Capture Of Guptil, the Escaped Prisoner.
Charles Guptii, who escaped from the SUI
preme Court room on Tuesday, during the pro.
gress of his trial for larceny, has been cap
tured. He was followed from this city that
night to Scarboro, and there the trail was lost.
Yesterday, however, Deputy sheriffs Hartford
and Mitchell got on his track and started in
pursuit. They spent the afternoon in. riding
about that part of Scarboro where Guptil
resides, and to prevent suspicion they played
the part of apple tree canvassers. Towards
night they discovered that Guptil was hid in
the woods near his house. Taking q rounda-
bout course they came near the house and left
their team. They then crept down to the house
behind friendly stone wall. Getting in a To-
cation which would allow them to watch the
house undiscovered, they waited for their man.
He put ia an appearance about 7.30 p. M, and
Hartford going to one door and Mitchell the
other theyIentered and captured the man. He
took the arrest very quietly, and said he was in
quest of witnesses to rebut the lies told by the
government witnesses. He said that he walk
ed from the court room up Congress street and
out over the railroad bridge, reaching homie at
2 o'clock in the morning. he was brought to
this city and locked up. The officers deserve
much credit for the capture.

AN ExPLANATIoN.-Mr. Hiram Skillings,
the man referred to as having been bitten by
Mr.. Libby's mad dog, called at this Office yes
terday on his return from Boston. He says
that be does not think he was bitten. He was
playing with the dog and small piece of skin
was removed. He did not have 1t examined
and went to Boston on an entirely different
matter He does not think that the dog could
have been mad, for the day he saw him he was
playing in the water in the Basin, and it is
said that dog that is mad abhors water. Mr..
Skillings says he is not alarmed about his wound
in the least Another dog belonging at Brighton
Corner has disappeared 10 some such way as
did Mr.. Libby's.
