Money.
SENSATIONAL ADMISSIONS
Samuel A. Unyluril, Senior Member of
the lionkrupt Concern, Admits the
Crookedness 01 Ills Lute Firm's
Ways.
St. Louis, July 1(5.?Sensational admissions
have boon made on the stand
by Samuel A. Gavlord, senior member
of the lirm of Gavlord, Blessing & Co.,
which failed recently. Mr. Gaylord,
who is one of tho oldest stock brokers
in the city, admitted at the hearing before
bankruptcy Referee Comes that
the firm had been practically insolvent
for two years and has been doing business
on other people's money?on funds
secured from local cu.-toiners. Deals
wherein no stock ever changed hnnds,
being merely a matter of bookkeeping
in which the firm never forgot to charge
up commissions, margins and interest,
were admitted by Mr. Gaylord,who also
told of the employment of relatives'
names and the use of an insane man's
name in the accounts.
At the time of the failure thoy were
short $150,000,000 bonds lace value, aud
of 5,000 shares of stocks iu New York.
It is admitted bv the witness that the
failure was due to their own speculation,
by which they had hoped to win
and pay otf their indebtedness, estimated
to have been something near
$.100,000. As to the missing collateral,
left with the linn's customers, attached
to promissory notes, Mr. (Jruylord admitted
that all had been hypothecated
with the banks as security for lonus to
the firm. There was no apparent desire
to conceal anything of the iuvolved
transactions of the firm ou Mr. Graylord's
part and the revelations he made
were the more astonishing to the creditors
assembled, because of the confidence
and trust lor many years reposed
iu Mr. Gaylord.

CHARLESTON NAVY YARD.
Plant Have Bean .Completed and Work
Will (toon Begin.
Charleston, July 16.?A special diepatch
from Washington states that the
special board, under Hear Admiral Taylor,
had completed the plaus for the
navy yard at Charleston. This is very
interesting and important news for this
city and state, and now it cannot be
very long before active work is begun at
Chioora on the dock and yard. The
formal transfer of the property is not
yet completed, but there is uo reason to
believe that auy nitcli whatsoever can
occur. Everything desired by the navy
department, except the actual handing
over of the deeds, has been accomplished.
Tho United States will have a very
desirable piece of property when tha
transaction is finally concluded, and, as ^
fur us can be learned, will make ex- ^
celleut use of it. While the plans for
the navy yard are with the navy deC&rtmeut
and all of their details ars net
"own, it is generally understood that
the first design in connection with this
station has been very much changed,
ultrl
?~ ,unv me uavy vara will be made
one of first imi>ortaiice. There is already
a considerable amount of money
available for the beginning of work and
this will be added to overy year by congress
until the work is completed.
