Brooks and Htedmau as senior and junior receivers ree|**tivoly, ae originally asked tor by Mr. Itobinson. It is learned that since Mr. Plunkett's departure investigation into the afTaiin of the •ilk company and the Union coinjMUiy has brought to light a large amiaint of |ia|N'r on which Mr. Harthelomew haii realised a large sum of money. What this tuoney ha* been iiswl for Is not at present known. Mr. Bartholomew aeoius to havu managtxl in all (torts of ways to raise m«»ney and it is *akl that his and Plunkett's outstanding jta|n«r will reach up into tlie millionx. Ho far as tan be $.'160,000 of Hartford nilk pa|ier, $JOO,OOO of Union (XiiniMUiy |ia|M>r, $&JO,OUO of Hchuyier Kloctric Light l*oni|inny, a conaiderable amount of Charter .

This (taper turns up in many different section* of the country (ouUide of Hartford), reports coming in from l-liiladelphia, New- York, llurton, Providence, Holyoke, New- Haven, Neir- Ixindon and other pla«xw. A iiire*'U»r, when asked what etfoct the defalcation woukl have ou the Charter Oak Company, said that it woukl completely wreck it "There is no money left to ita credit,n said the director, "ami all cady several drafts have been protA*ted." Mr. Bartholomew is president of the Hchuyier Klectric Light Company. H. K. Lustou, se<-retary of the company, said last night that the company was as sound as a dollar. He, however, admitted that tlie comjiauy would for some lime be presNtd for ready money. The employees of tiie oomjian v were paid yeatenlay —the regular pay day—and received only 40 rr «ent of their wagea. Mr. Bartholomew prvskh nt of the Watkinson Library, a trust of considerable magnitude, t»ut J. Hammond Trumbull, LLP , in an interview last night, aaki that he had no reason to tielieve Uiat anything was wrong in the management of the funds. A prominent director of the Charter Oak Couipauy said to a reporter last night that ihone who audited the accounts of the company had known for some tune that Mr. Bartholomew was indebted to it in large aniounta Charles K.

What effect Bartholomew's defalcation will ban on th* insurance interests ot this city cannot ba staled.

Tbe amount of his individual |i«|ier outstanding cannot at present be estimated, but it In largo. He is also an indorser on his mmi's pa|«r to a considerable amount. liefi.ro leaving the city Mr. Bartholomew resigned the presidency of the Holyoko Water Power Company, which ho hnj held for twenty Ave years. It Is now learned that Mr. Bartholomew rmwntly dispoeod of all bis stock in the Holyoke Water Coin|iaiiy. His trouble will iHit affect tho company. Mr. John B. Htebbins of H|irlngHeld, Mum. , was elected tem|Kirary preMdent of the company in Mr. Bartbolomew's place. Mr. Bartholomew was from Infis to INA7 a director of tho Chicago & Northwestern Hailroad Cornjany and has lieen I lite rented in various other roads. Hartford hanlu are supported to hold $.'lOO,llOO of bis individual paper. The total outstanding Is ilgured by some at 11,1**1,000. 11aktKtml), Conn., Hopt. !M.—Financial circle* are in a state of unrest due chiefly to the large amount of Bartholomew pa|ier which the ksal banks hold. A near as can be aai-urtalned the lianks hold over $1100,000 of his paper, some of which is secured. Tho Commercial National liank of Providence holds $15,000 and the Mecond National of tha same city $10,1**). Tbe amount will not affect tha standing of the I sinks, us most of them linve a surplus on hand sutllciunt to uioet any demand. Notwithstanding this, conHdenoe in their stability was shaken, and many depositors drew their money from the banks yesterilay. Figures vary as to the amount of pa|icr of tbe Holyoko Water l'ower Coin|«ny on which Mr. Bartholomew has realized. Tho best Hartford estimates place the amount at al>out $100,000. However it is a strong cor |Miratinn and with quite a surplus, so tliat the lists will not eniliarrass the company. John H HtehUns, senior director of the company, has been sleeted president for Mr. Bartholomew's unexpired term. ljwl evening Messrs. Brooks ami Stedman hail not succeeded in securing Ixinds for the full amount, $$fio,ooo each, but will probably do so by to-day. Mr. Bartholomew held $'.11,000 of the funils of the Hartford (Irphan Asylum In good securities Last Haturday be lianded to Daniel K. Howe, son of Mi's. Howe, treasurer of the institution, $20,000 in bonds. Mr. Howe took them. From oue or two statements touching other lute rents it is inferred that they wors the bonds of the Jacksonville. Tampa A Key West railroad, which were left in tho bantli of Mr. Bartholomew to be held till tho directors ordered them to be sold. If so Mr. Bartholomew took bettor cash assets and substituted the Florida bomls for the Orphan*, there lieing as yet no market value to th< Florida boiul*. Mr. Charles (X Demlng, treasurer ot th* railroad company, arrived in Hartford Wednesilay and took the bonds which hail been left with Mr. Bartholomew. He found that $40,000 of them are missing, and it is believed that the asylum has $ jO,(*JO of them, the other $.10,000 being put up as collateral Mr. Howe, wban seen last night, would neither deny or affirm this theory.

Nbw York, Sept. 27.—The committee of the Irish parliamentary fund and a itumher of gentleman interested in Ireland anil Ireland's welfare who, under the guidance of Patrick Font, were intituling to go down the liny to meet Justin McCarthy, were caught napping. Th« Hritannii' of the W bite Htar line, upon which Mr. McCarthy wis coming, mailt) a quicker [MSMtge than hail lieen expected. As a fact, one party had not adjourned Ave minutes from a meeting to make arrangements to meet the distinguished author when the news arrived that the vessel lin'l been sighted off Fire Island. Patrick Ford, Joseph J. O'Donohue, Morgan J. O'llrieu and one or two other* hurri.nl down to the liarge office and boardod a revenue cutter. They met Mr. McCarthy at qunrantine. He did not leave the steamer, however, and arrived in the city a little before 6 o'clock Saturday night. He thru hastened to the Holfinan House, where a suite of rooms had been set aside for him. Today the Parliamentary fund committee, consisting of Kugene Kelly, Miles M. O'Hrien, Jamea K Farrell, Matliew Leavy, James Coleman and Judge Hrowne, will formally visit Mr. McCarthy ami bid him welcome to the city and country. Mr. McCarthy has come to lecture a* well as to enjoy a trip to America, which he has not visited in ten yearn, tie wid remain in the United .States four months. He wishes to return to London to attend parliament, which meets early in February. Hi* first lecture will be given for the Is-nellt of the Charleston sufferers, at the Academy of Music, on (Jet. 4. His lectures will tio 011 literary subjects, the house of commons, and one or two on Ireland.Mr. McCarthy appeared in excellent health last evening. His face was ruddy and bmnxed a bit from the ocean voyago. His beard, which covers much of his fw-e, and bis hair are streaked with gray. His voyage, lie said, was a pleasant one. He hail occupied himself part ot the time in writing u novel in conjunction with Mrs. CainplieU-l'raed, who has come over to see the country. The novel will be known as "The I/ulios' Gallery," and is of a political and Mxial nature. A former work In which Mr. McCarthy and Mrs. I'racd were engaged was "The Right Honorable. " In regard to home rule and the situation of affairs in Ireland, Mr. McCarthy said: WI do not think there is the smallest doubt tliat we shall have the principle of home rule for Ireland within two years. Tlie people iu Ireland feel that this is touting. They know the victory will come, and they have the patience to wait quietly for it aud to expect it They have seen its growth, and now they see it within their reach; they will not let it (lip through any lack of patience on their part I think that home rule will tie settled before the land qnseUou. An Irish parliament is likely to take up the land question." As regards Matthew Arnold's views ou the matter, Mr. McCarthy said that Mr. Arnold was much beloved in Kngland. He was a gifted ptiet, a charming writer anil polished ewayist, but wheA he vruluied into |>olittcs Ihs.pit' siniUL His aophiMits were regarded as unique sometimes and it was thought he gavo them out for that reason. Of Mr. Uladstone, Mr. McCarthy said that physicians thought he had years of activity yet before him. 4a.tin McCarthy. HENRY GEORGE FOR MAYOR.

Thore is nothing in the rule* which allow* them to deviate from the order* of the dispatcher. If a train is delayed and cannot carry out Its order*, it is the duty of tlie train men simply to protect tha train.

In case a flag is sent west from a diaabled freight train, a* in the case of train No. 41, the duty of the flagman Is to go far enough west of the switch at which tbo trains mast to protect bis own train. Thu flagman of train No. 41 did is it exceed his duty in going aa far aa the Humrait The fact of the flagman going to the Hummlt and there delivering the instruction* to the conductor and engineer of the excursion train did not give the latter the right to run beyond Milvsr Creek whan they bad a poaitive meet and pass order for that point. It waa the duty of the conductor of the broken down train to report at onca to the nearest telegraph station and communicate with headquarter*.
