know that the United States had suffered
great damage through the failure Of Bartlett,

MONEY FOR MASSES.
Judge Freedman, of the New York SUI
peftOr Court, Explains His
Decision.

NEW YORK, July 13.-In 1882 Margaret
Gilman, eighty-fvs years old, placed $1,000
in the hands of Henry McArdle, instructing
him TO pay the funeral expenses OF herself
and husband, then ninety years old, when
they should die, to erect a monument over
their graves and expend the remainder Of
the money in having .massss said for the rs
pose of their s1uls. She died els ght days
later, and her husband about two months
sfterward. Both died intestata. Michael
Gilman, as next OF kin, demanded McArde
TO account and pay over to him the money
received fro Mrs. Gilman. Judge Freed
man, in the Superior Court, decided the trust
was invalid, aud that such money as re-
manned should be paid Mr.. Gilman. Con-
siderable comment has been excited by the
decision. To-day, in rendering a decision
upon the motion for settlements, fnd-
ines and the award of costs, Judge Freedman
referred to his decision, saying if Mrs. Gill
man had bequeathed her money to her ex-
ecutor for the purpose of having masses
said, he would have upheld the will; but no
title passed with the deposit of money in
the hands of the agent, and the sdminIstrs-
tor was as much entitled to revoke the in-
structions given the agent as Mrs. Gilman
herself would have been bad she lived and
chosen to revoke them. The character of in
structions, the Judge said, is imm aterial, and
if they had been hat McCardle should every
4th OF July pay man TO hoist the Amer.
can flag over the house in which she died be
would have rendered precisely the same de-
cision
