The Nathan Murder.
New YORK, September THE po-
lice authorities yesterday admitted that
active search is now being made for
Mrs. Irving. the wife OF Irving, the CAL
ifornia prisoner who has confessed
completely in the Nathan murder. So
Tar the search has been unavailiug.
Instead of viewing lrvings confession
as merely ruse to get TO New York,
the police evidently regard it with im-
portapce. Superintendent Watsel, on
looking over the records, finds that
three days after the Nathan murder
Irving was discharged on writ of
habed5 corpus for participating in bur-
glary. The last trace the police have
OF Mrs Irving is in Hoboken, where
she resided few weeks ago. She is
still believed to be on the jersey side
Of the river. The Herald, to-day, from
private information, intimated that
Irving, if brought here, could be induc-
ed to furnish sufficient proof to fix the
crime very closely on two men now con-
fined in jail in this city.

Tue police have received informa.
ton to the effect that the whole amount
of forged bonds intended to be thrown
on the market here and in Europe, by

trated last week, was &. 100000. Frank
Gleason, Andrew Roberts, and Gottleib
Engleq, are said to be principals in the
rorseries which have lately excited
Wall street. Two other noted forgers,
Martha Hargreaves and Walter Sheri-
DAP, lett here lately for Liverpool with
a large amount Of these bonds, which
they have doubtless already placed in
the market. John A. Canton, one OF
the oldest aud most distinguished opera
tors in the forgery business, is implicat
ed. About year ago he was liberated
from Sing Sing. where he had been
Iconfned for q heavy forgery Of United
States and State bills. Engels, Glea-
SOD, and Canton, are believed TO have
done the work OF forgery. Since the
