Miss Garrison at Heme.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-Oliver Garrison
says Miss Garrison has been found, and
now is at the house of her uncle, on
Pine street. He does not think she suf-
fered any violence at the hands of her
abductors, other than being chloro-
formed on Saturday last, when the ruff
fans obtained possession of her person.
That she was chloroformed, however, is
absolutely certain, though Miss Garri-
son has quite lost her memory as to the
place and occurrence.
The young lady was returned this
evening by one of the ruffians, who prob
ably became alarmed at the great ex-
citement of the public, and the proba-
bility of his punishment. The young
lady's suffering from the chloroform is
great, but she is not serirusly i'll. Two
ruffians have been arrested. They be-
long to a gang of Carondolet hoodlums.
