In view Of the publication Of the above,
q reporter yesterday called upon Mr..
Arthur Mayo and Mr.. Lewis w. Brander.
who acted as Mr. Thomas W. Brander's
friends in his recent controversy with the
Messrs Carr and they said that they, as
well as their principal, were in. hope that
the matter had been dropped, but since
the publication Of yesterday evening they
considered that, in justice TO themselves
and Mr.. Brander they should make
known the facts in the case.
Mr. Mayo was at the Jefferson Hotel,
he said when he was advised by Mr..
Brander that he had just had some words
with Mr.. ID. j. Carr. and that they had
agreed to meet at Forest Hill Park at
10 o'clock Sunday morning. and asked
that he should represent him in the mat
ter. which he consented 10 do. lie was
approached a little later by Mr.. Cars
friends. who desired him TO change the
date Of the meeting. but Mr.. Mayo re-
piled that while the date that had been
fixed by Mr.. Carr and Mr.. Brander did
not suit him exactly. since that date
had been agreed upon he was not willing
that there should be any change and
his last words TO them werr that he and
his principal would be at the park at the
hour named. They were there as agreed,
said he. but Mr.. Carr and his friends did
not put I'm their appearances, and they
concluded that the matter had ended.
