ANax York Murder.

One Of the most revolving and myste-
rious murders which has been commit
ted in New York City for a long time
was discovered at No. 140 West Forty
second street, on Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Jane l.. de F. Hull retired soon
after II o'clock Tuesday night, and
about 7 o'clock Wednesday morning
she was found dead in her Led in back
room on the first floor, her arms pin
ioued at the elbows and tied together
at the wrists, her feet bound tightly
to the sides of the bed stead, bandages
tied tightly over her mouth and eyes,
and her neck and head swathed in por.
tions of an old dress and q shawl.
Valuable rings that she wore had
been torn from. her fingers, and her
trunk had been rihed OF her watch,
chain and other jewellery. No clew up
to Thursday, morning had beeu discov-
cred to the murderer or murderers.
Since that time the New York police
have made up their minds that the
murder of Mrs. Hull vas perpetrated
by one or more persons in the house,
and that the abstraction of the jewels
was not robbery in fact, but was sim
ply intended to mar . it appear that the
crime was the work Of professional
thieves.
The police yesterday issued circu-
lar to pawnbrokers, giving list Of all
property stolen from Mrs. Hull's resi-.
dence. Regarding the whereabouts Of
DR.. Hull on the night of the murder,
the police state that DR.. Hull spent the
evening before the murder at home;
that he retired at the usual time, and
was first informed of the tragedy be-
tween and 8 o'clock the next morn
ing. DR.. Hull remains in the house.
Detectives have not been absent from ii
since the discovery of the murder, and
it is admitted by the police that DR..
Hull is under surveillance.
He was allowed perfect freedom in
the house, but the detective kept near
him constantly and seemed to watch
every movement he made. Their con-
duct was commented OH unfavorably by
other occupants of the house, as the
police had admitted that there was no
ground for suspecting him. The expla-
nation was said to be that Captain Will
liams was not entirely satisfied with the
theory that the murder has been com
mitted by bungling robbers.
He was inclined to think, it was re-
ported, that there were some indications
that the murder might have been COM
mitted by some one belonging to the
house. His theory was that Mrs. Hull
had been murdered before her limbs
had been tied to the bed. The flesh Of
her wrist and ankles were not discOlored
as it would have been ifshe had been tied
while she was alive, and none of the
knots in the fastening were drawn very
tightly. A singular circumstances was
the singing of the dead woman's eye
brows. An ignorant person, it was said
would not have held a lighted candle tt
the eyes to see iflife was extinct.

A Large Trade.

The Delaware and Western railroad
is doing an immense trade in the coal
and lumber business. The road is also
busy in hauling porcelain clay, several
car loads of which was sent yesterday
to the Trenton, N. j., porcelain fac
tories. This clay was formerly shipped
abroad by company, and all the clay
used at the extensive Gloucester Porce
lain Factory twenty five or thirty years
ago, came from this factory. Z. D.
Williams, since deceased, was the pro
prietor. The factory was afterwards
carried on by Mr.. Quigley, railroad
contractor, but upon the failure of the
porcelain factory in Gloucester it was
given up.

WHAT MRS. WATSON HAS TO SAY.

Mrs. Watson, this afternoon, had a
proposition from George NJ. butcher,
through other parties, asking her to go
to Camden, while the investigation was
in progress. Mrs. Watson informed
Mr.. butcher that she emphatically de-
clined to accede 70 his request as she
considered it unjust to her womanly
instinct.
She claims that she also has a right
to be heard on the same question as
George NJ. butcher, and for this reason
she declines at present to leave.
Mrs. Watson says that she does not
propose to allow few reformed men to
dictate to her in relation to her future
plans and also as to where she shall 90.
When she leaves this city she says
she departs on her own responsibility,
and will attend to her own lectur-
ing. She further claims that it
would be impossible for any committee
to vindicate him unless she too was
vindicated, and she characterized the
whole proceedings as unjust, unmanly
and all insult.
