The Roystcriss Rogue Trackers Who were
Run In in kichmOnd.
A party OF festive Gotnamites departed short
time ago for "trip In the southern States. Lest
there should any doubt to their personnel the
following Is Inst OF their names ana cangs:-
Colonel J. r. Fellows, Of the General Sessions Cap
tain Kennedy, OF the Sixth ward police station:
Warden Stacom, OF the Tombs; Lieutenant
Beccher, Of Plymouth cnurch Morgan Jones,
the gas pipe layer, and william II. Ken
nedy, the Sixth ward Captains brother.
All propitlously the tour until the arrival OF
the party in Richmond, Va. There the evil fame
which belongs TO such characters theirs had pre-
ceded them aud the Richmond Chief Of Police was
not surprised when he received Information by tele-
graph from New York that number OF
NOTORIOUS BURGLARS,
assuming the names OF prominent New York poti.
clans. were travelling In the Southern States and
would probably put up i Richmond. The police
chief thought He mad had his eye upon The sus-
picious crowd for some time previous. The telegram
decided HIM and they were all
ARRESTED WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY.
Gloatng over his unpromisng-looknR prizes the
chief autographed to superintendent Kelso, and
AFTER the latter had debated the matter with Judge
bowling despatch was sent to Richmond telling
the Chief there to discharge them and give them
half an hour to leave the city. This was complied
with and the party made an lngOrous exit from the
Old Dominion and with no very loving feelings for
any one concerned in their incarceration.
Since their return to New York two days before
they expected the AFFAIR has been kept
PROFOUND SECRET,
lest the tormentlng demon OF pubic satire should
apply the point OF his incscric lance II Is supposed
that Forester, the alleged Nathan murderer, was
the sender Of the telegram, IA species OF revenge
Tor the way they have been trying too annoy him
Tor some time past.
THE HoosAC TUNNEL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PARTICULARs.--The following interesting particulars
or recent explosion the Hoosac tunnel are
lated by the Troy wing :-Roberts, the blaster,
standing in front or the holes upon carriage, was
Killed by the nitro-gIycerine. HIS head was crushed
10 lelly and his bOuy when taken out was almost
snow white. As far rs can be learned,
blame Is attached to any one. The ignorance
that men 5000 feet In the earth would naturally
excuse fhc carelcssness OF using electrical
discharglng machinery during thunder storm.
That the fuses not over sensitive appears from
the fact that the unc0nnccted hole was not dis
charged, though the air was highly electrified. That
a very strong electric current was passing throupn
the tunnel IL certain Tor the miners ut the heading
5000 ieet into the mountain ana 1850 feet from the
place Of the accident, had their limbs shaken and
their strength taken away by a shock like that of a
powerful battery. The lamps were put ont for y
considerable distance on each side, and the men
awaiting for the blasts terrorstricken through
the darkness, some toward the heading some toward
the portal OF the tunnci. On reaching the alr they
shouted "iIill Dunns gang are all Killed.
