AMUsEMENTs.

GARRIsoS's EXPOSE. A moderate sized
audience attended the Opera House last eve
mig to witness Mr. Garrison's expose of the
tricks of Spiritualism. The COMMITTEES chosen
by tho audience consisted of Governor Kin
kead, H. NJ. Yering.on, Judge Wright and
G. T. Laughten. La the first test Nr. Gatll-
son was tightly tied to post by the neck by
Mr.. L,ughton, the scene vas drawn oet're
him and in about three seconds he walked out
and shook hands with the Governor amid a
roand of applause. He exposed the trick by
simply cutting the rope with knife and sub
stituting another in its place. Ia showing
how a chid's haod could be made to
touch ones face in the dark when
both hands of the medium were held, he
illustrated the trick with the Governor. 1t
is done by slipping off the shoe and touching
the dupe's face wich the foot. which is covered
with sock reaching only to the instep. He
was tied and hand cuied by the committee IN
several different ways and freed himself in a
few seconds. He had no trouble in slipping
the manacles, which were furnished from the
Sheritfs office. All these tricks were quite
neatly done. He illustrated the ballot test
with Superintendent Yerington at table by
simply substituting a duplicate ballot while
the attention of his sitter attracted the
real ballot was read under the edge of the
table. This trick afforded considerable amuse
ment to the audience He produced three
hands above the screen by means of a stuffed
glove held in the mouth forming the odd
hand. He blew the spirit horn through his
nose when his mouth was filed with wine,
amid general roar of laughter. The sealed
cabinet doors were shown to be simple
tricks His best trick was In causing
writing to appear on the inside OF
double slate which had been sponged off by
the committee He showed how the writing
which had been done with a steel pointed
instrument, disappears with the moisture
from the sponge bat comes out like pencil
lines when the slate is dry. Causing slate
pencil to move over a slate of its own accord
is done by first grinding the slate as thin as
paper; a pencil is next reduced to powder and
gum tragacanth and iron filings mixed with it
moulded into the shape of pencil The
writing is then done underneath with mag
net which guides the magnetized pencil above
the slate causing it to move seemingly as if ey
an INVISIBLE hand. There was no gas in the
house, locomotive headlights being substltu
ted.

Yesterday that he left the engine because he
had been notified to do so, by Fitzgerald, the

to knew what official position Fitzgerald holds

able to dictate to the railroad company or any
Of it's employees. The matter has been kept
very quiet, and although it is said to have
happened in Virginia City, none of the Com

SPIRI-UALIsM DISCUssBS.-The advent OF
Mr.. Garrison, the spiritualistic exposer, in
Carson has given rise to numerous discussions
between The believers in spiritualism and the
skeptics At almost any hour of the day
groups of nen could be seen on the street cor
ners and in the saloons engaged in wordy dis
cussions on spiritualism.
SAMPLE SCENE.
Spiritualist-This man Garrison is hum
bug. He can't duplicate a single trick Of
SHADES.
Skeptic-( Shaking his finger under believers
nose) He can just do any d. trick that
Slide or any other man ever put up for love
or money.
Spirituais,-T bet thousand dollars that
he can't make pencil get up on a slate and
write in broad daylight.
Skeptic-I'll bet two thousand dollars and
have the coin ready in ten minutes that Slade
can't make slate and pencl do that if l far
nish the slate aud pencil.
Spirit aalist-You are the most blasted luna
tic ever saw.
skeptic-You've gone daft on this fosl
business.
At this point they make bet of S., 900 that
Garrison can't make spirit hand play over
a mans face in the dark, when each happens
t o feel in his pocket and discover that he only
has two dollars. The enc who makes the dis
cove-y FIRST invites the other one to drink,
aud the subject is changed to the question of
appointing delegates to the National Conven-
ton.

W1.HElNJ Henry Wolfsohn, agent for
Wihelmj, was in the city yesterday, and as
he walked along with the great artist swing
ing carelessly in his hand he attracted univer-
sal a! ;ention. He brought the j along to show
that he was the genuine agent and NO mis-
take. Wilhelmj will appear at the Opera
House on March LIST for one night only. When
this great artist opened at Steinwey Hall in
New York he received the following from
the Tribune: "No such scene as that of last
night has been witnessed in Steinway Hall
since Rubinstein stormsd the town, six years
ago. Kven that memorable triumph has been
surpassed by the overwhelming success OF
Wilhelmi The great violiaist has eaptcrsd
US all. He has dazzled us by his brilliant and
perfect technic ne; he has excited us by his
fiery spirit; he has awsd US by an indescrlba-
bly, serene sense of force; he has seized upon
our sympathies; aud so he has won, by this
series of victories over the iatellsct and the
Affections a most absolute mastery of his au
dience. We have never seen an artist take
such complete and sudden possession of his
public. After the first minute the house
seemed to be under the spell Of some mag
nstic power. 1t hung upon every motion OF
his magic hand; it was gay or pensive at his
bidding, and at the end of the first of his Sc
lections, the applause amounted to an 1proar.
GEORGE W ASH NG1oN.-To-day is Washing
toa's birthday There have been no arrange
ments made for celebrating the anniversary in
Carson except that the State officers announce
that as this legal holiday falls on Sunday they
will celebrate on Monday and no business
will be transacted in any of the Departments
on tomorrow. Washington was the Father
of his Country, and that's the only thing that
he ever was the father of. He was remark
ably truthful man and the story of his wood
chopping adventure with the old man will al
ways find welcome spot in the legends OF the
American people. He was FIRST ia both war
and peace and held strong hand In hearts
His csuntrymen always considered him the
biggest man in America, yet somehow or other
they never gave him monument and prob
ably never will. This is not from the fact that
he is not beloved, but because the people are
afraid that some contractor will get chance
to swindle them out of two aud half million
dollars; hence their backwardness i'll subscrib-
ing. There certainly should be some salutes
fred in honor of the people being able to
stand OF the jebbery Of the contractors as long
as they have.

A FATAL SNOW SLIDK.
,urrr nxS BURIED IN THIRTY FEET OF SNOW
SEVERAL NARROW EsCAPRs-THE BODIES
NOT RECOVERED.

NOT RECOVERED.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning dread
full accident occurred just on the other side of
Mills Station in Marlette's canyon in the shape
of a snow slide, which killed three men.
SURPRISED IN THE CANYON
Eight men in the employ of Marlette 4 Co.
were crossing the canyon going to their work,
when they suddenly became aware that an
immense body of snow was coming down the
canyon at a speed which prevented any pos
sibility of escaped. The canyon is very mar
row and the sides steep. John TAFT, William
McFal, John Burney, S. Kennedy and A.
McLain we're nearest the head of the canyon
and the three others were about twenty yards
below. These three nen made rush fo- the
sides OF the canyon and succeeded in getting
above the level of the avail nche.
The other men made similar rush for
higher ground but were too late, and the mass
of snow, tumbing down the canyon like a
mountain torrent, overwhelmed them IN an
Instant Those who were above the sweep OF
the slide saw their comrades carried past Them
waving their hands above the snow like
drowning men struggling in the breakers
The slide went fifty yards past the point
which the three men sought for safety and
was then choked up in the canyon.
TATs's NARROW ESCAPE.
John Tate on seeing the Snow but few
yards away, got on the lea side OF tall
stamp and was not taken along with the rest.
After the slide subsidized he crawled ont unin
iured, leaving the other three men IN the
snow.
NJ FALL SAVED.
McFall next got his head above the snow
and called for help. His somrads fastened TO
dig him out He was pressed up against
stump with his thigh dislocated When taken
from the snow he was in great agony, and his
friends carried him on litter to the station,
from whence he was brought to this city, and
is now at the Arlington House. His thigh
was also considerably lacerated from contact
with the Jagged edges of the stump, but he
is now quite comfortable and doing we'll.
THE THREE BUEisD MEN.
Mr.. MeCray contractor for Marlstte & Com
pany, Immediately repaired to the spot with
fifty men and began shovelng away the snow.
They found the snow about thirty feet deep.
Very few logs and boulders came down with
he slide ; it was all pure snow. At clock
in the afternoon they had not succeeded in
getting to the ven, who are believed to be
dead almost beyond doubt. The snow broke
away from tins mountain for distance of
about a mile and half along its sides, and
the width of the space cleaned was about
quarter OF mile.
THE MEN Still UNDER Tai Snow
At 10 o'clock last evening the APPEAL re-
csived dispatch from Mills Station say az
that the mems hats had been found, but as
vet there were no sicns of the bodies. All
hope of finding them alive has been abandon
ed Everything is being done to clear away
the snow.

Panic at Hyde Park.

SCRANTON, May l9.-The residents q
Hyde Park, this city, are in an intense
state Of apprehension as 10 the safety OF
their property. Most of that section Is COM
pletely undermined by coal mines, and indi-
cations of danger from subterranean convul-
sions have been experienced at various pc
riods. During last night and this morning
number of line properties along Scranton
and jackson avenues were badly shattered
and the havoc extends for distance of near
ly half mile. The cause OF the shock pro-
ceeds from the Oxford mine which was aban-
doned some years ago. Within ten years past
many cave-ins have occurred in the vicinity
where last-nights catastrophe took place.
The scene was visited by hundreds to-day
and the cavern has caused fear and terror
among the property holders. Three fine
stores, owned respectfully by Michael Too
bill, John o Hare, Thomas McNicholas and
Mrs. Gallagher, were badly shaken, and
workmen placed huge props against the
walls to prevent the buildings from falling
ilto the street. A planning mill and the adj
jacent buildings, owned by Joseph Ansley,
were twisted out of proportion. and houses
belonging to John Walsh and man named
Stell have been rendered unfit for occupan-
cy. The track of the Lackawanna and
Bloomsburg railroad has sunk at the Scran-
ton avenue crossing, and much inconven-
ience will doubtless result. Large gaps have
opened in the street, and wagons are in dan
ger of tumbling in The water in the wells
and cisterns has disappeared AT least ff.
teen well cultivated gardens are cut up with
fissures 1t is feared that greatest damage
will ensue, and many residents In the en-
dappered districts are hmriedly preparing
10 seek more comfortable quarters.

Is the Amending Power Of the Constitution
Subject to Amendment.


If we turn to the original Constitution,
we fad that after providing for a mode in
which it could be amended, it laid this i'm
portant restriction upon the amending pow
er that no State without its consent shall
be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Sen
ate. Its equal suffrage in the Senate meant
under another provision, that each State
shall have two Senators. The amending
power was vested in three-fourths of :the
States, but the equal suffrage Of the States
in the Senate was forever excepted out Of
that power. In like manner, to every State
was given inthe Electoral College, by which
its vote for President of the United States
was to be cast, a number of electors made
up of the same number as it was entitled to
haye of Senators added to the number of it.
Representatives in the lower house of Con.
gress. Notwithstanding the restriction
which the Constitution lays upon the amend
ing power, is that power itself capable OF
being so amended as to do away with thi.
restriction, and by vote of three-fourths o
the States, introduce, through the amending
process, a different mode of representation
in the Senate and in the Electoral Collegesi
presume that most persons would be star
tied by this inquiry. But it is an inquiry
that goes 10 a deep question; Are there any
fundamental rights and powers of the people
of every State which are so fixed and i'm.
mutable that they are beyond the reach OF
the will Of three e-fourths of tie States? 1t is
not enough, with respect even to this mat
ter of equal suffrage in the Senate, to point
to the special restriction laid upon the
amending power. That power either is or is
not capable of being changed by three
fourths vote of the States. If it is capable
of being changed. the restriction may be
taken away. If it is not capable of being
changed, the restriction will remain. But
there are other important rights that may be
affected by the amending process. Can
three -fourths of the Staets so amend the
Constitution as to make the President Exec
utive for life, and make his eldest son his
successor? In other words, have the people
of every State an unalterable, fixed, and
vested constitutional right to have the Ex-
ecutive Office filled and occupied for a fixed
term of years, and an equally fixed, vested
and unalterable fixed constitutional right to
have the President appointed by electors
to be chosen in each State as its Legislature
may direct? And are there any other rights
of the States or their people which are no,
subject to the amending power of three.
fourtbs of the States? Whether the amend
ing power is itself capable of being enlarged
Is aquestion very important to be considered
when we are considering the strength and
stability of the Constitution; for it is an
unlimited power, the system of the Consti
tuition may be converted into almost any.
