The Eddy ImpOstOrs.

That the fools are not all dead
yet, has been demonstrated lately IN
North Adams, Massachusetts,, by
Mr.. Mabbilt, local editor Of the North
Adams Transcript, who might, not
inaptly, be styled the Fool Killer. Mrs
Mary Eldy-Huntoon Zone Of the no
torious Eddy family, which We are
ashamed to say, is Vermont pro-
duction, )has been giving seancec there
aud deluding people, who ought to
know better but don't, into the belief
in the naturalization of spirits. Some
Of the people who had not become en-
tirely demented determined to expose
the fraud. They accordingly attended
one Of the seances. Many materializ
ed forms were family discernIble dur
ing the early part of the evening but
none were willing to leave the cabi-
net. In few moments however with
the shaking of a tambourine and a
shrill whoop, a fierce Sioux warrior
sprang from the cabDet aud COM
mrrced a vigorous war-dance before
the eyes of the startled audience.
With a leap that would have done
credit to panther, and put to blush
the best college gymnast. Mr.. Nab
bit sprang upon the bewilde ed saw.
age, clasped him around the waist,
and together they fell to the floor,
assisted somewhat by blow from
Webster Eddy, brother of the female
medium which fell full force upon
Mabbitt's shoulder. Before it could
be repeated, however the pugilistic
Eddy found himself fast in the clutches
of the ministry and the law, Rev. DR..
Osborn, pastor Of the Baptist church,
being on his right and lawyer A. G.
Potter on his lett. Meanwhile within
the cabinet Mabbitt and his Indian
were having it rough-and-tumble.
The medium kicked and thrashed and
scratched and called for revolver.
Hearing the noise OF the turmoil, two
officers, who had been stationed out
side to guard against contingencies Of
this nature, burst open the door, They
threw the light offs dark lantern upon
the scene, when presto what sight
Issuing from the door of the cabinet
was Mabbitt, bearing in his arms-not
the Indian chieftan, but the medium
Mrs. Huntoon, with her clothing tuck
ed carefully beneath her waist, Of
course the spirutaalists were indignant
but the fraud was too transparent yet
the woman had the cheek to say "It
is very plain the Indian spirit emanat.
ed from me, and of course when that
man frightened it, it naturally came
back into me. and in trying to catch the
spirit what ID more natural than that he
should catch me I" Mrs. Eddy-Hun-
toon threatenes to have Mabbitt ar
vested for an unprovoked assault, but
she will probably cool off and try
some other ace.-Montpelier Watch
man.
People who couscientiously believe
in Spiriiualsm, if they wish to pre-
serve respect for their faith, should
disown and publicly denounce such
wretched frauds, instead Of backing
them up through thick and thin, as
too many do.

PUNISHABLE WITH DEATH.

ARREST OF wEISER FOR BRUTALLY
AssAULTING A LITTLE ORPHAN
GIEL.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept, 18.-Joseph
Weiser, for whom the police authorities
have been searching for the past week
on q charge of brutally outraging an Or
phan girl Of thirteen years, who had
been employed in his family, was cap
tured to-day in Hartford county, brought
to the city and placed in Jail tonight to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
The punishment for such a crime is
death. Weiser is married man, thirty
five years of age, aud has five children.
He is said to be of dissipated habits, and
recently served term IN prison for an
attempted outrage on married woman.
About five weeks ago he obtained from
the orphan asylum connected with the
st. James Catholic Church the custody
Of Katie Lightner, who is half Or
phan.
COMMITTED WHILE DRUNK.
Recently, his wife having gone out of
the house, Weiser shortly afterward
called the girl to him and she followed
him into the yard, where he assaulted
her. The neighbors on either side, and
lady named Mrs. Davis who happened
to come in about the time, heard the
girls entreaties. Weiser was frightened
and desisted, running hurriedly into his
shop. He appeared to be slightly intoxi-
Gated. Mrs. Davis informed her hus-
band of what had occurred. Mr.. Davis
went TO the house and found Katie in
the WOOdshad in the rear Of the DremisAs
crying bitterly. Her appearance cor.
roborated the truth of her story and
medical examination confirmed it.
Weiser fed and was found disguised as
laborer working on a farm.
