that he had brother at Elizabeth, and
that this brother had spry son. So
arrested the boy, and myself and another
special agent went separately to work
with him. The boy had been well drilled,
and nothing could shake his story that
he had found the bond in the Park, while
my colleague tried every means to bring
out the truth. Then went into him.

We took the boys affidavit and arrested
his father, who had become the custodian
OF Tip Ramsdel's secret, for Tip being a
poor shyster, without mind, had nearly
died of this awful responsibility of wealth.
The brother, Crosby, being little sharper,
but not more honest had bought some ink

Jail Delivery of the city aud county of Philadel-

consisted OF Company F, of the 4th Artillery,
and Company G, of the 9Th Artillery. about QUE
hundred and fifty men in all, most of whom
have run with the machine before. They were
dressed in blue pants, white shirts, white
gloves, and forage caps, AMI are all young,
active men. They have a first class steamer, a
hook and ladder, two hand engines, and four
hose carriages, which are under the charge of
three experienced 6remen, who keep them in
the best of order, and the organization is per
haps the best that can be found outside of the
large cities. The companies are drilled every
Saturday on the engines, and have become quite
expert in handling them, so that in case of
fire we have little to fear.

hold ofthe affairs of the Office this morning, aud
commenced countersgning warrants for the
clerks of the Office.
These warrants were presented to the Trea-
