New York Dispatch to the Chicago Times
The first reliable news of the Franklin's
arrival was a dispatch at a. m that a
was off Ocean Grove. Tweed's friends
shoek their heads and swore like

rived in swarms at the sherifrs office in
time to see Mr.. Conner starting excitedly
and alone for a tug-boat to take him to the
United States tender Catalpa, which was 10
take the prisoner off the steamer Franklin.
The United States steamer Nina was darting
around the bay signalling, and all was mys-
terry and excitement. The bay swarmed
with steam tugs containing members
of the press and others. Photograph
and other artists were just ready
to take sketch of the Boss as
he would appear getting over the gangway
and aboard the tender The-shore along the
bay was dotted with little knots of ladies
and gentlemen, Scanning all the craft pass

3:15 p. IN. the Catalpa steamed up to Grand

p. M Tweed was brought to Ludlow
Street jailin carriage, which also contained

Order of Arrest Clerk Quincy and
Warden Watson. The expectant crowd of
reporers in the office of the Jail were eluded
by Introducing the Boss to his old quarters

Boss, on seeing him, greeted him heartily,
aAs said cheerfully, II thought ! would see
Sou again" No one could BE- admitted to
see the Boss. He is reported to be as hearty
as ever, and quite unaltered in appearance.
The warden is now extremely careful OF his
charge, and the moment the carriage arrived

thronging crowd until the prisoner was
safely in his cell. After this, with sigh of
relief the warden appeared in the office;
then smiled and joked with the reporters,
but up to a late hour would not allow any
one to disturb the rest of distinguished
guest. 1t is stated that the Boss looks quite
hale and hearty, and no more downhearted.
Before his arrival at the Ludlow street
hotel his luggage, consisting of the blankets
and carpet-bag which figured on the lone
rock by Caribbean sea, when the illustrious
exile landed in Cuba, arrived by an express
wagon. ''Twid Antelme" has not been
assigned to his old quarters facing the street.
but to room looking on the courtyard,
with formidable gratings to the windows,
specially prepared for his benefit. His bed
is comfortable and the room we'll ventilated,
but the furniture palmer than during his
last visit to the Jail, and there is a more
prison-like appearance about the room than
the former comfortable apartment The
bed appears too small for a man of
such size as Tweed. The outside
room will always contain a Waterman,
and is only accessible through the war
dens room. 1t is stated that rigid watch
will be kept over TWEED henceforth. No
pleasant trips home, no favors, will be al
lowed; and the Boss will be treated, as to the
enforcement of prison rules like ordinary
prisoners. There are all sorts of rumors in
circulation about terrible disclosures TO
blast sundry politicians in good standing
which the Boss is expected TO make in his
indignation at being forcibly taken from the
shores of sunny Spain to winter in damp
apartment in Ludlow Street Jail.
After the preliminary excitement and con-
fusion. attendant on the arrival of the Boss
at his old headquarters had subsidized some
what the warden, Mr. Watson, had time to
talk, but he did not say much. He evil
IDENTIFY means to run the prison on plan of
his own, and shakes his head and stomach
knowingly when asked about the security
of Tweed's prison room. There were
few of those who formerly fed on
Tweed's bounty who made any effort to see
him tonight. Among the few was Mrs. Nc
Mullen his former mistress. She drove down
to Ludlow Street Jail, accompanied by one
Moore, her brother, one of Tweed's former
Ieelers. The Boss was surprised, and at first
refused to see her, but she persisted, and be
ordered her to be admitted after his son had
left. Mrs. McMullen was deeply Yelled and
her presence in Ludlow Street Jail to
meet her once princely patron was known
to few. The subject matter as to what the
course of the district attorneys Office would
be in the prosecution of Tweed was
preached, but Mr.. Phelps evinced decided
reticence on the question. He, however,
admitted that he had received an order on
the sheriff, calling for the production of
Tweed's body on charge of forgery. This is
to prevent his release in case he should pro-
cure the bail required in the civil suits
against him.
