CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.

vice presidency of both roads. He had
already very near score of years Of
hard business experience to his credit.
Without tremor he assumed financial
control of these vast properties.
When William II. Vanderbilt withdrew
from the presidency and created the
board of control, which he himself con-
trolled, of the reorganized system, young
Cornelius was made chairman of the
board of control of the New York Cen
tral, Lake Shore and Michigan Central
roads.
This meant that he was the virtual rul-
er of these properties. He had at that
time salary of $1,000 year, not an
extravagant stipend for a railroad presi-
dent. The commodore had given him a
home when he married and some odds
and ends of stocks worth about $4,000
year.
At his grandfather's death Cornelius
reaped the first fruits of his high favor
with the elder Cornelius. While the 9TH
er sons of William II. received $1,000
600 each he got $5,000,000. Besides, it
is said, he had speculated both wisely and
WELL and men in the street said that the
favorite grandson of Commodore Wander
bilt was worth $10,000,0OO.
Mr.. Vanderbilt inherited from his IA
ther So 100000. His wealth increased
greatly every year and years ago was es-
timated at not less than S1OOO0O,000. 1t
is now believed to be nearly $500, ,000, 900.
In 1881 he built the magnificent house
which he occupied at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-seventh street, at cost, it is said,
of $1,000,00O. He also owned the fine
place at Newport known as "rhe Break
ers," which he bought for 100000 in
1854
He was alive also to the interests Of
art, science, benevolence and education.
He was trustee and chairman of the
executive committee of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, trustee of the Muse
um Of Natural History and trustee of
Columbia college. A number of years
ago he erected Vanderbilt hall for Yale
university, as II memorial of his eldest
son, William III. Vanderbilt, who died
while a student in his junior year.

Sampson's Sea Service.

The present understanding at the
navy department is that Admiral
Sampson will relinquish his command
of the North Atlantic squadron on
October 3, Immediately following the
conclusion of the reception of Admiral
Dewey. The vacancy in the Boston
Navy Yard, caused by the death of
Admiral Picking, will give one oppor-
tunity for suitable shore command
for the admiral if he desires it, after
he shall have taken short rest.
Captain Taylor, just relieved of the
command OF the "Indiana," has been
suggested as a candidate for the com
mand of the Boston yard, in view of
the semi official denial of the report
that there is to be any change in the
command Of the bureau OF navigation.

PAYMENT REFUSED.
ComptrolIcr Morgan Decides Against
CnnnI Contractors.

ALBANY, Sept. 11.-State Comptrol.
Ter William j. Morgan received letter
in July last from Superintendent of Pub
lie Works Partridge, asking il he was Ia
possession of any facts or information
which would lead him to refuse to honor
drafts for the payment of the final ac-
counts on nine of the canal improve
ment contracts on which the work was
reported TO have been completed.
The comptroller has heretofore decided
that Illegal and improper allowances
were made on contracts Nos. l and 2,
middle division, Erie canal, amounting
to $21S.20I.45, and his examination Of
contracts Nos. 3 and ) of the same divi.
sion, just completed, has resulted in his
finding improper charges on these two
canal contracts amounting to SIG, 10O6.
He finds in the disposition of these
four contracts that no more money is
due to the contractors, because they al
ready have been paid more than they
were legally entitled to by reason of such
improper extra allowances.
