NATHANIEL MOORE
THE WIFE MURDERER HAS
AT LAST BEEN CAP
TURED.

And is Now Lodged in Jail in This
City Surrounded Him While in
The Barn Loft at his Mothers S
Home.
Daily Argus last Friday.
After securing the woods for
several days past, and being on
the road both night and day for
the greater part of the while,
Sheriff Scott has a: last captured
Nat Moore, the man who cut the
throat of his wife Polly Ann
Moore in a drunken spree on the
night Of the first of August.
After committing the crime, as
everybody knows. Moore made
good his escape and has roamed
the forests ard slept in the
swamps, like the wild beasts,
without leaving any trace of his
coming aud going. Night an /
day he has been hunted and
bounded without rewarding his
pursuers in the least. He seemed
to exercise the cunning of a fox
aud the agility of a panther lu
deceiving his capturers and dis
appearing from their view. It.
is true he had been seen on sew
eral occasions, but each time he
disappeared as completely as if
the earth had opened and swal~
lowed him.
At last Sheriff Scott became
tired of the vain pursuit and
asked the governor to offer re-
ward for his capture. This was
done some days ago, and the
forces for his capture had been
greatly augmented. Night be-
fore last and all the forenoon
yesterday Sheriff Scott, Ex
Sheriff D. A. Grantham and Mr..
Charlie Hurst were close on his
heels. Yesterday afternoon about
3 o'clock they surrounded him in
the loft of a barn at the home of
his mother. There, where he
had spent his boyhood days en>
joying all the many liberties of
the farm life; with his dear old
mother standing by wiping the
scalding tears from her eyes
with feeble hands. and with the
thought in his mind, perhaps,
that he was bidding farewell to
the scenes that once lent iuspi-
ration to his young life and
around which are clustered all
the pleasant memories of his
pow miserable Iife-there it was
that the law pinioned his hands
with the rude clasp of iron
bracelets and he was led forth 20

by an idle crowd as if he were

giles of Africa waiting to be

night hours. Gagged in his iron
cell. will any of the phantoms
that float before his vision on the
whites washed walls of those
silent wards resemble the
ugly, gaping wound that he
placed in the throat of his wife
with that cold blade of steel, and
will the deep quietude of his
lonely confines ever be broken
by that last fearful cry that fell
from her lips?

are reaping a harvest in their work, and
they find that more valuable dogs arr per-

The catches are averaging about thirty

the owners have surrendered their pets
rather than take out license. Those who
desire to get rid of their dogs in this way
can DO so by sending a notice to the police.

now because of the number Of people, in
Guiding many wheelmen, who follow the

is slaughter of dogs at the pound.

Why IN Not the Pavement Laid.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
few months ago the property holders

fences back and bring the terrace fronting
on the property to the grade of the side
walk, preparatory to laying a new walk
Some of the property holders promptly
obeyed the order, while others have not
done SO. There seems to be an Indifference
shown in the matter that is not understo God
and can hardly be endured with patience
by persons residing on this square. The
loose earth has been left bare almost the
entire distance from l. street to Massa-
chusetts avenue. Since last spring the

THE OYSTER OUTLOOK.
River Beats VIII Soon Drop Water
melons for BiNnIXea.

One week from next Tuesday the oyster
season will open, and oystermen down the
river are already making extensive prepa-
rations for big season. The oyster boats
will soon stop hauling watermelons from
the lower counties and be put in readiness
for the bivalves. Some few oysters are
being received here now from the Chesa-
peake bay, as well from the river, and
some Of the larger restaurants are serving
them at their bars.
well-known local dealer, speaking to a
Star reporter today, said that the best
oysters on the market now are from
Princess bay, \. y, and they are selling
at the rate of Sis a hundred
"A great many oysters are being sold
now" he said, although the business will
take a fresh start next month" Oysters
from the Potomac, he said, are rather
thin at present but with two weeks rain
they will fatten and be good for market.
The river is very low, and there is not
much danger of a freshet that will do
damage to the beds. A number of oyster
captains, he says, are of the opinion that
this season the oysters will be better than
they have been for number of years.
