the gentleman was sojournlng, and was duly
chronicled when the news reached America, ne
made tour of the Holy Land, accompanied BY
Bishop NJ. Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, to whom he was greatly attached 80
evident was his friendship for this venerable
gentleman, that in the will which ne lett, ample
provision is made for the bishop. In the first
place Mr.. Duncan bequeaths him $4,000, APP
noints Mr.. Long, of Philadelphia, and the blsh-
np, also of Philadelphia, but formerl y of Pitts
burg, executors, and provides that the residue
Of the estate shall go to them. This, it is
thought, will increase the bequest to about
100000. Mr. Duncan wasimmensely rich, hay
ing amassed princely fortune in the oil busi.
ness in which he and his brothers engaged
when the fever first broke out. PtttSburg Com.
