IMPORTANT ARREST.
Sequel to the HorribIe FlafbOat Murder Re.
ported a few Days Ago.

The public will remember that some ter
days or two weeks ago, we gave the par
ticulars of a horrible affair on board 4
lumber raft going down the river, in
which two men were killed and pitched
overheard by two others. The killing,
IL was alleged, was in self-defense. but the
perpetrators, fearful of the consequences,
len the raft at this place and made their es-
cape. An account of he affair and a de-
scription of the parties was forwarded to
headquarters of the pslice force here, i'm
mediately after the occurrence, and the
detectives have been on the keen lookout
for them. Up to Saturday the search was
fruitless, but on that evening a couple of
men, answering+o the description given,
went to the Commercial hotel and regis
tered az Patrick Murphy and Daniel
U'Neil. The fact was soon eommu-
nicated to the police, and a watch
was put upon them. During the
evening they quietly left the hotel
and went to the crib OF John BrittOn Ia
cellar near the corner Of Jefferson and
'FRONT.'. The detectives, certain now that,
whether the two were the men they were
searching after or not, they were not " all
right" surrounded BrittOn's premises
about daylight yesterday morning and
raided 1t. O'Neil was caught before he
could get out, but Murphy ran out the
back door, and in some name got to the
top Of the building, where he was cap
tured.
The men were terribly frightened, and
could or would not give no account of
themselves. On their persons were found
a lot of gambling devices, dice, thimbles,
a cloth for a clay out" etc. ThHkYere
