CAUGHT AFTER 10 YEARS.

The WOODEN firm of Goodman Brothers
found a shortage Of between $4,000 aud
100000 in then books thirteen wears AGO
when they were at Broadway and Grand
Street, and snspactin9 their bookkoeper,
James Fisher, who had had the power to
sign checks and had had much TO do With
the firms finances. they reported to the
District Attorney, aud Fisher was indicted.
Suspicion was directed against him by the
discovery that he had opened a saloon.
They never caught the man, however, for
he left his house without coat or collar lust
as u detective called with a warrant, and
from then the police got no trace Of him
until last night Joel B. Goodman and Benja-
MN Goodman, the brothers who compose
the hfm, were III a Broadway car, and at
Thirty first Street saw a man whom they
decided was ttieir missing bookkeeper.
They alighted and followed him to Fifth
Avenue and Thirtieth Street, where they
met Policeman Trimont, and got him to
make the arrest. At the Tenderloin Station
the prisoner said he was Thomas Fisher, q
liquor dealer at Smith and Livingston Streets,
Brooklyn. He admitted that he had worked
for Goodman Brothers, but eaid that he was
a brother of the man the police were looking
for. He said be had been Il salesman for the
firm and not the bookkeeper, and lett the
firms employ a year before the emUezzle'
ment was discovered.
Despite Fishers protestations he was lock-
ed. up when Detective Crystal, who had been
assigned to the case thirteen years ago, visit
ed the station house and Identified him from
an enlargement of the bookkeeper's photo
graph which he had had made at the time OF
his dlsappearance.-N. Y. Times, July 1N@'

E 5 INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme and Holland 81
Liverpool, write as follows, under date Juna
II, with reference to the sales of West In
dian Sea Island cotton:-
Since our last report, about 23O bales
West Indian Sea Island cotton have been
sold, including about 100 bales St. Vincent
from 22d to 300, 20 bales Barbados 2Od TO
Old, and 100 bales Stains at SD to 1917
The demand for fine yarn for lace purpos-
es IS very limited, and consequently many
spinnefa have turned their machinery on to
SakellariJes Egyptian cotton, with a view Of
manufacturing Il coarser article which thew
can sell readily. This is in spite Of the fact
that not only is the West Indian Sea Island
crop a short one, but the Carolina crop has
been an absolute failure, and fairly contirms
the caution which We gave planters last sea-
son not to increase their acreage. Had if
not been for the failure Of Carolina this
year, the two growths would, in all proba-
blllty, be a glut at Id OF course, if the
fashion for ladies' dress should change. the
whole situa ion would be altered immediate-

FATAL DIVE FROM BRIDGE INTO
A RIVER IN FLOOD.

Harry Roberts, of L'anrwst, Denbighshire,
known as the "Human Otter because of his
clever diving and swimming, lost his life on
Tuesday i'll sight of Il large number of peo-
pie through diving into the River Conway
at LlanrWst.
Roberts offered to dive into the river from
an old bridge about SOFT. above the surface
Of the water for a bet. The offer, 1t is alleged,
was accepted, and Roberts climbed to the
highest point OF the bridge. After eAc)aim-
lug, Il ana off, boys" he plunged into the
river, which was in food and swollen to
about four times its normal size. He sank
Immediately in the rapid stream, A few
minutes later his head was seen above the
water about 100 yards away. Efforts were
made to recover the body, but they were I'm.
successful. 1t is thought that Roberts must
have struck his head on a submerged rock.
