valued at 81. Cnspin is crazy, and as the
necessary lunacy papers have been prop
erly signed, Sheriff Townsend is at loss
to know why the man is not sent to an
asylum, where he properly belongs. 1t is
with the greatest difficulty that the priso-
ner can be kept IN any sort of presenta-
BILE appearance. so degraded are his habits
of life, which is partially accounted for
from the fact that he is verltable mlser.
Crispin owns real estate at Moorestown
and has several thousand dollars deposit
ed with the Camden Safe Deposit Com
pany and when arrested SS4 were found
in his miserable cabin. Crisplns inter
ests are being looked after by Lawyer
Lewis Morris. During his two months
incarceration it has been necessary to
supply him with five new suits of clothes,
on account of the filthy condition of his
person, his standard of cleanliness being
on a par with the lower order of animals.
His condition is so disgusting and his ac-
tions so revolving that when enjoying the
freedom of the Jail yard tramps will not
associate with him, and when left alone
he will sort over the contents of the
swill barrel and eat it. The mans health
is fast failing, and Sheriff Townsend is of
the opinion that he will not live a month
longer if not sent to an asylum where he
can receive the attention provided for
such patients.

Cut Her Throat.

Charles Minchin was brought to jail
last Friday, charged with cutting the
throat of his wife, Margaret. The couple
live at Parry. Minchin's story is that he
and his wife, and man named Simpson
were all in Minchin's barn on Wednes
day. They had been drinking, and Simp
son leased the horse, to such an extent
that the animal turned and with its teeth
grabbed Mrs. Minchin by the throat, in
ficting severe injuries.
The men carried the wounded woman
to the house, and her husband put towels
and other bandages on her throat, and
attended to her himself till Thursday,
when he called DR.. Frances Janney, who
dressed the woman's wounds, and took
her to Cooper Hospital, Camden.
DIR. Janney heard the husbands story,
but at once decided that he was telling
an improbable tale, as the cuts on the
woman's throat give evidence of having
been inflicted by a sharp instrument.
On this opinion the husband was ar
rested and brought to jail The woman
is recovering.

Of ont Door Performances.
Saturday, June 30th will be day of ex
cursions as all the railroads entering
Philadelphia will offer extraordinary in
ducements to attend Philadelphia's high
ly successful open air entertainment,
1.-The Destruction of Herculaneum.n Half
rates and return trains al the close of the
performance should serve as the means to
attract crowds of pleasure seekers.
The Destruction of Herculaneum, now
being presented nightly at Broad and
Dauphin streets, Philadelphia, has created
a profound sensation. Its immensity,
brilliancy and variety must be seen to be
realized The particularly attractive feat
ure, the terrific eruption of Mt. Vesuvius,
is thriilingly grand. The great volumes
of fire and smoke, the flowing lava and
the heavy explosions that wreck the city
combine to make sight rarely witnessed.
The ballet is under the direction of Arnold
Kiralfy, with Carmenclta, the renowned
Spanish Daneuse. Gladlatorial contests,
races between chariots of fire and horses,
running contests and all yarities ofOlymp-
ian sports and pastimes are making decided
hits at each performance. The fireworks
display that follows the dramatic action
has been conceded to be the finest ever
given at any public or private exhibition,
and on a par with the celebrated pyro-
technical efforts given during the
Worlds Fair. Every known device in
ground aerial and acquatic fireworks are
made use of to make this important fact
or ofthe entertainment complete.
