Detectives McDevitt and Miller arrived here last might fre New York, bringing with them J. RK. Moore E. A. Williams, arrested in that city by the New York detectives on the charge of stealing a tin box containing «rafts 00), from the {nternal Revenue office in this city on the th instant. They were locked up in the cells at police headquarters, on their arrival here, tor a hearing. HOW THE ARREST WAS MADE. On the discovery of the robbery the case was reported to the <letectives here and Mr. &. H. Chapman, chief of the stamp division, the latter ef whom took an early train for New York, where he has since been actively at work with other ernment Officers in tracing the prop- erty. It ay from the New York papers that a pi: none in by the name of Thompson, who lives in Buffalo, went to New York afew and while walking up Broadway mot | Edward Edmonds (Moore) and Mr. H. N Mason (Williams) both of Washington. Mutu ensued, and it was proposed thi fjourn to’a neighboring saloon and ‘The wine was partaken Pog omega ciel Mr. Thompson to a sleighride *‘e.p the road.” After an ours drive the two returned to the Gilsey House, and on going to the clerk’s office Mr. Edmonds romatked that he was out of money, but had a Treasury warrant about him which was as good as the id. The warrant | was handed over to the clerk, who cashed it. Mr. Thompson having heard ‘of the robbery, | | | handsbakin, mentioned the matter to Mr. Chapman, who inspected the warrant left at the Hofman | House and fully identified it as one of the stolen | warrants. The Tri?une says: ‘Mason was found lying drunk im his room when the officials searched the hotel, and was immediately ar- rested and taken to the central police office. A black leather bag was found in his room, which, on being cut open by Inspector McDermot at of the stolen warrants, ranging in value from $5 te 2100 each, and worth £10,000. In the meantime the search for Edmunas was contin- wed, and he was finally traced to a house in here he was arrested. In his pockets were found several pawn-tickets, show- ng that he had pawned some of his jewelry 1 Washington,on December 15, and in a leath wallet were found between $3.00) and $4,000 informed that over £10,000 worth had before been found.” WHO W LLIAMS 18 AND WHO HE ISN'T. The “independent press” of New York, always on the alert to make a point against the nacional administration and District government—right or wrong —undertake to tell who Williams is, | and, although no two of the accounts agree, | singularly enough neither of them happens to strike on the truth. | The Tritune has it: “Mason” is said upon | trustworthy authority to be the step-son of At- | torney General Williams. His neme was Benny | lL. Mason, which is the name he registered at the Gilsey House, but some time ago, it is said, a ly assumed the surname of his step- father. ‘The World says: ‘‘Mason” was “ascertained to be @ son of Judge Williams, of Washington.” The Sun says: Williams is well-known as 4 tool of the Washington ring, paid a visit to this city last summer with Aleck Shepheri|, Judge Fisher and Richard Harrington, on the memorable occasion of the attack of the ring | upon the liberty ofthe press. He was known to Mr. Thompson as counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad In an unimportant suit.” | Williams is not a stepson of Attorney General | Witliams, or in any way connected with him; | his name is not Benny 1. Mason; heis not the son of Judge Williams, of Washington; and he did not visit New York last summer with Aleck Shepherd, Mr. A. B. Williams, a lawyer | - Having shown who Williams is not, we will now state who he is. He is a son of J. Alexan- der Williams, of this city, the former clerk ot | the northern market, who resided on 5th street, between H and I. He is tall and slim ia build with dark skin and brown hair, inclined to cur He was missed from this city several! years afte he grew up; but about three years since lie re- eof | faw. With another lawyer he undertook the | defence in the case of Henry Young, charged | with the murder of Hahn. Shortly after Young's incarceration in jail, Williams went to Alexandria to search for Young’s money from which he was to be paid, but did not succeed in | finding it. When the case was called Williams | was not on hand. and other counsel were as- signed to assist Colone) Sceva. While here he practiced in the Police Court, and occasionally appeares in the Criminal Court, and was very active in obtaining clients. THIS MORNING the prisoners appeared somewhat nervous, and complained of their lodgings last night. ‘Wil- Sams looks to be a little more fleshy than he was some e since, when prac law in the Police Court. Detective McDevitt states that after their arrest in New York Williams | told the detectives there that ‘‘there was $5,000 reward for them, and they must look d sharp, as the Washington detectives were eniar' as h——}] and would beat them out of it it they could. McDevitt states that he tof them it Was not so, but they would not believe him, and Messrs. Golden and Cosegran accompanied him here with the prisoners to eati: ¥ themselves. They have engaged Mr. L. G. Hine to detend them, and the case will be heard wefore U. S. Commissioner J. Jobnson to-morrow. In the meantime they wil! be committed. pce ds ath cate Reiter oF THE County Poor.—At a meet- ing of the board of tr es for the relief of the poor of the county on Saturday evening, at the executive office, the chair stated that the Gov- ernor bad informed him that the sum of $250 Was at the disposal of the trustees, and the re- mainder of the appropriation, $750, whenever needed. A resolution was adopted, that the Ist council district be subdivided as follows: From the Potomac to Good Hope road as (istrict 3, from Good Hope road to Benning’s road, as dis- trict and from Benning’s road to the boun- dary of 2d council district as district 1. Also, | that the 2d council district be subdivided as fol- portion lying east of 7th street road as lst district: that portion west of said road as 2d district, and that portion west of Rock creek | as 3d district. It was also agreed that #ub- districts 1 and 2, of the 1st counc'l district should each receive $35 of the first installment, and 'b-district No. 3, $50; and that sub-districts 1, and 3, in the 2d council district, should re- ceive $45 and $35. respectively. \isitors were nominated and appointed as follows: First district—Bub-district No. 1, Mrs. Joseph Brooks, Mrs. J.

Keefer, charged with selling liquor without license, one of the wit- nesses for the prosecution, named James Cor: nell, a young man, was questioned very sharply by Attorney Miller, and not giving such ans- wers as suited him,he intimated to the judge that the witness had committed B het and should be punished for it. The judge upon this orlered the marshal to take charge of the wit- | ness, and he was locked up in the dock with the other prisoners. After the journment of the | court the young man expt his indignation | at finding himself in this position under such | circumstances, and Attorney Miller not being | present to prefer Kanon he was released, no evidence appearin, Tee TaxaTeRs.—To-night Sothern will ap- pear at Ford’s Opera House in his great role of * Lord Dandreary,” which is peculiarly his own.

Etection or Trustees —At a pyrene J of ng. ed Shocking Suicide of a Baltimore Po- liceman. In Baltimore on Saturday morning Robert ltae, an officer of the southern district, commit- ted suicide under peculiarly shocking circum- stances. At about 7 o’clock he entered the grocery and liquor store of Charies F. Muller, corner of Hause and Emory streets. He was ap- ees in good spirits, and cheerfally saluted rs. Muller and her son, who were in the store. Atter a few minutes’ conversation he proceeded to the yard, and after divesting himself in the water-closet of a portion of his clothing, tired a ball from his revolver into his forehead. The ball striking the frontal bone, glanced off, and did not enter the brain, when the dosperate man, determined on ending his existence, cut his throat from ear to ear with a butcher knife which hehad taken froma meat bl in the store. After committing the deed liae stagger- ed into the store covered with blood, and after a few convulsive gasps and struggles, expired. The American says: ‘This poor man took his own life, to escape the disgrace of a threatened prosecution for perjury. A few weeks since, while attempting to arrest a couple of disorderly characters, he was strack over the head with a billy. He took tue man whom he sapposed to have made the assanit to the station house, pre- ferred Kiran ma against him, and he was boand over to await the action of the grand jay, In the meantime the friends of the accused tried | to induce Kae to withdraw the charge; they fol- lowed him on his beat, told him that he would | be punished for perjury,and at the hearing before the committing magistrate they swore positively that it wes another manwho used the | billy. ~The grand jury found no indictment against the party making the assault, and a warrant was immediately sued out for the ar- rest of the officer. He was held to answer, but the grand jury found no bill. The police Jde- partinert bad entire confidence in Ofticer Kae, and when he gave Captain Delanty the assur- ance that he was not mistaken in the man whom he charged with striking him, he was told to continue on his beat as usual. The mortitica- tion suffered by the poor man completely broke his spirits. He w off duty for three or four days; then, yielding to the persuasions of his superior officers, returned to his beat: but his maxner was listless, and in his actions he gave indications that insufferable chagrin had cloud- ed his reason. On Saturday morning he took his own life.” NEARLY A WHOLE Fa Keroseye—A terrible accident occurred in Ss St. Joseph, Mo., on last Thursday. About 5 o'clock in the morning Mrs. James McGinnis y Vierms To had tilled an ozilin lamp and lighted it, and was in the act of putting iton tne chimney when the lamp exploded, filling the room with a sheet of ti A daughter, aged 17, who was standing ear, was enveloped in tlames and Mr. Mc- Ginnis sprang to the rescue of his family. He threw the “mother and infant daughter through the window into thestreet. In attempt- ing to save the oldest girl his clothing caught on tire, and he and the girl were literally roasted alive. A son, aged 18 years, threw a bucket of water on his sister and extinguished the tiamea, but she and the father were so horribly burned that the flesh dropped from their bodies. The girl died about 11 in the morning, and the tather at 1 . Mrs. McGinnis and uer infant danghter are lying in a very critical condition, and but little hopes are entertained of their re- covery. The boy 1s also seriously burned. Naw Yorx Communists.—A meeting of 7th ward workingmen was held on Saturday eve Cosmopolitan hotel, this city, under the ‘lirection of the committee of satety.. Com- munistic speeches were made by Theodore Banks and others, and resolutions were adopted to the effect that men unable to get work would not starve in the midst of plenty. At the meeting of the internationals yesterday a reso- lution ‘was unanimously adopted “that our thanks are due to the civil and police authori- ties tor doing our work on Tuesday, the 1th in- stant, in enlightening the people as to their true condition as slaves, by the only argumentslaves can understand, viz: Hunger and the elab.’”— N.

A nor- mal traiing school for articulation teachers has recently been opened in Boston, in connec- tion with the Boston University, under the a of Prof. Bell, son of the inventor of visible speech. Tur CHOLERA Eripemic in EvRore tN 1573. The London Medical Record says that during the past year there were 433,295 cases of cholera in Hungary, and that of this namber 247,715 persons recovered, 182,54: remain under treatment. Croatia and Slavonia, the ancient military boundaries, are not in- clude: in these lists, nor are the victims whom cholera carried off when it broke out at the end of 1*72 in Buda and Upper Hungary. The pop- ulation of the countries of the crown of St. Ste- phen amount to 16,000,000, and since it is esti- mated that altogether ‘they have lost this year 200,000 souls by cholera, it follows that 1 in 50 of the inhabitants has fallen beneath this terrible scourge. BIsMARCK AND THE GERMAN ULTRAMON- TANES.—Prince Bismarck became considerably excited during the progress of a debate which | took place in the Prussian parliament last Fri- day. An ultramoptane member by @ pas- sage from a work written by Gen. La Marmora, alleging that Bismarck, in 1406, discussed the cession to France of a@ portion of the Rhenish territory. The premier rose in reply, and pro- nounced the statement “ an audacious and ma- licious falsebood.” This iy quite emphatic, particularly so coming from the lips of an ac- complished speaker, who has accustomed him- self to balance his sentences with the utmost care.
