of the horse and wagon. They belonged to
q man named Brown (this same brother-in-
law, it is supposed) in the Nineteenth Ward.
They had been seen by lot of boys at the
corner of Third and Elm streets as they
drove up Elm street, coming towards the
express Office, and the boys had hooted at
the shabby old turnout. But where they
had gone after that nobody could tell-at
least nobody that might have been disposed
to tell. 1t had passed away quietly with its
magnificent freight, without attracting at
tentiOn or suspicion.
MONROE ARRESTED.
At about half past II o'clock this morning
there came proof that the telegraph had
worked well. 1t came in the shape of a dis
patch from Indianapolis, that Monroe had
been arrested there shortly after ii o'clock,
ON a train from this city. But there was no
have any confederates with him. He was
detained though, and will await there or
ders from this city.
AT HALF PAST 2 A. NJ,
there was no further news, at least for re-
porters. AT thai time our reporter found
Clark, Henderson, Weir, Hazen and Kier-
stei in Hunts dining saloon. They
were waiting for further dispatches and
were beguiling the time by getting outside
of some oysters. They were taking some
comfort out of the arrest of Monroe, but
were waiting-anxiously.
A MYSTERY OF THE AFFAIR.
The investigation made last night does not
throw a calcium light upon one or two cir
cumstances in this matter. Moody stated
thai he saw that there was a safe in the
trunk when it walked off between two
robbers. The safe was too big for the trunk,
and the lid of the latter would not shut close
over it. He saw that; he had been induced
to leave the office; the whole affair was
somewhat irregular-aDd yet he permitted
the trunk to go, with a safe in it, without
suspicioni
THE VERY LATEST.
At $40 this morning we learn that there is
a track of the other thieves that they are
supposed to be on their way TO Chicago. II
is stated now that the safe contained nearly
S75, 900.
