CAPTAIN GEORGE D. WISE IN THE CITY.
Captain George ID. Wise, who has been
canyassiDg for the Democratic ticket in the
Southwest, arrived here yesterday, having,
as is supposed, cancelled his immediate en-
gagemenls TO come here to see Mr.. Lewis
concerning this very matter. When he got
here he was for the first time apprised Of
the position Of Affairs, and. with one or two
friends, got into a carriage, as the police
were Informed, and drove out OF the city,
with the supposed object Of taking a train
for Washington at distance from the city.
A warrant was sworn out before Justice
Laube by Captain Epps. charging Captain
Wise, Mr.. BOhanndn, and j. NJ. Wise, Esq,
(who left together in the carriage,) with
being about to break the peace. They were
followed out into the county. where they
were seen near the Fair.Grounds waiting
for the northern-bOuDd train. Captain
George Wise escaped the police entirely.
CAPTAIN B0hanDan was arrested and parOled.
Mr.. James NJ. Wise was also arrested
there, or upon returning TO the city.
.r. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Sergeant Epps and Officer Charters, Of
the Third precinct, went up the Frederleks-
burg road, and when near the shops saw
three men standing on the track evidently
waiting for the train. They were recog-
nized as Captain George ID. Wise and
Messrs. J. NJ. Wise and G. A. Bo-
hannan. As soon as these gentlemen
saw the officers approaching they start
ed of, but tbe officers succeeded in
capturing Captain Behannau, who was
taken to the Third police station and re-
leased on BAIL subsequently Mr.. j. NJ.
