Father Beyrne's Contempt Case.

HE COMPLIES WITH THE ORDER OF THE COURT
AND SURRESDERS HIS BOOKS.
FREDERICK. Nh. Sept. ia few weeks ago
difference of opinion and disagreement in the
management of the affairs Of st. Mary's college
arose between Father Beyrne. president of the
college, and Mr.. McSherry. the receiver ap-
pointed by the court in February last The
president. it is alleged. refusing to surrender
the account or minute book of the college, which
the receiver found it necessary to have i'm
his possession in order to act intelli-
gently in the performance of his duties
The ground of President Beyrne's refusal was
that the book contains matters which the re-
ceiver has no right to see, &c. Thereupon the
receiver brought the matter into court. and
Judge Lynch confirmed the receivers authority
in the management of the property.
and passed an order requiring the
delivery of the book in question.
This order was served upon President Beyrne.
and his reply to it was that he would not COM
ply until he was satisfied that it was final and
frrevocable, whereupon a petition was filed by
Mr. McSherry for an attachment for contempt of
court The attachment was issued and
made returnable to-day. when the court
passed pre-emptOry order requiring Father
Beyrne to deliver up the college book in
question. and confirming the receivers au-
thority to hold and obtain possession of and to
exercise control over all the property belonging
to the college. Father Beyrne who was pre-
sent in the courtroom, accordingly complied
with the order OF the court and surrendered the
books.

Gloomy Reports.
GENERAL TENOR OF THE DISPATCHES FROM
ELBERoN.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Specias from Elberon
are of the most gloomy character The Post
says:-"The President is nearing another crisis
The septic condition Of his system is manifest
ing itself in various threatening symptoms.
The bed sores, for instance which were present
in Washington and which healed, apparently
after his removal here, have again made their
appearance this morning. His pulse fuctu-
ates wildly, and his mind is less clear.
Upon the whole the outlook is not encouraging
and the next forty-eght hours may bring very
SAD news. DR.. Boynt0n said this morning that
he now feared the President had not sufficient
vitality left to surmount the present difficulties
even if no new complications made their appear
ance."
The Commercial says: 'This has been one of
the glOOmieSt days since the Presidents arrival.
and although the morning bulletin did not
create panic it came near doing so and greatly
depressed the spirits of everybody in
Guiding Attorney General MacVeagh, who
made his appearance at the Elberon about
the time the bulletin appeared The doctors
were not inclined to talk much-a sure sign
that the patient is worse or not doing well. DR..
BOyntOn. however. does not conceal his opin-
ions, and said he thought the situation looked
grave. and that it was doubtful whether the re-
naming vitality of the President would bring
him safely through, even without other compli-
cations.
The right lung is not healing but gave every
evidence OF an extended abSceSS and increased
Inflammation. DR.. BOynton is not. there
fore. satisfied with the condition of things
to-day, and does not hesitate to say So.
