VIM. Gray. of Boston, Defaults and skips
for Canada.
BosroS, August 1.-THE publication Of
the fact that William Gray, Jr., Treasurer
of the Atlantic and Indian Orchard mills
corporations, is a defaulter to an enor~
nous amount, has created great excitement
here. 1t is believed his stealings will
amount to over $500, 900. Gray was de-
posed from the treasuryship OF both cor
p"rations several days ago, and William
Hoover was chosen temporary treasurer OF
the Atlantic mills and Edmund D. Wright
of the Indian Orchard mills. The assets
OF the two corporations amount to more
than 81, ,OOO, 900, and it is not believed the
solvency OF either is impaired by Gray's
operations. The capital Of the Atlantic
mills is 81, ,OOO. 900 and its assets, accord
ing to the last annual statement, exceeds
$2,OOO,OOO. The capital OF the Indian
Orchard mills is 5000, 900, and its assets
are nearly three times that sum. Gray has
been treasurer of the former for ten years
and OF the lsstter corporatien for e,sht
years. Hehas occupied a foremost posi-
ton in business and society circles.>
has lived magni6cently and has been re-:
garded as very wealthy. He owns the fine
cutter yacht Huron and has been Commo-
dore Uf the Dorchester Yacht club for
several years. Gray is about SO years old
and has wife and two sons.
In an interview this morning with two OF
the principal directors, who are anxious
that their names should be withheld, the
following fat ia were learned: Last Friday
the deficiency was discovered by an exam
liner appointed by the directors. and on
Saturday Gray came to the office and was
confronted with the charge. He, after q
moment or two, confessed to the crime, ac.
knowledeing he had embezzled the funds OF
the company to the extent OF between
$500. 900 and $500, 900, but rs to the use
to which he put the money his only reply
was "building operations This account
ing is believed to be true by the directors,
who say his operotions Of this character in
Roxbury have been notorious. 1t is also
believed that Gray has told the truth re-
garding the amount embezzled, and the
directors do not expect the deficit will ex-
ceed 100000. 1t is known that Gray left

A Notorious Negro Shoots . Retired Army
WASHINGTON, August 15.-Gen. Christie
pher c. Augur. retired United States
army officer, was shot four times about
o'clock this morning at his residence, by q
negro named William Pope. The wounds
will not prove serious, although he may be
confined to his house for some time. To-
day he was resting quietly. Pope and
another colored man were staining in
front OF the Generals residence using pro-
fame and obscene language, when he opened
the door and ordered them to move away.
The only response he received was a vOAey
of profane abuse and coarse epithets. This
was more than he could stand, and, armed
with light cane, he rushed up to the men
and struck Pope sharp blow over the
head. As he did so the negro
drew a pistol and fired. The ball
struck Gen. Augur in the right leg
above his knee. With q cry he staggered
back. Before he could recover himself,
Pope fired again and the ball took effect in
his right leg. Two more shots were fired,
one OF which strnck the General in the left
leg and the other on his side. The negro
who fred the shots is a notorious charac-
ter, who has already served q term in the
penitentiary for murder. He has been ar
rested. 49,.

vigilsntes Pursuing one of the Murder
ers--The Other Captured.
DENVER, August 16.-An Aspen special
to the News says A double assassination
was committed near this place yesterday
evening OF the most cold blooded charac-
ter. From what can be learned, it appears
that Dan Fenton had jumped the ranch OF
Harry Burrows. thirteen miles from here
aud employed Michael Ryan to work for
him. Yesterday morning they began cut
ting hay. Burrows warned the men not to
cut hay as he would not permit them to
finish the work. Fenton laughed at Burrows
who turned and went away. In about an
hour Fenton and Ryan who had continued
work were shot in the back, the former
through the spine and abdomen. The
shooting was done from ambush with q
rifle. The men lived six hours and before
dying made an ante mortem statement
claiming that Burrows and Doc White did
the killing. White has been arrested. The
last account Burrows is at large with the
yigilantes in pursuit, who will probably
lynch him il they capture him.

The Mexicans Looking for 3 Hole to
Crawl Through.
DENVER, Colo, August 16.-An FL Paso
special says: There are no new develop.
ments in the Cutting case to-day, although
the usual number OF unreliable rumors have
been manufactured to-day. One OF these
rumors is that large bodies OF Mexican
troops are streaming into Chihuahua.
There is, no doubt nothing in it. The
coming of Special Agent Sedgwick is inn
patiently waited by both sides: He will
spend few days in Paso del Norte and
then 20 to Chihuahua where he will spend
week. Then if he should
conclude to go to the City
of Mexico, he would remain on
his trip two weeks longer. The Mexicans
have kept a very stiff upper lip SO far and
it looks as though they would like to get
out of the Cutting business if they could
do 40 without sqnarely backing down:
The tone OF the daily papers in the City oi
Mexico indicates this. They will. l..probably
manage this by the Supreme Court Of
chihuahua, reversing the decision OF the
lower court at Paso del Norte and order
ing the release of the prisoner. Then would
come Cuttings claim for heavy damages.

intimation as IL sufficient pledge for the
present, but the Parneltes appear to
be determined to press for de-
tails in which event lengthy
discussion will ensue. As soon as the a1-
dress has been adopted the Government
will moye that supply bills have prece-
