HoEYS SETTLEMENT.
The Express Company Realizes Abb
100000 on It's Claims.

The Express Company Realizes About
100000 on It's Claims.
New York, Dec. 21.-It has just come
to light upon what basis the settlement be-
tween the Adams Express Company and
John Hoey, she ex-president, was effected.
The amount which will probably be realized
on the property and stocks transferred by
Hoey is $500, 900. This falls far short Of
the amount which the Adams Express
Company claim was misappropriated, and
is the reason why the officials of the COM
pany were so anxious to keep
the settlement quiet. 1.-THE settle
all that any one could be made to say until
Tonight. AS it will be remembered, Mr..
Lovejoy, vice president of the Adams Ex-
press Company, left the city last Thursday
morning. Where he was going he refused
to say, butit transpires that he went to
New Jersey TO see about small lot OF real
estate owned by Hoey on the Jersey coast.
and which he offered to put Ia settlement
Lovejoy got back to the city Friday evens
ing and went Immediately to the mansion
of Hoey, on Twenty-eighth street, and then,
under her own roof, Mrs. Hoey decided the
city property and the piece on the Jersey
coast TO Henry Sanford for tie Adams Ex-
press Company. In addition to this Hoey
turned over about $4,000 In stocks.
THE HOLLYWOOD PROPERTY.
His Hollywood property Is now all he
owns, and the express company holds q
mortgage for S100, 900 on that. This i1for-
nation comes from one of the lawyers in
the case and is correct. There were present
at the settlement Messrs. Lovejoy, Sanford
and the counsel for the company, MIR. and
Mrs. Hoey and their attorneys. The gen
tlernan who gives this information was
shown a newspaper clipping purporting to
be an interview with President Sanford, in
which he Is made to say that HOey decided
to the company everything he possessed.
including the Hollywood property. BE SAYS:
"Ithink it best say nothing en- the subject
but if my name is not to be used, will say
that l did not believe that President San
ford is quoted correctly, for he would not
be likely to say that the settlement in
cludes the Hollywood property, as it does
not. The matter Is nov settled. and all the
business between Hoey and the company Is
sestlad. Now les us drop the matter"

secretary W. II. Bates resignation was
accepted and q L. Bedford was elected 10
the position.
DR.. r. G.. D. Goodwin, commissioner Of
agriculture Of the state, was called upoa 60
address the meeting on the subject OF de-
creasing the acreage of cotton growing In
the south. He thought that tho greatest
obstruction to an effort to effect reduction
of the acreage of cotton was the tendency
10 stem it in the sonth. He is Of the opinion
that 5000, 600 bales Of cotton raised annu-
ally are equal to the present demand, and
be thought that it might bring
more money than 5000, 900 or 1900. 600
aow bring. He had heard il suggested that
no attempt of this character would succeed.
because selfish interests would defeat ie.
Some planters would increase their acreage
and take advantage of others. He was of
the opinion that the farmers, in order to
succeed, would have to raise the necessaries
of life In addition to their cotton.
THE MORTGAGE SYSTEM.
Or. Goodwin thought the mortgage system
q most pernicious one, and Ia many cases
ruinous to the farmer.
DR.. A. f. Mckinney was OF the opinion
that the cotton acreage should be decreased.
The difficulty Is not so much that too much
cotton is raised, but that not enough of
other products.
H. L. Bedford thought that one difficulty
that stood in the way of reducing the acre
age was that negro labor would be largely
affected by it, and much of It would be left
unemployed by 1t, and the county could not
stand this. It would tend to anarchy. He
did not see any fields for negro labor beyond
cotton planting
Col Casey Young addressed the meeting
at some length. He pointed out in his
usual graphic style the barriers to success
full farming.
A resolution was passed indorsing the
Memphis AppeGt-AudLGnche in its fight
against alleged manipulations Of the cotton
market by New Orleans and New York
bears, and siding with the farmers.
The convention adjourned sine die.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Tailor Holle Made Lots of Trouble for
2Iis Wife.

TAILOR hOiit 1AatG Lots % AIOuDic IDf
aIis Wife.
On the afternoon of June 10 there was
considerable excitement at the Red Star
steamship docks over the TRANCE disap-
pearance of a man named Leo HOLE. A
woman who said she was Mrs. HOLE, and
who had two children with her,
claimed to be the missing rams
wife. She said they came
from Newark where her husband
had kept a tailor shop. Business not
having thrived with them they concluded
TO 20 home 10 Antwerp. Hole took his
wife to the dock and put them on the
steamer. Then he disappeared. his
wife concluded that he had fallen into
the river aud search was made. but no
trace of the missing man could be found.
Mrs. Hole and the cbiicren sailed In the
vessel.
Chapter 2 Of the mystery is even greater.
When Antwerp WAS reached the woman
and her two children were taken into Gus
tody by the police, a cablegram having
been sent by her husband that she had
run away with his v~aiuables. She was
kept at the Antwerp prison several weeks
until a letter and money reached there
from her husband. saying she was inno-
cent of any wrongdoing, n begging her
to come to America again. She obeyed
tie request at once.
Last Thursday. as has already been
stated in The NEWS. Mrs. Hole reached
Hoboken With her two children, but the
husband was not there to welcome her.
Having no money. she notified the Hobo
ken police, who sent her To the Leo House
in New York, where she stayed until
Wednesday Afternoon. Then she went 10
Newark, having been Informed in some
way that her husband had returned to
that city.
After searching the city without any
success the roma went TO the house of
a friend, ut Is Sayre street. Yesterday
she appeared at the Fourth precinct with
her lwo children, and informed the police.
who are investigating tue matter. Ii is
generally believed that another woman is
mixed MP in the affair, and that when
Hole sent for his wife he and the other
woman took passage for Germany.
