The Assembly Committee on determinations IN
railroad rates on Saturday examined the New
York Centraps books containing the names of the
firms to which special rates have been granted
Samuel Goodman, who has charge of the local
traffic of the railroad, continued his testimony. lie
said that 80 per cent of the goods transported to
the chief cities were carried at special rates. Many
of the contracts we're only for goods transported
during the Summer. Contracts lasting through the
wear were made, however on condition that the
firms should send their goods exclusively over the
railroad The local traffic had increased enormously

Two unoccupied houses in Wbitestone, l.. l., be-
longing to Mrs Thomas Martin, wife of farmer
living near Jamaica, were burned on May %. a

fessed except Martin, who denies his guilt. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Martin told Mrs. Sebotker that she
would give 800 to have the houses burned down.
This led to an agreement with Clarence 20 do the
work. He hired Summons and Alderman TO help
him. On two occasions they got there TOO late so
he took his brother Paul with them. They found
