The Highwayman Caught

The Highwayman Caught.-Our re-
port of the robbery Of the two ladies near
Unity and of Mr. VIM, Moblcy's house at
Laytonsvillcl last week closed by saying that
the perpetrator was still at large During
the evening of Thursday of last week he was
brought here after we had gone to press
He proved to be German by the name of
Jean Sutlantz, about 25 years of age, and
resident of this country for twelve months.
He was arrested by several young gentle
men in the neighborhood of Unity where
he had returned, after his robbery at Lay
louisville, by mistaking his road, it is sup
posed. When arrested, two large revolvers
were found upon his person. He was not
given chance to make any resistance with
his weapons when he was arrested. The
commitment was executed by Justice Hugh
G.. Townsend
Mr.. VIM. Mohley visited the Jail on Tues
day last to see the prisoner with the pur
pose of finding out what he did with
satchel that he carried away the night of
the robbery. He was told by the prisoner
that the satchel was further down the fence
in the woods where the other satchel was
found and that it contained five shirts He
also stated he entered the house through an
! open bay window and unfastened shutters,
though the latter were closed, by himself
Sheriff White was also present at this con
versation, and looked into dilapidated old
trunk sitting in the prisoners room. There
he found three pieces of sheet iron, each
about six inches long, that looked as if they
had been at one time attached to the trunk
One Of these pieces bore the appearance Of
an effort to convert it into saw. The
Sheriff quickly destroyed them all
The prisoner is bright and innocent look
ing, and was very reticent, except that he
answered a few questions put to him.
Mr. Mobley is of the opinion that he has
recovered all the articles stolen from his
house, except the satchel that he made in
quiry about In ransacking the house he
thinks the prisoner did not get into his
room, as $3.50 in his pocket were not dis
turbed, The entry and escape in and from
the house were effected without being heard
| by any of the inmates.

sation rcsembled that of several fish
hooks being torn through the flesh. I'm

his arm and face and head were broken
out in small pimples within twenty-foul

FASHION FANCIES.

After all, the handsomest, most ele-
CANT and becoming gown for woman
not fat, short and clumsy is of back
velvet.
This is an ostrich feather season.
Fans, boas, band trimmings for hats and
dresses, and tips and plumes for bon
nets and hats, all of ostrich feathers, are
in high favor.
Smock frocks are all the go and are
"English, you know" They are simply
a skirt tucked above q deep hem and
gathered full about the neck and again
at the belt into wide band Some of
them have herring bone embroidery.
The fur of the bear, which two seasons
ago we walked upon, has now gone up
in price and estimation, and in the form
of an enormous long boa is hugging all
the pretty girls about their necks, or in
the huge muff shape is holding their
hands without squeezing them. If his
popularity continues, there will IN
doubtedly be q corner in bears.
The newest and handsomest made-up
wraps for little girls and girls generally
under sixteen are made with CANCEL"
sleeves, long and flowing. Some wraps
have detachable capes. New wraps are
seen in terra Gotta, with gilt braid and
with braiding in gold and black French
effects. The newmarket has been kept
from going out of style by these varia-
tons and embellishments.
In spite of all the assertions of fashion
reporters that long cloaks alone will be
worn by fashionable women, there are
unnumbered and innumerable short
wraps in velvet, bengaline, cloth broche
and plush seen along the fashionable
thoroughfares, and these are all in new
shapes, new colors, and made as dressy
as possible with embroideries and passe-
menteries of Jet, silk cord, metal, lace,
ribbon, fringCs and "motifs" or agraffes,
glittering with lain fringes.
Fine all-wool serges are much used.
They are durable and handsomely col
ored, and when trimmed with any of
the popular bra'ds or simply tucked and
finished with q deep hem make useful and
chic little gowns. Two good things about
white serge are that dampness does not
affect it and it can be laundried.
Scotch tweeds are also in demand for
little peoples winter suits, and are
warm and stylish-looking, and require
but little trimming. AS q rule, the
palmer they are the better they look.
A stylish winter gown for young
lady is made Of golden brown camel's
hair, with stripes in cashmere patterns,
in which scarlet, green, bronze and gold
are richly blended. The skirt is plain,
with most Of the fullness massad Mt the
back. The jacket corsago has Charles
X. revers collar spreading on each sile
of vest of col len brown cloth braided
in multi colo ed soutache, in which the
colors of the stripe a"e reproduced. The
sleeves of the camels hair fabric are
faced nearly to the elbow with the plain
cloth, this facing put on to resemble a
mousquetaire cuff. The braiding work
nearly covers this facing.

In the December issue of Scribner'S
Magazi1ae is "A Christmas Sermon by
Robert Louis Stevenson, in which he
expresses the following thought: ut
was the moral man, the Pharisee,
whom Christ could not away with. If
your morals make You dreary, depend
upon it they're wrong. [ do not say,
give them up, for they may be all you
have; but conceal them like a vice,
lest they spoil the lives of better and
happier people" What We want in
this world is not so much high grade
of morals as that active sympathy
which is willing and ready to extend a
helping hand to an erring brother or
sister AMI to help them on by wise
counsel. Pharisaism does infinitely
more harm than good. 1t is chilling
and repelling, 1t is the warm personal
sympathy, revivifying like the sun
shine, which accomplishes in the world
the genuine good.
