The escape was not discovered until two miles had passed, when the cars were stopped and moved back.
It was found that a man, bloody from a severe hurt, had been found on the track, who was well enough, however, to say he had fallen off the cars, and gone on to a freight train returning west. At Cuba, one of the stations, a man answering the description of Kissane, was seen on the stoppage of the train. No further trace of his whereabouts could be had. Mr. Reed offers $500 for his arrest. We notice that the New York papers blame the officer in charge.--Buff. Express.
