teeliy dressed man approached highly respect
able young lady of this city who was seated in
the Capitol Grounds, and taking a seat by her
insulted her by making most infamous propo-
sltion The lady promptly moved away from
hlm and making complaint to the officer on duty
IN that part of the grounds, the fellow was
promptly arrested and ia ken to the Capitol Quad
House. Justice Mckenna was then called In and
tals person, who gave his name as Michael KEEL

costs.

Mayor OF that city, and was Informed by him,
and by the chief Of police, that the ieweIry had
been recovered in New York but that there was
no; sufficient proof TO warrant the arrest Of any
particular person. The police are still actively
engaged in frTreting out the robbers and hone

many other exaggerated reports connected with
the affair, Is without foundation. -AIezaadria
