EAIGRATING TO XIE.-Iesterday morning
the attention OF Polk men Widdifield and King
was attracted to the lwelling of Mr.. B. Flani-
gan, No. 1873 North Calvert street, above Gem
tire, by the frequent visits of persons having
bundles, as also a yalise. Shortly after they
observed two young men named Douglass
Thomas, son OF DIR. J. Hanson Thomas, and
Bruce Price come out of the dwelling with
yalise and get on passenger railway car,
which conveyed them to the intersection of
Baltimore and North streets. Suspecting
something wrong the officers got on the same
car, and on reaching the above corner arrested
the young men. whom they conducted before
Lieut.. Col. Fish, Military Provost Marshal.
On the way thither Price acknowledged that
they were preparing to go to Richmond.
Thomas and Price were lodged in the Middle
District Station for an hour or so, at which
time the officers, accompanied by Policeman
Frost, returned again TO Mr.. Flanigan's dwell
ing, which after some delay had been expe-
rlencedAthey succeeded in entering, the two
first officers by the rear and Frost by the front
The latter observed Miss Letitia Flanagan,
daughter OF the occupant OF the dwelling,
moving about In a manner indicating that she
had concealed about her person some article
which she was desrous the officers should not
get hold OF, and at his instance q female was
ObtaineS by whom the young lady was
searched. While this task was being executed
she took from her bosom letters, secession
flags and music and throwed them into fire
by which the greater part thereof was con-
snmed. She was arrested by order of the Pro-
vost Marshal, was also her father, and with
Thomas and Price released on parole, for an
examination to-day In the yalises and bundles
there was great variety OF articles, such as
