Unsalabte Tribune Stock, Bankrupt Rail-
road Stock aud Worthless Notes.
New York Sun, Jan. 81.
Messrs. Charles Storrs and Richard II.
Manning, the executors, have filed in the
the Office of the surrogate of Westchester
county, their report of the final settlement
of the estate of Horace Greeley. The per
sonal estate, as set forth in the original ap-
praisement filed Feb. Is, 1873, was stated at
5000, O84.25; but the condition of the estate
as recently shown in the executors final &C
counting proves that the heirs are left with
very little property. Excepting about
the sales of assets, the heirs get little but
worthless notes of persons to whom Mr..
Greeley lent money unstable Tribune stock,
bankrupt railroad stock and other trash,
from which the executors have been unable
to realize any money.
The first item on the list of property that
cannot be sold, and from what little or
nothing can be realized, is described by the
executors in the schedule as "six shares of
Tribune stock, which have not been sold or
disposed of because they have not at any
time since the issue of letters testamentary
to the executors possessed any market value,
and it has been practically impossible to sell
them" These shares represented $54, 1000
in the appraisement. The heirs have re-
quested that the Tribune stock be held in
the hope that it may be valuable hereafter.
Then follow two notes made by c. Van
derbilt, Jr., representing $45,924 cash lent
to Mr.. Vanderbilt by Mr.. Greeley. The ex-
ecutors say; "These notes have not been
collected for the reason that we have
been unable to collect the same.''
In addition to the above large claim
the executors report that Mr.. Vanderbilt
owes the estate two notes representing ST.
625, draft for 800, and 5000, the last
named amount being represented by note
endorsed by Mrs. Ellen w. Vanderbilt, wife
of c. Vanderbilt, Jr. The executors have
been unable to realize on the notes of M. N.
Wisewall for, 5000, secured by bonds Of the
Metropolitan Mining Company. Although
this item is regarded as about worthless, a
suit is in court for the recovery of the money.
The suit is at standstill now. There is a
note of Edward Bayard for $1,000, which is
of no value, because Mr.. Bayard's debts have
been discarged in bankruptcy. j. A. Sypher,
claim, S5,545; not able to collect. G. A. La
mont borrowed $4,000 of Mr.. Greeley, and
the executors have been unable to collect
more than $3.50, leaving $12,25O un-
paid and marked in the schedule as
lost. Judgment against B. F. Camp.
$9,441. 10; unable to collect. G. w. Wright's
notes for $4,000 stand uncollected, but a
suit for their collection is in court and at a
standstill. N. c. Meeker. note for ST. 500;
unable to collect. S. Sinclair, note for
$4,000. Mr.. Sinclair became bankrupt. and
Mr.. Greeleys estate was entitled to divi-
dend of $45.29, leaving 81, 954.7. as loss.
L. Taylor, note for $1,000; not collected.
Five notes of James Warning, representing
$2,651.75, are unpaid.
Three bonds made by Horace II. Greeley
to Horace Greeley are in the list of unavaii-
able assets. One bond for $4,000 was can
celled by the testator in his lifetime. Mort
cages to secure other bonds were foreclosed,
but only $577 was realized. The claim
against Horace 81. Greeley was inventoried at
$4,000. The executors say: 'The deficiency
| is believed to be of no value.
The note of G. r. Haswell, 81, 600, the
executors have been unable to collect.
Among the valuless or deprecated and un-
saleable securities are the following:
Bonds Chicago and Kansas Southern rail
road company, par value, ST 600; default in
payment of interest was made, and executors
not able to sell bonds.
