ors Fowler and De Puy put their hands down in their pockets ID the hopes of doIng something to save tue poor pe0- pie who had invested.
 REV. GEO. II. ADAMS,
 Of Prescott, 4. T.. superintendent of missions of tine Methodist Episcopal Church for that Territory, said yester- day to a Herald reporter:-"I have talked with many men about Bixby. There IS only one opinion about him III the West"
 ''Can you specify any transactions with which his name Is cOupled:"
 "None beside the Isabella mine. l was in Colorado" continued Mir. Adams, when 1 first learned of the ColonePs benevolent scheme, and l advised seyer- al to keep out of 1t. At the time Major Sisson's management was called in ques- tion l was sent at the request of Bishop Simpson and others to investigate. Major Sisson allowed me every facility, and after a careful examination of the books, the mines and mills, found ey- cry thing as straight as a die. The so- called Isabella mlne was no mine at all--not even a prospect 1 would not give five cents for 1t. The Alice vein was not large, but very rich, the ore be- ing of the base variety. After satisfy ing myself that Major Sisson's adminis- tration was both able and honest ] so reported to the managers. l have not since had any reason to change my opin- ion. l have reason to know" conclud- ed Mir. Adams, that Dr. Fowler has lost more from hls connection with these mines than any one else"
 LIGHT oS THE ANGLE MYSTERY.
 Considerable has bean said about the late MT. II. G. Angle, who m the capaci- ty of treasurer visited Globe City and was met by Major SissOn with shot guns. Last evening a reporter Of the Herald conv-rsed with his son, MT. Otto c. Angle, at the Glenham Hotel.
 50 much InunendO has been ln- dulged in regarding my fathers con nectiOn with the Globe City mine, said Mr Angle, that l think 1t about time for me to speak. Dr. Newman Is entirely correct ID saying that there IS nigger in the fence, and lt looks as if l would have to pull him out Tn order to clear my fathers memory from the lm- putations of dishonorable conduct which are being made so freely since his death. 1 have documents to back any assertions which l may make, and which differ in essential particulars from the statements which have been made by the friends of Dr. Fowler When these men were in the depths of the slough of despond they came to my father and asked him to take charge of the affairs of the company, admitting l., laI. Hsa ha difficulties that beset them and saying they needed the help ot some one of ex- perience and business ability. My father was a man of ability, as either of his former friends, General Ewing or Judge Dillon will tell you, and was ac- customed to handle large interests. They thought matters were going wrong at Globe City, and wanted him to go out and investigate. With great re- luctance he accepted the doubtful honor of treasurer, was given full au- thority and went out there.
 REFUSED ANITTANCE.
 "Maior Sisson refused to let him in- vestigate. Father got hold of the &C., count books, and they were stolen from him before he had a chance to study them. He received a great deal of evidence from other sources which con vinced hlm that Sisson was working for himself instead of the company, and discharged him. The next night SissOn stationed armed men at the mill with orders to hold the fort which they did. Unable to cope with violence father returned home, and before he reached New YOrk-before the mana gers heard his side of the story-they telegraphed to Sisson, revoking his action. When he arrived here and heard what had been done he was very angry, and, calling a meeting Of the directors. he told them very plainly what he thought of them, and added that he would have nothing more to do with them. Some of them retorted angrily, but Dr. Newman took up fathers cause and championed 1t hotly."
 Have you positive evidence of this2'
 ''Yes; I was doOrkeeper and heard everything which took place. The meet ing took place at my fathers office, No. 202 Broadway, which at the time was the office of the company. I kept the books for long time. After the meet ing father told Drs. Fowler and De Puy that they must take his stock off hIs hands or he would make the whole thing public, and they were forced to take 1t. Shortly after he and Fowler had long interview at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Father said afterward that pr. Fowler told him he did not dare to discharge Sisson. Father said many times that Sisson had hold on Fowler which the latter was unable to shake off. He as serted that the visit of Mir. Platt and Dr. De Puy were merely a whitewashing af- fair, intended to shield Slsson. Dr. Spence knew about this thing. His son was postmaster at Globe City, and he sent his father side news. have large bundle of letters that had passed be tween Dr. Spence and father which are full of evidence against Sisson. Dr. Newman who had acted courageOusly and honestly in the whole affair: Dr. Spence, who has lost very heavily in- deed. and my father, who, though loser did not judge the matter n a partial spirit, all believed that Sisson was not the man for the place be held. My fath- CT told me that be knew Fowler to be the head man in the whole affair, and be believed Dr. De Puy to be thoroughly led by him.
 GARDNER VERSUS ANGLE.
 MT. Gardner says that your fathers action was revoked after your father got back, and that your father afterward said the managers were right in doing so."
 That is utterly false
 "Dr. Gardner also says that Dr. Spence's prejudice against Major Slsson arose merely from a desire to push his son into the superirtendency.
 If you ask Dr. Spence or his son either they will tell you how true that is. Dr. Spence's son can tell more than anyone else regarding the doings at Globe City"
 But Major Sisson is said to be a trustee of the Methodist church at Globe City and member ID good stand ing.
 :" I have no doubt he is. The trouble with Mir Gardner is this:-He Is great stickler for the Methodist Church. and he is willing to overlook a good deal for its sake. He is great believer in chari- ty. I know of his saying recently with regard to this case, We must bo charlta- ble. It will not do to tell all We know in this matter MT. Gardner is a very nice gentleman, kind hearted and bene- volent."
 "AIr. Gardner complained to-day that Dr. Newman had waited until now to free his mind regarding the alleged do- Ings of Major Sisson and Dr. Fowler.
 "There you have 1t again. Dr. Fow- Ter expressed himself in no measured terms at the meeting have already spoken of I tell you, sir, there Is an Ethiopian in the fence as Dr. Newman says, and We will have him out before the matter is ended"
