oDer was released.
The Baltimore Sun has special from Fred

letter received by Mr.. John c. Motter, state s
att ror Federek county ie N canV
April Is, which says: 81 write 10 say tnaI
negro named James Carroll committed an out
nv absence from home and 1 am advised to
write to you as the proper person TO prosecute
the case. Carroll had on when he left here an
old SLOUGH hat without band, new pair of
pants and run down pair Of shoes. He is Of
medium size, and has rather repulstve look
ing countenance: Use every effort In your
rover to have him arrested, for, besides the
outrage, he has left my wife In very precaii-
Gus condition from severe choking and fright"
The following additional particulars have
been gathered-On Monday night the greater
portion OF the male population of Mcksviie
were attending q ball given In the village 10
celebration Of the Easter holidays. Mr.. Thomas
was on visit to Point of Rocks. Taking ad-
vantage of these circumstances the negro Car

bohcai purpose of the flend was accomplished,
Mrs Thnmass is a small, delicate woman. aged
about 80 years, and the mother of five or six
children. She is the daughter of Thomas Trun-
die, a prominent and highly respected farmer
living lear LiCkSyfl,e. The husband Is son of
tie late Captain Richard Thomas, who was a
Weliknown citizen OF this county. AS soon as
the outrage became known In the village the
greatest excitement and indignation was |
aroused, and almost Immediately more than
fifty armed men began securing the country in |
search OF the william. Up to this time, however,
he has eluded arrest. II caught, it Is thought |
he will certainly be lynched. Carroll was for |
merry employed on the canal as bOatman and |

ARREST OF THE ALLEGED PERPETRAToR. |
To-day about noon Carroll was discovered In |
In the canal Office by officer Volk- |

when he ran, but was run down. He was taken !
TO the station, and Lieutenant Skppon tele- |
graphed the fact to headquarters. Besides cor |
exactly with the description given, |
he was fully identified by Mr.. Thomas, the hus-
band Of the victim. He, however, asserted his
innocence, and expressed a readiness to 60 to
