WARRANTS FOR DErEcT1vEs.-Attb the

WARRANTS FOR DETECTIvEs.-At the
instance of Attorney Lester warrants
were sworn out in Washington yester
day in the office OF the district attorney
for the arrest of DR.. A. 81. Glennan,
Detective James A. McDevitt, Daniel
McDevitt, his son, and Stephen A
Douglas Taylor, ais dug" Taylor
charging them with forcible entry
This case grows out of the recent alb
duction of DR.. Glennan's children from
the boarding house of Mrs. McGowen
$40 Twelfth street. Mr.. Lester is Mrs
McGowen's brother-in-law, and he has
been at work on the case ever since,
believing that there was provision Of
law by which the defendants could be
reached and punished.
The warrants were not served as
such documents usually are, the de-
PENDANTS having simply been notified to
appear in court this morning and an
swer to the charge. A number Of wit
nesses have been called, and the case
promises to be very interesting one.
Mr.. Lester is highly indignant over the
intrusion ct his sister in-law's house,
and is determined to make an example
of the parties concerned, ifpossible. He
says that three weeks have elapsed
since the occurrence, and that DR..
Glennan has made no effort to right
the wrong he committed, not even re-
plying to letters addressed to him on
the subject. Considerable interest
hinges on the disposition of the case, as
it takes up the subject of now far pri-
vate detectives may go in search of
evidence to meet their ends.

DEAN MAITLAND allowed a man
whom he called his friend to be SEN
fenced to seventeen years of penal SER
vitude, though he could have saved
him by opening his mouth. Mr.. Cleve-
land, by refusing to open his, puts the
people who have elected him Governor
and President in danger of political
servitude for as long a period. If he
really desires the election of the demo-
cratic ticket in his State-and it is
hardly conceivable that he can be un-
grateful enough not to do so-thele is
neither rhyme nor reason in refusing
to let the cuckoos know that he does,
so that they may follow suit. The ad-
ministration has powerful influence,
and there are thousands of voters in
New York who subject themselves to
it willingly.

GENERAL GRANT at least had good
common sense, and an evidence OF it
was his remark that the best way to
secure the repeal of an obnoxious law is
to enforce it rigidly. The contract Ia
Dor law is such law, inasmuch as IL
prohibits the importation OF skilled Ia
Dor in certain industries in which such
labor is scarce or does not exist here,
and which, if not prohibited, would I'M
part its skill to native workmen. But,
as it is law, it should be enforced, and
therefore it is only right that Mr..
Morton's hostler should be sent back to
England, and was only wrong that q
man who has been Vice President OF
the country, and who has sworn that he
would obey all its laws, should have
foresworn himself by deliberately
breaking the one referred to, and that
he has done so is by no means indica-
tive of his qualification for Governor OF
the most important State in the Union.

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.

Express Messenger Crutchiield and
Detective Hinde called in Cumberland,
Nd, yesterday at the Second National
Bank and examined some ofthe articles
of value taken from G. ]. Searcey, the
suspect in Jail there. Mr.. Crutchfeld
says there is no doubt about the lottery
tickets, chain, purses and gold eye.
glasses having been in the possession OF
the Adams Express Company at the
time of the robbery. Detective Hinde
took the numbers of the pawn tickets
aud watches. On one of the tickets
was the name c. J. Searcey, and on
another Alvin Courtney. Mr.. George
c. Hildt, of the express company, left
yesterday morning for the East, and
will return to-day to be present at the
habeas corpus hearing. A dispatch
from Cincinnati states thata man giving
his name as Charles A. Morganfeld,
and supposed to be the man who pass
ed through Cumberland on train No. l
on last Tuesday night, had been taken,
and on his person was found pill box
on which was printed the name
of H. L. Leievre & Son, of Cumber-
land. A correspondent called on
MIR. Lefevre yesterday morning, and
found that on last Monday night a
short, heavy-set man called at his drug
store and was waited on by Mr.. VIM.
Lefevre, of that firm. The man pur-
chased one dozen three-grain quinine
capsules and some perfumery, his bill
amounting to about 81. MIR. Leteyre
saws that he does not remember how
the man was dressed. 1t is thought
that at the trial of Searcey there will
be some startling revelations.
Charles Morganfeld, the suspected
Quantico robber, now under arrest at
Cincinnati, was notified at the hospital
yesterday that it was not necessary to
amputate his broken leg. This gave
him the greatest satisfaction and he
consented to talk. He said he was q
gambler and spent his summers in the
North and bis winters in the South.
Bling asked how he came to break his
leg boarding freight train, he said he
had come FROM Pittsburg on freight
and had gotten off at Winton Place.
He then tried to board another and
was hurt. He denied having been re-
Gently in Cumberland, Md, but when
asked how he got pill box with the
name of Cumberland druggist, be
said he might have passed through
Cumberland.
Gov. O'Ferrall last night issued a
requisition upon the Governor of Mary
land for c. J. Searcey, now in Jail in
Cumberland charged with being impli-
Gated in the Aqua creek train robbery.
The papers were delivered to Sheriff
Kennedy, of Stafford county, who left
this morning for Annapolis to present
the papers to Maryland's executive.
Engineer Gallagher, who was on the
engine OF the train which was held up,
has made report of the affair to the
railroad company, in which he states
that he saw but two robbers, and feels
sure that there were no more in the
gang. This is not in line with Gala
eher's statements to reporters at the
time, but it is now pretty well estab-
lished that there were not seven rob-
bers, as has been supposed. The ex.
press company officials believe there
were not more than three men con-
cerned in the robbery,

Mr.. Hugh J. Grant, who was Mayor

Yesterday afternoon declared MIR. Grant

ceived there that llr. Strauss will accord
Mr.. Grant his most cordial support.

abandoned hope of an agreement on candl-
dates by Tammany and the State democracy,
and he will make one more attempt to induce
