PH1Lrppr, October 5.-Deputy United
States Marshal w. W. Teter, in company
with Granville Sternman, OF Valley dis.
trict, this county; Col. Shaileross, of your
city, s. T. Hoaghton, of Grafton, and De-
tectiye Troy, Of Baltimore, arrived here
last evening, having in custody Albert
Price, Noah Kittle and Jacob I. Hoffman,
all Of this county, charged with robbing
the mail on the public highway above this
place the 18th OF September last. What
evidence has been gathered against these
parties Is not yet known, but it is under
stood to be sufficiently strong enough to
insure conviction. The three men were
taken to Clarksburg to-day.
Your readers will remembers that Price
was withthe postman at the time of the
robbery. All three are accused by Wat.
kins, OF Red Man notoriety, now confined
in the iaihof your city, as beiI.. members
of the party that effected the Liberation OF
himself and Harsh from the Jail Of this
county in November, 1851 Each man is
known to be "king all" in the Red Man
organization, and there are now
several indictments for felony
standing against Price, which
would have been tried AZ the coming term
of the circuit cont had IL not been for
United States interference. II is q settled
conviction in the minds OF all thinking men
here that II was the intention OF that ele-
ment of the Regulars, of which Price and
his immediate followers were members, 70
become amateur Jesse James's and begin q
life of general thieving and plundering.
Knowing this our people determined TO nip
the wretched project in the bud, and they
have, 1t is believed, succeeded.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Aug ust 2S.-
There were 46 new cases of yellow

climax here. Dr. Murray, of the

writes that nurses and supplies have
arrived Mayor Carson and Rev.
NJ. Hall have been attacked. In
Matamoras the disease has about run
it's course. se :
New YORK, August 26.-A Mata-
moras, Mexico, special to the Post
says: The number of new cases of
yellow fever here is decreasing, but
a ship load of recruits for the army,

A New Blackmailing Dodge.

Yesterday morning, while Andrew john
son, colored, a brakeman ON the Il. T., Va.
& Ga. Railroad, was coupling up for freight
No. 8, on which he was to go out, he was
heard to suddenly scream out, at distress
ing rate, that he was crushed to death
between the cars, and fell down, apparent
ly suffering great pain. He was taken
up and conveyed to the yardmaster's office,
and the case being reported to Capt. Nc.
Dooley, DR.. Geo. E. Wiley and DIR. c..
Deaderick were both summoned to his as
sistance. A thorough and complete exam
ination by both failed, however, to reveal
the slightest bruise or injury of any charac
ter, although he was apparently almost
dead. He lay there most all day, and find
ing that he was beat at his game, took the
passenger train yesterday evening and left
the city.
To all appearances, it was nothing but 9
sharp trick on Johnson's part to get some
attention and damages, he having received
no injury whatever, but it is little aheae
of any trick we have ever heard of before.
