Vanderbilt Dead.

W. H. Vanderbilt, who dropped
dead in New York, Tuesday the Sth
inst, leaves the following amount
Of money laying around lose:
Mr.. Vanderbilt was, it is thought.
richer than any single member of the
Rothschild family. The duke of
Westminster is said to be worth
5000, 100000, but Mr.. Vanderbilt
was richer, because the dudes money
only pays him about per cent, be-
ing mainly in lands and houses Mr..
Vanderbilt had a much larger in
come. Last year he held S54,o00,-
600 of 4 per cent bonds and later he
reduced this amount to $40, 700, 900
of government 3 1-2 per cents. HIS
government bonds were worth almost
$75, 100000. At the time he owned
240. 900 shares of Michigan central,
800, 900 shares of Northwestern and
200, 900 shares of Lake Shore. He
is said to have sold considerable Lake
Shore lately. In addition he had
0,000 Chicago and Rock Island,
10000 Delaware and Lackawanna,
and about 20, shares in other rail
roads, making in all about 100000
shares of railway stocks, also SIP,
100000 worth of railroad bonds,
S3, 100000 of state and city bonds,
and S2,000,O00 in various manu-
featuring stocks and mortgages. He
valced his honse on Filth Avenue.
with its art treasures at $4,000, ,00G.
His ordinary household expenses
were 100000 year, In 1854 be
gave q ball that cost $4,000. He
loved horses and was a good judge of
horse flesh. He sold Maud S for
$4,000.
WORTH TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was worth $780,
100000 Although his fortune
shrank last year materially through a
big decline in stocks and through
depression the "bull'' movement of
the past few weeks brought it up
again. His income was calculated
as follows: S2,372,000 year from
governments bonds; 1891 900 from
railrsad stocks; S576,695 from
miscellaneous securities; total over
100000 year, or S2S,000 a
day; $1,000 an hour, or S19.75 u
minute. He made no ostentatious
display of his wealth and was CHART
. able, although in this he had to be
quiet or he would have been over
run by impostors. He was shrewder
in business than many supposed he
was. He knew enough to sell $780,
900 shares of New York Central five
years ago at 120 and buy govern
ments at par.
Vanderbilt's fortune, if divided in
Audrain county, would give every
man, black ami white, women and
children over $4,000 each.
