MORE TROUBLE FOR w. II. VANDERBILT.-
Mr.. VIM. II. Vanderbilt is threatened with
renewed trouble and perhaps long litiga-
ton with his brother, Cornelius jeremiah
Vanderbilt. 1t will be remembered that
the contesting of the commodore's will,
begun by Cornelius J. and some of his sis
tiers, was discontinued in a sudden and
dramatic manner, the decision of some OF
the Withdrawing contestants not reaching
thelr lawyers until after the legal gentle.
men had arrived at the Surrogates Court
and made ready for the fight The
abandonment of the contest caused great
surprise in the legal ranks. At that time
1t was understood, and indeed it was as
serted by some of the persons interested
that the contest had been dropped in con
sequence of the promise of VIM. III. Van
derbilt to treat his brother and sisters in ,
liberal manner. But Cornelius J. Wander
bilt now declares that he was promised ,
round million of dollars, and has instituted
suit against his brother for breach of con
tract, in failing to hand over that amour
to him.-N. Y Tribune.
