Legal and finaneial circles have been agitated for several days by rumors of a scandal In which Magistrate B. B. Groves of Seventh and Shipley streets, appears as the central figure. The allegation made 1st hat the magis trate arranged for n loan of $1100 for Thomas MeGillin, who recently kept a saloon on King street, between Third and MeGillin wanted the Fourth streets, money to pay a merchandise bill. The magistrate, H is alleged, wont ti Albert A. Hambright who is employed in Conner's harness manufactory, at No arket street, Itorrowed tlie for tw 287 money months, At the ot an exten ic expiration of that time failed to pay the money.

McQlllin says that ho gave Magistrate droves the money to pay off *tho debt and satisfy the bond; and told him to get the bond from Hambright end return it to him. II«* got the magistrate'* reoolpa for the amount. This Magistrate Groves admits, hut claims that ho lost tin* money and did not say anything about it because ho thought he would recover It. This strange conduct is the principal feature of the case and the one that bus caused the rumors of fraud. A. A. Hum bright'« Rtatament. An Kvk eu Jot! No reporter found Mr H m tight at his bench this aftertax at i bird aud Market streets. When asked for the part iculars iu the case he said : ■ "Last December Mr MeGillin, who k pt a place next to my store on King ! s reel, wanted to borrow $800, for two month ■ He told me he hud money, but wa .m! available, md lie had a liquor iteet.

"The month elapsed and nothing was said about satisfying the bond by either MeGillin or Groves. I waited three or four weeks after the throe months ex pired, and I began to feel anxious. thought I had better inquire, for I hud burrowed the money and i had to return it. "Mrs. Groves, wife of the magistrate, cams to my house and told us that Me Oilliii had paid lier husband the money, but that he had lost it from ins hip pocket. She said that she dreadfully worried and she afraid it would throw him Into brain fever. 1 said that I wondered lie did not come and tell me. 1 went and saw Me Giilin and told him I had come to see if lie could pay me the $;lnil; it had long since become due, and I would like to re turn it to the party from whom I had borrowed it. "Ho informed me that he had paid him the money at t he magistrate's office, aud ordered him to get tlie bond. He said lie had great confidence in Mr. Groves and did not think anything like that would happen. He told me that I should not lose a cent, and said: Til bet $1 I will have to pay tlie bond over again. It was a very foolish trick for me to do to give him the money. 1 bold Groves's receipt for tlie $800 1 gave him.' That is all I kuow about it. I hold the bond, and of course 1 do not propose to give it up, because Groves did not pay me t ho money that he received from McUilliu. " was was Trying to Settle.thr Mutter. Mr. Hambright also showoil the re porter tlm following letter received from William Michael Byrne, at noon; "Dhah Sin : Some time ago you loaned through money B. B. to Thomas his bond. Mr. since paid Mr, Groves, yonr agent, the amount of the judgement. I regret to hear that it has not been turned over to you. Mr. Groves, 1 understand is making efforts to get money to pay you. I should be glad to see you at my office on Monday about tho matter." Tlie recipient of this letter informed the newspajier man that he considered it a matter between Groves and MeGillin, und he did not think he would go to the office. Groves, MeGillin MeGillin some on lui Will Settle on Wednesday. Tlie reporter called at Magistrate Groves's office and asked for ids version of the affair. "Weil, there is only this aboutit —1 lost it." • "When?" "I don't just remember the date." "In what shape was the money that was entrusted to you?" "In hank notes." "What do you propose to do about it?" "1 have made arrangements to settle it on Wednesday. It takes a poor man. some time to scrape together $8 0, 1 do not want aiiytliiug iu the papers about it. It will hurt my busi ness. It was truly lost. I know I am responsible for it, and I will make good. I did not make any use of the money. " "Is' William Mieliael Byrne your law yer." "No, he is MeGUlin's attorney." "Did Waller II. Hayes come to you and tell you that you must settle or be prosecuted?" "No, Mr. Hayes has noth ing to do with the case."
