The question uppermost In the minds
of the men who were being hustled
around the Opera House stage by Lula
Hurst Friday night, was--what is the ma
ture OF this power which by so little ap-
parent effort can render futile the exer.
tions Of Our utmost physical strength /?
The performer and those with her declare
themselves to be utterly In the dark re-
garding it. There was nothing
OF the trance manifestations
which generally accompany So
called spiritualistic phenomena, unless
the laughing glee Of Lula be akin
thereto there was, SO far as could be
seen, not even momentsry lapse from
perfect consciousness on her psrt even
when the strongest displays Of her power
were taking place. People who have
studied that class Of phenomena Of which
table tipping is the A. B. c. will. how
ever, find no contradictory argument in
this, as some reputed spiritualistic
media 60 through these exercises also
without any trance manifestations
Whether this power be identical with
animal magnetism and what is animal
magnetism are interesting questions in
psychology but we prefer to regard the
performance Of Lula Hurst as a more
than usually convincing demonstration
OF one of these forces, or one variety Of
this force surprising both to be tracsable
to the same cause, rather than an exp Isl,
ton Of any new and hitherto unknown
force. Its future development in her
person will prove q subject worthy the
close attention Of scientific observers.

night by the crew of the baque Lady
Eibank. They broke through the Roman
Catholic church OF st. Mary's in st Msry's
bay and demolished the furniture
and appointments Of the sanctuary,
destroyed the tabernacle, distracted the
ohalice, the cebarium and other sacred
vessels, smashed the oandelbra and
strewed the debris about the streets, and
in various ways desecrated the church
Five Of the perpetrators have been
arrested.

atruetion Of the vessel and her cargo. An

Wilmington. Thursday, July 8. 1884.

A Mexican dispatch ssys that the rail-
roids built by American capitalists in
that republic are to be 'fhandicapped''
by law requiring that all railroads in
that country be required to fence the
entire length q their lines on both sides,
the fences to be so constructed as to pre-
vent even goats getting on the track. II
10 estimated that compliance with this
law will cost the Mexican Central road
about VI, 0o0,OOO The tenor Of this d,s.
patch evinces a spirit Of surprise and
complaint, as though the require
ment were very unreasonable one.
We fail to see where the
unreasonableness comes In. AT least
one railroad in this State, tie Sussex
Midland, is required by an amendment
to Its charter to construct and maintain a
good fence along its line, and we can see
no reason why all railroads traversing an
agricultural region should not be COM
PEELED to do the same. The farmer
through whose land railroad passes for
half mile, taking strip containing
four acres, receives as compensation say
800 per acre, or 5000 in all. II
he wishes to pasture his stock
on both sides Of the road it will cost him
more than he gets for the land thus
taken to put mp good fence; in which
case he may be said to not only give
that land to the railroad company but
TO also pay the company for taking it.
La there any reason in this 2 Is it mo-,
far more reasonable that the corporation
which benefits by the use Of the
land should be at the cost Of
fencing the same in2 Were there
no other reason it seems to us that this
should be cogent one hut, when it ia
oonsidered that stray cow may cost the
lives ola dozen passengers, it seems to us
that public safety proelaims as loudly as
private rights that this Mexican law lie an
excellent one and one that commends
itself to the consideration Of all other
countries.

AT Mondays meeting Of Philadel-
phia's board of health objection was made
to the sale Of government property
adjoining the Lszaretto, on the ground
that 1t would probably be put to manu-
featuring uses and attract more
numerous population than was advisable
iu the vicinity Of the quarantine station.
This argument would appear to have
reached the limit of absurdity when
based on such grounds. By all means
let manufactures crowd out the station
and compel its removal to some point much
further down the river where its use will
be greatly increased. Chester has long
complained Of its location above her, and
It's removal to some point below the towns
and villages on the river shore would
seem by all odds much more practicable.
To be sure this would not suit the iunket-
ing that certain Philadelphia oficials
have found so convenient at the
Laaaretto in times past, and may per
haps have been resumed since tue
quietude following the mal.ordorous ex-
posures Of some years since, but for
practical application Of the purposes of
the station with much wider scope II
has much to commend it.

A PHILADELPHIA MURDAR.

PHILADELPHIA, June 80 Mary Kelly
aged 30 years, who is employed as a
laundress at No, 1903 North Second street
was shot aud killed abont IL Is this
afternoon by John Caldwell, IS years
old. Both the murderer and
his victim lived on the third floor Of a
house kept by John Donnelly, at 400
Henry street, near Eleventh and Lombard
streets. Caldwell has for several months
past been devoting most Of his time
to debauch, and Donnelly, his
wife and Mary Kelly took frequent
occasion to demonstrate with him. The
woman remained home to do some wash.
ing for herself and on going up the stairs
shortly after moor, saw Caldwell under the
influence Of liquor. She again upbraided
him, and he picked up rifle and fred AZ
her. The ball took effect In her abdomen
and she expired in about IL minutes
from her injuries.
Policemen Stewart and Esher Of the
Nineteenth district were summoned and
they found Caldwell in maudlin state
of intoxication, they asked him for the
weapon and he handed It to them saying:
"Here 1t is"
The prisoner was taken to the station
house at Eighth and Lombard streets and
fell on the boor from the effects Of the
liquor. He will be taken before the
coroner tomorrow.

DR.. Jackson Lemons little experiment,
wound up in the July CENTURY, was more con.
elusive than satisfactory. On the non-adapt-

Ohio, special says: The general GOAL
miners strike that has been inaugurated
through the Hooking valley threatens to
be attended by more serious consequences
than any similar movement that has
transpired since the development
OF the coal resources in this
section Of the state. Five thou
sand or more miners whom the
strike wholly throws out OF employment
have, during the spring and this much of
the summer, been working on but par
tisl time, and as very large portion Of
them have families dependent upon them,
the inauguration Of the strike tinds an
immense number destitute Of means for
Immediate support.
II Is evident that considerable alarm
exists on the part of those owning
interests In the several mining corpora
tions OF the valley. Already In a large
number Of instances the local representa-
tives Of the corporation have applied for
special police protection. Further de-
velopments Of the strike are waited

dents Of the valley.
