Arrest Of the Nathan Murderer
Str0ng Circuna stuntiaL Evidence.

New YORK, Sept. 25.-Frances j: Kepling
who was arrested yesterday at Schuylkill
Haven, Penn, for the murder OF Mr.. Nathan
and brought to this city to day, made his first
appearance at Schuylkll Haven Aug. 18th,
the day after the murder, and took quarters at
Epting's Hotel. Almost his first remark was
asking the landlord if he heard anything
about the Nathan murder He seemed rest
less and troubled. He could not sleep at night
and at length admitted to boarder in the
same house that he was within four feet of Ma
than when be was hit, that he ,Kepling) had
the dog in his hand short time before the
murder was committed, that he knew where
the dog was purchased, that Nathan dropped
he was hit the first blow and that he could at
any time lay his hand on the murderer. He
was urged to go to New York and lay this in
formation before the authorities, but refused,
saying that if certain party did not do the
right thing he would blow it in short time.
Since this confession he has been very reticent
and refuses to admit anything, but close sur
vell!ance has since wound around him fearful
cham OF circumstances He is known to have
pawn tickets for diamonds and jewelry in his
possession, and some bloody clothes half
washed. He has been in constant correspOn-
dence with some par ties, and has received from
them letters and money from time to time. He
claims to have been bartender at saloon on
the corner OF Broadway and Blocker streets,

KATHERINE AND PETRUCHIO.-The theatre
on Saturday evening was filed with large
and apprecative audience, it being the last
evening of the engagement of Wyzeman Mar
shall, the sterling actor whom Portland is al
ways glad to welcome. The first play was
Shakspeare's extravagant but enchanting COM
edy Katherine aud Petruchio, or Tanning
the Shrew." Shakespeare must have been
amused with his own comedy, it is so complete
ly over wrought and sarcastic, but yet cit
points moral and teaches a serious lesson
which manageable individuals would do we'll
to consider. Wyzeman Marshall as Petruchio,
the apparently ferocous, bold and tyrannical
ioVer' was capital, although, perhaps, OCCASION
| ally rather too severe, yet we consider his Sat-
urday evening one of his best efforts, It was
indeed refreshing and dsshiug, the audience
| giving him their hearty plaudts. Miss Fannv
| Herring as Katherine, the defiant. wilful,
feared daughter of Baptista, whom no lover
| could ever before woo and win," was excel.
| lent She is at home in spirited comedy, and
| she acted the saucy, hea1strong Kate finely.
| In the closing act where Katherine is tanned
| and becomes gentle, loving, dutiful wife and
| Petruchio declares he only assumed the char
| acter of passionate austerity that he might
more easily conquer Sweet bonny Kate" the
acting was prettily done, and the epiogue
closed upon charming tableaux Of domestic
felicity" Shakespeare was wag and woman 8
rights was cute theme for his magnificent
pen. Mr.. L. II. Burns as Grumio was droll
and funny enough, and Mr.. C. L. Farwell as
via baptista and Mr.. T. Fl. Bingham as the
suffering Tailor deserve especial praise
In the second piece, ''The Adopted Child" a
Deauti'ui nautical drama, Mr.. Marshall as
Michael the old fisherman, was capital in his
make up, and he acted it most effectively bpt
we thought he was rather extrayapant in soma
OF his stage action. The bluff noble old salt
was, however. a glorious picture. Miss Hottie
Willis as Nell looked charmngly and acted ac.
ceptably. Mr. 9. l.. FarweIl as Record tho
sly old steward, was good.
We were glad to notice that promnt eff,r,s
were ready 10 maintain good order. which ia a
great advs ntage in securing desirable and GOOD
sized audiences.

DEATH OF JABEz SAwIN-We notice in the
Bangor Wing the recorded death of Jabez
Sawin OF Augusta at the age of &c. Mr.. Sawin
or JADE the name by which he was univer-
sally known, was one of the old school of STAGE
drivers now almost extinct that flourished in
this state In ante-rai'road mes-apd he was
one OIL the best known of his class. His over.
flowing good nature, his quick wit and snark-
ling repartee and fondness for story.tellina and
innoecnt practical jokes made him great "a
vorite with the travellers of quarter Of =, oaa
tury ago, and when "Jabe' was on tho r.
there was demand for outside seats. His ronta
was from Portland to Augusta, and he will he
long remembered by hundreds who epioyed his
quaint humor After Jabe's occupation on the
box departed, he tried California life awhile
and returned home to wait upon the travelling
public in different capacities in connection
with the railroads and steamboats,. Somehow
the life Of our modern stage-drvers has not
the romance of those of the old regime, per
haps because the excitement of sthe present
methods of land travel eclipses that of the stage
coach; but however that may be, we like te
cherish the memory OF the men who held sway
over little kingdoms, and regret the dropping
out OF one of them as loss of a part and par
Gel of "good old times"

PORTLAND THEATRE, To NIGHT.-Determin-
ed to keep up constant array of fresh attrac-
ton, Messrs. Leslie ard Locke announces that
this evening in their new play of "Trodden
Down." Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins, we'll known
to theatrcal-goers, will commence an engage
ment Their initial performance at the Broad
way Theatre, in New York, was ''Trodden
Down." of which an exchange says:
At Barney Williams broadway Theatre a
decided Improvement has been perceptible, ow-
Ing to the great attractions of Mr.. and Mrs.
watkins. They are unquesto2aby good and
Mr.. Watkins, especially, is an admirable COM
edian, of original stamp, blen ding his con edy
| with bathOs and a terrible energy seldom
| found united on the stage, though seldom apart
in nature: 1t is not too much to say that in
the new drama. "Trodden Down." he plays the
part OF the Shingawn as well as it can be play
ed, and that he Hills the three acts with a life
and vig0r to which we have been unaccustom-
ed of late.
Rose Watkins, too, is a fiae actress, her &C.
ton and reading excellent, and she rises a
critical moments to true tragic power. In her
defiance of Wolf, when she brands him as
liar and traitor, her acting evoked a roar of ap
plause, which broke spontaneously from pit
| and dress circle.

BULLY jim FISK, following up his brutal
assault on Max Maretzek, has sent a scurrlous
letter to all the New York papers, in which he
denounces Max as swindler and charges him
with having defrauded Jim out of $4,000, in
connection with the engagement and importa-
ton from Europe of an opera troupe. Nearly
all the papers decline to publish it, characteriz-
ing the production tissue of false hoods. The
impudence of Fisk in calling anybody a
swndler and putting on the air of in.
jured innocence that he does is the most re.
markable thing of the season. The wrong is
all on his side, and if he has any cause Of
grievance a jury will give him all the redress
he deserves. But we regard him public
nuisance that ought to be suppressed, and be
is in fair way to be so disposed of.
