was by Miss Nannary in the role of
Marguerite. It was an even, strong,

terization. Mr.. BlunkalPs Jack was
very hearty and generous, but coarser

character is manly and fearless one,

Officer Carroll, while taking a look

heard a noise as of some one running.
He soon discovered two men running
through Mr.. Ryan's yard toward the
alley. and though they were g. good
distance off he took a shot at them.
From the Ryan lot they ran into the
big woodward near by. Carroll pur-
sued them and they ran out across the
R-street levee toward Carlaw' stone
yard.
The officer fired another shot at them
as they went over the levee, and then
made search through the stoneyard,
but they evidently did not stop there,
or If they did they were so safely hid
among the granite powders that they
could not be seen.

Senator Cullom reported the changes to

changes, the most important being as fol-

That all persons who were citizens of

YORK COUNTY.
John Wentworth, in equity. VS.. Fred
A. Fernald, admir-, ct ais.
Rescript by Whitehouse, il. When
all of the provisions of the will relating
to the income of the fund in question are
construed in relation to each other so as
to give meaning and effect to every clause
and phrase, it becomes clear that it was
the intention of the restator, not to make
an absolute gift to the brothers and
sisters Of the whole income as 1t accrued,
but to give them the right to receive so
much of the income from time to time as
might be needed for their comfort and
support; and if not all needed for that
purpose it should be allowed to acoHmu-
late in his hands. They also acquired the
right to receive, from time to time, such
part of the accumulation of unexpended
income as might be needed for their sup
port; but they did not acquire a vested
interest in the whole income and the IN
expended accumulation did not become
the property OF either of them during life
and did not pass to his or her representa-
tive.
2. The residuary clause creating the
trust in favor Of an academy is not OBJ.
noxious to the rule against 'perpetuity'
or sremoteness. Under the direction of
the testator and the operation of law.
the conditions of the trust respecting the
appointment of academy trustees would
necessarily be fulfilled within the pre-
scribed time. With respect to this objec
ton the clause is not distinguishable
from the ordinary direction of a testatol
for the appointment of executors.
The entire income, as well as the prin.
cipal OF the estate is payable to the trus-
tees under the residuary clause in the
will.
Decree accordingly.
