A Burglars Den Taken.

Ihe Philadelphia North American says:
The silks stolen on Saturday night last from the
store OF Mr. McElroy, in Ninth street, were yeser-
day recovered. The lot was not only intact but
more goods were recovered than Mr.. McEroy had
missed II 50 happened that detective Joseph T.
Plerson, OF Baltimore, was in the city. He had
come on to reclaim cOlored thief from the MOnu-
mental City. Detectives Taggart and Smith, who
had been assigned to the task of recovering the
goods and arresting the burglars, invited Mr.: Pier
son to Join them in their task and went on Monday
night. at late hour to a small thoroughfare near
the United States Arsenal. at grays Ferry, called
McCurdy street. The suspected locality was num-
bered in that street 1886 Accompanied by a sufi-
cient number of men to picket the premises, and
render escape impossible, the three detectives en-
tered the house.
Seated around stove, in their shirt sIvor es,
dulging in the luXures of pipes and whisky, sat two
noted burglars, whose exploits have often bafed the
ingenuity OF our most experienced thief-takerS One
is called Hugh Murphy, alias Hughey the Greek:
the other is named James llaggerty. Both Irish
men of great physical power and of no mediocre me-
chanical ingenuity. The click of a revolver and the
assurance on the part of the policemen that escape
was impossible, brought these experts to instant
terms. An officer took up position at each door,
while third assembled to the upper part Of the hou7e
There in room was piled the rich booty of the bur
glars, who, astounded and dsmayed, were seated
below with the glittering tube of revolver antici-
pating any movement toward retreat. The goods re-
covered comprised fortyseven full pieces of expen-
sive silks. the value of which was something like
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars The evidence
against the prisoners is conclusive"

Brownsville letter on the 18th, corroborates
the statement of the Imperialsts firing on a
Federal boat whilst drifting down the river
The crew ran ashore and took to flight, and
the lmperialists fire proved harmless. The
captain of the boat narrowly escaped, q

understood that General Wetzel demand

Wetzel and General Mejia relative to firing

the Imperial gunboat Elantona, and the evi-
