He will toe Bronsbt Back to Wilmlng- ton to Receive Sentence tor Per. jnry. . t f;'?v Anthony Howe, Jr. , (colored) who at the last term of the Criminal Court for this county was convicted of perjury, but made his escape before sentence could be pro nounced upon' him, has been captured in Boston, Maes. Col. B. R. Moore, Solicitor of the Criminal Court, received notification to this effect from a detective in that city who made the arrest, and who said that Howe was in -custody and would be held until sent for. The necessary papers in the case were prepared yesterday afternoon and put in the hands of an officer who left last night for Raleigh, to obtain a requisi tion from Gov. Scales and proceed to Bos ton and bring back 'the prisoner. Howe,' at the time of his disappearance was under a bail-bond of $200. a kinsman being se curity for him. - 7 ' . Howe belongs to a well-to-do family of colored people who have always stood well in this community and have considerable influence with that class of the population, some of the male members of the family being prominent Republican leaders. Val entine Howe, a relative of Anthony, is a member of. the Board of Aldermen and the nominee, for Representative in the State Legislature from . this county. Anthony, himself, nas never , held any official posi tion , but was for several years a clerk in the office of Joseph E. Sampson (colored), the Republican Register of Deeds of this county. 'A After Anthony's escapade with a colored girl, which finally got him into his present predicament, Sampson dis charged him from his employment. - An thony was accused of having betrayed the young colored woman mentioned above, a pretty mulatto, whose father had sent her North to be educated, and who was said to b8 highly accomplished for one of her race. The father of the girl t- was about' to wreak summary vengeance on Anthcuy, when be was arrested and placed under bonds to keep the peace. But an uncle of the girl then came forward as her champion, waylaid Anthony on his way to his office one morning and - gave him a ter rible beating with two' rawhides plaited to gether. Martin, the . uncle, was arrested for this offence and tried in the Criminal Court for assault and battery. At the trial all the history of the scandal was told, and created a great sensation in colored circles. There were some twenty or thirty wit nesses and the couit room was' crowded with spectators. Anthony himself was placed upon the witness stand, and made statements which were declared by wit nesses on the other side to be false. Shortly afterwards he was arretted on the charge o having committed perjury,, and gave bond for bis appearance at the term of the Crim inal Court which was held last month. The trial of this case also excited a good deal of interest among the colored people; there was again a great array of witnesses,' the scandal was again ventilated, and the court room, of, course, was crowded with friends and. partisans of the prisoner and his accusers. When the jury brought in a verdict of guilty Anthony was not present, but it was not known until the following day that be had left the city' and gone to parts unknown to escape" the punishment that was certain to follow his conviction. Since his departure, however, friends of the young woman have been constantly on his track, and detectives have been employed in all the cities North where it was suspected that he had gone, resulting finally in his detection and arrest.

Police officer Terry attempted to arrest Nixon, when . the latter broke loose from him and ran on board of a wood-fiat lying at the foot of Princess street. He was under such headway, however, that when he reached the end of the flat he was unable to' check himself and plunged into the river. A colored man on another wood boat attempted to rescue Nixon, but failed, and the poor fellow drifted odt into the darkness and to death. Nixon, was in the employ of Capt."
