CHARLES P. PALMER,
Passes Away Suddenly in Bellport, Long Island., After an Operation for Appendicitis.
BROTHER OF COURTLANDT PALMER.
Manager of Miss Hellen Barry, the Actress, at Whose Summer Cottage He Died.
HEIRS TO A VAST ESTATE.
Charles P. Palmer, son of the late Courtland (sic) Palmer, Sr., and brother of the late Courtland (sic) Palmer, who was the founder and president of the Nineteenth Century Club, died yesterday at the cottage of Miss Helen Barry, the actress in Belport, L.I.
Mr. Palmer was attacked with appendicitis on Tuesday and Dr. Toms, of Bellport, who attended him, called Drs. McBarney and Murry in consultation.
An operation was performed on Friday night, but peritonitis ensued, resulting in death.
The elder Courtlandt Palmer owned at one time nearly all the property around Union Square, and his estate was valued at about $7,000,000.
The heirs were Courtlandt Palmer, Chrles P. Palmer, another brother, and Mrs. Draper, wife of the late Professor Draper.
CHALLENGED BY BLISSERT.
Charles P. Palmer's interest in the estate was a life one, and the income was variously estimate at from $25,000 to $40,000 a year. His share in the estate now goes to the other heirs-at-law, Mrs. Courtland (sic) Palmer and her children, and Mrs. Draper.
Charles P. Palmer lived much of the time in the old family mansion at Stonington, Conn., and in this city he stopped at hotels. He made his home for many years at the Morton House, which with the Union Square Theatre is a part of the Palmer estate. When the Morton House was rebuilt after it was ruined by fire, Mr. Palmer had a dispute with Mr. Vernam, the lessee, as to the space to be taken for the new theatre. The dispute was settled amicably by "Shed" Shook.
When the Union Square Theatre was reopened with the Helen Barry Dramatic Company in "Bataille de Dames, Palmer came out as Miss Barry's financial backer. The play was not a distinguished success. Robert Blisser, in May, 1888, had a dispute with Mr. Palmer over a lease, and he sent Mr. Palmer a challenge to fight a duel.
HIS DEATH A SURPRISE
Mr. Blisssert asked Captain Costello to act as his second and the Captain jocularly consented. Mr. Palmer smiled when he received the challenge. The duel never took place. The firm of Morton, Bliss & Company in 1891 obtained a judgment in the courts in this city against Mr. Palmer for $68,833.96 for speculations carried on through the firm. Mr. Palmer, in a card printed in the HERALD in November, 1891, declared that his troubles with Morton, Bliss & Co. arose from befriending a friend, a member of the firm, by giving him the use of his name in London and who dying left him with the debt on his hands. The firm threatened supplementary proceedings, and it is believed the debt was privately adjusted.

"C. P. PALMER'S FUNERAL.
His Relatives Lie in Greenwood, but he Had Asked To Be Buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.
Funeral services over the late Charles P. Palmer will be held in the Church of the Incarnation this morning at half-past ten o'clock. The Rev. Dr. Arthur Brooks, the rector, was surprised when the request was made that he officiate. No member of the Palmer family within his recollection has ever attended the church.
The body, in a plain black casket, was taken to the church yesterday afternoon, and placed in a room near the vestry. The door was locked, and the key was given to a member of the family.
The body had been brought from Bellport by Mrs. A. P. Draper, widow of the late Professor Draper and sister of the deceased, who had gone to her brother's bedside when she heard of his illness. The fact that Mr. Palmer died in the cottage of Miss Helen Barry, the actress, is a source of great regret to his family.
