GEORGE /. WEYER IN JAIL.
Accused of Fraud by Mount Ver-
non Carpenters.
He Is Locked Up In Default of
$4,000 Bail.

George II. Weyer, a real estate dealer
of this city. was arrested late yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Wagering,
and IL default OF Sc, 800 bail was lodged
in ludlow Street Jail on an order
signed by Justice Dykman. OF the Su-
preme Court in WestChester County.
The compliments against Weyer
are Sabine Gunrino and Pasqualia
Carfaugus. carpenters and builders. of
Mount Vernon. who charge him with
fraudulent misrepresentation in maxi
ing a contract with them.
The trouble according TO the af'idn-
Wits, resulted from n contract the car
penters made to build six houses for
Weyer at Columbus avenue and Sixth
street. Mount Vernon, for 81, Coz.
The Complainants nllege Weyer was
insolvent when he made the contract
and represented that he was wealthy.
They state that he assured them that
he owned the lots on which the houses
were TO be erected and seventeen lots
adjoining. and that there was only a
mortgage OF 81, 900 on the whole
on these representations. the plain
tins allege. they erected the houses and
furnished much of the material. They
claim that they have since discovered
that when Weyer obtained title to the
property II was subject TO Il mortgage
OF $l2, 900. and in October preceding the
making OF the contracts with the plain
tiffs that Weyer executed another mort
gage OF the property for 5000, and In
a few months after the contract Weyer
placed another mortgage OF N.4Oo on the
property.
The plaintiffs allege that Weyer has
only paid them on account $3.50. and
that there Is still due them 81, 100, for
which they bring suit.

BIG GOLD SHIPMENTS.
TO-MOrrow's Steamers VIII Garry
Out ~ 900, 900,

There is no let-up in the export move
ment of gold. and as the Sub-Treasury
here is supplying the demands of ship
pers, the Treasury reserve is steadily
d~windling down to the $780, O0.O 900 mark.
This Is the only feature of the move
mcnt that eNCitcs attention, as II re-
wives discussion about the possibility Of
another Government loan.
Had the drain to Europe come at a
tim when the home demand for money
was large. the effect in Wall street
would have been decidedly ~unfavorable,
but, as the local market Is glutted with
funds. the financial community CON
Germs Itself mainly with the Treasury
matter just alluded to.
The engagements thus far reported
for to-morrow's steamers follow:

Thalman & Co, 100000 and Hoskier.
Wood G. Co., $500. 900. n total OF 81, 100. OOo.
Some bankers profess to believe that
the foreign demand IL about satisfied.
but there Is more or less conjecture
about this, and everything depends upon
the amount of bills that viii be made

ties during the next couple of weeks.
