The embezzlement Of nearly $500, 900 by
S. Angler Chace, treasurer and agent of the
Union Print Cloth Mills, of Fall River,
Mass, and the consequent failure of the
company, has made no little stir in bust
ness circles. He is reported as a man Of
wide influence, and hitherto unblemished
reputation, having been connected with
several banks and insurance companies, a
prominent man in the church, and active
in public and private charities. His habits
are reported to have been very regular,
his mode of living economical, and mer-
chants there are at loss to know what he
has done with such large amount Of
money. As treasurer Of the Union Mill he
had very extensive powers, signing checks,
issuing notes and making sales and collcc-
TONS. The directors usually met once q
month, when the treasurer submitted re-
port which was accepted as correct without
examination of the books and vouchers
The mill, it is reported, has been very
successful, and for the ten years preceding
1877 its profits were large. During the past
year there has been heavy decline in
prices of print cloths, and the Union Mill.
goods are only commanding 81 cents yard
at present-a decline of nearly so per cent.
A new mill of equal capacity with the old
one is about completed.
Mr. Chace has been indicted for embezzle-
ment and misappropriation of corporation
funds, and is liable to be for perjury
in swearing to his annual returns. The
penalty for either Of these offences is a
long term of Imprisonment in the State
prison. He was arrested on Saturday.

in swearing to his annual returns. The

long term of imprisonment in the State

Mis-. TIlToN's LETTER, viewed in any
aspect, is onc Of the most melancholy docu-
merits ever given to the public. If it is q
true declaration-snd by many who read it
it will, of course, be accepted as such-what
can be sadder than the spectacle Of q woman,
the mother Of modest, grown up daughters,
and member of Christian church pro-
claiming 10 the world her own shame vol
unteering, through the public press. her con-
fession of a crime which in most civilized
communities would subject her to criminal
prosecution, end in all to the deepest dis
grace which can befall woman, and ac-
knowledging that her deliberate denials of
that crime. repeated to hundreds in private
conversation ard given by her TO the public
in published letters, and sworn to in
formal afidavits. were so many false
hoods Ii true statement, it is Hester, not
condemned by others to wear the letter
"A", badge of shame and crime. upon her
breast but adopting it of her own accord,
years after the time when confession should
have come if there were guilt to confess, and
walking out with it to the most public
assembly, to proclaim herself adulteress
and liar-false wife, false mother, false
friend, false church member-false and fore
sworn in every relation of life; and doomed
by her long course of lying to be disbelieved.
even when truth at last had taken the place
of falsehood If this be indeed the work
of conscience, what stronger instance Of the
power Of an aroused and guilty conscience
was ever given? What deeper disgrace,
what heavier penalty was ever Voluntarily
accepted, than that to which this woman,
who thus makes herself by-word of weak
ness and shame. has ondemned herself?
II not true-and to many doubtless this
statement will be simply a fresh and more
devilish device of the artful Theodore
falsehood drawn up by him. to which he has
made out to secure his wife's signature
it is most lamentable and pitiable eIhibi-
ton of weakness and folly. To confess
guilt, after long course Of falsehood main
tanned in the hope of hiding shame, is con-
ceivable. But to adopt false confession of
such deep shame to herself and with such
consequences OF disgrace and wrong to
would be a more stupendous
weakness, a more wicked decd, than the
folly and weakness and wrong which she
ascribes to herself. 1t is almost inconceiy-
able that a woman in her right mind could
be induced thus to rush into print with
false confession of her shame and duplicity.
But so much is clear to all. Mrs. Tilton's
course has been such as to deprive her word
Of all value. Whatever is plain without her
will be plain with it. Whatever
has been mysterious, her assertions will not
make clear, unless backed by proof which |
would be enough without her word

WILLIAM =. FURNIss's ESTATE.
The Suicide OF One or the Heirs Changing Its
Original disposition.

On the night of the 9th Of July, 1877, Leon
Furniss committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart. He was one OF the three
sons Of William Z. Furniss. who coming to this
country from the West Indies in $780, already
possessor Of considerable fortune. in less
than score of years became a rich man. He
then retired from active life. but his wealth
from the rise in real estate increased until.
when he died in 1870. he was estimated to be
worth sl.5o0.000.
Mr. Furniss be1ueathed to his widow and six
children an equal interest in the income Of the
estate The only dispOsal of thcir inheritan ce
that the heirs could make was To name the ono
e. whom his share should 20 after his death.
In the event Of no heir being named. the re.
naming brothers ana sisters shared in equal
proportion. In this way the heirs Of either son
or daughter We're left unprovidcd for except SO
Leon Furniss. from the flrst. felt aesrieved at
the restrictions under which his inheritance
WAS fettercd. and tried to gain complete control
Of the principal as well as the income. In
this he was partially successful. although
he continued 10 add to his personally.
His discomfort was aggravated hy the trustees
hoiding on TO the real estate through the panic
OF 1873 and its consequent great decline in
value. Notwithstanding the curtailment of in

he lived in eNtravagant style. His excesses
finally drove his wife from him. and alienated
friends and relatives. Depressed, by these
causes. after a prolonged drbauch, he took his
own life. He bequeathed To his wife his per-
sona property, and named his brother Will lam
to succeed to his share Of the estate. He had no
children. But his debts wore greater than the
personally. and the widow. Mrs. Louisa NJ Fur
Mss, was left penniless. Hartman X. Furniss,
the brother not named in Icons Will, contested
1t last q tubcr, mainly in behalf OF the widow.
ON Friday last the suit was compromised,
and the will ia to be- allowed TO 90 to probate.
An agreement WAS made 10y which all the eX-
penses Of the contestants are paid. The in
