Though nothing more has been done
since the arrest OF the Clark family
their arrest continues to be the chief
topic OF conversation. According to
rumors many arrests were to have
been made before this time. Public
expectation has been Kept on tiptoe In
consequence of these ruinor5 but with
out qualification.
According to reports, Forty Acres,
Highlands and other places have Lem
envlroned by u Gordon Of detectives
ready to seoopnet the places but Sat
urday passed. the darkness OF Satur-
day night gave place to a brilliant
Sunday mornings sun, Sunday and
Sunday night passed by bringing on u
foggy Monday morning n good time
to catch game under cover and Mon
day until noon has gone and no more
new arrests have been made.
Wherever cab is seen in the Western
part Of the city when no wedding Is
known to be In progress. the de1tec-
tives get the credit for it, but with all
this excitement, this lying around
everywhere. nothing new has been
brought to the light for newsgatherers
to pick up, and they are compelled to
rehash the the old story, which has not
lost all its freshness yet.
Notwithstanding tnat II has been
stated with great positiveness that the
Clarks lived III Forty Acres, residents
of that locality can be found wno knew
them there and 1t is not believed they
lived there.
{ A gentleman told a representative OF
| tue REPUBLICAN yesterday that lie knew
them we'll when they lived on II It'll 10
farm of the DuPonts near Rocklhnd.

cattle.
lhey wara then con sidaral w}ll.to
do, reliable people. A gentleman at
hocklHud sad this morning that the
| Clnrks lived on little place of Du-
Points near No. school house and
worked about the powder yards drlv-
ing teams and doing odd chores. Some
thro' years ago they left aud removed
to the city.
The Clarks are still confined in New
Castle jail, of course being unable TO
procure tho Sl5. 00D bail each necessary
to release them. Nobody has called Ia
ste them. nor have they snid any thing
more in regard to tha cause for which
they are arrested except to deny their
guilt.
In reference to the latter there is a
Il division of public sentiment, nj any
people being disposed to take very
little stock IN the detectives. though
there has been IA strong disposition
manifested tn connect the ClIrks in
some way with the great powder eX-
plusion of October, 1879, there mas been
no charges ind'it' against them Dy the
detecUtVt'- on that score. and though
it ~ generally admitted that person
w.iU would set lire to II Darn full OF
live 81 ock would be bad enough to firn
a magazine, Clark, IL is thoaght, was
too coward y to apply the n Itch as
his ovid ME would have been in dan
ger.
