The Aston Fortune.

IL Is believed that the estimate of &c.,
600, 200 which is made Of the shares of
his fathers estate which John Jacob
AstOr received is under the mark. Upon
the division of the property which Will
liam 3. Astor left his two sons. William
Astor's share was in~ventoried at about
$50, 700, 900, and while his family have
lived extensively, yet they did not be-
gin to spend his income, and although
he did nothing to increase his wealth,
the yearly accommodations are believed
to nave increased the property by some
$15, 900 900. Deducting from this the
5000 ,OC9 given to his daughters, or
So, 900 900 apiece, and the charge on the
estate of $500 900 a year for the benefit
of his widow, it would still leave for
John Jacob Aston between $50, 900, 900
and so, 900, 900.
1t Is not the amount. however, which
the young man receives that causes spe-
cial interest. The sum l. so large that a
million either way IS of little account.
The question which interests people here
is what is John Jacob AstoE going to do
with his property: If he becomes, as his
cousin William Waldorf has, a man of
keen business instinct, he Will have to
change remarkably. He has one trait
Of the AstOrs perhaps more strongly de-
velOped than it was in any Of the others,
and it is a trait which in some men
would be called parsimoniousness. He
is an extremely close fgurer, and is of
such disposition that when he secures a
dollar he feels like making it a prisoner
for life. Whether he branches out as a
daring and conspicuous builder of real
estate properties or not his fortune is
certain to increase steadily, because no
rich man in New York, not even Russell
Sage, will figure more carefully over his
expenditures, both personal and bust
ness, than John Jacob Astor will do
