This inheritance tax amounts to $500 272
which has been paid and receipted for by

what was the property of Cornelius Van

The estate Of Cornelius Vanderbilt was
supposed TO have been worth at least sl25,
100000. At the time of Cornelius Wander
bits death, last September. Chauncey NJ
Depew estimated that the entire estate
was worth $7oo0o.ooo
According to the terms of the Wander
bilt will, In addition to the N,250.000 re-
ceived from the trust fund left by his
father and 81, 600 from the trust fund
left for the use OF his mother Alfred re-

disinherited To Alfred was also bequeath-
ed all that remained after the distribution
or the specific amounts. Out of this por-
tion Alfred gave to Cornelius 5000 600.
The estimate of Senator Depew put the
residuary estate at s3t 500 900. In the APP
praisement just completed the amount Is
much less. but no record OF the inheritance
tax from this part of the estate will be
made until Alfred reaches the age OF 25
