indefatigsble officers, Marshal Phelps and
|Lieutenants Couzins and Molsir had sue.
ceeded in capturing three counterfeiiers,
who gave their names as Daniel McAf.,
w. J. Bowers, and james Lovejoy. In
their possession were found q completely
finished press for printing notes, q copper
plate Of . $40 bill on the State Bank Of
Missouri, etching tools, bank note psper
and all the necessary apparatus for execnt.

Upon Bowers and Lovejoy, were found
$3.50 Of the blank notes from the same

session, 81 300 Of notes on the Missouri
Bank. When these two were arrested they
were in the very act Of striking of the

McAfe is the keeper Of q grocery store
on the corner Of Mulberry and Main street.
He is e man of considerable means, being
the owner Of q tract of land in st Louis

supposed to b. the writing member Of the

thing has been niPped just as it was blos-
soming with seeming perfection.
Bowers and Lovejny, with their apps-
rstus, were taken on 9TH street, below Park
Avenue. Bowers is a stranger to the police,
and nothing definite is known as to where
he is from or what his business has been.

correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, under date
of the 22d, says:
"The news by the Europa has failed to animate
our market, as the advances are not sufficient to
warrant shipments. Our ship owners are in the
meantime lameniing the low price of freights, the
vessels in port having TO load at rates that will
certainly insure a loss on the voyage to Europe,
unless the return trip turn out better than the cur
rent rates of freghts there at the last advices."
