THE NEDERLAND.

The steamer Tovea Safely or Brigan-
time Shoals, and En- Route for Her Doe X
nt Philadelphia.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., April 49, 1874
The storm ragged until after midnight attended by
northeast wind whicn banked the sea SO high that
no wrecking boat could come ashore from the
Nederand. Great anxiety was felt by all parties,
for it is certain that no vessel could stand the
dashing OF the waves until morning. At two O'Clock
the wind suddenly veered around to the north, the
ocean became calmer and before daybreak was
wonderfully quiet. The tug Relief from New
York, stayed out all night long in tine tempest and
storm, her crew doing everything to aid the
stranded ship. AT six O'Clock this morning by
means OF hawsers and q wind That was most
especially favorable, the Nederland was seen
to move tor the distance OF about half
. mile, and then suddenly stop. Alter
the interval OF an hour, during which
time numerous parties clustered around with
neld glasses upon the beach, the ship moved
again, gave a sort Of pitch forward, rolled heav
lily from side TO side and rested on the sea easily,
completely cleared from the shoals and free from
danger. The little tug Relief then took her in tow,
heightened ner hawser until it was 100 fatnoms
long and started opt for Delaware Capes.
The Nederland is helpless without her rudder
and is not very manageable; she rolls heavily and
her hawser appears to be severely strained. Her
progress is very slow, and the Indications are that
heavier seas VIII bank up before evening. The
vessel has greatly suffered, and more OF her cargo
was obliged to be sacrificed. She cannot reach
Philadelphia, it s thought, before Monday morn
ing. There Is much rejoicing here at her relief
upon the part OF al.

IN the ship cannot be accounted for by the
heavy seas, various conjectures are indulged
as 10 tic origin of the leak. It is thought
that the wheat in cargo, getting wet, swelled
and started the rivets, and also that the ships
bottom may have been previously injured

INCIDENTS AFTER RELIEF.
The steamship company gave the passen-
gers money for the relief of their immediate
necessities--the sums being small when COM
pared with their losses in baggage and valu-
ables. Many of the passengers are prostrated
from fatigue and there is one case Of par
alysis.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN.
The French company throws the blame on
the British shipbuilders who heightened and
transformed the old ships of their line bearing
the imperial names-hencs the necessity of
the alteration-but weakened the ships and
impaired their seaworthiness

TOTAL PROHIBITION.
Preliminary Meeting for the Formation
OF n Tempera nee Political Party.

Preliminary Meeting FOR the Formation
OF "A Tempera nee Political Party.
A slimly attended temperance meeting was held
last evening at De Garmo Hail. Filth avenue and
Fourteenth street, c. o. Leigh presiding and
stephen Merritt, Jr., acting as Secretary. THIS
meeting was however, not intended to be strictly
public one, the purpose at present being to hold
a lew preliminary meetings before inviting the
pubic generally to attend. The object Of the pub
lie meetings will be to seek to form political
party which shah be pledged to secure legislation
favor vi the total prohibition of sale OF all in
toxlcatng liquors. 1t has been found that the
publican party has been quite as bad as the
democratic party In Its subservencv to the liquor
sellers influence. and the last plank, therefore, lett
10 the friends OF temperance is that Of legislation
in lav0r OF total prohibition. The liquor sellers
having combined IN a powerful organization to
protect and advance their own interests II is now
round impossible TO get any legislator IN this State
to oppose them for were any politician to do 1t
would be to MIN certain pohtlcal death. The lour
Senators who last year opposed the bill inc0rp0-
rating the Liquor Mems Association were all de-
leated when they stood Tor reelection. This unity
on the part Of the liquor sellers is q tremendous
power, and the only way to cope with IL IS to try
TO secure the balance OF votes in favor OF temper
ance. These were the views set forth in the ad-
dresses made at the meeting last evening, the
speakers being Q. e. Leigh, DR.. Law, }. f. Hoey,
General Bunker and stephen Merritt, Jr.

in that way. In short, it was clear she was
leaking badly; but all the attempts Of the
carpenters to find the leak proved vain.
The pumps were worked by the donkey

What Captain Irving Thinks.

During the afternoon HERALD reporter called
upon captain James Irving, Chief OF the Detec-
tive Corps at Police Headquarters, and asked his
opinion In relation to the matter. The captain
said the police authorities were determined to find
out whether any clew was to be obtained by the
discovery of the bloody shirt and had already be-
gun investigating the case. He did not think,
seriously speaking, however, that the tnvestiga-
ton would amount to anything In the end. And
yet it might. The HERALD reporter asked the Cap
!ain II he thought 1t possible the shirt was the
one worn Dy the murderer OF Mr.. Nathan.
-ghe captain only replied by saving that certain
gentleman. who was thoroughly cOnversant with
him tine Captain after inspecting the shirt, that
1t was the same worn by Mr.. Nathan and removed

Detective Phil Farley's Opinion.

eIt does not matter what comes OF this matter,
whether much or little, the causes for the appear
ance Of this article OF clothing in that place must
be investigated" said Detective Farley to
HERALD representative who saw him at Police
Headquarters yesterday afternoon. 1.-THE Chief de-
tailed me to ascertain the reasons for the strange
disappearance of the garment and Its sudden
temperance in such place after
such a length OF time. In the most CON-
monplace murder case such an investigation
would be deemed necessary; hut in great mys.
tery like the Nathan case 1t is essential that every
thing should be known. SO, when 1 was detailed
to take charge Of this new phase Of the case first
went up and looked the premises over carefully.
The men tell very strange story about the
finding Of shirt-strange, because there are
two editions OF 1t. one man asserts that he
found the garment more than two weeks ago in
the basement under the dumb waiter; the other
that he found it on Tuesday last in the carriage
house. Possibly both are correct. Alter obtaining
possession OF the shirt visited
"He identified the handwriting on the neck band
of the garment. This established the TACT beyond
doubt, that the affair was not a sell or JOB,
itself upon some Of us that 1t might be trick Of
some OF the enemies OF young Nathan to further
strange In the fact OF the disappearance of this
whch, Mr.. Nathan met his late, aud Its turning up
now"
EITHER THIS OR THAT.
"Have you any theory2" asked the HEALD
representative.
tThere are two theories. First, the shirt must
have been removed by the undertakers II was
on Mr.. Nathan at the time Of his death. II So,
tney can readily set us on the track. II they
recognize the garment IL does not very much
matter where 1t has been during this long inter-
val Second, IL they or the Coroner do not recog-
nizc the shirt, and are able to swear positively
that the SHIRT Is not the one removed from the
corpse, then the mystery becomes greater than
ever before. 1t will then be necessary to ascer-
tain If Mr.. Nathan was in the habit Of wearing a
scarf around his waist"
"Does not the theory suggest itself that the bur-
glary might have been long under contemplation
apd that the culprit might have provided himself
