The Value of Russell Sage's Estate

A partial list of Mr. Sage's loans In
the six months previous to his death
shows the amounts he loaned and tho
firms that came To borrow from him.
No single loan is for more than $780,
900. The total amount of these loans,
with the interest, which the executors
called In and collected, was more than
s29 900 900.
Mr. Sage also owned large blocks
OF gilt edged bonds and stocks, the
total value of which. figured at the
market price of the day of Mr.. Sage's
death, exceeded $30,O00,000. Most OF
these stocks and bonds are to-day
quoted at lower figures than they
would have brought II sold at market
prices on the day that Mr. Sage passed
away.
Summarizing the whole appraisal,
the gross personality is valued at
s64 ALIAS and the gross realty at
81 ,945, 500, a total OF s66 ,336,7lS. As
told today, the state will receive
1867 ,53S from the legatees as trans
fer tax. The executors will come In
for 1895, 636 each. AZ against the
s25, 900 each left by Mr. Sage to each
of his &c nephews and nieces Mrs

popoEo AUTOS DURING LIFE.
So Jersey City Man Wills Fortune to
Build Airship.

New York.-Jeremiah Carihanne,
Jersey City character who died Of
heart failure a few weeks ago, had an
aversion TO automobiles since one
nearly ran him down several years
ago After that he made sure before
crossing a street that there was no
automobile in sight.
1t was learned after his death that
he was insured for $500. An envelope
was found on he table OF his room. II
was directed to the law firm OF Hlamill
4 Egan. 1t contained his will, which
had been drawn by himself.
After directing that he be given a
modest funeral Carihanne asked that
the balance be used in the perfecting
of an airship, On this subject he
wrote:
Knowing from bitter experience
what II means TO be crippled from
rheumatism and be forced TO flee
from the path Of automobiles, hereby
bestow what Is left OF the insurance
money on some man who is trying ia
perfect an airship, so that there will
ultimately be less running about the
streets and more flying through the

again he drags out chair and sits

six feet ahead Of him.
That he is not In Wall street has
been known. That he is not an officer
or attendant on the boat has also
been known.
