An Army BILL.

A bill has passed the House providing
Tor two new regiments of artillery for

merits or need Of the measure, 1t may be
observed that its effect will he TO cause
great deal of longed-for promotion in
the army, but particularly in the artillery
branch OF the service. This arm has
had the least active service of the three
q late years, being stationed chiefly at
Eastern ports, where officers and men
have atendencyto growmouldy las it were
from disuse. The regiments of infantry
and cavalry on the frontier which have
had plenty Of inglorious campaigning

ery's prosperity. Organized with the
Idea OF quick expansion In case of need
our army has two first and second lieu
tenants TO each battery of artillery, but
this bill provides for only one first and
ONE second lieuteaant for each, and
therefore the number of officers in the
nervice will only be increased

The Heirs Must Maintain Two Scholar

The Heirs Must Maintain Two Scholar
ships at Drew Seminary.
Judge Leonard E. Wales of the United
States Court, yesterday, rendered de-
cision in the famous case of Drew Semi
nary of Madison, n j., VS.. the heirs of
James Riddle, the substance that the
trustees of the estate must maintain two
free scholarships at the above institu-
ton.
The suit is what lawyers playfully
term friendly litigation. That is, the
action was brought not becsuse the sur
viving heirs objected to obeying the
charitable bequest Of the testator, but
| because in the wording of the will and
| the administrators desired to have the
| document interpreted by learned judge.
Mr.. Riddle, in his will, requested his
son and son in-law to set aside sum Of
money the income from which would be
sufficient to educate at Drew Semina ry
two young men for the ministry Of the
M. E. Church. One of them was to be-
come member of the Wilmington Con-
ference and the other was to labor In the
foreign mission field.
During the dictatorship OF beander f.
Riddle from 1874 to 1880, $500 vas an
nually set aside to accomplish this enc
but since that year the surviving execu-
tors have declined to make any appoint
ments to the seminary.
Their reasons for not obeying tn
behest Of the win were that the beques
was not Of a charitable nature; that i
was solely for the benefit Of Drew Semi
nary; that it was impossible for the bepe
6ciary to remain in the Wilmington Con
ference, because the bishop might ordei
his transfer to other diocese.
Judge Wales decided all these point
against the executors. He says that tn
bequest contained in the vii
of James Riddle constituted
valid charitable use, and de
cree will be made accordingly. TIL
amount of money necessary to be appro
priated to establish fund for carryin
! the bequest into effect will be determine
, by a reference to q master. On failur
, of an agreement by counsel the couI
: will give such further instructions a
: may be required for the proper execI
g ton of the trust.
