OBITUARY.

BREVET COLONEL JOHN 0'DWYER.
Brevet Colonel John O'DWyer died In this city
on Sunday last. He entered the volunteer service
In the late war as captain Of Company E, 155th
New York volunteers, Corcoran's Irish Legion,
and was soon afterwards promoted to q majority.
While in command Of his regiment aad calamity
leading his regiment at the battle Of SpOttsyl-
vania Courthouse In May, 1854, he fell, shot
through the body. From this wound he suf1-
GENTLY recovered to enter the Veteran Reserve
Corps, in which he served until December ], 1851
For bis bravery on many bloody fields he was
breVetted colonel, and on last Sunday, after o
short illness Of two weeks, surrounded by loving
and sorroWing friends, IN the prime Of manhood
and from the effects Of the wound he received In
the cause Of the country he loved so we'll, his
life was offered as q sacrifice. His brief life was
passed in useful deeds, and in many hearts his
memory will be cherished where his loss is more
fully known.
He was esteemed by all-kind, charitable, con-
sistent in his duty as q Christian, courteous and
elevated as q gentleman, q loving husband,
kind father and true friend. When we stood by
his open grave, while the last sad rites were per-
formed by the minister Of God, our tears mingled
with those Of his little children whose hearts we
thought would break as the dear form OF their
father was lost to view. We were eheered with
the thought that his pure spirit had passed to
glorious Immortality, and that
deaths but path that must be trod
If ever man would pass to God

HE WAS CAPTURED AT CONTEES, ND,
AND MOST OF THE MONEY RECoV-
Erred.
William E. Sellers, German, who keeps .
bakery and resides at 627 h street northwest, and
by industry to business has succeeded IN amassing
snug sum Of money, not having immediate
for $50, time to make deposit at the bank,
he concluded to place It between the beds Of his
sleeping apartment, thinking It would be safe
there for a day or two under the combined vigil
lance Of himself and wife. At this time he had
in his employ q young man named A. MIltner,
whose quiet manners and taithfulness at work
placed him above suspicion, AID he was aware Of
nearly all his employers business transactions,
as well as the secreting Of the money. Mr.. Sol
lers had occasion yesterday morning, about s
which Institution he supplied, and directed the
young man Miltner to take the wagon and carry
i out; A few minutes previous to his starting
Mrs. Sellers having occasion to go up stairs for
some purpose, met the youth coming down with
his shoes in his hands, and appeared confused at
the meeting.
To the question, why he did not put his shoes
on, an evasiYe answer was given, and he passed
on, the lady at the time attaching no importance
to his embarrassment or the circumstance. He
then, in company with boy, started for the Re
form school. On arriving opposite Mount OliYet
cemetery he stopped the team, got on TO the road
and told the boy TO drive on to the Reform school,
deliver the bread and he would meet him at the
cemetery on his return. The boy did 50, but when
he came back found Miltner gone, and after wait
informed Mrs. Sellers Of the fact. About IL o'clock
her husband returned home, and to his inquiry II
Miltner had got back, related what had trans
pired. Having presentiment that his disappear
ance was connected with some dishonest action, he
Immediately inquired to the safety Of the money
seereted between the beds. The wife was salts
ned that II was safe enough, but to her dlsmay,
when she came to look for It, the greenbaeks had
disappeared.
Mr.. SollersWas convinced Of Miltner being the
thief, and Immediately instituted a search for
him. Satisfied that he was making for BsltI-
more, he started to walk in pursuit, taking the
railroad track. At Bladensburg he gained q
clue, and boarding train he kept sharp lookout
for Miltner, whom be thought might yet be walk
ing, and his perseverance was rewarded, for Just
before reaching OOntees he espied the young
man seated on the opposite track munehlng bread
and cheese. AS soon as the train halted Mr..
Sellers anghted, and procuring the assistance Of
two men he took the back track, and captured
him about half q mile from the station. On HIS
person was found e111.35 Of the amount missing.
He brought the accused back to the city, and on
arriving at the depot turned him over to Ofacer
McHenry, who took him TO police headquarters,
as the detective department had been Informed OF
