AN ATTAoHmENT SERVED
Upon Ex-President Hoey for Over Half a
Million Dollars.


New YORK, October 16.-Judge Pat
terson, of the Supreme Court, to-day,
upon the application of Henry Sanford.
President of the Adams Express Com
pany, granted an attachment against
the property of John Hoey, the deposed
President Of the company, in suit to
recover half million dollars.
The attachment is granted on the
ground of non-residence. Mr.. Hoey is
at his home in New Jersey. The at
tachment was at once handed to Deputy
Sheriff Strauss. 1t was secured upon
the affidavit Of Frederick Lovejoy, the
present Vice President OF the Adams
Express Company. The summons at
tached announces to Mr.. Hoey that II
he defaults in appearing to answer the
suit, Judgment will be taken against
him for $712, ,950,57 with interest and
costs.
Mr.. Lovejoy, in his affidavit, recites
the history of the company, which Is a
Joint stock association, and says thai
Mr.. Hoey was appointed manager OF the
company on January Z, 1870, and has
ever since continued to act and is now
acting as such. Mr.. Hoye's elevation to
the trusteeship, vice presidency and
presidency is then referred to.
1t is alleged that prior TO March 20,
1882. Mr.. Hoey, either individually OF
with other persons, acquired an inter
est in the business of the New York
and Boston Despatch Company, the
Kingsley Express Company, and the
the Tuli value at t6St ft1Sg t%ge loF S1S;Oyo =
est PurcnaSad o.. JnaG same uay DC
sold and transferred this interest to the
Adams Express Company for $3.50, 900,
and in his official capacity caused this
sum to be transferred to himself and
others out of the funds of the Express
Company. and in so doing appropriated
S2T6, ,905 out OF the $350,000 to his own
use and that Of others, in fraud OF
rights of the Adams Express Company,
and in violation Of his duties as an Off
Ger and trustee.
This sum has been wholly lost to the
Adams Express Company. Mr.. Love
JOY continues that prior to March IL,
1888, Mr.. Hoey, either individually, or
with others, acquired the remaining
interest in the three specified companies
for $50, 900 which was its full value at
that time. On March 10, 1883, Mr..
Hoey sold it to the Adams Express Com
pany for 100000 paying that sum to
himself and others while acting in an
official capacity, thus appropriating
S420, 900 of the S50O,00 to his own 'use,
and that of others, in fraud or the
rights OF the Adams Express Company.
For these reasons it is alleged that there
is now due the Adams Express Company
from the defendant the sum of 1886, ,000
Sheriff's deputies served the attach
ment upon officers of the Southern Ex-
press Company, the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company and the Adams Express
Company. Hoey had no stock in the
Adams, and at the offices Of the other
two concerns it was not known that he
had any property there. John Hoey
could not be found, and the sheriffs
were not able to serve the summons
upon him.

He Has Good Crowd and DevoteS Huch
Time to Soldiers and Silver.
EATON, o., October 16.-Major Nc
Kinley addressed an enthusiastic audi
ence of several thousand people in an
open air meeting her to. day. He spoke
of the immense consequences of the COM
ing election in Ohio and its effect on
national issues. There were many old
soldiers In the audience and he spoke
of the effect upon them of deprecated
silver currency.
1.-THE men of opulence," said Mr.. Nc
Kinley, ''are no longer the principal
creditors of the Government, but the
soldiers. In 1857, the creditors Of the
Government were the men of wealth.
They drew from it S147, 900 every
year in interest on the bonds they held,
while the old soldiers drew from the
public treasury as pensions $50. 600, 900.
To-day the conditions are reversed
The pensions amount to $685. and
the soldiers should see to it that no
party be put in power which shall de-
preeiate the purchasing power Of. those
dollars. We paid the bond-hoders In
gold; in dollars worth 100 cents, and
who shall say that the old soldiers shall
not be paid in as good coin?
He went from here to speak at Spring

CLEVELAND. O., October 16.-Gov.
Camobelps campaign through the Dem
cratic counties of the northwest is uh-
precedented in the history OF politics OF
this section of the State. Before MS
appearance on the scene the Democratic
leaders feared there would be q loss VI
votes on account of the Third party.
His meetings were all held in coun-
ties where the Third party were sup
posed to be strongest, and the recep-
lions accorded the Governor have DIS
PEELED all fears on that account.
After the meeting at st. Mary's last
night, the Governor and party TOOK
special train for Lima, and this morn
ing proceeded TO Bowling Green. the
county seat OF Wood county. The town
was most profusely decorated, the 6usi-
ness houses of Republicans as we'll as
Democrats being heavily decorated with
flags and bunting.
The private residences along the line
of march were also decorated In honor
of the Democratic standard bearer, and
fully 10. 900 people were about the stand
when the Governor began his speech.
The Governors handling OF the tariff
question to-day was mastery. In MS
speech at Ada, Major Mckinley had
told about the tariff the Canadian farmer
wouId have to pay when he took his
wheat to Buffalo, and asked his audi
ence to inquire of the Canadian farmer
wo paid the tax. The Governor
showed by the report OF the Repuilcan
collectors of customs at Buffalo that laSt
wear but three bushels OF Canadian
wheat entered that port for American
consumption, and that was used for
seed by American farmers who had TO
nav the increased cost caused by the
tariff.
sIf tho Major wants to know who
paid the tax in this case, !" said the Gov
ernor, 'qet him go and hunt up the
American farmer who purchased this
seed wheat from his Canadian neigh
bor."
The Governors description OF the
American and Canadian farmers was one
of the brightest bits OF sarcasm ever
heard on the stump. His farmer audi
tors laughed until the big tears ran
down their cheeks and there were
many ludicrous references to Jim
my's" manner Of "gstting thar" AS
suming serious tone the Governor
admonlshed his auditors that they
must not become too hilarious, as 1t dis

| On the Governors arrival in the city
he was met at the station by band and
several Democratic clubs. The night
meeting was held in Memorial Hall, and
the immense structure was fairly
packed with voters.
At the conclusion OF his speech he
received large number Of Democrats
and Republicans at his room in the
hotel Among those to congratulate
Governor Campbell on his speech was
Hon. Frank Hurd. He was highly
pleased and later in the evening had the
Governor for his guest at his club.

JOSIE MANSFIELD MARRIED.
The Woman Who Induced Ed. Stokes to
XIII Jim Fisk Welded.


LONDON, October 16.-Mrs. Lawlor,
formerly Miss Josie Mansfield, we'll
known in New York twenty years ago,
was married last Friday at st. Georges
Church, Hanover Square, to Mr.. Robert
L. Reade, OF New York. Mr.. Lawlor,
brother Of Lady Falkland, his mother
and three members Of the brides fam
lily were present. The couple are spend
ing the honeymoon at Brighton.
1t is not fair even to guess at Mrs.
Robert L. Reade's age. She Is as charm
ing to-day as she was when she ensnared
the gallant Colonel Jim Fisk, Jr., NOR Q
than a score Of years ago. At that time
her smart carriages, her gorgeous dia-
monds and her fetching gowns, all the
gifts Of Erie's King, were the talk OF
the city. Her fame went abroad, too.
Her name was as well known In every
backwoods hamlet as John l.. Sullivan's
is to-day. Bonnets and gowns and q
certain mode Of dressing the hair were
named for her.
Then Josie Mansfield and Jim Fisk
quarrelled and parted. The King OF
Erie was jealous because his handsome
friend and ex-partner, Ned Stokes, was
too attentive to Josie and spent too
many days and nights in the house Jim
Flsk's money had furnished for her.
Then came chickering's, a threat OF pub
fishing all of FIsk's letters and tele-
grams to Josie, an Injunction by which
Fisk prevented Stokes from publishing
them or any Of them, and finally the
shooting Of Fisk by Stokes on the main
stairway of the Grand Central Hotel on
Broadway.
