BosToN, September 16.-Somewhat
sensational rumors were heard to-day as
to the magnitude Of the deficits ofBrown,
Stccsc & Clarke, and the failure ofthe ex-
amining committee to fund offsets ap-
preaching in any degree the amounts
raised ON notes. President Wcnton
Lewis, of the Manufacturers bank, who
is member of the committee engaged i'll
the examination of the accounts, says:
81 don't see any advantage in publish
ing the affairs in picccmeals, because, it
parties should think they find any such a
complexion of accounts at this stage,
they may he entirely changed by some
thing discovered later. don't say that
any such deficits have as yet been dis
covered. 1t is premature to base an opin-
ion on anything that has occurred thus
far. Affairs are complicated, he said, and
"it will he three or four weeks before we
can act on the report of expert account
ants. The amount of the firms notes for
which it was said that offsets could
not be found amounts to $l7,O0O,0OO.

steamer Wainui has brought to this port
the captain and crew of the British ship
Garston, Capt Davies, from Sydney, n.
5. W., for San Francisco, which found
cred in mid ocean. The shipwrecked sail
Ors were twenty-five days in an open
boat without food or water On the
twenty-sccond day the men, driven to
desperation by hunger and thirst, de
cided that one OF their number must be
sacrificed to save the lives of the others.
They were casting lots to see who should
be victims when they reached Wallis isl
and. Natives of the island assisted the
exhausted men to land and treated them
in the kndCst manner. A mission boat
took them to Tonga.
The latest adviccs from Samoa are that
Malietoa was quietly restored to power
and that he and Mataafa have gone to
the island of Manona, where they will
remain until the decisions of the Berlin
conference have been confirmed. The
German consul at Apia notified Tamasesc
that Germany was precluded from giving
support to any party on the island.

THI: A., A. II II. ROAD.
a Long Pull, A Strong Pull, and
a Pull AItOYetIler,

Captain Atkinson has just returned
from a visit to New York, to which city
he was drawn by very important mat
ters connected with the present and fu-
turc interests of Ashcvillc, chief of which
is the railroad project named above
a project SO vast as to be dismissed by
many as chimcIical; and yet to the eye
OF those accustomed to deal with large
matters, and to look sagaciousy into
the bearings Of great enterprises, do not
appear either impracticablc, vain UrproE
ltlcss. So that the scheme need not be dis
missed neither i'll contempt, imcrcdulity
or despair. Things much more unlikely,
and much less hopeful than this are now
active realities.
Asking Captain Atkinson what were
the results Of his visit, VIC obtained
answers which we give nearly in his own
language.
He says, he went to New York to meet
the representatives of construction
company from Boston and to confer
with them and arrange the contract for
building the Atlanta, Ashevilc & Balti-
more railroad. After a week 5 talk over
the matter, conclusions were reached
which will doubtless bc acceptable to the
A., A. and h. X. X. Co., and the con
struction company. No papers were
passed, but certain leading points
were agreed upon by Captain
Atkinson and those with whom he
was in conference, which will be submit.
ted to each Of the companies. 1t is
thought no difficulty will he experienced
in adjusting the matter. y meeting OF
the A., a. and B. company will he held in
this city i'll few days toput thcContract
in due form for the signatures Of the two
companies.
If all things 90 well, the survey will
commence within the rcXt two weeks,
when the question Of the counties sub
W Ill Dt Sul)IllllNNl u lllC IN'IllC.
No grading is to be done until the people
decide the matter of the counties sub
Scription. There is to be no stock taken
by the counties until he road is completed
through the county and the trains run
ming on regular schedule. AT the same
time the counties are to obligatc them
selves to take certain amount Of stock
when the road is thus complete. So if we
get nothing we pay nothing and can Ger
tainly afford to make the experiment.
To use the language Of Capt. A., which
we endorse and adopt, The road is OF
the greatest possible Importance to
Ashevillc and all Western North Carolina
and the people should rally to the propo-
sitiun."
We will give further data and iniorma
tion i'll Il few days.
