THE FAMILY H8___H A STORT.
All the members of the FicW famUy who rouM bc
found yeaterday derlared most emphatically that the
report about Edward M. Held robblng hla fathcr's
prtvate box wa* al.solutely Nlsc. They say that tiie
lasaoe son did not rob his father of a dollar, and any
MeoriUeB he may hnve serured were frcely given to
_1_. And the statement that Cyrus W. Field ls
pennllCBs they regard as absurd, aa Mr. Field's flnances
were never In such a londltion. that lie ronM bc
-mfced by the extravagance ol any one man without
_t iDimedlaie knowlcdgc.
-The Ktory about my brother robblng my fathcr's
prlvate box of Bl tho seruritles lt contalned ls abso
lately ftib-*," said Cyrus W. Field, Jr., yesterday.
?Tbe story ,s vs untrue as It ls unklnd. Surely, our
Blifurttuies ***** been multiplied enough without
baring any more added. I talkcd wiUi my father to
Ut for a ?hort time, and 1 cau assure everybi.dy who
vb_e_ to know that my bruther dld not takc any
aeiurlties from any prlvate box _o ftar at. wc know.
He tertalnly 8*1 Ui>t takc any from my fathcr's prlvate
_o_."
(m_ra w. fif.i_d nutM of it.
Dr. Mathew Field. a nephew of GSTM W. Field. ^ho
was at the Cramercy Park hOOM yesterday, also de
Bied that there was any truth ln tlie story about the
rob-ing ol the prlvate box. *
"I hnve talked wlth several members of the famlly
wbo are in a posltlon to know sometWug about Mr.
Flel.'. affalr.,'' said he, "and they all unite In saylng
tlu.t tliere is not a word of truUi ln the charge. As
Mr. Field was much better to-day, or rather well
tDough to SWraraa Wllh members of bis famlly for
a short time, the alleged prlvate-box story was men
tloned to him in a dellcatc way. It was lcarned dl
rertly from him that whenevcr F^lward got any se
ntritics from him they were handed to him. and at
do time has Edward been in possefcslon of the key t_i
his prlvate t<ix. I doubt lf Mr. Fleld has such a
thlnr as a nnvntc box. unless lt ls ln his safe. and
th* combn iitioii I* probal.ly unknown to Edward."

Tarlor's Hotel, Ifl Jaraay City. wTTe.e he wa^. attending
to aone privato buslncss. When asked to throw B80M
Dr. on the 'peratlons of the flrm and the losses sus
talaed, he _ud that his personal losses amounted to
8350,000. BaaMafl that amon.it. he had d.-poslted ln

K. E. Dletz, on whose sult for the recovery of 800,
000 worth of pledgcd securltics ihe attachm.nts and
?Bara of anest for the members of tho flrm wcro
issutd, was met by a IB>0*8a* ju-t ns he was lcuving
tho oflice of la* couri-el, Frodcrick A. Waid. He said :

The rcporter then saw Mr. Ward, Mr. Dietz's counsel,
and told Juni what sherllt Oor man hnd said, Uiat Uie
order* for arre.t liad been s.ayed on the applicaUan
of the plalntitr. Mr. Ward said that he had heanl

"lt is a reason.

"To answer that would be to bctray tlie confldenco

WHAT TUE CERTIFICATE SAYS.
Dr. Fitch says ln Uie certUlcatc that when ho
c-aiuinexl Mr. Held, on Decembei 1, the paticut suid:
?? 1 don't know where I ani. I dou't remembcr when
I saw my wlfe _<>t. I dou't remc.mber when I saw
my brother luat. I am ln constant fear ot bodily
inuiii from my encmiea, who I think mc comlug here
to inke me down to Uic Forty-second-st. depot and
throw me under the traln. 1 belleve they want to
h?ig me. They would do lt it tJiey could. I havo
no frienda left, exeept my wlfe, fitther tuid my brother.
1 thluk Uic guaid uu^l.t to be doublcd here to protoc-t
me. I kuow they want to kill me." Aa to his ap
pcarance and inunner tho phykiclang wiy : ?? He waa
very emotloiuil, lauglilnv und crylng altcrnately." Ho
was ?? liuoherent and lrruUonul ln his conver_.tlon and
deniMMBOT." At times ho would usk, - Do they lu

want to live ?flf longer; I want to die.1" IIu was
?? h.vsteilcal and MBBlflOBl, but wlt.ul extrcun-ly de?
pressed and nieancholy." Dr. Cm?laa L. Llndley, of
No. N Mudl-.ni ave.. who has ?000*1 Mr. lield for
Mftoen yaOOOi says ln the certitlcate: "1 have ob
served a change ln his ilemeiiuoi- und cl?.racter grad

The certitlcate was *worn to ou December 1, before
Judge McAdum, aud the commltment to Vernon House
wa*. slgiied by Uie Judge on tbo same late.
Itefore glvlng Uu- commllnietit papers to the re

"That letter,*' said Dr. Grangor, '-was handed to
me by the rt-porter of u morning paper, and as It ia
slgnt-d b] tfefl Judge who mmmlttcd Mr. Fleld to my
cai-e. I consider that I aai bound to grant hts requrst."
Aa to Mr. Field's oondlttoa and conduct yesterday,
he Ridd : ?? He slept well last night, but he has cuten
very little to-day, and ls very weak, lrritable and ex
cl table. HLs pulse ls very weak and he beems ln u
ita_- il condltiuii. I consi'der that hts mental cu_11.
tiou has bet-ii hrought Hlx.ut bv want of slcep and
proi>cr food, iind prindp-llJf by mentul worry. I hnve
no hesitatlon lo 001-01 iie Is sulierlug witjh OOOtfl

and r_renil treatment hc will iccover. No rfcferenco
to his baaloe-fl troabka wU1 bc permittcd. afid no ono
will tw allowed to see him exrept his physiclan nnd
flflflOO. He has a large, rheerful room. fjnd does not
appear to be troubled by the fact that Ba ls ln an

and spciit most of the day altcrnatcly luugliins nnd
crvlng. I do not know that hc has ever attempted
suldde, ns is atebod lu one of the mornlng papers,
but Iro ha-. b-oaoteoed lt. and it will be necessary. as
ln all rasos of thls klnd, to keep ? efeMfl watch over
him. A aotoo ls iu cojiatajit acte?loaoo with him,
as is the case with all my pntlents."
ML FlTCK'S STATEMEXT.
"I slgned thc medlcal certlflcato of Innaey In tho
case of Edward M. Fleld," said Dr. Fitch yesterday,
"and lf the man were not out of his mlnd I never
ihorfB have placed my name to such a docuimmt 1
-tudled his case fullv and am convlncod that he ls
Insnne. I expect to he placed on Uie sland before long
ti testifv in the case aiid will give my cxpert tosU
inonv at that tlmc I'ntll then I sliall not be at
llberty to give a s.icnttfic analysis of Ws case."
ATTEMl'TED TO JCMP FROM A. V.INDOW.
Dr. IllglBBOM frankly admitted Uiut Edwnrd
Held ha<l attemptcd to tako Mfl own life
-1 do not regard Mr. Ficld's case as hopelcas," said
the doetor, ''but it will be somo tlmo before ho re

CYRCS W. FIELD'K C'ONDITION.
There wns not much change ln Uie eondltlon of
(^yrus W. Fleld yesterday, and Dr. Kugene Fullcr,
the nttending phy-ician, frankrj- admitted thnt hts
pntletit waa not out of danger. Hc does not think,
however, that there is uny lnimediute danger of <1<ath.
-Tho ehaaoea for blo reoovory are niu.h R-ttcr thnn
auything to the contrary.'' he said, '-and wo hope to
see Jlr. Field out of bed in three or four days from
now. He is rcsting quietly, and ls well enough 00
OOBTaMO at times wlth members of the family."
In the moruing the doetor lssued a bulletin which
sj,id. Umt Mr. Eield had slept better the night before
than at any tirne previous fltoco his illness began, and
that his condltion had Improved. In the evenlng tho
doctor's report Baid that Mr. Field had spent a qulet
dav, nnd that no clmnge for the worte had tuken place.
Another member of the family was added to the
stck 11st yesterday. WJien a Tribune rcporter called
at David Dudley Field's house at No. 22 firnmerry
I"ark, tho scrvant wlio answered the bell said that
Mr. Field was 111 In bed and could not be seen.
"I have strict orders not to permit anybody even
to send cards up to him," ?ud the glrl. " Ho ls In
bed and asleep at thls nximent and could not bc du
turbed und.-r uny clrcumstances."
At No. 128 East Twcnty-flrst-st lt was lenrned from
members of the family that David Dudley Field hud
woried c.n-l.lerablv about hts brother's mlsfortunes
and that was the Cflaaa of his illness. Dr. Juneway
who ls attending liim, suys there ls noUnng alarming

thau usual to tho west of the Rocky Mountalns, tho ex
cess a.ioi.iilUig to about threo degreea, excopt ln SouMi

Tho low ine.ui tcnipcratuie of tho tnonth was largoly

froiu the UM la tho 18th, and the other was pasulng oiT
the Atlantic Coast at the elo*e of tlie month. Hoth of
theso cold wavca were attended by unusually cold 088*888
for the perlod, produolng l___pa_B_B-B from on* to two de
grocs lowcr than ever previously recorded for thls season
of tho year, and carried tho froat line southward over
Northern Florlda, with t(**a_M w.wUier at tho close of the
month. The advance of the . cold vraves was announced
by slfinals from twenty-fdur to tliirty-alx houra beforehand
and ample warnlng glven to Oie frult and sugar aeeUons

Precipltatlon.?During the month of November the pre.

valleys, in the lake reglon and tho Dokouw, while lt was
less than usual ou t*e AUautic and Faelflo coasto. aod

plotoly broken over the winter wheat i-egloa, and ln
MlMlsalppi and We-tern Alabama, where the preolpltv

from two to threo Inches more than the usunl amoi.nt.
ln New-Kngland and New-Tork tho preclpltatlon for tho

one Inch less than the normal amoi.nt for November. Thls
