Fart River, Mass., April 22.—Since the de- fateatlon of Chace, the Treasurer of thy Union Mills, considerabic uncasiness hos been felt aliout the solvency of the Burder City and Baga- moroe Mills, of which (icorze T, Hathuway fs Treasurer, ‘Ibls upcasiness culminated fu the protest of the corpuration’s paper at Providence Inst week, which then ‘was sttributed 1o the oversight uf the Treusurer, but since that time these notes huve beeu permitted to remaly un- pald. In consequence of this fact the Dircctors tnade an fmperative demand upon Hathaway for an fmwmediate statement of aatrs, The latter has been busily ut work upon the scttlement, and todlay It was eubmitted to the Di- rectors, but no official inthnation of its con- tetits has been made publie, It §8 safd, bow- ever, that affairs are. tereibly mixed, and that Trensurer Hathaway fs a heavy defaulter to Loth mifls. An expert has been put upen the books, and & statement will be given gs early ns possible, Severul Ditectors of the Border City and Bazamors Mills wese also Dircctors of the Unlow Miils, and the nffalrs of the tlree cor- porations are closely allied. No statement can be obtained of Hathaway, and the Directors will meet again, when, It is sald, they will give o statement, The Border Gity is tuvolved to the extent of $1,200,000 aud tho Sagamore largely, but no figures aro given. It appears that Ilathaway was drawp futo the affale through close intimacy with Chacc, the Intter, it Is understood, receiviuga large awount of th funds of the Border City. The Border City Mills were Incorporated in 1872, and consisted of two wilis till November, 1877, when Mill No. 1 was destroyed Ly flre. ‘These mitls manufactured about 24,000,000 yards of tloth per avnum, sud ¢wploved 900 Lands. When the first mili was bullt it was called “The People’s MIlL," the stoek belnz Leld by wmany small stockbolders. Ucorge T. Ilnthaway, about twelve years ago, came to thiscity and beeame bookkeeper for the Mussasoft Flour- Mill, and became assoclated with his cousio, Mr, Chace, A few years ngo, when real estato was bringing fabutous prices, Hathaway tuvest ed, and realized splendid pdvances on his pur- chases, auid soon there wus started the Border City Mill No. 1, throughi bls fustrumentallty. Mr, Hathaway won the respeet of every- body, aud business men Uegan fmmedlately to call him the “comlng man? The Doand of Trale emt llm to England afew yenrs since to see what could be done in exporting cloth, The Border City Mill No. 1 was burncd, and hardly before the firo was out measyres wero taken towards rebullding. This was opposcd by many, yet Mr. Hathaway car- rled his point, and the mill started, to be paid for by the insurance moncy. Within a few years the Sagamore Alilis werg bullt, but, by the ismanagement of property, decreased fu value. "The cry nroso for Hathaway to be Treasurer, und I was accordlugly clected, and matters tinmediately improved. Latcly there wos e tated the question of another Sugamors mill, und accordingly, & few weeks since, Sagamore No. 3 was alsustarted. Thus Mr. [athaway had two mills on hts hauds when the Unlon Milts crash cutne, Owlnig to the closs associntion of Chace and Hathaway, suspicion was fumediatety aroused as to whetiier the Border City wus ail tlfiht. A wecting of stockliolders of the Union Mils was held to-day, at which a statement of thie cundition of the fltancial affairs of the cor- poration was presented. The valuativn of the il property is 3938,130; the mmount of regu- lar notes outstanding acainet tho corporation is £433,003; nmount of Irregular aud void notes remaluing unpaid, $603,407, ' Thewhole amount of frregular notes lssucd 1s $530,407, ‘The total amount of regulur and {rregular or fraudulent notes, £42,071, and the amount of bills payabls Wt addition to the notes, as far as known, wiil probably not axceed 850,000, ‘The property of the corporation i placed ut & low cstlinate, aud if the ilegitimate notes are not included T ita Nabilltics, the Company will have o splendid property left after noyine uwll it legitimate notes, Even should they ba held liabls for tho irreyulur notes, tha corporation at the present vule of its property can pay very nearly 100 cents on the dullar. A resulution was adopted to appoint an ad- visory cumwitiee, couslsting of Joln L, An- thony, Thumas E. Brayton, und Jues M. Mor- ton, Jr., to ndvise with and assist the Dirtctors {u regurd to the course und coudition of the carporation. ‘I'nu capital stock of the Border City Mills, which wis always represented by Treasurer Tlutnuway as #tl Dald in, now sppears unly to liayu been about three-fourths putd, The fecliug expressed sgoinit Hathaway Ly muny Is very bitter, and his arrest will not probubly be delayed wa lon as that of Chuce, e las perstatently falaltics the affairs to the Dircetors sinco the Unlon Milts defalention, 3118 driends eluim that he cm show that ot one dollar of woney has been ap- rrnpflncd tobls ownuse; that tho ortginud oans of money to Chace were made in cood fwihs ihat Hathaway had property enough to hold bis corporations harmless; and that “until a fow days ho believed his mills would not lose; that the recent loans to Chuce had been made because tho Jotter threatoued and drove him ine to u vourse of action which ho never intended.
