New York. Sept. 1S.-The funeral Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt, who died yester-
day morning, is to be held at 10 O'Clock
on Friday morning in st. Barthoio-
news church, in which Mr. Vanderbilt
was a pew holder. The service will be

ent. The clergy of the church will
assist the rector. DR.. Greer VIII be a.
| the Vanderbilt residence at $3.50 o'clock
| to conduct short service of prayer
before the church service.
| The main body of the church, in
Guiding the pews along the central
aisle, is to be reserved for members OF
the family and the associates of Mr..
Vanderbilt in the various business and
charitable institions in which he was
directly interested. The pews opening
from the two side aisles are to be OPEN
ed to the general public. There are to
be no tickets of admission. A squad of
policemen is to assigned to keep order
outside the church.
AS the body is carried into the church
the organist will play Chopin's funeral
march. The following named honor
airy pail bearers will walk behind the
coffin: John Hone, George R. Fearing,
Chauneey M. Depew, j. Piermont Nor
gan, H. b. Ledyard, Frederick Bron-
son, Samuel F. Barger, w. Bayard Cut
ting, George A. Croker and George
MacCulloch Miller.
Choir of Sixty Voices.
The music of the church will be furn-
ished by a choir of sixty voices. I'M
mediately after the service the casket
will be taken Immediately to the foot
of Forty-Second street, where a boat
is to be in waiting to convey the fun
eral party to Staten Island for the bur-
ial at Newdrop in the Vanderbilt tomb.
The party is to be numerous enough to
fill twenty coaches.
Senator Depew tonight denied the
report which had gained currency that
Mrs. Vanderbilt was dangerously ILL.,
Mr.. Depew said that she had suffered
from the shock, as was natural, but
was in good health tonight
death mask was taken tonight by
representative of Augustus ST. Gau-
dens, who will make a bust.
There has been no word from Alfred
G. Vanderbilt, who was cabled to at
Yokohoma, Japan.
Mr.. Vanderbilt'S death will have no
effect on the Vanderbilt properties,
said Mr.. Depew today. William K
Vanderbilt. with his brothers consent,
took his position at their head two
years ago. Nothing will have to be
sold in the settlement of the estate
Mr.. Vanderbilt's life was not insured"
Provisions of the Will.
The friends of the family are yet in
ignorance of the provisions of the will.
Mr. Depew said that William K Van
derbilt is in charge of everything, as
he is the head of the family. A gem
tleman familiar with the Vanderbilt
interests said today:
No one, knows the exact value of
Cornelius Vanderbilt's estate, although
he kept his properties carefully item
lied, he could not tell their value, as
the values fluctuated. His estate in
creased about one-third in value dur
ing the last eighteen months. I do
not think the general public will be
made familiar with the items of his
estate. Sometime the gross value of it
may be known so as to comply with
the law concerning Inheritance tax, but
1 don't believe the estate of Cornelius
Vanderbilt will be laid bare as was
that of Jay Gould.
1t is proboble that several trust
funds have been formed under the will.
so that the estate may be entailed for
at least two generations. Mr.. Wander
bilt left some large sums to charitable
projects, undoubtedly, and these fig
ures may be made public. l would not
be surprised If special trust fund had
been formed for the benefit of the in
FAINT son of Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr."
