 A tall man was bending over a bench, absorbed in the contemplation of life lock which he held in bls hand; yet he caught the fall of the light foot behind him and turning, it was easy to see that he was the brother of the Indian girl.
 He had the same handsome but sad features, the same splendid sweep of limb and grace of bearing.
 Is my brother Ulay busy?' asked Zelonah, in a low, sweet voice.
 Always busy, my sister, but always happy to have you near me, and to listen to the music of your voice. said Ulsy, laying down the rife, and gently placing his hand on bis sisters shoulder. T have much that is weighty to talk 10 you of she began, then hesitated.

 Zelonah then briefly. related Lucy's condition, dwelling on the fact that she was to be married to Elder Saul Griscom in the morning, and that her only hope of avoid ing this alliance, which was worse than death to her, was by immediate flight. Do the wives of Henderson know any l thing of this ? asked Clay. - Yes, they know all about the marriage.

 The prayed.for opportunity had come. Captivity had been sweet, shared with his sister, and near Lucy. Now came the occasion, when he might be free, and still near them.
 His lips grew firmer, and turning, he opened a box, took out lot of arms, and began carefully to examine them with the air of one who might be called on to use them, and who would be. ready when tue l time came.

mr. Evart's summing UP.

COMMENCEMENT OF HIS ADDRESS TO THE JURY-A
CROWDED COURT ROOM AND DEEPLY INTERESTED
AUDIENCE.
Mr.. Evarts began his summing up speech in
the Tilton-Beecher suit yesterday. The Court
room was densely packed, and hundreds strug
gled Intellectually to get in. More ladies were
in the audience than since the opening OF the
trial. All of the defendants counsel were pres
ent while only Mr.. Beach and Mr.. Morris ap-
peared in court for Mr.. Tilton. For the first
time since tho taking of testimony was closed,
Mr.. Moulton occupied his old seat near Mr.. Til
ton during the whole day.
Although the character of Mr.. Eyarts's ad-
dress was far from being denunciatory, yet the
keen thrusts, witty as well as argumentative,
which he occasionally gave the plaintive and his
friends, appeared to be more distasteful to both
MIR. Tilton and Mr.. Moulton, than the more vio-
lent invective Of Judge Porter had been. Both
of them turned red in the face, and once Mr..
Moulton seemed to be angered by a reference to
Mrs. Moulton made by the orator.
MIR. Beecher watched the speaker with
thoughtful looks. With lips slightly parted. and
one ear turned partially toward the orator he
seemed to catch not only every word, but the
significance of every intonation and every shade
of emphasis with the most careful interest.
The jurymen appeared to feel that their atten-
tion would have to be very close in order to fol-
low the argument of Mr.. Evarts, and not word
seemed to escape their ears. Both Mr.. Beach
and Mr.. Tlton took notes very industriously.
The attention OF the audience was secured by
the first words that the orator spoke and during
the whole day silence reigned in the court room,
except when some humorous story, or witty re-
mark set the audience to laughing.

Robbery in 11th Street.

wM. BRIdHT'5 RESIDENCE ENTERED THREE IIMEs
"A PERSISTENT EFFORT TO ROB.
Last night, very persistent effort was made
to rob the dwelling of William Bright, No. 10
West 11th street. The robber failed to arouse
the family and 80 had his own way about it. He
seems to have first forced an entrance into the
cellar through the outer door and to have made
and effort to get into the dwelling through
the cellar way, but was resisted by bolted door.
He then broke open the shutters of the kitchen,
but was unable to pass beyond this apartment
because OF another bolted door. Still continuing
his efforts, the robber procured a step ladder
which was sitting in the yard, and climbing on it
to the transom over the dining room door, he
Here he was rewarded for his trou-
BILE by finding lot of silver forks
and spoons, which he carried away with him,
worth about twenty-five dollars. This plunder
seems to have satisfied the thief, as his efforts
were not renewed. Mr.. Bright and family were
unaware Of what had occurred until awakened
by the ice man this morning.
Mr.. Bright thinks he has clue to the robber

we'll dressed and rather progressing in appear
ance, entered the dwelling on an invitation in
response to knock, and inquired for gentle
man named Shaw, who had removed from the
fact, tie man expressed great regret, as he said
he could borrow from him sufficient money
to take him to Baltimore, whereupon
MIR. Bright generously gave the fellow
two dollars. His stay was brief, but Mr.
Bright noticed that while he remained the
stranger in 8 careless way was examining the
premises pretty carefully.

WILMINGTON, DEL, FRIDAY. MAY %. 1875.

Referring to the crusade in the West, Mrs.
French showed wherein it differed from the
work in the East, which she claimed was equal
ly effectusl, and coming down to the organiza-
tion effected during the day, she said that it
meant determination Of the rum traffic. There
are now, she said, organizations in 10 States,
and by October it s expected they will be ex-
tended to every state in the Union. The OBJ
jects Of these organizations are the education
OF public opinion and the gathering into them
OF the children, while the instrumentalities
upon which reliance is placed for the accom-
plishment of good are unceasing prayer and
the circulation Of the pledge.
The plan OF operating in Philadelphia was re-
lated, and Mrs. French said that very soon after
the presentation of Christ to the rumseller he
would begin to apologize for his business.
Inebriate asylums, Mrs. French said, have
been erected for men throughout the land, but
not one for unfortunate women. She Thought
such All institution a necessity, and said that
the erection Of one or more is contemplated by
these temperance organizations.
This meeting was held in the auditorium Of
Grace church. Twelve ministers sat upon the
platform. The music, led by Prof. Rhoads, with
Miss Annie Pickels at the Organ, WAS all that
might be expected from the distinguished ability
of tho eight members Of the selected choir

The NlayOraity.

TO the Editor ofthe Commercial:
Feeling great interest in and knowing the i'm.
portance of selecting the best man in the ranks
OF the party for the coming Mayoralty would
impress upon your readers their duty at the
nomination.
Men who are your personal friends, of estab.
lshed reputation, of thorough business qualities,
and who are sanguine of their SUCCESS, may pre-
aent themselves Men Of intelligence who have
been moderately successful in professional life
Inay aspire to the oilire. Men who belong to
rings, and ats n consequence have held Office re-
peatedly, and who claim because CT their ex-
perience to be the most capable, may thrust
themselves upon us, that they may still bo
supported from the public purse. Shall
we voters, who have the right and
power invested within us nominate one of tho
iirst class because he wants to be the Centennial
Mayor, or Of the second class because he desires
by IL to popularze himself, or of the third class
because he il tired OF business and wishes to get
more lucrative positon9 We answer no, but
let us weigh this matter we'll for it is one worthy
OF deep deliberation. When we come to the
polls, throw Off the vail of delusiOn and mis-
representation aud see and think for ourselves I;
consider who IL the best fitted who will poll the
heaviest yote acquit himself the most creditably
in office and vote for the man whose highest
aims and purest motives is and shall be to serve
our beloved people justly and intelligently, whose
actions will ever command our praise and
qualification OF having one public servant whose
delight it will ever be TO represent the city
honorably and ably at all times, upon all occa-
sions.
At this time it is very essential that we name
strong man, one who will poll the whole repub-
can vote. Let us nominate u man who has a-
ways been allied with the Republican party,
man like Robert c. Fraim, Esq., who has always
proven himself equal to any task that has been
given to him. A man who as mechanic under
stands the interests OF that class, as u teacher
understands the government of the mutitudes,
as lawyer understands the legal requirements,
az merchant understands their ylcissitudes
Having always been connected with ono or the
other Of those vocations he should certainly be
appreciated by the followers of each and receive
their support. Since he is self-made man-a
man of the people and with the people-he is
the ono who will carry the masses. His past
history il unimpeachable and what ever he has
ever attempted to do he has done it with all the
energy and thought that could be brought to
bear.
Let us then turn out in solid phalanx and vote
for Mr.. Fraim. Honor ourselves by casting our
vote for the one who will most honor it. Thus
secure Mayor for Wilmington whose ambition
1t will ever be Ia leave an untarnshed record and
invariably deal justice to ALL

has proven himself to possess, and with such a
person our leader, we shall march OH to pros
perity and triumph. and become one OF the best

A Terrible Disaster.

BURNING OF THE FRENCH CATHOLIC CHURCH AT

TBAMPLED AND BURNED TO DKATH-THE DEAD
AND woUNDED-onIoIN OF THE FIRE.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 27.--The most terri
BILE disaster in the history of Holyoke, Mass,
occurred tonight ia the burning Of the French
Catholic Church at South Holyoke during the
evening service, involving the loss Of 66 men,
women and children. The exercises had nearly
the draperies on the altar caught on fire from q
CANDLE and the wall being low, and the flames
streaming up, the
BUILDING WAS BET ON FIRE.
The audience numbered about 100. The peo-
pie in the body Of the church escaped, but on
the stairway leading from the gallery human be-
inga were packed in a dense mass, struggling to
escape as the flames rushed toward them. Many
leaped to the floor beneath, and were trampled
to death. The gallery skirted both sides Of the
building, with only one entrance from the front.
The scene WAS fearful in the extreme during the
little while it lasted, for the whole was over i'll
20 minutes.
Besides So dead, there are enough fatally
wounded to carry the total loss of life up to rs.
The priests house, which adjoined the church,
was also burned. 1t joins the church on the
rear, and many escaped through an entrance
leading to the house, back Of the altar.

the moans Of the dying made deafenlng tumult
above the orders of the pastor, who worked
most heroically, and was personally instrument
tai in saving many lives. One family Of four
were in the church, and all were killed. Many
were pulled out by the arms and feet, 80 badly
burned that they lived only few hours, the
flesh peeling OF on being touched. Some were
taken out with scarcely any flesh remaining on
their bones. The sisters of mercy from the
convent were soon on hand, caring for the
wounded and holding services over the dying,
while Father Dufresne also held
MANY SERVICES OVER THE DYING.
His neither was among those terribly burned.
Father Dufresne lost almost everything in his
residence, so rapidly was the building consumed,
it being as dry as tinder.
The large wooden tenement block Of Joseph
Prev, near the burned church, was thrown open
for the reception Of the dead and wounded and
several deaths occurred in the building during
the night. Several were also taken to the New
York Mills boarding house, and the physicians
gave the wounded the best OF medical care.
Those who were too badly burned to recover
were put under the influence of morphine, and
passed away without struggle. While the ex-
ercHes were being held over the dying most in
