How a Rallrom) Magnate Failed to Do It—Compelled to Pay Over Millions of Money, New Yeuk, April 9.—A rumor was started te-night that James McHenry, day onboard the steamship Servia, on which he was a passenger for England. The slleged arrest is said to be at the instance of the Erie railroad. A promi- nent official of that road said that Mc- Henry was arrested by the United States marshal on board the Servia when about tosail; that the arrest was made on an execution obtained on a judg- ment issued by the United States courts here for over $2,000,000; that the judgment was obtained over four years ago. McHenry, since his last arrival in this country, has been trying to negotiate a settlement through third perties with President Jewott of the Erie Road. No agreement could be reached. Jewett learaed that McHenry was about to sail for England without satisfying the judgment; 8o he instruct- od his attorney to take out an execution and place it in the United States mar- shal’s hands. Negotiations for settle- ment were continued as late as last Tuesday, but still no conclusion arrived at. Two hours before the Servia sailed the marshal and Jewett's lawyers went aboard, when the former served a warrant on McHenry., Jewett was immediately communicated with, and shortly after terms of settlement were agreed upon. McHenry turned over to Jewett 11,000 shares of stock of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & In- dianapolis railroad, valued at $681,000, and 13,000 shares of the Chicago & At- lantic extension bonds, valued at $1,800,- 000. McHenry also gave a written promise to pay the balance af the judge- ment in one or two years. The matter being settled to Jewett's satisfaction, the execution was withdrawn and McHenry allowed to sail. James Riley, McHenry's agent, says McHenry was not arrested; thatofficers were aboard the steamer, he has no doubt, but that a peaceful settlement was mnegotiated by him for McHenry prior to the latter's go- ing aboard the Servia. He says McHenry will return to America in August or Sep- tember next.

On call board 2,200,000 bushels sold, May advancing to 85, and closed at 84f@843; June closed at 86§, and July at 87§.
