in the pro.
bate court in Bridgeport, Conn. in which
all of the heirs of full blood of the late
millionaire, George F. Gilman, were rep
resented by counsel, Judge hobbs ON
Monday night denied the application of
Edward s. Percival and Edward L..
Norton of New York City, for the ap.
pointment as administrators of the dead
mans estate.
The claims of Mrs. Helen Hall formed
no part of the proceedings nor indeed
were they once mentioned.
The heirs of half blood as we'll were
not participants in the hearing as they
distinctly diselaim any connection with
the present question and admitted in
their petition, the Connecticut residence
of the deceased, which of necessity shut
out the half blood relations from a share
in the Connecticut estate.
The contest, therefore was one be-
tween the two factions of the full blood
heirs. AS such, it lacked in large
degree the sensational features which, it
had been expected, 1t would assume, for
reference to the half brothers of the de-
ceased, whose interest centers in the
question of domicle, was precluded by
the initial admission that Mr.. Gilman
was resident of Connecticut. In con-
nection with the appointment of Messrs.
Norton and Perciyal, however, frequent
mention was made of the fact that they
have been associated with Theophilus
and Frazer Gilman, and this association
while denied with reference to the pre-
ceedings in Connecticut, was often
argued as reason why they should not
receive the appointment. Indeed, Judge
Nobbs 10 his decision, made particular
reference to this relation as the basis of
the contest between the two factions and
declined to make the appointment large
" on the grounds that an agreement of
the heirs should be obtained.
With the non-appearance of Mrs. Hall
in court the question was opened as to
what her claims, if any, on the estate
might be. Her failure to appear was
considered as prima facie evidence that
she would take no part in the contest
over the administration of the estate and
the concurrent opinion is that her share
of the millionaire tea merchant must de
pend upon some deed executed before his
death.
AT the Tuesday mornings session of
the court. the heirs still failing to agree
Judge Nobbs named the Bridgeport
Trust Co. as administrator, in the face
of stormy protest put up by the oppo
sition, representative of whom claimed
such an appointment would necessarily
mean controversy lasting at least 10
years

Tough Old English Statesmen.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were of a harder and more robust
type than the present race of poll
ticians. They seem to have had east
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
tons to match. They dined off huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are content with outlet
and lemon,squash. And yet they liy-
ed to a good old age. We hear of Lord
BrOugham at the age of 70 drinking
two bottles of port at dinner, going to
bed upon half a bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal" and Lord Lyndhurst al
the age of 80 "supping off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr.. Kinnear, an old parliamentary
hand, tells us that he remembers see.
ing Mr. Disraeli drinking. as the pre-.
Jude to a big speech pint of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in a green coat, buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers.
This seems modest potation under
the circumstances, but Mr.. Kinneal
adds that Disraeli came back and had
another pint later on. -Blackwood's.

Com missioner of Agriculture.

A Republican caucus to nominate for
Commissioner of Agriculture, an office
created under the new law, was held in

tive Allen of Sanford. The whole num-
Der of votes cast was 1l9, of which A.
