Bad Charges Against a Corporation President, Now Eesigned. TWO COMPANIES ARE MIXED UP. Mr. Andrews Accused of Eunning-One for the Other's Benefit. LITIGATION FOE $3,000,000 TO ENSUE New YORK, Nor. 24. "Wallace C. An drews, President of the New York Steam Company, and until lately President of the Standard Gas Light Company, is likely to be involved in a lawsuit with the latter com pany as to the validity of certain stock amounting to about $3,000,000, which it is alleged Mr. Andrews obtained illegally from the company while he was its Pres ident. Mr. Andrews resigned ihe Presidency of the Standard Gas Light Company two or three weeks ago, and J. A. Bostwick was elected in his stead. It is said that had not Mr. Andrews resigned when he did he would have been expelled from that office bv vote of the directors. Immediately after the resignation of Mr. Andrews and the election of Mr. Bostwick an injunction was j,-sued on the application of the company to restrain Mr. Andrews from selling or other wise disposing of certain of the company's stock then in his possession. The company also issued the following notice: Question having arisen a to the validity t cei tain common stock of this company, the Jlo-ml of Dnectors thereof have this day voted to close the books for the transfer of common stock pending an examination and until tiie further order of the board. The Charge Against Andrews. It is chareed that $1,000,000 of the 53,000, 000 of the Gas Light Company's stock which Mr. Audrcws obtained from the company fraudulently, as charged, is held by the New York Steam Company, of which Mr. Andrews is President, and which he is believed to control. In addition to this proceeding, it is said another action has been instituted against Mr. Andrews to re co er a block of the Gas Light Company's preferred stock owned by Mr. Andrews, and for an accounting of certain disbursements b him as President of the company. "in tills sui. it is charged that Mr. An drews has subordinated the interests of the Gas Light Company to those of his Steam Heating Company; that many of the poor in cements of the latter have been charged to the former, that the unproductive prop erties of the Steam Heating Company have been unloaded on the Gas Light Company, and that these and other things Mr. Andrews was able to do through the "dummy" direc tors in the Gas Light Companys elected through his influence. J. A. Bostwick, the new President of the Standard Gas Light Company, was seen at his home this morning, and spoke very freely. He said: "I have been connected with the company from its beginning, but my vote was alwrys in the minority, and I gave up attending the directors meetings. Finally some of their notes were protested. Ottered to Fay the Company Debts. "To protect myself and those who had gone into the concern on account of my name, I offered to assume all debts of the company until its affairs could be straight ened out. "Mr. Andrews, whose scheme! had far outrcached his capital, had made contracts w hich he could not keep. As a result I paid out nearly $500,000 in 30 days. Much against my advice, there was $5,000,003 worth of stock issued, which was given to Andrews and others for distribution. I had supposed that at least half of this amount was held in trust for the company's treasury. "When the new directors were elected it was discovered that much of this stock has been sold for insufficient compen sation, and that the rest was held by three persons or their estates. "It is absurd to say that any of this stock is unaccounted for. We know where every share is and for how much it was sold. Theie has been nothing surreptitious about it. "We simply think these gentlemen sold the stock for much less than it was worth. This stock, in its present state, is tainted, and to protect the public we have issued the notice closing our bookB for the transfer of this common stock. Protecting Prospective Stock Purchasers. It is possible that Mr. Andrews or any of the others might sell the shares, v, hen the buyer would suffer as much as ourselves. There is no question that Mr. Andrews had complete control of both the Gas Light and Steam Companies, but the charge that he transferred useless real estate from the steam company to the gas company is not fair to him. At the time he transferred the property he unquestionably intended put ting up gas plants on it." The Board of Directors of the Standard Gas Light Company met here to-day. The Secretary said some action had been taken relath e to the trouble between ex-Presideni Andrews and the board, but refused to say wh3t it was. Ex-President Andrews was present, and when seen alter the meeting, he claimed that none but routine business had been transacted. A Narrow Escape.

Two Things In Regard to Catarrh. 1st, It is a Constitutional Disease; and 2d, It Requires a Con stitutional Remedy. These -two facts are now so well known to the medical fraternity that local applica tions, lite snuffs and inhalants, are re garded as at best likely to give only tempo rary relief. To effect a permanent cure of catarrh requires a constltntional remedy HVte Hood's sarsaparilla, which, by purifying tbo blood, repairing diseased tissues and im parting healthy tone to the affected organs, docs give thorough and lasting cure. "I want to say for the benefit of suffering humanity, that Hood's Sarsaparilla is A Permanent Cure for Catarrh. After suffering with catarrh in my head for a number of ears, and using every obtain able remedy, I was requested to take . Hood's Sarsaparilla. I did so, and after uslne three or fonrbottles 1 am cured. P. IS. Stout, bherid&n, In a. Gossip rrom-Daniel O'Day. Daniel O'Day, of the Standard Oil Com pany, returned to New York last evening. He said the company had invested a great deal of money around Pittsburg, and that he had to come here occasionally to see how the business was going. The Standard can now handle 80,000 barrels per day in the pipe lines frrm the McDonald field. The question now is whether it ought to be in creased or not. Mr. O'Day says the output was keening up wonderfully well, but it may drop to 20,000 barrels when least ex pected. He remarked that the Pittsburg people have no idea of the natural re sources all about them. He thinks there is still plenty of gas, but he doesn't believe this fuel was ever intended for the indus tries. It is all right for domestic purposes. He langhedat the newspaper stories printed about the movements of the Standard man agers, and he declared their business was not any more secret than the affairs of other companies. Made 8190,000 In Three Tears. S. S. Marvin, with his wife and son, went over to New York last evening to eat Thanksgiving turkey with his father-in-law. He talked at some length about Exposition affairs and particularly the management. Mr. Marvin said he regarded Mr. Johnson as the best manager in the country, and the financial men in the com pany would not allow him to be replaced. He added that Mr. Johnson would be re elected and he had consented to stay. Mr. Marvin claims that all the noise has been made by people who have little at stake in the enterprise. In the last three years he says the Exposition has made $196,000 of a Erofit. Last year was not up to the mark, ut he said thev couldn't always expect a a big, or even the average season. He has faith in the future of the Exposition, and there is no danger of the exhibition being discontinued.
