THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY. AUGUST 0, 1870. C I T IKTELIiKCG, YELLOW FEVER. Several Penth Train thin ninrnoR It la rllrwught Mere b? a tllthyb Jamaica Vessel. The citizens of the southeastern portion of the city have been thrown into a state of great Alarm by a rumor that several deaths had oc curred recently at the Lazaretto fiotn vellow fever. On inquiry it has been found that the rumor was true, but there is some consolation in learning that the disease has abated, and that 6ince day before yesterday no deaths have oc curred. Those frtill suffering with the malady are reported to the health authorities this morn tag as being in an improving condition. The disease was brought here by the barque Home, from Black river, Kingston, Jamaica. She ar rived off the Quarantine on the 20th of June last, with a cargo of logwood. It being reported to the oillcers stationed at that post that her commander, Captain Phillips, had died of a malignant fever on the passage, the vessel was brought to and examined. 8he was found to be in a perfectly filthy con dition, and in addition to this a lot of loathsome rags were packed away in the hold. These were taken to the quarantine wharf, whore the match was applied, and in a short time nothing but cinders were left. While this was being done the cargo was taken out and brought up to Windmill Island, where it now lies. Shortly after the destruction of the rags, the . children of Jacob Pepper, the keeper of the hotel adjacent to the station, were taken down with a fever, from which they all recovered. Mrs. Enos, the mother-in-law of Mr. Pepper, was also taken sick, and, after having shown every symptom of yellow fever, died during the early part of last week. The servant girl in the same family, after having exhibited prominent symptoms of the same disease, was taken to the residence of some of her relatives near Darby, where she expired. Mr. Pepper himself was the next victim, and died on Sunday last. Mrs. Mary Johnson, a sister-in-law of the deceased, is now in bed, suffering with the fever. Mrs. Mary Kuglcr.wilc of the steward of the Quarantine, was also laid up, and in a short time died. Dr. Thompson, the physician in charge of the Qua rantine, after working energetically to prevent the spread of disease, is also now laid up. Pilot J. Bennett, of Capo May, after lying a few days in this city, died. Griffiths, second mate of the Home, and two of her crew, also expired in the built-up portion of Phila delphia. Doggat, captain of one of the lighters which carried the cargo to Windmill Island, died at Port Carbon, and his wife and a son fell victims to the malady at the Lazaretto, The Home, on being cleaned and fumigated canic up to the city during the latter part of ti wool? tmt. t.h llfl.'ilt.h Ofllnur riiiwtail Vior return to Quarantine, where she is now anchored. I The Health Officer is actively engaged in inves tigating whether there are any other cases in the city, so that they may be removed to the Municipal Hospital, and the buildings they have been occupying fumigated. The Gbrmantown Public Baths. The Kel lev's dam public bath at Uermantown was opened on Saturday last, and was patronized by about three hundred bathers during the day. The accommodations are not of the best, but the lateness of the season would not warrant much outlay. Applicants for admission to the bath after 10 P. M. are denied.

The deposits have fallen off $189,423 and specie $08,199, whilst tbe lons show a slight increase, the more favorable terms obtainable for loans havinir disposed tne managers to be liberal. The chief falling oif is in the legal-tender reserves, which are less than last week by 1353,471. This is entirely due to tne sharp demands irom the West. 1 ha local demand for loans is lively both for business and epeculative purposes.and rates are very Arm but unchanged.

Paris, July 27. The accounts of the Em press visit to the Meet at Cherbourg, on the 24tb, are glowing with tbe enthusiasm of tne writer. Her Majesty arrived unexpectly at 7 o'clock in the morning, and within tea minutes was on board -La bavoie, whence she was con veyed to the flag-ship, La Surveillaiite. The Vice-admiral, having presented the suit oillcers of the Iron-clad squadron, thus addressed the Empress: Madam: Just as we are about to weigh anchor. your Majesty condescends to bay to us a last fare well, on the very decks of our vessels. Thanks 1 We are accustomed to see our Empress wherever there is a danger to ne uravea, ana nave only to be lnsDired with her noble courage is the struggle about to commence.

The crew Immediately repeated these cries, and som lime eluded before silence wat re stored. The Emprces then thanked the com mander ol the fleet, and proceeded to read, in tones 'full of emotion, the following proclama tion, which the Emperor had commissioned her to bring to the sonadron: Onccrs and Penmen: Althouih I am not In tout midst, my thoughts will follow you anon those Bess wnere your vaior is anout to ne nispiayea.

Palace Of St. Cloud, !3d July, 1S70. The Empress Is said to have been so affected as she came to an end that she was unable to address the Vice-Admiral again, and could only press his band. Mass was said immediately after, and then a banquet ordered especially from land was served on board the Surveilante, to which were invited all the officers of the ves sels at anchor. After an inspection of the docks and arsenals, she returned to land on board Le Coliirny, aHd left for Paris by the 8 o clock evening train. The vessels were all decked out with flags, and tho city likewise, but no salute was fired. The Empress is reported to hive forbidden this customary markfof honor, and to have said, "Save all your powder for the Prus sians. Her Maiestv is also saddled with the exorcs- sion ot very etrong convictions respecting the war. Bbc is said to regard the situation with great firmness, and to entertain no illusions as to its gravity. "Tho solution of the war," she is reported as bavins said, "is victory: it is a triumph of the French armies. A peace signed alter a detent would be the end of the Napoleo nic dynasty. iv. l.

The New York World to-day Ays: If tho so lution of the mystery in which tho Nathan mur der is involved depends upon the arrest of tho assassin, it is as far from being reached to-day as it was on the morning of the discovery of the norrioie aceu. ine.iartncr men become re moved from the night of the tragedy, the more thty speculate in regard to how the murder was commuted, what motive it was done for, and wno am it. The "dos" has, as yet, failed to speak the facts connected with the assassination. The key of the safe has not yet unlocked the mys tery. Tho bloody footprints on tho stairs have been explained, and the explanation has only deepened the mystery. Other things connected with the murder have been subjected to that peculiar analytical examination which experi enced detectives give to matters which are olli- cially entrusted to them, but the solution is not yet. it theorizing over the why. the wherefore. and the manner of a mysterious murder ouy;ut to lead to an unravelling of the mystery,it ought to do so in tbe case of the assassin of Benjamin Nathan. For, as every intelligent man well knows, much theorizing has been done on tbo subject. For instance, the detectives, who are supposed to be acting in accordance with tho suggestions and theories gi ven out by Superin tendent Jourdau, started out with the idea, l. lhat the murderer was a sneak-tbicf who had entered tho house for petty plunder, but wno, discovering a bicger prize thau he had looked for, "went for it." to use a cant phrase, and found that he could not get away with it without committing murder, Mr. Nathan having been awakened by the noise made by the thief, and having made a fight with the robbor. J. That the murder was done by a man who was not -a professional burglar they having formed this opinion from what they call the bungliDg manner in which the robbery was coin milted, and from the instrument of death used by the man in killing his victim. 3. That some loafer passing the house when the front door or basement was open had entered the dwelling and secreted himself until the late hours of tbe night, when he began to Eearch tie place for plunder, and, being sur prised by Mr. Nathan, a struggle ensued which resulted in the death of tho latter.' 4. That the murder was committed by one of the workmen employed in repairing the house a theory which was soon exploded. 5. That some of these workmen may have spoken in some bar-room about the careless manner in which the doors of the houso wero frequently left open, and that some burglar, overhearing the talk, may have resolved on "cracking the "crib" for the purpose of making a haul of some valuable 'swag." 6. That it was some acquaintance of Mr. Nathan who did the deed, from some motive, businees or otherwise, at present unknown. Other theories have been set forth by the de tective?, but not one of them has as yet resulted in solving the mystery of the murder. That the officers have worked bard and assiduously in the matter there is no doubt; and, from cer tain rumors that have been put in circulation, it is quite likely, notwithstanding tho failure of a majority of the theories advauced, that tbe de tectives are confident lhat they know the name of tbe murderer, and that they hope to "bag" their man ere the lapse of many hours. T11AT 1'IECE OF PAPER AN IMPORTANT STATE MENT. There bas been much said relative to a piece of paper that was picked up from tbe stoop of Mr. Nathan's residence on tbe morning of the murder. At the iuqucst yesterday, a news boy named James ies testified that he saw a man pick up a piece of paper from the stoop on that morning, and that this man wore a white hat, white pants, and grey coat, and that bis clothing being covered with lime and mortar gave him the appearance of being a mason. The boy also testified that the piece of paper looked liko a bank check. In connection with this testimony, tbe following statement, personally furnished to the writer, cannot fail to be read with serious interest: 1 whs at work bhU the informant) at Mr. Williau) C. White's place, at the foot of Kleventh street ami the Kast r.ver, until about 10 o'clock on the night of the murder. 1 am an euglueer there. I went from that place about that hour to Ave&ue A, where 1 took an Avenue A car and rode to Twenty-third street aud Broadway. There I got out and went along Twenty-third street towards the North rivi-r. After cettinir out of tbe car I noticed two men loan ing against the railing In front of Mr. Peckham's residence, on the corner of the street, next door to Mr. Nathan's. The men were well dressed and were conversing as I passed. It was raining quite hard at the time, aud the sidewalks were quite wee After pass u? the men I noticed a piece or paper on the sidewalk, I picked it up, and tound It was not sat urated all through. 1 carried It to tbe drat lamp light on the south side of the street, and saw that it was notfllEg tmi a BtocK-uroner s iiai wriueu "ui iu Dencll. No name was signed to it. I then walked on rather fast, ana went past Mr Nathan's stoop, I threw the rapcr away, thinking It would bono good to me, and the wind, which was blowing very hard at the time, carried It towards Mr. Nathan's stoop. I heard no more about the piece of taper in fact 1 forgot all abont it till last Saturday morning, when I heard there was a reward offered fi-r a piece of paper found on thn Hoop the morning after the murder. I think the man who took the paper from tbe stoop is an n who generally comes over the Pavonia ferry from New Jersey every morning lu tbe boat that leaves the Jersey side at 4 30 o'clock, arrt.lug at the foot of Twenty-third street about 5 o'clock. I have often Been him going along the street (Twenty-third) ahead of me. lie is usually dressed In blue over alls and dark blue Blurt, and seems to be a fireman. He always went through Twenty-third street until be took an avenue car at the corner of that street and Broadway. I never spoke to him about it, aud don't know his name. This is all I know about the paper or anything else connected with the murder.

The Question a Matter of Veracity Between II err vou Thile aud iU. Uenedetti. The Journal Officiel contains a further circu lar from M. de Gramont respecting the Hohen zollern business which reduces the question to a matter of veracity between Herr von Thile and M. Benedetti. This document is as fol lows: Paris, July 24. Monsieur: According to a telegram from Berlin, published by the journals of the 23d, MM. de Bismarck and de Thile, con testing a passage in my circular despatch of tbe 21st of July, declared that "since the day they heard of the offer addressed to the Prince de Ilohenzollern, tbe question of that candidature to the throne of Spain has never been tbe sub ject of the least conversation, either olHcial or Frivate, between themselves and M. Benedetti.' n tbe form in which it is produced, this affirma tion is ambiguous; it seems to refer solely to the relations of our Ambassador with the Prus sian Ministry posterior to the acceptance of Prince Leopold. In that sense it would not be contrary to what we have ourselves said; but If it is extended to anterior communications it ceases to be true, and to establish that fact I caunot do better than cite here a despatch dated March 81. 186U, addressed by Count Benedetti to the Marquis de Lavalette, then Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is thus conceived: Berlin, March 31 Monsieur le Marquis: Tour Excellency requested roe by telegraph, yesterday, to assure rovself whether the caudidature of Prince de liohoEzollern to the throne of Spain bad a airlous ctiai atter. 1 had occasion this morning to soe M. de Thile, and I asked liliu If I was to attach any Import ance to the rnniors in circulation on this subject. I aid not conceal from him that I was anxious to be exactly Informed, remarking that sueti an eventu ality was of too direct interest to the Emperor s (iovtruuient for my duty not to compel me to point out the danger if any reason existed t-' believe that the project might be rcu.ll.ed. I made him aware that I Intended to com municate our conversation to you. M. de Tbile Khve me the most formal assurance that be had not at any moment l et n aware of any Indication what ever which could authorize a similar conjecture, and that Mie ISpanltOi Mlinnter at Vienna, during the mav lie made in lieriin bad not. even made any allu sion to lhe subject. The Under Secretary of State, In thus expressing himself, and without any thing I said being of a nature to Induce such a manifestation, believed himself culled npon to pledge his word of honor. According to him, M. Ranees had confined himself to ta'kii'g to Count de Bismarck who per haps was auxious to take advantage of t he paw age of I his diplomatist to obtain some information on the state of things in Spain nf the manner In w Mch attaint were advancing in what con terned the choiee oi the future sovereign.
