Money Said to Have Gone for Private
Expenses.

BosToN, Aug. 19.-There is nothing new
in the affairs of the late William Gray, Jr;,
as yet. Informal meetings OF the stockhol-
ders are being held every day, and the books
are being carefully examined; but until
Wednesday next, when meeting OF tne
stockholders will be held, nothing IN the
shape of public statement Will be made.
A visit to the Office of Charles ii. Dalton this
morning disclosed the fact that that gentle
man was absent in Lowell at the mill, Wnlle
Mr.. Saltonstall was likewise engaged.
Mr. r. M. Moore, Sr, counsel Tor the dl-
rectors, met number OF the gentlemen at
the office of the corporation this morning,
but nothing new was developed. One OF the
directors stated that they came together ire
quently though by no special call, and moth
ing definite has been accomplished That can
be given to the public. =,
1t is source of much wonderment to all
where such an amount of money went to,
and rumors of rash and heavy speculation
have been current His own explanation,
and the only one given the directors when
accused of the embeZZlement was that the
money had been sunk in building operations,
but it seems hardly probably that so much
money could have been lost in such a man
ner, as the property could not have shrunk
to such an extent. Nothing can be absolute
ly learned at present as to what disposition
was made of the money, but the rumor OF
speculation is believed to be unfounded.
While it is true that Mr.. Gray did dabble to
some extent in stocks, his operations as lar
as can be learned were not of such charac-
ter as to embarras him, and there appears to
be more reason to believe that his dealings
have been profitable.
