prAisal of the Aston real estate as
agreed on by Lewis Cass Ledyard,
counsel for the estate. and John Quinn,
who is the special counsel for the state
comptroller, was slightly in excess Of
$62, 100000 not including the country
property at Rhinebeck.
Al of the estate, with the exception
Of about S13,000,000, was left by John
Jacob Aston to William Vincent Aston.
The deductions to be made from the
estate are $5,O00,000 left in trust for
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, the income
Of which she is to have as long as she
remains single; 100000 left in trust
for Muriel Aston, daughter of Mrs. Ava
Willing Aston, who obtained a divorce
from John Jacob Astor, and $4,000, 900
left to John Jacob Aston. the postum
nous son Of Colonel Aston
To Delve Into Affairs.
William Vincent Aston appears to be
making preparations to take big in
terest in the management of his at
fairs.
Young Astor, like all rich mems sons,
is much annoyed by continual reports
Of his engagement to this, or that young
woman of his acquaintance. The names
of several young women have been con-
nected with his from time to time, but
he has been careful to explain that he
is not engaged and does not intend to
marry for some time to come.
Recently Vincent Aston leased for
the winter the house Of Lloyd s. Bryce,
on Fifth avenue, and he is now there
with his mother and sister, who ar
rived from England fortnight ago.
