to the proper persons in this city, informing
them of the arrest of HaaG, as a fugitive from

day, and on Thursday morning presented the
requisition at the Capitol Of PGnrsy lYania, and
although it was Thanksgiving day, the State
officers IN orIer to avoid delay, promptly gave
officer Cook the requisite permit, with which
he posted directly to PIltsburg. Arriving there
he found that officer Fox had started for Balli-
more with the prisoner, without awaiting the
requsiuon. Officer Cook finding that his labor
had been in vain, returned to Baltimore, arriv-
ing here on Monday evening, having used such
despatch that he made the whole trip IN six
days. The State Of Maryland will therefore
have to pay officer Cooks expenses, without
any benefit having been received from his ser
vices, in consequence OF some inadVcGtcncles Of
the Plttshurg authorities, which remain to be
explained The above statement is due to Off .
Ger Cook, TO show why he returned, as he Is
not accustomed to do,--empty- handed.
Firsmsn's Riot. Quite a disgrace(ul oat- /
break occurred among cur fremGn, while 90
ing to and returning from the fire on Monday
night Several companies with their suction
engines met, as if it were by design, in North
street, opposite Whites D,stiery, and COM
menced general attack upon each other with
brickbats, clubs, sc. One or two Of the sue
tons were considerably injured. Tho suction
of tho Friendship Fire Company had one of its
wheels broken of by coming III contact with
the Vlgjlant cngnc--this, we understand, was
the result of accident AID not design. Several
arrests were made, but unfortunately the evil
dence not being sufficient to hold them to bail
they were discharged, after suffering a short
confinement in the watch house. We refrain
from mentioning the names Of the companies
said to be engaged IN the riot for fear of doing
innocent oncs injustice.
