Opposed.

Allowance for Administrators Account
Opposed.
The Knox Co. probate court, Judge Miller
presiding, was occupied nearly all day Tues
day in hearing the petition for allowance on
the estate of the late John d. Rust of Rock
port. 1t appears that Mr. E. E. Payson of
the firm of Mowry & Payson of Rock1and, is
administrator with the will annexed, and
has administered the estate since the de-
cease of the teStatOr in 1890 and Tuesday
presented his account for allowance by the
court.
Mr.. PaysOn, who is now in Brooklyn, n
Y, was represented by Mr.. A. S. Littlefeld,
and representing relatives of two of the
benefciaries under the will appeared Mayor
Gould and Rodney l. Thompson in opposi-
tiOn to the allowance of the account
1t appears that John D. Rust, who died
Nov. %, 1890, left a widow, Sarah NJ. Rust,
and two children, J. Oscar and George A.,
incompetents, who are under guardianship,
and property estimated at his death to
amount to about $4,000. Mr.. Payson was
appointed admin nstrator under the will and
Tuesdays was the first accounting present
ed the probate court.
Relatives of the children, through their
counsel, objected to the allowance of the ac-
count.
Judge Miller held the matter open till Mr.
Pays0n could be present.-ROckland Star.

METHODIST CHURCH DEDICATION.

The repairs and improvements of the
Methodist church are finished and the dedi-
catory services were opened Tuesday even
ing, Nov. 26th. The audience room has
been thoroughly renovated, a handsome
steel ceiling put in, the walls painted, the
platform enlarged, an aisle made across the
rear OF the room, a new carpet laid, the pew
cushions newly covered and some changes
made in the pews. A new pulpit, given to
the church by friend, was used for the frs t
time at this service. New furnaces have
been put in, and the heating and ventilation
generally improved. The seating capacity
of the pews is 1875.
An audience of about 800 attended the
dedicatOry services Tuesday evening. The
exercises opened with an organ voluntary
by Miss CHM, followed by invocation by
Rev. 7. S. Ross of Newport. This was fol-
lowed by singing by the Baptist quartette,
Messrs. Pitcher and Emery White, Mrs
Pitcher and Mrs Frost, with Miss CHM at
the organ. The 48th Psalm was read re-
sponsively, and prayer offered by Rev. H.
W. Norton of Searsport. Rev. T. S. Ross
read the 10th chapter of Isaiah from the 10Th
verse to the end of the chapter. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pitcher sang duett.
Rev. G. E. Edgett, pastor of the church,
announced that $1O56.64 had been paid on
the improvements, leaving debt of only
$270, which it was hoped to raise at this
meeting. He stated that the $500 given
some time ago towards the fund was from
Mrs. S. G. Sherman. The statement was
then made that owing to an accident on the
Maine Central railway at Clinton, Rev. E.
Fl. BoyntOn of Brewer and Rev. E. K.
Smith of Bangor could not be present. II
was decided to continue the service. After
the singing of hymn by the congregation,
Rev. T. F. Jones, Presiding Elder, gave a
sermon from Tim. 5: s, "But if any man
provide not for his own and specially for
those of his own house, he hath denied the
faith and is worse than an infdel." He
argued that it is mans duty to provide not
only for the physical, but also for the intel
lectual, moral and religious needs of his
household. The congregation then sang,
80 for thousand tongues to sing"
The delayed train having then arrived
Messrs. Smith and Boynton came in and
the former gave an interesting discourse
on ga Glorious Church. A church to be
a glorious church, he said, should be an
optimistic, working, witnessing church.
Mr.. Boynton made an address in behalf
of liberal contributions towards paying the
debt in full, as the church could not be dedi-
Gated until it was free from debt. The sum
of $21O was raised, leaving balance of $780,
AS the full sum was not raised the services
were adjourned, at 1915 O'Clock, to Sunday
forenoon.
The meeting closed with the doxology by
the congregation and benediction by Rev.
E. II. Boynton.

The ]. W. Bradbury Estate.
The Court Asked for an Interpretation of the
Will.

The Court Asked for an Interpretation of the
Will.
The late Hon. James w. Bradbury, late
United States Senator, who died on Jan. 9th
of this year, in his will, after making vari-
GUS bequests, provided that the residue of
his estate be divided into two parts, one of
which should be placed in trust, the in
Boston. The trustees named in the will
were Jas. O. Bradbury of Saco, Henry A.
jackson of Boston, and Oscar Holway of
Augusta. The latter has since died and
Charles s: Hichborn, cashier of the First
National Bank of this city, has been ap-
pointed in his place.
While there has been no attempt to break
the will, it is understood that Hon. Orville
D. Baker, acting in behalf of Mr.. Charles
Bradbury, the son, will shortly bring an
action, returnable before the law court,
which will sit in this city, Dec. 10th, for an
Interpretation of the terms Of the trust
The action is not to be regarded as an attack
upon the validity of the will, but merely
for the purpose of obtaining a court de-
cision that will enable Mr.; Bradbury to dis
pose of his trust property by will.-Augus-
ia New Age.
