Mr. Levis was engaged in promoting various enterprises, but within the last few months has given all of his time during the day to the oll busi- hess.

THE MARYLAND MICA COMPANIES. Levis was active in promoting the organtzation of the several mica mining companies that have within the last year purchased landin Maryland. A gentlo- man acquainted with the affairs of these compantes Said to a Stax reporter to-day that he did not think Levis had any funds of the companies, or that bis Geparture would in any way affect the’ companies. “FROZEN OUT.” The sign of the National Refrigerating company in front of Levis’ office was the subject of many a grim Joke to-day among customers, who tink ey have been “frozen ouit.” Levis was a director and treasurer of that com- pany. Levis’ accounts with the company are, how- ever, all straight, and the company will not be affected at all, whatever may be the outcome of the Present affas? LEVIS PROPERTY ATTACHED. ‘This morning W. J. Purman entered a suit at law against George H. Levis, who ts alleged to haveab- Sconded with funds of his customers, to recover $3,940, and also secured a writ of attaciiment, and it a8 served this afternoon by the marshal on nine Jots standing in defendant's name—east half 14 atid 15 and 16, square 604; #, 662; 12, 666: 7, east of and 18, 632, east_of the arsehal, and two lots, 247 nd sh, in square 675, northeast of the Government ing OMice. ‘The’ last piece of $ as sessed ih excess of the clatm. vimn- attachments cover ali the property that is In Levis! name in this city. ‘It includes some real es tate, valued at four or five thousand dollars, which he recently bought, the office furniture and the Uonal bank. 1U4s not thought that Levis has any money at allat the Second National and only @ ‘small amount at the Central. 4 DEPUTY MARSHAL IN CHARGE OP THE OFFICE. Deputy Marshal Gass arrived at Levis’ office about noon, and took charge of Levis’ effects on the sultot Mr. Purman. Mr. Purman, who was one of the first to suspect that Levis had {coue for good, got out an attachment on Levis’ bank account at the Second National bank Monday, but 1t was found that his account had been overdrawn. LEVIS’ FAMILY INQUIRING FOR HIM. Dr. Wright received a telegram this morning from Levis’ family, making inquiries concerning him. Dr. Wright thinks that there is money due Levisin the hands of the New York brokers, and Says thal whatever is realized from thissource will De divided pro‘rata among the creditors. It 1s sald that Dr. Wright and his son will be heavy losers in case Levis talis to square accounts, but Dr. Wright SUll affirms his faith in Levis’ integrity. COL, ROCKWELL'S CONNECTION WITH LEVIS. Col. Rockwell stated to a Stam reporter that the real-estate transaction between himself and Mr. Levis had gone no further than a verbal agreement fo Duy. and eell,and not a cent or scrap of paper had passed between them. Levis had agreed to buy the lot on the corner of i7th street and Massa- chusetts avenue for so much money. He was to @ certain amount cash and execute a deed of st for the remainder. The deed was sent toGer- mantown last Friday for Mrs. Levis’ signature, and Was expected back on Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime Col. Rockwell had prepared a deed of transfer of the property, which he still holds pend- ing the consummation of the sale. ANXIOUS GOVERNMENT CLERKS, ‘The Levis mystery was a subject of general com- ment about the departments to-day, as many of the clerks had invested various amounts with him, and were anxious to learn all phases of the matter. BROKERS WHO LAUGH. ‘The brokers tn the up-town offices discussed this morning the affairs of Mr. Levis with a great deal of interest, and a8 they had not been affected Dy tt they could afford to laugh over the operations of the broker and the panic of the operators. “His customers,” remarked one of the brokers, «seemed to be located in the Immediate nelghbor- hood of his office. I understand that the employes in the Post OMice department and some of the busi- ness men in that vicinity were bis principal cus. tomers. T think that it was a skin game, and that there was no investment in oll at all.” “I with you,” remarked another, “but 1 don’t see how Levis could stay in town, his name, you know, is Leave-Us.” ‘The looks of silent disgust which were cast upon the punster at this effort was evidently an un- Pleasant surprise, as he had already put'on his hat, under the expectation that he would be at once invited out to take a drink, “4 SPLENDID THING.” “<I remember a few days ago,” resumed one of the group, “that a clerk in the Treasury department came up tome and sald, ‘I havea splendid thing.” ‘What is 1t2’ asked with interest. “#40 a month on $100,’ was the reply. “I put 1n $100 last month and drew out $40, and the next month I intend to ut in $500."

One of the operators in this venture related toa Stam reporter his experience. “My attention was firet called to the business carried on by Levis by a friend, who said that he was doing well, and wanted me to avail myself of the chance.

BURNSIDE Atnumber of the depositors with Levis refer to Col Burnside, the disbursing clerk of the Post Mice department, as the one who advised them of this opportunity of making money. They believe that he acted from a friendly motive towards them, and that he was making a good deal of money himself. Col Burnside lett last night for New York,and he 4g said to be very much disturbed on account of the losses of his frivnds.
