The Anaconda Standard

People who have a grudge against their immediate descendants but who still wish to keep their money in the family after their demise, are commended to the example of Michael Reilly, a Wheeling, W. Va., millionaire who died the other day, leaving his immense estate to be divided among his grandchildren's descendants only. As the youngest of the grandchildren is now only five years old, and the will provides that not a cent of the money can be touched until all the grandchildren are dead, the prospects of a division of the estate are necessarily remote. No legacies are left to the children or grandchildren. All of the fortune is to be held in trust by Bishop John J. Kain of the Catholic diocese of Wheeling, Mgr. Sullivan and their successors until the terms are complied with. Reilly's children are all grown and married and eminently respectable, and may only become beneficiaries of the estate in case they become destitute, in this event the executors may relieve their wants, but in no case use for the purpose more than is necessary. In point of oddity and general crankiness, Mr. Reilly's will has few superiors on record.
