a FAvoRlTE SON.

Cyrus W. Field the Victim OF Filial Tngrat.
itude = The Wreck Migrate Son
Caused.
New YORK, Dec s-Edward NJ. Field,
who wrecked the firm of Field. Lindley,
Wischers & Co., and who has stripped
his father, Cyrus w. Field. of all his
observation-disclosures and lands and Sc
curities-and upon whose life there is
to the Sun of to-day. attem pied suicide.
In what manner he sought to destroy
himself is not mentioned in the paper.
He was committed yesterday to Vernon
house. Mount Vernon, as a dangerous
man.
Edward NJ. Field not only robbed
and deceived his partners and the GUS
toners of the firm, but according to
Herald of to-day, he misled and robbed
absolute ruin.
Cyrus w. Field, who was ~ years old
Monday, has been reduced to poverty.
He has been completely ruined by his
unprateful son. II am poor as the day
l came into the world" said Cyrus w.
Field yesterday morning to an old
friend who had called to see him in his
double affection. Then the whole
dreadful story came out-recitals show
ing such revolving filial ingratitude as
to be almost incredible.
Edward was always his fathers IA
vorite son. His father had always adv
vised him and assisted him in his bust
ness and tried to insure his prosperity
And SO when Edward came to his
father, not many years ago. and told
him that he aud his firm were threat
ened with ruin and that he himself was
in danger of disgrace, Mr.. Field at once
offered to help him.
Edward did not tell his father the
whole miserable story-how he had
systematically deceived his partners
and used the money intrussed to the
firm. He did not tell his father that
his house was wrecked and ruined be-
yond help, nor did he tell him of his
own dishonest doings He appears
merely to have disclosed enough to
arouse the sympathy of his generous
father and to work upon his pity suf-
ficiently to get his offer of help.
Cyrus w. Field led to suppose that
comparatively moderate sum would
save his sons firm and that the use of
his securities would enable them to
borrow money enough to tide over the
disastrous results of unfortunate but
not criminal speculations, gave his son
the key OF his strong box at the safe
deposit vault and told him to help him
self to what he needed to carry his firm
through the period of storm and stress.
At this time, Mrs. Cyrus w. Field,
the beloved wife of the stricken man
and the mother of the favorite son, was
i'll with the mortal disease which was
soon to carry her off. Mr.. Field was
almost Frustrated with grief and in
this new trouble he scarcely knew
what he did. But he gave his son the
key of his strong box, where all his Sc
curities were. and told him to take
what he wished Edward Field al
ready held his fathers power of at
torney, so that he was authorized to
sign for his father.
Instead of taking only a part OF the
stock and bonds belonging to his IA
Their. Edward took every paper. He
emptied the box. 1t was the act, it is
charitable to suppose. of a mailman.
Any sane man would have known that
it was like pouring wafer into sieve
to try and save Field, Lindley, Wis
cheers & Co.

Witnesses NIssinQ.

OMAHA, Neh, Dec. 3.-The charges
that the Missouri Pacific and b. & NJ.
railroads had violated the interstate
commerce law, whica were to be
investigated by the federal grand
jury, seem to have fallen short
of the mark on account of the
failure or inability of the officials con-
nected with the United States court
and the commerce commission to pro-
duce the necessary witnesses, and it
has been decided by District Attorney
Baker and Mr.. Kretschmer, special
agent for the commerce commission, to
indefinitely postpone the hearing Of
the evidence.

which leaves New York at p. M,
came along at laundering speed and
before the engineer could stop the
train it crashed into a Croton local
standing on the track in front of the
station of the New York Central at this
place The collision was terrific and
those who witnessed the accident ex-

said to the other:
''Jim, think he means us kindly"
"Yes, think he do"

That's it."
Whereas, if he tells us to move on

MADE A GOOD HAUL.
The Frisco Train Robbers Secured "a Lar
sum of Money.

The Frisco Train Robbers Secured 81 Largo
Sum of Money.
ST. LOUIS, Dec 3.-Facts in regard
to the express robbery make it appear
that the robbers were evidently in
formed as to the value of the contents
of the express safe before the train
left the St Louis station. The through
train to San Francisco, which carries
the bulk of the money to the coast, is
the one which robbers, generally in
formed on the subject would naturally
select rather than the slow train which
was robbed.
The safe Of the express company
was completely riiled and although
yesterday Superintendent Damsell
placed the loss in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, it is now known that the safe
contained far more than that amount
Superintendent Damsell refuses to con-
firm or deny the story that the total
loss reaches 1000, but admits that it
exceeded the amount he first gave out
as the company's loss
The officials of the road are endeavor-
ing to discover why the train, through
one, left the station thirty minutes late.
