The Failure of the Brooklyn Trust
Company.

RENEWED RXCITEMENT-THE UNITED STATES
LOSER TO THE TUNE OF 500 900,
NEW YORK, July Traditional excitement
is caused in Brooklyn financial circles by the
announcement that Judge Alexander McCue,
the largest stakeholder OF the Brooklyn trust
company, and on whose application IL was forced
to suspend payment, has, since Mills death,
been transferring his real estate in heavy blocks
TO his wife, to secure himself, from loss in case
the company proves insolvent The transfers,
which embrace one lot valued at 500, 900, are
first made ont by McCue to Edward NJ. Cullen;
then by the latter to McCue's wife. In addi-
ton to the deposits heretofore reported the
United States government had 300 600 with the
company; n. III. Clements S13 900, and DR.. Bry-
ant 81 800. The more searching the investiga-
ton the worse the condition of the concern APP
pears to be. Secretary NJ. 7. Rodman denies
that he is also defaulter, asserting that the
Connecticut town bonds furnished as security
will fully cover the loan TO him from the COM
pany of S3i GOO,

THE STORY OF E. S. MILLs.-A painful story
is related in our esprit of the press" concern
ing the late president of the Brooklyn Trust
company, and its leading details. we regret to
say, appear to be corroborated both by our Wall
street and Brooklyn reporters. Instead of a
case Of accidental drowning, his death has all
the appearance of a suicide-in which the I'M
happy man seems to have sought refuge from
the discovery of a heavy defslcation, and ~
betrayal of trust in the financial institution of
which he was president. 1t is the old story over
again. First, extravaganza, If not living be-
yond ones means; next, reckless speculation;
next, deeper involvement in debt; next, the
temptation to appropriate other peoples money
to make good his own losses-doubtless in the
delusive hope that his speculations, some day,
would turn in his favor-and then, the desper-
ate, despairipg resolve to cancel his obligations,
so far as this world is concerned, by canceling
his life. To the disgrace which must attach to
the memory Of such man is left a heritage of
woe to his innocent family, in whose misfortune
of course all must deeply sympathize.-N.Y. e.
press, 18th.
A telegram from New York last night, says
"Mils' conduct at Coney Island during the last
night OF his life gives material support to the
suicide theory. 1t is stated he dc not retire to
his bedroom until very late hour, and next
msrning it was found his bed had not been
slept in. At the time of his death these facts
were studiopsly concealed. 1t is said in Brook
Ign that an examination of the books OF the
bank, as far as prosecuted, developes loss Of
$500, 900.

We found many young ladies from Boston, three

religiously bound each other 70 wear hut one
pOlonase each, and they had torn of a few
lifts from the high heels OF their boots. Two
OF them, during the passage around a very
dangerous precipice which we came upon in
the course of our rambles, by their heroic da-
ring, saved the life of one of the gentlemen Of
the party, rescuing him from a position of GER
tain Death, II dependent upon his own eNer-
tons. One Of the young ladies, lying nat upon
the ground, slid out over the bank from which
the gentleman had slipped, clinging meanwhile
Ia the feet of the second lady, who, in turn,

man was drawn up slowly and with great eff
fort, having with pardOnabe indelicacy grasped
