Henry 8, McComb. It must be borne In mind that what Col, Me- Comb avers ts under the sanctity of an oath, with Mr, Ames's attorney present to cross- examine him upon every point; and, further, It is important to remember that no allegation ts made which fs not fully and completely corrob- orated by Ames’s letters to McComb, Now for Ames's denial. Hoe says All the executive officers of the company, and several of its largest stockholders, Including my= self, have answered in sald suit long since under oath that the charges were entirely fal that not a single share of the stock of that conipany was ever given to any momber of Congress, directly or Indirectly, by me or any one else, to 1y knowledge. I now reiterate and reaffirm the tement, with t further declaration that L never gave a share of stock of that or any other ‘ompany, directly or indirectly, to any member of Cor 4. The sworn answers of myself and these other gentlemen, made and filed in the same suit, lying side by side in the same record, could have been published with the charges had {t suited the political purposes of Tne New Youk Sun. The assertion that he himself, together with all tho executive officers of the company and several of its largest stockholders, have long since answered under oath the charges con- tained in the testimony printed in ‘Tue Svs, ts utterly false. Neither Mr. Ames nor any of the parties defendants to this suit have appeared before A. Wilson Norris, the examiner appoint- ed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to take the testimony in the case, althou, he, as well as others of those, b been duly summoned so to app What they have done is simply this: On the 20th of January, 1569, the Credit Mobilier of America, through its attorneys, fled an answer to the bill in equity which Col. Ames had caused to be brought against them. This is the only way in which Mr. Ames has answered anything in this case, as the oficial records show. In this answer nothing but general and evasive denials are made, They do not deny that any shares of stock were given to any member of Congress, because no such averment or charge is contained inthe plaintiff's bill, What ts charged In the plaintif’s Dill against Mr. Ames, which has Just been obtained, is as follows After this fraudulent alterat! and in accordance with the f company to be the owner of the 5 shar and the dividends thereon, to which your orator had acquired his right and title as afore- said, the directors, offers, and managers afot sald, did in fraud Of your urator's « grant, register, and certify nof the bo claim of the together with all the dividends crued thereon, Oakes and the 343 of your’ orator's how stand on the books of the sald com. pany and on ail the official lists of its stockhold- ers as the proverty of Oakes Ames, trustee, without any designation of the persons for whose use he holds them, unless some change in said books and lists ha ine ur orator has been last permittes information, ments, directly to our orator hy Oakes Ames himself and by several of the other defendants, Which statements and admissions your orator firmly believes to be true, your orator now. charges and avers that the said Oakes Ames, or any person for whom pretends to hold them, did not pay oF give any lawful, prover or valuable consideration for the sald shares and the dividends thereon: that no- thing whatever was paid to said company for the shores aforesaid. That at the time when the said shares were transferred to Oukes Ames there had accrued thereon to your order divi- dends amounting to $1 on each share; that Oakes Ames, or bis cestué que truate' took the whole of th div ds, with the shares themselves, except one hundred dollars © dividends which were paid back to the transaction might have the ¢ of a purchase and sale of ‘said ste as it was in truth and in fact a corrupt and fraudulent gift of the said shares and of all the dividends, except $10 per share, which accrued thereon before the said transfer to Oakes Ames, as well as after- ward To Ame wil this and tls co specific and positive averment Mr. efondant reply with the fole nial, which really ts a cu iB evasive ¢ on of the truch of the gravamen of MeComb's charge. We are informed and believe, and therefor State, that certain actual and Vaid shares of stock of said eomy 43 tuber, were and aro upon the proper steck ledger of said compa. hy as held and owned by and tbat two hundi wentioned shares had beon duly issued by. said company, and were held by lawful holders there- of, before the pretended subscription of the plaintit for said sand before the third day of March, 1893, and the residue of said Sts shares were wholly of the increase shares, whieh had duly V some of the said last above me ) shares, and that none of sald. 343 shar any part of the sup: osed shares which the plaintif claims in. bis said bill ; and we are informed, and belleve, and therefore state, that the placing of said 43 shares of the capital stock of sald company in the hands of said Oakes Ames, and the rezistering thereof on the stock ledger of said company in the natne of Oakes Ames, trustee, were done at the ree quest and by the consent aud procurement of the plaintiff for the use of other parties than himself, and were so done In part on the Sth and oth days of September, 184, and the residue on the Ist day of April next thereafter ; and we in a like manner deny the several charges and ayerments in that paragraph contained, that the said Oakes Ames or any person for whom he pretends to hold them did not pay or give any lawful, proper, or valuable consideration €r sald shares and the dividends thereon. Pat no thing whatever was paid to said comm ny for the shares aforesaid. ‘This ts the extent and f+ his co-defendant's d¢"ja1 under oath, It willbe readily perceive that it is as lame and evasive 4s hls 14st averments contained in hés published maulfesto, It really adm.ts the whole against them so faras the real bribery is con- cerned, He ccknowledges that he holds these shares as trustee for some party or parties, and only denies that he gaye them away without any valuable consideration, and in so confessing pleads in extenuation that they were distributed with the consent and procurement of the plain- tiff, Col. MeComb, on or before April, 1868, On this point of concert or approval by Col, Me- Comb, the plaintiff, in his testimony before the examiner in Philadelphia, on cross-examination, swears as follows Q.—Have you ever as stock you clalin was issued? A,- When Uak Ames, through Alley and Sidney Dillon, ava Heeling Of the trustees, presented a paper to me Jor my signature as a stockholder in. th Credit Mobilicr, to allow Ames to tike two hun dred and fifty shares of the capital stock of the Credit Movilier, for a purpose which at the time of asking for ty signature wos not explatned only so far ay to say that it would. be placed by Oukes Atnes iu a way to bonett the company, | refused peremptorily to sign the paper until Thad gone over my clain for tho kant stuck for about the one-hundredth time, and received from Sidney Dillon, John B, Ailey, Oakes Ames, Josiah Bardwell, dnd Benjanin 'B. Bates the assurance that, allowing this stock to go to es should not in any way projudice my claim, but that this stock should be returned to me. tt of Mr. Ames and case tained to whom the there was not enough left to make my clatia good, After this pledgo then and there given to me, Lsigned the paper. Mr. Dillon bad not at that time signed the paper and positively ro- fused to sign until LT had done it or agreed to do it, Counsel for complainant asks counsel for de- fondants Co produce the original paper, ‘Thus it appears that at a regular meeting of the Trustees of the Credit Mobilier a corruption fund was raised at the suggestion of Oakes Ames, and MeComb refused to sign the paper giving Ames 250 shares for that purpose until all the Trustees pledged him that it ehould not prejudice his claim for the Fant stock, It will also be seen that the plaintiff’s counsel asked Amon's Counsel to produce this orginal paper which granted him the shares for corrupt pur- poses. It has never been produced any more than Mr, Ames has produced himself before the examiner to give his testimony, 80 much for the sworn answers of Mr. Ames and cowork- ore Lo Waly Malawitious business, Ho has not, as the New York Times #0 triumphantly exclaims, published a statement of his testimony given in the suit on which the slander is based, on oath and subject to cross-examination, disproving every charge and insinuation that he ever bribed or tried to bribe any member of Congress in the interest of his company. The answer ho has made as hereinwith given by no means meets the case. It is to all intents and purposes a con- fossion of everything that has been charged against him’ —— TAMMANY'S WEEDING OUT, —— The Anel id Honored Tostitut be Purified—Preparing the wny for a Good and Successtul Local Ticket.

As early as 9 o'clock the lovers of the game began to arrive, and stationed them- selves on the outskirts of the field, and by 11 o'clock there were upward of 2,000 persons pres- ent, including a fair proportion of ladies, The Now York team arrived upon the ground first, but they had not long to wait for their opp nents, who drove up to the ground in open car- Tiagos shortly afterward, Mr. W.G. Grave, who has dosorvedly earned for himself the reputation of being the first amatour batsman in England, was the centre of attraction, He looked every Inch an athlet standing over six feet in height, and of hercu- lean build, one could easily credit, from his gen= eral appearance, his possessing those wonderful powers ef hitting, about which so much has been sald and writton, The eleven were all large, and powerful men, and moved about in a careless, lounging manner, that showed them to be entirely free from anything like nervous ness, Eleven o'clock was the hour named for pitch. ing the wickets, but it was nearer was commenced. the twenty-two, w ings, and elected 2before play Mr, Gibbes, the captain of a the toas for choice of in- » send his men to the wicket. uickly In the fleld, and Messrs, Banve and Jackson went in to face the bowlin of Messrs, Kose and Appieby. ‘Tho slow bowl ing of the former gentleman was very puzzling and hard to play. Without being very effective in taking wickets, it was very aifficult to deal with without giving ® chance tothe fleld. Mr, Hance failed signally to do anything with it, and Went out without scorin, THE FIELDING OF THE ENGLISH ELEVEN, The felding of the Englishmen was perfect, Nothing was allowed to pass, and more than ene cateh Was made off a hit, which, with an inferior field, might be considered safe ‘play. When the over was called it was found that Mr. Appleby's fast bowling was as dangerous as Mr. Rose's un- derhand. Nearly every ball was pitched per- ly straight, and shot with an astonishing ve- The wickets fell before it fast, and of the twenty-two, no less than seven were taken by his bowling. At the close of the over Mr. Appleby fell back to short slip, and in this posi- ton showed himself no leas effective in. the field than asa bowler, making some extremely fine catches. He suceeeded in disposing of two men off Mr. Rose's bowling, and two off his own, Oneof his catches at short slip was especially worthy of notice. Mr. Sleigh slipped one of the slow balls as nearly as possible outof Mr. Apple- by's reach; the latter, however, was not to be denied, and just touching the ball, he appeared for a second ‘or two actually to balance it upon the tips of his fingers before finally lodging it safely in his hand. Tho with his bowling was m: being left-handed.

It was a noticeable fact that none of the Eng- lish flelders were placed far out. ‘They ap- peared to think It safer to take the risk of occasional bail being struck over th than to allow their opponents the chance of stealing a run before a short ball could be fel ed, and the correctness of their judgment on this point was shown by the fact’ that but three of thelr opponents, Mesara, Fortun, Cox, and Gibbs, succeded in niaking a hit for more two. eo highest Meulty of d ing h enhanced by his her Mr. pleby efficient all His powers of bat “d. as he did not yes- two wasmade i.

Brewster bowling. Mr. Grace mad n Mr, Wright, under the impr sion thata hard hit might give achance to some of the nu rous felders, gave him a slow, full- pede hed ball, in the h hat he would strike reely atit. He did so. Stepping outside the bas he took the ball before it resched the ground: and sent itnot only over the fielders ‘head at square leg, but completely out of the ground over the telegraph wires at the opposite side of the road, and coveral yards into some waste ground beyond, scoring six for @lost ball, amid a burst of applause. A few minutes afterward, getting a siinilar bail, he dealt with It In precise ly the same manner, hitting even further than before, A BAD BEGINNING. ‘This was a bad beginning forthe New and, next. hey changed the bowling, ativuting M vitor Mr. Wright, ‘I adecided tinprovement, Mr. Moeran’s b being faster and more dificult to play thi fhis predecessor, But Mr, Grace appy be In a hitting humor, and slashes for four and three followed in quick succession. Meanwhile Mr. Ottaway wes steadily running up a.score compe 1 of twos and singles; he was evidentl) nota bard by but his battiog was graceful, Ani very safe. Mr, Gibbes was not at all with the st of affairs, and attempted to tho tide of reverse Ly making repea the bowling. Mr. H, Wright was again substi- tuted for Mr. Moeran, but Mr. Grace, thouzh playing somewhat _more carefully, astonished the fleld by one-of his tremendous hits, Mr Ottaway also made two fours, and there appear- ed but little prospect of separating the pair. Mr, Jones was put on to bowl instead of Mr. Brews: ter, and shortly afteward Mr. George Wright displaced his brother, H-Wrlght, and finding the score still increasing, Mr. Brewster was again Dut to bow! Instead of Me. Jones, All was. ti ‘ain, bewever; the Englishmen obstinately kept the!) wickets against all comers, ‘The Eveut ys two were so thick that they nm unfrequently impeded one another, and the single chance given by Grace was lost by three Belders running to catch the ball, GRACE'S EFFECTIVE WORK, At length Mr. Grace, by a4, a6, nd a ov of elnales, placed his' score st af thus- heating the twenty-two off his own bat. Mr. Ottaway Scored. #, nnd when time was. called, and the stumps cre nat half past five, these two, with the extras, had placed a total of 102 rung to the credit of thelr eleven, abd not a single wicket down. ‘Tho New York team, from which the English and Fifth Dist ne not a single scattering | were assured they would meet the most deter- vote cask, a nen ghar were but three scat | mined opposition, appear likely to come out of tering votes, This is unprecedented tn Matue elections. | {he contest worse than any of the Canadian a Jubs; and it would not be surprising if Mr, An Unhappy Wife's Suicides Grace’ beats them of his own bat, ‘The vast Mrs. Susan Gormley, @ native of Ireland, aged 24, who lived at 901 Kast Thirty-ninth street, committed sulclde yesterday morning by cutting her throat with a razor, Coroner Schirmer beld the inquest, John Gormley, her husband, testified that they had been mar. superiority of the English Lowling is evidenced by the fact that the Eleven made not a single change Uhroughout the day, while their oppo- nents made no less than Ave Vay will be resuined at Il o'clock to-day, when Moasra, Ottaway and Grace will once more take ried only fourteen months, ‘They had lived fh thelr places at the wickot.

GREELEY, Arrived here, it was found that everybody along the whole route from New York was anx- lous to seo and take by the hand the old far- mer; and that, therefore, the train would be later by an hour than was anticipated. An im- promptu meeting of Pennsylvanians and Jersey- men Was organized at the railroad bridge, Ex- Mayor Thompson of Bordentown, Col. Cannon of the same place, Charley Jay of the Trenton tate Capital, Dr. Lioyd Wilbur of Hightstown, Mayor Isaac K.

Five minutes before this time, however, the booming of cannon called attention to the train rounding the distant curve, and the crowd, men, women, and children, broke into rapturous huzaaha.

It was al- most Impossible to restrain the enthusiasm of the crowd long enough to hear Cannon through with hia speech of introduction. Cannon allu- ded to the fact that a large portion of the audi- dience before him was froin the Convention over in Jersey, and this gave the good Doctor the cue for his little speech.

In a later edition, however, the Commercial acknowledged tho truth of the article, laying the blame of ita editorial stupldity on the chief of the examiners; who are now overhauling the Sub-Treasury age counts, It was extremely diMeult to glean any infore mation In regard to the character and extent the defalcation or the name of the suspected defaulter. ‘The various officials were studiously reticent, and when cornered did not hesitate ta refuse peremptorily to 8 to b questioned. From such facts as could be gathe cred, however, It appears that the amount miss, ing ranies from $150,000 to $20,000.

As he did not return at the spect. fled time, stispicion was aroused, and the Treas- ury Department ordered an examination of hia books. An apparent deficiency of between $160,000 and $1:0,.00 has been discovered, but this'sum may be greatly Increased before th examination of the books, which is now pro- gressing, is completed THE DEFAULTER'S ANTECEDENTS. Mr, Johnson came to this city from Albany about seven or eight years azo. He was former ly part proprietor of the Albany Argus, In Al. bany he lived in the most elegant style, and was reputed a millionaire. In this city he experie giced no dificulty In, gaining « footing in the firet business and social circles, through his ine address and business abilities. ' Having ingratl ted himself into the favor of Sub-Treasurer an Dyck, he was by him appointed to the ree sponsible position which be held in the stamp department, He has been living in an elegant mansion op the northern part of Staten Island, and, accords ing to the story of persons residing In the neigh= borhood, maintained a magnificent establishe ment and lived in a luxurious style, keeping fast horses, fancy turnouts, and plenty of sere vants. For some weeks the house has, to all appearances, been closed. Whether the furnt. ture has been remoyed or sold is not known, ag the absence of the fainily at this period of the year did not excite curiosity. Mr. Johnson i about 48 years of age, and awife and several grown up daughters. Whether his family is with him or not is unknown, HOW IT WAS DONE.

He hi charge of ali moneys paid in for stamps, an the aggregate amount sometimes reached $70,006 aday. Arule of the office provides that all money recelved in every department shall be hande to the head cashier every evening, and locked up inthe vaults. It is supposed that Jobnson did not give the ful amount of his receipts ta the cashier, but retained large balances for se’ eral days, until the aggregate sum reached $160, Quo. If his accounts and the number of stampa on hand had b n examined daily, he could not have taken a dollar, . At noon Gen.
