to the Treasurer Of the Brotherhood. Ac-
cordlngly 50 old rusty muskets were pur-
chased at the rnte Of ESQ apiece. and con-
ycyed, With M air Of great mystery, to the
Fen[an headquarters in Duane street. They
were placed in rocks In tho back room
attached to the department where the fiaan-
cial business was transacted, and two athletic
Cells were placed fu charge Of the
terrible implements Of warfare. Two

in depth by three In width, were also
