ness to Providence for his protection,
and then said that he knew that his
innocence would at last be discovered,
and that he would not be hung for a
crime he did not commit. Neal
shortly after came in, and the visitors
piled him with numerous questions,
all Of which we're replied to seemingly
with forced calmness, and at
times one could see the
great excitement they labored
under. Neal occasionally would be-
come impatient when the same ques-
lions would be- reiterated, whileCraft,
being the spokesman as usual, an
swered the questions with considerable
control. He said that he always felt
secure, knowing that his innocence
would one day be proven; that he
always had a clean heart and that he
felt that Providence would not desert
him. On being asked if he knew any
of the negroes who had been arrested
he replied in the negative. He said
also that he knew the guilty ones
would be caught sometime, eonse-
quently he lived in hope; had always
said they might as we'll take a child
aud hang it as hang him.
Craft also spoke of the crime,
saying that he knew nothing
about the crime he had been arrested
for; that the newspapers had called
him everything they could. yet he
bore them no malice. and if the Lord
forgave them he could also. He
didn't know Burnett, the detective,
but expressed rather strongly his
opinion of Helm, whom be said
ought to have been hung, to which
Neal heartily agreed to, commenting
on Helms mendatity. Craft then
continued: II was raised honest and
true, and troubled no one, and those
that have injured US will have it to

Made Mad by Is Religious Gievlval.

Daring the past week or two very
successful religious revival has been in
progress at the Reformed church at Shen-
andoah, Schuylki.l county, Pa. Hundreds
OF people have been III attendance daily,
and many who had hitherto led immoral
and dissipated lives and probably had not
been at church for years were converted.
Among those present was a Mrs. Ann
Wagner, whose manifestations of piet Y
attracted the attention ot many in tho
large audience who nightly assembled
She was so deeply interested in the relig-
ious exercise that her mind became un-
settled, and she believed the hour had
come when she should offer up some
sacrifice. After service on Sunday night
she attempted to kill her only child, an
interesting little girl of 10 years, and would
have succeeded had it not been for the
timely assistance of a neighbor, who res
cued the girl. Hopes were entertained
that the mother was only temporarily
affected, but this afternoon she was placed
in carriage and taken to tho insane
asylum q raving maniac. On the way
there her guards were pOwerless to keep
her quiet. She sang hymns and prayed
aloud. Her case is hopeless. She is 30
years Of age and Of prepossessing appear
ance. The affair created considerable
excitement at Shenandoah, where she lived
and was highly respected.

Thanks from tho Germans for American
Donations.
A dispatch from Berlin says upon the
reassembling of the Reichstag, the
president, in his opening address, stated
that during the recess of the chamber a
large number of donations for the relief
of the flood sufferers along the Rhine had
been received. Most of them, he said,
had come from America. The House
adopted a resolution expressing, in the
name of the nation, its most heartfelt
thanks to those who bad so generously
responded to the appeals for assistance.
kilograms were received by various mem
bers of the Reichstag from Kiel, announc
ing that Herr Vollmar, Socialist, q men,
Der of that body, was arrested there this
morning.
Minister Lowell Speaks.
Minister Lowell, in London, in his
late speech at the lord mayors banquet,
Tuesday night, said that he had from time
time read sensational statements in tho
newspapers, purporting to give the in
structions he had received from his gov
ernment and the words he had spoken on
diplomatic questions. He would say that
these proIhesies were like those of the
prophet Wiggins. He should, in spite of
them, continue to believe that the good
relations now existing between Great Bri-
tain and the United States would DO en-
during; certainly nothing that he could
do would tend to lesson their friendly
character.

The FEM MALE MINsTKEiS,
"A GOOD Variety Show Gwen.

The variety company known as "Sulli-
van s. GaylOrd's Female MastOdOns" ap-
peared in this city last evening. Tho
upper part of the house was very full, but
not more than three fourths of the seats
below were taken The company consists
OF ten men and nine ladies all told. Tho
trst part is something Of novelty on
account Of its arrangement. Seven girls
were seen, six of whom occupied seats in
swings suspended from the flies, while the
seventh, attired in tights, reclined on q
lounge. There were the usual end
and middle men. This part of tho
performance was very short and
its principal feature was the singing of
Miss Lizzie Mulvey. Part second opened
with q cornet solo by Harry Hardy, which
was excellent and deserving of the loud
applause received. Mr.. Hardy is q young
man and bids fair to make his mark as q
cornetist Dick Baker followed in rapidly
executed crayon portraits of Garfield and
Ben Butler. The sketch Of John Merritt
and Bertha Waring was very clever and
the former created lots of fun as tho fat
wench, while Miss Waring amused all by
her hoop dancing. Miss Lizzie Null
vey's singing and dancing were capital.
She is q tiue artist, and feature of her
performance is the NEGRO Winging.p
Williams & Ryan created fun as tho
1rishmen although their brogue is not
heavy their acts are amusing. Miss Bessie
Beach sang several songs and displayed a
handsome form. The artists of the cvc-
ming were Ed. Connolly and Virginia
Ross, who are always welcome here; their
acting is funny, singing fine, and were last
seen here on Christmas night with McIn-
tyre & Heath. Tho performance closed
with burlesque, entitled, The Jersey
Lily" in which the whole company was
seen, the most prominent being Miss
Mable Stanton. Tho ladies' all looked
pretty in neat tights and, among tho funny
men was ]. Ryan, as the policeman. The
orchestra was one of tho best of the season
for its size. The party appear in York to-
night.

THE SPRINGBoNNET.
Pay Your Money and Take Your Choice .:
Many styles.

Pay Your Money and Take Your Choice 0:
Many styles.
Jennie June's New ork Letter.
No better illustration could ba found of
the condition of fashion as it exists to day,
than the grotesque, many colored, hydra
shaped and strongly contrasted spring
bonnet. Manufacturers of original
''straws" are at their wits end for 4
novelty. The "h;storic past" has been
exhausted-that : SO far as ignorant imi
tations can exha' t original ideas-and
there is no one who dares or who has
enough intelligent knowledge to come
out and give as an American shape, an
original and picturesque mode, whose dis
tinction and fitness would win for it
respect and ae ,ptance. At present
those who pay their money may truly
take their choice. We have the scoop
and the "pointod poke, the "gypsy" "
and the "capote," the "Scotch bonnet
and tho "khedive' cap, the "Gainsbor.
ough" and tho "Derby, the Marie
Stuart and the simple turban, and a
thousand shades and gIadations between
these. We have straws in every color to
match the latest sha les in costume, and
we have then all black or all white which
are popularly supposed to be suited to any
costume, though the authorities discredit
this assslt tion. We have what are musi-
cally called "symphon:cs " in color, but
which al merely confused tumble of
colOred sounds without clearly defined
purpose, and therefore without harmony.
Another style of bonnet is the pointed
poke in English or satin straw. These arc
often trimmed in ali ivory white and
gold, or white and pink, or pink with 2
little infusion of delicate blue. or pale blue
with soupcon of pink. They are not
very large, and are more bee oming than
could be imagined from sc sing them or
the head, especially to an irregular face
These shapes are seen in colors, in
ecru, apricot, strawberry, bronze, and
even in terra Gotta red, but not in black
The black straws and chips are mainly
found in three shapes-the capote, the
moderate scooped shaped poke, and the
gypsy. Excepting in mourning, it is now
rare to see an all-black bonnet. Black
straws are very much trimmed with gold
birds and small pompons in groups o.
three and the brims edged with gold cord
narrow gold cord braid or gold embroid
dred lace.

DORSEY'S ADMISSIONS.
The War He Made on Two of OariielG'
Advisers.

The War He Made on Two of Uariield's
Advisers.
In the Star Route trials yesterday Dor
sey was asked if he had not sought to use
the affidavit to secure the removal of
James and MacVeagh, charging them
with burglary and other heinous Offenses
in seeking to procure his (Dorsey's) books
and papers to be stolen. He rather def
antly declared that he had done every
thing he could to secure their removal !;
that the charges in the affidavits were true
and that Governor Foster, of Ohio, had
told the president substantially the same
thing, and had said that the officers should
be removed. Witness opinion was that
if the president had lived week longer
he would have followed that advice He
Indignantly repelled the assumption that
he hao sought protection from James and
MacVeagh, asking if the counsel believed
that an ant could hurt an elephant.
Mr.. Merrick-Which is the ant and
which is the elephant?
Answer-I will leave that to popular
opinion.
The question having been reiterated the
witness said that if he had not tried in
every possible way to have James and
MacVeagh removed his "tongue had not
known its cunning"

Tho HelIig Case.
The court has as yet taken no official
cognizance of tho fact that by reason OF
Misrepresentation made to it Richard
Heilig, indicted for felony, was admitted
to his own rccOgnizance, discharged from
custody and has not been retaken.
Counsellor A. F. Shenck, defendants at
torney, denies that lie joioed the district
attorney in any representations to the
court. He says that it was the district
attorneys own suggestion to have defend
ant admitted to his own recognizance, and
all the statement he (Shenck) made to
Davis was that q man named Patterson,
of Mt. Joy. reported to him that the pros
ecutOr did not want to prosecute and
could not make out the case.
An examination of the docket shows
that Hcilig was indicted Aug. II, 1881,
and that his recognizance was forfeited
and respited Oct. %, 1881, Nov. 26. 1881.
Dec II, 1881, Jan. 81, 1882. March 4 1882,
and finally it was forfeited absolutely and
process issued April 90, 1881. On March
26. 1888, after he had been arrested, dupli-
cate process was issued and upon this
Judge Patterson admitted him to bail on
his own recognizance, and he skipped.
Counsellor SheDck cannot understand
why Heilig's bail was forfeited absolutely
even on April 22, 1882, and he says that
it was contrary TO an understanding with
the district attorney that the case should
DO again continued.
