Wanted in Washington.
Several days ago, it VIII be remembered,
two men, giving their names as Barnes and
Johnson, were caught after stealing :se'-
eral satchels from the Pennsylvania depot.
Among the satchels was one containing a
Pullman car uniform. Yesterday William
Wallace, cclored, identified the uniform as
his property. The men will serve sixty
days each on the chain gang, and at the
expiration of the time they will be turned
over to the Washington authorities if
wanted. There is some speculation as to
whether or not they will effect their es-
cape from the chain gang, which others,
charged with serious offenses, have some
tiIoes accomplished.
