w THE FIELD FIASCO, The Good Name of Cyrus TV. Field's Banker Son Under a Yery Dark Cloud. HIS ASSIGNEE ADMITS IT. He Believes, However, That theOtuer Members Are Innocent. THE UXION PACIFIC IS BITTEN. Only $500 in Good Assets IsThns Far Found in the Examination. WALL STEEET TAKES QUICK ACTION Xew York, Nov. 30. This afternoon it ws said that a careful estimate ot the net loss which will prohahly result from the failure of Field, Lipdley, Wiechers & Co. is about $800,000, of which $400,000 will jirohably fall on the Union Pacific Eailroad Company, and the balance scattering. As an offset to this loss there is the investment which the firm had made in the Cuban sugar refineries, which is estimated at $300, O00. Whatever is realized from this asset will lessen the loss first mentioned. The announcement that the Union Pa cific Company is ready to take up the bonds from present holders created a much better feeling in "Wall street Prank J. Sprague has obtained from Judge Lawrence, of the Supreme Court, a temporary injunction re straining Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co., Jl A. Hussey and others from disposing of certain stock of the Edison General Electric Company pending a suit for its recovery. Edward M. Field In an Asylum. The Iforta to-day says that Edward M. Tield, son ot Cyrus W. Field, and senior member of the firm was taken to the Bloom ingdale Insane Asylum on Saturday. The innuendoes and accusations of Wall street, the World says, are justined. The worst suspicions are mild compared with the black facts. Edward 5L Field not only rehypothecated railroad bonds placed with him as collateral, but he misappropriated large sums of money. He raised loans on worthless securities, deceived his partners and betrayed their implicit faith in him. Two thousand dollars in pewrcnts, turned over to him as trustee of the Tarrytown Presbyterian Church, is missing. He was Treasurer of the association which owns the Washington building, collected $35,000 in rents and sunk the money in his struggle to avert impending doom. Field ran a long race with the fates. It is no wonder that his intellect could not stand the strain. At a family conference to-day in the home of Cyrus" W. Field, tho situation in brief was found to be this: Edward M. Field's liabilities, to satisfy the claims of his creditors, would require Cyrus W. Field's entire fortune and considerably more. It was finallv decided, in view of the fact that even if Cyrus W. Field should sacrifice his entire fortune, he would not be able to meet the liabilities of his. son; that he should not make the sacrifice. The Injury "Will Be Widespread. The more the affairs of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co. are investigated, the more widespread seems to be the injury re sulting from the failure. It is now well known that several banks and a good many individuals well sutler to a greater or less extent by reason of their-holding securities hypothecated by Field & Co., which are almost worthless. The Would sa.ja the failure is due to the delay in the arrival of an ocean steamer. A big private deal, involving a .consolidation into one big corporation of all the large sugar plantations in Cuba, would have gone through if the vessel which bore the agent of the Cuban planters had arrived on time. 2Cearly $1,000,000 of the securities had been subscribed for and this would have given the firm plenty of money to get along on for some time. The information as to the manner in which the firm carried on their business was obtained from interviews with a cleric who was in the employ of the firm up to the last of August, and from talks with Assignee Gould. The firm was constantly short of funds. All the ready cash was used by Mr. Field in his various enterprises. Certain transactions show that his partners, Wiech ers and Lindley, were perfectly honest in all their dealings, and had no idea of the financial aberrations of L it Field. The Union Pacific Transactions. Regarding the transaction between the Union Pacific people and the firm, the lat ter loaned the Union Pacific $900,000 orig inally, taking as collateral bonds worth at par value ?l,C00,O00. The bonds to-dav are worth about $1,100,000. The Union Pacific people have taken up so far $200,000 of this loan, and to-day owe the firm some $700,000. The bonds are scattered everywhere, having been rehypothecated by the firm in lots to suit their convenience. The amount thus disposed of aggregates $500,000. By this method the firm made an average gain of 20 per cent. A number of innocent holders of the Union Pacific stock disposed of by the firm held a meeting this morning and drafted a petition to the Committee on Securities of the Stock Exchange, requesting them to re scind their action making the stock non dpliverable. The interests of the Union Pacific have been placed in the hands of A. H. Holmes, ilr. Holmes realized that it w ould be impossible for the Union Pacific to regain possession of bonds that had fallen into the hands of innocent holders, and re quested the Committee on Securities to re lease such bonds from their order of Satur day. Upon his order it was done, and the stock can now be handled on the Exchange. There still remains a good number of the bonds the ownership of which will likely have to be settled in court. Many Grnmblers on Wall Street. The action of the Stock Exchange in stopping delivery of the Union Pacific bonds was severely criticised on Wall street, and many seemed to think a bad precedent had been established. Air. Ely, the secretary, tried to make it plain to the tickers that the best thing had been done. He said that by the action of the Stock Exchange a speedy adjustment was effected, w hereas if the bonds had gone on changing hands lawsuits would have been the result, and the bonds would have become so scat tered that it would have been difficult to have found them. It was rumored that Daniel Lindley would be disciplined or expelled from the Ex change for selling the bonds on the floor, but the President says no such action could be taken without a formal complaint, and none has been made. S. V. White denies owing anything to Field, Lindley & Co., but, on the contrary, that firm is indebted to him. Assignee Gould admits that there has been crooked transactions, but attributes it all to Mr. Field, and says he is confident that his part ners knew nothing of it. He says Mr. Lindley could have handled all these bonds on the Stock Exchange withont knowing their history. Only S500 in Assets let Discovered. Mr. Lindley, on account of the serious ill ness of his wife, who is now at the point of death, went directly to the Stock Exchange from his home and did not go to his office for weeks at a time. Mr. Uould says that he has found only 5500 in assets, and there mav be 52.000 available which will be used in pavme clerks their salaries. He denied having had a conference with Cyrus W. Field with reference to helping his son, but thought he would naturally ,i i - . ult I "1 a iflEHEhfm r i'iif. iJi TfeJiiliiMiiMlMHfaifciwBJaB 1 come to his aid. Cvrus W. Field has trans ferred hi property consisting of two parcels on the Southeast corner ot Lexington ave nue and Twenty-first street in this c'ty to Isabella F. Juifson, of Irvington, N. X., for $120,000. DOUGHTY AGAIN IN COURT. He is Called as a Witness in the Ijiflerty Case Accused of Unduly Influencing the Old Man Doings of the Courts. The case of Margaret Ward and David Doughty ags.ir.st Edward Lafferty, is on trial before Judge McClnng. The case is a contest of the will of the late Harry Laffer ty, a contractor. The contestant is Edward Lafferty, a brother of the deceased, who alleges nndne influence. The beneficiaries under the will are Margaret Ward, who was housekeeper for Lafferty, and ex-Alderman Doughty. After the payment of the be quests to the housekeeper, the residne of the estate was given to .uougnty, who was appointed executor and trustee. Edward Lafferty alleges that Doughty, who wrote the will, and the housekeeper, who were friends, used un due influence, and that the will was made when Lafferty was intoxicated. Ex-Alderman Doughty, who is now serv ing n sentence in the workhonsc for con spiracy in connection with the Bauder gang, was brought into court to testify. He pre sented an appearance much improved to what it was at the time of his commitment. The ex-Alderman testified as to the making of the will, and that Lafferty was sober and no undue influence was used. The case is still on trial. M'MAHOH" WAHTS A NEW TRIAL Jliln Firing Sfijs Ills Beckless Actions Almost Indicated Murder. Judgo Ewing yesterday heard the argu ment for a new trial in the case of Thomas MeMnhon, convicted of murder in the sec ond degree. Attorney James Evans repre sented tbo prisoner, and argued that the facts as brought out by the evidence did not warrant a second degree verdict. If the prisoner was guilty of any crime it could not bo greater than involuntary man slaughter, as the testimony did not show anv e Idence of malice. Judge Ewine remarked that the case came very cloo to the line of second degree mur der. The reckless handling of fiiearms withont regard for human life catne very near the line that marks murder from man slaughter. District Attorney Burleigh argued lor the Commonwealth and contended that the verdict wrs a just one, and that the evi dence justified it. Judge lowing reserved his decision. THE LOVES THAT FAILED.

The Circuit Court handed down a decision to-day in the case of Robert Sherrard, Jr., versus the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Rail road Company, which will attract consider able attention because it grows ont of the con solidation of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St Louis Railroad Company with its lines west of Pittsburg in October, 1S89, forming the Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad Company. ,, Mr. Sherrard was a stockholder at that time, owning 2,027 shares, and declined to enter into a consolidation.

The railroad company took an appeal to the Common Pleas Court, and the issue was tried before a jury. The jury fixed the value at 565 per share. The Circuit Court was asked to grant a new trial, and the case was argued last week before Judges Woodbury, Frazier and Laubie. The case dwelt wholly with figures and accounts, and amounts ranged from $25,000 to $30,000,000. The court was asked to grant a new trial on the principal grounds of error in the admission of testimony of experts, error on charge of jury and excessive verdict A majority of the Court decided not to reverse the finding of the lower court, Judge Laubie dissenting. The railroad company will make an appeal to the Su preme Court Mr. Sherrard holds that his stock is worth $100 rer share, or $295,700.

A land suit involving the title to 900 acres near Mon terey, valued at 51,000,000, will be brought here early this week. In 1837 Marcelina Escober, who lived in the old Mexican settlement of Monterey, secured a grant of two leagues of land lying directly south of a town called Raucho San Jose y Chiqnita. His grant was approved in 1840. Soon afterward he started for Old Mexico, aban doning his wife and his two sons. The deserted wife waited one year, then pressed by poverty, she sold the Chiquita ranch to Senora Abrigo for 5250 in silver a small fortune in those days. The deed was signed by the wife and the two sons in the name of the husband and father. Escober returned later, and entered no protest against the sale. He died in 1848. At the time of the sale Colonel Jose Castro, who afterward drove Fremont from the Gabilan Mountains, was commander of the garrison of 25 soldiers at Monterey. He, so the present claimants allege, in duced his soldiers to pool their earnings, and they bought the Escober ranch from Senora Abrigo. Castro afterward bought the snares o: some oi tne soldiers, until finally he owned 17 shares out of the 25 shares. It is alleged that after the Ameri can conquest, when Castro was very poor, he sold the whole ranch to Joseph Semery and Abner S. Bassett, giving the deed for 5700. They subdivided the ranch, and sold the sections to about 200 small holders. The land is now estimated to be worth 51, 000,000. In 1887 the. present owners ob tained a United States patent to the prop erty, a precaution that had been overlooked. This, if uncontested for five years, would give them an undisputed title.

PONTIFICAL MASS IN THE MORNING St. Louis, Nov. 30. To-day the fiftieth anniversary of Archbishop Kenrick's con secration, the Golden Jubilee, was celebra ted with a pomp that has never before been witnessed, excepting on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of Leo XIIL , The grand pontifical mass commemorative of the Golden Jubilee began at 9 o'clock in the old Cathedral on "Walnut street. Pre ceding the mass there was an impressive procession from the Cathedral parish school to the main entrance of the Cathedral. His Grace reviewed his life in all its phases, re ligious, business and charitable. In con clusion, Archbishop Ryan said: "And now it remains for me, most rev erend father and most beloved friend, to wish you, above all things, sweet and holy peace during the evening of your day: and at the end may those whom you have been instrumental in saving for the last 50 years, receive your spirit at the gates of heavon and conduct it to the throne of the Shepherd and Bishop of onr souls." The Banquet at the Lindell Hotel. After the pontifical mass Archbishop Kenrick, Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and all the visiting Archbishops and priests were driven to the Lindell HoteL The Cardinal and Archbishop Kenrick marched arm in arm into the banquet hall, followed by the Archbishops.Bishops, mon signors and priests. Cardinal Gibbons opened with blessing, and after the menu was finished Vicar General Brady read to Archbishop Kenrick an address from the clergy of tne diocese. The venerable Arch bishop, deeply moved, arose and made a short but affecting response. Rev. Father Goller then made an address of welcome to Cardinal Gibbons and the visiting clergymen. Father Coffee, the toastmaster, then announced the first toast, which was responded to by Cardinal Gib bons. The toast was "Our Holy Father, Leo XIIL" The Cardinal said in part: The name of Leo XIII. will live in history. It will figure as the peer of his great name sake, Leo L, and the Grcgories and the In nocents who have reflected so much glory on the Church of God. Leo has proved him self not only a man of God, but also a man of the people. Catholicism at Home Everywhere. In his luminous encyclican on the consti tution of Christian States, our Holy Father proclaims the fundamental truth, that the Catholic religion is adapted to all times and all places, and that she llnds herself at homo under eveiy form of government. Nowhere does the church of God enjoy greater liber ty than here, and nowhere else does she advance with more rapid strides. And no where is thebenign authority ot the Pontiff more respected and honoiod than in these United States. In honoring the Pope, I hope we will not be suspected by unfriendly critics of man worship. We worship but one true God. We honor the Pope because be is worthy of all veneration. We revere him, not only for his personal virtues, but especially as the highest representative of Christ and the un compromising exponent and vindicator of our Christian civilization. In his latest encyclical on labor the Holv Father proclaims the lights and dignity of labor. He tells ns that Christ, by His teach ing and example, has enobled labor, and that ever since He toiled at His trade in Xazareth He has shed a halo around the workshop. In all his public utterances the Pope proves that he is abieast with tho times, and that he is in sympathy with the legitimate aspirations of humanity. The Pope's Interest In America. We are grateful to the Holy Father for his 'paternal interest in tho American Church. Wa are grateful to him for the affection he has always manifested toward the clergy and the people of the United States. We thank him for his message of benediction to the venerable metropolitan of St.Lonis on the occasion of his golden jubilee a patriarchlal prelate in whose honor we are assembled here this evening, and who is the connect ing link between the past and the present. We thank His Holiness especially for the token of esteem which he has sent to the venerable Dean of tlio Episcopate, and I esteem it a great honor to be deputed to pre sent it in the name of the Holy Father. And now, Most Reverend Archbishop, with heartfelt pleasure, I discharge my commis sion by handing you tho gift from the Pope. This gift is a portrait of His Holiness, in a handsome gold frame, brought from Rome by the Pope's chamberlain, Monsignor O'Breyen. Other toasts were responded to as follows: "The Catholic Church in the United States," by Most Rev. Archbishop M. A. Corrigan; "Our Country," by Rev. Joseph Grimmclsman, President of the St. Louis Jesuit University; "The Church in Louis iana," by Rev. Archbishop Janssens, of New Orleans; "The Province of St. Louis," by Bishop Hennessey, of Dubuque.

Wylie Avenno Boarding. House Mys tery. A little less than seven weeks ago James W. Shink, a youth scarce past his majority, came to Pittsburg from Harper's Ferry, "Va. He sought and obtained work in one of the many stalls in the public market, and was to all appearances one of the boys who was striving for that goal all good beings hope for success. He took up lodging at No, 96 Wylie avenue, where he- brought a trunk full of good, plain clothes, overcoat; and all the necessary wearing apparel one would need to fare winter with. He had evidently left a home whero the principles of Christian love and moral right were practiced, as among his effects were school books, sub stantial reading, and above all, a small hand Bible with the inscription on the fly leaf, "From mother, Christmas. 1887." Five weeks ago he left his lodgings in happy spirits and has not been seen since. The landlady, Mrs. Ludert, has inquired in vain for him about the market, not with any sp'rit which prompts a landlady to hunt a delinquent boarder, but in the hope of finding the young and unsophisticated stranger. He was about 21 years of age, of a quiet disposition, polite, smart, diligent and regular in his honrs for arising and retiring. His companions were few, and to those who had a slight acquaint ance with him, every more he made was of the exemplary kind. He did not drink nor did he run out nights. His only habit which savored of suspicion was his invet erate love for cigarettes. But this is neither here nor there. Where is he? His quondam friends and fellow-b'arders are anxious to know what has become of him. Not that they are personally inter ested in his welfare, but his abmpt and mysterious leave taking, with thc surround ing circumstances, have caused many opinions to be expressed among them more or less conjectural.
