A mysterious stranger was IN Franklin this
week. No one found out his name, or resi-
denGe, or destination, He was a man who
could keep his own counsel Franklinites
could not decide whether it was Black
Bart, or " Yankee Charlie, or a Frisco de-
tective, or simply a tramp.
Last Friday evening several of the young
folks in the neighborhood went down to the
hop house, near Carroll SchO0l-house, TO at
tend dance given by the proprietor. twas
altogether delightful affair. A number of
lanterns shed a subdued light over the throng
of well. dressed people; the Gait band dis
coursed charming music; everything con-
spired to make the occasion enjoyable. AT
II o'clock raid was made upon the baskets
of goodies brought by the company. Roast
chicken, duck, goose, and pies, cakes, hot
coffee, all disappeared with magical rspidity.
After supper dancing was re.umed. until
about o'clock. There were present several
gentlemen from neighboring town, one of
whom lost q dancing shoe under very peculiar
and mysterious circumstances, aud two of
whom showed wounds received in a contest
with wire fence on the way home. To
quote the words of one of them, 1.-THE fog
was so thick that you could slice it with your
knife" Several parties were lost on the way
home, but all recovered sufficiently to attend
the bon. bon parry at Elk Grove on Saturday
evening. Y

THE DECENTRALIZATION DEBATE.

The gentleman who, it has been charged,
was deceived in Undertaking. seances held
by Elsie CrindIe- Reynolds at San Fran
cisco, responds to the letter of Junius by
reiteration of his belief that he was not i'm
posed upon. 1t will be apparent by the
reading that the chief basis for this adher
ence is the evidence of his own senses and
of those accompanying him, and his pro-
found conviction that deceit was impossi-
BILE. This is dogmatic mode of reason
ing that simply closes the door to investi
CATION. If his testimony that deceit was
impossible, based on his own estimate of
the sufficiency of evidence, and as to what
is evidence, is to be the last resort, then
exposure is impossible. 1t will not do to
charge witness with falsity, it must be
proven. Yet our friend permits himself,
we submit, to beg TIE question in this false
syllogism. A witness, it is said, will con-
TESS that she did deceive. But one who
would so deceive is unworthy of belief,
therefore the confession goes for nothing,
and the testimony is unworthy to be be-
lieved" Obviously this is false reasoning.
1t will not stand the test of the rules of
evidence settled under the law. a con-
fession will be received for what it is
worth, and must be reckoned verify if sub.
stantiated in the mouths of other witnesses
or by physical facts. In this case, suppose
it is shown, as is testified to by several
witnesses, that the medium did deceive
many people at many different
times suppose several of those
employed by the medium so testify sup
pose the proof is that the medium con-
fessed in several cases to practices of de-
ceit, will any one say that in any one of
the single cases a witness cOnfessing is to
be ignored because in that particular case,
of necessity, there could not be other wit
nesses The fact of the several deceits,
and the several false presentations reason

burden of impeachment by preponderating
testimony on the other side, But there is
this much of admission to be granted, and
that is the claim that positive judgment
should not be pronounced until the wit
nesses are brought face to face with the
accused. But suppose this shall never be
done, it remains that one asserts he was
not deceived that others assert he was
deceived, and name the parties who aided
in the deception. The result is such state
OF doubt that, in view of the fact that the
what we term the supernatural is the i'm
probable, and not in accord with known
natural laws, the general opinion will be in
favor of the theory of imposition by the
so.called medium, and not in favor of the
improbable. And this, in the absence of
stronger proof to the contrary than has yet
been adduced, must be the judgment of
reason.

Aside from these personal conflicts, there
has been some latent discomfort. The salary
OF the Grand Secretary is said to be too
nigh; the expenses Of the Order have in
creased enormously of late. The Secretary,
II appears, gets 81, 400 per annum, and the
same officer being at the same time head of
the Order, gets other sums, thus aggregating
salary equal to that paid the Governor of
ONO, and largely in excess of the salary paid
toe Controller Of this State. This salary has
strong supporters In the Order. 1t has for
years been the complaint of a small faction
OF the Order that the Grand Lodge collects too
much revenue-the annual recsipts reaching
some years $4,000. The party of high dues
answer that it is well expended. But these
things play less conspicuous part in the
rupture now threatening than the personal

BILLIARDS..

CHICAGO, Oct. PA game of cuSh-
ion carom billiards for the champion
ship and $500 a side, was played last
night at Central Music Hall, between
VIM. Sexton and Geo. r. Slosson, $50
persons being in attendance. Mr..
Haunahan of, Chicago, Was the referee.
The game for the greater part was
slow and tedious, Sloss0n taking the
lead at starting and keeping it to the
end. In the 139th inning Sexton, who
had gradually narrowed the gap of 10l
points, put in a plucky run of 30 and
was then within reaching distance.
SlossOn was visibly unnerved by the
unexpected danger of losing when
victory seemed secure aud Sexton got
another chance, but when he had made
points he diSlodged his cue tip and
had to take another. This circumstance
depressed him greatly and ne ended d t
- run which promised to give him
the game. SosSou then took courage
and in the Hist inning made two
points, enough TO give him the cushion
carom championship

ST.. LOUIS, Oct 2j.-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Walnutridge, Ark,
says an attempt was made to rob the
North bound express train on the Iron
Mountain Railroad last night about
10 O'Clock between Oxen and Delap-
laine, fifteen miles north of this place.
Fortunately the express train was late
and the local freight train was running
on time Of express. The train was
signaled by three lanterns and when it
stopped was boarded by party Of six
men, all heavily armed. After few
questions they found they had stopped
the wrong train and passed into the
woods with many curses but without
molesting anybody. The Conductor
of the local train telegraphed TO road
master Griffin, Of this place, who sum
moned pOssee of citizens headed by
JnO. Rhea and accompanied by United
States Marshei .. X. Wheeler. The
possee went north on the express eager
for fight with the robbers but
no further attempt was made to rob
the train. The robbers Were all large
men from 30 to 40 years old and wore
heavy Overcoats and carried lanterns.
They were apparently well organized
and deemed to know their business.
Every effort is being made to capture
them.
