AND SON THE RESIDUE.
Mutual Satisfaction Among the
Principals, While the Attorneys
Smoke the Pipe of Peace.

All is smooth at last in the Kreling
camp. The war which has been raging so
bitterly for months past among the vari-
Gus members OF the Kreling family is now
practically over, and the estate of the late
William Kreling is in fair way to be dis.
tributed without further litigation.
The fight has been bitter one, and
lawyers as well as principals have taken
hand In it. 1t began en- the death OF William
Kreling, almost Immediately after which
event Mrs. KEELING applied for letters of
administration, claiming to be the sole
heiress of the estate.
Against her claims were presented those
of F. w. Kreling. father. and John KraI-
ing, brother of the deceased, each of whom
claimed partnership interest in the en-
terprlSes which belonged to the William
Krsling estate. It was at first decided in
the courts that Mrs. KEELING sbould have
The whole control OF the Tivoli OPERA
Rouse, an order which was subsequently
4 mudlned by the appointment Ct fairy
AhaSk as receiver pending settlement of
? the dispute.
After that trouble arose over the Krel-
Ing furniture factory on Guerrero street.
Mrs. kreling fled suit to determine her
rights. She claimed that the factory bust
ness was owned entirely by her late hus-
band and his father. T. w. Kreling, two
thirds bel onging to William and the re-
naming one-thlrd TO +. w. Kreling. 1t
was alleged that since William Kreling's
death. +. w. Kreling being old and fnfrm
and utterly Incapable CT attending to bust
ness, had admitted to partnership in the
concern his two sons. Martin and John,
and she sued for an Injunction to restrain
these sons from interfering with the man
agement of the firms business.
Martin krellDG's claim was pavar
pressed, aud il is understood that his posi-
tiOn is that OF general manager of the fac
tory business. on salary. But there were
counter-DjunrtiO suits brought on the
other side. and there was much hostility
evlnced between the opposing lawyers,
n. h. LoRenthal on Mrs. KreliDg's be-
half and j. d. Sullivan and II. A. Choyn-
SIX on the side OF the kTelings, father and
son. Then Attorney Friendenrich was
brought into the case to establish peace
The matter was continually cropping up
In the courts until a conflict of Jurisdiction
between Judge Hebbard and Judge ST. der-
son ended in the presiding Judge assigning
all the matters at issue 10 the care of
Judge Sandersnn. One OF the issues in the
case came up before Judge Sanderson yes
terdaY. But TO the general surprise il was
announced that there was prospect of a
speedy settlement, and the case was con-
tinued.
It is now known that the matter is prac-
ticaliy settled. Mrs. Kreling remains sole
mistress of the TiYOli Opera-house. while
all the residue OF the estate, including the
furnf ture factory and all real and personal
PROPERTY, is to be divided between T. W.
kreiIng and his son John. Some prelimi-
naries regarding certain stock and bon is
which are hypothecated TO some extent,
have still TO be settled up, but the above is
the practical basis Of the settlement de-
eided upon.
Mrs. Kreling and her devoted attorney
are perfectly satisfied with the arrange
ment. They regard the Tivoli Opera
house as the one really profitable invest
ment forming part of the estate, despite
the fact that there is only a two years
h ease on the property, subject to renewal
Tor a further term OF two years, while such
a catastrophe as a Ere would imperil the
interests OF the widow as well as Of her
two sons by her first husband. Joseph
kreling, deceased, brother of William.
On the other hand Messrs. Sullivan and
Choynsk are convinced that they have
secured as good bargain for their clients.
They regard the matter ia his light: The
whole estate is worth $4,000. The
Vivoli is probably worth about 500, COO to
100000. Willie the balance of the property,
valuable and tangible property, is esti-
mated al not less than S120 600.
It is said that the elder KreliDg was
from The first aVerse to entering upon a
fight over the property. But be was
keenly anXl0ns, apart from the deter
mining Of bis own interests, to secure
those Of his grandchildren, the children of
his dead son, Joseph. From this time on
il is expected that things will work
smoothly and an immense amount of
trouble ana expense be saved to the estate
So the members of the Kreling family
are once more on good terms, and J. d.
Sullivan and II. II. Lowenthal parade the
corridors of the new City Hall arm in arm,
while Choynski smiles beatifcally upon
Athem.
