FLESH AND BLOOD.

AT the request Of Dr. Child and Of Mrs.
Holmes, she repeatedly showed her en-
tire arm, bare to the shoulder, putting it
entirely out Of the window. An invol-
untaTy murmer of admiration always
greeted this exhibition; for the arm was
perfect model for sculptor cast in one
of nature finest moulds, and gracefully
rounded, dazzling white, but yet of the
whiteness Of flesh, not Of marble. AT the
doctors request she aherward allowed
Sever Il Of us to go up to the window and

palm up, on the lower edge Of the win

should here observe that Mr.. Holiness
the medium, is tall and slender man
with long and masculine hand and
fingers. At other sittingS she allowed
both of her arms and also the curls Of
her hair to be examined, and she is said
to have received ard absorbed in some
mysterious way gifts of fans, flowers, and
fruit. At one time she permitted her
tongue to be Inspected. Several pieces
other conversation are related by Cen
eral Eppitt, and, among other things,
she stated that she remembered seeing
the old St. Pauls church burned in Lon

President of the United States was pres

George w, Childs, and on this occasion
Mr.. Wilson and Katie shook hands, and
she permitted second inspection of her
tongue. AT the close of his article Gen

The text OF the entire testimony or Richard B.
Irwin before the sub committee OF the Ways and
Means Committee, In the investigation OF the Pa.
cine Mail scandal up to the time OF hls refusal to
answer certain question, Is given below. The
matter has now new significance In view of the
conduct or this principal witness. In conversa.
tion tonight a prominent member OF the Ways
and Means Committee declared that 1t was now
apparent that Irwin had studiously deceived the
subcommittee by an appearance OF candor and
by framing his answers so rs not only to lead
them to suppose that he would reply to all fur.
ther inquiries, but also that he was ully author.
lied oy the directors OF the company to expend
INN ense sums OF money to secure the increased
subsidy. The member said tnts I'M presslon had been
artiuy produced but was wholly contradicted
BY the testimony, subsequently given before the
committee showing that the resolution authoriz.
Ing lrwln's employment was passed by the Execu.
tive Committee ana ratified by the Board OF
Directors only upon repeated assurances OF Pres.
dent Stockwe That 1t contemplated an expendi-
ture not 10 exceed $4,000 and to be only Tor
counsel ices and other legitimate expenses, such
rs entertainments, &c. 1t IS ascertained tonight
an agent OF the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
and tnat on Friday night he was closeted, until q
very late hour, with another representative OF
parties known to be bitterly inlmcal to the present
management Of the Pacific Mail Company. These
interviews are alleged to be very significant In
view OF his refusal TO answer iurther questions
put by the subcommittee on Saturday and his con-
tinued refusal to the Iull committee to-day.
