A BASE FRAUD.
A Spiritualistic Medium Exposed
and Coat of Tar and Feathers
Suggested.

A Spirltualistic Medium Exposed
and a Coat of Tar and Feathers
Suggested.
STRAWBERRY POINT, Nov. 30-C.
E. Wyman, spiritualistic medium,
has been holding seances at the
residence of W. B, Field for couple
of weeks past, the attendance being
large each evening, the medium not
forgetting to collect one dime from
each person in attendance. Quite
number of citizens have been worked
up to high pitch. several being on
the verge of insanity over the adroit
manner he brought up so.called
spirits of their departed friends.
Several skeptical young men attended
the seance Saturday night, with the
determination of exposing what they
considered a palpable fraud. Ac-
cordingly one of them managed to
secure seat near the cabinet from
which the spirits materiliZed and the
clothing of the medium was sewed
securely to the chair in the cabinet.
The circle formed and the lights were
turned down. Soon as the spirit of the
father of one of the company was
materialized and reached out to shake
hands with his son, when the young
man near the cabinet grappled the
messenger from the other world and
threw him to the floor. The believers
Immediately hurled themselves upon
the daring man, upon which the other
skeptic5 took hand in the affair, and
for awhile pandemoniam reigned, with
the spirit believers and unbelievers
rolling on the floor Of the dimly light
ed room. The lights were at length
turned up, when, to the amazement of
the believing circle, the materialized
spirit proved to be the medium in an
exceedingly airy attire; the white
clothing out Of which he had
stepped remained sewed to the chair.
The indignation was great among
Che spiritualsts as well as others, and
tar and feathers were strongly talked
of for time, but finally cooler judg-
ment prevented and warrants were
sworn out for Wyman's arrest for
obtaining money under false pret9nces.
A hearing was had before Justice
Baird. Wyman came up this after
noon, plead guilty, and in default
of bail, was remanded to the county
Jail to await the action of the grand
jury. Wyman is one of the most no.
ted mediums in the west. being chief
medium at the recent Iowa spiritualial
camp meeting at Clinton, and coming
to this place from Evansport, Chicago,
where he has been holdiug succeasful

A Fierce Fight Between the Prohl

A Fierce Fight Between the Prohl-

lists in Jackson.
Special to Commercial Herald.
JACKSON, Nov. 30-A few days since
IA list Of names, styled "The Black
List" appeared on the streets contain
the names of citizens, who singed the
Prohibition petition and of those WHO
refuse to sign whisky petitions. This
list was freely circulated by the Pro-
hibitions, who had succeeded in get
ting hold of the original lists. which
was intended to be kept secret and for
the use only of saloonmen as boycott
ting scheme. Several of the prominent
saloon men have all along denied all
knowledge of this list and now twelve
issue a circular to the public, in which
they repudiate the black list and state
that they believe every man should be
accorded the right to sign or not to
sign liquor petitions. according to his
own judgment. The "Black List"
was acting like a boomerang, and has
made prohibitionists out of many who
have heretofore been neutral These
twelve at last considered it of enough
Importance to deny all connection or
knowledge of it.

slckening Sight at a Hanging.

NORWICH, ENG, Nov. 30.-A hor-
rible and sickening sight was witness
ed to-day at the hanging Of Robert
Goodale, market gardener, for the
murder of his wife at Wiseash, on
Sept. 18th last. A fifteen stone weight
was used and the drop was six feet.
When the trap was sprung the rope
bounded violently and Goodale's head
was severed from his body, the trunk
and head falling to the ground, the
head lying at the feet and blood oozing
freely from both body and head. The
spectators were horror stricken and be-
came sick at the scene. An inquest
was held. The hangman said Goodale's
head looked as though it had been cut
with knife. He had thin vertebrae.
The surgeon said the hangman was
sober, cool and collected when he
sprung the trap. The jury rendered a
verdict in accordance with the facts
and attaching no blame to the hang
man.

SPECIAL to Commercial Herald.
LAKE PROVIDENCE, La, Dec lin
pursuance of an order issued by the
police jury, an election was held
throughout the parish of East Carroll
to-day upon the subject of prohibition,
or whether license for the sale Of
intoxicating liquors shall be issued by
the parish authorities on and after
January l, 1886. The election was
hotly contested at the different polling
places, especially at the third ward, Ii
which Lake Providence is situated,
where the largest vote was polled,
being over four hundred. Everything
passed Off quietly without any distur-
bance and at the hour of closing the
polls, and from reports received from
other portions Of the parish the
indications are that prohibition has
been defeated in East Carroll and the
license have carried the day by a con-
siderable majority. Official results
will be known to o.morrow. The colored
clergymen took an active part in the
cause of prohibition and did every
thing in their power to score

BRUTAL ATTACK
Upon an Old Man, Who Is Beaten
Almost to Death.

Almost to Death.
WABASH. IND, Nov. 30-What
doubtless will prove to be a cold blood
ed murder was perpetrated in the
woods four miles east of Wabash yes
terday afternoon. Joseph Spencer, a
young man of bad character, and Sll
vester Huff, an old resident of Legro
township, while passing through
the woods became involved in an alter
cation relative to some timber. In
fit Of rage Spencer knocked the old
man down, and beat and kicked his
face into jelly. SUbse quently Huff
dragged himself to the house, where
Spencer lives to have his wounds
dressed. The burly brute again attacked
the indrm victim, crushing his skull
with a club, repeatedly striking him
with dishes and articles of furniture
Blood streamed from a dozen wounds
upon the old mans person, and but fer
the attentions of Spencer's wife,
who endeavored to save him
from the savage attacks, he would
have blcd to death. Believing
that he had killed the old man, Spencer
fled and remained hidden in the woods
until night. When news of The crime
reached the city, an officer went out
and captured him. He was lodged in
Jail and preliminary examination
will be had before the mayor this
morning. TIE assault. from what can
be learned, was almost wholly unpro-
voked. Spencer declares that he did
not intend to kill Huff, but the fact
that he renewed the attack at his
residence imparts bad phase to the
matter. Huff is lying in critical
condition and is thought will die.
Dividing the Money Received from
the Lease Of Grazing Lands.
New ORLEANS, Dec. The Times
Democrat Indian Territory special
"a bill authorizing the distribution of
three hundred thousand dollars re-
ceiyed from the lease of grazing lands
of the Territory to cattle syndicates,
among the Cherokee's per capita, is
now before the lower house of the
Cherokee legislature. The bill attracts
general attention throughout the In
dian country. The Delaware and
Shawnee Indians and white and negro
citizens claim the money should be
equally divided among all resident
citizens of the Nation. The bill, how
ever, provides for the distribution
among the Cherokees only. An
amendment, making the division gen.
eral, was voted down in the senate by
eleven to seven, and the original bill
passed by similar vote. The question
arouses intense feeling, causing all
o:her citizens to array themselves
against the full blood Cherokees. 1t is
believed the original bill will pass the
lower house by small majority. The
friends of general distribution appear
to have the law upon their side, as
well as treaty precedents, and will, it
is claimed, appeal to congress for ad-
Indication of the matter if satisfac-
tory settlement cannot be had through
