SEFTCU OF HIS LIFE.

Cornelius jeremiah Vanderbilt was fifty
years old. He was one of thirteen children
and one of three sons In early lie he
| lived with his father Commodore Van
derbilt at his place on Staten Island
but when he was eighteen years old he left his home
on account of some iancied injustice on the part Of
his father toward him. The Commodore allowed
him between 800 and 300 a month to live on
In 1856 he married Miss Williamson Hartford Conn
She bore him no children and lived only few years
after her marriage. From infancy Cornelius j. was
an invalid and was subject to epileptic fits. These
were most severe while he was under eighteen
years gof age The fits weakened his mind and
untitled him for business. He held
several clerical positions while he was young
man. and was a clerk in tho revenue service i'll this
city under Collector Joshua Z. Bailey. In recent
wears he had lived in Hartford, Conn.,. and only
recently had erected handsome house for his own
uso in that city This winter he had been travel
ling in the South for the benefit ofhs health and two
weeks ago he returned to NewYOrk from Hot
Springs. Arkansas. He then took rooms at the
Glcnham Hotel where his death occurred yesterday
Cornelius J. Vanderbilt bccamt most prominent
when he began the suit in the Supreme Court on
Nav 10. 1877 against his brother William II. Van
derbllt for 81 100000 This amount, he claimed,
had been promised him by his brother,
in consideration of his not opposing the probate of
the Commodores will. Commodore Vanderbilt died
on January 4. 1877, and the will was offered,
for probate four days later In it Cornelius J. Van
derllt was left a life interest in only $200.000 the
total value Of the property disposed Of being esti-
mated at 100000, 600 Cornelius in March filed
his objection to the probate of the will and it
in consequence of that action his part as
he alleged that the offer of the money
was made Ii was accepted and the will
wa, admitted. In May, william II. Vanderbilt
having failed to pay over the amount alleged to
hav, been agreed upon. Cornelius began the suit
which brought him into prominence. In the mean
time his sister, Mrs. lie Ban, later Mrs. Berger,
also began suit against the probate of
the will Great public interest centred
in the trial but it brought to sudden close on
March /, 1879, by a private arrangement. Mrs.
Tc Ran received 81 100000 for agreeing to a
Compromise and Cornelius had his debts paid,
amounting TO 43OO0O0, and was given 81 l,00O,O 900

against his brother. The ill admitted to
