NardeIIO's Other Murder.

Antonio Nardcllo, alias Rosso, the
Italian who murdered Carmine Ro-
tunno recently in this city, has been
conclusively connected with second
murder. AS stated in THE CRITIC a
few days ago, the police received infor-
nation that he was suspected of muir
deriug Antonio De Baldo in Northwest,
Cecil County, Md. He was seen in
company with the man on the night of
November 10, 1884, and De Baldo's
dead l'Ody was found In snow drift
several months later. Dc Baldo had
been murdered and robbed of his money
and watch. Detectives Raif and Block
got this information from an Italian in
this city after the murder of Rotunno.
Major Dye had photograph Of the
murderer sent to Northwest for identiti-
cation as the man seen with De Baldo
the day he was murdered. He received
reply that the photograph represents
the party seen with De Baldo. There
is also additional proof Of his guilt sent
here by II son OF the murdered man.
lie says that Nardello lived there after
the murder without working and had
plenty of money. He also states that
Nardell0 went to Baltimore, where he
followed and found the watch Of his
dead father in the possession Of another
Italian, who said he bought it from
Nardello. This occurrence is given as
the reason that Nardcllo took the name
of "Rosson while in this city.

THE VIRGINIA CONTEST.
what General Lee Has 10 Say OF
MIR. wise and the CAMPAIGN.

MIR. wise and the Campaign.
General Fitzhugh Lee, Mayor Smith
Of Richmond, Major Goodloe Of the
army and several other Southern gen.
tlemen were In conversation In a parlor
of the St. James Hotel when a New
York Times reporter was introduced to
General Lee.
"Have you read an interview reported
by the Atlanta Constitution, in which
your opponent speaks rather severely
of the Democratic party of Virginia,
yourself and the PLATFORM" he was
asked.
YES" was the reply, III have noticed
Wise has been talking at Atlanta, aud
the substance, or may be all that he
said, sent to New York. 1t used to be
that when Malone and his crowd
wanted to talk to the outside public
about Democrats they did SO through
the Washington Republican, and later
they found willing spirit in the I'M
charitable columns of the New York
Tribune. Isee that Wise declares him
self pleased with my nomination. That
phrase was cut and dried before the
nominating convention, and would have
been applied TO the nominee, whoever
he CHANGED to be. expected his pre-
tense of being pleased, and | now an-
ticipate his disapprobation when shall
have been elected"
"Mr. Wise claima that he will re-.
ceive l20 600 colored votes out of q to
tai of us 900, aud from $4,000 to co..
600 white votes"
Eyes, and by the assertion informs
the world with characteristic folly that
he expects to be elected by the negroes.
His figures are ridiculous. Why. when
Wise ran for Congress from the Safe
at large he received only Is votes less
than 100000, and the vote of Cameron
for Governor was only ll3 ,473. Since
then matters have changed consider
ably. Last November the old, the new
white. Republican party, and The ne
groes gave Bl,ine 139,413. believe.
Now. the Presidential election invari.
ably brings out far larger colored vote
than our State ell ctious dc, aud, more
over, tn re are mauy old Republicans
who will not support WISE"
"Will You meet Mr.. Wise on the
stump"
The campaign will b. conducted I'M
der the direction of the Democratic
State Committee. 1t has not been Gus
tomary of late years to have joint dis
cussions, p sumably because feeling
has run high and in some instances
bloodshed has followed. This all Dem
ocrats deplore and desire to avoid. The
committee will, think, not agree to
Joint discussions for the reason l have
given, and possibly, also, because the
vast majority of the opposition party is
made up of persons whose votes cannot
be affected by speeches"

Lemp's Celebrated Beer.

The reputation Of Lemp's st. Louis
beer is so widely established that its in
PRODUCTION to general use at the Ma
tional Capital is a matter Of no difficulty,
especially in the hands of so energetic
and enterprislng an agent as Mr.. Chris.
Abner. For many years past Lemp IS
beer has not only occupied foremost
place among consumers at home, but
has been largely exported to Mexico,
the West Indies and other foreign
countries. The lovers Of malt beverages
pronounce 1t excellent beyond compar-
ison in all the qualities of a pure and
wholesome beer, unsurpassed as tonic,
and retaining its superior flavor in any
climate. The breweries are among the
most extensive in the world, and the
greatest care is taken to keep the pro-
duct up to the highest and best
standard.

THE RIVER FRONT.
Major Hains' Monthly Report ON
the improvements

Major Peter G.. Hams, in charge OF the
Potomac River and hatbor improve
ment, has submitted his report OF oper-
ations during July to the Chief of Engi-
neers. Dredging continued In the Vir-
ginia channel, above Long Bridge. The
gravel and stones encountered during
June had seriously damaged the dredge.
but during July the material dredged
was almost exclusively sand. Work on
the Washington channel progressed
without serious interruption. The west
side OF the channel has been dredged
for width of 200 feet and depth of
20 feet along the city wharf front, be-
tween the Long Bridge and the line of
South N street. The remaining $50
feet of width next the wharvos will be
dredged during the fall and winter.
The third hydraulic dredgc, much
more powerful than either of the other
two, is expected TO be completed and
ready to commence operations by Sep
TENDER l.. The second contract with +.
G.. Somcrs for dredging an embank-
mcnt along the Washington channel
below Long Bridge has been completed
and closed. The contract with +. Wander
werken for the delivery of rip-rap stone
has also been closed. The channel
from Giesboro Point to Georgetown is
now 300 feet wide and 20 feet deep, and
Is to be further widencd The Wash
ngton channel below the bridge has
been widened and deepened for about
1000 feet. About four-iifths Of the
marshes have been raised above the
ordinary high tide level. The dredg-
ing aud other operations continue duri-
ing August. Work continues on the

The GARBAGE MAN WANTED

NEARING COMPLETION.
FrescO Painters TO Begin Work on
the National Theatre This Week.

The National Theatre, which was
totally destroyed by fire last February,
says the correspondent of The New York
Herald, is rapidly approaching com.
pletion in accordance with plans made
by McElfatrick Of New York, who is
now regarded as the leader in theatre
architecture in the United States. The
cost OF the new structure, erected on the
old site, will be about 100000. The
seating capacity over the old house is
Increased 200, so that over 800 sittings
will be divided between the orchestra
floor, balcony and gallery. The seats
are so arranged that those on the sides
nearest the proscenium boxes command
complete view Of the stage, so that a
person can be seen In the middle OF the
stage. This theatre has been destroyed
by fire three times.
The plan of construction now is to
entirely cut off the stage from the au
ditorum by fireproof walls, iron doors
ard curtain Of asbestos. In addition,
an engine is a1d,d to the fixtures of
the house, which will throw stream
$50 feet. The work on the interior is
so far advanced that the fresco painters
are to begin this week to ornament the
ceiling. The gallery and balcony are
ready for tue chairs. The front of the
theatre is entirely changed from the
old plan. 1t will be five stories high
and the length increased twenty feet
by arching the alley and covering the
adjoining site, also owned by Mr.. Rap
ley, the proprietor Of the theatre. The
arch OF the stage is fifteen feet higher
than before, and the scene painters
have already completed several of the
set pieces.
The first Monday in October is the
time fixed for the reopening, but the
building will be ready long before that
Nine. Rhea is to appear on that night.
The new National, with Albaugh's OPP
era-House, which opened last fall, will
give theatre-goers in Washington better
facilities than they have ever had be-
fore, in keeping, too, with the increase
of population patronziug the opera and
