THE MORN ING NEWS: TUESDAY,
WILL OF mm KELLY.
His Third Son, Robert J.. Apparsntly
to Get Nothin?.
From the New York
Flufrene Kelly’s will was filed in the
surrogate's office yesterday.
A singular feature about th* 4 document
is that the famous banker leaves the
bulk of his fortune to five of his six
children in equal shares. His third son.
Robert J. Kelly, is apparently cut off
without a penny. Rol*ert’s name, in fact,
not u*cuf in the will.
When a&ked about this omission yes
terdav Paul Fuller of Couiert Pros*.,
who drew the will, said:
Robert J. K*d!y is ail\*\ and is a son
of the late Eugene Kellv. having made
his hom~ in the family resident e, J3 West
Fifty-first street
“Was he disinherited absolutely? Was
no provision trad* for his support?’* Mr.
Fuller was asked.
The will speaks for itself,*’ replied
the lawyer. “I think thit you will find
that the v.lll bequeaths nothing to Rob
ert.”
“Why was he cut off?’’
“That.” answered Mr. Fuller, “is a mat
ter I cr.nnot discuss. You will have to
excuse me."
At the Kelly residence ali information
was refused regarding the will and its
•conditions.
Mr. Kelly left a fortune estimated by
some at over t2s.Mfifi.ooo. By the terms of
his will he bequeaths SIIO,OOO to charity.
There Is nothing in the papers in the sur
rogate's office to show even approximate
ly what the estate is worth.
The will was executed on Feb. 16, l#m,
and the executors named in it are the
sons, Eugene Kelly. Jr.. Edward Kelly
and Thomas H. Kelly, Paul Fuller and the
testator’s secretary, l>aniel F. Sullivan.
The executors and trustees are directed to
discharge all obligations and to liquidate
his interest in whatever firm of business
lie may be interested as partner.
To his wife, Margaret A. Kelly, the tes
tator leaves his city residence, 33 West
Fifty-first street, with all the furniture,
books, pictures and other contents, also
the stable. 135 West Fifty-first street, and
the horses, carriages, and harness and
other stable fixings. She is to receive ab
solutely s2oo,ooo*in cash and an annual in
come of $25,000 during her life.
Eight separate trust funds of $25,000 each
are created for the benefit of the grand
children. Mary Dolores Beales. Adelaide
Elizabeth Beales, Eugene Joseph Beales,
James A. (. Beales. Louisa Sarah Beales.
Henry de Soto Beales, and John Charles
Beales, the children of his daugh
ter Eugenie, the widow of
James (i. Beales. These trusts
are created for twenty years, and ml the
expiration of that time the grandchildren
are to receive the principal of the trusts.
To those executors and trustees who may
! qualify, and to Archbishop Corrigan,
jointly, the testator leaves SIIO,OOO, to be
; divided among such Catholic asylums and
: other charitable Institutions of New York
as they may approve and in such propor-
they may judge best, SIO,OOO there
; of to go to such Hebrew charitable insti
tutions as they may approve.
“This expression of my preference,” the
testator says, “is not to be construed as
: creating a trust or conferring any rights
I on any institutions such as are above sug
gested, nor does it subject the legatees to
1 any obligation to account for the disposi
tion of the fund, the legacy being made to
them absolutely. 1 make this expression
of preference in favor of the Catholic and
Hebrew institutions solely because other
i denominations are wealthier and better
able to cart* for their poor.”
All Mr. Kelly's rights and Interests in
the American College at Home, and all
powers of appointment or privileges of
any character unjoyed by him in regard
to that college, he bequeathed to his son,
Eugene Kelly, Jr.
To his son Edward Kelly ho gives all his
rights and interest as patron or fellow,
in perpetuity, in the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, appointing him his successor In
that institution.
Numerous bequests are made to
nephews and nieces and friends in tlie
west, and sums ranging from $4,000 down
ward are left to his housekeeper and other
old servants.
The residue of the estate is left in trust
with the executors and trustees, to be
divided into five equal parts, for the bene
fit of his children, Eugenie, the widow of
James <. Beales; Eugene Kelly, Jr., Ed
) ward Kelly, Thomas H. Kelly, and Mar
garet A. Kelly.
These trusts are created for twenty
years, and if at the expiration of that
time these children are still alive, the
trusts will be terminated ami the principal
go to the children, with the power to dis
pose of the principal by will.
A concluding clause of the will provides
j that if any of the sons or the daughter,
Eugenie, desire to purchase any real es
tate or to go into any business, the trus
tees may pay to them a sum not exceeding
SIOO,OOO out of the share set apart for
them*
The testator also stipulates that
his Temple Court property, and
tho annex adjoining it in Nas
sau street, and also his real es
tate in Savannah. (*a., shall not be sold
until, in the opinion of the executors, it
would be detrimental to hold them longer.
In the body of his will Mr. Kelly takes
occasion to express his great admiration
for his fried.d, Joseph Donohue, of San
Francisco. It is an unusual tribute and
most fervently worded. The testator says:
“During our long association, his kindly
character has been ever the same hjkl has
so endeared him to me that T cannot rest
satisfied to part from him w ithout giving
utterance to this testimony. His ample
fortune would make it idle for me to attest
mv feeling toward him by any legacy, but
T trust that h*- may receive from my wife
some personal article of mine which will
remain to him a rvm’nder of his friend’s af
fection.” *

Chief Justice Fuller Renders a Decision
Againr t the State.
Washington, Jan. 7.—in an opinion rend
by Chief Justice Fuller to-day, the hii
preme ro/i derided against the claims of
the state of South Carolina In a suit In
volving possession of a piece of property
in Columbia. S. (*., E. B. Wesley of New

commissioners of the sinking fund,
brought suit in the United States court
against J. E. Tindall, secretary of slate,
and K. H. Boyles, a caretaker employed
by Tindall, for possession of what is
known as Agricultural hall, with the lot
upon w hich it stands, about three-eighths
of an acre, an area valued at $18.16'.
O. W. Buchanan, the attorney-general
of South Carolina, intervened In the suit
and filed a motion that Wesley's bill be
dismissed, on the ground that th* property
belonged to the The motion ex
pressly stipulated that It was made “with
out submitting the right of the state to
the jurisdiction of the court.”

of Wesley. From the judgment of the
court upon this verdict the attorney gen

Reviewing the case. Chief Justice Fuller
said the state of South Carolina did not
appear as a party of record and that she
had expressly declined to submit her
right to the jurisdiction of the court. The
appeal was therefore dismissed.

of interest to th* general public. The
greatest Interest hinges on the probable
action of the Knights of Labor conven
tion. which will meet at Worthen’s hall
op Mondav. Fob. IJ. Fpon the action
taken at that meeting depends to a great
extent the business whit h will be trans
acted by the other convention, which is
culled to meet the following day.
The secret circular is understood to em
body- charges against Messrs. Hayes and
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor and
advisers the miners’ local assemblies to
send delegates Instructed to vote to cut
loose from the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor.
On the other hand a secret circular is
being sent out by Messrs. Hayes and Sov
ereign appealing to the miners to with
draw from the I’ntted Mines Works and
connect themselves directly with the gen
eral assembly of th* Knights of Labor.
Thus the issue is drawn anti upon these
two lines the tight between the Knights of
Labor ani t’nlted Mine Workers’ offi
cials will be waged when the convention
meets. Should the mine workers’ officials
win, the result w ill be a loss of h.OOt) mem
bers to the Knights of Labor, ami should
Messrs. Hayes and Sovereign come out
victorious the result will be practically a
disorganization of the mine workers or
ganization
Grand Master Workman Sovereign and
Secretary llayes, together with the gen
eral executive board of the Knights of
Labor, will be here to make the fight of
their lives and the same wil bo true of
the mine workers’ officials.
In view of the fact that the fight will be
bitter and the spec* h making will proba
bly be unlimited, il is not unlikely that
the Knights of Labor convention will
complete its business in one day, as con
templated by the call. I’nless the dele
gates should la* practically of one mind
and conclude to cut tin* wrangle between
their two sets of offii lals short and decide
the quest lon ill issue themselves, there Is
danger that the entire week will be con
sumed by Hu* Knights of Labor conven
tion. For the reasons stated the conven
tions' will he the most important and sen
sational ever held by any branch of or
ganized labor.
