THIEvEs.-An account was given in yesterday
mornings Exchange, of the robbery of the clothing
store of Mr.. Asbury Jarrett corner of L. Balti-
more and Front streets. The stolen goods have
been recovered and the robbers arrested by some
OF the Eastern District police. Yesterday morning
as officers Lancaster Horney, Stokes, Monroe, s.
Cadet and Brown were coming from off their beats,
towards the Station House, they noticed a man
named John Wagner coming from the house of
George Ancholbrand, on Eastern avenue, near Dial
las street; horse and wagon was in the street
in front of the house; Wagner being well known
to the officers, this circumstance excited
their curiosity, and suspecting something
wrong, they determined to keep a lookout
In few minutes man named Christopher
Lutz got on the wagon and drove out Eastern
Avenue towards Canton, followed by the officers
The horse driven fast that the pursuing par
ty could not keep up to it; they, however proceed
ed on the road and had got far the light house,

Coath's woods near the lower Canton House. At

notorious thieves, the aforesaid John Wagner and
Robert alias Flick Mason. On the approach of the
officers, Wagner leaped from the wagon and run
across the fields, pursued by some of the officers

Stokes fired two shots from his revolver at him;
the firing was returned by Wagner without eff
feet, and he was soon captured. The whole party
were then taken to the Eastern District Station
House and locked up. The contents of the
wagon, upon being examined, were found to consist
of cloths, cassmeres and silks, supposed to be the
property of Mr. Jarrett, who, upon being sent for,
readily identified the goods being those taken
from his store the previous night. The goods
were packed in sacks, which had the appearance of
having been buried in the ground. The vehicle
was an ordinary huckster wagon, having pieces Of
carpet wrapped around the springs, with the inten-
ton of deadening any noise caused by passing over
the paved streets. The officers afterwards arrested
