The NATHAN MUkpKR.-The New York Pos
Of last evening says OF this mysterious mar-
der:
q There are no new developments to-day an
the sd street murder case. The police are dil-
gently at work, and the detectives have one by
one worked out the various theories set aaOat.
The public interest is sun greatly excited, and
Superintendent Jourdxn N sought by curious
visitors, who wish To CLEAN some little piece OF
fresh intelligence, but he has none 20 give, al
though II does not follow that he Is altogether
in the dark himself because he declines 20 en-
tighten them. One thing rs certain, that no ef-
fort VIII be spared to insure the csptare OF the
criminal No clue, however faint and dubious,
win be overlooked. Apart from the Immense
reward that has been offered asum large enough
TO maintain man in ease and comfort FOR the
rest OF his life, the honor OF the police ~
at stake, and their reputation for asum.n.
Only one arrest has vet been made, that OF wm.
Kelly, the house servant, and he was released
again IN a few hours. The house has been
searched over and over again, in the hope that
something might be discovered. The murderer
must have wiped his hands after committing
the deed, but not a vestige OF a cloth or any
kind that might have been used for the purpose
has been foand. Ii is reported that plumbers
