For some time two detectives of the Treas- y department were on the track of the punterieiter, but arrived at Waco to claim twelve hours after the marshal aged.” They demanded that he be turned over to them, which was refused. Meanwhile official notification of the arrest Was communicated to the Attorney General, as well as the demand of the detectives. | Upon consultation with the Solicitor of the Trersury department, it was decided to send the prisoner to St. Louis for trial, because the evidence against him could be better ac- cumulated at that point than in Texas, and in addition this was thought best, because if he was convicted the prisons ef Missouri would give less chance for escape than those of Texas. pe y eer — instrac- tions were sen! e Un: marshal McCartney thea was, to to St. — oft — is under the goed the joint escort the prisoner secret service men say if they their own way he wouid not have got off, while on the other hand the U.

He was taken on board the press steamer shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday evening, against his own wish, within eight miles of the coast.

AN EX-TREASURY DETECTIVE ON TRIAL The case in which George Albert Mason, for- merly employed by Col. Washburn, chief of the Sceret Service Division, to ferret out counterfeiters, is indicted for selling and having in possession, with intent to pass, counterfeit money. was called on for trial in the eriminal branch of the United States Cir- cuit Court, by Judge Bevediet, yesterday morning. Counsel for Mason asked for an adjournment of the case in order to get the testimony of Secreary Bristow, Col. Wm P. Wood, and others. to show that Mason Fas regularly employed in the secret service department, and had been extremely active and useful in the di rge of his duties. Assistant District Attorney Purdy said that the testimony sought did not go to the merits of the charges against Mason. Counsel for Mason replicd that there was evidence in the form of documents taken from Mason when he was arrested, and which had not been re- covered, which would go to show that Col Washburn had initiated these present pro- ceedings against Mason in order to prevent him from proving that he (Washburn) was Jeague with counterfeiters. A recess was taken to enab 'S counsel to obtain certain y ‘ ¢laimed were of im- portance for the defense. After recess, coun- sel said thai he had been unable to find te Papers, and Mr. Purdy said that he would hot object to secondary or oral evidence, in relation to such of these papers as could not be presented on the trial. A jury was then impanne'ed. Three were side for having formed opinions, and four were peremptor: challenged by the defense and th by prosecution.” An adjournment was taken to 11 o'clock on M morning.—. ¥.

His troubles produced melan- cholia, and he turned from being a genial, popular guest in the hotel to a misanthropic, morose man. He was troubled with in- somnia, and tried morphine to make him oo On Wednesday night he wrote letters to Mr. Peed, the proprietor, and to two or three guests who were bis friends. in his let- ter to Mr. Peed he said that ifany man could be justified in suicide he (Powell) must. On Thursday the hotel clerk kuocked at Col. Powell's door and received no answer. He broke in and found him in a stupor, lying on his bed with his face down. He bi taken thirty grains of morphine. Dr. Richavdson and two or three other physicians in two hours’ time partially restored him, and in the evening had him removed to the Home@o- pathic Hospital. Col.

A bill has been introduced in the lower House of the Prussian Diet to abrogate the clauses of the constitution which grant the independ- ent administration of ecclesiastical affairs and the unimpeded intercourse of religious association with theirsuperiors. The bill re- stricts freedom of clerical appoinintents aud makes their coufirmation indisper é ta thelr legality.
