NEW YORK, July ll.-Lizzie Lloyd
King, alias Kate Stoddard, the muderess
of Charles Goodrich, slept soundly in the
Kings county Jail last night. The lead
ing papers were furnished her at her re-
quest to-day, and she read all which they
contained in reference 10 her case. Some
Of the statements, she remarked, were In.
correct, but she did not psrticularize
them. For time she appeared in rath.
or melancholy mood, but subsequently
frightened up and appeared very cheer
full. She conversed some time with Fan.
ME Hyde, the murderess Of George W.
Watson, whom she considerably resem-
bles. They spend a grester part OF the
time in each others company.
The excitement in Brooklyn con-
Cerning the case is still unabsted,
and 1t Is the topic OF conversation in every
house and upon every corner. This morn
ing Miss Kings effects, with the exception
Of a number Of letters and articles Of tho
deceased found 10 her possession, were
sent 10 the jail. The watch, pOcket.bOok,
seals, &c, were handed 10 the District
Attorney, and will be used as evidence In
the trial. The trial, however, will not
take place 10 three months, as It will be
September before the next grand jury is

EXTRAORDINARY CONSPIRACY
TO ROB THE SHAH.
How II Was Discovered and Broken
nnVvH

How II Was Discovered and Broker
Down.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE LondoE
C0TTt9p0nd'nt publishes the story of q
conspiracy to rob the Shah Of Persia ol
his jewels. The party consisted Of three
remarkable men, criminals Of the first
water, yet who were totally unknown to
the London police; though often com
promised, they had never been convicted
Of felony. They we're Colonel Algernon,
Bignon Hawkins, and the header Of the
party and organizer ot the conspiracy,
Seraano, his other name Is not now
known. He Is q Jew diamond bro
ker Of Marsellles, but formerly Of Sal.
omac, and Baron Narses Nigredetch Da-
dean, formerly Sheriff or money lender Of
Alepto, but lately OF London and Paris,
an Entlchian Armenian, and said TO be
connected with the eminent Oglon Da.
dean family, who has so long managed
the finances Of the Sublime Porle. The
fourth and last actor in the conspiracy
was Toby Spring, a first claSs burglar and
safe blower Toby Spring was left in
London while the others went to Moscow
and managed to get Narses attached in
some capacity to the Shah's ssuite. Hawk
ins then fastened to London and rented a
handsome furnished house in the neigh
borhood Of POrtman square and hired a
retinue of Flunkies and gave himself out
for an American nabob who had come
to spend few weeks in tue great city,
and especially to give some RECREATION to
his daughter who was just finishing her
education at the fashionable Pension on
the Liore. It had been designed to COM
nit the robbery while the Shah was sur.
rounded by his retinue and guards In
the buckingham Palace, but this idea
was given up for q safer one of
inducing the Shah to visit the house and
while there 10 get possession Of his jewels.
According to the story, an appointment
was made for the Shah to visit Hawkins
at his house, his so.called daughter being
ing the attraction. When Narses was
mado aware Of this success, he got intox.
icated, smoking opium, and was seen in
that condition on the street. A detective
followed thALthe Persian might not come
to harm, and saw him go to Hawkins Of
fee, knock for admitanceI and that the
door was opened by Toby Spring,
whom he recognized. Thinking that
Narses had fallen among thieves, the
detective procured assistance and forced
his way into the house. Toby was Sc
cured, and also serafno,. Hawkins made
his escape, but Nsrses, In his fright and
delirium, made straight for tho river, and
was drowned. seraGno made partial
confession, and surrendered quantity Of
burglars tools, and the plot was disclosed.
The heavy burden Of tho cheat fell upon
poor General Hadji Dschellalleddin, who
has been permanently disgraced, and
was sent home to Persia by the next
steamer Of the PeninsulAr and Orient
line.

THE Legislature Of Connecticut has re-
stored the usury law, which was repealed
last year. The people have had an expe'
rience OF nine months Of free trade in
money, and were in favor Of returning to
the old restrictive system. The pressure
from the rural districts was too strong for
the legislators 10 venture to resist It, and
they voted back the old system. It's sta.
ted that the peculiar condition oil the gen.
eral money markets during almost the en-.
tire nine months experience Of free trade
in money in Connecticut was taken advan-
tage Of by the friends oil the usurY laws
for the lurtherance Of their views. Money
was unusually stringent and dear at New
York and all the financial centers. Some
oil the Connecticut savings banks, owned
and operated chiefly by the agricultural
interest, loaned money at 8, and in some
cases OF 9A1O par cent. The farmers i'm
puted the advance In rates to extortion in
consequence Of the repeal Of the usury
law, and the result was q pressure which
compelled the restoration Of the old law
re.establishiDg 2 per cent as the legal
maximum rate Of interest in Connecticut
and prohibiting higher charges under
heavy penalties.
