Fayerweather Will Contest Ended.

The supreme court of New York has sustained Judge Truax in his decision setting aside the clause of the Fayerweather will in which $3,000,000 is left to various colleges. By this decision Harvard loses $100,000; Yale, $150,000; and Brown, Wesleyan and Trinity, $50,000 each. The will as it now stands will benefit twenty colleges. The six New England institutions to receive bequests are: Yale, $450,000; and Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan and Bowdoin, $250,000 each.
