DYNAMICERS AT KEY WEST.
A Cuban Arrested for Having ExpIO
siyes in His Possession,

KEY WEST, FLA, June 12.-Upon the
arrival of the Mallory steamer late last
night, from New York, Federico Gil
Marero was arrested on chage of having
explosives ia his possession, upon affidavit
of the United States district attorney
Since the quarantine season the Mallory
steamers have not come to the wharf, but
anchor at quarantine grounds. The
passengers and freight were brought
on shore in boats, and upon Ma
rero stepping into the boat he was
arrested by United States marshal un
der warrant from United States Commits
sioner Locke and lodged in Jail. The in
formation was probably received from
officials in New York. Marero, resident
of Key West, went to New York few
weeks ago, and his mission was evidently
known through detectives Upon search
ing his baggage the officials found iuEe
detonating cups, and books and instruc
tions upon the manufacture of dynamite
The articles were submitted to an ex
pert officer OF the frigate Galena
and the conclusions arrived at were
that Marero had the materials and in
struciions for making dynamite anC
such articles as could not be made
here. Marero was arraigned before Com
o'clock tomorrow morning in S2G0(
bond. Marero is a Cuban, and affected
not TO speak English until the officers
com menced searching his baggage, wher
he exclaimed; ~ did not think baggage
was searched here coming from American
ports. The vigilance of t e officials
doubtless caused the dynamiters to impor
separately the materials aud manufacture
here.

COLDWATER, MISS.
A Boys Long Search for * il Sister
Singular Coincidence.


Singular Coincidence.
lcoRREsPoSDENcE OF THE APPEAL-I
CoLDwATER, June ll.-Mr. Elijah J.
Walker, former and we'll known resident
of this county, died recently at Owens
boro, KY, where he lived, leaving little
boy, Andrew, thirteen years cid. Andrew
knew that he once had sister living at
Coldwater, and he started in search of her.
After tedious journey for the little fel-
low, he landed at South Carrollton, KY,
about $50 miles from where he started,
and was informed that he was going il the
right direction for Coldwater, Mich
where so much OF cur mail matter goes),
and directly away from Coldwater, Miss.
Judge Coleman discovered his error, and
very kindly took him in charge and wrote
to this place that the boy was there in
search of his sister, Mrs. Alice Devlin. A
telegram was returned Immediately re-
questing the judge to keep him until
means could be sent to bring him TO his
destination, but Andrew left before its ar
rival and all trace OF him was gone for a
| time. He returned to O4ensboro, and
started again for Coldwater, Miss.
He was next picked up in Cairo, III by
| Mr.. Norris After he had been with the
/ family about week, IN reply to questions
he said he had no home, but one of his
sisters used to live in Cairo, and gave the
name of the lady who lived just acros, the
| street.
Mrs. Morris went over early next morn
| ing and asked Mrs. Shelton if she had
| brother named Andrew, and if he had
! two thumbs on one hand, to which she
replied affirmatively, and joyous meeting
of the sister and brother soon took place.
Mr.. Shelton wrote to the postmistress
here to find out what had become OF Mrs.
Alice Devlin. He gave information as to
the safety and whereabouts of Andrew,
| without, however, mentioning that he was
| the husband OF Mary, the sister, who, Mrs.
Devlin was informed. had died with yellow
fever in 1873. Their letters had mis-
carried, and the sisters had los. each other
entirely.
On Monday evening Mrs. Mary Shelton
and Andrew landed at Coldwater and
fastened to the residence of their sister,
Mrs. Alice Devlin, and thus was accom-
plished happy reunion after years of
separation by this singular coincidence.
Little Andrew, while enduring the tolls
and hardships of long and trying trip in
search OF one sister, accidentally found the
other, and was the means of bringing
them all together again. GENTIAN.

loogREsPoNDENCE OF TIE APPEAL
GRAY's, June l0.-Considerable interest
is just now being manifested in the race
for prosecuting attorney of this district.
The contest in this county (Woodruff) will
be between the Hon. Greenfield Quarles,
OF Helena, and Capt. G. A. Otey, of Mari
anna. Capt. Otey will, we think, get the
nomination. However, the township con-
ventioas on the I4th and the county con-
vention on the 10th instant will decide the
question. We would be prond to see
Capt. Otey receive the majority of votes in
the Judicial convention, he is so well-ftted
for the position, having once been our
district attorney.
The crowd at the grand barbecue at
Riverside, the terminus of the Batesville
and Brinkley railroad, was estimated at
2500 people. the Hon. Simon p. Hughes
and MIR. Fletcher, being the prominent
candidates for Governor, both of whom
spoke, as well as other gentlemen for the
different State and district Offices "Sinon

Messrs. Crassett & Scales, of Deview, who

young friend Lee Robbins, who is very
popular here and tip-top salesman. Two
more deserving young men cannot be
