Bostox, Mass., Jan. 26.—By a decision of the fall bench of the supreme court the American Missionary Association of New York will receive $20,000 and the American Bible Society of that city $40,000 under the will of Oliver C. Healy of South Abington, who left an estate valued at about $80,000. The will was contested on the ground that the bequests were in violation of a statute of New York, which provides that where a person leaves a busband, wife, child or parent. he shall not leave to any benevolent, missionary or other society more than one-half of his estate. The testator had a wife and the be- quest to the American Bible Society came out of the remainder of the real estate, which was less than one-half of his property. The opinion of the court holds that the statute only applic to inhabitants of New York and there is olhing in it to. prevent «New York corpora- tion from receiving any bequest made inmbabitant of another state. —_— WIRES TO PHILADELPHIA.

Yesterday they did not go to work and dur- ing the morning the older one borrowed a pair of scissors from the landlady. All day long they remained indoors and about 7 o'clock last evening they told Mra. Hantzmsn that they were going to the theater. Mrs. Hantzman went the door with them and explained to them how to turn the lock, as it is & peculiar one. First one sister went outside and tried it and then the other one followed. Being satisfied that they would have no trouble in getting in, they took the key with them and went off, as they maid, to go to the theater.
