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.” * Lost Her Sails Nassau.

The national executive board of the United Mine Work ers I’nlon complete! its work and the members left for their respectWc homes to-day. leaving President IVnna and Sec re ar> M' Hrdye to complete th*' arrange ments for the convention to h* h* Id here Feb 12. There will b* % two conventions, one of which will b* composed of delegates from local assembles of th.- Knights of Labor ata. hed to district No 135, and the other will b* h joint meeting of the Knights of Liboi an! the Progressive lnton dele gates, i ompoetng the t'nlted Mine Work ers’ I’nion. If has heretofore been the custom f-*r th I mied Mine Workers’ convention to b* held first, but for obvious reasons, th** Knights of Labor will meet first this time. Two calls have be**n formulated hv the executive board, one of which is secret and is being sent to Knights of Labor as semblies. and the othei contains nothing 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. A Supreme Court Case Advunced.
