Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1880-01-05

We do not hear that Chairman Peck
has decided what course he will pursue
with regard to the manner of selecting
delegates to the republican state conven-
ton, which meets iu Harrisburg on the
4th ofFebruary land we do not suppose he
will thank us, inasmuch as the REVIEW
is not an organ, for any suggestions in
regard to his dnty but it seems tous that
an attempt to get Il delegate convention
together at this time would prove a fail
ure, and that the most judicious plan is
for the chairman to convene the standing
committee, which consists of one mem
Der from each election district, and have
them choose the delegates. The commit
tee men ought to understand the senti-
ment of the party on the presidential
question, and be competent to select del
egates who will fairly and honestly rep
resent the wishes of the republicans Of
Bradford; if the men selected prove rec
reant, " shoot them politically on the
spot" But remember this county is not
the entire state, but that there are some
two hundred and fifty other delegates, who
will have to be consulted in the state con-
vention. The will of the majority must
be acvuiesced in.

Mrs. Hayes attire at the New Year
reception at the White House will be
matter of interest to female readers. Her
dress was of white brocaded satin,
wrought with gold threads. The V
shaped front of the waist was filled in
with lace and her sleeves were Of duchesse
lace with embroidery of seed pearls. The
court train of satin was long and square;
rose-budS were worked upon it with
threads of gold. The plain white satin
petticoat was trimmed with bias folds Of
satin divided by fringe of gold and
pearls. Broad bands of gold embroidery
separated the petticoat from the court
train. In her dark hair she wore a silver
cemb and on her neck "a pendant-a cameo
head of the President set i'll diamonds.

The difficulty of filing the English
mission, it now appears, arises from the
fear of expense to which the appointee
will be put in carrying out his diplomatic
duties. 1t is said it takes at least $780,
900 year over and above the salary to
maintain the American Representation
relatively with those of other nations, in

ADJUSTMENTS.
A OF pENzANcr.


Nearly every one is afflicted with
the belief that their own crow, if they
have a crow, is the BLACKLIST. Theat-
|rical people are especially weak on
this score, and when merited criti-
cism is made upon their exhibitions,
they show their teeth. So with the
Pirates of Penzance. Because their
glare fails to dazzle the public eye,
they feel hurt. In testimony, how
ever, of the lack of public apprecia-
ton, regarding the merits of the Pr
rates, the audience last night was
only fair, something like half
a house, a large falling off from
the first night. The public anticipa-
ton ran high previous to the coming
Of the Pirates, and it was considerably
disappointed. The Pirates are enter
tanning and they are well worth see
ing. Gilbert & Sulliyan's handiwork
is plainly visible in it, to all those
familiar with its predecessor, "Pina-
fore, which took the stage by storm
and gained such wide celebrity for its
authors. The music, a part at
least, is bright and sparkl;ng
and the piece affords numerous
brilliantly striking passages, and low
ers of satire especially deem them
worthy of some praise, though many
are decidedly weak. The leading
soprano, Miss Conroy, it is still main
tanned is the star of the troupe, by
odds. A few of the others won faint
praise last night. The Pirates will be
repeated for the last time here to-
night.

Jail neIirerx.

In the early hours of last night "
culprits escaped from the Jail at Ma
rion, Crittenden county, Ark. Their
names were John johnson, in for
stealing cotton from the point near
Hopefeld, and Hiram Jefries,
charged with aiding in the murder of
old man Broadway, near island 40,
last October. The cell occupied by
L. L. Ford, under sentence of death
for completely in the Broadway kill
ing, was not reached, and Ford is still
in Jail. Tools to work their way out
were evidently supplied the escaped
prisoners by some person from tie
outside. They picked through a brick
wall. johnson, alias Brown, stole
four bales of cotton from the Mem
phis and Little Rock railway, and is
thought to be the same who stole
a bale of cotton from the Mem
phis aud Charleston railroad, and sold
it to Mr.. Bills, ofthis city. Sheriff
Beatty, of Crittenden county, came
over to the city this forenoon in search
of the two men, and it is said that he
will offer a reward of per-
haps $500 for their recapture. The
man Ford, who failed to get out, is
sentenced to be hung on the 18th of
next month, having recently had his
tenure Of life extended to that period
by Governor Miller, of Arkansas.

The bolt hit with a tremendous crash
and created great commotion among
