trip as high as Ascension. AS n provision against
any contingencies OF danger that might arise to
the persons or property of citizens OF the United
States naval vessel should show itself IN the
ports OF the Parana and the Paraguay. The last OF

PHILADELPHIA, July %, 1873.
Each day seems to develop something new and
startling In relation to william Undertook, con-
fined in the Westminster Jail, charged with killing
Winfield Scott Goss. Yesterday information was
received from Baltimore that A. Campbell Goss
brother Of the murdered man, had been arrested
in that city on a charge of conspiring with the
prisoner Undertook to deiraud insurance COM
panies. and was committed in default Of $25, 600
ball. This Is but another link In the chain Of evi.
dence that has been ferreted out and has opened
the eyes OF the public to the enormty OF Udderzooks
crimes. The Delaware authorities are now search
ing assiduously for evidence to fix the murder of
Smith upon the prisoner, and with far success;
and, in case he should escape the terrible ordeal
that awaits him at the October term OF Court on
the charge upon which he is now confined the pro-
liabilities are that he Will meet with retrlbu

Is thought that he intended either to commit
suicide or stab the jallor at favorable opportunity
and attempt to escape. The jail Is now securely
guarded day and night by the Sheriff and a posse
OF citizens, as rumors have Deen rife that move

until he confessed. The Sherff has been notified
by the state Authorities that in case of danger to
call out the militia OF the county.
Yesterday Mrs. Jane Undertook, the venerable
mother OF the alleged murderer, visited her son in
the jail. The scene between the two was
heartrending and drew tears to the eyes
Of those who witnessed the meeting. Upon
entering his cell the anguished mother
threw herself upon the bosom of her erring
son, and clasped her arms around his neck and
remained In that position FULLY three minutes say
ing, 'Oh, my son; would to God that | had died
when you were young II can't be that you are a
murdererv She then released her arms and the
two sat down on the couch and Udde rzook used all
the responsiveness in his power TO calm her, as
surfing her that he was innocent but ~ was OF no
avail She finally left The Jail, but returned In the
afternoon and had another long and painful inter-
view with her son, during which she prayed and
duplicated her Master TO dlspel the web OF crcum-
stances which was woven around her son. imp-
