HOMICIDE AT THE NAVY YARD.--The population
at the Navy Yard was yesterday thrown into state
of high excitement by the consequence of meet
ing between two young men--Daniel w. Jarboe,
aged %, and John Rufus Nally, aged 2O--result-
ing in the shooting OF the latter by the former.
II seems that young Naly had been paying at
tentions to Miss Sarah J. Jarboe, who is about II
years old, and that he had seduced her. 1t also
seems that Jarboe had done everything in his
power to induce Nally to marry his victim, even
telling him that he would support her himself, and
that be did not wish him (Nally) to live with her
day. if he did not wish to do 90. All that he asked
was, that he should make the only PREPARATION in
his power, by marrying her. To this request Nally
utterly refused to accede
Yesterday, during the dinner hour, Jarboe and
his sister called at the house of Mrs. Irwin who
resides near the entrance Of the Navy Yard, and
requested permission to wait the arrival of friend
which request was cheerfully accorded. They
waited there until young Nally, accompanied by
his brother William, came in sight on their way to
work. Jarboe and his sister started out to meet
them and on coming up to them, Jarboe accosted
young Nally with
"What do you intend TO do in regard to her ~
pointing to his sister,
Nally replied, "You will see what will do"
do you intend to marry her" Jsrboe then
asked.
"No, do not was the reply.
Thereupon, Jarboe drew his revolver and shot
Nally, without another word on either side 1t is
said that he then attempted to shoot William Nal
ly also, but was prevented by the interference OF
his sister, who bad been standing near by during
the whole affair. VIM. Nay ran for fear, as he
testified at the inquest of being shot also, but on
seeing his brother stagger, caught him in his arms,
when he died almost instantly
Jarboe, accompanied by his sister, walked coolly
down the street, with the intention of giving him.
self up to Justice Briggs, as he said; but on his
way there he was arrested by officer Willett On
arriving at the office, he confessed to the Justice
that he had shot Nally, and upon that confession
was committed He readily gave up his pistol,
which was five barreled revolver. One barrel was
discharged and the rest were loaded with ball. On
his way to The Jail, he was informed that Nally was
dead, when re seemed very much affected, and
again acknowledged that he had done the deed.
!. Coroner Woodward held an inquest, the same
evening, when verdict was returned in accordance
with the above facts. A post norton examine
ton was also held at the house of Mrs. Nally, by
Drs Dove and McKm. One of them extracted
the ball, which was Of conical shape. 1t is now
in the possession of DR.. McKim. From the exami-
nation, it appears that the ball entered the left
side, passed behind the heart into and through
a large blood vessel, and then passed upward and
lodged near the right shoulder. He must have
died within five minutes after the shot was fired,
