Two companies Of U. 8. artillery arrived
this morning by tho Philadelphia railroad,
and proceeded to Fort MclIcnry to reinforce
the garrison at that point. They were met at
tho depot by crowd called ''The Peelers,"
who intended to giyo them warm reception,
but changed their minds, rs they
wero found to be q deter
mined looking set Of men. While the ex-
element was In full blast at the Camden
stroct station last night the leaders Of the
IN ,b felt the need Of firearms to cope more
successfully with their opponents, and some
one suggested that raid be made on tho fro
arm establishments throughout the city.
sTIziNo ARMS.
The proposition was Immediately acted upon
and tho first place broken into was the store
Of Alex. McComas, No. 81 South Calvert street.
and they were not long In guttin. IL, but tho
police scented their movements and had the
majority Of them In their clutch,, before tho
weapons could be turned TO deadly service, and
thus ended this programme summarily
II was not until daylight was breaking this
morning that quiet was restored throughout
the city limits.

land and with few exceptions all Of them ars
doing well. The story Is told that the MEM
bufs Of the 9Th regiment are fast losing their
military nrlor, and that the companies ara
getting thiancr In numbers rapidly. BY some
process citizens clothes have becn smuggled
