Charles Astor Bristed died in Washington about a year ago, leaving two sons. Charges Henry Maine Bristed. a minor, and John Jacob Astor Bristed. Mr. Bristed was a nephew of John Jacob Astor, and Astor at his death, in 1819, gave him a life estate in the country seat at Hell Gate, and the income of $150,000 to descend to his children. In the opening of Eighty-eighth and Eighty-ninth streets an award of $9000 was made to Mr. Bristed, and the same amount to the heirs. The money was deposited with a trust company. Application was made yesterday in Supreme Court Chambers upon a petition that the trust pay one-half of the $9000 to the minor children. Decision reserved.
