LODGED IN JAIL.
Charles Goodman Rack in Castle crocs

Deputy Marshal williams and Oficer ONeil ar
rived yesterday morning in the e45 train from Har
pers Ferry, Va, bringing with them Charles Good
man. BY telegram to Marshal Douglas, from
Point Of Rocks, Nd, incorrectly transmitted car
riase and four bsiliffs were at the depot to meet
tho party, whereas Deputy Marshal Williams had
asked only for four men TO assist in carrying the
injured man to jail.
When the train arrived at the station there were
none OF Goodman's friends on hand TO meet him,
which can be accounted for by the fact Of the un.
certainty as to the time Of the arrival Of the officers
with their prisoner. Goodman was transferred TO
the custody OF Deputy Marshal Douglass and Bsilif
Edwards, and by them removed 10 Jail. where he Is
at last safely confined and probably will give up
all ideas OF escape therefrUm, at least until he re-
covers from his injuries and regains his strength.

some of:Goodman's friends might be already on
guard, and would communicate TO him timely
warning, starting him once more fleeing from jus
