THE ESTATE OF TlLDEN.
But Little Of 1t Left for the Great Public
Library Scheme.
100000 WAS TO HAVE BEEN EXPENDED
Hns Cut This Down Very
Materially.

| New York. July 12,--Samuel ]. Tiiden's
estate, according to tho executors final
| account, amounted TO ss,Se0.0o0, After the
death OF Nj. Tildcn In 1856 his will was
found to contain special requests aggrs-
eating si.500.o00, ana prschcaily ALL al shc
residue was LETT to establish free library
in this city. Had his intention in this re-
spect been carried out. she condition OF
tho estate shows that there would have
been about $1,000 900 to found this library
which would have made of 1t what he
hoped Il 10 be--cne OF the largest In the
country.
Mrs. Mary b. Peyton. sister OF MIR.
Tilden. who would be entitled to half his
estate II he had left no Will. and 10 half
his residuary estate when the residunry
clause in the will was found to be void
refused to allow her brothers scheme to
fall through and made an agreement with
tho Tilden trustee, through the executors,
by which she relinquished her share in the
estate for about si,000000 so that the re-
mainder of what she would have been en-
titled to was left to establish the library.
The New York public library, Aston, Len
OK and Tilden foundations have received
from the estate 81, SB9,0S1, which Is S5,0o0,-
o0o less than the amount Mr.. TilderN de-
sired should be devoted to this grand
scheme for n public library.
II was in the suit OF George II. Tilden.
a nephew of Samuel j. Tilden. that the
residuary clause OF the will was held TO be
void after years Of litigation carried to
the court of appeals, and the half of the
residuary estate went to himself and his
brothers and sisters--Samuol ]. Tilden.
Jr., Henrietta j. Swan, Caroline b, Whit

Before the agreement of 1892 was en-
tered into the expenses of administration
of the estate amounted to $39S95S, which
was brought about by the litigation in
which the estate was involved, and the
commissions of the executors were about

stocks of Pig Have Been Further
Reduced.
| New York, July 12.-Reviewing the trade
conditions the Iron Age says. Our usual
monthly pig iron statistics shows that
production, while 1t continued to increase
in June. was inadequate TO meet the de-
mand, the stocks having beer further re-
duced The production Of the coke and
anthracite furnaces expended from 249,-
900 tons weekly on June l to $4,000 tons
weekly on July !. and yet furnace and
warrant stocks fell from $4,000 to 49,
coo tons on four days supply reckoned on
the whole output. This figure is, however
somewhat misleading since the stocks
cover only the metal on hand at the fur
naces running on the open market, rep
resenting about one-quarter OF the output.
But even making due allowance for this
The stocks arc at a very low ebb.
II is true that number of furnaces have
started since the first Of this month and
that others will be in before the beginning
OF August, but yet an easing In the situa-
ton is not yet in sight, particularly since
an important group Of furnaces in the
shenango valley are banked on account OF
labor troubles. Although they are ex-
pected TO start soon. a certain amount of
tonnage has been lost.
II has been matter OF surprise that thus
far there have been indications that high
prices have adversely affected c5nsunp-
ton. Probably the fact that deliveries
have been at much lower range OF values
may explain 1t.
Quite recently. however. a number of
instances CT holding over enterprises have
c me under our notice. They are inslg-
nificant when compared with the large
amount OF new work coming up and for
the fear for the pressure OF delivery are
lost sight of. but they may be the foreruu-
ners of more important developments late
In the year.
The pig iron markets have been fairly
active and in the East continue TIC display

guns are to be used by the American troops
in the fail campaign against the Filipinos.
Preparations are being made by the ord
nance department to supply General Otis
with Sims Hill Dudley dynamite pneu-

A gun of the same make was used by the

General Garcia declared that several towns
