The Great Emo Estate Supposed to
Consist Only of Realty.

New York Mail and Express.
A gentleman acquainted with the views
held shortly before his death by Amos r.
Emo is authority for the prediction that
when his viii is filed for probate it will be
found to make disposition of nothing but
lieves was bestowed upon the children
within the last year, after the example set
by other wealthy New Workers, in order
heritance tax which Mr.. Emo regarded as
iniquitous
The fortune acquired by Mr.. Emo during
his prosperous life in dry goods, banking
and building has been estimated at between
$40 900, 900 and $50, 900, 900. But ii is not
believed that the will, when probated, will
personal property placed as high as $10.-
DOC, 600 is supposed to have been divided al
ready among the testator's relatives.
1t is expected that Mr.. Eno'S property in
terests will prove much larger than has
generally been thought. One account of
them, as far back as in 1880, placed them at
,0O0 and despite the voluntary pay
ment of $4200,000 to the Second National
Bank since that time to cover the obliga-
tons of John c: Emo, it is thought that the
figures of the elder Mr.. Eno's fortune have
been materially advanced through saga
cious investment in real estate.
That the supposed disposition of the Emo
personality was consistent with Mr.. Eno's
peculiar views was observed by some of his
friends to-day. The famous banker and
builder is said frequently to have declared
that the State methods of taxation bore I'M
justly on the metropolis as city, and on It's
inhabitants as individuals. He held that
the latter bore not only their own burdens
of government, but the bulk OF the burdens
of the smaller communities of the State,
and he regarded Ii as unjust that these
should not only be the beneficiaries of met
ropolitan taxation, but should impose their
will through state legislation as to the form
taxation might take
TO obviate this Mr.. Emo, according to
one account, declared he was in favor of
separate metropolitan State. to include
