HOEY'S SUCCESSOR
Henry Sanford Now President
 of the Adams Express Go.
THE CORPORATION IS SOLVENT.
Frederick LovejOy of New York Made
 Vice President in Spooner's Place

Public Statement to be Made by the Company-The Deposed Officers will Not be Prosecuted Criminally-Hoey's Remarkable Career--Connected With the Company for Over 40 Years-- His Unique Home at Hollywood, N. J.--His Eecentricity of Dress.
 NEW YORK, Oct 14-Wall street is fairly sizzling over the disclosures made yesterday in the cases of President Hoey and Vice. President Spooner, the deposed officers of the Adams Express Com pany.
 At meeting of the directors yester- day afternoon Henry Sanford, of Bridge port, Conn.,, who has been largely in strumental in ferreting out the charges against MT. Hoey and MT. Spooner, was elected president in place of MT. Hoey, and Frederick Lovejoy, of this city, was chosen vice president in place of Clapp Spooner.
 President Hoey had been with the company for 40 years; and for three years had been it's president. Vice-President Spooner had also been with the com pany for many years. He is million aire and lives in Bridgeport, Conn. So far as the public knew, there had never been a shadow of suspicion against the management of the Adams Express Company, which has long been regarded as one of the most powerful and best managed corporations in existence.
 The alleged malfeasance in office for which President Hoey was removed and Vice President Spooner allowed to re- sign was the sale by the two officers and others of the Boston Despatch Express Company and also of the Kinsley EX- press Company to the Adams Express Company for $500, 900.
 Of this amount $200, 900 is said to have been the actual value of the property tran nsferred, and the other $500, 900 was profit which, it is alleged, was divided among the men who made the deal President Hoey's share of the profits, il is said, was $110, 900.
 He is also charged with making the purchase of the property of the two mi nor companies against the advice and without the consent of the manager and directors of the Adams Express Com pany.
 The dethroned officers will not be pro secuted criminally, but the company vii bring civil action against them to re cover the money they received as profit on the alleged deal

His Home at Hollywood.

Just after the war MT. Hoey went to Holly wood, which lies just west of Long Branch, and built himself plain, sub stantial house there. At Hollywood he enjoyed his leisure hours, and was never so happy as when roaming around the place looking after the flowers and plants. Although he had been a poor | boy, with no educational advantages, MT. Hoey soon developed into landscape | gardener and architect whose work was | well worth seeing
 | In 1879 he sold his house in New York and made Hollywood his permanent home. As soon as he did so MT. Hoey put into practice what had been his dream for years, the project of turning | Hollywood into the most beautiful park | along the coast. For the time being his greenhouses were neglected, and he de- voted himself to drawing designs for a dozen houses. When they were com | pleted, it was the unanimous opinion | that they were finer than any others in New Jersey, but people wondered. where | the money came from. E An army of men was working there all through ons sum- mer, laying out roads, grading, etc., and 1t Is said by those in a position to know | that his expenses frequently reached $1, 900 day.
 It was wh tt he claimed it to be, the most unique place in America. Every summer he introduced some original | feature. For example, five seasons ago he kept the cottages open all winter. A swimming tank was built 300 yards from the and supplied with fresh sea wa ter thr ugh pipes. In addition to this he had sun parlors, supplied with di- vans. Turkish rugs, md all the accesso- ries that could be thought of that would tend to make life pleasant.
 It was a matter of remark at Holly wood that the worst dressed and most disreputable man about the place was the owner of all this magnifcence. He was frequently taken for g servant, but never resented 1t: only smiling grimly
 and passing on. MT. Hoey's family con I gists of three sons and daughter, the latter being .thp wife of Charles R. Hone

HOey's History.

John Hoey was born in Ireland sixty six years ago, and came to this country when but 8 small boy. He knocked about New York for several years, and when a newsboy conceived the bright idea of adding to his sales by rowing out to the steamers before they landed.
 His enterprise attracted the attention of William B. Dinsmore who was then in charge of the New York office of the Adams Express. Alvin Adams, of Bos- ton, had started the concern two years before and their only line ran from Boston to New York.
 Hoey was employed as porter at the princely compensation of $1. 50 per week
 Gradually, as the time passed on, Hoey came steadily to the front: He ran @ branch of his own from Washing ton south, which he called Hoey's Charleston Express. This was consoli dated with the Adams Company in 1854 and MT. Hoey received 8 number O shares of stock and the post of genera manager in the company.
 Adams, Dinsmore, Sanford and HoeJ remained cordial friends and bushes: associates from that time on. Hoey i: the only one now living, the others hay ing died in harness. Adams was tht first president of the company, and con l tinued so until his death in 1857, whe Dinsmore, the vice-president, succeeded him, Sanford coming on from Washing ton to take Dinsmore's place. Sanford died in 1882, and MT. Hoey was choser in his stead, becoming president in 1888 @ month after the death of MT. Dins | more.
 The name of John Hoey will alway be associated with that of two enter prises, the Adams Express Company an Hollywood. Both of these he has see grow to great proportions.

sible for them to fancy any one else
in a hurry They all take plenty of
time in going through life, and they
seem to run the hotels and all institu-
tions on just that plan. In one house,
[ asked for a glass of water, and it was
fully a half hour before it was brought
me, and that in a ocalled first class
house. But 1 dare say if had order
ed something in that water, it would
have come quickly enough. The wa
ter in London tastes to me as though
it was full of chalk or fine mud. How
often have I longed for refreshing
draught from old Vermont.
Day before yesterday, I took a
drive of fourteen miles between the
cities of Newport and Cardiff, South
Wales. Cardiff, by the way, is the
largest city in Wales, and the castle of
Butte is there. Lord Butte, who is may
or of the city, was celebrating his
birthday, ,and consequently everything
presented a very gay appearance.
Among other pleasant sights to me,
were three large flags of the "Stars
and Stripes" floating bravely in the
breeze, Notwithstanding they were SO
surrounded and overwhelmed in num-
bers by the flags of other nations; and
really, I felt more glad to see the q.
S. colors than I ever did in my life
before. I never realized much about
home and native country, till I got SO
far away from it. But now when. I
see the 'EStars and Stripes" I am fully
in sympathy with those old familiar
lines:

Washington, D. c., Oct ~, 1891.
The distinguished Methodists from
all parts of the world who make up
the Ecumenical Conference of that
church, which is now in session here,
are enjoying the freedom, of the Ma
tional Capital, and our people are vie
ing each other to entertain them hand

Every day it becomes more appar
ent that next years encampment of
the G. A. r. is to be the largest and
grandest in the history of that organ
ization. The local committee in charge
of the preparation are already hard at
work, fully determined that every
pledge made at Detroit shall be more
than redeemed. Any question as to
accommodation or anything else con-
nected with the encampment will be
cheerfully and promptly answered
by Harrison Dingman, the secretary
of the committee.
Ex-senator Blair whose resignation
as minister to China has been accept
of another appointment of equal prom
inence and will at once return to New
Hampshire and devote his time to
the practice of law. The total number
of pensions granted during the month
! of September was 27644, and the
average first payment in each case
was S147.3 80. That comes pretty close
to the 10000 case that Commissioner
Raum has set as a monthly task for
the Office.

''I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and tempted hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

And [ feel quite as patriotic as the
proverbial ''small boy" on the glorious
Fourth.
The castles of the nobility seem very
much smaller to me than [ had fancied
them to be from reading Of them in
books. Perhaps [ had expected too
much. If they were all like the Tower
Of London, they would be like any
previously conceived idea of them.
But as most of them are, they appear
far less grand than what most strang-
ers expect to find them. One thing
which can not fail to impress strang-
er who makes any stay in Wales, is
the quantity and quality Of the
mutton which is grown here. 1t
is much smaller than that which is
grownin England, and much sweeter to
eat. Truly, two things they give you to
eat in Wales, mutton cooked in any
form, and Welsh fowl, are exceedingly
satisfactory.
The Welsh language is a peculiar
one. 1t is very open, having very few

the open vowels. In many respects it
is not unlike the Italian. 1t is a very
ancient language, much of it being
formed from a derivation of the old
Sanscrit 1t is not taught in any of
the Welsh schools of to-day.
The Welsh are something like the
Scotch people in feature. They have
wellmarked eyebrows, high cheek
bones, prominent nose, firm jaw, a
long upper lip-which they are sure
to inform you is a sign of intelligence,
and not remarkably small heads.
They impress me as being a very ''stur-
dy'' race of people. They do not av-
erage very tall, in fact [ feel very tall
beside most of the Welsh women.
They are bright and intelligent, and
can appreciate a joke much better
than their Scotch ne1ghbors. They
are earnest and Industrious and have
great respect for the church and the
clergy. [ like them very much as
people and have made some very de-
lightful acquaintances among them.
I shall always look back with fond
remembrance to many happy hours
and pleasant scenes in Wales and
among Welsh people. And as time
turns the wheel of life for me, bring
ing me into many and more varied
scenes, [ shall have many a delightful
day dream of the time spent within
her borders.
