NEW YORK CITY.
The impending Labor strikes.

NEW York, March 2J.-Rumors OF IN
approaching strike cause o great unCer.
tainty In many branches oftrade and In.
dustry. Nothing Is known OF q positive
nature except that the Master Carpenters
Association have decided that they will
no longer DO governed by the 8 hour rule.
Many Of the employers hsvc arranged
their business to guard against strikes.
The representatives OF the working men,
on the other hand, disclaim that any
strike Is intended. It is evident that there
Is want Of unanimity among the work
lugmen on tho subject. The Manhattan
Gas.lighl Company apprehends no strike,
although from this date lis workingmen's
wages have been reduced from $400 to
SO so per day. Another Gas Company,
located in Down district, do fear that
their men will strike, but In that event,
they have arranged 10 secure new men.
The officials Of the district steamship
line ut this port, think that the bill now
pending In the Legislature, for increasing
by one dollar per head, money from
emigrants, i5 against the interests Of the
city, as emigrants arc already taxed two
dollars per head, and the bill referred to
will cause an additional injustice.
The postofflce authorities turned over
to Nathaniel Jarvis, Jr., the receiver sp-
pointed by the Supreme Court, the pack
age VI bonds valued at $4,000, which
has been lying in the post office address
cd to Bidwell, one Of the alleged
Bank OF England lOrgers. The
other packages OF bonds which are
address directly to Duncan, Sherman q
Co., are expected and will be attached
as soon as they come into the hands ot
the firm. Geo. Mcdonnell one Of the al
legged forgers was brought before COmmis'
sioner Gutman this afternoon, and was
confronted by Sergernt Webb, OF the
London detective force. who produced
the warrant of the Lord Mayor Of London
for his arrest. The prisoners counsel
raised the point that there was no proof
before the Court that tho Lord Mayor
had Jurisdiction In such cases, but 1t was
overruled. Francis Grey whose expenses
paid her by the British Government. Tes-
lifted she lived In London; new prisoner,
who had furnished her money to come to
America, promising to meet her In Liver
pool but did not keep disappointment. She
returned 10 London and was there arrested.
Two weeks were granted for preparation
of evidence for the bank, and the accused
was remauded TO the custody OF the Uni
ted States Marshal.
The Goodrich mystery Is yet unsolVed.
1t is stated that the building OF q row OF
brown stone fronts on DGGraw street,
Brooklyn, involved the supposed murder
ed man heavily in debt, and that he was
not wealthy as at first supposed. The fol.
lowing is description OF the missing gold
watch: "Herr Predtway, 10 lines Of red
gold, frosted; No. Il, ,232, Jules Jurgersen,
Copenhagen" 1t appears that the So
called bloody shirt found IN the house
where the murder was committed had no
blood stains whatever on II; had no but
tons torn of, aud was simply soiled. The
Chief of Police oil Brooklyn still holds TO
the theory that Mr.. Goodrich committed
suicide, and that financial embarrassment
was the cause.
Frederick Heggi, accused OF the muir.
der OF SiegIried, appeared as witness
and identified Noyes and was brought
here 10 identify Mcdonnell. Detective
Farley testified to the arrest Of McDon-
nell on the ThuriDgia. An affidavit was
submitted that full deposition has been
forwarded from London.
The gas companies arc determined to
refuse any demands for increased wages
and the adoption OF the eight hour sys'
TEN, and arc confident that II strike
takes place II will result in an utter fail
urc. Every prccaution has been taken to
secure aconlinuance Of work. Final &C.
ton will be token by the workmen at
meeting next Monday.
1t is reported that the city real estate
