The Old story.

NEW YORK, May Sin the Surro-
gate Court to-day much excitement was
created by the devel ,pment of pscu-
liar. interesting and romantic story.
The principal actors are young men of
high social standing and wealth. The
story is as follows In 1869 W. Tilden,
a relative OF Samuel j. Tilden, died,
leaving al estat, worth $4,000. 900.
He distributed it equally among four
sons, William, Wind, Marmaduke
and Beverly B. Tilden. aged 20,
Is, II, and 9 respectively. Jo-
siah Nj. Fiske, William Biodgett,
David BOWS, Chas. Tracy and N. c. Ely
we're appointed executors. La 1870 the
Executors employed an Italian named
Biaggio IS a tutor and manager for the
boyp, and they were seut t, Europe.
In Paris they occupied rooms formerly
occupied by the Prince Of Wales and
other members Of the Royal family of
England (which seems to nave given the
boys the aristocratic itch.-ED.) They
then proceeded to Belln and lived in
sumptuous style, expanding in sixt zen
months about $4,000. The eldest Of
the four, William, purchased q Place at
Coburg for $40, 900, and with it the
title OF Baron. While in his palace he
became very much interested in the
wife of the former owner, and very soon
was under the complete control Of her
husband, to whom he gave a power of
att ,rney and permitted him to purchase
furniture for the palace. In 1872 the
executors discovered the condition of
affairs abroad, and by the payment Of
very large sums of money the young
man was extricated from his difficulty.
The four brothers then conceived the
idea of ball in honor Of Americans in
Germany. They hired an immense hail
at great expense and gave the hs II, which
was widely ,mmented on. When they
r. turned home the executors footed up
their expenses for two years and four
months as $lS5, 600. They were sent
Harvard College, but did not remain
there. William was made executor of
the est lie, and in 1877 became . part
ner in the business formerly carried on
by his father. This he was compelled
to give up, owing to his inabllrt, t,
manage it. Many accountings were
had for which large counsel fees were
paid. In 1877 Gus:avus Thebsud was
appointed guardian for Beve, ly Tilden.
He received 81, $50 Afterwards, it is
alleged, he was locked up in Ludlow
street Jail for eleven months for the mis-
appropriation Of SIS, 600 belonging to
another est ate for which he was attor-
ney.
From an accounting now in progress
before the referee, it appears that the
two eldest sons have been paid $l75,
600 more than their share. 1t i. 80
