MAJOR sOHN J. SAFELY
Arrested in New York on Account
 of a Clifton Mining Deal.

2NCW OEA Ou kACCUuHl |
 of a Clifton Mining Deal.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 24. - Major John J. Safely, of Lodi, Indiana, a personal friend of General Har- rison, was arrested at the Fifth avenue Hotel on Wednesday last, and spent that and the next night in Ludlow-street Jail. On Friday he was baiIed out. The complaint on which the order of arrest was issued set forth that on Aug ust 18th, 1882, Major Safely, the defendant, William Beard, the plaintiff, and George H. Sisson and Con. Burns entered into an agreement for the purpose of pro- curing bonds and contracts for the purchase of a tract of land and water rights on the San Francisco river in Arizona Territory, together with the Lone Pine group of cop per mines, that the parties were to be equal owners of the property, and that the profits were to be equally divided among the four owners. This property, the com plaint sets forth, was, for busin ess reasons, deeded to Safely, who was to hold it for the benefit of all the partners.
 The property was purchased be- fore January, 1883, for SS5,000 in bonds, and it is alleged was sold in Boston to one Michel H. Simp- son, for S1S5,000 in February 1883, the transaction being negotiated through s. M. Hamilton, of New York, who, It is said, paid over the proceeds to Safely. The com plainant alleged that $10O,000 was paid to the others as their shares, but that the plaintiff never re- ceived hls; that the plaintiff was in fact absent in Mexico at the time and was not notified of the sale until early in 1884, when he saw the defendant in Arlzona and was informed by him that the property had been sold, subject to inspection by experts, but that it had not been paid for.
 Beard alleges that Safely prom ised to notify hlm as soon as the money was received, but hearing subsequently, that it had been a cash transaction, an effort was made to find the Major, which, however, was not successful until July of last year. The complaint relates the efforts made by the board to collect the money, and affidavits set forth that Safely, on the occasion of an interview between the parties, ac- knowedged the debt and promised to settle, but failed to do SO Hence the suit and application for an order of arrest.
 The plaintiff is a mine superin- tendent and was at one time in charge of the Old Dominion Cop per Mining Company, at Globe, Arizona. The Major says he never promised to pay the plaintiff $25,- 900 or any other sum whatever, and denies that he is indebted to him in that or any other sum.
