Probably this was the largest masquerade
ever held by the club. The maskers out
numbered those of last years entertainment,
and the attendance of spectators was much
larger. The costuming was not richer than
has been seen here before indeed. scarcely so
elaborate. Among the ladies there were
more original or homemade stumes than
seen at any previous masquerade of this club.
There was considerable originality also; but
many Of the maskers aimed at great difficult
ties. when they would have done better to
have taken simpler models. Altogether the
masquerade was well managed, brilliant
spectacle and social success.
Among the maskers note was made Of
these:
P. J. Boehm, costume of 1876.
Mrs E. Himmel as RED STAR" an orig

Mrs. s. Schneidewind as German Bauer

Justice Willis, who set fire to
house at Putnam, r. L., was caught
with difficulty. There was at first
only detectives vague suspicion
against him, resting upon no evidence.
1t would not have done to have ar
rested him, for he was man of good
standing, and SO much Of a politician
that he expected to go to the next State
Legislature. a plot was therefore
laid to make him convict himself. a
woman was sent to board in the same
house with him. She pretended to be
book -canvasser. After gaining his
confidence she told him that she real
" belonged to gang of thieves, who
had large amount of Government
bonds to sell. Willis eagerly pro
posed to act as agent for
the purpose. He went with the
woman to Boston, where she intro
duccd him to several men who person.
atod the band Of robbers. They at
fected to doubt his sincerity. Fear
ing that he was about to miss profit
able bit of business, he tried to win
their confidence by telling them Of
crimes which he had committed. He
had stolen from various persons, and
once in bank, when counting money
alongside man who was doing the
same, he slyly elapped the others
pile on his own, and it was supposed
that sneak thief had disappeared
with the missing notes. This exploit
apparently delighted the listeners tit
turns out to be a true story, and they
led him to confession of the incen-
diarism. A concealed shorthand wri-
ter took down all he said, and his ar
rest followed.
