the part of Gaspard tho miser, which ho
rendered very well. Tho chorus was small,
however, and the music of the organ alone
was not sufficient to support the voices.
However, the performance might have
been better if they had received better
palrouage.

SO SAYS A UNION COUNTT JURY.
Tho case of D. F. Seybert charged with
burglary, was moved to Union county at
his request, and was tiled at Lcwlsburg
last week. After a hard fought battle last
ing tho whole week, the Jury found tho de
fendant guilty In manner and form as In
dicated. Judge Barnctt of Perry couuty occupied
the bench, and District Attorney Blllmeycr
was assisted in the prosecution by C. (.
Barklcy and C. B. Jackson Eeqs. of this
county, and John B. Linn Esq. of Lewis-nurg-
The defendnnt wns represented by
E. B. Ikclcr, J. C. Evans, and Dill &
Bealc.
Wo cannot vivo spaco to a detailed re
port of the trial, but clip t'.ie following from
the Luwisburg Saturday A'ttcs of March 20.
Never, probably, in the history of ciimin
al action in this section, has so much inter
est been centered 'n a case as has been di
rected to the contest now before our courts.
Mr. Daniel Seybert, a resident of Columbia
Co., has been indicted by tho Common
wealth for larceny, and the verdict of the
Jury will decide a point of law that cannot
now be found on record. Owing to preju.
dice against defendant a change of venue
was granted and the case brought here for
trial. The difference between this case
and ordinary burglary cases, and those
where deWctlvcs have been employed to
ferret out crimes and who have been par
ties to the climes; that the detective in this
case committed the breaking and entering
of the house nnd was the principal in the
first degree, and had notified the owners
of the buildings that a burglary would be
committed, and the party charged in the
Indictment was the principal In the second
degree aiding and abetting a commission
of the offence. The detective breaking
and entering the house with no felonious
Intent and none being committed, the
question wa9 whether the principal In the
second degree could be convicted by tranB.
ferring his intent to the principal of first
degree.
The leading testimony was as follows :
Eli Sherwood watched premises of Mrs.
Jackson the night of the burglary. Saw a
man conic Into the yard and recognized
him as Daniel F. Seybert. Six other men
in stable watching with him.
Charles Holland said he was employed
as u detective by citizens of Salem at tbo
time of the burglary. Had known Seybert
for some time On Aug. 24 Seybert pro
posed to rob Mrs. Jackson's, house. Wit
ness Informed Jackson nnd Zchnder that
burglary would bo attempted. The at
tempt was made that night.
On cross examination witness admitted
that he had been In the penltentary four
years.
Julius I loft was watching in the stable
that night, and thought he saw D. F.
Beybcrt pass the window.
Mary Murray corroborated Holland.
Abucr Wells thought ho could Identify
beybert as the man In the yard.
The defense set up an alibi, and a num
ber of witnesses were sworn to provo that
8e)bert was at home on the night of the
burglary. About seventy wero examined
on both sides. The eae opened on Tues
day morning and tho verdict of guilty was
rendered on Saturday afternoon.
The Aires contains a fair likeness of P.
T. Barnum which It calls D. F. Seybert,
anil also a.leged portraits of Holland and
Mrs. Murray. If Its report of tho trial Is
as uollkn the facts as these portraits arc
unlike the people they are intended to rep
resent, but llttlo reliance can be placed
upon it.
A motion has been made for a new trial.

being faithful representations of the places
and surroundings at which the events in
tho play transpire. One of the thrilling
scenes represented Alden Benedict as "No.
17" escaping from a cell In a prison on the
borders of tho sea, by substituting himself
for a dead roan In an adjoining cell, whoso
body ho took from tho sack In which It
was to be thrown Into the sea and put him
self In place of It. He was thrown Into
the Bea in duo form and cutting through
tho sack with a kulfe made his escape.
The rolling and splashing of tho sea was
realistically represented, and as "No. 17"
emerged from the rolling deep and clam
bcred upon a rock, the audlcnco was
thrilled and the hall shook with applause
Other scenes wero as strikingly represented
as this aud elicited admiration.

Thanks to the mail order sys

The newest thinps in wo
men's English suiting are in, 6o
or 70 styles of them. A lady
yesterday said she d lound no
stock so complete in New York,
and nothing approaching it else
where in town. That's what
plenty more'll say.
Fine wool, twilled, in checks,
plaids, overplaids, Shepherd
plaids, stripes, and mixtures
words that give no hint of the
brightness and freshness, the
clean-cut clinging loveliness of
the stuffs. Lvery color clear
and distinct.
Some of the styles very neat
for children's wear. 54 in., $2.50.
Usual price $3, or more.
Any Broadcloth maker would
be glad to equal Nellessen's.
There's a something of finish
they don't get; a "something
that makes you willing to pay
the ditterence, it style s worth
money to you. More and more
every year think it is; more and
more Nellessen's going. 54 in.
$3. The new shades, of course.
Less money'll buy more
broadcloth that perhaps one in
three would think less of. Nel
lessen's for the one, the hand
some imported broadcloths for
the two. 56 in. $2.75. Nearly
thirty shades. Por the money
nothing- before so pood; so of
the little lighter, 54 in., $2.50.
A very good Broadcloth, 52
in, $2. If desired any of these
Broadcloths steamed-sponged
without extra charge.
Lupin's All -Wool Black
Merino. 40 in., 50 cents. We
know of nothing else of the
kind for the money. Not the
finest, of course ; heavy, great
to wear. 'Twould be cheap at
60 cents. These very goods
were held at nearly that, whole
sale, 'before the New York
agent got the Paris order to
"clean out."
You'll see a hundred things
out of the common in Women's
Muslin Underwear. Look at
four :
1 Skirt, cambric ruffles,
tucks above. 35 cents.
2 Blind embroidered and
ruffled skirt, 75 cents.
3 Chemise, square yoke,
seven rows of insertings and
neatly embroidered band, 50
cents.
4 Blind embroidered and
ruffled drawers with three clus
ters of tucks above, 75 cents.
Try if you can get the mater
ial in either of these tor the
price.
A Chestnut street window full
of the pretty, piquant French
Sateens. Some of the color-
tngs, some 01 the designs, you
can nnd nowhere else, hxquis
ile exactness in the printing
Plenty of random, here-and
there, slapdash work on these
shimmering stuffs, but it isn t in
the printing. Not a color awry,
not a tint amiss. The jumble's
always in the figures ; half the
charm's sometimes in the jum
ble. 37 cents. That's for
the newest of the pretties.
American Sateens, I2j to 25
cents.
Complete outfits for Base
ball, Cricket or Tennis clubs.
High price or low price. Does
the boy want a bat and ball ?
18 cents '11 buy both, or he can
pay a dozen prices up to $2.25
for them. Lots of sport possi
bility for little cost or much as
you choose.
You don't expect much of a
4-button Suede glove for 75
cents a pair. Right as a rule ;
not right now. These are good,
very good. Well made, solt,
strong; a big 75 cents' worth
already. More ; they're em
broidered. The 6 and 8-button
mousquetaires at 87 cents
and $1 aren't embroidered.
That would be asking a little
too much.

Another extensive cave-In of the lands of
the Fairmount coal company near Plttston
statlou,'rn tho Delaware and Hudson rail
road occu rid Monday morning about 4:80
o'clock, offprllig several acres ol tho sur.
face and lau.lng what Is believed to bo
a widespread wreckage of the workings
of tho mlno below, besides doing surface
damage that will approximate thousands
of dollars- The miners living In tho vicin
ity wcro aroused from their sleep by a deep
rumbling and shaking of their homes ns If
by nn earthquake shock, and upon ascer
taining the cause found thesurfaco settling
close by them, nnd hugo fissures appcarlug
hero nnd there, filling them with alarm.
Then came n crash of falling timbers, and
In the dawning day they saw tho creat
breaker of the coal company with Its Im
mense machinery crashing Into pieces on
the ground. Tho cavc-tn was tho largest
right by side the breaker, and hero large,
gaping holes appeared as if to swallow up
everything that came within their reach.
All the direct openings of tho mine were
closed by the crash and tho ventilating ma
chinery brought to a standstill, cutting
off all air from the largo number of mules
stabled In tho underground workings, nil
of which aro now no doubt suffocated. No
miners or other employes of the mines uu.
ess It may have been tho stable boss and
his assistants, are believed to havo yet en
tered tin mine, and there will be no loss of
llfo attending tho disaster. Tho loss on
ptoperty of tho company will reach over
$100,000. Fears are felt that the cavc-ln
will extend further, and In caso It does
there will bo a number of houses wrecked.
Many families are terribly excited over the
disaster and aro preparing to move to
safer quarters. Tho track of tho Delaware
and Hudson railroad has sunk from ten to
fifteen feet where It crosses the cave in,
and all passengers arn transfered to watt
ing.tralns on either side. Tho company
has a large force of men at work repairing
the track and filling in the depressed
ground.

In n discussion of the existing draw
backs to tho success of agricultural fairs,
the Secretary of tho Pennsylvania State
Board of Agriculture, speaks as follows ro.
gardlng Iho appointment of judges
"Experience and observation conylnco
us that many of tho internal dissensions
which so much Interfere with financial sec
cess of thoso organizations, Is caused by
tho present system of appointing Judges.
In most cases n list of judges Is named to
bo present at n certain hour on a uamed
day. They aro seldom present, nnd an un
authorized chairman proceeds to fill vacan
cies on this committee ns per tho schedule,
and tho error, which afterwards causes so
much troubli and hard feelings, Is commit
ted. Instead of tills, lot competent judges
be selected outstdo tho county pay their
expenses nnd avoid nine-tenths of the Ill
feeling which nearly always follows tho
awards of local judges. This may be ob
jtcted to on the pbia that It would Involve
tho expenditure of some money ; but wo
would Instanco exhibitions which havo
been almost financially wrecked by oad
feeling, resulting from awards made at
tho exhibition of tho previous year. These
exhibitions should bo conductcil in a busi
ness way, and If the expenditure of one
hundred dollars will pay theiu, from a busi
ness standpoint, It Is all light."

A New Swliidllnir Hellenic.
A new swindle is being practiced on
farmers, according to the Grccno county
Democrat. Two rogues watch the news
papers, and when a farmer publishes an
estray notice, No. 1 calls to look at tho
animal. Of course on application the un
suspecting farmer shows the beast, and the
fellow decides it Is not his; then he returns
to bis partner and describes it minutely to
him. JNC 4 coca to tue farmer nnd, alter
Ero'ving by a thorough description that he
i the owner of tbc animal, says bo cannot
take It away and oilers to sell It at a bar

cays tbo rightful owner comes and claims
the animal.
