MADISON, Wis, April 23.-My predictions
last night of big scandal cass at the deaf
and dumb asylum has proven true. The
charges are made by Cyrus L. Williams, At
present teacher in the Jones school fos the
deaf and dumb at Chicago. They are
briefly that Professor ,Demott, the principal
OF the deaf and dusb asylum, has
been criminally intimate with one of the
female teachers and one or more of the
female mute pupils, and Steward Woodbury.
IS alike guilty. And further, the latter gen
tleman has committed rapes at different
times on several of the female pupils.
These charges are accompanied by vc!umin-
ons documentary proofs, which the board
had before them at their session this morn
ing.
The adjourned meeting will be had al
Delavan tomorrow evening, where the local
board will investigate the chaages, and
should the charges be substantiated, sum.
mary punishment will be meted out to the
guilty parties. One of the board is inclined
to look with suspicion on the charges, con.
sideringthem as emanating from a discharged
teacher, and one not altogether noted 70,
veracity. Should the charges be proven, il
will develop official rottenness of remarka.
bic nature, and the punishment of these
leDers cannot be too severe.

HATHAWAY THE DEFAuLrER.
FALL RIVER, Mass, April 23.-The com
mettee to wait on Hathaway, the defaultin,
treasurer of the Sycamore and Border Cit,
mills, met him this morning, but by advic
of counsel he refused to make further dis
closures. This determination is great dis
appointment to the directors, who expected
to find Hathaway willing to straighten ou
the affairs of the corporation. The indigna
ton on the part of the public is general
Hathaway proposes to take advantage of al
technicalities to escape criminal indictment
It is believed that should Chace BIO hele
liable for the irregular notes, he will b,
forced into bankruptcy, instead of being ar.
raigned for the criminal offense. Chace
claims he received from Hathaway but {
comparatively small amount, and through
his duplicity and prevarications he had in.
volved some Of his (Chace's) best friends
The banks in various cities holding the ir
regular notes have sent officers here, who
are making arrangements. Providence
New Bedford and Boston banks will suffer
most'severely, and some of the Fall Rive,
banks are probably involved.
Later, at meeting of the directors, Hath
away resigned the treasurership of Sagamor.
and Border City mills, and Joseph w. Wad
| leigh was elected clerk and treasurer prt
tenn of Border City, and John Brown clerl
and treasurer pro tenn of Sycamore. It wa,
deemed advisable by counsel and director,
to pay no debts to either the operatives O.
others at present, under the bankrupt law O.
the United States as well as the State Law
The help will all receive their full pay On,
everything possible will be done by bot
companies for the benefit of their creditors

dollars of the money: 81 haven't had on

also,' and finally begged me to take tn
