AMONG THE sPIRITUALIsTs.
4 Practical Reporter Ont of HIS Dept
INFO Mef0DhUsicS

Practical Reporter Omt of HIS Depth
into Metaphysics.
A very practical and skeptical reporter for
the GLOBE attended a meeting at Spiritual
hall last evening and heard Mrs. Tryon de-
liver lecture that had for its title, Will 1t
Pay! The room, Malcolm's hall, was well
filed and no doubt with true believers, for
they listened with eagerness to the mysterious
and metaphysical language of the speaker as
she talked Of 'sensitives," domestic chan
nels,'' receptive conditions" and other
technicalities unfamiliar to the matter
of-fact man of news. The lecture
was in the nature of an exhortation to the
initiated to stand together and support spir-
itualism and the ''medii,' and keep out of
the baneful effect of the spirit influences Of
douoters. In one place, when de scribing q
medium at seance, she said: "When the
medium takes her place, every nerve and
fibre thrilling with the sensitiveness of the
being in communication between the gross
world and the lovely land of spirits what do
you believers do! Do you gather about her
and throw around her a Gordon of spirit in
huences in sympathy with hers, to
support and strengthen her? No;
the room and allow those to surround her
who only come to scott and ridicule and
hunt up something to carry out for jest into
the gross world. Their spirit band is com
posed of blue devils, if 1 may use the term,
while your good influences are far off. And
then two men will come into the room. They
have come from drinking saloon and they
bring in other bad spirits in league against
her. Does this pays''
At this reference to the chad spirits' from
a saloon, which was an unintentional double
entendre, late arrival anxiously whispered:
rs this Murphy meeting!' But her next
words went on to reassure him. She said:
''There is great and glorious day for
spiritualism coming. L cannot say when,
but it is surely coming. You ask me why.
Go TO one of your churches and you will find
spiritualism in everything. The minister
ascends his pulpit and breaches a sermon
that he has been all week preparing. 1t is
full Of spiritualism, though he may not know
it, and it falls like balm on his congregation.
But take away the spiritualism and it is ike
dry husks. And this is why know there is
bright day ahead. The present forms of re-
lgio7 do not suit the people. Why is it
theJ have revised the Scriptures! Because
tnere was too much there they could not &C
ept; and this also tells me of the glorious
1nture when all will be spiritualism, though
hey may not call it by that name"
After two hours of these mysterious gen
eralties the speaker announced a public
seance for next Thursday evening and ended
her discourse. The news fiend who had ex-
pected manifestations avoided the contribu-
ton and departed.

A PARTISAN ADVENTURES
Who Failed to Astound and Capture the
Gothamites.

New YORK, March IA remarkable aud
adventurous young woman from France de-
parted for home yesterday after six months
of unsuccessful attempt to astound and
capture New York. Her name is Marie
Yeldo, and she is a sculptures. She pos
sesses considerable skill, but it falls short Of
genius, AMI she seems to have determined
that audacity would answer her purpose
as well in this country. She took costly
rooms in the Hotel Brunswick and estab-
lished a gorgeous studio. Here she held re-
ceptions for which cards were issued in large
numbers, but to which few persons went
To those who did respond she showed plas-
ter group representing st. Anthony tempted
by very modern and unpoeticsl, though
voluptuous Parisicnne. Her next move was
to place this work on exhibition in
the Eden Musee, and to employ
an agent to advertise her after the man
ner of theatrical stars, but the efforts of this
employe got her no fame and the only para
graphs which she saw about herself were
some laudatory ones in the amusement week
lies and sarcastic ones in other journals.
Judging that her st. Anthony was after all
too mild for the purposes of sensations lism
she set about modelling a figure of Zola's
Mana. When this was done, two weeks
ago, she sent out new batch of invitations
to a reception, but again she was disregarded
by the art critics Of the daily press. Disguised
and discouraged she decided to give up her
American mission. She sold her Mana to
Ned Stokes, who will add it to his barrooD
collection of art objects unless Comstoek for
bids

DYNAMITERS AT WORK.
Testing New Machine in the Mountains of

j Testing New Machine in the Mountains Of
Pennsylvania.
Special to the Globe.
HUNTINGTON, Pa, March Three men
who for several days have been experiment.
ing in Diamond valley, wild and secluded
part of this county, with machinery for the
explosion of nitro-glycerine and other highly
explosive compounds, quietly took an after
noon train at Petersburg to-day for the
West. One was Frenc Gilman who gave his
name as NJ. Fournard, and his residence
as Paris. He said that he had been
two months in this country, most
of the time in New York. The
others were a German and an American,
who gave neither names nor residences and
did no talking. They were in this city be-
fore going to the remote recess
in Tussey mountain to which they
resorted. The American had been here pre-
viously, having been with a party which in
the latter part of December had made several
tests of the new compound called nitro-petra-
line. The Frenchman, who is not proficient
in English, talked but little. In reply to in
persons in whom he was obliged to
confide in order to obtain the local
information necessary for his purposes he
said he was the inventor of machinery. He
was trying and is to get a large sum of
money for it after it is perfected from the Nj
hilists in Russia, information in Ger
many and France, and dynamiters in Amer
lea. The contrivance is very simple, con-
ssting principally of wick, somewhat like
that used in kerosene lamp, which is sat-
urated with highly infammable wax and
coiled concentrically on roller. 1t is I'M
coiled by spring, the motion of
which is regulated by few
wheels and cogs. AS the wick uncoils
it passes through tube which governs the
rapidity with which it burns. The part to be
last unwound is for several inches of differ
emf kind being highly combustible and burn
ing with the flash and igniting explosives
with which it communicates. The time is
controlled by the length of the wick. Tie
object now being to regulate it so as to burn
six inches an hour. This has been nearly
accomplished. There is a variation of
about twenty minutes in a machine running
three hours. Very gratifying results were
obtained in experiments, several success
full explosions having been secured. The
American and German are agents of soci-
cites who employ VI. Fournard and are to re-
port upon the results. They go from here to
Pittsburg stopping at one intermediate
point and thence to Cincinnati and Chicago.

Transportation of Nebraska Grain,

AS has heretofore been announced in the
GLOBE, the directors Of the Illinois Central,
in their annual report, suggested that the
Iowa lines, operated by the company, be
given up at the expiration of the lease in
1887. If this happened, the Chicago g.
Northwestern would undoubtedly secure this
control. This would be of immense advan-
tage to the Northwestern on its Nebraska
grain business TO Chicago, and a strong
competition would spring up between it and
The Burlington routes. The Omaha road has
had fair proportion of the Nebraska grain
carrying business, but by the control of the
Iowa lines by the Northwestern
road much of it would be lost.
Why would not st. Paul and
Minneapolis be as good markets for the Ne
braska corn as Chicago and st. Louise Most
of the produce is shipped to European ports,
and route from Nebraska via the Omaha
road to st. Paul, or direct to Duluth, and
from there by boat to the seaboard, would
add greatly to the commercial interests Of the
Northwest, besides increasing the revenue Of
the Omaha road. The distance from Duluth
by water to the seaboard is only fifty miles
longer than from Chicago, and the advan-
tagcs Of the northwestern route would be the
advantage of railroad hanl over 200 miles
shorter. To secure this trade, however, it
would be necessary for the Omaha road to
secure control Of the Iowa lines and exclude
the Northwestern from the field.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 1.-The Globe
Democrat will print tomorrow long inter
view with Gov. John c. Brown, general
solicitor of the Gould railroad lines, regard
ing the quo warranto suits recently instituted
in the supreme court of Missouri agant Jay
Gould and several of his associates, for vio-
lation of the provision of the state constitu-
ton prohibiting common ownership or con-
troll of parallel or competing railroad lines
Gov. Brown very plainly declares these
suits to have been inspired by President
Plant of the Southern Express company, who
is also interested in the Adams and
Texas expresses, for the purpose of COMPEL
ing Mr.. Gould to admit Mr. Plants company
to express privileges over the lines OF the
Southwestern system at practically Mr..
Plants own terms. Speaking as it were for
Mr.. Gould, Gov. Brown says no compromise
of the express controversy will be thought of
by the railroad, besides that they have conf
dence in their case, and if
beaten in the United States SUI
preme court will cheerfully yield
to that courts decree, but it is added signifi-
cantly that if that court decides the South
western system must admit Mr.. Plants COM
pany to express service over its lines at his
own figures then the Pacific Express company
now operating over those lines will at once
invade the other lines over which the Plant
companies are now operating. AS to the
quo warranto suit in this state Gov. Brown
declares that there is no actual parallelism
between the Missouri Pacific and Missouri,
Kansas 81 Texas and Iron Mountain lines in
this state, and that there can be no violation
of the constitution regarding competing
lines so long as the maximum rates of trans
portation fixed by state law are observed

BLUE RIBBON wEARERs.
A1a Interesting and Productive Meeting O
the Murphy Club at The ConliQue.

An Interesting and Productive Meeting of
the Murphy Club at The ConliQue.
The Theatre Comique was literally packed
last evening by people about town eager to
learn temperance doctrines as propounded
by the loquacious philosophers Of the Muir
ply club. The 1nonotony of the array OF
faces which met the eager and ever watch
full eye of the galaxy of oratorical lights was
refreshingly broken by the presence of
generally in the parquet.
The speakers had an earnest and sincere
penchant rather than the humorous attri-
butes which have, perhaps, been the distin-
gushing characteristics of previous gather
ings of the club on the vaudeville stage.
Their name was legion, filing the entire
length of the stage. John G. Woollev, the
ardent reformer, was the first to break the
stiffness which had fallen over the assem-
blage after the audience had become COM
fortably seated. He did not attempt, by re-
sorting to sophistry, to convince his hearers
of the happy results Of absolute reformation,
OF total abstinence from the wine cup, but
he recited incidents written in indelible, in
controvertible and unmistakable characters
on the tablet of his memory, and from his
personal experience.
Judge Baird, the patriarch, followed He
had few anecdotes to relate, which were
relished, more especially by the boys.
An obstreperous youngster in one of the
upper boxes confused and aggravated the
Judge with his incessant chattering until
sort of a riot act was read. Then silence
again reigned supreme

Disastrous Albany Fire.

ALBANY, n. T., March - This city was
visited to-day by one of the most destructive
fires in many years. 1t originated in the
eastern end Of a huge frame freight house of
the Albany & Susquehanna Railway COM
pany used also by the West Shore company
The flames spread with frightful rapidity and
it was feared the whole southern portion of
the city would be destroyed. The fremen
worked admirably under many disadvan-
tages, the water mains being insufficient in
size to furnish a good supply of water.
The dying out of strop e
south wind and the setting in of
a heavy rain soon after undoubtedly saved
much property. The freight depot of the
Albany & Susquehanna 600 feet long, well
filled with freight, was totally destroyed, with
fifteen loaded freight cars. About forty cars
were damaged. The West Shore owned most
Of the freight, and the Delaware 81 Hudson
Canal company the greater part OF the cars.
The loss of each of these companies was
$4,000. The Albany Aniline and Chemical
works of the west building, adjoining the
depot, was almost entirely destroyed. The
east building was not damaged. Loss about
sl25, 900, insured at sS5, 900. The company
will continue manufacturing in the east
building. 1t is not known how the fire orig
mated The burned district embraces sew
eral acres. During the fire many loud ex-
plosions occurred, caused by the bursting Of
tanks of nitro aud benZola.

BosToS, Mass, Feb. 2S.-The Transcript
says that there has been for some time past an
effort to induce the Union Pacific railroad to
sell to the Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy
railroad some of its Nebraska bran cnes, in
Guiding the central branch Of the Colorado
Central and St Joseph & Western. If ac-
complished there will probably come about
in due time strong alliance between the
Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy and Union
Pacific roads.
