to Trustees, Which is In COntravention
of the Statutes Of Wills.

Green and others as executors, etc., appel
lants, and Laura B, Hazard, ct al, respon-
dents, affirming the judgment, with costs
payable to all the parties out of the estate.
This renders the Tilien trust void and is
in favor of the heirs.
Under the statute of distribution that
regulates the Inheritance of property the
issue of Mrs. Peitou and Henry A Tilden
sister aud brother of Governor Tilden,
come ip for an equal share OF the S. 900, 600
Mrs. William b. Hazard is the only heir
on the Pelron side and is thus entitled to
81, 00O000. The other 81, 600, 000 is subject
to the claims of six children of Henry A.
Tilden. They are George a. Tilden, S. j.
Tilden, jr, Mrs. William B. Whittlessy,
Mrs. Swan. widow who lives III New
Lebanon, Mrs. Willis S. Payne and Mrs.
Schwartz, Of New York city.
Judge Brown in his opinion says, in sub
stance, that unless within the rules which
control courts in the construction Of wills
we can separate the provision in reference
to the Tiiden trust from the general direc-
tion as to the disposition of testator's resi-
duary estate contained in the last clause of
the thirty fifth article and find therein
such estate was given TO that institution
when incorporated and which the court at
the suit Of said institution could enforce

similar cases declare such provision of the

I The Judge goes on to say the trust does
net represent any alternative or primary
purpose in the disposition OF the estate but
is simply suggested instrument to exc

of his property. The Tilden trust takes
nothing by virtue Of the will The resi-
duary estate is vested in the trustees. and
it is solely by their action that it is to be-

taught for the past ten months by the Free

freedom of opinion is no longer to be toler-
ated and that every opposing Nationalist
may righteously be mobbed ana if neces-
ssry murdered. They are instruments of
crime who have been educated by their
masters to the cowardly practice of their
own precepts of Parnellism. With the
death of their creator they have descended
to the practices Of Nihilists and the Car

The National Press also declares that after
the explosion of the bomb III the Abbey

New York, Oct. 27.-When Grover
Cleveland was presidential candidate in

duce exchange organized the Business
Mems association" which was very active.

campaign meeting was held at Madison
square TO night at which a ries of resolu-
tons OF bitter tenor regarding the loss Of
the Worlds fair to New York and other
topics were passed. Ex-Presideut Cleve-
land was then introduced as chairman and
spoke in substance as follows:
MIR. Cleveland said those engaged in bus
mess pursuits have kept too much aloof
from public affairs, and too generally acted
upon tine theory that their duty as citizens
nor their personal interests required of
them any hsbitual participation in
political movements. This indifference
aud Inactivity have resulted in loss to the
pubic SERVICE and the eX-Presiden said
he Is firmly of the belief that If Few bus-
mess men could be substituted for pro-
fessicnal men IN official places, the people
would positively gain by the exchange
Mr. Cleveland had something TO say
about the proper adjustment of the tariff,
the economical administration of state
affairs, and ridiculed the Republican plan
OF shrieking throughout the state demerits
and dangerous procliyIJies Of d certain or
ganizGtion whose members support the
principles aud candidates of the Demo
cratic party. Even if all they alleged
, against this organization were true, the
perils they present are baseless and absurd.

whether the principles and candidate of

purity of Flowers business career and

Organization of Relief Societies Forbidden

ORGANIZATION OF heileI societies Forbidden
LONDON, Oct 27.-In the Daily News this
morning was a dispatch which says the
minister of the interior in declining the
proposition of deputstion of rich Moscow
merchants to form society for the relief
of the victims of the famine stricken dis
tricts, declared any body attempting to visit
the districts where famine prevailed for
any such object as that described would be
arrested.
The emigration society has prohibited
the organization OF relief committees ut
certain points. This is supposed TO be due
to the fact that rellence upon government
relief will have bad moral effect upon the
ueasants who would decline to WORK On re-
lief railways, roads, etc, and spend thu
money they received in drink. They are
too lazy 10 sow corn while the ready cas- h
of the famine fund is procurable.
