John Sleeper Clarke's Daughter Objects to Certain Arrangements. Philadelphia, Jan. 7 - It is likely that there will be some dispute in a matter arising in the affairs of the estate of John Sleeper CLARKE, the famous comedian, who died in England in September, 1899, and whose estate owns the Walnut Street Theatre. In his will Mr. CLARKE, after making numerous private and public bequests, left the residue for equal division between his four children, Asia, Adrienne, Creston, and Wilfred. There is a plan to reduce the $100,000 mortgage held by the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company on the Walnut Street Theatre to $70,000 by applying $10,000 per annum for three years of the income derived from the building. In a petition presented Saturday in the Orphans' Court, by Henry E. GARSED, the administrator of the estate, it was stated that all parties concerned have agreed to the arrangement except the daughter, Mrs. Asia MORGAN, who resides in London. Mrs. MORGAN, it was related, while having notice of the proceedings, refuses to assent to or oppose the same or take any part therein. Judge HANNA made an order on Mrs. MORGAN to appear on the 6th of next month and show cause why the rents of the property mentioned should not be impounded and applied to the payments of taxes, water, rent, and interest. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
