Law Court Orders BarrOWs
Estate Divided Between South
Parish and Bangor Seminary.

An interesting Kennebee county
case, involving an important principle
of law, was decided, Thursday, BY the
la" court when a rescript drawn by
Associate Justice Albert X. Savage OF
Auburn was handed down in the case
of Thomas j. Lynch, trustee in equity
vs.. South Parish congregational Par
ish of Augusta ct ais.
Briefly. the history OF this important
case is us follows: John Barrows. an
old resident of Augusta, died in 1883.
The bulk of his estate was given to
trustees for the benefit of his adopted
son, Greeneaf Barrows, during his
lifetime, and was afterwards to be di-
yided in equal shares between the
South Congregational Society of Au-
gusta, Haliowell Classical and Scien-
tific Academy OF Hallowell and Ban
gor Theological Seminary
GTecnlcaf Barrows died, recently,
ard Ifallowell Classical and Scientific
Academy having ceased to operate it's
school prior to the death OF Greenleaf
Barrows. Hon Thomas j. Lynch,
trustee of the estate. asked for in
struction from the court in regard to
the final settlement of the estate.
Melvin S. Holway appeared as at
torney for the complainant in asking
the construction of the court and Hon.
Joseph W. Spaulding of Boston APP
peared for the heirs, while John Il.
Madore, Frank G. Harrington and
Charles l.. Andrews appeared as at
torneyS for the three charitable insti-
tutions.
After hearing before Chief Justice
Whitehouse. the case was by consent
OF parties reported to the law court,
and was argued at the December term
by Hon Joseph W. Spaulding, repre-
senting the heirs and Melxin 5. Hol-
way for the South Congregational
Parish and Bangor Theological Semi
nary.
The rosefipt orders an equal division
OF the fund between these two insti-
buttons and gives the fullest recog-
milton of the doctrine of I''cy pres as
n rule of construction that has ever
been given in Maine. The effect of
the doctrine OF icy pres" is that If
beauest is made by will to a public
charitable purpose and the beneficiary
intended is unable to take it and use
il for that purpose the court will des-
ignate another beneficiary 10 receive
1t to be used for the same public
charitable purpose or one as similar
thereto as can be found. The amount
involved in the case is $4,000 Follow

MCCALL MINORITY REPORT.

Washington. March Rep Samuel

individual minority report from the
House ways and means committee, to-
day, covering both the Democratic

the surplus water-power to furnish cleo

REUNION AT STAR
 CITY ATTRACTS MANY
Little City Was Thronged By People From Many COunties-Many
 Pine Bluffians There.

Star City was the Mecca for prac- t'cally all the citizens of Lincoln and surrounding counties yesterday and it is estimated that fully 5000 people thronged the Lincoln county capitol. The occasion was the an- nual reunion of old soldiers which is held every year under the ausp ces of the Pat Cleburne Camp, U. c. V.
 At least hundred Pine Bluffians left here early yesterday morning in automobiles to attend the reunion, returning in the afternoon and late last night. In one party was Frank Hearn, Abe Bloom, T. Havis Nixon, T. c. Parhom and Hunter Knox Simon Wh'testone and J. N. Booth, of the Arkansas Packing Company, and Hon. S. M. Taylor and others also attended
 The day was given over to speech making, dsncing and all manner of amusemerts and iss a gala day for the people of that section. Col Taylor was enc of the princapal speakers and MI. Whitestone also made an address.

NEW BRIDGE
 IS COMPLETED
Spans Bayou on West Barraque Street and is Part of Improvement
 District No. P.

The concrete bridge over the ravine at the west end of Barraque street, which is included in Improvement District No. 27, has been completed and is now open to traffic.
 The structure is built of concrete and has a span of forty feet. It is 40 feet wide over all, with a roadway of 32 feet and a four-foot sidewalk on each side with an iron railing. A space of 25 feet separates the floor from the bottom of the foundation. About 800 cubic yards of concrete was required for it's construction.
 The bridge is an improvement over other concrete structures in this sec tion from an architectural standpoint. Two ornamental lamp posts have been placed at either end and some time ago the city council ordered lights placed there. The structure repre- sents and outlay of about $6,000.
 The paving of West Barraque street has been completed up to the bridge and since the street car com pany has begun the relay of heavier steel on Pullen street nothing will hinder the completion of the work which it is said will be accomplished by September 1.
