NEW YORK.
The WestfieId Exc am in n lion.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-Wm. N. Vanderbilt,
Government Inspector, to-day, made official in
spection of the boiler of the Westfield. He
found the material of boiler good, and iron of
requisite thickness, but discovered a serious
break in the inner casing which evidently had
existed long before the explosion, the outer
edge of the fragment was much brighter than
the inner. and from this and other indications
he has come to the conclusion that the inner
casing was broken either when the boiler was
made, 9 years ago, or gave away subsequently
when subjected to severe test. He expressed
q positive opinion that the boiler has for long
time been held together simply by thin out
side plating and said he was surprised it had
not exploded before This flaw could not have
been detected by any Inspector as the outside
of the boiler was covered with felt and inside
afforded no indications of decay nor could it
have been detected by sounding the boiler.
The Nathan Murderer.
The Times for tomorrow, publishes an ac-
count of the pursuit of Forester the Nathan
murder by detective Pinkerton when police
superintendent Kelso proclamation was issued
offering reward of $4,000 for the arrest of the
murderer The latter was in Chicago. He
subsequently fled to Galveston, Texas, thence
to Scotland, where his parents reside.
Pinkerton followed him to Scotland His
efforts to secure the fugitive's arrest were I'M
successful. but he ascertained beyond doubt
that Forester vas within limits of Great Brit
ain, and his escape next to impossible. The
British police are on the alert, and Pinkerton
considers the murde~ec's capture almost GER
tain, although some time may elapse before it
is effected.

REPORTED ROBBERY. Patrick Ney, who
keeps store in the old Printers Exchange on
Fore street, near Cotton, and lives in the same
building, reported at the police office that at
about half-past eleven he closed his store, lock-
ing the front door on the inside and passing
through door in the rear, which opens into a
passage way in which are flights of stairs lead
ing to the upper stories and also to the yard in
the rear of the building. Just as he was in the
act of mounting the stairs leading to his domi-
cile he was attacked by three men, two of
whom grappled him by the shoulders and pull
ed him over backwards while the third drew
handkerchief tightly over his mouth. Two
others of the party stood in the passage way
by the door. The thieves robbed him of S24O
and watch. The police went to the place and
found the watch in the passage, uninjured, and
also picked up the pocket. book, but 1t was
empty. Every little information to corrobor-
ate the mans story was obtained, as Ney bore
no marks of a scuff1e. One woman said she
heard slight noise at the time and thought it
was an occupant of the house going into the
street.

rnscesr AT OIp ORCHARD BEACH We
| have TO congratulate Mr. Jones upon the sucs
| cess which attended his concert at the Ocean
House. Old Orchard Beach, last evening"
Both of the houses there are well filed with
guests, and he drew from them listeners
enough to fill the plt asaut little Music Hall:
and in the audience were observed quite a
large party of ladies and gentlemen from this
city, friends of the manager and the singers
The musical party consisted of Miss Nellie
Baker, Messrs. Coffin, Turkey, Stockbridge and
Morgan, with Mr.. Charles A. Libby, Jr, as
pianist. The hall is not adapted to vocalisp,,
being too low in the ceiling, and singers labor
under great disadvantage, but it is admirable
for dancing The audience was celdly critical
at first, and it was not until the last piece on
the first part-"Quando di Sangue tinto,'' from
DOnizetti, sung by Messrs. Coffin and Morgan
that the listeners gave any signs of enthusiasm,
and from that to the close the singers were
heartily applauded. Miss Bakers song,
"Homeward," by Abt,was immensely popular,
ana in response to the encore she sang Bird of
the Merry Greenwood charmingly. The pro-
gramme was admirably selected, and The gen.
tlemen sang with their usual good taste, not
withstanding the unfavorable Influences of an
unsuitable room. Mr.. Jones showed himself
good manager, and we understand that he pro-
poses to give the guests at Old Orchard anoth-
er evening entertainment at an early day
After the concert hop was given in the hall,
and the party was large and elegant, the music
being quadrille band connected with the
house.
