BURGLARY IN PHILADELpHrA-THREE Thou.
SAND DOLLARS WORTH OF FURs STOLEN AND
REcovERED.--M. Cohen, German cap dealer,
doing business in New York, was arrested on
Wednesday,. having in his possession large
quantity Of furs, the proceeds Of burglary
committed about q month ago on the store
Of Mr.. Reisky, in Third-street, Philadelphia,
which was broken into and robbed Of furs to
the amount of $4,000. Soon after the commits
sion of the burglary, the New York police
were telegraphed, and Officers Elder, McCord,
Slowey, and King, Of the Detective force, com.
menced searching for the stolen property, and
they visited numerous auction. stores and
other places, and with some surprise noticed
that several of the cap dealers who had not
heretofore dealt in furs had supplied their
stores with them. Suspicion rested on Cohen,
and the foreman of Mr.. Reisky's store was
sent for. Cohen's house and stores were then
searched, and So, 800 worth Of furs, identified
as part Of the stolen property, was found
Some of them were secreted in the coal cellar
and garrett. The trimming had been stripped
from the tippets, cuffs, oapes, 60, but the pri.
vate marks were not erased, and by these they
were identified.

A WHITE MAN HUNTED BY REvENGEruL Ne
aRoRs. George Hartman, who, by his action
in recent so-called kidnapping affair, rem
dered himself obnoxious to the violent anti
slavery men of the Northern part of this
State, stayed in the Cleveland Jail during
Wednesday night, not caring to trust himself
outside. The Jail was watched by party Of
negroes who would have given him rough
reception if he had venturod out The next
morning about nine o'clock he left the Jail as
stealthily as possible, in the hope of getting
to the New England House, where he
boarded. Sharp eyes however saw him and
he was compelled to take refuge in Andrews
Saloon on Seneca-street These not being
permanent quarters he endeavored to escape
through the back yard, but was caught by
Andrews dog, which would have speedily
disabled him if he had not been called off.
Hartman soon made his escape thence and
succeeded in reaching the New England,
though closely followed by incensed negroes.
Here he armed himself and suffered no iur-
ther nolestation. He probably left the city
upon the Columbus train last evening" Geue-
land Herald.

Particulars of the Capture of Browns.
...r 4.l Vile.


The telegraph has mentioned the storming
and taking of Brownsville, Texas, but the
statement, dated Corpus Christi, Nov. Z, of W.
J. Miller, one Of the escaped citizens, from the
New Orleans papers Of the 18th, is as follows
On the 29th Of October, Cortinas and his
band surrounded the town of Brownsville. On
the 3lst Cortinas ordered the barricades to be
charged; st the same time his men made good
an entrance from the yards at the back Of the
stores and dwelling houses in moment his
men and ours were mixed up in hand to hand
fight, and moment moro the barricades were
forced. After five hours hand to hand fight.
ing, we were forced to retreat, and succeeded
10 making our escape to the other side Of the
river. r
Cortinas's attacking party consisted ofabout
four hundred men, and had in all probability
two hundred men patroling the country to
prevent communication with the city.
In oil told we had about flfty white men
under arms, and these were aided by one
hundred and fifty Mexicans, sent from Mata-
moras, Col. Manuel (Naranco) commander Of
the force. ayt
can form no idea of the number of men
killed on either side. The cry of the Mexi.
cans was, "Death to all Americans! No
quarter !" And such was truly the case, as it
proved, by the death of every mar Cortinas
has taken prisoner. On Tuesday, Cortinas
had entire possession of Brownsville.

SUSPECTED ATTEMPT AT SLAVE INsuRnEcrroS

SUSPECTED ATTEMPT AT SLAVE INsuRRRcT1oN
IN MrssoURI.-The Waverly Visitor Of late date
remarks: 9
On Saturday morning letter dated "Saline
County, November I'd, 1885," was delivered
at this Office, in which We are informed that
large crowd of negroes probably fifty in num-
ber) were discovered in tho vicinity of Judge
McDaniePs, armed with hatchets, corn knives,
&c. Several gentlemen, riding in the night,
came suddenly on the negroes, all Of whom
made their escape, except tho leader. This
negro said they had assembled together to have
q "big rassel," but could not explain the rea-
son of their carrying knives and hatchets. 1t
was thought by some that some white man was
at the head of the band, aud SO soon as circum-
stances would permit, they would have made
a united cdmisade.
We have the above from responsible and
reliable gentleman of Miami, and have thought
it prudent to notice his communication, in this
brief way, that those who hold slaves may be
cautious and vigilant. A good patrol ought
to be kept up in every neighborhood.
