THE EATLANTIc COTTON MILLS.
Ex-Treasurer Cray's Way of Defraud-
ing the Company.
The Simplicity of His Method De-
ceives the Directors.

Boston, Oct. 8.-The directors of the At
lantic cotton mills and the expert employed
by them have for weeks been engaged in in
yestigating the manner i'll which the late
treasurer, William Gray, Jr., carried on his
operations, ana nave prepared their report
to be presented to the stockholders next
Wednesday. From the report it appears that
the entire loss to the Atlantic company, in
case the claim against the Indian Orchard
mills for balance of the loan account is sus-
made good, leaving $24,3S9 as the debt
against his estate. The balance of the loan
account against the Indian Orchard mills,
1855, 800, is disputed by that company and q
suit for its recovery is now pending. Mean
time the Atlantic is badly crippled by the
loss of this large sum, and the directors rec
0mmtnd that the capital stock be reduced
to 100000, and then increased to 81, 200, 900
by the addition OF new capital They urge
prompt response to the plan for reorganiza-
ton. The directors call attention to Expert
Fowle's report, which shows that Gray for
several years kept private account not APP
pearlng on the books, both with the At
lantic company and the Indian Orchard.
The balances ON these accounts were paid
by him in season for stated examinations by
the accountant employed by the stockholders
committee. Prior to 1888 Gray paid these
balances from his own resources; after that
time he used checks of the two companies.
At the time of the disclosure, August 18th,
he was indebted to this company on his pri-
vate account $46,672 and to the the Indian
Orchard mills $511, $50.
The directors transmit herewith a COM
munication from Mr.. Cunningham, admins
TRAITOR Of Gray's estate, from which it ap-
pears that his largest losses were from gamb-
ling in stocks, the amount so absorbed be-
ing placed at Sl54,6S3, as near as can be as
certained from his accounts.
The experts report states that there was
no falsifying of books; there was simply
kept from them the fact that Mr.. Gray owed
money, and even this fact and the amount
due from Gray were kept by the book-keep-
er in asprivate account, and Gray's debt was
paid in full to each corporation alternately
just previous to its examination day.
The bookkeepers of these two corporations
themselves kept in private account with
Gray's statement full of all cash receipts
and payments that were kept from the books
Four must have known the trouble: Gray, the
accountant and two bookkeepers, but so long
as they remained reticent Mr.. Fowle cannot
see how others should suspect it. With these
continuing reticept, Gray's position as treas
urer of both companies, gave an easy opp0r
tunity for doing as he did. The very SIM
plicity of his method resulted in great secur-
ity from detection.
The directors recommend a change in the
bylaws, whereby the treasurer may or may
not be a member Of the board of directors, las
the stockholders may determine. AT present
the bylaws declare that he ''shall be" a
member,

cLENARM's GREAT VICTORY.
He Trots in 2.26 a in a Race at
Canton.

CANTON, Oct. S.-The hottest fight seen on
Maine track for many years was that be-
tween Glenarm and Stargazer at Canton, on
Thursday, and Glenarm won victory which
makes him the greatest stallion in Maine.
He lowered his record to 2.264 in the third
heat of the race, which was the fastest time
ever made by Maine horseon Maine track
in race.
Honors were even between them when the
two horses met and this was the tug of war.
When Stargazer beat Glenarm at the State
Fair, Glenarm's stock went down, but the
stallion's subsequent achievements have
more than made up for the temporary de-
preston. An immense crowd came to Can
ton to see the two horses have it out, and the
widest excitement ruled. AS Stargazer was
a Buckfeld horse, the most of the people
were ON his side. He also was favorite
with the betting men at the start. A GER
tain coterie of gamblers from Lewiston. bet
against Glenarm and dropped about $500.
they drew positions as follows: Stargazer,
Maggie Miller and Glenarm.
Glcnarm won the first heat by about three
lengths. The second heat was a fighting"
one and was taken by Glenarm by scarcely a
nose, Stargazer second In the third heat
Stargazer led to the first turn the second
time round, having trotted the mile in 1.12
The driver of Glenarm finding he wanted a
little more work he drew him out. He
passed Stargazer in one of the most magnif-
cent bursts of speed ever seen by spectators
Of h<rc
formance that even the friends of .Stargazer
joined in the cheering that greeted it. In a
distance of less than five rods elena rm
trotted out around Stargazer and passed him.

The Baptists on Temperance.

At the Baptist State Convention the COM
mittee on reform of which Judge Percival
Bonney was chairman, reported the follow
ing resolutions which we're adopted by the
convention:
Recognizing with devout gratitude to God the
existence of an improved public sentiment in this
State with reference to the use of intoxicating
liquors. and believing this to be due in a large
measure to the favorable attitude of the Christian
church toward this great reform as toward all
plans for the amelioratiOn of the human race.
This convention representing church member
ship of 20 900 persons TeiterateS its belief in the
principle of total abstinence, and through its
churches, will labor to spread the principle among
the people. To this end the convention recon-
mends that special efforts be made to Influence
the minds of the children by suitable lessons
from the pulpit and in the Sabbath school and BY
proper instruction in the public schools.
Laws in a republic in order to be effective must
reflect the sentiments of the people. The import
ant work now before the frisnds OF temperance in
the State Of Maine Is the creation and mainten-
ance of sensitive ana healthy public opinion on
the great question so that the officers OF the law
may be strengthened by the moral support ana
approval of their constituents.
The convention not only believes that the sup
ply should be reduced to the minimum by the en-
actment and enforcement of prohibltory legisla.
tion. but also that the demand should be curtalied
which can be done only by the spread OF total aD-
Stinence habits among the people.
With the temperance reform as well as Win
every other prospect for the Improvement OF man $
condition the Baptists of Maine are In full sympa-
thy.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Mr.. PowderIy's Address Read Yes
terday Afternoon.
He Denies Assertions Made Concern
Ing the Knights and Catholic
Bishops.

RICHMOND, Oct. SIT was understood this
morning that the committee on credentials
of the Knights of Labor convention at Rich
mond had completed the consideration OF
the case of the st. Louis delegates and that
its report would be ready for presentation as
soon as the convention had assembled.
The contest is not one that has aroused
such bitter feelings as was created by the eff
forts of John Morrison or the representa-
tives of the seeding Brooklyn assembly to
it would soon be disposed of and matters OF
more real Importance be taken up.
Every one is growing impatient at the de-
lays encountered and all are beginning to
recognize the necessity of settling down to
business if they hope to conclude the session
of the convention within any reasonable
time.
Mr.. Powderly's address was finally read
this afternoon, the report of the committee
appointed to investigate the case of the
adopted. A resolution was adopted provid-
ing for the appointment of special COM
mittee to take into consideration those parts
of Powderly's address relating to education
and training of youth for the performance of
their duties as citizens. A committee ap-
pointed for this purpose sent this communi-,
cation to Charles E. German, chairman OF
the Equal Rights Democratic Association OF
Providence, X. l.:
"The Order of the Knights of Labor in general
assembly, convened at Richmond, Va, endorse
your efforts in behalf of the elimination of unjust
discrimination from the constitution of your State
and pledges its moral support to you until success
| is achieved"
Mr. Powderly says he has received no in
tmation that delegates are to be sent here
from Canada to consult with him in regard
| to so changing the constitution of the
knights of Labor. that it will be .unobjec.
| tionable to Roman Catholic churches. He
| also denies the statement that he called on
| Bishop Keane last evening to consult hin
with reference to affairs of the order and po
sition taken by the Knights on the color
question. Of 755 delegates entitled to seats
in the convention, 10 are present.
