Hue wss properly cared for. Assistance was obtained and the door of Ruddy's house forced open. Flames burst forth and an alarm of Are was sounded. The flames were quickly extinguished and the bodies of Ruddy and an only child one and one-half years old were found lying on the kitchen floor, both cut in a terrible manner and covered with the contents of a feather bed which had been saturated with kerosene and set on fire.

Kud nine o'clock. At eleven Hamon came into the front room and lked tut the windf.w. saying he was nervous aud could not sieep. I got up and made Urn a cup of tea and went Dark to Uett. At one o no- ramun came into the front room and acted queerly. He went twk into toe kitcnen anil my busbsuid and I got up end he also went Into the kitchen. 1 soon heard s fall, and goinz out round my husband hanging over a chair with his anus down. Hamon started for tne and struck me with the bstcbet on the bead. 1 Krabbed his arm, but be then struck me and threw me to the floor. Hj went into the front room and killed the baby, who was crying. While ho was there I tried to unlock the kitchen door, but ho returned and agatn struck me on the head, knocking me down. I laid perj.ctly quiet. He went back into tbe front room and got the baby and then canto bark aud pxuvd feathers and straw over us and went out. I got up and tried to open the front window but could not.

The Coroner's inquest rendered a verdict that tho persons came to their death at the hands of Thomas Bamnu. Tne latter was arrested this afternoon mmr Plymiuth. lie did not resist arrest, and has been taken in cnarge by Plymouth officers. Huspicion being aroused sgaint Ford, husband of the murdered woman, that he might be implicated in the affair, be wa arrested this forenoon and r-uMiti tn custody. Several suspicious circumstances tend to show his guilt. At Ford's and 8amous there was no evi denee of Mrs. Ford's murder, and It is thought her death was accidental at Ramon' hands, and that, wishing to conceal the body, be took it to Ruddy's, thinking, perhaps, he could carry it from the house during the night; that Ruddy refus-d to assist bim, wnen the struggle ensued. The supposition is that Mr. Ford died either from strangulation or drugging, a she frequently indulged in strong drink. Bamon will he brought to Laconia on Monday for triaL Great eioitemeut prevails, and fears are entertained that a vigilance committee will be organised and the tiruiooer lynch-! upon hia ar rival st the depot. A later report from Plymouth states that Hamon d nivn si I knowledgo of the affair, ami bis arrest is a perfect surprise, beuton has never been regarded as vk-ious, even when intoxicated. At a late hour tonight Mrs. Iiuddv' condition was no worse. ANOTHER TJUIN BOBBEXT. An KxpreeM Train on law nwethenrn Pacific Railway Wreefcesl ansl nwaned by a Pnrtjr ef Hanked Men -The Knots er T.

The passengers were sll either unarmed or perfectly demoralised, and made no attempt to return the fire. Three shots were fired through the mail car, which was entered, but the mall was not touched. From the express car the robber took 8W, and from the conductor, (1. Vail, they took a gold wstch and $K, and from A. (lasheil, of the United states Publishing house.

As the boat bearing the Admiral of tue fleet passed the Tennessee, flag-ship of Admiral Cooier, several ships of the United Mates llred a salute of twenty-one guns, manned their yards and made other demoustrationii customary on such occasions. At noon every steam wbitie in the city began a salute, which was unbroken for five minutes, the time during which it was to last. About nine o'clock President Arthur, accompanied by ex-President Uraut aud General Tarnum, left the Fifth Aeuue Hoel for the point where the head of tiie column was being formed.

Later he was driven off to review the river parade of steamboats, after which he went to the sub-treaaury to witness the unveiling of Washington's statue. Lower Broadway was crowded with a surging mass nf humanity that cheered the President heartily and gave a lusty recognition to Govermir Butler, punctuating it occasionally by cries of Tewkuburv." The nrocession ivouired j four hours to )ss a given point, NotwithI standing the rain, the procession ws the grandest .""lew Tone ass ever preenncen ana v-as witnessed by a vastly greater number of people than any previous nffa'r of the kind. The rain was roatlnuous, and those in the procession got thoroughly wet. There was a continuous roar from the throats of the people while the firemen marched by. The unveiling of the statue of George Washington on the steps of the Treseury was attended by a brilliant company, including the President of the United mate, members of his Cabinet, Mayors of New York and Brooklyn, Bishop P dtor. Rev. Dr. Htorrs, Collector Robertson and William M. Bvarta. George W.
