DUBLIN, MONDAY.
THE MURDER OF MR. LITTLE.
Very little has transpired since Friday in the
shape of facts calculated to throw any fresh light
upon the mystery of the Broadstone murder.
Rumours there are to no end of the discovery of

new links in the evidence connecting some person
or another with a knowledge of the crime ; but
people have ceased to place auy faith iii these re-
ports, which, for the most part, are contradicted
with the same rapidity as they are circulatad. The
private investigation before Mr. Keinenie continues
from day to day without scarcely an hour's intaedr--
mission, anti was proceeding. yestercley at an
vanced hour in the afternoon.

following items of intelligence are taken from this
morning's papers :
" The investigation of the circumstances eeinnected
with this murder continued nearly all Friday night, and
was resumed by Mr. Kemmis early on Saturday morn•
jnee From 7 o'clock on Friday evening up to several
hours past midnight 20 of the detective police were
working with the most praiseworthy zeal to try and ob-
tain every particle of available information, and at one
period on Saturday night a very slight link of evidence
appeared only wanting, to justify the arrest on suspicion
of one of the company servants. Anonymous commu•
nications are pouring in, some giving hint,, and others
all but naming the assassin ; and one thing is certain,
that the circle round the guilty party or parties is
every hour becoming more oircumscrit;ed, and not a
particle of doubt rests on the minds of the investigators
at the present moment of the murderer being a per-
son employed on the railway. The proceedings at the
investigation on Saturday sere even mars strictly pri•
vate than on Friday. The police have received inetruc,
tions to keep all persons off the premises who have
not actual business to transact connected with the rail-
way or those who are called on to give evidence at the
investigation. Rumours of all kinds relative to this
murder were in circulation through the city yesterday,
but not one of them had the slightest foundation in fact.
Up to the present no arrest has taken place. Saturday
evening, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Horeman, M.P., Chief Se-
cretary for Ireland, accompanied by Colonel Browne,
visited the' terminus, and was conducted through the
building by Alderman Boyce. He examined minutely
every part of the room where the murder was committed,
and expressed himself most anxious for the discovery of
the murderer. The investigation, which was resumed
by Mr. Kemmis on Saturday, continued during the
day, and did not terminate until nearly 5 o'clock yester-
day morning. The Crown Solicitor, Mr. Superintendent
Guy, and the detective police under their direction, are
unceasing in their efforts, and, notwithstanding the ad-
vanced hour at which the investigation concluded yes-
terday morning, it was again resumed in the course of
the day, when several new witnesses were examined, and
others re-examined. So strictly private is the manner
in which the proceedings are carried on it is utterly
impossible to obtain any information that can be well
relied upon. The police appear to be over anxious to
keep from the public any facts which have come to their
knowledge, which may be given without any fear of
compromising the ends of justice. On the contrary, it
is generally believed if there was publicity given to some
matters with which they are acquainted they would de-
rive a vast amount of information and many useful cog
gestions. Up to a late hour last night the police were
seat in every direction to make inquiries and glean in-
formation that could be brought to bear on the parties
suspected of the murder. Field, the London detective,
was expected in town on Saturday evening, but has not
arrived up to the present. The investigation will be
resumed this day.
"Surprise has given lace to indignation at the fact
that no reward has yet been offered by Government for
the detection of the murderer. The railway company,
though tardily, offered 2001., and two relatives of ties
deceased have promised a sum almost equal in amount,
and have at their own expense engaged a celebrated Eng-
lish official to investigate the circumstances. Our own
detectives are astute, practised men, and surely, had
they been adequately supported while the trail was, so
to speak, warm, results might have been achieved that
are now at least doubtful. As a proot that the transac-
tion originated in circumstances connected with the esta-
blishment, it is now mentioned that duri. g the first three
months of Mr. Little's connection with the company as
cashier, a sum of from 501. to 801. was taken from 'him.
The medical gentlemen by whom the post-ntortem exa-
mination was made are now of opinion, from the result
of the experiments with the recovered instruments, that
the first blow was inflicted from the side, and not by a
person standing in front as was at fiat supposed. Search
has been diligently made in every quarter by the
police,
in which it was e-reileral reee ftat

but without anything being obtained that would bring
home guilt to any party—a circumstance that craws to
