steamship Germanic. Two ladies were
pointed out to her as acting in very sus-
picious manner, and were turned over to
her for examination. Although they pro-
tested an inspection resulted in the dis
covery of several silk handkerchiefs, three
pieces of silk and one piece of dress goods
concealed upon their persons. The ladies
are reported to be from Ohio. The goods
were sent to the seizure room of the custom
house.
An important seizure was also made by
one of the officers at the garden few DAYS
since, and trunk said to contain whole
bridal outfit, for which claim has been
made against the steamship company for
$500, its estimated value, by its reputed
owners. 1t has been confded to the care of
Gen. Noble, at the seizure room. 1t was
taken from the Nevada, and was in the pos.
session of the purser of the ship, but was
not entered on the manifest for some time.
1t wanted an owner, and was brought over
ostensiby as the property of lady friend
