The women uttered screams, and the men were
furious with rsge. The medium declared that she
was unconscious Of what had happened, and claimed
that she ignorant of the possession of the par

Mr. Brown, who was one of the committee, said
that this explanation too psychological, because

medium was offered Sl00 to produce any materiali-

evident sincerity aud unquestioned honesty of belief
that through the mediumship of Mrs Elsie Reyn-

daughter materiazed from spirit into natural form,
and that form had again been dematerialized while
in his very arms. With all the positiS eness Of con.

unhesiating belief in the genuineness Of the mani

not have been deceived. few days after, this

that Mr.. Parsons had been grossly deceived his erief

a SUIT AGAINST A MEDIUM.

Among other letters received was one stating that
an action was commenced by man named Miiitz
against Mrs. Reynolds for obtaining money under
false pretenses, by inducing false materializatons
q. b. Mllitz had been for some time attending the
seances of the woman. He at last doubted and at
given seance seized upon naturalization and
found that he had handful of gauze and fight on
hand, as some OF the henchmen Of the medium fell
upon him and beat him roundy and "fired him
into the street. He had one of his assaiants G. W
Lewis, of Oakland arrested, but the defendant
went into Court, pleaded guilty, was fined SO and

himself formerly aided her as a spirit. Mr. Smith
further stated that his wife frequently showed him
how she played spirits for Mrs Reynolds She
learned the ballot test as Mrs Reynolds gives it
how TO produce the Esprit raps " how to make
the spirit lights, initiate a childs voice, talk snd
sing through horn, etc, and his explanations of
these she told him were identical with what she
had told gentleman in San Francisco. Mrs. Smith
was with Mrs. Reynolds nearly all the time that she

Stories Of Fortune.

"Talk about tumbles in the price OF
OIL said a veteran operator on the
Bradford Petroleum Exchange, ''noth-
ing like the II of the winter Of 1850
has been known in the modern days
of the trade. That was the winter that
Jesse Heydrick put down the old harm
ers and Mechanics we'll, or rather the
company he formed put it down and
that was the first company formed to
develop the territory. The we'll came
in good for about three thousand bar
rels a day, and half Of it couldn't be
taken care of, but ran down the creek
in a regular. flood. Oil was oil then,
and was thirteen dollars q barrel.
Pittsburgh vas the only market. and
we had only n way to get oil there,
and that was by running it in barges
down the Allegheny River from Oil
City. Of course it was necessary to
have freshets to transport it in this way.
The winter that Heydrick struck his
well the river was frozen over, but he
was bound to get some oil to Pitts
burgh. He succeededin cutting a way
through, and ran ten t%lat-boats. He
sold all his oil for Sl3 a barrel.
The next day a thaw set in, and in two
days the river broke up. Then the
boats began to run, and in q short
time the market was overstocked, and
in less than a week oil was selling at
ninety cents a barrel.
"The early days of oil production
were attended by many curious Incl
dents. One of the queerrst was q
streak of luck q well-owner struck on
the creeki in 1868. He had drilled a we'll
down to the third sand, but found moth
ing but water, and three days continu-
Gus pumping failed to bring anything
else 10 the surface, SO he abandoned
the we'll in disgust. The next day a
neighbor of his, who was operating on
an adjoining lease, came over to see the
disguised Well-owner, and informed
him, with much excitement, that since
the pumping of water had ceased at his
we'll great trouble had resulted at the
other we'll, which had yielded thirty
barrels OF oil a day as long IS the water
was being pumped, but upon the stop
ping of the water pumping had filled up
with water and produced no more oil.
1.-The result vas that the man who
owned the producing well hiredthe less
fortunate operator to keep his pump
going. for which he paid him forty dol
lars a week. The producing well was
thus changed to its former condition,
and things worked satisfactorily for Sin
months. when suddenly n day the
we'll that had been yielding nothing but
water began pumping oil, and the one
that had been Welding oil became in
turn a water we'll. The changed situa-
ton resulted in a lawsuit, which was
won by the owner OF the we'll which at
first had yielded nothing but water. -
