ILNDLIIIILI’S WILL.
Cornelius Only $1,500,000.
in ESTATE or SEVENTY MILLIONS.
The Elder Son’s Marriage Lost Him
His Place at the Head of the
. V‘ 'Family—Brother Gives Him
Six Million Dollars.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-.-Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, second living son oft-he late
mornelius Vanderbilt, is. made'rfresiduary'
Egatee under his father’s'will, while to
the eldest living son. Cornelius. is left on-
Iii $500,000 absolutely and $1,000,000 in
Hust. Alfred has, however, added mean
3 $6,000,000 to his elder brother‘s share
so as to put him'on an equality with“ his
manger sister and younger brother. The
estate is now estimated at something
aver $70,000,000, of which between $40,-
000,000'ai'1‘d $50,000,000'will go to Al-
fled; at present, the income only of the
wesentrresidue, butfhalf absolutely when
Kris-‘30‘years old and the other half ab-
solutely when he is 35. .
As a preliminary to the filing of the
will today a summary of the document
. was given out last night by Senator De-
' pr 7 at his residence.
;y the terms 'of the will Cornelius Van-
derbilt, the eldest son, whose marriage
Vfith Grace Wilson created a breach be-
tive'ent him and his father, gets only the
r330 bequests mentioned. One of these,
the $500,000 given absolutely, is part of
355,000,000 fund left by the late XV. I-I..
Vanderbilt, over which the late Cornelius
had the power of apportionment. As to
the trust fund of $1,000,000, Cornelius is
tosseceive the income only. Cornelius re-
ceives none of the family heirlooms. The
medal congress gave to Commodore Van-
derbilt goes to Alfred, to be transmitted
to hiseldest son, and so on down the line
ofi‘eflest sons. The will practically es-
flablishes Alfred as the eldest son.
Speculation concerning Cornelius’ ac-
fiimin the event of his being cut off by
{firearms of the will was set at rest last
night when Senator Depew, as an appen-
dix to the will, gave out the following
statement;
fi‘fi‘il'ien: Alfred Vanderbilt returned, he
shielded, from brotherly afiection and for
gaming: harmony, to take out of his own
inheritance and give to his brother Cor-
.Inelius a sum sufficient to make the for-
ntmae-ef Cornelius the same as that of his
'->brotliers~ and sisters. This has been ac-
ap'ziedmmflornelius in the same spirit.”
,. The brothers and sisters do not all fare
tralikey but‘thensum which Cornelius will
' 'vrgcaisiezfrom~-his-brother is put at $5,875.-

other fib'ur children receive bequests ei-
‘ fie‘r outright or in trust which amount to
. ~_fi,875,000 more than Cornelius receives
' 35' the will. Mrs. Gertrude Whitney
takes $1,000,000 more under a codicil.

’54 Cannot Buy Freight can.
w" PIAATTSBURG, N. Y., Oct. 27.-The
mateangay Railroad company, being un-
abl‘eto» buy any freight or passenger cars
from the car manufacturers, has decided
to convert the'old buildings of the Platts-
hug Foundry company, in this place, in-
tima- our factory. The works are already
in operation with a small force of men,
and the number of employees will be in—
creased» as rapidly as the machinery ar-
Hives... The works are now turning out
charcoal cars. Beginning \early next
spring this company proposes to operate
its mines at Lyon mountain, Standish
and other places at their full capacity,
raising 1,500 tons of ore daily. This
will mean work for several hundred more
men-
What Cuba Needs.
HAVANA. Oct. 27.—The Epoca. dis-
cussing the wants of Cuba, says: “\Vhat
Cuba needs are free compulsory educa-
tion; white immigration exclusively, with
speci-al=‘indi1cements to families, radical
imm'ovement of modes of living in the
country and" towns, free trade with the
United States and state sovereignty sim-
ilar to that enjoyed by the states of the
American Union. Otherwise our country
will remain as it was before the war—an
asylum for beggars. If those who love
Cuba do not wish the island to become
something worse than a home for the in-
sane, they will everywhere preach the
doctrine of annexation.”
immense Ore Shipment.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 27.———Contracts en-
tered into and pending indicate that an
effort will be made next year to carry
down the lakes and by boat 17,798,000
ions of ore. which is far in excess of any-
thing yet attempted. The vosSels neces-
sary for this are being engaged. As the
total shipment of all commodities down
the lakes this year has been about 18,-
000,0(W tons there is every prospect that
the shippers of grain and lumber will be
compelled to use the railroad.
