TILDEN WILL DECISION.
Library Trusts Violate Statute
Against Perpctuities.

NEW YORK, December 23.-Justice
Beekman. in the Supreme Court, has
handed down a decision arising out of an
action brought by the executors Of the
will OF 'hc late Samuel J. Tilden. for q
construction Of certain clauses in the will,
in which he holds that further trusts
created by the estate are invalid.
After the decision that the residuary
trust was Illegal by the Court of Appeals,
and after Mrs. Peiton. the testator's Sis
ter. had given most OF her share 20 the
founding of the library In this city, a
contingent fund OF $4,000 was created
10 carry out the clauses Of the will with
respect to the establishment of free
libraries at New Lebanon and Yonkers,
10000 having been left for each of these
purposes.
Justice Beekman says that both Of
these trusts are open to the fatal OBJ
lection that they violate the statute
against perpetuities. These attempted dis
positions are. therefore, void. and the
plaintiffs rest under no duty with re-
spect TO them.
On the question as 10 whether the trus-
tees have the right TO change the invest
ment of the $4,000 IN bonds which the
testator left to Miss Marie Celeste Stauf-
fer. of New Orleans. Justice Beekman
holds that they have no such power.
In conclusion, the Court says: Mr.
Tilden would undoubtedly have acted Diff
ferently could he have appreciated that
his scheme for a large public library in
this city would have been defeated but
the Court cannot now undertake 10 devise
a scheme which viii supply the deficiency
or make another will for Mr.. Tilden."

IDENTIFY given these at what he regards as
their actual value.
The bank is indebted 10 depositors in
the sum of S2.Siiol0. and its liabilities over
