Murderer Of Ivory Boothby Of North Sacc. Not
Yet Captured.

Biddeford, Me-, Sept. 18.-The muir
derer of Ivory Boothby at North Saco
is stin at large, and the police have
as yet only succeeded in tracing him
as far as Portland, whittier he rode
with Warren Mason, a Bar Mills farm
er. the morning after the murder.
Marshal Burns of Sae0twent to Por.-
land, yesterday. and with the assist
ance of Portland officers made a search
for the man in all places where he
would be likely to be heard from, but
was unsuccessful.
The fact that the man who rode with
Mason asked about the Grand Trunk
station and also about the departure
of vessels, lead to suspicious that he
might have left the city in one of these
ways, but inquiry at the shipping Of
fees brought the information that no
man answering the description had
shipped within a week, while the
Grand Trunk officials have seen no
such individual
The police believe that the murderer
has got away from this seciOn, though
the search in Portland will be contin-
ued.
At a special meeting of the SacO
aldermen it was voted to request the
Governor to offer a reward for the
capture of the murderer. the board
having no authority to do so.

PARIS PAPERS HEDGE.
Change Of Tone Noticed in Articles on the
Fashoda Situation.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-The French news
papers, which for the past few days
have been purchased upon the top
most rung OF the ladder of indigna-
ton at the advance of the Anglo
Egyptian forces to Fashoda, are now
climbing down.
A majority of the papers of Satur-
day, express the opinion that Gen.
Gitchaner would not dare to use force
against Maj. Marchand's expedition.
but at the same time they evidence
anxiety on that point.
The Figaro thinks that the sirdar is
taking with him almost too large
force for his mission to be entirely
pacific, but it relies, however, upon
the friendly assurances of the Duke of
Connaught.
