RUN, DOWN AT LAST.

ONE OF THE VAXDALIA . DERERS. MURTUE SEARCH IS THE SWAMP OS THE TRACK CAP1TTKB OP BRIDOKMAN THK ROBBERS ESCiBKD IN MAIL JTO DOUBT ABOUT TBE MAN. It will be seen by the following extract from the Terre Haute Gazette of Saturday night that the search for the railroad murderersa hss been so far successful that one of them has been taken: Detectives Ilazen, of Cincinnati, and Lonergan and Thiel, of St. Louis, were employed to work np the casein the interests of tho express and railroad companies. On the heel of the murder bezan the arreeta. Edmons and Cochran, the saloon keepers, were first. Since tbat time the arrests have averaged two per day.j North, sontb, east and west, tramps, poor, miserable, harmless and worth less tramps, have been taken in. With that acutenees which detectives have for a stock in trace, tbej soon succeeded in discovering that the meu they were in search of (the two men who jumped aboard the engine) had two dnys before the murder gone wet on tbe Vandalia, and got off at the tank. It is. said row that it was their intention to rob the west bound traiD, but tbe accomplices failed to be on time. These two men were closely observed, by some accident on the part ol the conductor, and the following DESCRIPTION OBTAINED'. The first is 30 years old, 5 lett 9 inches high, weighs about 153 or ICO, light moustache and chin beard, light complexion, sunken hazel eyes ; wore, when last seen, dark pants and vest, light linen coat and soft black hat. The second is of the same sge, 5 feet 7 inches high, weighs 135 to 1-15 pounds, black hair, slightly , curly, keen black eyes, black moustache od imperial; wore, when last seen, dark pants and vest, long lioen coat i and sof; black hat. With this description in band the detectives, amateur and professional, went to work wi'havioi. Step by step tbe robbers were trailed from the spot where the attempt was made to break into the car where they were scared ofl by a section hand near by, to their wagon, thence through the woods to Greenup. Here the trail was crossed and became indistinct and almost obliterated. This was a damper on the ardor of many ol the parties inipursuit. Detectives Thiel, Lonejgan and Hazen, however, parIt was, then, into this sinister region that tbe murderers of Miio Karnes bad lied. The dtuntless detectives determined to tallow. Thiel, Lonergan and Haz9n, each in charge of a party, started in the direction of tbe swamp. Each party bad the same objective point, though at the start each pursued a line quite distant from tbe other, yet gradually converging, like tbe ribs of a fan. Terre Haute officers were communicated with, and Officers Van lever, Ragen, Gibson, Johnson and Deputy Marshal Ab. Buckingham were put on tbe trail. They plunged into the countrv from Robinson, on tbe P. it D. R. R., seven miles from Marshall, Ills. On horse back, they slowly went thorough the country southward. They tracod the men from house to house. Here they purchased clothing again they had taken supper, and alwavs armed with those heavy navy revolyera. there could be no doubt as to the identity of the men. The tugitivos did all their travelling by night, as was evidencod by the discovery that they had procured breakfast at a . bona and supper at a cabin only a half mile , distant. Their actions lrom the time they left Greenup are mi nutely known. Tho detectives knew what they ate, and how they ate, what clothes they have worn and where they slept each .light, alone and cowery in the last Lesses of the morass, banntod probabiy by the scene of the murder with their victim dying at their feet. They finally pushed THROUGH TO VIS CESS ES. Tbey found the county in arms. Here they met tbe other three detectives. Vandever and Jehnson were obliged to return home, and tbey accordingly started home, accom panied by Deputy Marshal Buckingham,who was obliged to return on account of ilines Tley bad hardly left on the north ward bound train which arrives here at 1 p. m., when the people of ViDcennes were summoned to the court house by the ringing of tbe bell. When tbe crowd had assembled, Detective Lonergan, of St. Louis, arose and addressed them. He gave a his tor7 of the case from the beßiuning, detaillog the search minutely, and then stated tbat on Thursday evening tho fu2itives had bjen seen in tbe swamp two miles from Viuecnnps, and on yesterday morning t-ix miles distant. He closed by exhorting tbe people to assist him and his colleagues in the search. Two hun dred men at once volunteered to sur round the swarnn and tuut tbern down. Tbe pistols with which tbe murder was committed are known to have been the "44 Smith V Wessjn," and were purchased at Beck's Indianapolis slore. The meu are bevond nuestion i n netwn the Embarass and Wabash rivers. ito no likelihood of their escaping, it Indeed they are not now in baud. One of the MOST CURIOUS m.COVR!FS is that the itinrJerers vvero prepared ID flzht. as tbev were arrived ia steel breas. plates and Jessup steel masks. The latte weighed between ten and eleven pounds. This is known to be a fact aa tbe lower por tious of the breast plates were found inalenca corncTfbaving been thrown there on account of being so lone as to ioipode locomotion. It is kuown that tbe armor lor both of these men was put together in Edmons's saloon, the day betöre the murder. Thus, link by link, tbe chain of evidence is rl vited about tbe two salom keepers. and their connection with the dastardlv deed is now beyond question. Wheä several days ago tbe four officers were sent to .tbe seat of war, tbey went at once to Robinson, 111. Tiiey were joined at tbat point by ex-Sheriff Houston. Tbe pany then embarked in two spring Wtogona and rode south all night. Here aud tbere they found a clue to their men. At Morea, IS miles south, they lost all trace of the men. They had been there las: Saturday night. The officers pushed on further, still not finding Anything of tbeir men nntil they lonnd themselves at Lawrenceville, on the O. M.lwlt, a few miles west or incenne. Ileretbey strack a fresh scent, and, after guarding a clump of woods all night, to fiod it contained nothing in tse morning, they conclude ü . come home, feeling weary, sick and fxtu....-aed. TLey went to -Viu-cannes yesterday, and under the Influence of a good meal and a wash, tbey began to feci btter. Coming up the E. & C. It. R , they reached Oakland, where they heard something that promised a clue. Gibson and Reagan were left off there. Johnston and Vandever came up here and reported to Chief Shew maker, and were sent back at once. Oakland Is on the E. fc C. railroad, the other side of Sullivan. When I tt;e omcers were reunieu, inev again wens on the search, still accompanied by Hons

ton. At a point on the Wabash river, s'x

miles from Oakland.-tbev discovered where the TWO MEN HAD CROSSED to a little boatthas lay upon the Indiana shore. This craft was visited, but no one was found in it. It was a floating whiaky siop, that being its ostensible business, though it is probably a "fence" for stolen goods. Tbo officers had ascertained in some inscrutable manner, tbat both tnv.n bad been seen to enter this bot. Nothing was left to be done but to call at the nearest house. This was done with the greatest difficulty, aa it was found necessary to cross tbe river and also to wade this way through a perfect jangle. An idea of ita densenessmay be given when we tell that it tooK tne man bunter two hours to get over a mile and a half of ground. This alter dark, through an unknown country, with unseen and hidden dangers about them. It wasn't very cheerful, to sav the best of it. At last.in a little cleariEg which the officers approached cautiously, they saw two men sitting in front of the cabin talking togotner. "That is our man," said Vandever, designating one of them. The party laid low and crept up cautiously. Vandever approached and held out bis band. now do you do. Bill." he said to tbe tallest of the men. This man bold out bis hand and grasped Ei's.

At that instant, ou a civcn iignai. the officers leveled their revolvers t this ini'i. lie hoid up his bands, Gibson disarmed him, and the man was ia their power. He had managed some time before to daposD ol his two large revolvers, and when searched, nothing was found upon him tut a" sui:l five-shooting pistol and a bowieknif. When the officers started from Oikland. 150 citizens went with them as far as the river. They declined going lurther. When the officers STARTED BACK WITH BRIDOEMAX crowd followed, They knev bim. Sullivan cjunty, in the peni(that is the murderer), tho talking of lynching him. He had formerly lived in bad terved two terms tentiary, and had killed . a man there. The prisoner was securely bound, put In an express wagon, and Vandever and Johnston stood guard over him during the whole night. This morning they brought him to the city as stated above. He is, beyond any question, one of tbe murderers,as be answers In every particular the description or the largest one of tbe two, which we publish elsewhere in this article. He is an old jail bird, and has learned discretion lrom former episodes, and in consequence refuses to talk. His parter is not lar off and we expect that he, too, will be captured to-day, as the officers and about two hundred citizens are in hot pursuit. Officer Vandever, tired and exhausted though he was, went east with certain officials of tbe road at 2 p. m , In tending to go to Shelby vllle, where a man was arrested this morning who is looked on with suspicion. Tbe detectives art ot the opinion that the scheme was concocted in Snelbyville, Indiana. Conductor John McMÄhon, was the person who recognized the murderers, as it was on bis train tbat they went west . two days before. They at that time had the steel armor,, which figures in the case, in tbeir possession. All day tho station house has oeeu surrounded by a large but reasonably quiet crowd, and prom inent among them was a great number of locomotive engineers. The chief of police has issued an order that no person be al lowed to see tbe prisoner. This morning there were placed in Byer's window two suits of steel armor which were worn by the murderers. They were found in a corn field by Detective II. Thiel and a party consisting of L. Hazen, George Farrington and otbers. It was dropped there, while the blood-stained villains were fleeing from sight ot their victim. THE BRITISH LION. LET HIM ROAR AGAIN". THE FOURTH OF JCLY SNARL OF THE LONDON STASDAED OCR IS3AXE REVOLT AS O OUR GENERAULY DEPLORABLE CONDITION. The following 13 tho editorial lrom the London Standard which provoked eo much comment at the time of its appearance: Tto Fourth of July tailing tnis year on a Sunday, tbe Americans were obliged to postpone their demon3tration9-of good will and brotherly love to the nation over whom they cslebrato an annual triumph tin yesterday, when they assembled in tb9 Crystal Palace tc boast, in England and in the face of the Eng lish nation, the disruption of the British empire. It is hardly necessary to say tbat none- but Americans would venture on such a display oi bad taste and disc curtesy, and none bat Englishmen would tolerate it. What would be thought ot ns were we to celebrate tbe anniversary ot Watarloo by a public dinner in Pat is and what would become ot the celeorants? Would tbe Belgians propose to hold, at the Hague or In Amsterdam, a public festival in honor of their snccesstul revolt from Holland, or, despite the cordial fo-'oling which now exists b3tween Austria and Italy, would Italians propose or Aastrians permit a public dinner at Vienna on the anniversaries of Solferino and Sadowa? It is equally needless to say that since our American guests have not auflioient sense of the becoming to abb tain from this kind oi offensive self-glorification, it would never enter into the head ot any. Englishman to disturb them, though wa think it is hardly decent forny loyal Englishman to join in a demonstration which, whatever it immediate form and actual incidents, avowedly commemorates a great dishonor sustained by English arms and a grave disaster to the British Empire. Such participation may be permitted to men like Mr, Bright, wbo rejoice in everything that tends to impair the power and awaken the national spirit of their country, or like Lord Granville and Lord Kiinbeney, who have done their best to deprive England oi ber remaining possessions. But it should be recognized that no desire to conciliate, no friendly feeling toward our kinsmen and former fellow-subjects, should induce any man who is prcud of his country's past and devoted to her present greatness, to participate in a festival whic1! has its origin in tbe worst and MOST DISCREDITABLE DISASTER she ever sustained. Let ns hope that in future,-as the Manchester school dies out, and the Whigs learn that though England bas forgiven the political heirs of Fox, febe has never condoned tbe disloyalty which exiled him and Lis adherents from power and place for nearly fifty years, tbe American envoy and his countrymen will be left to make" their boast alone. The acciderft which postponed for a day the celebration of tbe greatest of English defeats gave to Dean Stanley an opportunity of Improving tbe occasion in a political sermon, characteristic alike of tbe man and of the party he belongs to. He began by applying the

The hero of the revolutionary war has been dishonored in the ravage oi his native state, in in the ruin of his nearest representatives, in in the plunder of his property, aa well as in the denial of every principle for which be fought, and the suppression of every right he claimed for Virginia and her sisters of the South. Northward ROTTENRES3 PERVADES the entire fabric of politics the state govwumeBt, the federal government, congress, the executive, the civil service, the treasury, tbe collection of revenue are one and all steeped in bribery, disgraced by peculation, tainted in corruption and dishonesty. When a place is given to trusty partisan of the president, generally for services which a scrupulous man would not have rendered, it is understood that he caD only hold it for a lew year?, ard it is a matter of course that lie will use every opportunity of makiDg money that those years may afford. Iiis not pretended that any part of tbe government is honest; it is scarcely considered worth while to effect the virtue po notoriously wanted. Even the judiciary is dishonored. Corruption has spread downward, until in -recants and men of busines?, railway directors acd officers, every one who s9rvos the public or a corporation, iu the highest or lowest capacity, are scarcely better than tbe worst federal collector of customs. Tyranny, such as George III. would have abhored, in one half the Union, all pervading dishonesty and corruption, at which Walpole or Nevi cas'le would have shuddered, in tbe otber theso are the results of nineiy-nine years of American independence; these the facts, these the achievements on which Americans yesterday congratulated themselves, on the strength of which-they exulted over England. If tlsere be a man in England who is disposed to envy tbem he ba3 only to visit America and study the actual workings 'of ber government. Among Americans there are but few, not actual participators in the system of public plunder, who are not ashamed and disgusted in tbeir hearte ; and, of tbe better port, net many who would not thankfully exchange their elected president, their elective Senate, t.eir elective iudges, and their popular sovereignty for the order, the honesty and the loyalty of the empire, from which, just one hundred years ago, they mado their insane revolt. A prisoner in Paris lately received a lettor containing merely a lock of hair wrapped in the leaf of a small book. The jailer did not consider the souvenir, important enough to bo delivered, but a few days after came a similar enclosure, and yet another. This aronsed suspicion, and the governor took the matter in hand. lie examined the leaf, of the book. It was only tbatof a common novel, twenty-slx lires on a page. Then he studied the hair an noticed the small quantity ot the gift. Counting the hairs he found them of unequal length, and twentysix in number, the same as the lirfes of the page. Struck with this coincidence, be laid the hairs along the line of the page which they respectively reached, beginning at the top" with tbe smallest hair. After some trouble he found tbat the end of each hair -pointed to a different letter, and that these letters combined formed a slang sentence, which informed the prisoner that his friends were on the watch, and that the next time te left tbe prison to be examined an attempt would hi made to rescue him. The governor laid his plans accordingly, the attempt at rescue was made, but the rescuers fell into tbeir own trap.
