Freight Thieves Unearthed.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 9.-For long time numer- ous articles of value have been missing from the freight cars and warehouses of the Balti- more and Ohio road in this city. Special officers have been Investigating the matter. and yesterday Constable Murphy, aided by other officers, unearthed large ''fence" on Second avenue, recovering surprising quan- tity of goods. John Moore, Jack Brlnton, John Connors, "Fatty" Brinton, Tom Brin- ton, Mrs Brinton and two daughters were arrested and locked up.

On the second floor were found several boxes filled with silks, lace handkerchiefs, gold watches, silverware, cutlery, umbrellas, etc. In the house of Mrs. Brinton was found a lot more of the stolen goods.
