trhordinary eight.
From some unexplained cause he was
permitted 20 depart on the train, but the
officers OF the road ut this place were teie-
eraphed 10 stop and examine the baggage
which thay did, With the follow discoy-
cry:
One LARGE trunk containing cavalry
swords, OF fine quality, together with a
very eiab1rltely mounted sword, supposed
to be for general officer, with sash
ana belt.
Two hand trunks containing navy re-
volvtrs, two leather satchels filled with
the same articles. One small box also
continuing revolvorS, two fine cases. con
tanning each purcell OF the most elegant
revolvcrs. and lunch basket containing
cartridges 10 the number ct about 1900.
These goods were all detained, rs the

mittcd u depart, which he did, on the f.
and {. Railroad. \ dispatch was after
wards sent 10 Nincenncs 20 have him mr..
rested. but We learn he doiged those who
were looking after him.
Another man who had been seen in his
company came over on the train last eve
ming, and was met 1T Woods Mill by the
Sheriff. who arrested him.
Mr.. Wilcox. a Government officer. also
came over on the train, to take Charge OF
the munitions aud the prisoner. Ii is TO
oe hoped the other nan will be arrested
The value 81 the goods detained j. various
" estimited at from 1900 to 5000.
The revoivers are OF the finest plttern,
OF English manufacture, and are a combi-
nation ofthe Allen 4 Colt patents, and arc,
we believe, seven shooters. The man
having them in charge gave his name as
Claeston. and the one arrested gave his
rs Preston. The smt Ill box of pistols was
directed 70 Chicago.
