Mr. Wade’s property, which la left to Ills widow, 
amounts to a total value of $65,000. 
The debts which Victor Emanuel left behind him 
are reported to amount to $3,500,000, 
The fortune left by the late apostolical suc¬ 
cessors of St. Peter Is estimated at about the 
sum of $35,000,000. It Is said t hat more than $400,- 
ooo in gold and notes were found in Ills apart¬ 
ments. He left the whole of It as the nucleus of 
a sum from which his successors might- derive an 
Income sufficient to replace that accruing from 
their lost Temporal Power, and enough to render 
them Independent of any aid from their despoiler 
—the Kingdom of Italy.
