WHAT A wATcHMAN SAW.

WHAT A wATCHMAN SAW.
Windmill Island. opposite Philadelphia,
has been used for years by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company as reposi-
tory for coal. At the upper northern end
is q logwood dye-works, where the work
men are employed night and day. Three
watchmen patrol The island during the night
to protect the property OF their employers
from river thieves and pirates, and believ-
ing that II anything unusual had occurred
in the vicinity Of the island during tneir
hours Of duty they would be cOgniZant Of
it, your correspondent procured boat and
elected a landing close by the scene OF the
supposed suicide. William Winters, one
OF the watchmen, was found after consid-
cradle difficulty, and when asked whether
he had observed. any unusual stir In the
night, replied:
"Wel, no; can't say that / did. My
two dogs bark incessantly every night, and
last night the same as usual. But tell you
what ! saw. Some time about half-past
or quarter OF o'clock'this morning saw
q small boat shoot out from the eastern side
of the island there and row swiftly up the
river. AS near as | could make out there
were three men in her, and they rowed into
the middle OF the channel between here aud
the jersey shore, and then on up the river.
They carried no lights OF any description,
and lost sight OF them when they got op-
posite Market street or thereabouts."
Gould man get on the island at its
northern end and get 10 the point you indi-
cate without the knowledge OF you or your

Whether or not the suicide is a genuine
one is a question. Buchanan is an old hand
at defying justice and escaping the penalty
OF his misdeeds, and it would not be at all
unlikely that he had adopted this plan OF
apparent self-destruction to evade appear
ing for trial, and at the same time release
his bondsmen from liabilities. All the
morning the harbor police have been
dragging the Delaware river for the
body Of the notorious CDR" Buchanan,
but without success. One OF the ferry
boat hands says that when he last saw
the Doctor " he was striking out lively for
the lower end OF Windmill island" but
whether he is dead or not it is now con-
ceded that he is out OF the jurisdiction OF
the United States District Court. He was
held in $4,000 bail on the 10th OF June last
by the United States commissioner, and q
true bill was found against HIM yesterday
by the grand jury for using the mail to as.
sist in bis bogus-diploma trade. The United
states district attorney applied to Judge
Butler in court this morning TO have
Buchanan's bail forfeited; but cODsidera-
tion OF the matter was postponed until
Thursday next.
