ALL FRAUD DENIED.
Reply or the Commercial Alliance to the
Beneficial Endowment Association.


beneficial Endowment Association.
The Commercial Alliance Life Insur-
ance Co. wants the building and other prop
erty at 4le Tenth street northwest. Its
receiver, William T Gilbert, yesterday
filed an answer to the suit OF the Washing
ton Beneficial Endowment Association,
filed last fall. 1t says that the charter of
the Commercial Alliance was annulIed
and the corporation dissolved and Nir.
Gilbert appointed general receiver about
January I0last. 1t denies any negotiations
referred To in the complainant's bill, ex-
cept such as are set forth in the contract
and denies that the property at No 419
Tenth street is worth $50 900, and SAYS
it is worth only S22 ,00o
The sum of $4,000, it is stated, was
paid, and policies of insurance in the
Commercial Alliance Were rendered to
certificate holders OF the Was hington
company, and were accepted by some. 1t
is denied that the Commercial Alliance
promised 20 hold the real estate in trust
for certificate holders, that beneficiaries'
claims have become vested rights and
constitute a lien upon the real estate. All
allegations Of fraudulent practices and
misrepresentation in connection with the
purchase in August last are denied 1t is
claimed that valuable consideration was
given by the Commercial Alliance for
the Tenth street building, and denied that
this consideration has failed. 1t is pointed
out that the complainant does not offer to
return the money paid. Mr.. Gilbert makes
these statements upon information and
not Of his own knowledge.

CARLISLE DID NOT DO IT.
Denial OF the Report That He Caused the
Government to Lose 100000.

Government TO Lose 100000.
1t has been pensistenily stated in finan-
cial circles that the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving had prepared plates and printed
500. 600 Of gold bonds in aEticipa-
ton of the passage Of some legislation py
Congress authorizing their issue. The report
was that this had been done underline direc-
ton Of Secretary Carlisle, and that, since
il was found that no such legislation could
be had. the bonds were secretly destroyed
The printing of such bonds would have
cost the government something about
S10O eco.
Chief johnson. Of the Bureau Of Printing
and Engraving, was seen with regard 60
the report, and he said that no plates for
gold bonds had been prepared, nor had any
bonds been printed except the per cent.
bonds which We're issued.
Chief Clerk Of the Treasury Logan car
Isle was also seen, and he said that he had
heard nothing of any such proceeding, and
that so far as he knew there was nothing
in the report.
Mr. Curtis, the Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, said that nothing of the sort
had been done, and that there was no reason
for such a COURSE OF procedure, for the gov
ernment always had plenty of time TO pre-
pare an issue Of bonds after they were au-
thoriZed He also said that the certifi-
Gates OF deposit issued by the government
to the purchasers OF bonds took the place
of those bonds until they were issued
Secretary Carlisle was sick at his resi-
dence and could not he seen, but his private
secretary. Mr. Van Lenden, said that there
was absolutely no truth in the report, and
that no gold bonds had been printed or
plates prepared for their printing.

NO GOLD IN GEORGETOWN.
West Enders Hopes Blasted by the Blast
ers for the Union Depot.

Another bright hope has been shattered
and Georgetown is not yet the Ell Dorado
Of the District of Columbia There are
many great things in Georgetown, but no
gold mime At least, if there be one, it
has not materialiZed as yet
All day long yesterday there were ru-
mors that gold had been discovered where
the Washington and Georgetown Rail-
road Company is blasting stone, prepar-
ing for the foundation of their new depot
opposite the Aqueduct Bridge. When The
Times reporter reached there yesterday,
il WAS found that the workmen had exca-
waited probably forty five feet before
any hard rock was reached. At that depth
they struck bed of hard rock, some fif-
teen feet deep and thirty or forty feet long.
a depth ofSiXty feet has now been reached
and about half of the stone removed, but
there has been no sign of gold
Many of the Georgetown people, how
ever, firmly believe that there is gold
somewhere in that vicinity, and they base
their belief on the fact that gold has been
found in Montgomery county, Md, only
about twelve miles distant, and also about
ten miles away in ano ther direction.
Georgetown may yet take on the frisky
airs ola Western mining camp.
