ELASTIC TttCSSEt. YACHT CRUISE. 4 O'CLOCK EDIlffl I an not part of that none tn the bands? Deputy Gardiner Part of itis. The County Treasurer is ah officer of the oourt to relation to holding moneys, and under the direction of the courts certain Bmounta whioh have teen the subject of litigation hare been paid into the Brooklyn Trust Company The reporter obtained frOm the County Clerk a complete list of the sums thus paid to the Trust Company, which Is here appended. publicity of the matter being given.

He held, also, that the Directors and Trustees of the Trust Company, rather than have tho defalcation become known to the publio would, for their own sakes, have settled the matter, and not have allowed the bank to go into the hands of' a receiver; und Mr. Mills, himself, being a high toned geBtlomoii, and a man who was devoted to his family, would not have brought reproach on himself and his friends, by an aot whioh would lead to an exposure of bis financial condition. In view of these foots, he does not believe that Mr. Mills committed suicide. cey, President of the Mechanic Bank and President fro tern of the Brooklyn Trust Company.

Mr. Ohauncoy feaa JLOfti'lMitt to the proper performance of his duties, Messrs. Alex. MoOue and' J. 0.

Rockwell being Ids sureties in the same. WHAT JUDOE MO CUE SAYS. Tho Eaolb jepOiter had snort uonvereation with Hon. Alex. McCue: on the subject of the affairs of the Bank, whioh Is here reproduced for the benefit ot tne UUl0( n4 ipeolt'iittKmer ttem a xe depositors of the "Tust "Company: Eeporter Mr.

McCue, it la due to the depositors Ihislneatulionthatthoy should know all that it is possible to know about its affaire. Save you, personally, no further statement to make other than the one 1 teady handed toe for' publication, and Wguedhy yourself end others I Mr. MeOue The defalcation, or overdraw, on tljo part of Mr. MiUsi so iar as ascertained, is abort $116,000. I do not consider that Mr.

Mills has beSn dishonest in the business, but he has committed the tqo prevalent error of using other funds than his own, tn the hope and with the intention of making all right. Eeporter This overdraw oh Mr. Mills's part could not have, of itself, seriously emberraased. this company, could it, sir? Mr. McCue No, sir, not at all.

The immediate cause of our embarrassment was the refusal, yesterday afternoon, of the Nassau Bank to further "clear" for ub. That waB unforseen and unexpected. We then had one of two things to do to stands "run" on the part of tho depositors to doy and for days to come, or to suspend until we could recover ourselves. Reporter And yon chose the latter course. Mr.

McCue Yes, sir; as altogether the wisest aud best way of the two. Eeporter What is THE AMOUNT OF DEPOSITS in the Company at present Mr. McCue About two millions of dollars. Eepoiter The city iB a lorge depositor here Is it not? Mr. McCue To the amount of $450,000, 1 believe.

Reporter The rest of the $2,000,000, then, is the property of private depositors 1 Mr. McCue Yes, sir and to show you how those who are interested most largely look upon the matter allow me to Bay that a gentleman who haa $100,000 in here, on deposit, drove up here yesterday afternoon, and with a full knowledge of the condition of our affairs drove away satisfied. Eeporter Who is this gentleman 1 Mir. McCue I don't feel at liberty to mention his name now, but the statement is a fact. Reporter Now, Judge, what, in your candid opinion, is the prospect for the depositors of this Company? Mr.

McCue The stockholders are all reliable, solid, moneyed men, and all are personally responsible. We have nearly $700,000 out on loans, which we are preparing to call in at once, and that, with what we had on hand in csBh Borne $300,000 would, undoubtedly, have enabled us to stand any possible run that would have been made upon us, until wo could have realized from our securities. But the Nassau Bank all at once refused to "clear" for us, and we, in the interests of the depositors as well as of ourselves (the Btookholders), concluded to suspend temporarily. I have no sort of doubt whatever, sir, that juBt so soon as we can get matters on a straight basis, so that we know just how they are and where we FROM ABROAD. London, July 19.

A TRIBUNE CANARD. The Alleged Bobbery of the Tax Office Records. The following appeared with a sensational head In tho Tribune this morning THEFT OF BBOOKLYN TAX BECOBD8. Considerable exoitement exists among the offioials in Brooklyn inconsequence of the discovery that quits a number of valuable tax records have been stolen or abstracted from the Collector's office in tho City Hall, all efforts for the discovery of which have so far proved futile. It was only during tho pressnt week that tho Icbs of these records was known, B3 one of tho Tax Collector's deputies had occasion to use them.

Every book shelf and compartment in tho office has been diligently searched, but there are no traces of the missing documents. Their loss has led to considerable inconvenience already, and may result in great financial embarrassments. The records wera those of the sales for unpaid assessments during several years back, The belief is that the books were removed by some interested persons, and it may be to cover np some fraud. Owing to the absence of Collector Bnmws tho exact extent of the losses cannot be stated at present. City Hall Keeper Tormey and others are nlaklng every endeavor to discover the mlcslng volumes.

A reporter of tho Eagle this morning, visited tho Tax office to make inquiries about the affair. The Tax Collector is out of town, but Cashier Gill was on hand, and answered the reporter's questions about the robbery as follows Eeporter Captain Gill, I have come to make some inquiries of you in regard to the alleged abstraction of valuable city records from your office. Do you know anything about it 7 Captain Gill (smiling) Tea. I was amused reading it in a Now York paper, and thought the reporters must have been hard up for a sensation when they invented that. Reporter Well, la there anything at all in it? Captain Gill A ll that there is in it is that a few mornings since, while the women were cleaning out tho offices a number of old indexes of tax Usta of years ago were put near the door to be removed for wasto paper, they being of no further use.

When the women got through their work they found these had been carried off by somebody. There was about eight pounds of paper in them, worth about fifty cents, and that is tho entire extent of the robbory. Reporter Then the statements about the financial embarrassments, have no foundation in fact. Captain Gill Not the slightest. It was all concocted in the lively brain of tho reporter.

True, the scene presented many points for study, but none that could do much toward gratifying mero morbid curiosity. This does not mean that the suspension of business by tho Trust Company did not causa intense feeling, but it was so practical in his shape and kind that demonstration of a noisy charaotor would hive helped needy depositors but little. Men did not go into the Bank on a rush; they merely dropped in in their usual business habit, only Saturday being a day on which a great deal of monoy is needed to pay wages with, there was a greater number of checkboldera hi attendance. The disappointmeut evinced in the countenances of gentlemen as they stepped np to the teller's desk, and received information of the state of affairs, was measured by the oircumstances that were behind to control their feelings. CAUOHT SHOET.

One man who has $9,000 on deposit with the Company having made a purchase of property to the amount of $6,000 passed his check in payment for tho same. It waB handed, back to him as worthless, the reason given being that the Tiust Company had suspended payment He then volunteered to go to the company's bank ard have the cheok certified. All right, Bold the gentleman, who was ready to pass over the deed of the property. Both went to the Bank. When that oheak was presented the face behind it underwent a change, whioh told the story of the man's great disappointment.

He returned to hiB friend, and the arrangement for the tranBf tr of the property was fixed for another time. Now and again a depositor would arrive, fill out a check at the desk outside the counter, and present it, merely for the purpose of elicit jig some response from the Several groups of gentlemen werj gathered the sidewalk in Court street, in front of the institution, dis cuBSing the probabilities of early resumption of business, in a quiet way, but the most perfect confidence waB expressed in tho ability of the stockholders to carry the company through its crisis. Mr. T. Rodman.

Secretary, stated to several depositors who called shortly after twelve o'clock, that the NaBSau Bank had taken the responsibility of bringing about the difficulty, one which could easily be brought about to abr.03t any other bank at oertain times, but The Trust Company, ho said, wore abundantly able to pay a hundred cents on the dollar, and more, too. I was necessary, however, to havo a few days for the thorough examination of tho acooontj, after which business would go on as usual, and all obligations be promptly met, A TIMELY APPLICATION. A case of keen foresight was that of Mort. Tunlson, of the Coney Ieland Road. A gentleman, meeting him the day following the death of Mr.

Mills, ascertained that he (Mr. Tunlson) had 112,000 on deposit with the Brooklyn Trust Company, Informed him of Mr. Mills's death, oj which he had read. Mr. Tunison next day went to the Company and drew $10,000, and on the following day, Friday, drew cheeks for all but a small balance of the remaining $2,000.

Among tho depositors are many of the publio offioials in this city and county, inolnding Hugh McLaughlin, Maurice Fitzgerald, George G. Herman, County Treasurer Gardiner, Frank Swift and others. A CONTBAOTOB'S OPINION. Frank Swift, on being interrogated as to the condition of the Company's affaire, expressed his opinion in tho laconic phrase, they look dusty." On Remeen street, Montague street and about the City Hall groups of public officials and of prominent citizens were engaged in conversation upon the topio which was uppermost in the minds of most people in that region.

It is claimed that there have been plunder and corruption to the extent of over two hundred millions of dollars. Quesada. General Manuel de Quesada Loinez, the distinguished Cuban patriot and a brother in law to Cespcdes, arrived in New York yesterday from Aspinwall. He claims to be the bearer of dispatches to the Colombian minister at Washington which bear upon a proposed conference, to be held at Washington, of representatives of the various South Amerloan Republics, looking to Cuban Independence.

General Quesada reported as Baying that he had almost certain hopes that Cuba would be free within six months." Ohas. Demassallier was a city policeman in New Orleans. Auguste McGartey, a fellow' quadroon, challenged him for an alleged insult at a ball where they had met. He Bent the cartel by Nclcon Severin, another quadroon, to a curiouscus tom in New Orleans, entered through a window, wakened him from sleep and delivered message. Demassallier immediately gave Severin a frightful beating and pushed him out of doors.

Severin, not satisfied, hung around in the street and Dcmaasalicr shot at him. ThB bullet did not hit Severin, and so Demassallier came out and began to pound Severin with the butt of a piB tol. It seems that by this time Severin began to think Demassallier meant business for ho immediatsly drew an immense bowie khife and stabbed Demassallier seventeen timeB with It. Ho then walked away with his dripping weapon. Demassallier is dead.

McCarty and Severin are both "satisfied." MATRIMONY BY ADYERTISEMENT. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle We are just passing through the recital, by the entire of the daily and weekly press, of a moat dreadful murder, brought about Eolely through the influence of newspaper matrimonial advertisements. The principal actor in the drama has gone to hia long Bleep, while the sayings and acts of his destroyer are doily chronicled, and read with avidity by wondering thousands throughout the country. Yet there are those among us so low in the scale of human nature, and so devoid of principle, as to be ready to make money out of the saddeat and most degrading evils. As an evidence of this fact, I herewith inclose you a small handbill or circular, which, for some days post, has been thruat into the hands of every person, by boys and men, standing ou the corners, ond in eveiy much frequented thotouh fare in the busiest tons of Now Yovk, 0011103 upon them to buy The Mclrinwiiial thus whetting up the appetites and mo sensiJilit.es of the depraved, of what had never yet been seen, though the circular announces it aa having been three yeara estaoliahed and bating a tirculatlon of 16,000 and containing 000 niatrirootal advebsements." On Wednesday this infamous sheet appeared (of which I send you a copy), entitled The SfjtrimonlU G'rzcvte nd Special Adserlicer, a weekly jou.nal de voied to the romotioi of marriage and conjugal fc lioity.

Vol. 0, No. 1," setting forth in an editorial on tho first page, the advantages of the sheet, fully assured that it would meet with as generous support as it has enjoyed for the paBt three years," and commencing the advertisements by num'jering thB first one 9,008. No per30n of any common sense will give the thing a moment's consideration, because tho fraud sticks out on every page, as every advertisement (aud thero are seven pages of them) is to be answered by directing to the care of tho editor, who haa the addreaB of the advertiser and has the facilities of bringing the parties together. Even United States officers in Oregon, young clergymen and every conceivablo class of mechanios, farmer3, mei' aits and young ladies, rich themselves or rich in expectancy, or possessing competent incomes, daughters of clergymen, physicians, farmers, ond with parento, aged 80 and upward, ore all to trust their secrets and matrimonial arrangements with this editor.

These advertisements havo evidently cost a reai deal of labor and inventive genius to write them out, but are clearly the work of one man or set of men, with the expectation of making money out of the paper, or for the purposo of drawing out answers from weak minded and Lilly girls end women, as also men, and thus obtaining their Becrete. Not a name appears on the issue to fathom its responsibility, and the only addrees is M. Editor, BUch a street and number. Now. let the silly be warned against this trap, set purposely for thorn, and which, if resorted to, may only terminate In another Goodrich and Stoddard affair.

It is Just to Btate that the public Beem to give it little or no notice, as on tho first day of its issue tho boys and men were bellowing it out at two cents per copy, though its imprint bears the price of five cents.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 19. PROBABLY ft MURDER. The Death, of Thomas IT.

Riley. 1 A German Arrested on Suspicion The Besult of Fighting and Drinking. This morning a notice was left in the Coro sera office stating that a laboring men named Thomas IS. bad tea lovmd ttead to liia bed at Ho. SOB Water street, at seven o'clock A.

M. An Eaolb reporter hastened to be present when a messenger entered the office, from Riley's house to know when the Inquest would be held What did Riley die of 1 asked the scribe. I dunno, I guess its heart disease his brother says so any way. The reporter remembered, however, that a man named Thomas H. Riley, had been arrested on Thursday after noon last, and brought before Justice Walsh on a charge of assault and battery, preferred by a German named Herman Tonjes, with whom ho had been fighting.

A little Investigation, proved that Biloy, deceased, and Riley, who was arrested, are one and the same, and the reporter also learned, that Herman Toajee, nbo preferred Uie eiiMge Riley, was arrested this inciting by officer Bedel), on suspicions of having caused Riley's death. THE FACTS OP THE FIGHT between Toujes and Biley, ore as follows: On Thursday, about a quarter to one, P. Riley went into the liquor store of John Helmko, in Hudson aveuuo near the Navy Yard, and hod Borne drinks there which he refused to pay for. He and the barkeeper, Tonjes, had a row and Tonjes attempted to put him out. A fight was the result.

Officer Graham was passing the store, and went Id. He found both combatants down on the floor, struggling, and Tonjes on the top. Ho arrentsd both for disorderly conduct, and took them before Justice Walsh, where Tonjes preferred a charge of assault and battery ajainst Biley. The Justice held both to bail to appear for trial on Monday morning next. It was noticed at the time of Riley'a arrest that he had a severe out on the forehead, and it is now supposed that he has re ceived A TBAOTUBE OF THE SKULL, whioh has caused his death.

On Inquiry at tho Coroner's office it appeared that Corqncr Whitehill, who intends to hold the inqueBt, was notoonvecsont with the entire facts of the case, but will bo soon, and if he deems it necessary will order an autopsy to bo made by Dr. Shepard. reporter next went down to the Second Precinct and there saw the sergeant on duty. The following conversation, ensued Reporter Scrgeaat, have you a prisoner here, named Ponies On what charge is he trreBted 1" "Well, a man named Thomas Biley, di2d suddenly this morning, and bb he had a pretty serious fight with Foujes on Thursday last, I sent Officer Bedel! to arrest Foujee this morning, as I understand that Riley, while engaged in the fight, was struck on the head with a dub and with a chair. Foujes is locked up here to await the action of tho Coroner." The reporter desired an interview with tho latter, which the 8argeant courteously granted.

WHAT THE PKISONER SAID. Herman said that on Thursday, at the time stated, Riley came In and had a couple of glasses of beer. Just after he had drank them, a customer came in and asked for a beer; I turned round to draw it for him, andR'ley called for another glass. I gave the customer his glass first, and r.iley came np to the counter and caught hold of me by the hair of the head and said, "You why didn't you serve ma first; I've got good mind to lay you out." I told him that the customer had ordered first, and then gave him his beer. He drank it and said he wouldn't pay me a cent, but that he would lick me.

I took all the classes and the match box off the counter for fear he might throw something at mo. Ho then struck me in the face, and I hit him. Ho was coming behind the bar to strike me again, and I went out and grappled with hi and we both fell down. This was the time when the officer came in and ar arrested us. Riloy had been in tho Btore about a month ago, and got forty cents worth of drinks for which he refused to pay.

Reporter Ton.ies, did you strike Biley with any thing Answer No, I did not; he Is a bigger man than me, I couldn't fight him. Reporter Do you know how he cama to have a cut ou the forehead Answer No. HOW THE BODY WA8 FOUND. About the supposed murdered man itis stated that he was employed by the Board of City Works. On Thursday he had this fight in Hclunke's saloon, on Friday he was at home ail and said he wasn't well.

HtB mother asked him to cut Borne wood, but he refused. He eat nothing that day, and went to bed very early. ThiB morning, not being down at the usual t'me, Bhc asked Riley's brother where ho was? latter replied, I gueBs he's taking a good sleep he's got the bed to himself, any how." Toward seven o'clock, as he put in no appearance, tho brother went up to his room and shook him to awaken him. Upon looking closely at him he discovered he was dead. Tonjes is locked up in the Sacond Precinct Station house, awaiting the result of the Coroner's inqueBt.

Ho has engaged as his counsel Mr. F. R. Hartmann, who also appeared for hi on Thursday, before Justice Walsh. Biley, the deceased, wbb about thirly two years of age, and the police say that he was much addicted to drink, and at such timeB was a very disorderly character.

After he came out of tho court room on Thursday it is stated that he had another row with some unknown man, and was seen fighting near the stoneyard at the comer of Water street and Hudson avenue. The police have as yet been unable to find out whom ho was fighting with. It is possible he might have received injuries there which were conducive to his decease, but THE WOUND ON HIS FOEEHEAD was observed when he was taken out of Helmke's store, in Hudson avenue, where it is Slid ho was Btruck on the head with a or a club two or three times, and there la little doubt but that ho did receive his injuries in this place. Dr. Shepherd will make a poet mortem examination on the body this aftcnoon, when tho cause of death will be definitely settled, and after which the inquest will be held.

Defalcation of its Late President, EtMbertS. Mills. The Lxstitntion Closed and a Receiver Appointed Statement in Part of Its Liabilities City Moneys on Deposit Special Trust Funds Facts Per sonal to Mr. Mills Condition of i his Property List of Mort i gages Thereon A Series of Interviews The Depositors Safe The Stockholders Prepared to Make the Loss Good Secretary Hodman's Defalcation Rumored, Mr. Ethelbert S.

Mill was drowned on Tuesday morning at Coney Island, as the readers of the Eaolb have been informed, and this morning the Brooklyn Trust Company, of whioh Mr. Mills waB President, suspended payment. The public, therefore, to day learn what the Eagle has known since Tuesday, (but felt constrained not to in the hope that it might prove worsa in the report than in tho reality), that the financial affairs of tho late Ethelbert 8. Mills were in a Badly involved condition at the time of hiB death, and that A DEFALCATION OP ABOUT $150,000 baa been discovered in the Brooklyn Trust Company. On Wednesday the following paragraph appeared in the Eagle "As might not unnaturally happen, in view of the sudden death of its President, a rumor got abroad yesterday, that owing to Mr.

Mills' decease the Trust Company would be embarrassed in some way. The report can be traeed to no anthentio source, and is.bul a report, as Mr. Chauncey this morning assured an Eagle reporter that ho would stake his reputation upon the statement that the TruBt Company was in no particular, in tho slightest way embarrassed, nor would it be. Everything, said Mr, Chauncey, is in the most perfect order, and not shadow of ground exists for any such rumor. The Company, as is well known, is managed by some of Brooklyn's most solid and best known citizens." The desire of tho Eagle to proteot from assault and embarrassment, until good cause was assured for the same, one of its leading institutions, one managed by some of its moBt prominent oitizens, and the ono in which the City of Brooklyn had large deposits, impelled it to give to Mr.

Chaunoey's statemont its broadest meaning. It had, point of fact, more emphatically to do with the interests of depositors than with the general conditino of the bank. This defalcation was not definitely ascertained until yesterday, whenit wbb brought tclight by an investigation instituted by the Directors, whose duty it became, on the death of the President, to get at the exact condition of the institution's finances. Not only however, did they find that Mr. Mills had overdrawn his porsonal account, but they also discovered to their astonishment that hb had taken worthless securities for the sum of $300,000, so that altogether there was an inroad of $450,000 made upon the capital stock of tho Company.

Tho securities in question are from the State of Georgia and the New Haven, Middletown and Willimantio Bailroad Company. On the former Mr. Mills had loaned $150,000 upon $200,000 of bonds which it is claimed were illegally iBBued and the interest on which the present authorities decline to pay. Whether tho railroad bouda will ever become worth much is question they moy, and if they do tho Company will bo better off than it looks today. In tho mean time tho simple facts are, while tho capital stock is $600,000 thoro are over $300, 000 in unavailable bonds.

But while this affects the stockholders it can hardly bo considered as affecting the depositors, for by law the stockholders are held repon Bible for $500,000 over and above the stock paid In. That the stockholders are good for ten times this amount is every whero recognized. Their names constitute a sufficient guarantee. The company was organized more than six yeaiB ago, and since that time its business has gone on steadily increasing. Tho deposits on hand this morning, as nearly as could be estimated, amounting to $2,300,000, all of which, cave r.owe little held in immediate reserve is invested.

The principles upon whioh the company did business precluded them from keeping any very largo amount in hand. The directors say that by Tut Bday they will resume payment. The Btoppago 1b made a necessity in order to have the books thoroughly examined. So far bb Mr. Mills iB concerned in this matter tho general opinion appears to be that he lost considerable in real estate, and that when he overdrew his account, he overdrew with the intention of paying back.

At all events, it iB believed that his estate is good for considerable of the deficiency that is, for considerable of the $150,000 taken on his account. That he was seriously embarrassed within the past six months has been no Bccret among builders and speculators. One of the oity banks dishonored one of his notes, and it is known that within tho last three months ho was compelled on moro than ono obcasion to borrow money at five par cent, a month. Among tho moBt noticeable of HIS HEAL ESTATE ADVENTURES were tho following Two years ago he built seven handsome houses on the main avenue leadiug to Prospect Park, and but a BUort from the main entrance. They aro double houses, with handsome fronts, are built In Gothic stylo, finished in an exccllont manner, and, with the ground, must novo cost from $15,000 to $20,000.

Not one of theso have been rented, and they wero lately sold much below their cost. He also built a row of five brown atone front houses in Clinton Btreet, between Sackctt and Degraw streets. These are large, elegant houses, costing probably not leBS than $20,000 each. None of these were rented or sold. In eooh caie tho houses were unsuited to tho neighborhood tn which they were built, and could neither be sold to advantage or rented for a sum sufficient to pay the interest on the investment.

That theSo houses were all heavily mortgaged will hereafter bo shown. In addition to the mortgages already on them be tried to secure others but failed. As an instance of bis embarrassment it may be stated that two months ago he tried to borrow money from the County authorities on buildings not then oompleted. These things are of interest only in so far as they go to characterize the management of the Trust Company. Tho Board of Directors appear to have placed the most implicit trust in Mr.

Mills while it was common knowledge throughout tho city that he was daily borrwlng money at a usurers rate of interest. In connection with that state of things the following INTEBVIEW WITH MB. HODMAN. Mr. Hodman Is the Secretary of the Company, aud without his signature Mr.

Mills could not have drawn a dollar from the till. Reporter Mr. Rodman, were you not aware that Mr. Mills had overdrawn his account 7 Rodman I was. Itcporter That he had overdrawn it $150,000 Rodman Somewhere about that amount.

Reporter He could not obtain any money without your consent? Rodman No. Reporter Yet, although you knew his account was so overdrawn, you paid his checks Rodman Yes, he was President and I was Bimply Secretary. What could I do Reporter Was there nothing you could do 1 Rodman No, my duty was simply clerical in tho premises. Bepoi ter You did not feel it your duty to report Mr. Mills' courso to any of tho directors 1 Rodman I did not that was no part of my business.

Reporter Then bo far aa you were concerned he might have drawn a million. Eeporter Thero was no check on him. Rodman None for any subordinate. Rporter Do you mean to Bay that when a cheok was presented for payment whibh you knew was really unsupported by a deposit you could not refuse to honor it Rodman I might, but in this case Mr. Mills was'my superior officer ana I could not control his movements.

Reportter He had overdrawn his account $150,000 You knew it, and you said nothing to anyone Rodman That is all truo. Thjs terminated the interview. From that conversation it will be seen that whilo the Directors and the dspositofs were totally iguorant of Mr. Mills's defalcation, Mr. Rodman, put Bpeoially in trust to look after just such matters, knew perfectly well what was going on, but refrained from acting be cause the offender was the President.

Official Statement. This morning, an Eagle reporter called upon the officers of the Brooklyn Trust Company, and requested that a clear setting forth of its affairs be given him. He was handed the following document, which wbb and is addressed TO THE PUBLIC. The undersigned Directors of the Brooklyn Triut CompBuy, regret to announoe the suspension of the Company. The sudden death of tho late President, Mr.

Mills induced a thorough investigation of tho accounts of the bank, which has resulted, thus far, in the discovery of a large OVEEDKAFT ON THE PAET OF THE LATE PRESIDENT. Notwithstanding thiB, the undersigned, up to the dose of business hours yeBterday, believed it entirely poESible for tho company to continue its busineBB. Tho unexpected action of the bank, however, yester dry afternoon, through which the company made its exchangee, declining any longer to clear for us, and whicli action will in our opinion neceasarily causo a run to be made upon us WHIOH WE CANNOT AT ONCE MEET, hes induced us to determine upon a general suspension of business as a matter of justice not only i the depos itf rs of the company but aleo to the Btookholders. From the examination thus far made, we believe there will be NO CONSIDERABLE LOSS, IF ANY AT ALL, TO THE DEPOSITORS. It has been impossible for us to procure a full attendance of a quorum of the Board, as many of the directors aro out of town.

An examination will be continued and a full statement of tho affairs of the Company given to the public at the earliest moment. THE PUBLIC MAY REST ASSURED that no effort will bo wanting on our part to bring about a prompt and satisfactory settlement. SignedJ Daniel Chauhoev, A. McCue, Wm. S.

Tisdale, J. 8. Rockwell, S. L. Hosted, James D.

Frost. Joitn Halset, Henby Sahoeb. Tho Nassau Bank of Brooklyn. The above eight directors are the only ones who had signed this statement when it was handed to the Eagle reporter, but It will bo Bigned by all who are in town, as fast as they can bo reached. There is no doubt as to an entire unanimity of feeling upon Its subject matter among the members of the Board.

AT THE BANK TO DAY, owing to the above action on the part of the Direotors, thero has been no "run," of course, although deposi tors have crowded in occasionally to learn what the probabilities were. Tho assurances of the Directors, as found elsewhere expreEBed, have had the effect to quiet the apprehensions of the depositors to a great extent, and confidence is expressed among many of them of an ultimate satisfactory settlement.

Among tho securities hypothecated with tho Brooklyn Trust Company, are $200,000 of Georgia state bonds known as the Bullock iBaue, on which 75 per cont. was loaned, making the loan $160,000. ThiB issue has been tainted for Bomo time. When the loan was made the bonds were doubtiesa worth a sum which rondo the loan of 75 per a reasonable advance on them. Since then charges of over issue havo been and the bondB have declined in prioo until now only those who know their real valuo will have anght to do with them.

It is claimed by those who are posted that the bonds ore a good lien on the roads of the State. At any rate tho German and some of the American holders havo been acting in the matter recently, and the roads are to be sold on the 15th of Ootober under foreclosure of Bulloch" bonds. The roads are worth tho full amount of the issue and more, and those who hold? the bonds are willing to await the event of the sale. Moreover, tho State of Georgia will not allow her securit'es to be repudiated when they havo been pledged to build the roadB of the State. It would not be surpris'ng if the $200,000 Georgia bonds, held by tho Trust Company, turned out a good investment after all.

and in this case tho institution will not lose mush of anything by tho mistakes of Mr. MillB. BBOOKLYNITES OUT OF TOWN. SARATOGA. The following named residents of Brooklyn are registered at Saratoga.

M. The gold market was steady 116 to the close, the decrease in specie iu the bankH uot affecting the price, though the flat loan rate created some apprehens'on that gold might bo made worth a cousiderat ou for its use next week. Tho feature of tho stock speculation haa bcu a sharp corner in Erie. Tho German bankers bavo been gobbling up all the loose Erie siock they could find in this market, whilo other parties have sold it short, thinking that they could readily borrow until 20,000 shares came from tho other side, and make the market easy again. To day a 1 per cent, have been paid for tho use of the stnek until Monday, and it would not bo surprising if the corner lasted until the middle of next week.

Tho price of the stock advanced about by3 per cent, to day, but sales were made at the same time at about CO, seller ten days. WabaBh advanced sharply thiB afternoon ono per cent. as compared with the opening, and tho remainder of tho market has been active and moderately strong, attention being almost absorbed by Erie and Panama. The following table shows the course of the markets for tho week. The Dank of England rata waB lowered to i per cent, on Thursday, but the forced sh'pmeuts by the clique kept the price up to USallG.

The reporter addressed Mr. Stillman, and asked him if ho felt perfectly safe as to his deposit.

Mr. Stillman replied that ho did, and that he was in no way alarmed. This gentleman, it has been learned, represents, as a depositor, several trusts, among them the funds of ono or two collapsed Insurance companies, for which be was receiver.

It is quite the fashionable thing at the present time to be an athletlo expert in some one or other of the leading paetimea of the day.

If you are not a rowist tho leading rage of the day you muEi be a battiBt, or a gymnast, or something or other in tho athlete lino, or you will be nobody.

Not to tediously moralize on the subject, however, we hove simply to Btats thai, when dance musio fails to attract audiences, quite an assemblage can be gathered to witness the graceful evolutions of well trained athleteB, even if they be of the aznstenr closs only, who practice gymnastic exercises Bimply for health.

Somehow or other the ladies are specially fond of seeing the "human form divine," as exhibited in the pertor.8 of trained athletecs. Tho manly beauty of form, the daring courage, the lithe and graceful movements and the picturesque pOBtures which characterize the excrcisec of well taught gymnasts are irresistible attractions to the fair box; and hence, whenever Burnham's scholars don their Academy dress and go tbrourh with their chvas exercises there are yon sure to see a crowd of Brooklyn belles. Of course if there is a chance a danoe afterwards all the more attraction, for next to seeing a handsome athletec in his class uniform comes the chance to dance with him.

WHAT MIt. LOWBEB SAID. Ex Water Commissioner Lowber, sold in reference to tho death of Mr. Mills, that he did not believe that ha committed suicide, for if he had he would not have gone into tho water in a nude state, ho was too refined in his ideas for that besidoB, he appeared to have had his arrangements made by which he would have been relieved of any diffioulty or embarrassment. By ono o'clock tho visitors had become very few at tho bank of the Company, excepting those who had business with the Oity Treasurer.

The Clearing; Houses. The Nassau Bank on Court street is the clearing house for the Trust Company in Brooklyn, and in New York the Marine Bank does that work. Mr. Smith, PrcBident of the Nassau Bank.stated to an Eagle reporter that for every check paid by his institution the Trust Company had money in hand and they never to his knowledge overdrew their account. Ho believed the whole matter would be etraightsned up in a day or two.

At th? Nassau Bjnk Mr. Mills also kaj a privat) account, and that, Mr. Smith says, was never overdrawn, and certainly was not overdrawn, at the of hiB death. The account, however, kept in the Nassau was not a large one. It waB only such as grew out of his domestic rather than his business relations.

A report in the street this morning, to the effect that tho Nassau Bank had refused to honor three of Mr MillB checks this report Mr. Smith said was false, and ho explained it by saying that they had declined on legal grounds to pay three small ohecks presented tho day after his death. The check and money wero alkio matters for the executor's decision, and therefore the Bank did not feel at liberty to hand over the money to the applicant. Security for tbe Depositors. At the meeting of the Direotors, held this morning, there was considerable general disoussion, which the reporters could not reach, but they did ascertain that Hon.

Alexander McCue declared themselves prepared to guarantee the full and speedy payment of the depositors. This, as has already boon intimated, will be done. Anotbcr Defalcation Rumored. The disclosure of Mr. Mill's defalcation has bad the effect of connecting other names with operations of that kind.

Among them is the name of Mr. Thomas H. Bodman, mentioned above. His account is said to be short $34,000. For this, however, the company holds collaterals, but whether they are good or not remains to be determined.

Mills called, as was his daily custom, upon his butcher, Mr. George Xinkel, of Myrtle avenue, and in his ouatomary jovial manner, ordered his marketing, and, paying Mr. Kinkel a check on the Nassau Bank, remarked that ho was going out of town and didn't know when he would be back. Mr. Kinkel affirms that his general conduct and conversation wero anything but that of a man who had the idea of sul oide in hiB mind.

An Eagle reporter has thi following oonver. ation With Judge Alexander McOue, concerning Mr. Mills's speculations Reporter Judge, there aro rumors around town to the effect that you had influenced Mr. Mills in tho purchase of some real estate whioh turned out disastrously to him. Is there any truth in them Judge McO Not the slightest, sir, I never, in the slightest degree, did so.

I never had any business dealings with Mr. Mills, save a small mortgage of $530, which I hold against him. I have known Mr. Mills, I being counsel for the bank, for a number of years, but had no knowledge of hia business matters, whatever. Q.

When he was elected President of the Trust Com pany, was he the heaviest or one of the heaviest Btookholders in the Institution 7 A. No; he hod $12,000 IN STOCK in the company, but was not the heaviest stock owner. I am tho heaviest stock owner in the concern. Q. Then you positively deny having engineered any real estate speculations in which Mr.

Mills was concerned A. I certainly do. I knew nothing whatever of his transactions, but he added bitterly I oujht to have known what he was doing with the funds of the This remarkcvldently intimated that tho scrutiny of Mr. MUl'sbusiness dealing in which the funds of the bank were used, had not been so severe as it ought to have been, on account of the implicit confidence whioh had been placed In the deceased gentleman. A That to the Nassau Bank to inquire into tne trutn bf the roparta that some of Mr.

MihVs ohooks on that institution, in whioh he kept an aocount, had boon refused since his death, resulted in the information being true, not, however, for the reason that he had over drawn his account, but simply that, as ho was deceased, the balance to his account in tho bank, whioh there porter was informed was a large ono, belonged to his estate, and of course could not bo paid out until tho es tate was settled. THE SUICIDE THZOBV Is next to the defaloaUon the subject of much diversity of opinion among somo of his acquaintances. Ojo gentleman thought that even if hie financial difficulties were as represented his personal property, combined with the fact that his relotivcB and friends wore abundantly able to relievo him had he mode knbw to them his position, would havo covered his liabilities, without any.
