Chinese Spiri,ua,isn,.

The spirits OF the unseen universe are directly
invoked by the Chinese chiefly in cases or mi.
ness. In matters which involve merely pecuni
airy interests. such means as planchette and
various other Indirect ways Of consulting the
oracle are preferred, being at once simpler and
less costly TO the inquirer. A man who wishes
10 learn the probable result OF an enterprise he
mas In view, will drop into some roadside TEN
pie and will lay small fee upon the altar. The
attendant priest lights fresh candle or a new
stick OF incense, and the suppliant, after max
ing the usual series OF prOStrationS, reverently
takes with both hands kidney shaped piece OF
WOOD which has been split into two halves. SO
That each half shall have one fiat and one
convex side. These are raised above the head
and dropped to the ground before the
altar; and from the Combination which
results, namely, ~ two convexes ~ two
mats, or (3) fiat and convex, propItious
or unpropit10us answer is deduced, being

LYNNS MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-No arrests
have yet been made by officers engaged In the
Lynn trunk mystery case. They say, however.
they anticipate information which will throw
much light On the matter. The officers specially
engaged on the work or tracing Miss Ciark's
movements since the time OF her disappearance
from her friends report nothing for the public
put they are very busy, and IL Is believed that
they have made some progress. The feeling
against Mr.. Adams, In whose household the girl
lived, Is growing stronger, but ii appears TO be
built On no substantial foundation whatever
He finds among his neighbOrs sturdy defenders
and much sympathy. The police have no charges
Whatever to make against him. Further In
quir1eS result In strengthening his reputation
as an upright citizen. The theory of some OF
the officers Is that seduction was ACCOMPLISHED
by person of supposed good character; that
the result caused dread OF exposure which
would ruin at least two families. and that 40
operation was decided upon to conceal the EVIL
dence OF crime, neither the sedueer nor the vic
tim thinking that 1t would prove otherwise
than successful These Officers do not believe
that the Se0ucer was cogniZant OF the death
until after IL had occurred, and perhaps not
even until the body had been disposed of. 1t
was for the mutual interest OF the operator
with state prison staring him In the face and
the seducer that the body should be put out OF
sight, and 1t Is not unlikely that this act was
committed at the instance Of the operator
alone. Some or the detectives at work at the
Lynn end still maintain that the Clark girl rs
not the victim, but the evidence is dire city
against them.

A KENTUCKY SPORTSMAN IN TRoUBLR.-Gen-
eral Abe Buford, who by this time should have
become accustomed to misfortune, for it has
logged his footsteps continuously for some
years, is now In deep trouble, and one that
will excite the sympathy OF his friends OF the
tuII an over the country. Closely following
the death OF his beloved wife, the childesS
ana widowed old man was forced TO a sale
OF al! his property Of every sort, including
his much loved and highly priced race
horses. The sale Will come off this month.
But while that is loss the following is an un-
merited disgrace:-Yesterday morning in Yer.
sailles, General Buford was committed to Iail
py order OF court for falling to pay over certain
moneys and property over which the general
says he has no control, the property having
been levied upon and seized by the sheriff
Immediately after the death OF his wife
and is now, including all his property
exempted by law, In the hands of the
Sheriff. The order was issued by Judge Hunt
upon Judgment in favor Of Wakefield & Buck
ley, OF Frankfort. The General and his friends
were not only surprised but shocked at the pro-
ceeding. Great sympathy exists in the COM
munlty for the General In this his hour of trou-
bic, and he has no lack OF friends ready and
willing to assist him.-(7er. Special to Gin. Gag.
