Rollins tho RObber.

Ralph Rollins, the Chambersburg bank
robber, was detected few days ago
pounding piece Of glass to powder on the
floor of his cell in the Eastern penitentiary.
He had obtained the bit of glass from his
skylight, and had managed to pulverize it
finely when the keeper came upon him and
took it away from him. He has made sew
eral desperate attempts to escape lately,
and has been affecting to believe that the
prison officials are trying to poison him.
1t is not known whether he intended to
commit suicide by swallowing the pow
dered glass or whether he intended first to
mix it with his food and then exhibit the

Sale of q Railroad.

The West Chester and Philadelphia rail-
road has been bought by the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore company. The
statement was positively made, so late as
Thursday last, that the negotiations be-
tween Colonel McComb and the contrOll-
ing stockholders in the West Chester and
Philadelphia company were still pending,
the former having an option of accepting
certain terms which they had offered but
it now seems either that McComb declined
or that affairs were not in the position de-
scribed. The terms of the arrangement
with the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore people make the price of the
stock $50 per share, which is an extremely
good sale, as recently it has commanded
but s35, the dividends being now at the
rate of but per cent per annum.

TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 1e, 1880.
StatuyOlence.

We publish elsewhere, to-day, a letter
from this country to London spiritual
istic paper, descriptive of the science of
Statuvolence, to which our famous
townsman, DIR. Fahnestock, has given so
much attention, and which he has
named, described and illustrated. The
readers of spiritualistic paper will find
nothing in the science. as DIR. Fahnestock
has developed it, which sustains their pc
culiar fancies and beliefs. There is moth
ing in statuvolence-which has otherwise
been called mesmerism, hypnotism, ami
NAL magnetism, &c.,-more myste-
rious than catalepsy, which is myste-
rious condition of the human frame ia
miliar to all physicians from the remotest
time but which they have never taken
advantage of to aid them in their healing
art. And yet its advantage is obvious.
They have sought anathetics far and
wide to deaden pain and still have fail
ed to seek to control this cataleptic con-
dition in which they well knew pain was
unfelt.
DIR. Fahnestock' grand discovery is
nothing else than that this state can be
produced by an act of the patients will ;
that he can take himself out of it as he
puts himself in it by the power of his
vOlition, and that he can select any part
of the body to put into condition of in
sensibility, without affecting the rest.
Nay, more he can, by so willing it
cause pain to he felt in any part of the
body. In a word, he has complete con.
troll of his sensations through the power
of his WILL
These things are true. DR.. Fahnes
took proves them every day. He is ready
to demonstrate them at all times. HI
does it constantly in the practice of hi!
profession. He is no charlatan. III
has lived in this town all hi:
life and is one its most respected
citizens and distinguished physicians
We need not point out how he avail:
himself of statuvolence in his practice
Obviously the patient is benefited by
being deprived of pain, and just as clear
ly is opportunity given to nature to ban
ish disease by giving to the affected par
the perfect quiet and ease of insensibil
ity.
DIR. FahnestOck has named the science
statuvOlence, because that word means
that it is estate produced by the will,
which is just exactly what he finds thu
phenomenon to be. 1t is nothing more
nor less than will state, which some
persons readily are taught to assume
and some with difficulty but TIN
doctor believes that anyone, with due ex
ertion, can be taught to put himself il
the condition; and that when in it N
disease is.hOpelessly in possession of TIN
body.
There seems to be grand fielt
of investigation opened in the direction
here pointed out. The effect of tn,
will on disease is an old discovery. B.

Plant Club Last Night.

At the meeting of this club last evening
a paper was read by Walter p. King, of
the boys high school, on the Umbellifer-
Gus plants. It was carefully prepared,
we'll read, and the family illustrated from
charts handsomely drawn and colored.
Master King has already analysed more
than than three hundred and fifty plants
during the present season. He has been
securing the country in all directions, has
walked to Smithville swamps twic" after
specimens, and has also been to \ Calls
Ferry and Peach Bottom twice during the
past month, in search of things new and
rare. After this paper had been read, the
Sweet Cicely was analysed by the class.
The next paper, which will treat of the
Cruciferous plants, will be prepared by
Miss Marks.

SENATOR BAYARD's SPEECH LAST
NIGHT was able and convincing. The
crowd that stood and listened was i'm
mense and exhibited the most earnest
enthusiasm. Unfortunately the Sena-
tors voice is not so strong as to be heard
at any but short distance in an out
door meeting, where there is always more
or less noise.
A full and complete synopsis, however
will be found in the GAZETTE to-day ::
and no one that reads what the Senator
said will for a moment doubt the truth
of any remark he made.
In pointing out HAHCoCK's fitness for
the Office of President and expounding
his record for civil administiativ gov
ernment, Mr.. Bayard well asked his
auditors, If in all the many military rul-
ers that bad been put in power since the
war, a single one Of Them, except Han
| cock had refused to exercise the use OF
the bayonet or military law within the
jurisdiction of their command. He had
heard Of none, and there we're none ex-
cept Hancock. He stood alone among
them all refusing to try men by military
courts. When men weIs brought tC
him, he pointed to the q curt House, to
the jury boxes and to the civil process
In this remark the Senator struck the
nail squarely on the head. This is the dis
tiuguishing character of Hancock's mill.
tary record, and it showed he had not lost
that spirit of liberty which the Demo
cratic party had never failed to incal
cate everywhere, and at all times by the
men who founded this Republic and
those who desired TO perpetuate the in
slitutions given to us by the Fathers.
Every word uttered by Senator Bay
ard showed how sincere he was in his de.
sire for union and harmony. He will
do his utmost to bring about the election
OF Hancock In order that this great coun
try may once more enjoy the blessing,
which should flow from the united effort
of fifty millions of people; to change ou
vast forest and prairies into fields bloom
ing with clover and grain, aud to extrac
from our mountain streams the go,t
and silver with which they seem to b,
so richly stored.
Four years of such government al
Bayard would have us given under Hat
cock and English would indeed max,
the great West and the South teem will
products from which the North and Eas
would derive an increasing flow of wealtl
elevating and enriching all and dspress
