noticed 6: ovid Of persons upon the
bank, near the railroad depot, in
greA excii ement, and heard calls for
. boat aud graphing irons. They
rowed as for lite to see what was the
matter, and to offer assistance. There
was NJ. and n. and s., and we know
not how many moro, and the tower
ing form OF our friend the Marshal,
intent to ferret out the crime and to
bring the guilty to Justice. It was q
snoment Of awful excitement. A
woman had been seen to approach
the l.::ser with . bundle in her arms,
wrapped in q blue sack, which she
thr:w into the river and went he,
way. But no; 80 the Marshal end
his friends. The depot was deserted,
the graphing irons were obtained, the
boat was impressed, and search was
made diligently in deep water iof
perhaps half IN hour, and at LIST the
bundle was found, taken into the boat,
carried to the shore, and opened amid
death-hke stiffness aud profound
forebodingS and the blue sack. when
was found to contain-a
