THE NATHAN MURDER.
Count JOannes' Extraordinary Sensation
and Discovery Of the Murderer.
[From the New York San ]


| The intelligence that the murderer OF
Benjamin Nathan has been discovered,
that the'evidence against him, though cir
cumstantial, is clear and convincing, and
| that he is now in the hands of the authori-
| ties, though arrested for a different offense,
cannot be read without thrill of excite
ment by even the most apathetic and in
credulOus.
This discovery is due to the skill and de-
termination of the well known counselor
and advocate, Count Joannes. Following
step by step, with remarkable perseverance,
clue that had fallen into his hands, he
seems to have entirely cleared up the mys-
terry. The assassin entered Mr.. Nathan g
house as burglar, for the purpose of plum
dering it. Mr.. Nathan was asleep. The
noise of the intruder awoke him. Sup
posing it to be one of his sons, he said,
Harmon, is it you?"
These were his last words. The robber
at once became a murderer, striking the
old man dead with the iron dog, or, as he
called it, the "rung." Mr.. Nathan was
killed in order that the burglar might not
be detected, arrested and punished. The
blow was struck by left-handed man,
whose right hand had been mutilated, SO
that when, covered with blood, he laid it
on the wall of Mr.. Nathan's room, it left
there the mark of a hand with only four
fingers. That man, we are assured is now
in custody.
The testimony presented by Count joan
nes settles forever the question, SO shock
ing to every human feeling, whether any
of Mr.. ,Nathan's family were in any way
implicated in his murder. 1t shows that
they were all perfectly innocent in thought,
as we'll az in deed; that the crime was the
work exclusively of a professional gobber,
who had accomplices. This evidence will
be most grateful, not only to the relatives
of the murdered man, but to all persons
whose hearts are not as wicked as that of
the murderer himself

wisdom of am Old Traveller.

Always check your baggage before start
ing; but if you lose your check afterwards
you might as well have saved yourself the
trouble.
If you have some solid hand-baggage
with you, be careful and place it in the
rack securely. A passenger neglected to
do this, and it fell with great force on the
head of his mother-in-law, with whom he
had some trouble.
Always buy your ticket from an author
lied agent before getting on the car but
If you have to pay the conductor for your
passage, do not stop to tell him all the
reasons why you are travelling. He would
not care about that, although he may be a
sympathizing man.
To all men / would say: Never look
out of the window when the cars are 10
motion with your hat ONT might be
blown of--and never look out of window
with you hat on 10 the dark, because your
head might run against the parapet of a
bridge, or water-crane, &c.
Do not always be wanting to compare
your time with the conductors, and ask
ing him how much you are slow neither
ask him frequently if he is on time; or if
he is not, when he expects to be. A con-
ductor Is not an angel
Always be considerable with your fellow
passenger, and if you are travelling with
the tailor whom you owe for your last new
suit of clothes, do not let him sit in the
draft of the window.
Some people say that in the event of an
accident 1t is best to sit in the rear car
and others would prefer the centre car
and others would like to sit well forward
Such is the difference of opinion. But if
you were to ask me which / would choose,
should say let me sit in my armchair at
home.
Do not go from one car to another while
the train is in motion, unless your life is
insured but even If it is, it is not right to
risk nipping yourself in the bud.
The rule Of most lines is not to allow
passengers to stand on the platform. Some
evade 1t by sitting down; but of the two,
as man and father, would rather be in
side the car.
1t costs railroad company as much to
sweep out the leavings of some as they
pay for their tickets. If you mukt eat
peanuts and apples, put the. shells and
parings in your hat, or else throw them
out of the window, but mind you do not
hit the station-master.
Never speak in a loud voice on board a
train. 1t would be awkward if the train
suddenly stopped for you to be heard say
ing: mo, sir, by the Eternal, I'll shoot
him first and get divorce afterwards"
