lie was then taken some miles from

cars going 10 PHILADELPHIA. On their
arrival at this point they simply abat-
el their speed to give all opportunity
10 the party to get on, when Adam.
who was TIC last, III attempting to get
Tn, missed lis ioothold aud fell into
tho mud. The officers were carried
to tic next station, Newark, Del,
where two of them got out Of the
cars anl returned on foot through the
darkness and a hcayy fall Of rain. to
the point where Alan fell Of. When
they reached the place they called to
ltm aloud. but he gave no answer,
and they were compelled to proceed
to Newark without finding him.
Adam, after he picked himself up.
Kept on the railroad track. and walk.
ed all the way to Philadelphia, a dis.
lance Of A. miles or more, without
obtaining scarcely a mouthful to cat.
or stopping, until he reached the point
where he vas taken up by Mr.. Pierce.
IIo saw the officers approaching
lin on the railroad, when they re
turned to hunt for lin /; but not
knowing who they were, he got over
iu:o a woods and let them pass by
Abou, three niles further on. and
probably in the neighborhood of New
ark, q man who was at the depot or
stop ing place saw him 60 by, and at.
tempted to arrest him. He ran and
the man gave chase. After running
4 short distance he turned up0n the
man and told him to come at him, but
il he did he should pay dearly for it.
At this time Adam was armed with a
knife and a bludgcon. The man then
turned around and went away, and he
continued his route to Philadelphia
without further molcstation. The of.
kccrs, after losing Adam on the road.
went back to Elkton Yesterday morn.
in., to provide for lis being sent to
Philadelphia if he should rca Oh there.
They learned no tidings Of him on the
road. and did not know what had be-
come Of him until they had reached
Grcy's Ferry, near this city.
Within q half hour after lis arriv.
nj in the city he was again in the
company of his wife and child, and
sister, who supposed they had parted
with him forever. Much credit is
due to Mr.. l~Ialzcl, in whose charge
Gibson was placed, in connection with
Marshal keyser's police, for their de-
termination to bring him to philadcl.
Ihia at all hazards, if he should not
prove the person he was alleged to be.
One important matter we have omitted
to state. Mr.. Knight, for who's,
slave he was claimed, after he had
seen him and told him he was not his
man, cautioned him against an indi,
vilual, telling lin if he Was not care.
fIl, that he would sell him to some
person hcfore he got out Of Maryland.
