The Nathan Murder. 2 b a =

The Nathan Murder.
The mystery of the Nathan murder con-
tinues without clue for its solution and its
absorbing topic Of popular comment and
conversation. The rewards offered for the
detection of the murderer now amount in the
aggregate, to nearly $4,000, and the de-
tectives are already beginning to work
against each other desiring to obtain the full
amount A description of the missing watch
and studs has been telegraphed to all the
leading cities in the Union. and Judge Car
doz and other prOmine mt citizens are active
ly cooperating for the discovery and arrest
of the criminal. The theory seems to be
gaining ground that the murder was COM
mitted by some one who was familiar with
the house, and perhaps one of the regular
inmates; while Sunday paper openly charg-
es and devotes two columns to the support of
the theory that Washington Nathan, a son
of the deceased, is the murderer. H....s-
WIN. Kelley, son of the house-keepsF, was
examined for two hours yesterday, but his
testimony is kept secret. 1t is alleged that
he was bounty jumper during the war.
Two carpenters who were employed in the
house, were also examined, one stating that
he mislaid his hammer just before leaving
work Thursday night, and after searching
the house over for it, finally found it in the
RdTTel, tiOuRH Uc tOuIu uOt sWcdI tHdt no
one was concealed in the house at that time.
The fact that no noise was heard in or around
the house on the night of the murder, was
fully explained by the testimony the build
er, that the walls and floors were deadcned,
and yesterday it proved by experiment,
that the loudest cries from a person standing
where Nathan's body was found, could not
be heard by men in the rooms occdpied by
the sleepers. .,. .
All the rear windows and entrances have
been thoroughly examined by the police, and
were found carefully fastened, and evidently
undisturiied. The murderers were careful
and complete in the removal OF traces of
blood by the use of the bath. No marks of
blood stains except those made by
/ Nathan. Jr., on the discovery of the crime
! directs suspicion to the inmates of the house.
| 1t is said that the sons of Nathan are fast
and extravagant in living, Washington hav-
ing been once arraigncd in the police court
on the charge of stealing diamonds of the
woman with whom he was living. and on
whom he was spending 100000 year.
The safe of the late Mr. Nathan was opened
yesterday, and was found to contain the
jewelry of his deceased wife and his will
which has not yet been opened by the family
Mr.. Nathan's funeral will be held tomorrow
and will be attended by the members of the
stock exchange in body.

The game of base ball between the Dirigos
of this city, and the North Star club of Port
land, for the championship, interrupted on
Friday by the rain, was commenced over
again Saturday forenoon. Game was called
little past nine, the Dirigos leading off at the
bat, and making Q runs to the Stars runs.
The Pitcher of the Stars then commenced
pitching "drop" balls, and the Dirigos not
being used to this, only scored runs in the
next two innings, while their opponents scored
4, the score then standing Dirigos l2,
Stars 10. Becoming in measue accustomed
to drop" balls the Augusta boys in the next
two innings made Is runs to the Stars Z.
From this time the Stars seemed to have
given up all hopes of winning the game,
playing very loosly. In the next three
innings they were ''whitewashed," and the
Dirigos by heavy batting, aad the help of bad
fielding by their opponents, made l3 runs,
score now being 40 to II in favor of the Au-
gusta boys. On the last inning the Dirigos
were sent to the field with runs, and the
Stars went in hoping to be able to make runs
enoughso as not TO be beaten two to one
The Dirigos played careless, and the Stars
scored runs, ending the game in favor of
the Augusta boys, by a score of 49, to 2s.
The Dirigos done some splendid batting
but did not play their "outs" quite as well as
usual, although some splendid fly catches
were made and two double plays BY Parker.
Moore, lst base of the Dirigos, filled that
position in creditable manner and as bat
ter has no equal on the nine. Scruton, Capt.
of the Dirigos, is brilliant player and by the

The Liquor BiIl.

The proposed new license law passed to
third reading in the House last week. 1t
was SO amended as to submit the question Of
"icense" or "no license" to a vote of the
people of an entire county, instead of to the
people of borough, ward or township, as
was provided in the original bill. We judge
that the bill will fail to become a law.
We are one of those who believe that nei-
ther the people of State, nor If any county
in State, car be le9iSlated into blissful
state of temperance. The Legislature may
enact law after law on this sutject-it may
pile Pelion on Ossa-and yet the desired end
will not be attained. The experiment has
heretofore been tried in other States and in
certain localities in our own State, and has
resulted in lamentable and disastrous failure.
AS long as ardent spirits continue to be man
ufactured. men may lie dissuaded from their
use and induced neither to touch, taste nor
handle. but that much sought after and de-
sirable result never has been and never will
be accomplished by legal enactments, how
ever stringent or severe.
II this question is to be fairly tested, lot
our moral reformers at Harrisburg pass the
Maine liquor law and submit it to vote Of
the people Of the entire State. That would
be the straight forward aud honest way of
lsgislating on this question.
