The mask found near the body of Miss Bail
was brought here to-day. 1t was fastened togeth-
er with birch withes, in such way as to tit the
head of the wearer making a complete mask for
the head of the wearer. Birch withes were fonndi
in the path leading to the spot where the body. OF
the Ball girl was found. On the day following
the discovery Of the Langmaid girl at Pembroke, q
birch withe was found tied around pine tree
close to where the body was found La Page is
said to be an expert in making withes. He had
been known to chase girls at st. Adams. 1t is
said he left there TO GO to Suncook without any
os.ensible business In her story told to the eth
GERS to-day, his wife stated that be had made at
tempts to ravsh his daughter, aged Is years
since living i'll Suncook, but was prevented by
her interference.
She states that they have all been afraid Of their
Lives. She processes to know nothing that mpli-
Gates him in the crimes at St. Adams and Penn
broke, though after what has happened, she con-
sders that he was capable of committing both.
She says that the shirt which he wore on the dav
of the Pembroke murder is ms iEg; that she
washed it, but noticed nothing lbeut j: &C, p.
that one sleeve was torn. 1t was taken from the
line she says.
The detectives describe Mrs. La Page as q
woman heart-broken and worn out by grief and
abuse. La Page denies all knowledge OF the mnr-
ders, and claims that he made no attempt to es-
cape from jail in this city. He says that the
bricks had been taken from his cell wall before he
was placed in it. He was heard digging the
bricks out, however, by some persons connected
with the Jail.
Detectives Sargent Dearborn, llldreth and
City MAJ shal Cornell, are actively engaged in
working up the case. They express confidence
and the belief that La Page Is the murderer OF
josie Langmaid.

nation Of tlre River.
Yesterday Mr.. Chas. Hume and Mr.. Ed. Gctch-
ell made thorough examination Of the bottom CT
the river contiguous to the city wharves, search
ing for the body of the missing Clarp girl but the
search was abandoned as fruitless. Several ofthe
booms have been examined with the same fruit
less results. Mr.. Sas w. Wyman yesterday sent
word to Capt. Houdlette Of Richmond, asking to
have men placed ON the lookout on the river in
that place. Physicians are Of the opinion that If
the river chosen as the place Of suicide suii-
cient time has not elapsed for the rising of the
body; as the GOODNESS of the water would retald
the process of decomposition. AS body in the
water decomposes it fills with gas, which causes
it to move, and it may drift about for day or two
before coming to the surface. Rivermen say that
bodies almost invariably sink directly in the spot
where they go down. and very rarely move until
the process Of decomposition begins.
Every day or two, new theory has been adj
vanced concerning the disappearance, but every
known theory has been followed up and finally
exploded VIII to-day develop another theory
that will furnish tangible clue, or must the pub
lie finally settle down with the distressing idea
that human being may be blotted from existence
in our very midst, and the community remain as
ignorant of the blow that fell as they are Of the
whereabouts of the poor body that has so sudden
" vanished from their sight?

The jury who had the case Of Mrs. Paine against
the city Of Augusta, reported on the opening of
the court this morning that they were unable to
agree.
The Judge could find no case ready for trial,
and discharged the juries till Monday. The court
adjourned till to .morrow morning, when it is ex.
pected that the grand jury will make their final
report.
An item in the Daily this morning excited as
tonishment-that informing the public that an In
dctment had been found against John Evertson
for embczzement, and that a reQuistion from the
Governor would be applied for to secure his cap
ture in another State. The culprit and his friends
and confederates are thus furnished with just The
notice they may want to enable him to eludc pur
suit. The jurors were not only sworn, but dis.
tincty admonish by the court to keep secret all
transactions in the grand jury room. The county
attorney also specially requested the clerk not to
divulge the finding Of the jury in this case. Who

Symptoms Of Catarrh.


Dull heavy headache, obstruction Of the nasal
passages, discharges falling from the head into
the throat, sometimes profuse, watery, and acrid,
at others, thick, tenacious, muscous purulent
bloody and putrid; the eyes are weak, watery, and
infamed; there is ringing in the ears, deafness,
hacking or coughing to clear the throat, expecto-
ration Of offensive matter, together with scabs
from ulcers; the voice is changed and has nasal
twang, the breath is offensive smell and taste are
impaired there is sensation of dizziness, mental
depression, hacking cough, and general debility.
Only few Of the above named symptoms are,
however likely to be present in any one case.
There Is disease more common than Catalrh,
and none less understood by physicians.
DR.. SAGE's CATARRH REMEDY
is beyond all comp arisop, the best preparation
for Cata,rh ever discovered. Under the influence
of its mild, soothing and healing properties, the
disease soon yields. The Golden Medical Discov-
cry should be taken to correct the blood which is
always at fault, and to act specifically upon the
diseased glands and lining membrane of the nose.
The Cstarrh Remedy should be applied warm with
Dr.. Pierce's Nasal Douche-the only instrument
by which fluids can be perfectly injected to all the
passages and chambers of the nose from which dis
charges proceed

that we were unable to detect any eonfederacy or

principles to produce results far more
wonderful than the so-called spiritual phenomena,
besides explaining how such may be produced
