DU pGNT TRUST FUND.
Chancellor Gays the Four Daughters
Shall Receive Equal Shares
Under the du Pont Will.
A verbal decision was rendered yeste

A verbal decision was rendered yester-
day by Chante!l3r Nicholson in the case
of Henry A. du Pont, trustee, vs. Alex
ander d. Irving, ct al, which involves
the construction of item 16 of the will of
General Henry du Pont. Bequests of
more than 81 100000 are involved.
The question before the court was
whether the property, divided under
item 16 should be divided equally be-
tween the four daughters, Victorine E.
Foster, wife OF A. L. Foster; Ellen E.
Irving, wife of Alexander D. Irving,
New York; Sophie M. Chandler, wife of
Theophilus Chandler of Philadelphia,
and Miss Evelina du Pont, or whether
the five children of Ellen e. Irving
should share equally with their mother
and aunts.
The decision of the chancellor is that
the property shall be divided into four
equal parts, one for each OF the four
daughters and that the children of Mrs.
Irving shall not be considered in the di-
vision. The decision agrees with the
line of argument made by Levi @. Bird,
Lewis G. Vandegrift and George Tucker
Bispham. The chancellor stated that
the decision in the Injunction suit of the
Wilmington City Railway Company VS.,
the Peoples Railway Company, would
be delivered before be goes on his vaca.
tion. The decision will be an important
| one, as it involves the validity of the
general corporation law so far as its
power to revoke charter granted by 6

1t is likely that the Levy Court may
have to erect a new bridge over the

the centre pier of the bridge over the

battle chips, cruisers, &c, recently au.
thorized, having already a fully equipped
plant in every particular for such pur-
pose and expecting soon to have uni
form depth of 2l feet AT mean low
water along our wharves, and from
thence to the Delaware river, but unfor-
tuna,ely we are prevented from bidding
on the largest OF these constructions on
account OF not being able to deliver such
vessels SAFELY through the above men,

3. Il, a number of instances, lately, we
were obliged to decline proposed new
work Of the largest class, although we
could have constructed these vessels to

be cause they were of sizs larger than
could be safely nayigated on the Chris

exists.

legal rights in accordance with act ol

WORD FROM MACDONALD.

Dated July 4.

London, July 24.-The foreign office
has received dispatch from the British
consul at Tien-tsin. dated Saturday, July
21. stating that he had just received a
letter from Sir Claude Macdonald, the
British minister ut Peking, and dated
July 4, appealing for relief There We're
enough provisions ut the legation to last
fortnight. the letter said, but the garri-
son was unequal to the task of holding
out against determined attack for many
DAYS. There had been A deaths and
about double that number wounded.
The foreign office thinks the dispatch
does not affect the main question of the
reported massacre OF members of the
legations at Picking.
One month has elapsed since Sir Rob
ert Hart, director of the Chinese mari
time customs, smuggled out of Picking the
last piece of news that appeals authorlta-
lively to Europe, and apparently the only
method by which the Chinese court can
vindicate its veracity here is to transmit
| another autograph message from some
equally authoritative source.
Admittedly the tsung-li-yamen (Chinese
! foreign otiice) possesses facilities to set
| all doubts at rest. Ii Hung Chang's re-
ported statement to the effect, while the
Foreigners are alive, they would all be

REBATE ASKED FOR.
Taxes on Oxy-Hydrogcn Plant Are
Entirely Too Excessive.


H. H. Ward appeared before the Levy
Court Commissioners at their meeting
yesterday afternoon and asked for re-
bate on the taxes levied on the Oxy
Hydrogen Company's buildings on the
marsh road for the past three years.
He claimed that they were excessive
and beyond all precedent. There are
four frame structures and q gas holder
which is absolutely useless, and for ten
years it's use has been prohibited by
pending suits.
He said that next year an endeavor
would be made to have the assessment
reduced. The assessment is S24, 400 aid
the taxes have been, 1888, $l53.72; 1899,
$l53 ~, and 1900, $l39.0S.
The matter was referred to cnmml T
tee. The committee appointed to audit
the account of j. b. ORourke, collector
of taxes in Pencader hundred in 1885,
allowed the following errors: Capitatlon
tax, $14350; dog tax, $500. The re-
port was adopted. A number OF district
bills were passed.
The following reso ution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the bridge and ap-
proaches on the public road from Black
bird to Biackbird station on the Della
ware railroad at Lore's, now Records
mill, heretofore kept up by the road
commissioners OF Blackbird hundred, be
hereafter kept up and assumed by the
Levy Court of New Castle county"
The court allowed the claim of the
Sarah A. White Home for $l9 "a for
overpaid taxes.
