It is generally known that Mr.. Joseph
Wylie left a considerable estate, and
many people are interested to know
something of it's disposition, therefore,
we give substantially the items OF
chief public interest. The first para
graph directs that all just debts be
paid, and that a joint monument be
erected over the graves of himself and
wife, to cost not exceeding $500. His
residence and $4,000 are left to the A..
R. P. congregation of Chester, the for
mer to be rented or sold as deemed
best. We understand that he valued
his house and lot at $500, making the
bequest $500. The income is to be
used in payment of pastors salary.
Erskine Theological seminary at Due
West, gets $4,000, the income to be
used in paying salaries of professors.
Board of foreign missions of A. Il. r.
church $4,000. Income for support OF
an additional missionary. Board of
church extension of same church, $9,-
600. Income to be used at discretion
of board. American Bible Society,
$500. Erskine college $4,000, for a
fund to be known as the "Wylie Edu-
cational Fund for Girls" The pro-
ceeds from this fund are to be used for
the payment of tuition of worthy and
deserving girls residing in the "Wylie
Home" which was built by MIR.
Wylie and has just been completed.
The trustees are allowed to prescribe
rules for selecting the bene6ciaries, or
tuition may be advanced on notes
payable two years after graduation,
and all money paid on such notes ls
to be used in the same way as the in
terest on the fund. The fund is to re-
main invested in the mercantile es-
tablishment of Joseph Wylie & Co.,
until Executors Woods and J. e..
White, who are members of the firm,
deem it best to liquidate. The wish Is
expressed that bequests to persons be
paid out of the money invested in the
firm named above, within Is months,
if practicable. The executors are d.
rected to sell any real or personal
property not otherwise disposed of,
and turn the proceeds into the estate.
It is stated in the will that the board
of Erskine seminary holds the bond Of
the deceased for $4,000 bearing five
per cent. interest; the board of Erskine
college his bond for $4,000, at. three
per cent, and the latter board another
bond for SIS, 900 at two per cent. for
building the Wylie Home-several
payments having been advanced on
the last named bond. 1t is directed
that these be settled. In case the es-
tate should not be sufficient to pay all
these bequests-which contingency, it
is added, is not probable-the defc-
iency is to be deducted from the
amount left to the theological semina-
ry and the "Girls Educational Fund"
Of any residue that may remain, 81, 900
is to 90 to the board of church extern
sion, and the balance to be equally di-
vided between Erskine college and
Erskine Theological seminary, under
the same limitations as imposed in be-
quests to these institutions above. A
number of bequests are made to rela-
tives, friends and namesakes, only four
Of them as much as 81 900, and most
of them $1OO. As it will require sew
eral years to settle up the estate, bene-
fciaries are requested to exercise pa
tience with the executors. MesSrs. L.
