MADE WAY WITH MILLIONS.
Manager of Cassatt & Co., Who Killed
Himself Last December.

According to bill filed in equity at Phila-
delphia yesterday by Cassett & Co. bankers
and brokers' Howard T. Goodwin. who in De-
cember of last year committed suicide in
the Arcade building. had during a period of
years misappropriated cash, stocks and
bonds to the extent of 81, 600 900 or more
the property of CaSsatt & Co. Good
win was the manager of the firm at the
time he committed suicide.
Suit was begun in common pleas court
No. 3 on behalf of the brokers by John G.
johnson. 1t was directed against Lizzie X
Goodwin, executriX of the estate Of Horace
T. Goodwin and asked that she be directed
to render an accounting of all property left
by her husband. including real estate art
treasures rare books and shares of stock.
1t was alleged in the bill that Goodwin,
during his career the trusted manager
of the concern, had made way with large
sums, said to amount to 81. 600, 600 and that
his property had been purchased with
money which rightfully belonged to others.
Only in the extent of the amount was the
news of the alleged shortage surprise. 1t
was shown at the time of Goodwn's death
that he had been plunging in the stock
market. and he was supposed to have been
interested in Consolidated Lake Superior
1t was also said that he was involved in
several promoting schemes that had been
financial failures.
His death was tragic one and occurred

The sound of Nigefs footsteps died away
as he disappeared at the bend of the road
just out of the village. Piety drew a long
breath and then turned and went on. wheel

farm.
She would not mount it again she was

for her, with a carefully prepared conven-

"buttonhole." which he would insist upon
these flowers. which he fattered himself
that she kept. dried and carefully pre-
served, among her treasures.
But the truth was that, though she was
too amiable not to take the flowers which
had been. she knew, specially cut for
her, Piety never kept one. In the first
days of Johns slow courtship, while she
was still rather flattered by the honor of
the great mans attentions, she had been

GOULD SYSTEM OCEAN LINE.
Texas Pacific to Have Connection SINH
lar to That Of Southern Pacific.

Negotiations are well under way for
new steamship line between New York and
New Orleans. which will be run primarily
in connection with the Gould railroad sys-
tenn, says the New York Herald. If the
plans are finally perfected Mr.. Gould will
have access to New York by water just as
the Hartman system has.
After comforting with members Of the pro-
duce exchange, the Merchants Association
and the National Association of Manufac-
turers. the committee from the New Or
leans board Of trade announced that
arrangements had been made for closer
trade relations between New York and
New Orleans. Negotiations looking to
the establishment of line Of pas
senger and freight steamers between the
two ports have been begun. Except that
the steamers will be run in connection with
the Gould lines. no details concerning the
new line could be obtained yesterday.
I'VE are not at liberty to say with whom
we have been negotiating. or who is inter-
ested in the project" said James w. Porch,
the spokesman of the committee. We real
ize that we must have water communica-
tons with New York. Rail lines do not
offer cheap freights. and there are many
reasons why new steamship line should be
established. New Orleans Is developing its
terminal facilities for handling grain at
rapid rate. We now have storage capacity
for 5000, 600 bushels. and will soon have
1000. 600 bushels additional capacity. 1t is
our intention to deal in grain futures on our
board of trade. and with ample storage
capacity futures will be protected.
I'VE have been studying the methods of
the exchanges here. and will probably model
our board of trade on those of this city and
Chicago"
The members of the committee are ]. H.
Lafaye, president of the New Orleans board
of trade; James w. Porch. first vice presi-
dent: A. F. Leonhardt. chairman of the
grain committee. and Frederick Muller. Sec

CHAPTER x.

Now. although Piety had never once in
the course Of the evening mentioned the
name of Nigel this was by no means a
result Of forgetfulness Of him and his
troubles. Knowing that her old friend was
in dire disgrace and quite unaware Of the
circumstances Of the fight the previous
evening. she felt a shyness about mention
ing him to John. whose contemptuous man
ner when speaking Of his unlucky rival irri-
tated her more than she could quite ex-
plain
She was longing to know whether the po-
lice had taken action against Nigel or
whether he himself had taken any steps to
avert such calamity.
During the whole of the next day, when
she was at her counter at Messrs Jones,
Briggs & Binghams. she dreaded hearing
some bit Of gossip connected with his name.
