THE GOODRICH MURDER.

Lucette Myers, arrested some time
ago for supposed completely in the
Goodrich murder, and subsequently re-
leased, was rearrested yesterday. Since
her discharge she has been under con-
slant surveillance. Yesterday she was
taken before the grand jury. District
Attorney Brittou says that She has made
to him and other officials the most ex-
traordinary statements regarding the
murder of Mr.. Goodrich. Her last
statement duplicates person whose
name has not hitherto been mentioned
in connection with the case.
Mr.. Britton says that, if her story is
true, it presents one of the most re-
markable phases in the hitory Of crime.
Having learned that Mrs. Myers was
apparently making preparations to get
out Of the way, the district attorney
procured her arrest as an important wit
ness Immediately after she had given
testimony before the grand jury. The
person whom Mrs. Myers now accuses
of completely in the murder is believed
to be in this country, and Mr.. Britton
says that steps have already been taken
to secure his capture. Mrs Myers is in
Raymond street jail, having declined to
give bail in one thousand five hundred
dollars.

A POLICEMAN,s COURAGE.

Yesterday at noon an explosion in
John J. Bowen's chemical laboratory,
Henry street, New York, startled the in
habitants in the neighborhood for sever
al blocks aronnd. The basement and
entire rear of the building, three story
brick, quickly caught fire from the burn
ing chemicals. Tho laboratory was
small rear extension and the store room,
in the basement. The first and second
floors were occupied by Mr.. Bowens
family and the third by a mason, j.
Sillisa, and his wife, Henry Bowen, a
boy of fifteen was purifying balsam of
fir, from kettle in which it was boil
ing on a stove. A portion spilling
caught fire and communicated with the
ladle nearly full in the boys hand.
The boy threw the dipper down, and
some of the burning contents spattered
into tGTel of crude balsam stand
ing near. The fire spread to the
chemicals in the basement and some
barrels of alcohol exploded. At the
time of the explosion Mrs. Bowen and
Mrs. Sillisa were the only persons in
the house, and both ON the third floor.
Mrs. Bowen hurried down while Mrs.
Sillisa remained, saying that she want
ed to gather some yaluables.
Meanwhile the fire, aided by u strong
draught up the stairway, was fast clos
ing the avenue to escape. Mrs. Sillisa.
driven by flame and smoke from the
staircase in the rear, appeared at the
window overlooking the crowd in the
street below, and seemed bewildered.
my God there's woman p yelled
some one. Jump !" said some of the
firemep others shouted to her to get out
through the scuttle. At that instant
the fire burst through the front base
ment windows, and thick, black smoke
rolled up the front, obscuring the fated
wsman from the view of the excited
throng. A ladder was thrown up, and
Officer Titus, OF the Madison street po-
lice, assembled to the roof of the adioin-
ing house and forced open the scuttle
of the burning building. Below were a
few narrow steps and at the bottom a
door locked with n paddock and chain.
Hearing the screams ON the other side
of the door he lost no time in smashing
it from its hinges.
1t could not be removed, as large
metal bath tub had been placed against
it. The opening up the hatchway made
the draught through the building
stronger than before, and it was quick
ly filled with fire and smoke. The Off
Ger, an old fireman, escaped to the roof
with the smuggling of his hair and slight
burns on the face. Engines Is, 8, and
IL arriving, extinguished the flames.
Mrs. Sillisa was found dead across the
bath tub, her arms slightly burned and

A GOOD FALL BUSINESS INDICATED.

The prospect in Wall street is bright
ening day by day and one by one the
stumbling blocks which have checked
the march of trade and commerce are
disappearing. Money is returning to
the Golfers of the savings banks, the de-
mand upon the state banks for currency
and discounts receives prompt attention,
foreign exchange is easier, and the
crops, which have been blocked in the
harbor, are already moving across the
ocean. 1t is generally reported that a
large number of railway shares have
been absorbed by legitimate investors
at panic prices, transferred to the
names of the owners, and carried out of
the street.
Money is beginning to flow back in
to Wall street, in some degree, and the
premium for legal tenders is only about
three per cent. Loans are negotiating
at about an average of one fourth per
cent per day, and are easily made upon
good securities at these figures. The
loan committee of the banks still con-
time to issue the temporary loan certi-
ticates, and about twenty-five hundred
million dollars has thus been put for
ward. Hence the signs of the time are
still favorable, notwithstanding the tenn
porary suspension, yesterday, OF bank
ing firm and large dry goods house.

VERMONT must be the "Ban-
.ner State" as regards the con
dltion of its finances. The debt
of the State is only $195, $40,
while the treasury contains al
most a quarter OF a million dol
lars, and is credited with a
large amount of uncoliected
taxes. The current liabilities
OF the State are only about
$4,000; the Government is
economical, and it has no
Tweeds in prospect. Last year
SS2,500 of the debt was paid.
1t seems to be possible for Yer
mont to rid herself of all debt
in a year or two, and if things
go on II this way it will soon
have surplus fund, the inter
est on which will pay the cost
of government and taxes may
be abolished.
