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superseded, and that they be enjoined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.
