SpirituaIfstic Frauds-A Medium Who Was Specially Clever in Her Imposi.
 tions.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-A thorough ex- posture of fraudulent practice of medicine is published in the Chronicle this morning. About three years ago Mrs. Carrie Sawyer, 8 professional materiaIizing medium of this city, was detected and thoroughly exposed in fraudulent practices which resulted in her leaving San Francisco. Since then others of that class have grown bold, have imposed upon credulous persons to a greater extent than ever and complaints come from honest believers in spiritualism that their ranks are overrun with frauds. A woman calling her self Elsie Reynolds was recently arrested and held for trial for obtaining money under false pretences. At one of her matsrializing seances held August 8th last the complainant, G. 5. Militz, had his suspicious aroused. He determined to discover if there were frauds connected with the alleged naturalization of spirits and seizing one of the professed ghostly visitants had incontrovertibls evi- deOce that it was 8 dummy made up for the occasion. Mrs. Reynolds and others interfered forcibly, 50 he was not able to retain his hold of the dummy, but feeling that he and others had been grossly imposed upon he has brought 8 criminal action against Mrs. Reynolds and assured reporter that he has ample evidence to secure convie- tion. Among the many dupes of the woman is G. F. Parsons, formerly editor of the Sac- ramento Record-Union, now on the New York Tribune. Parsons 8 short time ago published in Philadelphia paper devoted to spiritualisua letter denouncing Mrs. Key holds accusers and championing her cause, alleging that he has repeatedly through her agency been enabled to see and converse with 8 beloved daughter who died about year ago. It is evident that Parsons and his wife were deceived, fer Miss Nellie Smith, a young woman, confesses that she personated the Parsons daughter several times for Mrs. Reynolds at the numerous seances which Parsons and his wife attended She had one blue dress fixed for the special purpose which she was told was the favorite color of Parsons daughter. Jason Smith a photographer in Oakland and the former husband of Nellie Smith, states that he was present at seance on O'Farrel street when Parsons and his wife were called up to the cabinet to kiss their daughter, who soon af- ter called him and he found he was kissing his Wife-Nellie.

Floating With the Tide-The Fate of a
 Beautiful Woman.
 PEORIA, Dec. 9.-The body of handsome woman was found floating in the river about three miles north of this city. She had abundant coal black hair, clear cut features and. pretty white teeth. She had on . por- ton of basque and an undergarment. Last night the body remained in the morgae un- identified. Yesterday 8 coroner's jury was summoned and the county physician made an examination of the remains He states that the body could not have been In the water more than forty eight hours. The body shows that the woman was either the victim of an abortion or miscarrsge and 1t had been of recent occurrence. This leaves little doubt that she was either thrown into the river by interested parties or was tho victim of suicide through reRnorse or disappointed love. The remarkable appearance of the woman would seem to indicate that she was one whose absence from any locality where she was known would be noticed. In life she must have been stately and handsome and in death her form resembles a piece of statuary She was perfectly formed in feature and limb and her teeth were un0ommonly even and pretty. The fact that she was clothed in 8 night dress would indicate that she had pre- pared for rest and perhaps was in slumber when aroused to meet her death.

FIRE RECORD.
A Sweeping Fire in Massachusettl

ASweepInG Fire in Massachusetts.
 ROCKFORD, Mass, Dec. 9.-The Annis- quam mills, the business backbone of the town, was burned this morning Loss $4OO, O0o, insurance $3OO,0OO. The mill vas of stone, built in 1S47 and enlarged in 1864. It was 45o feet long and contained about eighteen thousand spindles. The fire origi- mated in the engine room where repairs were being made. The mill was owned by Boston parties and manufactured corset jeans.
 The main belt connecting with the engine room was in need of repairs which could not be performed with the machinery in motion and workmen were detailed to do it early this morning. The room being dark they used gas with the burner at the end of 8 paper, making it more convenient to di- rect the light where needed. The great belt is always covered with more or less fluff or flying cotton which is highly infammable. This came in contact with the gas flame ard the fire was communi- csted to the spinning room. The men made every effort to quench it, but it spread with great rapidity and soon the whole room was in flames. John Haskill, the watchman, in trying to ring the bell was caught in the tow CT and badly burned about the face. He barely escaped being burned to death. The bell rope was burned of in his hands Oliver Beaisdell, the engineer employed at the mill, when the alarm was given went immediately to the engine room and endeavored to extinguish the fire by the aid of the largs fire pumps. The alarm to the fire department was given at abont 7 o'clock. The department, consisting of three hand tubs, promptly rallied, but with this apparatus the progress of the fire could not be stayed. Assistance had been sent for to Gloucester, where an alarm was sounded in response to which the hand engine Def- ance was first to start. In thirty minutes from the time of starting it arrived at the scene of the confagration and was instru- mental in preventing the flames from spread ing. At 8:45 an alarm was sounded in Sal em. Assistance was sent. Two hundred and fifty people are thrown out of employ ment. All classes will feel the effect.

 Claims for EmancipnteG Slaves No
 Chance TOT the Owners to Recover
 Value.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-It is stated at the Court of Claims that no suits have yet been filed by Texas parties to recover the value of slaves emanoipated during the late war. Chief Justice Drake seys if such suits are brought they will amount to nothing as such claims are barred by the statutes of limita ton. Section 1,O69, revised statutes, pro- vides that every claim against the United States cognizable by the Court of Claims shall be forever barred unless the petition setting forth statement thereof is filed in the court or transmitted to it by the secretary of the Senate or clerk of the House of Repre- sentatives as provided by law within six years after the claim first occurred. The claims in question occurred toward the close of the war aud are consequently outlawed by this statute. This removes all interest in the cases. No matter under what provisions of law Texas was admitted into the Union, nor what the constitution of that State is promi- nent lawyers say no claim for emancipated slaves can now be received for adjudication. These constitutional provisions, whatever they are, have no force or effect, and the rights of the State under them, whatever they may have been once, do not now exist.

O'DonnelI Ready to Dfe-Very Little
 Hot;e That His Sentence vFtLI De COfn-
 iaaHSed.
 LONDON, Dec. 9.-It is contemplated among the friends of O'Donnen to present memorial to the home secretary asking !nat his sentence be commuted. The grounds on which the plea would be based are that it was not established in the trial that the mur- der of Carey was rreHeditstsd. There is no truth in the report that Minister Lowell le making an effort to obtain a respite for O'Donnell. Mir. Lowell has received no in- struetions from the United States govern ment which, in his judgment, would justify him in interfering. It will be seen, there- fore, that the hope that communication will be granted must be extremely feeble. The gen. eral feeling is that 0'Donnell will suffer the penalty at the appointed time. It is very significant in this connection also that the present home secretary, ever since he entered upon his office, has shown an unvsrying predilection for executions. The deneanor of O'Donnell in his prison continues to be exemplary. When informed of the date of his execution he received the intelligence with the most complete compo- sure, and said to Father Fleming, who was with him, T am duite ready to meet my fate. have done my duty" AS he eannot read, his prayers are read to him daily. In his con- versation with the wardens he is self pos sessed and cheerful.
 Binns will officiate as his executioner. Since the bungling work done by that hang man at Liverpool the method of taking of criminals has receive much attention. Dr. Richardson states that Binns' performance of his duty was much more humane than Mar woods. The Liverpool cnlprit was asphyx- lated, and there is no teasoii to suppose that he experienced any suffering during his con- vulsions or while his pulse was still beating. Marwood, on the other hand, killed by a shock to the spinal cord below the ned-lla, and it is impossible to conceive of anything that could give more exquisite torture or that would produce more awful sensations in the victim.
 Mir. Grey, O'Donnells solicitor, has written an open letter to the jurors in the ODonnell case asking them to confde him means by which he can communicate directly with them. The solicitor states that he is denied access to the list of names of the gentlemen who composed the jury and the necessity that he should have them being urgent he appeals to the jurors through the papers as the only means possible of reach ing them.

Mary Anderson tn LOndOn-Immense Sue
 cess of Her ImpersOnatiOn of GaIatea nt
 the Lyceum.
 LONDON, Dec. 9.-An Mary Anderson's pre- vious successes were last night surpassed by her performance as Galatea, where her ease and grace were shown to special advantage by the classic severity of the Athenian cos tune. Her absolutely perfect interpretation of naive innocence fairly enraptured the fashionable audience that crowded the pit and gallery. When the bewitchingly beauti- full statue of Gslatea was unveiled the public seemed completely taken by surprise, and gazed few moments in silent admiration as if spellbound and then spontaneously burst into storm of applause. At the end of the first act the charming American actress wes called three times bsfore the curtain and showered with exquisite bouquets, several of which were trimmed with red, white and blue streamers.
 The play was mounted in the traditional artistic excellence of the Lyceum. Pygma- lions studio was ornsmented with an appro- priate profusion of ststuary and works of art of the highest morit. The last act, where Galatsa realizes that her love only can bring calamity on those on whom 1t was law ished, was greeted with shouts of approval The performance, in fact, was 8 succession of cameos of extraordinary beauty, of which Miss Anderson was the center. Miss Amy Rosslle, as Pygmalicn's wife, acted with great forcet md discrimination. The final verdict was most enthusiastically favorable. Fighting in the SOudan-EI Mahd1 Fol
 lowing Up His Victories.
 LONDON, Dec. 9.-News from the Soudan indicates increased ease of communication, the news reaching within week. Fresh at Jacks by section of the forces of Fl Mahdi on Suakim, the Egyptians base of supplies were made on November 26th and 30th and on both days were repulsed by the troops under command of Mahmoud Taher. The losses by the attacking army were heavy, but the position Of the town was regarded as dangerous and an aggressive movement was decided on. Ths commander on Decem- Der sent out force five hundred Soudanese and blacks with twenty horsemen and two hundred Bashi Bazouk cavalry. Mahmoud Taher remained to defend the town. They met 8 number of the enemy at Tam erich where battle fought disastrous to the Egyptians. The Bashi Bazouks acted in a most cowardly manner ana rouC AoAo"eo. Two Ci11csrs' fifteen horsemen and one hundred Sou danese and blocks had at the date of the de- spatch reached Suskim. They report that the enemy as well as themselves lost heavily and believe Osman, the close friend of Fl Mahdi, who was in command of the opposing forces, was killed. Strong fears are entertained that the garrisons at Toka and Slngat have been starved or have been brutally massacred. The latest official announcement is that five hundred men from the force of Baker Pasha have arrived at Suakim where endorsements have been apxiously awaited.
