Careless Brokers.

1t Is amusing to watch how brokera
and bankers who pat their bonds and
stocks in their boxes in the vaults Of the
New York Stock Exchange overnight
close them. Some pull away at the han
die Of the lock as though they would
pull it off in their anxiety to make sure
that the box i5 locked, which action is
largely the result Of nervousness; others
take it very easy, give the handle one or
two turns and go of satisfied. One gen
tleman said 20 another down in the
vaults the other day: "a queer thing
happened some five years ago. noticed
that the door Of a certain box was on the
crack and its key sticking IL it. | inn-

New YORK. Nov. 1a.-There seems to be
| no limit to the number of suits against
John Hoey by the Adams express com
! paDy The latest one is to re-
! cover possession of SIOG0, coo worth
| of its stock of the Southern
| express company which, it is alleged, be-
| longs to the Adams express company but
which Hoey converted to his own
| use. The alleged facts on which the
| suit is brought show even a more
| remarkable state of affairs than
any yet disclosed in connection
with HOey's transaction as president of the
| Adams express company. Briefly, they are
these: As president of the Adams express
company Hoey concluded a traffic agree
ment with the Southern express company
and they paid Sl,000000 stock OF their com
pany for its revocation. The stock was
worth at its market price about 500, 0UO.
The stock was issued to Hoey for
the Adams express company but
he quietly appropriated it to
his own use, and actually paid OFF a mort
gage on his property at Long Branch
amounting to SljG.600 and some other obi
cations which were held by the Adams ex-
press company with the stolen stock. The
Adams express company had advanced him
money on the mortgage when ne was
It's vice-presldent. The total amount
he thus paid of was $40 46S. 56. and he paid
ern express stock to the Adams express
company at the market value. The Adams
express company row sues to have its
mortgage on Hoeys property restored.
other subsequent liens laid aside. and to
recover Sl,0U0,000 stock of the Southern
express company. a separate suit has been
begun against the Southern express COM
pany to have the shares in that company
which were appropriated by Hoey, declared
the property OF the Adams express com
pany. iniunctions have also been obtained
to prevent effect being given to the
transfers and deeds, etc, executed
by Hoey since he paid off the
mortgage on his property to the
Adams company. Henry Sanford, president
of the \ ans express company, said this
afternoon that successor had not yet been
elected TO fill the place Of manager, left
vacant by the resignation OF Hoey. San
ford said ''they had been too busy to attend
to that matter" he said he did not think
there would be any more suits against Hoey
like the one begun yesterday. There was
nothing further new in the affairs of the
company. He said to-day this last lawsuit
he thought was enough for one day.

The river. The country was very wild, and
there was no sign of road or trail through
the hills, and they were much surprised one
afternoon to come upon a well defined trail
leading into the billy country to the east OF
the creek. The trail had the appearance of
being well Travelled, and it was determined
to investigate, Next morning tn V made q,
circuit, and found that the trail was made
by the coming together of many small trails
which evidently came from all parts of the
territory, and were all pointed for the same
objective point.
This looked suspicious and the men pro-
ceeded very carefully along the trail keep
ing sharp lookout for signs OF men The
trail led deep into the mountainous coun-
try and terminated in what appeared to be
blind gulch. Tie men searched carefully
all around the gulcn and could find no rea-
son for the trail The sides OF the gulch
We're almost perpendicular and the rocks
We're so bare that it was impossible for any

another trail led off to the right. This was
followed and the party came to a natural cor
