Wearer Loper, Frank T. Wall, and E. M. Fulton of the National Cordage Company do not appear to hare created Apprehension in the minds of the accused. On the contrary, they laugh at Balch and his proceedings.

From 9 :30 in the morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday Messrs. Water-bury, Wall, and Loper waited in the offices of the National Cordage Company at 133 Front Street for Detective Sharkey to appear with bis "summonses charging them with and perjury. They waited in Tain. i No attempt was made to effect service of the criminal processes upon them. They declared that the proceedings were a "bluff," and that, knowing what they did of Mr.

Batch, they never expected to be erred with the sammones. Time spent iq waiting was nof wasted, however, for the regular daily meeting of the receivers the company with the ex-Directors and other interested parties was held. Mr. Batch's proceedings were only casually mentioned and passed over as insignificant, and other business of pressing importance1 was disposed of. The ex-Direotors refused to see reporters or any other callers upon the subject of Balch'a criminal proceedings.

Appleton Sturgis, formerly head of the cordage department of the National Cordage Company, speaking for them, made the following statement to a reporter for The Nxw-Yobx Times I am authorized to say on behalf of Messrs. Waterbury and Wall that the criminal charges brought by Mr. Balch are simply ridiculous. Do you think that either of these two men would risk the penalties of the Penal Code for either misdemeanor or perjury, even if they were broken to their last dollar They are both sharp and clear-headed men of business, a thousands of people in New-York know, and they say, through that any charges which Mr. Balch or any other man may bring against them or the; other Directors of the National Cordage Company will be promptly met, explained, and refuted.

Up to date the directors hare permitted Mr. Balch to continue the suit he instituted in the New-Jersey Court against the National Cordage Company on his own lines. They hare simpiymet his allegations by denials under oath, and hare onght him in the right manner in the ciril courts, in which he chose to take his first steps. Now he has set the machinery of the criminal courts in motion. The works of this machinery are sometimes Very hard to stop when once started There hare been cases where the man who started the criminal machinery got entangled himself.

Weshall see wnat the result of Hi proceedings is. Mr. Balch's lawyer may hare obtained the issue of criminal process, but he has not yet dared to serve the men he accuses of misdemeanor and felony. We will be prepared to show that his affldarits and statements upon which his complaint is baaed are a tissue of lies." But if Mr. Balch prores tbat the Directors did pay diridends out of the capital or moneys borrowed, will not that be conclusire proof not only of misdemeanor, but of the falseness of the affidavits deposed to by Messrs.

Waterbury, Fulton. Loper. and Wall was asked. We say he oannot prove his assertions," was the answer. "He certainly-has sworn to them, aud we shall make him prore them up to the rery hilt.

If he can't, what's the matter with a charge of perjury against Mr. Balch "Mr. Balch saya he invested $25,000 cash in cordage stock and lost it, is this truet "No, Sir, it is not We- can bring scores of witnesses to prove it. lie had some con-traot with Ei IL Fulton, a sort of family arrangement, for Balch is a nephew of Mrs. Fulton.

I am told to say that all the accused men court the fullest investigation. They are now only too anxious to get Balch upon the stand after his criminal Allegations. My colleagues attribute his rash action to the bad advice of the enemies of the National Cordage Company Because he happened to be a kind of relation M. Fulton gare him a place with the National Cordage Company at a good saUry. Prior to thia he was only a tutor and had had absolutely no business experience.

"It is strange that he should now hare joined the John Good Cordage and Machine Company. This firm has always been the bitter enemy of National Cordage." Keceirer George Wearer Loper said: Balch's proceedings are laughable. His transactions hare all been with M. Fulton, and the National Cordage Company has no privity in any of his contracts. Mr.

Balch is anyhow one of the smallest stockholders. If anything were criminally wrong why should not some of the big firms who are said to hare been so severely bitten by the. slump in National Cordags stock, take steps! They would be only too glad to take advantage of any loophole. You can imagine that the gigantic operations of the; National Cordage Company inrolved the keeping of a most voluminous and extensive set of account books. These conld not be examined in an hour or two.

Yet time devoted by Balch to his examination of the company's books was only a few hours. It was simply impossible for him. to understand the accounts at all during the short time he had access to the books. Yet, he saya he has obtained sufficient information upon which to base criminal charges against the Directors. Why, in his own affidavit as published in-Tnt Niw-York Times, he declare he needs to make a further examination in order to verify his assertion A are all ant tons to meet bis charge, Let him proceed farther if he dare." 'I! Mr.

Balch said he was in earnest He referred all inquirers to his lawyer. Ambrose li. Purdy. When Mr. 1'urdy was aked why the anmmonses had not been aerrad.

he said: "Because the accused were not in town." i When he was assured that they were In the city and waiting to be serred he sent for Detective Sharkey. Mr. Sharkey said he bad plenty of time and woaldn't bo'ber to serve the snmmousea until today. "They needn't be anxious," said he, they'll get the papers in the morning."

The members of the Koman Catholic Parish of the Epiphany, who, since the re-moral of the Her. Dn Bnrtsell by Archbishop Corrigan, hare paid visits to him on the annirersiry of his ordination to the priesthood, wjlll not go to Bondout this year, because the doctor has asked them not to do so. They had arr nged for the trip as usual, and were to sti rt early Sunday morning. Yesterday Satnu el J. Goodwin, one of the most ardent i.droirers of Dr.

Burtsell among his old parishioners at the Epiphany, receiyet a letter from the doctor, and when ii rti read at a meeting last evening at the 1 onie of Bernard Berry, 453 Second Arenue the proposed riait was abandoned. The letter wai as follows: Dxak Me. GcJodwix: As Mgr.

Yesterday iw is the thirty-first annirer-sary of Dr. Bur tsell's ordination. A little more than thre years ago he was removed by Archbishop Corrigan from the pastorate of the Ch irch of the Epiphany, the generally acce reason being his position in regard to Dr. McGlynn, whose adviser he was. Dr.

Burtsell'i removal was not at all pleasing to his parishioners at the Epiphany and sinoe 1 he arrival in this country of Mgr. Satolli they have been continually striving for hii i restoration. They sent a large delegation to intercede with Mgr. Satolli on May 28. and after a conference they became certain that they had secured the aid of the Papal Ablegate and that all in good time tl ey would have their pastor back again.

The letter it: Dr. Burtsell gires them new confidence They consider that, while it ssye not hi ig- directly, there are in it sereral sentem es so pointed that the only conclusion to be reached after reading them is that the doctor knows that he is certain to be stored. He openly declares, they say, that Mgr. Satolli is working with that object in view, and that for them is sufficient They regret rery much that their annual excursion to I ondout must be given up, but they are cl leered bythe hope that the founder of their church, and their pastor for so may soon be with them again.

Barrett of Spar-tansbnrg. 8.. who is beliered to be the head conspirator, has been arrested on what is thougl to be positire proof of his guilt The stc ry, as told by the Post Office Department officials, is substantially as follows Early in the last Administration Barrett succeeded in stting himself and a friend appointed as ost Office referees in the Spartansburg lutrict The officials of the district were expected to refer to them all applications ft appointment of Postmasters in that sec ion, together with all questions as to the istablishment of Post Offices. Barrett, it is said, at once began operations, and dur ng his term succeeded in getting from twei ity-fire to fifty new offices established in rk. Greenville, Pickens, and other counties in his section of the State.

It has since: bejeu discovered that in many cases the Postmaster was the only patron his office, ad. by false returns as to cancellation of sjtamps, a rery good income was obtained! in some cases the bonds furnished are haid to hare been bogus. Barrett also had himself appointed a special mail carrier to these offices, which was another sourci of revenue. It is also said that some ol the Postmasters procured printed letter (heads, and by taking advantage of their position as Postmasters and by giving as references Barrett and a number of other Hostmasters in the deal, succeeded in getting credit for pianos, sewing machines. from city dealers.

Aug. 10. It is now definitely known to the Federal authorities here that score and probably sereral hundreds of Chinamen hare entered the United State from Mexico at different points along the Bio Grande during the last ten days. j) Many of the Celestials crossed the border in the unfreg.uented Motion above Dal Bio. Those who were provided with money made their way to the Southern Pacific Railroad, only a few miles distant, and took passage on trains for the interior.

Others tramped into this city, straggling squads of them being seen daily west of here, headed in this direction. ft as they arrive the violators of Are arrested by the Federal offlcere. It is expected that fifty or mor them will be lodged in jail here within the next few days. Twelre are already in custody, and, although they speak Spanish fluently, all of them claim that they bare nerer been in Mexioo. None of the has a certificate of registration.

lh eight Chinamen arrested yesterday carried large bundles, in which were opium, razors, clothing, and sereral docen hoped toads, the last being their principal article of food during their trarels.

THE BIG GAMBLDTCr BOOM CLOSED. She ban Police of Buffalo Yield to Pop alar Indignation. BcTfaxo, Aug. 10.

Popular indignation became too pronounced for eren the Shee-han police officials yesterday, and they determined to close the big gambling room that had been running for nearly two weeks. They waited until this morning, when the room was not open, and then notified the proprietors that it must be closed. Had the place not been managed and backed by Sheehan Democrats it would hare been raided with a posse of police and those in charge and the customers would hare been arrested. As it was, the Poliee Department deliberately shut its eyes to what was going on. and.

in spite of complaints and formal charges repeated for ten days in erery paper in Buffalo and backed up by affldarits, turned away from ashington Street and gare it wide berth officially, i It is doubtful if the room could have been kept open twenty minutes if Capt Lynch had been permitted to control his own precinct But he was under orders and had nothing to do but obey. i It is learned on good authority 'that charges will be preferred against Superintendent Chambers tor neglect of duty. It is also said that charges are to be preferred against Police Commissioners By an. Schen, and lllig for malfeasance in and that the matter will bo taken before the General Term, and that their removal from office will be asked for. The main point of the charge, it is said, is that they refused to take cognisance of the Washington Street plaoe after their attention had been repeatedly called to it Commissioner Schen said this evening that the board had not yet received charges against Superintendent Chambers.

The reports were both incorrect The President is not as well as he would like to be.

having fallen back into something like the condition of ill health he was in when he left this city immediately after he had called the extra session of Congress. When he returned from Buzzard's Bay he considered himself pretty thoroughly restored, but the hot weather and the anxiety that he had felt About the situation in the together with the change of climate from the bracing air of the Massachusetts shore to the enervating heat of the capital, have thrown him back. As he feels that he will not be able to stand up in the hot season under the onset of Congressional visitors, and as there seems to be no reason te suppose that other duty than the making of appointments would demand his immediate attention, he has concluded that he will go to his home in Massachusetts, where he will be able to rest and regain the Joss of tone which he has suffered since he came back to the capital and yet not be too far away to be able to attend to necessary business. It is understood that, if he can finish np the business in hand to-morrow, he will go to Gray Gables to remain a time to secure the further rest that he needs. He may remain until Sept 1.

WBitb Puuxa. N.

Aug. la-Is Gen. Alexander Hamilton insane I That is the question which Elihn B. Frost as Commissioner, has been appointed by Justice J. 0.

Dykman of the Supreme Court to ascertain. Gen. Hamilton is a grandson of the famous Alexander Hamilton! and son of ohn Hamilton. He lives at Tarry town, Westchester County, and formerly had the reputation of being a highly-cultireted and accomplished litterateur, baring written tragedies, poems, prose, It was his grandfather, Alexander Hamilton, who at Weehawkea lost his life in the dnel with Aaron Burr July 12, 1804. Gen.

Hamilton, who is one of eleven children, is an uncle of Bobert Bay Hamilton, who, after the scandal in which he and Era Mann figured, was reported to hare met a tragio death on the Western plains, baring been drowned while! ont hunting alone. The present whereabouts of Gen. Hamilton are not known positively here or in Tarrytown. One report is that he is residing with his son. the Ber.

Alexander Hamilton of Lyons Plains. Conn. Another Is that he is harbored, if sot actually held under duress, by a Mrs. Freeman at 134 West One Hundred and Twenty-eeremth Street, New-York City. Thia is the allegation of Mrs.

Sarah Elizabeth, Hamilton's second wife, in an affi-darit to the court Gen. Hamilton, who is in his seventy-eighth year, is said to have become infatuated with Mrs. Freeman about two years ago, since which time, his wife saya, he has neglected her, absented himself from home, threatened to take her life and otherwise abused her. The General has long been considered eccentric by his neighbors in Tarrytown and by persons throughout Westchester County to whom he is well known.

LYECKED BY MHITIAMEir. anw mmmwmeaa Uniformed Guard Haas- Miner KxdxnLLX, Ang. lO Startling has been the sequel to the murder of Private William Laugherty of Fort Anderson at Bricerille last Monday night Soldiers sent by the State to Coal Creek to uphold the law hare committed a most glaring breach of it by lynching Richard Dr'um-mond early this morning. Drummond boarded at the house 6f W.

B. Landrum, an ex-Justice of the Peace and one of the respected citizens of the place. Landrum's story, as told to the jury of inquest, is as follows: "Drummond had been working in the Shamrock Mines. He was twenty-fire Jears of age. This morning at 1 o'clock I card the militia come to my house and heard the command giren to surround it All was quiet for a short time and then followed sereral loud rape on the door, it finally being split in two places.

it" I was cajled to by the crowd, and when 1 replied they told me they had com lor Drummond and would hare him or burst the door. I opened the door and a dosen soldiers came in. They were dressed in uniforms and carried guns with fixed bayonets. "Drummond, who had taken refuge in the kitchen, said that he would surrender to the Sheriff, but finally concluded to give himself up after being promised that he would be taken to Fort Anderson. As they left with him I noticed Berry Dunning with a rope over his shoulder, and I knew then that it was all day with Drummond.

I went back to bed, but conld not sleep, and so arose early and, waking np sereral parties, started to see what they had done with Drummond. My little boy soon met me and told me that Drummond had been found hanging to a trestle 300 yards from Bricerille. He had evidently been thrown off the trestle, for his neck was broken and badly cut by the rope. The cause of the lynching is that Drummond assisted a Deputy Sheriff in running out soldiers from a disreputable house some time ago. If I could see ail the soldiers at Fort Anderson.

I could piok out the men who were at my house." Excitement has increased hourly, and several good citizens of Brieerillo hare left fearing trouble to-night as the soldiers have" threatened another lynching. Three hundred miners went on a strike to-day. which adds to the seriousness of the situation. E0U5D DEAD IN THE BOAD. Blohard Hour, a Kow-Torh Merchant Supposed to Hare Boon ordered.

After a general discussion of the situation in the House, it was decided that it would be impossible for the friends of the repeal of the SilTer-Putchase act to go into the House upon a bill proposing to allow tree coinage, but that tt would bo their do-termination to proceed at onoe, and. if possible, upon an agreement with the friends of free; silrer. that tha discussion in the House should open upon a bill for the repeal of the silrer-purchasing clause of the Sherman act that being the purpose for which the President had called the Congress together.

There was only one opinion an this subject Th Administration must have the initiative. To give the silver men assurance that they were aot to be deprived of the oppor tunity to express their opinions or conrio- tions. it was decided that if they would not dispute the initiative with the Admin- iatratioo, it would bo agreed in return that there.should be reasonable time eay, ton days for debate, and that then there should be votes taken upon amendments for free coinage straight" and at varying ratios, from 16 to 20. and that then there should be a vote on returning to the old -Bland-Allison act Having formulated this programme, it war further agreed, upon the motion of Mr. Patterson, that ia rule should be -adopted by the House to carry out tha -proposition, and tbat the silrer men bo notified that the arrangement would bo carried out if agreed to, to-morrow, and if it was refused, or any disposition was manifested to delay, that all negotiations would be declared off.

i There was some discussion as to the name that should be giren to the bilL It was decided that the bill should be intra- -dnced by Mr. Wilson Of West Virginia, although he did not quite answer to the description of the agriculturist sought for as the author. Mr. Fitch was sure that the name of Mr. Wilson would make the bill acceptable to the House.

The old committee of members, with Mr. Bayner as Chairman, was continued as a committee of arrangements, to be kept together in case of a refusal by the silver men consent to the programme. The silrer men learned to-day that they had mistaken th purpose Xor whieh thia Congress waa called together by the President In their conference yesterday they discussed and approred their proposition to bring in a free-coinaoe bill a if that waa the measure which the President hoped to see Congress pass. Early this morning, very soon after the committee of which Me. Bland is Chairman had met the committee of the opponents of free coinage, which the silver men call the "gold" committee, that free-coinage group was informed that it would be impossible for the supporters of the Administration to treat with them at all upon the assumption that the free-coinage bill was to be regarded asan affirmative proposition.

That was a check ta Mr. Biand and his associates for which thsy ought to hare been prepared, if they were not i When the Joint conference assembled there was speechmaking by several of the' members of the House from eMhside.Measr8. 1 Bayner. Fitch, Tracey and Cockran were: the spokesmen en the side of the friends of unconditional repeal. On the other aide the speakers were Mr.

Bland, Mr. Bank- head, Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Boatner. Mr.

Bayner and his friends told Mr. Bland that they had heard the proposition of the conference of yesterday with astonishment The President had called Congress together to repeal a law which was admitted by all Democrats to be objectionable. Aa supporters of the President all Democrats ought to be willing to repeal the Sherman Silver Purchase act as a beginning. After that other legislAtion miff ht be but that obstacle should be removed first. Mr.

Fitch insisted that it would be die-' respectful to the President and a wise In! the party to take up as an affirmative proposition a bill to authorize the free coinage of silver and ask the supporters of -the President's proposition to put them-' selves in the attitude ef opposing the affirmative proposition and inrerting it Messrs, Cockran and Tracey also spoke. Mr. Tracey insisted i that the vropositioa as made in the conference could never be' considered a aeeep table. Mr. Cockran did not expect to be asked to support a motion that would compel the fpndt ot -the Administration to attack a measure -for another purpose than thai asked by th Presidsnt and convert it by amendment' late a simple repeal bill.

Mr. Bland and his friends insisted that the proposition they had made had been ia- -Tited by the suggestions made by Mr. -Cockran, which they supposed had been -made by authority, Then the silrer observing that their' opponents would neb negotiate upon, the proposition they had- -made, asked some questions as to whether assurance would be given that if the repeal bill were to be taksa in th House, instead of the silver bill, th opponents ot free i coinage would permit votes to be taken oa the que-, tion of free and that falling. -on motions to make the ratio of silver to cold 16. 17.

20, or 24. Mr. Raynar's eom mi Hoe was net prepared to giro aa answer to tbat propoeitioai The Inclination waa to refuse bluntly, lifter an adjournment had been taken it was considered wiser that the question had bsea reeerred for another opportunity, to answer. Many of the friends of repeal are ef tb opinion to-night that a mistake waa mad in beginning by. proposing to giro the' chance to roth on all the propoaitioDs eaa mora ted in the order ef Mr.

Cockraa, While the object of th omt-and-out sop-porters of the Administration is to eecar an uaeonditional repeal, the ail rer people, hare sereral alternative propositions upon -whleh they will retreat when free coinage had been beaten, aa it aadeabtedty will be -ia the House. They may be far short ef a mjority for free coinage at the present ratio. They may hope for Eeaer strength at 17. At 1 they may, haw Increased their vote eenaideratdy. and that are undoubtedly maay mean, bore who are opposed to free eolnAgeet -the present ratio whe believe the sola- tion ef the silver question weald be reached' if it waa proposed to adept free eoinax with silver at a ratio of 20 ox 23.

There waa no disposition te eat th silrer men off wttheat opportunity te rote for amendments, but it was considered gener -ous enough to limit them two amend er poasibly to insist thai the i.
