site preparations for his trip to Utica, and all

TOMBS POLICE COURT.
Before Judge Bowling.

BeIOre Judge DOWNING.
Business in this Court has been very much en-
barrassed OF late for want OF the necessary blanks
and other stationery. 1t seems that the Street
Department, on which requisition has to be made,
cannot get any stationer to supply them, the
difficulty being that the stationers despair OF ever
getting paid by the Comptroller. Judge DOwling,
as also the other Police Justices declare tnat tney
Will very soon have to suspend business altogether
and in fact, as far the TOmbs Police Court is
concerned, it will be soon an absolute necessity
Burglary in Warren Street.
About four O'Clock Wednesday afternoon John
Sherman, Of No. SO Warren street, saw two men
come from the upper floor Of the building with a
quantity Of shoes In their hands. He followed
them for block and put them in the hands Of
Oficer Warner, who took the two men to the
Third precinct station house. where they gave
their names as Michael Wilson and John Lapham.
1t was subsequently discovered that loft, occu-
pied by Meyer Stock, on the top floor Of No. so
Warren street, had been burglarlously entered and
the shoes found with the prisoners taken there
from. They were arraigned before Judge Downing
yesterday, and held in $4,000 bail each to answer.

AN ALLEGED DEPAULTINe pAYMAsTER.

In the case OF the United States vs. Henry
Meeker, a pondsman for the late Major w. W.
sherman, paymaster OF the government during
the late war, special verdict was rendered at
Trenton yesterday for the amount of $25,697 AZ
against defendant, which sum was alleged to be
due the plaintiff on July 9, 1885, in consequence OF
deficit in the accounts OF Sherman with the gov
ernment at that time. good deal OF discussion
took place between counsel both sides in refer
ence to a difference between the statements fur
nished by sherman to the Comptroller's Depart
ment at washington and those made out at
the Auditors Office there. IL was contended
by the defence that Sherman did not distribute
the funds entrusted to his charge to the troops,
but that other paymasters in the service at tnat
time were the channels through which the moneys
went from his hands. In one OF the deendants
reports II was stated that the sum OF s24, AL Al
was deficient, which would be accounted for In a
future statement. The government authorities
made the deficiency $25,6g7 AZ, which caused diff
ference IN the two statements OF s1,256 OF. 1t was
on this point the whole controversy centred, and
the government also claims interest on Its
figures from July O. 1866 Several kn0tty law points
IN reference to the matter were reserved Tor con-
sideration. .~

G. B. GRINNELL & co.

a Petition Filed Against the Company
An Injunction Characterization of the
Court.
In the matter OF George Bird Grinnell and Joseph
O. Williams, general partners, and George B. Grin
nell, special partner, composing the firm OF George
Brd Grinnell & Co., petition for adjudication in
bankruptcy has been filed.
The petitioner In this case is Henry Myers, and
he prays that the above named parties be adjud-
Gated bankrupts. He alleges that they had guar
anteed to him, IN writing, by the general partner
snip OF George B. Grinnell & Co., sum amounting
TO $3,362 II, with interest from September, 1s7s
and which sum is for balance of money owing the
petitioner on purchase and sale Of stocks made
by the general partnership OF G. b. Grin
,, nell Co., for and d., on account ,sSa of Of the the
committed an act OF bankruptcy during the money
panic In Wall street, when the market price OF
horne Brother 10, 900 shares of the Lake Shore
Railroad Company's bonds as collateral security
for an Indebtedness OF g: B. Grinnell \ Co. to
inadequate to secure the debt; that they gave a
preference to Messrs Lawrence Brothers, creditors
Of the limited partnership OF G. b. Grnnell Il Co.,
over their other credtors that they gave So 900 OF
the hannibal and Naples Railroad Company as fur
tuer security for the indebtedness; that they paid
to Musgrave 4 Co., creditors OF the linn
tied partnership, $4,000 in money on ac-
count OF the Indebtedness OF the limited
partnership to Musgrave 4 co. when the security
held by the latter Tor payment OF the Indebtedness
was inadequate to secure the same. 1t Is further
stated in the petition of M. Myers that the depre-
citation of stocks at this time was so great that the
assets or the limited partnership consisted almost
entirely Of such stocks; that Grinnell Co. were,
in point OF fact at this time, insolvent; and that
they have ever since been unable to meet their
business engagements. The petition makes lthe
further allegation that the limited partnership
has outstanding securities nypothecated by them
in loans known on the street as ''turning
loans,n but, in fact mere device to cover
loans on stocks and securities to the amount OF
many millions of dollars; and that OF the
holders thereof have not, as the petoner believes,
valid title to hold the same against the creditors
OF the limited partnerthip. That there is great
danger that the parties holding the same will sac
rtfce them before an assignee In bankruptcy can
be appointed to the great injury and detriment OF
the general creditors unless the sale OF the same
be restrained by Injunction.
Judge Blatchord has granted an order to show
cause why the alleged debtors should not be adudi-
Gated Dankrupts The order IS returnable on the
11th inst.

THE GOODRICH MURDER.
What Lucctte Meyers Says Concerning
the "Wfid Goose Chaser After Roscoe
and Beach.


and Beach.
An interview was had yesterday with Mrs. Lu-
cette Meyers who is held as witness at the Kings
County JAN, where she may be readily found when
wanted by the District Attorney to give testimony
In the Goodrich murder case. Mrs. Meyers appear
ance at the Jail was most unwelcome for Kate
Stoddard, inasmuch as it led to the dispossession
OF the latter who has been occupying the witness
room. Lucette was given the apartment In ques-
tion, and Miss Stoddard has been transferred to
the corridor occupied by Mrs. Merrigan, the
alleged murderess OF Miss Margaret Hammill.
In answer to series OF questions
touching her case, Mrs. Meyers said
that she was perfectly astonished when she was
arrested on Wednesday last, but sne supposed the
District Attorney had done it out OF spite. She
never had the slightest idea or leaving the city,
although she could easily have done SO score of
times with perfect safety since the Coroner's in
quest had she been so disposed. Mrs. Meyers re-
marked that she knew very well that the police

statement that the Spaniard Roscoe and John
Henry Beach figured prominently IN the tragedy,

their arrest.n She declined to state in what par
ticular manner these men were mixed up in the
murder, on the ground that she was not at liberty
TO give that Information. she had visited the Po-
lice commissioners frequently within the last two
months. and had kept them informed as to her
movements In pursuit OF Beach and Roscoe. Beach
was seen five weeks ago, and Lucette is OF
the opinion he Is stili in New York:
She had just perfected another plan OF
operation when arrested; but there is another
party who will follow up the clew. Want of means
all along had nterlerred with her success in the
hunt, and 1t was all nonsense to say that she was
under the pay OF the Police Department. Beach
wrote the letter to the police III the first place.
which caused her arrest, and it was through q
feeling oil revenge more than anything elSe which
led her to disclose his name. Beach knows all
all about the anair, Mrs. Meyers says, and could
clear up the mystery but he was not the kind OF a
man TO be engaged IN the murder.
