with completely ina murder in Albany
last week, Of q man whose name and

ago on the ground OF irregularities in Gus
tom House transactions, admits that the
cash book Of the 6rm contains entries ot
sums paid Inspectors, together with the

II appears that on Tuesday last Secre'
tary Richardson received information
from New York TO the effect that an In
yestlgation into the manner in which the
employees in the Appraiser office and U.
8, Deputy Collectors conducted business,
might be found interesting. There
were also suggestions as 10 fraud on the
part OF this class OI officials, including 10
all about sixty persons. Those charged
with the investigation will not give any
information, and all sorts Of rumors are
current, one being that the report 10 the
Secretary Of the Treasury was based on
the statement of q man who, being dlssat.
isfed with his share Of the money re-
ceived, disclosed all he knew about the
matter. .. IA, ....r
A Washington special says that SeCre-
tary Richardson, when asked about The
report published, said that tho Treasury
Department Is always investigating, not
only in New York, but at every port.
Where there is much business done 1t Is
necessary to be constantly dihgent.
Sometimes reports come from apparently
didnterested parties, while Rt other times
charges are specifically made by agents
Of tho Department, who have facilities
for detecting fraud that mercantile COM
munities little dream oi. In this case
(relerring to New York; the information
tiled came from man whose reports
heretofore have been found strictly COR
rect. Sweeping ss they were, i was the
duty Of the Collector TO investigate; and
while there Is good reason for believing
that many arc guilty, some may be inno;-
cent. cannot say until hear the result
Of the investigation what number will be
discharged.
Pilots and pilot commissioners, here,
condemn the proposed plan Of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury 10 make them gov.
eminent ofEicers. g44.

One OF the women arrested in Brook
lyn last night is AIrs. Weston, wife OF the
one.armed man who was found horribly
murdered about q week ago, near Albany,
and in her possession was found a seven
barrel revolver, empty. One ol the other
women, wife Of Emil Lowenstein, also had
an empty fiVe.barrel revolver on her per.
son. The name Of the other woman or;
rested is unknown, They were all found
IN Weston's house, on Palmetto street,
Brooklyn, in one.halt OF which Lowen.
stein and vile lived. Weston, the mur.
dered man, was q One.armed soldier, and
sold prize packages for living, and the
day he left Brooklyn he drew consider
able amount OF money from bank. II
is believed that WestOn's vile assisted
Emil Lowenstein In numbering heI hus-
band; that the wife Of Lowenstein wit
messed the murder; and that the other
