Prom the Arts York Alvertuer. all street was astounded yesterday by gew revelations in the Adam’s Express Com pany's embrogllo, and the hundreds of busi ng, god social friends of John Hcey, tho deposed president, were pained to learn that sold out every dollar's worth of his stock in the corporation just before tho Boston Dispatch atd Kiulev Express negotiations. t larp BpooDer, tho then vice president, srns in tho same transaction, and he. too, a-soosed of all of his holdings in thd coui 'nv's shares prior to t e '‘turn” which on ‘ c Jg,i him to the extent of 8172,333. The committee of investigation was thunder struck when these discoveries were made. The news reached Wall street before the members of the committee recovered from their astonishment. ••Just think of it,” said one of the man agers of the company yesterday, the presi dent and vice president of the great Adams Express Company sell all their stock and then buv certain property for the company, ~a y ing for i , out of tho treasury, 8700,000 more than it is worth!” The speaker was excited, and before he cooled off he inad vertently dropped tho remark that another gentleman, high in the councils of the com pany, was also implicated in what he called a very questionable transaction. ‘‘The cor poration has been cheated out of a large Bum of money,” added the irate manager. President Sanford, Vice President L ve joy and Manager W. B. Dinsmore, the com mittee appointed Tuesday to investigate the financial affairs of the company, were in session at the company’s main office. No. 59 Broadway, for four hours yesterday and accomplished much of importance. ••(J me in,” said President Sanford at 3 o'clock to a Morning Advertiser reporter. ••I want to introduce you to our new vice president." The reporter passed through the gate where two watchful clerks have stood on guard for the past three days and was escort* and into the big directors’ room. Vice president Lovejoy and Committeeman Dinsmore were seated at the big mahogany council table end were delving in books, documents and papers to find out just how the company stands financially. It is a big task to go over all the accounts of millions of dollars’ worth of business extending over the past three years—since Mr. Hi ey’s in cumbancy—and the members of the com mittee were inclined to believe that a re port could not be prepared before Oct. 28, at which date the board of managers meet again. it is said that a good many suspicious en tries and items have been discovered which tne ex-president and ex-vice president will be called upon to explain. “You may ray,” exclaimed President Sanford as he dramatically drew up his tall form, “that the officers of this company will spare no effort to recover the large sums of money which have been unlawfully taken from the treasury.” "Will suits at law be instituted?” was esked. "Undoubtedly.” “Will a criminal prosecution be at tempted?” “It may come to that.” "Mr. Hcey does not own a dollar’s worth of stock,” said the president. “1 regret to fay that this statement also applies to Mr. Spooner.” This was what the investigation revealed yesterday. The old president and vice president, soon after they went into office m ISBS, actually sold oat all of their shares of tiie stock and the same men made the trade by which the Adams Express Com pany acquired the Boston Dispatch and Kmslej' Express Companies in Now Eng land for the sum of $850,000. The new officers find that Hoey & Spooner, who (lesuowledged in the supreme court before Judge Ingraham last April that they divided the sum of $700,000 profits on thi3 deal, did not own a dollar’s worth of stock at the time of the transaction nor for the past three years. Yet they held office during these years, until forced out, and the president has actually drawn nearly SOO,OOO in salary since ceasing to be a shareholder. He,,ry C. Taft is said to be the fourth mau involved in the deal, “Mo. 8” being in cognito at piesent. The committee expects to uuoarth other queer things to-dav, and they are prepared for any sort o? a surprise. "Is it any wonder that we wanted to get rid of those two men ?” said a manager yes terday with indienatiou. “It is the most remarkable situation ever coming to my knowledge,” he continued. “How two men. with not a penny’s worth of interest in a company with a capital of $21,000,000, could pocket their shares of a $700,000 ‘ deal’ and continue in office three years without discovery passes my understanding. It was one of the oloverest and most audacious schemes of financiering in the history of M all street. And now it is said that the 'aw cannot reach the ex-president. The worst cart of it is that we have discovered that we cannot collect a dollar from the two ej-offl.ters, there are so many judgments already ahead of us.” Mockholders aro becoming a trifle nerv ous over the revelations in the affairs of the orl rock-ribbed Adams Express Company, hliares have sold off from 147 to 140 since •heexposures, but brokers do not fear that tbere will he any great decline in the price of the stock. Fnsnds of Mr. Hoey at Deimonico’s yes terday said that tho ex-president would mate a statement soon and completely ex onerate hiuiself from the charge of mal feasance in office. Mr. Hoey has a host of friends who aro very loyal to him, and one of them suggested yesterday that the pub lic should withhold judgment until tho ex president could be heard. A dispatch from Bridgeport, Conn., yes terday says that tho story relative to the double dealing practiced by ex-Vica Fresi oant Clapp Spooner has caused much B.tomshment in that city, in which Mr. Bpooner has lived for the past thirty yeara. Jl-e-ddes in a palatial house on Golden Bill, the fashionable residential street; has De * n a P'Uar of Christ (Episcopal) church, and has always been regarded as a model of uprightness In business dealings.

Ordway in 1881, having i become acquainted with him a year previ i ous Her husband was in business with his father, Ira K. Ordway, as a cloihing cutter, with an office on Madison street, and made money. He took to drink soon aftor his marriage, and began to associate with dis reputable people. Things gradually grew worse, and no money was coming into the household, when one ioght Albert stood before the mirror with a mask on his face, and firmly declared that he was going to have some money from old man Snail that very night, or kill the She pleaded with him to renounce his wicked notions. He, however, was resolve,! to act. and left the house iu a hurry. That night he did not return, but the next morn ing he returned to the house without any 6hoes, but with A BLOODY HANDKERCHIEF. This handkerchief he tried to wash at a saloon before returning home. When questioned by her ho said that ha had lent his shoes to 'i’ascott, who had been injured by being shot, and was lying in the rear of a saloon on West Madison street. Tascott at that time rented and occupied a room on the corner or Elizabeth and Madi son streets, and Mrs. Ordway and her hus band were living at No. 360 South Morgan street, between Monroe and Adams. One of tho most important statements in the woman’s story is that she declares that Tascott is dead. She says she knows he was strangled to death and his body made away with by his pals. In that connection she frequently mentioned the names of Funkhouser, Mars den and Reynolds. Ordway was acquainted with Millionaire Snell, as he made a great many garments for him, and had borrowed money from him at times. One day Albert introduced her to Mr. Snell while walking along one of the streets in Chicago. Subsequent to the murder of Millionaire Snell she says her husband was continually nervous aud always seemed very anxious to leave the city. After a good deal of persua sion she agreod to accompany him to Balti more. Mrs. Mary Ana Watts sent money to her daughter for the trip. After they arrived iu Baltimore she told him she in tended TO EXPOSE HIS CRIME. This made him grow desperate and despondent and he took to drink. He always had money but did not work. She sometimes spoke of his connection with the crime to her mother, but was always silenced by Albert reminding her that she loved him, and that she had frequently declared that she would die for him. This usually had the desired effect. Mrs. Ordway is 33 years old and was born in this city. She grew to be a b autiful girl, tall and of good figure, witu black hair and eyes. Her hair is now gray, her cheeks sunken and her forehead wrinkled, but many traces of her former beauty remain. She was tliree times married. Her first husband was named John Cbesley. Mrs. Watts, the unfortunate woman’s mother, is 84 years old. She said her daugh ter had singularly attractive manners and conversation. She was used to a life of luxury aud plenty, and being childless an l at her age unable to stand a life of poverty the memory of the past dreadful events continually unbalanced her mind. PAM AND EVA VINDICATED. Pastor Junor Decides that Their Story is Strictly True. From the New York World. Jacksonville, Fla. , Oct. 14.—The Rev. Mr. Juuor started for home this morning satisfied, apparently, that Thornton and Eva are as innocent as lambs. The pastor has spent several days iu tho country lying between this city and the Atlantic ocean, and has gone carefnllv over tho route that the castaways claimed to have traveled, and ha3 seeu nearly every person with whom they conversed while in Florida. “I started out on the assumption that Thoratou’s story is true, and so far I find nothiug to shake my faith in his integrity,” said he to a correspondent. “Thornton says that he and Miss Jewell were set ashore on the Atlantic coast not far from the mouth of the St.’Johns river. Tho country was, of course, new to them, and the statement that their landing place was between May port and Pablo was only a surmise of theirs. [ have been all over the country down there, and I am firmly convinced that it was possible for them to have been lauded south of Pablo Beach, and to have reachod Jacksonville in the manner described by them. If they had been landed six miles or more south of Pablo they could have struck out iu a northwesterly direc tion, and have reached South Jacksonville by boat and by cart, without any of the geographical impossibilities that some of the newspaper reports have woven about them. They would, of course, have been obliged to cross a railroad track once, if not twice, but in their anxiety to reach civil ization they might not have noticed this.” “Did you find the house or log cabin where they said they got their breakfast?” "No, for I did not search for any such house. Mr. Thornton says the report of his story was incorrect in this one particular, and the reporter who got tho interview says it is oossiblo that he may have misunder stood Thornton on this one point. It wai regarded as a trivial inaccuracy then; now, however, it has a very important bearing upou the oise.” Mr. Junor, in his travels, found nobody who had seen a Spanish vessel “laying to” off the coast, nobody who saw a ship’s boat land with the castaways, and nobody’ who saw the pair on their tramp across the coun try or in tho rude conveyance in which they claim that they completed their journey. He has not, as far as he will discioso, dis covered the man who drove them to South Jacksonville, nor has he found anybody who saw them cross the ferry on the Sunday noon in question. But ho has seen all the attaches of the St. John’s house, and discovered the waist of Miss Jewell's dro-s, which she said was given her by the first Spanish captain’s wife and the quarters that they occupied in the lludnall block. He talked with the people in the St. John’s house and its an nex, and found nothing in their testimony to erimiirate the castaways. He cross-ex amined Conductor Barr, taking down his testimonv in short-hand, but faded to shake his identification of Samuel and Eva. Ed itor Carter’s story, too. was not altered a Brother Roebuck has not yet returned from the woods, where he went so sudfeuly last night to capture the negro who helped the castaways by a ride on his cart. It is now pretty well understood that Sam and Eve went down to Pablo Beach on Sun day morning (after arriving hero Saturday night) to get tho lay of the land prelimi narv to preparing their story. Pastor Juuor says there are slight discrep ancies between the statements of Carter and Barr, and that he proposes to ue these dis crepancies to break the force uf their toeti rnoiiy. Samuel Roebuck ha* evidently seen a nucleus for a uovel in the alleged advent urea of Thornton and Miss Jewell. He is at present in Florida collecting data for that purpose. It Is the intention of r * Roebuck to tell the s'orv in detail, and with as little preface • possible. Mr. Roebuck is also an artist, and the illustrations which the book will contain will lie by tamejlf.

F~om the Sew York Hun. Boston, Oct. 14.—Timothy Hopkins has consented to stop the contest of the Searles will for tho consideration of ?10,00u,000, and Edward S. Searles. it is alleged, has con sented to give up that amount of the estate rather than undergo the tortures of the ia quisition agaiu. All this was brought about iy the lawyers last night. Ihere wus a secret conference in this cltv, which was attended by lawyers and principals. The lawyersdid all the talking. They were Messrs. Burley, Endicott, B alt, Wilg n, Lincoln. and Mr. Allen of New York. Tney came togother early aud did not disband until early this morning. A stenographer was in the room, and took notes of every proposition and the action upon it. The principals were near by, but it was thought wise that they should not be in the room. Timothy Hopkins wanted $12,000,000, on the assumption that the estate inventor ied $25,000,000. When the contested will case was ad journed on Sept. 24 to Oct. 14 the lawyers were debating tne question as to whether certain documents bearing upon the con troversy w era included in an order of the court calling for all the papers that in any way related to the hearing. When Lawyer Burley, the senior counsel for Timothy Hopkins, asked for the correspondence be tween Mrs. Hopkins and the members of the so-called copartnership and the cheek books of Mr. Searles, he was informed they had nut been brought to court, as it was believed that they were not included in the order. It was then decided that another demand should be made for these necessary documents, as they held a vital relation to the charge of conspiracy entered by Timothy Hopkins against Searles and his alleged confederales to defraud Timothy out of his rightful inheritance. The will of Mrs. Hopkins divided her vast estate between her husband and her adopted son, and both were to serve as trustees w ith out bonds. Shortly before Mrs. Searles’ death she caused to be executed a codicil in which so much of the original instrument, as referred to Timothy was stricken out aud Lawyer Hubbard named in his place. This codicil was the center of attack by Timothy when he entered his protest against the pro bating of the will. After a long conference between the lawyers on both sides and Judge Hammond it was finally decided to adjourn the further hearing of the case until Oct. 14, aud in tne meantime all th<* documentary evidence wa3 to bo collected and brought to the court room. Before that time a rumor famed circulation that Searles had offered imothy $3,500,000 to compromise the whole thing, but this proposition was not eutor tained. Then camo unother report that the hearing had been further adjourned to Oct. 20. The fact that the negotiations for a compromise have been going on in secret and have been concluded will undoubtedly be denied by counsel. POINTERS FROM PEMBROKE. A Nimrod From Savannah Returns With Empty Game Bags. Pkmrrokk, Ga., Oct. 16.—Miller Everitt of Savannah, one of the efficient corps of Meinhard Bros.’ clerks, took advantage of last Monday’s holiday to try his luck as a hunter in tho woods aud fields surrounding Pembroke, and returned after discharging several dozen shells with the usual hunter’s luck (no game). C. B. Warrand the projector of the great scheme of utilizing the Canoochee river falls for power with which to ruu the electric lights of (Savannah, with a corps of en gineers headed by P. Sugdeu, have stopped ou their way to and from the river this week in making the preliminary survey. Mr. Bugden after completing bis work said that the original estimate of Mr. Warrand as to the elevation and fall varied only nine inohes from the survey, aud further says that they can control easily 10,000 horse-power by draining the river at the falls, which will give them a surplus of several thousand norse-power which can be utilized for mill purposes, after furnish ing oil the electric light power necessary. The firm of McMillan, Smith & Cos. of Liberty county’ have sold their large tur pentine business to H. 8. McCalium of Clarktou, N. C.

Mr. McMillan will commence business immediately in Tattnall county, while Mr. Smith will re move to Alabama. N. S. McMillan, acknowledged by all turpentine men to be one of the very best distillers in Georgia, is now lying idle awaiting developments. J. J. O’Connell, one of the accommodating train hands on mixsd train No. 17, had suc cessfully coupled some cars at this point on Thursday morning and was stepping from between the cars, when the engine started with a quick jerk that caused the coupliug pin to fly out, striking him on the back of the left band, breaking several bones. Dr. Strutton attended to the injured mau and succeeded in easing the paiu to a great ex tent. He was placed on the first down freight train, which passed about 1 o’clock, and sent to his home in Savannah.
