THE CHTRCH GIFTS THE MONEY.

SURROGATE ABBOTT DECIDES AGAINST THE
HEIRS OF MISS JANE GASTEN.
When Miss Jane Caster died on November o. 1897
she bcquea thed In Will the sum of $4,000 to go
toward dischargng mortgage for that amount on
the chapel of the Casson Avenue Presbyterian
Church. The will was executed on June I. 1890. and
after that date and before Miss Caster died the
mortgage was reduced TO $1,000 the testatrix
making some small contributions toward the sum
paid.
The heirs TO the estate held that the church could
now accept but $1,000 OF the bequest. Surrogate
Abbott however has decided that the church Is en-
tilted 10 the full amount OF the bequest, less the
contributions which Miss Caster had made before
her death
The Rev. Dr Burrlll. pastor of the Classon Ave.
rue Presbyterian Church, in conversation with a
Tribune reporter last evening. said: Il do not
know what we will do with this surplus of $1,000.
but Surrogate Abbott has decided that we are en-
titled to IT, and we can doubt find way TO use
IT, I have had no talk with any of the officers OF

congregation will probably be called soon 10 discuss
the question. We have good chance to use 1t In
