Geo. Robb, who died IN the oil regions Of
Pennsylvania, a few days age, has left an es-
tate OF 81. 1000 900 dollars in money and oil

city, their mother, Mrs. Sarah Meet having
been a sister of Mr.. Robb. Mr.. John RObb
and Mr.. WIN. Stone, Of Kentucky, heirs OF
Mr.. Geo. RObb, have gone on TO investigate
the true status of the estate. No further news

Parent, Bridgeport, KY; Susan A. and
Charles NJ. Meet, of this city; Geo. W. NeeI

Lexington. There were nine of the Robt

direct heirs, except George, so that there
will be eight parcels Of inheritors. We trust
that the reports may have foundation 10 fact.
Much less than thirty five million dollars
would give every heir i handsome com
potency.
