especially sorrowful to a certain MILL
merry firm on Broad near Fourth street,
where Mrs Schwane. on the day before
hcr departure. borrowed two bonnets
from which her husband was TO select
one for her adornment. Neither Of the
two bonnets were returned.
one OF the clues received by the
United States authorities was that
Schwane was somewhere living on the
Eastern Shore. Mr. Peasants, there
fore, took a trip TO that section OF the
State to make an investigation. He met
the captain of a sailing vessel who stat
ed that he had not only met Schwane,
but could trace his whereabouts by a
business card. which the man had given
HIM, and which he had at his home.
Mr.. Peasants handed him self-address-
cd stamped envelope, and received the
promise that this card would be prompt
~ sent to him.
THE CARD.
The sea captain kept his word. and a
few days later Mr.. Peasants received at
his Office the following card:

from that moment had comparatively
easy sailing. Copies OF the indictments
we're sent 10 the United States authori-
ties in Trenton. n. j.. and by the latter
q bench warrant was issued for
Schwane's arrest. As soon as the Judge
Of this district has signed the warrant
for his removal, which will likely be
done in a day or two. Schwane will be
brought to Richmond by the Deputy Mar
shall Of Newark, and his case will come
up in the United States Court of this
district during the November term.
When Schwane was selling his fried
oysters in this city in the handsome
paper boxes decorated with his photo
graph. Of which the above is a specimen.
he purchased his oysters from Captain
Walker. on the Eastern Shore. IL IS
understood that the FISHERMAN had to
share the fate of Schwane's other GUS
toners. and that his bill had run up to
about 5000 by the time of the approaching
reunion. Captain Walker apparently was
determined not TO lose his money. so he
put in an appearance in Richmond just
before the beginning of the reunion. He
kindly offered his services to Schwane as
cashier in his restaurant during the busy
days, and the restauronteur for reasons
best known 10 himself. did not attempt
to decline the offer. On the day of set
tlement. after the reunion. it is said
Captain Walker just looked out for
No. /. and after squarng up his own
claim. turned over the balance to
Schwane.
Recently Captain Walker received n
communication from Schwane. wherein
the latter asked him for a new supply of
oysters on this occasion II was that
Captain Walker come into possession Of
Schwanes business card.
