His Evidence. On Friday l ist was an exciting
day at febauiokin and Suubury ou account
the arrest of the robbers conuected with the
Cameron township robbery. We copy the fal
lowing from the Sbamokin Time of Saturday
morning last :
Gilbert Kelt Given Iliniscir lp

titles Them.
Gilbert Keitz, the man who is supposed to
know all about the Mahanoy robbery nnd who
fled so kuddculy, is at last in durance vile.
will be remembered that his father took him
Zt.-fini;' Mill, near Sunbury, after which it was
uot known where he went It seems he wan
dered up i;:to New York State and finally ar
rived at a place called Canasteo, in Steuben
county, on the Eric Railroad. He had no peace
of mind in his wandering and therefore de
cided to surrender himself to the authorities.
He found a policeman of the Eric Railroad,
named E. C. Simpson an 1 to him Keitz gave
himself up on Tuesday. Simpson telegraphed
the fact to Shamokiu and Capt. Thomas Alder-
son of the Coal and Iron Poliee went after Keitz
and brought him toShamokin yesterday at noon
Through information that was given bv Ileitis
two other arrests wero made before Gilbert ar-
rived iu Snamokin. The two meu arc Philip
Delaney aud Michael lle.ily. The latter was
arrested the day alter the robbery but was lib
erated at the bearing as there seemed to be no
conclusive evidence against him. He lives iu
part of the same house in which Hughes lived
Delaney aud Heaiy were urresled yesterday
morning aud Were held until Keitz arrived in
the 1 1.40 tiaiu. When Reitz was takeu before
Justice Helm he at once identified ticaly aud
Delaiu-y as two f the men who were implicated
iu the robbery. Ho staled that in couversaliou
with Delaney after the robbery the latter had
threatened in in with death if ue told ou them.
During the examination Keitz Was exceeding-
ly nervous bul he Mined lo lie glad that be had
suiieudeied iinuacil uud was in I lie hands ol
I lie oilieeis.
'tVheu uire lleliu announced that he wouid

An immense crowd had gathered around the
tq aire's office, during the hearing but a good
loice of ollieers were ou duty to preserve
order.
All the facts connected with the robbery are
in very good shape and when the trial of thete
men lakes place there will be no doubt some as-limi.-hiiitr
revelations.
I.ATUt ANOTIinii ARREST.
George LeVans, a bo:irder at Ilealy's, was ar
rested yesterday about two o'cloek uud was
identified by Ilennhiger, the farmer, ns the man
who was at Henuinger's house the day before
the robbery and pretended that he wanted to
buy hay. Levens was also seen crossing the
mountain on Ibe evening of the robbery and had
a gun with him. 'Squire Helm demanded the
same bail from Leveus as from the others and
as lie could not furnish the security he was sent
to Sunbury with Reitz aud the others.
The man Kelly who was arrested in Carbon
county on Thursday on suspicion of being one
of the Mahanoy robbers, was released, there
b iug no evidence to hold bun.
FURTHER PARTICULARS'.
The Sunbury Dally of Saturday istrt contains
the following further particulars:
TUE FOUR CRIMINALS.
Friday afternoon Constables Alderson and
Rehrer, of Shamokiu, brought Gilbert Keitz,
Michael Haley. Philip Delaney and Gorgc Lc
vens, four of the Cameron township burglars,
to Sunbu'v. where they were locked up in jail. !
A few days ago Reitz, who is supposed to be
the ringleader of the gang, applied for work in
Canisteo, Steuben county, N. Y., but was re
fused, whereUMin he r marked that he might
as well go to the penitentiary and gave himself
up to the authorities, telling them who and what
lie was. They Immediately telegraphed to Sha
mokiu aud Constable Alderson was sent after
Reitz, On their way down Gilbert told the offi
cer who three of ibe other parties were, and
Alderson telegraphed home to keep a lookout
for them. Friday momiug Constable Kchrer
arrested Healy, Delaney and Lcvans, aud when
Aldeison arrived lit Sbaraokin with his prisoner,
on the noon train from Suubury, the other three
were in quire Helm's office ready to receive
him. Afera bearing, in default of f5,000 bail
eaeh, they were committed.
rXCIIEMENT AT SHAMOKIN.
Around the Squire's ofllee and depot In Sha
mokiu. hundreds of persons had congregated,
and it was with dithVuliv that the officers could
get through with the prisuuers. At the depot
here they were met by several hundred persons
who escorted them to the jail, all anxious to See
tue parlies. The officers say they had no trouble
batever with the men. Reitz was the only one
of the four that was not hand-cuffed.
While coming down in the ears, after passing
Suydertowu, the brakeman announced that the
next station was Suubury, at which Reitz re
marked, "'and the next is Philadelphia." Per
haps that will be the next station of any im
ortanee for him.
None of the money has been recovered. Reitz
either doe not know or will not tell where il is
concealed.
Thus far live of the gang of seven are in jail,
the sixth was killed and the sevcuth wounded.
The officers know who he is bul they have been
unable lo get hold of hiin.
REITZ'8 CONFESSION.
Reitz says that be left Zerfing's mill about six
p. in. ou the day that he came with bis fatheras
far as that place ; that he eiime to this place and
took the seven o'clock train for Williatnspoit,
where he staid all night, next morning walking
to Moutoursviile, where he look the cars lor
Hughcsviile ; staid all night airain at Huirhes
ville, and the day following walked to Laporte,
Sullivan county. From there he went to Dn
shore, iu the same county. Here his funds be
came exhausted aud he borrowed twelve dollars
from an acquaintance named Johu L'lts. Frcm
there he took the cars for Towanda, and from
thence to Niagara Falls, and passed over into
Canada, goiug to a place called Hamilton. He
says he had no rest, aud relumed to the Ameri
can side, and on Wednesday arrived at Canisteo.
He says be was not at the robbery at Henuing
er's, but that he knew ' something of the kind
was to be done somewhere in the valley;" that
he had nothing furth.-r lo do with the robbery
than informing Healy and Delaney some partic
ulars us to the circumstances of the Billmaus
and Henninger, and this he did only after being
questioned. He said these two men told him
they would make a raid on the bouse and if he
would go along they would sh ire the spoils with
him. hut that he refused with dignity. This, iu
biief, is his story, let it be worth what it may.
IT.lll AT Til E Jill..
He expressed reat fear, at the jail, lesi the
sheriff would pul'liim iu the same cell with this
four others, as he stood in mortal dread of them .
In this he was accommodated and put in a sepa
rate apartment. Coroner Taylor was as anxiou
that this should be done us the prisoner, as ibe
latter is the main witness lhat the prosecution
will rely upon to convict the others, and it is de
sirable to preserve him from bodily harm until
court, therefore, the suspicion indulged in and
the precaution taken is justifiable, lint if this
proeramme is carried out, Reitz may escape
punishment, as whatever testimony he may give
agalut the other men cannot be used iu a prose
cution against him, nitho'igh it may criminate
Lim.
Reitz i very restlcs and his mind appears to
wander, and he expressed a fear that he would
become insane. He Is apparently deeply peni
tent, whether he tells ths whole truth of course
cannot now he known. One thing is certa in, in
riving himself up he showed that he is not a
Very hardened crimiual. He is not a ragged,
icarty inau, but looks thin, jaded and care-
'oro.
a riu&oNBit in moil gi.ee.
When the four arrived at the jail, Farrcll, the
one who had been arrested at Potlsville, was lit
high glee, aud danced and shouted around be
cause he had "plenty of company," but, of
course, being careful all the while not to say
anything that would criminate him or the new
comers. No recognition passed between them,
and Delaney and Ilcaly even said they did not
know h!m, but the latter was at the jail last
Sunday to see Farrell, and when he was refused
handed some tobacco to Mr. Strine to give him,

It I All the prisoners connected with this alf.iir are
to hobbled except Keitz.
Coroner Taylor has displayed commendable
activity in bringing these men to justice. II
weut as far as Williamsport to meet Alderson
and Reitz on their way to Sunbury.
I he r ehrt ouestion. c observe that a
petition is in circulation, numerously signed by
many of our best citizens, for the rcreal of the
special act of 1S70 incorporating the present
steam ferry at this place, which took from the
borough the right and title to the ferry which it
had held for neaily a century, and vested the
6auic iu our enterprising townsman, Mr. Ira T.
Clement. The ferry had been previously bring
iug iuto the borough treasury a rent of about $350
ht annum, aud the transler was, of course,
brought about quietly und without the knowl
edge of the people by un act put through the
Legislature, by a paid piofescioual borer. The
great wrong was in divesting the borough of its
projurty, which should be kepi under its own
control for the benefit of the towu, and iu sur
rendering it absolutely into the hands of a single
individual, who has the power to use il to suit
himself without regard to the wishes of the bo
rough. The people bad no objection w hatever
to Mr. Clement operating the ferry even nt a
small or nominal rent, as the lesee of the bo
rough, provided the ferry was mauaged for :he iir
terests of the town and the encouragement ol
trade, but they coula not see how that conid be
iloue by giving up their rights und their property
into the hands ol any oue iudividual,who would
naluiaily manage il lo suit his own interests,
i ne idea llierelore tlial the petitioners were
actuated by hostility lo Mr. Clemeiit,us has been
usserted, by iguoraiit aud prejudiced persons, is
absurd. Let Mr. L lenient agree to restore the
lights ol tne borough as they existed before
this act was passed, aud we will agree that he
shall run the ferry uuder a lease from the bo-j
rough, lhat Mr. Clemen' has beeu uu enter-
prising and energetic citizen, is uot denied, and
although this enterprise has resulted to his beue-
hi aud advantage, il does not, and should not
detiaei from his merits. But all llns does nol
warrant him In putting the borough and its
rights uud iulcrcsts into his own poeket.

Five Dats a Bride Sad Reality in Lite.
Il is a very unusual occurrence lhat the an
nouncement of the wedding and the death of
the bride appears in the same issue of a news
paper, yet such an incident is recorded In the
.lMfiiJ;i, (weekly,) published at Milton, Pa.,
January 21st, 1870, in relation lo the marriage
aud death of the bride. Miss Anna M. Rhawn,
of that place, a young lady of most estimable
and lovely charactci, whose early demise is
mourned by numerous relatives ami friends iu
her own town as well as iu this place. We copy
the reference made by that paper to the sad
event :
Weddld and Died. It is seldom we arc
called upon to record so sad a circumstance as
the death of Mrs. Anua M. Striue. On Thurs
day of last week, January 13, 1S70. at 0 o'clock
m. Mr. Thomas Strine und Miss Anna M.
Rhawu were married, having iulended to start
on their wedding tour on the 7 o'cloek train.
Bui as the bride was not well, being barely abie
to stand up while the marriage ceremony was
performed, the tour was abaudoued. She con
tinued to grow wor .: uutil Monday night last,
wheu the doctors informed the family that she
would live but a few hours at farthest, and thai
she might die before morning. The uews was
broken to her by one of her relatives. She re
ceived the dread announcement calmly, uud said
it it was the Lord's will she was ready to die.
She sent for all her friends and bade them fare
well, speaking to each one in a feeling manner,
sang u favorite hymn, and at 7 o'clock a. m. on
Tuesday morning passed from this life to a bet
ter one. The blow is a heavy one to the afflict
ed parents aud friends and especially so to the
husband, whose wedded life was of such short
duration and so completely over-shadowed by
sickness uud death. The entire community
mom ns, und the greatest sympathy is felt for
those who arc to deeply bereaved. The power
that strengthened the dying bride aud gave peace
lo her last hours ou earth can aloue assuage the
grief and comfort the hearts of the mourning
relatives.
We copy the following items from the Shamo
kiu Herald January 27th :
Attempted Mikdlk. Ou Saturday cveuiug
last, at dusk, as William Dilii plain was picking
coal from tie dirt bunk al Dr.niel Webster col
liery, he heard a bullet whiz pa6t his head close
ly followed by another. Hastily turning about
he discovered a man in the bush ul the foot of
the hill, who just then tired another shot, the
ball culling Dillipluiu's bat rim and grazing his
forehead, drawiug blood. This convince I him
lhat il was time to adjouru aud he hastened lo
his home, comer of Fraukliu und SpurZheim
streets, where he lives with his aged aud wid
owed mother. He is about 23 years of age and
is known us a quiet, inoffensive citizen. Il is
supposed the party who did the shooting mistook
him for some oue else.
Attempted Hioiiwat Rwruekt. On the cve
uiug of last pay-day, the 15th iust., Charles
Shauawolf, a German living with his family
corner or Third aud Chestnut streets. West
Shamokin, was returning home with f 57 in his
pocket which he had been paid that afternoon,
and while going up Market street, near the
corner of Market and Chestnut, three meu way
laid uud attempted to rob him. Oue of them
struck him a blow that almost kuocked hiin
dowu ; bnt he succeeded in escaping. He knew
the parties, however, and on Friday last Patrick
Lawless, of Scotch Hill, was arrested, taken be
fore 'Squire Smiuk, and in default of bail was
taken to jail to await trial. The other two vil
lains, Henry Hell and George Kittenhouse, es
caped, and have not been heard of since. All
three are young men uged between 20 and 25
years. Helt lives just across the street from
Shauawolf.

stir up business in that localty.
School House Destroyed bt Fire. At

Valuable to Evert Home. We shall do our
readers a favor by calliug their special attention
to the value, the use ulness, and we mny say
the direct 'rnIf, of supplying themselves the
present year, with one of the chtapttt, as well as
the most valuable Journals Issued in this country.
It costs hardly half a cent a day, a sum easily
saved, while its practical hints and suggestions
will be most likely to bring buck that amount
many times over. The 500 to 600 beautiful, in
structive Engravings, are alone worth many
times the cost of the paper. We refer to the
American Agriculturist, so called because started
35 years ago as a Rural Journal, bul now en
larged and improved to suit the wants of every
family in couutry, village, and city. It is pack
ed full of gtod things, useful, reliable, and in
structive. Each number contains ii larire
(double octavo), pages, beautifully printed.
It has much for instructing and pleasing house-
keepers and children, and farmers, mechanics
merchants indeed all classes. Its house plans
I and improvements, with engravings and parti-
culars as to cost, and the common-sense direc
tions, are orth more than many costly architec
tural works. Its constant, persistent, fearless
exjiosure of humbugs and swindling schemes, is
of great value to ihc whole country and to every
individual. In short, it Is full of good things
for everybody, and we advise everj tody to take
it this year. It will be specially valuable in this
Ceutennial year. Its circulation, which is n
hundred fold greater lhan the majority of other
journals, euubles the publishes to suddIv the
American Aariculturitt at the very low rate of

have been looking around some. This is a big
country and in need of improvements. Topeka
is the Capitol of Kansas, built on high ground,
on the banks of the Knaw river, aud U one of
the railioad centres of Kansas. It is the junc
tion of tho Kansas Pacific and Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe R. R. Both roads are doing a
good traffic in passengers, grain, coal and cattle.
Here are their principal shops for repairing en
gines nnd cars. There ire ten thousand iuhabi
tauts in this city, well supplied with churches,
schools aud hotels.
The city is lighted with gas, has a paid fire
department consisting of oue Silsby stcaincn
two chemical engines, one hook and ladder
truck, all drawn by horses. Through the cour.
lesy of the chief engineer, Mr. Wilmarth, I was
permited to see the horses exercised. At the
sound of the gong they are all loosened and each
went to go to the aparatus alone. They stand
in uarness at all times and come out very
promptly.
The city is lively at present as the Legislature
is in session, and they have plenty to do. That
which seems most to claim their attention is re
sumption of specie payment, herd and dog law.
The Grangers have a good mouth for mutton so
has the dog, nnd the dog usually gets the first
pick. Kansas is a good country for dogs, and a
dng that can't catch a sheep is of no account.
Sheep are d jin well here. Before the dogs bad
possession of the country the wolves occupied
the land, but they and the sheep did not do so
well together. A man, with the aid of his dog,
run the wolf out. Now the Grangers want the
Legislature to ge for the dog, and if they do
some one may go for them.
General Sheridan passed over the Santa Fc
Railroad to-day.
The Omaha tribe of Indians had left their re
servation to go on a hunt, but the Buck's had
war paint on, so I'nele Sam took them back,
telling them It was a poor time to hunt ; the
trouble was that there was some Sioux Indians
bufialo hunting up on the Medicine, aud if the
Omahas had got up there th-y would of had
good hunting.
This is a very mild winter, fine weather, game
is plenty, and choice buffalo and amelope steak
sell at 10 cents per pound iu city market.

The association is chartered on the ptrinantiU
yttem, and will maintain its existence by the
issue of a new series every year. This serial
plan illuminates the dead-lock feature of the
terminating associations. It is fonuded on the
latest improved principles, and will doubtless
commend itself to all who are desirous of saving
their money and to those who are eager to bor
row. Especially to working men will this be
an object of attraction. The association has
met with fair success during the firs; year of its
existence, and from promises received they have j
been induced to issue 500 shares for its second !
series. All who are desirous of obtaining stock I
or in forma tien, can be accommodated by applying
to any of the officers or, to any of the board of '
directors. '
