Big Failure.
New YoRK, Nov. 3a.-Tkere was no ma
terial change in the aspect Of affairs at the
Office OF the suspended firm OF Field, Lind
ley, Weichers g. Co. this morning. Assignee
Gould said that personally he knew nothing
Of the truth or falsity Of the published re-
ports Of the alleged crooked" transactions
of Mr.. Field. The statement. however, that
he had given any such information to a
reporter, as was stated, was untrue. He
was trying to get at the facts, but as yet
had learned little.
CAN FIND NO ASSETS.
He had sought for assets, but was unable
to get even enough TO pay the clerks. There
was no bank account whatever and only a
faint hope remained with him that there
might be some call loans belonging to the
firm upon which be might be able TO realize
| something to defray the necessary ex-
penses. a report was published that
a warrant for the arrest Of Z. N. Field had
beed placed in the hands OF inspector
Byrnes, and that be had detectives watch
ing Mr.. Fl Ids b luse. Tue inspector to-
day positively denied that there was any
truth IN either Of these statements.
INNOCENT HOLDERS.
A number of innocent holders of Union
Pacific ock disposed Of by the firm held
meeting this morning at the ofiee of a
prominent Wall street broker and drafted
petition to the committee on securities of
the stock exchange, requesting them to
rescind their &C ion making the stock nom
deliverable. The interests Of the
Union Pacific have been placed in
the bands of A. n. Holmes. Mr..
Holmes realized that it would be impossible
for the Union Pacific to regain possession of
the bonds That had fallen into the hands If
innocent holders and requested the COM
mittee on securities to release such bonds
from their order Of Saturday. Upon
his order this WAS done and
the stock can now be handled on
! the exchange. There still remains a goodly
number of bonds, the ownership Of which
will likely have to be settled in court.
Cyrus w. Field is still very much pros
trated.
