As anticipated in Tax Stan last week, the report states that in his (Drew's) judgment the fire was caused by the apoutancous combustion of cloths under “a washstand in room 16, on the third floor of the building, carelessly thrown there by the laboring men who were engaged in oiling and repairing the furniture. His opinion seems to be generally conceded as a correct one. THAT PERSISTENT, PERIPAPETIC, BASY- TONGUED WANDERER, the lightning-rod man, made a charge on the Attorney General to-day with his beautiful sample of glass, wir and wood. He first captured Chief Clerk Falls, to whom he delivered an exordium on how the talk of uncertainty of life was folly when pro- tected with one of his patent, spiro, wiry rods; how even lovers could under & brick chimney on the house-top bill and coo, thougn “the lightning should flash and the’ loud thunder rattle.” He grew enthusiastic as he related the workings of applied science as, against the loss of life by a stroke of the electric fluid; praised Ben Franklin and Morse and the pat: entee of his beautiful sample.

The two went off together, the insurance agent re- monstrating with his friend on his excessive modesty. Mr. Falls recommended the purchase of his sample, with which to charge bayonets upon hungry reporters.

Seo mernersr Tre Story or E. S. MiLLs.—A painfal story fs related in our “spirit of the press” concern- ing the late president of the Brooklyn Trust company, and its leading details, we regret to say, appear to be corroborated’ both by our Wall street and Brooklyn reporters. Instead of case of accidental drowning, his death has al in which the un- t refuge fi very of a heavy defatcation, ‘and @e 1 of ‘trust in the financial institution of ich he was president. It ia the old story over again. First, extravagance, if not living be- yond one’s means; next, reckless speculation; next, & deeper involvement in debt; next, the temptation to appropriate other peopte’s money to make good his own losses—doubtless in the delusive hope that his speculations, some day, ‘would turn in his fayor—and then, the desper- ate, despairing resolve to cancel his obligations, 80 far as this world is concerned, by Canceling his life. To the disgrace which must attach to the memory of such a man is left a heritage of woe to his Innocent family, in whose misfortune of course ail must deeply sympathize.— 1. ¥.

It now appears that these unfavorable reports were invented purposely by a bull clique, who suddenly sprung their mine this morning and ran up the price here from 58%, to 624 within an hour. amid considerable excitement in the Stock Exchange. Holders of Erie shares are loaning out their stock this morning to persons who are ‘short’ at half per cent. per day or $50 per diem for the use of each huudred share certificates. It is ascertained that the corner was engineered by Daniel Drew. Noticing that the German bankers were free sellers yesterda: probably expecting to be able to make good their delivery to-day, Mr. Drew, it is said, quietly bought all the stock offered, amounting to 10,000 shares. Unfortunately for the sellers, they will not be able to produce their stock until the arrival of the next Liverpool steamer, and in the meantime Mr. Drew refuses to loan a share for less than one per cent. per day for its use. The latest loaning rate was % per cent. The price of the stock was 62% in the regular way and 63% cash. ¥. Post, 19th.

She was to have been married in a short time, and her affianced, who had Juss gone to thé funeral of his sister, was called back just im time to see her die. It is supposed that she stepped on @ match on the sidewalk, though of egurse that is only a conjecture.

Goss hired @ small shop on the York rond, near Waverly, ostensibly to carry on his experi- ments. When their plans were perfected, he increased his line of insurance, by taking out icies in the Traveler's and Knickerboo Fhe means of the conspirators did not perm't them to stand the heavy premiums, and it was not until a few weeks before the affair was to come off that the last two were procured, the ‘Traveler's being taken ont January IS, IS72, the Knuickerbocker’s on January 26, 1572; the fire coming off on February ‘on the after- noon of that day Goss and Udderzook went ont to the shop, and on the way purchased a pint of whisky and @ gallon of coal oil,-and borrowed rom Engle, a neighbor. ied e, they went shop. antity of wood wascut, and about dusk 8s took out a glass lamp, that would hold another lamp. nad not been gone long when they saw the shop ina blaze.

Whe atked why he didn't say so before, he said was afraid of making an excitement. Ot about did not bestir themselves, bec ° saw aman rundown the lane from the house as they testified on the stand. THE EXPLANATION of this is eatd to be as follows:—On the after- noon of that day A. ©. Goss hired om Jobn C. Thorne, a veterin prietor of a livery stable, um drove out to the lane near the house. piled the kindling wood over the body, pro- cured from some cemetery or dissecting room, drenched it with coal oil, and set fire to tt. There was no explosion, as those living near testified. E.'S. Goss ran down the lane, jumped into a buggy in waiting and drove y to the Philadelphia depot, it is supposed, where he took the train. There were some ve suspicious circumstan about this that brought out at the trial; the body found had remarkably bad teeth, while Goss had an un- usually fine set; the halr was of adifferent color, and there were other points where there was 1 resemblance. The agent of an insurance cou- ny insisted that the watch and other articles Belong! to Goss should be found. Search had been made the day after the fire and on other oocasions without finding those articles, and it was reserved for Mr. C. Goss to find the watch, two chains, ® bunch of keys, & tape-iine case, and a single-barreled pock- et pistol a week or ten days after. There were extraordinary phenomena connected with — a — Be wd ot the watch ly melted, w! e brass of the ta a aoe had not, although it is more ibis ‘rosibie. ‘Some hair that was cutoff ex- ited other singular enomens. At the trial, Mrs. Goss testified that “she eut off a small quantity of his (the dead body's) hair, but when she went to look for it a few days later it was nothing but powder; it must have been touched =A e fire.” This was an impos- sibility. If hi @ lock of hair was burned, that part frizzles up at once and goes into pow- der, while the rest is the same as before. Not- withstanding these and other facts, the jury td a verdict ges the company, doubtless ing influenced by the popular | prejudice against corporations, a feeling that was ap- pealed to strongly by the attorney for the plaintiff, in order to gain his case. It is not mown exactly what were the subsequent movements of Goss, but it is believed that he kept up communication with his family, through A. C. Goss. Developments may soon ex that will throw light upon tuis comp! web of fraud and deceit. A STARTLING CHAPTER OF CRIME. The Sun this morning publishes accounts from three correspondents—first, as to investigations instituted by the local authorities in connection with the agents of the insurance companies terested in the risks on the life of W. S. Goss; second, investigations instituted by the agents or representatives of the compantes in connec- tion with Mr. Pennypacker, theit counsel; and lastly, the latest and most important discoveries, revealing the supposed whereabouts and iden- tification of W. S. Goss with one A. C. Wilson, boarding privately in Delaware county, Pa.,on the application and through the agency of Ud. derzook, as shown by Udderzook’s letters; also the particulars of the arrest of A. C. Goss, brother of W.S. Goss, deceased, and the reason therefor, as detailed’ in the statement of Mr. Pennypacker, together with testimony tending to show the identity of W. S. Goss with the body found in Chester county. The results so fat form @ startling ehapter in the history of this notable case. THE ARREST OF A. C. GORS. ‘The Sun, in noticing the arrest of A. C. Goss in that city, says :—Goss is «prepossessing look- ing young wan, about thirty years old, of slight build, rather under the m-dium size, and fas dark hair, moustache and small side whiskers. He is salesman in Stevens’ furniture establish- ment, No.3 South Calvert street. He was at- tended to the station-house and visited after- wards by several gentlemen of influence and means who knew him well, and evmced a friendly interest in th@oung'man. His arrest was effected in consequence of a telegram from Mr. Pennypacker, the lawyer for the insurance companies in Chester county, to Gov. Whyte, received yesterday.

ACartion por Lips Insurance © NIES.—Owing to the extreme preeautions insurance companies generally take to protect themselves in the wording of fbeir policies it is by many persons considered almost a hopeless undertaking to enter into a legal controverty with them when a misunderstanding arises about payments. The Hartford Times, how- ever, tells of a case in which the JEtna Life In surance Company was obliged to pay $2,000 o1 a policy which never was issued and which it in tended not to issue. A.xpecial agent took the a lication of aman named Taft, st Prairie du Chien, Wis., and sent it to the general agent, who forwarded it to the home office.

REPRESENTATION IN Onlo.—According tothe Columbus correspondent of the Cincinuat: En- quirer, the committee on legislative apportion- ment in the constitational convention of Ohio have agreed to s*opt the cumulative or IMiinois system of election for state senators, and to a limited or extent also for i*mbers of the House. The Senate is to be composea f 35 members, which is about the present numbc' Three of ‘them are to be elected by the state at large, and the remaining thirty in ten districts, three in a district. In the House they propose the principle of county representation, but in counties having more than one member’ the cus mulative system is adopted. The cumulative system is simply this:—In « strong party dis trict, either democratic or republican, the mi- nority would nominate but one man, print his name three times on the ticket, and thus he would bo elected if the minority numbered more than one-third of the voters. The major- ty of the people would elect the other two.
