nYsrERIeus MANIFESTATIONS


The MoComaa Mhnalon over the RIVER
Few Years ago.
MONTREAL, October 6.-Some extraor-
dinary manifestations have taken place in
daylight IN q hotelat Hudson, village
on the Ottawa river, about forty miles
from this city. They were first noticed
about two weeks since, when the beds in
the unused rooms Of the hotel were
thrown about, and windows and doors
were opened by some unseen agency. In
one case woman while In the act Of cut
ting bread for dinner left some oft on a
table when II was dashed into clothes
basketin On adjoining room. On another
day the stables were found on FIRE, but
the flames promptly extinguishea. The
fire broke out again, and was q second
time got out. The following day the eli.
max arrived, as the stables were burned
TO the ground. Afterthe fire the parish
priest was sent for to exercise the evil
spirits. he performed Q religious cere.
mopy with that end in view. It had no
effect, however, except when religious
actions were proceeding, for as soon O.
the priest left the bottles were dancing
around OF their own accord, and yester.
day another priest from Okla and some
hundreds Of persons visited the scene, but
were unable TO account for the influence
at work In the house. Hyh

ported In all parts OF the State. The issue
is between Colquitt and Norwood, both
Democrats, for Governor. Colquitt was
presented by q majority Of the Conyen-
ton, but could not secure the necessary
two.thirds to nominate. Norwood was

position to Colquitt. The contest Is pretty
even, with the balance Of power in the

be going strongest for Colquitt, who viii
probably be elected.

Richmond county will be over 1000. His
majority in the State will be fully 5000.

sidering the effect which Republican sue
cess in the October States will have on the
November election in other States. the
present mixed condition Of affairs in Yir.
gininia is full OF promise to the Republi.
cans. The differences between the two
wings Of the Democracy in that State are
daily growing greater, and the situation
becoming more complicated, so much 80
that the Republicans Of the Old Dominion,
who up to the present have been in an un.
organized condition, are plucking up
courage and preparing to make the fight,
or at least be in position to take advantage
of an emergency. Some OF them had in.
diyidually allied themselves with the Read.
iuster wing Of the Democracy, but
these are now Withdrawing, and
party lines will once more be re.
placed. In agein organizing, the Repub.
lican party is receiving the countenance
ot Chairman Jewell and the National Com.
mittee, and the former has promised to
aid them in the fight. The impression
seems to be gaining ground that in the
event Of Republican success in Ohio and
Indiana, Virginia can be taken out Of the
line OF the solid South, and her eleven
electoral votes be cast for Garfield. The
Richmond Di,patch, organ Of the regular
Democracy, in an editorial to-day on the
situation, practically admits this. It takes
the ground that Democratic success in
Ohio and an increase in the Democratic
majority in Indiana, would in effect decide
the election OF Hancock, and likewise,
that Republican majorites in both States
would settle beyond question the election
Of Garfield. In the latter contingency 1t
feels that the effect on the Republican
party.in Virginia would be such that all
Republicans. black and white, would
rally to the support Of the Garfield and
Arthur ticket, and adds that they would
stand very good chance OF success. In
the event Of Republican success In Ohio
and Indiana it 1t Is felt that the National
Committee would pay the poll taxes Of
the negro voters In Virginia, and this
would mean Republican victory in that
State.
