letter In the form Of a sworn affidavit,
was read from Charles w. Woolley stating
that he had been Ill for more than a week and
was then confined to his bed and could not
leave IT without probably endangcring his
life The witness further stated that he had
read the evidence OF one John F. Coyle aud
swears without condition, equlvocation or ex-
ception, that 40 far as the statements said
Coyle purported to say OF him, (afiiant) the
same are utterly false. Affiant asked that his
affidavit be allowed place with the records OF
the committee, but on motion of Mr.. Hiscoek
1t was not received. William Z. Chandler asked
to place in the hands Of the committee some
papers in the handwriting of General Barlow.
These letters were put In evidence to show
that at the time they were written General
Barlow was acting In the Republican interest
Mr.. Chandler informed the committee that
HIS Florida cipher and numerous kilograms
sent by him TO Florida were In possession Of
John l. Davenport. James III. Maddox, re-
plNiog to Wharton's statements, said that
Wharton knew Governor Wells was for sale
and he proposed that they should see Packard
In regard 10 II. They talked the matter
over with him, and $4,000 was mentioned as
the sum that would be required, and Packard
did not decline TO put up the money but said
he would take the matter into consideration.
A few days afterward II was suggested by Mr..
Wharton that Packard should promise an Of
flee to Wells Mr.. Packard said he could
not promise him office at that time, but he
had done MIR. Wells many other acts OF
kindness, aud he must Judge from the
past what he would do In the future
Mr.. Maddox reported the conversation 10
Mr.. Wells who declined the offer; he said he
might want 10 leave New Orleans, and did not
want an office, but money, Mr.. Wharton pro-
posed that he (Maddox) should keep up nego-
tiatioas with Mr.. Wells, 10 prevent his enter
ing into any other, but witness declined. Mr.
ID. j. NJ Jewett, who acted as Secretary 20 the
Republican Campaign Committee OF Louis
lana In 1875, testified to false protests made
from several parishes OF Louisiana. The
Chairman then produced the Jewett-Kellogg
letter; but having asked the witness II II wss

WASHINGTON, Feb. q.


United States Marshal Wharton, of New
Orleans, said he had some conversation with
Maddox during his stay in New Orleans rea
tive to position in the secret service division
in the event of Maddox being appointed chief
of that bureau. Had spoken to Maddox about
his (Wharton's) coming to Washington. Wit
ness was examined at length regarding the
charge that party he commanded that went
to Ouchita Parish murdered number of ne
groes, etc; he very emphatically denied that
any one was murdered by his party; on the
contrary, the men who did the killing were
driven out of the parish by him and his
friends. General Butler read letter from
witness (Wharton) to "dear Maddox" 1t
said: "Write me and let me know how to
address you when you get to Washington. II
you should be placed at the head Of the Sc
cret Service Bureau, appoint me at once and
order me to New Orleans from here Jackson
vile, Miss.), as in that way the Government
will have to pay my expenses, otherwise /
shall have to pay them out of my own pocket,
Write two letters, one to Packard
informing him that the President wants Jack
Wharton here lin Washlngton) on important
business, and to send him on immediately OF
course you will tell no one of my appointment"
Witness continuing said he had never made
any proposition to any member OF the Return
ing Board that would lead him to entertain
the idea that he (Wharton) wanted to buy
him out; was positive II the Board did its
duty, Hayes and Packard would surely be
elected ne was alarmed however, that they
would not do their duty. Witness In answer
to the question If he knew how the committee
came to hear of the Jewett letter, said: 81
have not the slightest suspicion. 1t was
given me by Senator Kellogg for my own pur-
pose. He told me this; Look We here this
is a letter that this fellow Jewett has written
to me- He was angry and hurt both, and
read the letter to me, and when we were
discussing what we should do he said he GER
tainly meant to show it to some of the leaders
of the party, so that 1t should not be sup
posed that he was suppressing it. / showed
the letter to three persons but decline to
state to whom" General Butler said he had
suggested to the chairman to have Jewett
called, and then this letter was produced
to prejudice his witness. Now If there was
any combination, or conspiracy by which
the witness was shot down he wanted to find
II out Here a witness came to the stand and
quite incidentally, of course, had a letter in
his pocket, and after little coyness had pro-
duced it, Then Mr.. Cox, already cooked and
primed, says: "Mr. Kellogg is ready to have
the letter produced" Now he must know
how this came about. Mr.. Butler pressed
the witness to tell to whom he had shown the
letter, but without success. The Committee
adjourned until Monday, when Jewett will
be called to testify with respect to the letter

ance. Everybody said that such rem
dition of the parts of Claude and Pau
line had not been given upon those
boards for very many a long year.
Steele, gaining confidence as he warmed
TO the work before him, threw into the
character all the earnestness and fervor
of which he was capable. His love for
Pauline was not the love Of MelnOtte; it
was the love of Edward Steele for Marie
Frondat. His very soul seemed TO look
out from his eyes as he repeated the
tender, well-worn passages, and gave a
new meaning to their hackneyed intona-
tions His lost voice returned to him,
and rang out clear and sonorous, or
anon fell into sweet cadences of exqui-
site tenderness. Marie, stimulated,
encouraged, sustained by his example,
more than fulfilled the expectations of
her friends. The whole house rang
with applaudits.
Beamish, standing anxiously in the
wings, was beside himself with delight.
Three times was the fair debutante
called before the curtain, each time to
be pelted with bouquets, which more
than filled the arms of the happy
Claude, who came forward with her to
receive his share of the general appro-
baton.
The sustained excitement was too
much for Marie. When all was done
she tainted away in the arms of the
faithful Steele on her way to her dress
ing room. 1t was, perhaps, well for
him that she should be taken home in a
carriage as soon as she recovered her
senses. He could hardly have done
justice to his nonsense in the pantomime
had she remained in the theater that
night. Ninette, in bewildering demi-
costume of gauze and spangles, made
her appearance soon after Marie had
gone home.
"Pll be even with you for thisr' she
hissed in Edwards ear. "You had
better finish your job now by getting
Harcourt sober again. He's at my
house, drunk and unconscious
She turned away and was lost in the
harlequin crowd upon the stage-a
fairy queen, with all the ancestral ma
lignancy of her sisterhood in her blue
veins.

The morning service of prayer opened by
reading of the Scripture and prayer by the
venerable Rev. Mr.. Lord of Maryland Ridge,

the title "Hid with Christ in God' by DR..
Ball Of New York, who made a few remarks
upon the presence of God affecting the heart
rather than the head. Prayer by DIR. Ball;
song by Mr.. Phillips, during which collection
was taken up to defray the expenses of the
song sermon services.
Rev. Mr.. LeLacheur in a few well chosen re-
marks called upon the congregation to con-
tribute literally in the great and good cause,
stating that the expenses of Mr.. Phillips series
Of meetings amounted to about 800; that sos
had been contributed, and that a balance OF
some $50 was necessary to be raised in order to
re lieye Mr.. Phillips from the necessity of put
ting his hand into bis pocket and paying fol
the privilege of preaching the blessed word OF
God.

SHOP-LIFTING.
Arrest of Two Women Yesterday

One of the most bold and daring cases of
shop-lifting that has ever been known in this
city was discovered yesterday and the guilty
parties arrested. Two ladies well dressed and
of fine appearance came into j. M. Dyer &
Co.'S, yesterday afternoon for the third time
during the day and made inquiry for some
mosquito bars. While waiting for this to be
brought, lady standing by thought she dis
covered one of these women pulling something
under her shawl from a box standing near her,
and after the women had left informed the
clerk. Shortly after the women again passed
when MIR. Brooks, salesman for Dyer & Co.,
accosted them and told them there had been a
mistake about the mosquito bar and if they
would return to the store it would be testified.
The women Immediately replied that they
''knew what he wanted'' and handed him a
bundle which he took, but compelled them to
return to the store.
The bundle given Mr.. Brooks contained a
cambria suit. AT the store Mr. Brooks told
them that if they would pay for the suit he
would let them go. They said they had no
money, when Mr.. Brooks noticed large
bundle which one of them covered and on
opClllS lUuHu dDOuu nlly ydTuS VI Sulllliler
silk which is identified by Mr.. Rines. Find
ing themselves discovered the women made an
effort to get way but Mr.. Brooks sent for an
officer and had them taken to the station.
Marshal Bridges and Capt Black imme-
diately drove to the women's house in the
suburbs, and there found a large amount of
different sorts including pieces of silk, piece
OF handsome brown velvet, piece Of fine
black hermann, several pieces of wooden stuff, a
large roll of silesia, Bagstaf bible stolen last
winter from Hoyt, Fogg & Donham, two pairs
boots ribbons laces and numerous other
articles. On their way to the store with Mr.
Brooks one Of them dropped in the stairway
between Dyer's and Aliens a curtain from
Corey's, marked at $12. The women looked
over these goods last evening at the station,
confessed having stolen them and gave in
most instances the names of the owners.
Almost every dry goods store in the city has
suffered, but the most valuable OF the plumber
came from NIillet, Chamberlin & Titles
They also confess the theft of many other ar
ticles, which they have used in one way and
another. The women are sisters and married.
apparently not over thirty years of age and of
prepossessing appearance. They were immedi-
ately recognized at the station by several dry
goods dealers as having visited their stores
frequently, but there had been no suspicion of
their thieving. They have always been con-
sidered perfectly respectable and are well con-
nected. Their names are suppressed out of
consideration for their families.
1t is the opinion of the officers that the hus-
bands of the shop-lifters have been entirely ig-
norant of their doings and much sympathy is
expressed for them. The value of the proper
ty thus far recovered is not less than $780, and
probably not less than 5000.
Merchants who have lost goods are requested
to call at the station today

A Strange Occurrence.

Saturday man giving his name as Worm
wood, came into Hayes's stable in this city and
left there team which he said belonged to
Mr. Berdeen, his emplyer, whom he had just
left on Fore street. Norwood was rather the
worse for liquor, and his story was not very
straight, but from what he said it is supposed
that the men belong in Limington and mad
been at Blue Point fishing. He said the owner
OF the team, Mr. Berdeen, was a man of prop
erty and had 800 with him. Norwood re-
manned in town and was at the stable several
times Sunday and Monday, when he said he
was going to walk home to Lmington, and left
the team at Hayess. Monday afternoon a
man came in who said he had seen Berdeen
and made an appointment to meet him there,
which Berdeen failed to keep. None of the
parties have since been seen, and the team,
which is a mean onei is still at the stable.
