Mr.. Wells presided and opened the
meeting. tnrning the debat" into a
religions channel at the start. Rev,
Adam St"ugle was the first speaker.
He read for the foundation uf his re-
marks the parabl" Of the man who fell
amongst thieves. and the good Samari-
tan. His fifteen minutes speech was de-
voted 10 the iuiquity of licensing the
traffic. He thought that as the people
who iourncycd from Jerusalem Ia .Irri-
ChQ wcrc troubled witlthirvrS and were
often robbed and murdered. in accord
anCe with the modern custom of rrgIIla-
ting evils, licenses should have lpen
granted 10 a few thieves. So that there
would not b" 50 many tointrSt the coun-
try. He had no doubt few robbers
would have been willing 10 pay good
round license fee for the privilege uf do-
ing all III" rOhhng and If those robbers
lived at the present there would h II"
truuhl. getting dozen or two reputable
citizens "a give certificates ot good char
actcr 10 the robbers who might want H.
crnScS, Mr. Stcuglc'S remarks though
in a humorous strain Were listened Ia
with much interest.
Professor Reynolds WAS the next
speaker. He regretted that people
were 50 easily swcrycd hy the opinions
of others, hcnc" the influence such men
as Senator Bayard had over his t"l.
lowers. He (Ecynoldsl had II mind Of
his own and neither The arguments nor
The sophistri"S Of such men could iuttu-
enc" him. EvcryhLy should thluk tor
himSclt-.hould know what right and
act accordingly E"I. Mr.. l'armalc" of
the SwrdenbOrgian Church made the
closing address. He is q very fluent
speaker and al times eloquent, He
favored appealing to reason and ration
aIitN, "a convince man OF error before
he can reform.
Prohibitory laws would prevent
wrong and protect society. hut thry
would never create a reformation. That

A French spiritualist. Mile. VII
nolas, was prosecuted for obtaining
a number of railway bonds of con-
siderable value from a. M. Harpe.
Mile. Vinolas went considerably
beyond the stock business, such as
calling up from the vastly deep cell
ebrated characters, such as Napo.
leon, Meyerbeer, aud Troppman.
for she bad persuaded the old gen.
tleman that he had passed through
no less than th!rty.seven success
sive Incarnations before he became
NJ. Harpe, and that, In point of
fact, Ia the thirteenth metemp-
syohosIs, which happened in l704,
he had contracted matrim Ony with
Mile. VinOlas herself. It Is clear
that under these circumstances the
lady had perfect right to the rail-
way bonds or any other property
upon which she could lay hands;
sut the executors OF M. Harpe (he
having gone through the last and
final metempsychosis) differed
from her view of the case, and went
so far as to accuse her of robbery.
The Court, however, gave verdict
In her favor, 60 that spiritualism
may expect good times In Paris for
the future.

There are yet eight miles of road to

intention to have the road com.
pleted to the San Francisco Noun
tains by next January. The route
has been surveyed and adopted by
the company as far west as the
Colorado river, and the crossing
will be at the Needles or In the i'm.
