A dispatch from Cincinnati received yesterday
announced that County Prosecuting Attorney
William II. Pugh, Deputy Sheriff Zumstcin ana
Secret Service Officer Ryan started last night ior
New-YorlS, armed with requistion papers Tor the
arrest of Henry s. Ives, George H. Stayner ana II"
Wilson Woodruff, the principal officers OF the Cih-
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, who were
recently indicted in Ohio. II is not probable that
tho persons who are in request at CINCINNATI Will
be found here. Mr.. Ives went on fshlng ex-
cursion as soon he heard that an Indictment was
threatened, and Mr. Stayner started for his country
house, in Connecticut, with mental reservation
apparently that he might go to some point IN
Massachusetts,. Mr.. Woodruff is said not to have
been in town for two months.
There is little doubt that the Ives-Stayner gang
should be put In confinement to break stone, so TO
speak, for the benefit Of the State. As officers OF
the railroad company and members of the firm OF
H. s. Ives & Co., they used their position for their
own benefit. The complaint in the new
proceedings is supposed to be similar
to that on which Ives was arrested
in December of last year, when he was imprisoned
in the Tombs. The general charge was grand
larceny, bat in that instance it was specified That
Ives received draft of 100000 to be used in
partial payment for the Terrc Haute Railroad
The particular draft one of a series Tor the
purchase Of the property but it was diverted, ac-
cording the allegations in the suit, to the per-
sonal use of the firm The basis Of the present
suit Is supposed to be the fraudulent issue oil
bonds of the Dayton, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad The company had directed that tho
bonds should be cancelled destroyed, but in
fact Ives G. Co. obtained possession Of the bonds
from the trustees under the mortgage, and, as
the fiscal agents of the companies, used them for
the benefit of the firm.
That some of the operations Of Ives q 20.
have not brought the firm TO greater grief has
been matter of surprise IN Wall Street. lt has
been thought in some quarters that Ives ought
to suffer the fate of Ferdinand Ward, and some
persons in Wall Street have expressed the opinion
that Ives had escaped justice. ~
At the house of Mr. Stayner, No 333 CLINTON,
ave, Brooklyn, a TRIBUNE reporter was informed
last night that Mr. Stayner and all the family
were out of town. but Just where the servant could
not say She added that Mr.. Stayner left home
last Friday and she could not tell how long IL
would be before he would return. None OF the
ncighbors had seen Mr. Stayner about for several
days but they surmised that he had gone to New
London Conn where he has country mousse
Mr. Ives lives in pretentiOus brownstone house
at No. 1876 Joralcmonst, ana he mas perlecO
level of discretion in the person OF coored ser
vant whom he has left in charge OF the house.
He said that Mr. Ives left home "a week or
so ago. with a party OF gen'aellen, ean;i
lie believed that they he'd gone hunting or iishlng
or something, but just where he had no ldca. ne
was equally at sea as to when Mr.. Ives would
ttrn home
