Opinion by
Testatrix bequeathed to the Girard Life Insurance Annuity and Trust Company (now Girard Trust Company) her interest in one-half part of certain securities as to which she had power of appointment under her husband’s will, in trust, to be divided into ten equal shares, one of which was held for Frances Florida Innes. After the above provision the will reads as follows: “And after the' decease of the said tenants for life respectively in trust to assign his or her share to such person or persons as he or she shall appoint by will and in default of such appointment to such of their children as may then be living in equal parts and shares. But if he or she should die without any issue living at the time of his or her death then in trust as well as respects his or her original share or any share which shall afterwards have accrued to him or her under the provisions of this clause of my will to hold or assign and transfer the same to the use, of such persons and for such estates as the remaining shares shall then be holden by the said trustees. In case any of the above-named persons shall die before me without issue in such manner as otherwise would create by law a lapse of his or her shares then my said trust estate shall be taken to be divided into a proportionately less number of shares & all the foregoing trusts & limitations shall apply as fully & in all respects as if such less number of shares had originally been set forth therein.”
Frances Florida Innes died January 9, 1918, without issue and leaving a will which was probated in Baltimore, Maryland, but which will contained no effective exercise of t'he power of appointment given in Mary Wagner’s will. At the time of the death of Frances Florida Innes, there were alive four persons for whom trusts had been created in the Wagner will, namely, Susan A. Wister and Margaret Potter, each of whom is given one-tenth of the above trust fund, and Maria Easton and Emily Barton, who together are given one-tenth. *186Susan A. Wister has since died, The question before us is, who takes the fund held in trust for Frances Florida Innes under the Wagner will? Is it distributable to the cestui que trusts who are now alive and those who are entitled because of the death of Susan A. Wister, or is it to be divided into nine shares and awarded as well to the descendants, or appointees under wills, of those who predeceased Frances Florida Innes? The earnest argument of counsel for the appellants failed to convince us that the Wagner will can be interpreted so as to permit any of the share of Frances Florida Innes to be awarded to others than those who were living at her death and whose remaining shares were then held by the said trustee. We agree with the learned judge of the, orphans’ court, who dismissed the exceptions below when he said that in order to adopt the argument of the exceptants, who are appellants here, we would be required to rewrite the will. The gift over is in default both of testamentary appointment and of issue .living at' the time of the death of the cestui que trust. There is a power to break succession of issue. The trust is not created for lineal descendants. There is no manifest general intention of the testatrix to secure equality of distribution among the recipients of the ten shares and their issue or appointees under wills. There is little likelihood of intestacy because there is a residuary clause in the will. The reasoning which moved the court in Fox’s Est., 222 Pa. 108; Smith v. Myer, 212 Pa. 51; and Bacon’s Est., 202 Pa. 535, cannot! operate to nullify the effect of language which is clear beyond question. The gift, is not to “those remaining,” which words are frequently construed to mean “others,” but the direction of the testatrix is that1, upon default both of testamentary appointment and issue, the share of each cestui que trust shall be held, assigned or transferred “to the use of such persons and for such estates as the remaining shares shall then be holden by the trustees.” These words are controlling and manifest! a clear intent to exclude the issue and ap*187pointees under a will, of a beneficiary first dying, from participation in tbe share of one dying subsequently without leaving issue then living or having made an appointment by will. Tbe orphans’ court properly awarded one-third of tbe share of Frances Florida Innes to tbe appointees under the will of Susan A. Wister; one-third to tbe present trustee to bold for tbe benefit of Maria Easton and Emily Barton; and one-third to tbe said trustee to bold for Margaret E. Potter.
Tbe assignments of error are overruled and tbe judgment is affirmed.
