 Cleveland, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Chadwick's s first day in the county jail was busy one for her. She received several visits from her attorneys, held long confer ences with them, conversed with news paper men and for fifteen minutes stood face to with with President Beckwith. of the Oberlin bank, who has come to such great trouble through his financial transactions with her.
 The meeting was dramatic. The aged banker, who had been for hours before the county grand jury, went to the jail this afternoon and asked if he might see Mrs Chadwick. Sheriff Bar " readily consented and Mrs. Chad wick was eager to meet him. Accom- panied by Mrs. Beckwith, who, owing to her husbands ill-health, is always by his side, the aged banker made his way slowly and feebly up the long flight of iron stairs leading to Mrs. Chad wick's cell She met him at the en- trance of the corridor and shook hands with him cordially. After some gem eral conversation MT. Beckwith referred to their business relations by saying: Mrs. Chadwick, you have ruined me, but I'm not so sure yet you are a fraud. ! have stood by you to my last dollar, and do think now that the time has come for you to make known every thing in relation to this thing.
 Mr. RaalyuYifhsc sun}an 1,afra ved dpaY1 emotion as he spoke, and he leaned heavily on the arm of his wife, who was almost compelled to support him, so great was his physical weakness. Mrs. Chadwick did not reply directly to the words of MT. BeckWith, but her manner and the look on her face were not conciliatory Seeing that she would not answer, MT. Beckwith went on: 1T have always told you that I did not like 1t because you changed your lawyers so often. Why don't you get a good one and stick to hirn?"
 Well" said Mrs. Chadwick in reply, T have reasons for that.
 Have you heard from Judge Olcott recently?" was Mir. Beckwith's next question.
 T Mrs. Chadwick's reply.
 "Ias he changed his mind ?''
 NO, he has the same belief that he always held"
 To what matter the questions refer red was not known. MT. and Mrs. Beckwith then both said they hoped the matters connected with the Chad- wick affair would eventually be strengthened out. The interview then closed, Mrs Chadwick thanked them for calling, shook hands with Mir. and Mrs. Beckwith and said she would be pleased to have them call again.
 There is a possibility that the hear ing in the Chadwick case may be re- stunned tomorrow morning in the bank ruptcy court, and that she will be sum moned as a witness, although the prob abilities are that the hearing will go over until Saturday, and possibly until Monday.
 An application for an additional re- cefver for the Chadwick estate was made in the common pleas, court this afternoon by the Savings Bank Deposit and Trust company, of Elyria, O., which has brought suit against Mrs. Chadwick on two notes of $25,000 and $10,00O, re spectively.

Dawley, one of the leading criminal lawyers of Cleveland Sheldon Q. Kerruish will assist Mir. Dawley. Mr Kerruish said this afternoon: Tt is very difficult to know what is best to do for Mrs Chad wick. She says one thing and little later will give totally different yer sion of the same matter Until we have succeeded in getting her affairs straightned out 1t will be difficult to say what we will do.''
