Cumberland, Md, Oct. l7.-Ihls morn
ing, about o'clock, Officer Beck noticed
a man trying to board the west-bound OK
press train with two satchels. He an
swered the description of one of the men
implicated in the robbery of the express
! car at Quantico, Va, last week. He
started to run, but was caught by the
officer. Upon being searched, 1855 was
found hidden in two wooden stockings.
He had silver watch, gold watch, lot
of pawn tickets and three silver pocket
books and also Colts navy revolver on
his person. There were forty-four cart
ridges in his pocket and memorandum
book showing where
THE ENTIRE DOODLE
had been divided between the men. In
one of his satchels were found old muddy
shoes, slouch hat and some wearing ap-
parel that looked like DISCUSSES. He
asked to be taken to water closet and
while there tried to hide another revolver
and some money, but was caught in the
act. The man weighs at least 160 pounds,
is six feet tall, has a smooth face and
dresses neatly. 1t was discovered thas he
arrived in this city at II o'clock yester-
day morning, and lost several hundred
dollars in gambling house. The police
are confident that they have one of the
robbers. He is very sullen, but before
his commitment told number of con-
flicting stories.
THREE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
New York.-Of the seven Quantico
train robbers, the Adams Express COM
pany believes that three are now under
arrest. The Cumberland suspect, Presi-
dent Weir believes, was one of the three
men under surveillance who passed
through Front Royal, Va, Monday night.
They bought new clothes and were traced
to the Norfolk g. Western train. Subse-
quently, two were apprehended at Cherry
Run and sent to Jail at Martinsburg.
Weir is positive that the total amount
stolen does not exceed $4,000.
OFFICERS AFTER THE OTHERS.
Observation-Disclosures Green, who
arrived in Washington at noon to-day,
reported that the authorities were on the
track of the four men, in addition to the
three already arrested for the Quantico
robbery. Two, he says, have been placed
under arrest at Martinsburg, who board
ed freight train this morning. At
Shenandoah Junction, between Martins
burg and Harper's Ferry, the railroad
men informed Conductor Green that two
men had purchased tickets there this
morning, whom the agent thought to be
Suspicious characters. The conductor
says that the line Of this railroad has been
infested with teughs for several weeks.
They have been to Maryland county fairs
and are now seeking other fields. This
statement is important es indicating that
the men in Jail may have other reasons
than participating in the train robbery
for wishing to avoid the officials.

men who were evidently waiting for him.
