London, June 8.-A receiving order in
bankruptcy has been issued against Mr..
Ernest 7. Hooley, for years prominent as
the biggest company promoter in this
country, prominently interested in
bicycle, land and bovril concerns, and
who was supposed to be a multi million

have cleared sl2, 500, 900 by that deal

the promotion of the Bovril company and
with many bicycle companies. 1t is

of the present year Mr.. Hooley purchased
the racing cutter Britannia, formerly tn q
property of the Prince of Wales, from
John Lawson johnson. During 1895 he
purchased the schooner yacht verena from
the Earl of Londsdale. MIR. Hooley is a
member of number OF yacht clubs.
For months past inanciers have pre-
dioted that Mr.. Hooley was in deep water.
The markets were not affected by the
downfall of Mr. Hooley, as the news of
the receiving order, while it caused a
sensation, was not unexpected in the best
quarters. 1t will be the second and third

ST. GATHERINGS HALL.
To the Editor of the Press:

Pending fuller answer to your extract
from the Kennebec Journal relating to
st. GATHERINGS Hall, Augusta, desire
to correct immediately 1.-The following
statement in that extract:
SAT that time the mortgage on the
building was held by James H MoMul-
Ian of Portland, and when he found that
the debt was gradually increasing he
foreclosed and the school was shut up. - !. .
In justice to one who was for many
years the most generous and constant sup
porter of the school this statement should
not be allowed to remain uncontradicted.
The school was necessarily closed by
the trustees themselves without any com.
pulsion from the holder of the mortgage
and it was not till several years after
that the deed of the property Was made
over to Mr.. MCMILLAN by the trustees in
settlement for an Indebtedness to him
which was more than double the amount
received by him for the property.
Yours faithfully,
O. MORTON STILLS.
