New York, Jan. 4 A petition -was filed to-day in the Surrogate's Court by Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr. in which complaints were mad against William H. Vanderbilt and other sxn ecutors of the Vanrtexbilt -will. The petition prays the court to issue a citation requiring the executors to show cause why they should not be superseded, and that they be enjoined from further action in the premises until the matter in controversy shall be disposed of. Hearing in the matter lias been set for Monday next. The petition charges, among other things, that Willam H. Vanderbilt is speculat ing in stocks on a gigantic scale, and that to carry on such speculations he has used and is using the assests of lio pctnt.fi to a verv larse extent as collaterals on loans, or otherwise, and has borrowed and is owing over the sum of $18,000,000 for speculative purposes; that he has lost in such speculations several mil lions of dollars; that he is of an excita ble and reckless temperament, and is endeavoring to sustain the will by ex pending large and unnecessary sums of money to procure and intimidate witnesses, and has declared that to sustain the will he would spend the whole estate in litigation; that he ir not only wild and reckless in his finan cial operations, but is enlarging his railroad interests by paying more than the interests purchased are v.orth, and is using the assets of the estate for this Durnose. Greatly to its hazard. That ho is contracting a large debt to the railroad corporation, of which he is president, by withdrawing for his own benefit large sums of money from them, to which their creditors or stock holders are entitled; that such money is withheld by him and appropriated to his own use; that the aggregate sum thus diverted is very large, and is recklessly invested and does not in crease the value of the estate, while subiecting him to large liabilities which may be enforced against him at any time; and that his habits, associations, speculations, and expenses are such as to create the belief that the prop erty he controls will ultimately he wasted.
