FEMININE.


AffcAN 0N SupNuheu hNlVuHtUEhs
Detective Gordon and Special Officer Roberts
this morning succeeded in arresung Two
females named Sarah and Laura Haines,
mother and daughter, at Thirteenth and
Locust streets, on the charge of conspiring to
defraud by false representations. The two, 1t
appears, travel as it is termed, ION their shape,
and represent that tb3y are daily expecting a
handsome legacy. Some days ago they called
on a Mrs. Shivers, doing business at Thirteenth
and Chesnut Streets and ordered some $1,000
worth of fancy and fine underwear, stating
that they would call and pay for them in a
few days. II appears that they afterwards en-
deavored to obtain portion of the goods, when
Mrs. Shivers suspectiug something wrong,
called at the Detective Office, and lodged infor-
nation with Chief Kelley.
A watch was then set on them, and they were
tracked from place to place until to-day, when
the arrest was made. The two, seeing the
officers, separated several times and ran through
several alleys but all to no purpose. 1t has also
been ascertained that they have been boarding
at No. 1915 Locust street, since the 26th of jan
uary, and have succeeded in running up board
bill of some $500, besides $25 for 'extras." The
prisoners are respectably-dressed, lady-like per-
sonages and would not for one moment be
suspected of any dishonesty They stoutly deny
the charge made against them, and aver that the
whole affair is simply persecution. They will
have hearing this afternoon, when the whole
matter will be more fully developed.

RICHINGS IN NEW ORLEANS.

Southern CrIIicism-AnOther Result OF the Fif-
teenlh Amendment.
The New Orleans Times of the 18th instant
says:-
And here for a cursory resume. The rattling,
dashing Position of LOnjunledu was rendered
on Sunday night with the esprit and UerUe which
vein the groundwork of the piece itself. Mr..
Bowler was full of Uin in ''Chapelon." ''Bijou"
was q second edition of 'Beppo," not the least
lost in the translation, rather subsequent issue.
Peakes is young aspirant of decided talents.
In many portraitures he has displayed genius.
no vaticinal powers, we simply venture to pre-
his profession. We have watched this
young Henry G. Peakes, and from his
''Devilshoof down to his "Bijou," ay, we may
say his Fernando we have seen enough to
trace salient features o. conception, compre-
hensive reach and compass appropriately adj
mixed, in his vocal and dramatic embodiments.
Then we had II 1rOUGtOre, in which Mr. Dray-
ton gave us q transcript of his original "Count
de Luna" The rich, deep notes of his thor
oughly intonated baritone rang out in the silence
of the gloom that inhabited most of the scenes
of which this opera is composed with telling
effect, and the chime of ''Manrco's" tenor, as
the solos he sings seemingly issue out of the
profounder bass of the Count, fell on us like a
gush of music that, though soft, is loud enough
to lndertone the wave; breath along the shore
of song had stirred the ripple of sounding har-
mony.
1t is hard to say exactly what this means, but
we infer that on the whole the critic is favorable
to Mrs. Bernard's enterprise.

CITY HNT ELL q EN e H.

THE DEATH OF STACY B. BANCROFT one of
the Oldest and most successful dry goods mer-
chants of this city, occurred at his residence,
No. 1903 Vine street, on Saturday last Mr..
Bancroft was born near Pennington, Hunterdon
county, New jersey In 1895; hence, at the time
of his demise, was in the neighborhood of
seventy-fve years of age. He was descended
from an English family of distinction, branch
of which settled in New Jersey about the year
1740. He came to this city as a boy in the year
1917, and by dnt of perseverance and industry
worked himself up the ladder of commercial
greatness until he became partner in the we'll
known firm of Bray IL Bancroft, No. 407 Market
street, which firm he and Mr.. Bray created, and
which has been carried on under the manage
ment of Mr.. Bancroft until the present time, his
partner, Mr. Daniel Bray, having died in 1850
The name of the firm afterwards became Bar
croft, Beaver & Co., and in 1853 changed to the
present title Bancroft d Co.
Mr.. Bancroft was a public-spirited, philan-
thropic gentleman, and was one of the few who
do not permit the right hand know what the left
doeth.
In manner he was quiet, retiring, courteous,
and gentlemanly. As a merchant, besides being
eminently successful, he was a most valuable
member of the community, and his demise leaves
a vacancy in commercial circles that will be
deeply felt and deplored. He has been connected
with the business interests of Philadelphia for
more than half century.
He is reputed to be worth over a million dol
lars, all of which he made by his own indefati-
gable perseverance and industry He leaves q
widow, but was never blessed with children.
LOCAL ODDS AND ENDs.-Harmony Section,
Cadets of Temperance will be organized at the
Good Intent Engine house tomorrow night.
The merchants on Market street. from

at the sight of half-a-dozen dirt scrapers and
few old brooms.
The caisson for the bridge over the East
river, at New York, was launched on Saturday.
The one for the Delaware bridge will be ready
about the year 1870 or some time thereafter.
The old Falls of Schuylkin bridge is to be

The second annual reunion of the Alumni
Association of the Philadelphia College of Phar-

Immediately order down that brick pile.
Again there is trouble ahead for the De-
mocracy. Cassidy is going to resign from the
presidency of the Ninth and Arch crew, and
then what will the ''unterrifed" do? Campbell's
Chase of the "Monk" is at the bottom of the
trouble.
just now pretty little battle is going or
over the Military Tax Receivership. Messrs
Harwood and Kerns both desire the "sof

PUGILISM.
A Prize Flight TINT Did Not Come on.

The so-called ''manly art of self-defense"
seems to be gaining ground in this city daily,
and prize fights are becoming as common as
flies in August. About 4 O'clock yesterday
morning Sergeant Whalen and Officers Reeves,
Gallagher, and Dennisson, Of the Second dis
trict, noticed gang of roughs proceeding down
Fifth street. and, surmising their intent, sepa-
rated and followed after them. The roughs
proceeded to Stone House lane, below Second
street, where a suitable spot was selected, stakes
driven, and a ring formed. The two principals
then entered the ring, their seconds followed
and all being in readiness, time was about being
called when the officers appeared. If battery
of 100-pound Armstrong guns had opened on
them the CONSERVATION of the crew could not
have been greater Like so many hares from
before pack of hounds they started for their
respective holes, and went scampering in all
directions. The major portion of them sue
ceeded in escaping, the officers turning their
attention to the principals and the seconds,
whom they arrested and took before Alderman
Lutz, who held them in 5000 bail each to answer.
The former are named Samuel McClain and
Francis Toe, the latter Joseph McKeever and
William Cergee.

accuracy of his matter.
About three years ago Mr.. Wakeman who
had previously been good sketch writer, began
to contribute some now well-known articles 10

spotless character. His death is the cause of
deep sorrow to all who knew him.

American Anti-Slavery Society, which
was organized thirty-fve years ago, held
a meeting in New York on the 9th inst,
and declared itself disbanded; the objects
for which it was organized having been
accomplished. The exit Of the associa-
ton was celebrated by grand "jubilo'
in which Mrs. Tappan, Fred. Douglas,
Wendell Philips, Old Abby kelly Eos

tiers were read from Maria Child, Gov.

was from the efusion of this last named
that the spirit of the following resolutions
were drawn. In their rancor they sound
