so arranged that the explosion is made in
an opposite direction from the smoker. A

the donor watched for the explosion it

day, and many persons who have become
ncqunlnttd with tho particulars of their
case nnd their friends and families have
cause to bo gratified with tho action which
has been taken by tho Stato authorities.
Thcro was laid before the Board of Par
dons besides all ttio records In tho case,
tho testimony of fourteen witnesses who
have been recently examined, showing
that tho conviction was a mistake, and the
pardon was recommended by most of the
Jurymen who tried them, (tio having re
moved from the county and ono being
dead), by tho District Attorney who had
Indicted them, and by the President Judgo
beferc whom they were tried j and these
recommendations wero endorsed by nearly
all tho members of the Bar, and by tho ed
itors and publishers of newspapers at
Bloomsburg.
It appears by the new evidence, to bo
very doubtful whether the defendants were
at Espy on Thursday tho 10th of May, 1883,
tho day of the alleged offense of robbing
Levi Michael ; because It is shown that on
the evening of that day Terwllllger was at
the house of John DeLong, over two miles
east of Llghtstrcet, nnd by request wroto
the name of John Dclong's daughter, with
thu date, in her bible with which fact
agreed the testimony of tho Commonwealth
on thu trial, that thu defendants wero In
Llghtstrcet at or after seven o'clock, ou tho
same day, and could not have been at
Espy as early as six or between six and
seven, us was claimed by tho prosecution.
It Is probable they were at Espy on tho 8lh
or Oth, and not on thn 10th, as was taken
for granted at tho trial. The new evidenco
also proves that they were seen and spoken
to in Espy after dark on the evening of tho
day when they were there, after tho houses
were lighted up and the street Illuminated
from them, when they were seen com
Ing from the direction of tho lower landing,
to which point they have always claimed
they dropped down with their boat after
obtaining it. Ibis testimony is consistent
with that given on tho trial by three of tho
Commonwealth's witnesses, that before
they obtained the key of the boat Mr. Mc-
Kamcy's store was already lighted up for
the evening, that a person's face could not
be distinguished across Main street, and
that when they loosed the boat at the up
per landing, n witness who saw them could
not distinguish their faces at a distance of
75 to 100 feet. But tho clear and uncon
tradlcted testimony for the Commonwealth
was that Michael crossed the river btore
dark, he himself swearing that It was about
sundown or a little before, and that It was
growing dusk after he had crossed the
i river anu was going up me uiu inrougu
the woods. It follows from all this that
even If they wero In Espy on the 10th of
May, they could not have crossed the river
before Miclnel nnd been encountered by
him just beyond the railroad trestllng, as
claimed by the prosecution. Still more dc-
cislvc Is tho new testimony us to what oc-1
currcd south ot the river on the evening of
Slay tho lUtli. Unfortunately, ilichae1
was intoxicated on that day, and was still
In a "boozy" condition when ho crossed
tho river and afterwards, so that his testi
mony is not very reliable. His story on
the trial was, that ho encountered two
men beyond tho river who walked with
him up tho hill for half a milo or more, be
hind hit wagon, then got on tho wagon
with him, and after riding n short distanco
and to within 100 or 150 yards of Daniel
Federolf's house, assaulted and robbed
htm, uud that he was knocked lnsensibl
uy one ot them nuu lay unconscious upon
the top of his lumber until he got on top
of the next hill beyond, where ho sat for
two hours or more in a fenro corner and
then went on to Mainville, arriving there
nn hour or two after midnight. But it is
now certain that this story, la all its main
particular, Is entirely wrong, and that the
strong probability is that ho was not rob
bed at all, but fell off his wagon and lost
or dropped his money. In addition to sev
eral ciicumstances of great improbability
in ins story, It is now proved by Miss Fed
crolf that he was not lying insensible on
his wagon wheu he passed their house as
ccudlug the hill, but that, a short distanco
beyond, ho called to his horse and (stopped
it to rost iu the road. In the next place
Mr. George Brclsh, about nlno o'clock the
next morning, found somo ot Michael's
money scattered on tho roadside at the top
ot the hill beyond Federolf's, consisting of
a ono dollar piece of silver, a live cent
piece and two pennies. At that point it is
quite possible that Michael fell off ot his
wagon, being in a boozy condition, and
dropped Ids bag of money, scattering some
of it upon the ground. The ferryman who
took him across tho liver swore on th
trial that he had his little bag ot money In
his vest pocket, and that ho returned it to
his vest pocket after paying him his fer
riage : a fact which not only contradicts
Ids story that ho was robbed from his left
pants pocket, but renders it probablo that
ho dropped it when sprawling on tho hill.
But tho fact now proved, that the frag-
incuts of a check which ho had, upon the
First National Bank of Mahanoy City, with
endorsements upon It, were found by the
roadside near Martin Kostcnbaudcr's, on
the second day after Michael had passed,
concludes all controversy as to tho guilt of
the defendants, Michael testifies that his
paper money and his check were rolled up
together and tied with a string, so that
when the fragments of tho check wero
scattered along tho roadsldo for a quarter
of a mile, evidently with tho intention that
they should never be iae-ovcred, It Is appar
ent that tho destruction, of the check must
havo been by some ono going towards
Maluvlllo, and who had destroyed tho
check to avoid exposure by having it
found In his possession, Kostcubauder's
is a mile and a half or two miles beyond
Federolf's, and where it is Impossible tho
dctendauts could havo been. Not only
were they not seen passing Federolf's, nor
tho .Mifflin road beyond, where Mrs. Naus
saw Michael passing, but tho Common
wealth proved them to bo iu Llghtstrcet
shortly after ten o'clock on that evening,
So that as Michael passed Federolf's about
nine o'clock there could be no pretense
that the defendants went two miles be
yond and iu a direction away from homo,
The chuck fragments wero found by Mr.
All. Jacobs and Henry Bredbender, who
unfortunately kept the fact secret until
slnco the trial. Whoever got Michael's
money got possession of the check alto,
and whether it was a robber or only a man
who found it by the roadside, he was
going toward Matnvlllu and destroyed the
check to protect himself. Messrs. Jacobs
and Bredbender glvo as their reason for
not publishing tho fact that they had found
the torn check, that they wero afraid ot
gelling into trouble, or being taken to

evidence which strongly tend to prove tho

On tho 10th of March will occur an an
nular eclipse of the sun, visible in the
United States nnd British America. It is
the return of the annular eclipse of Febru
ary 12, 1831. In 1831 the central line pass
ed over Texas In a northeasterly direction,
being last visible on this continent in parts
of Virginia and .North Carolina. At this
return the path will bo much farther north.
The eclipse will be annular over a line from
Cape Mendocino, Cal., in latitude 40 dc
grses, to Greenland, In latitude 71 degrees.
It is estimated that tho eclipse will be an
nular over a path about seventy miles wide.
At St. Paul the ecllpso will obscure five
sixths of the sun, but will not bo annular.
At Chicago seven-tenths of the sun will bo
hidden. In this section the eclipse will be
gin about 11:15 iu the morning and contlu.
