POLK'S DETECTIVES RELEASED.
The Certificate of Character the PinkertOn
Agency Gives Price.


Detectives Price ana Cameron, the men
charged with assisting the deiaulting state
treasurer in his efforts tn escape, appeared
before district Judge Noonan last evening, in
pursuance of a writ of habcas corpus sued for
by their attorney, Mr.. Copeland, and, no one
appearing against them, were discharged from
custody.
Following is certificate of Mr.. Prices char
aCIcr. =
PINKERTON'S NATIONAL DETECTIVE AGENCY.
Chicago, January - 1855.
10 His Exccllcncy, Governor Alvin Hawkins,
Nashville, Tenn:
Dear Sir-i see by the kilograms in the
daily papers that Marsh 4. Polk, Tonnes
sees State Treasurer, has been arrested III
San Antonio, Texas, and had been allowed
To go by one of PnkertOn'S men, who said
that he had no right to detain him. | wish
10 correct this statement for fear You might
think il was some person connected with this
agency who arrested Polk and then allowed
him to go. The man who arrested Polk is John
Price, who was never in any way, shape or
manner connected with this or any other of Mr.
PmkertOns agencies or business. The first we
ever knew of Price was when General Butler
liberated him from prison at thCYtime he occu-
pied New Orleans. Price is disreputabic
character who would StOOp 10 any crime, and if
he arrested Polk he undoubtedly bribed him
and got away.
| write this lettcras Il matter of simple Justice
I" the agency of which am member.
W. A. PINKERTON, Superintendent.

short tine he fails. Another has none OF these
advantages ana yet In u short time builds up "A
large aud extensive establishment. One of
these batter individuals is our enterprising
merchant, j VI. Emerson. When.asked by MS
To what he attributedh his success in business ne
replied, that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by adyertis
tised, aud by not asking too much for any ATti-
Gle in his stock also by giving tho Gus TONER any
advantage he might, hY careful buying fGr

An Old san Antonio Fireman Summoned
to His Final Rest.

among US Franz Robert Frankel, one of San
Antonio's Oldest and well known citizens. lie
leaves behind him a sorrowing wife aud four
children, besides a large circle of affectionate
relatives, with whom the LIGHT sympathzes

Mr.. Frankel was probably born in Leipsic,
Saxony, and landed in America in IS4s. in
company with a gentleman named Mr.
Ronzeeben, when he was IS years old. He
afterwards joined Captain Hays expedition
to discover a road to Ell Paso, and after II
months Of hardship and privaton, during
which he had a narrow escape from death by
being shot in the neck by at Indian,
who. stole upon him while sleeping.
The whole expedition would have been
killed but for the escape of little boy who
was prisoner Of the Indians, and who told
Hays the story and so saved them. On his
return he became bartender for F. Guilbeau.
Mr.. Frankel was one Of the organizers
OF the first charter Of the first
lire company started in this city,
taken out in his and Louis Forks name.
He was one Of the oldest fremen in San An
tonic, and died of acute consumption at the
age OF 50, supposed to have been contracted
at Hugo & Schmeltzer's fire. His remains

noon.

Captain Shardein this morning received
letter from Mrs. L. L. Horans, the mother of
the girl who was said to have been lost In it
she begs the Captain to contradict the state
ment that her daughter had gone away. The
girl was sent out to buy some coal, and only
knowing the coal yard at the International
went there. She was at home on her moth
er's return. This is all very well, but the old
lady went to the police Office, screamed at the
Captain and wanted to turn out every officer
In town to look for her daughter, and so con-
fused was she that she gave the wrong name.
