A Slate-Writing Fraud.

Fort SCOTT, Kan, July 30.-The peo-
pie of Liberal, Mo-, q small town a short
distance southeast of this city, were
awakened to-day from the influence of a
spiritualistic fraud in very unusual,
but effective, way. This medium car
ried on his operations at slate writing
in an unpretentious one-story building.
The room in which the spiritualistic
manifestations were received contained
q closet having. a trap-door leading into
the loft. The party desiring infOrma-
ton from the spiritual world would
write bis question on q slip of paper,
which the medium placed on slate,
which was then laid upon the upper
shelf Of the closet. The closet door
shut; the confederate, who was stationed
in the loft, opened the trap door and
wrote an answer, dexterously withdraw
ing and closing the trap, making the
deception complete, so complete that
the fame OF the medium had extended
throughout the entire section. This
morning the confederate in the loft
dropped lamp, which set fire to the
building, and before 1t could be extin-
guished burned large hole In the roof
and exposed the fraud by which the
pair had coined many shekels.

LADIES TO THE FRONT.

A Lady Patent Medicine Drummer Who
is now Attracting the Boys.
Last night as the LIGHT man was me-
andering around In search OF news, he
passed over the Military plaza and came
upon lady who was standing in bug
gy addressing large crowd upon the
wonderful advantages Of patent medi-
cine which she was vending, and which
she guaranteed would cure anything
from a simple tooth ache to the most
deadly of deadly diseases. This lady is
Mrs. s. b. Barnhardt, a tall stately,
dashing brunette, having decided ten
dency to embonpoint who she was,
richly attired in evening dress. On her
head was q fine hat literally ornamented
with magnificent ostrich feathers, that
would cause the envy Of many fair ones.
She has a pretty face, good
tempered laughing eyes, and is
undoubtedly possessed OF strong mes
meric attractions. She wore very
handsome sleeveless dress cut low,
in the low and behold style. And she
was perfectly ablaze with jewelry and
diamonds. Her appearance was decid-
eddy distingue, and her oratory was
excellent In every way.
The cures and testimonials she related
were miraculous, perfectly eclipsing
anything that Gath, Tom Ocheltree, Ell
Perkins or Joel Mulhatton could ever
invent. They almost equaled that oele-
brated testimonial given to the patent
Asiatic Panticurial nervous cordial
which ran as follows:
Sir-By venturing too near the pow

dent blown into million Of atoms. I
was then persuaded to try yonr famous

shattered particles, the second vivified
my frame: and the third sent me alive
and well abroad to recount the wonder
full virtues Of your Asiatic panticural
nervous cordial.

Senator Harrison, from the committee on
territories, reported favorably the bill recently
passed by the House to prohibit the passage in
the territories OF local or special laws granting
divorces; changing the names of persons and
places; laying out, opening, altering, and
making roads or highways; vacatng roads,
town plats, stores, alleys, and public grounds;
locating or changing county seats; regulating
county and township affairs; regulating the
practice in courts of justice, and the jurlsdlc-
tion and duties of justices of the peace police
magistrates, and Constables, &c.
The Senate committee has added TO the bill,
as an amendment, Senator Uarrison's bills
prohibiting the territories or any municipal
corporation, or subdivision thereof from sub
scfibing to the capital stock OF orioaning its
credit TO or borrowing money for the use of
any Incorporated company: declaring that no
law of any territorial legislature shall author
Ice any debt to be contracted on behalf of such
territory except to meet n casual deficit in the
revenues TO pay the interest upon the terri
torial debt, to suppress instructions, or to
provide for the public defense; prohibiting
them nom becoming indebted for any purpose
TO any amount exceeding per cent. OF the
value OF the taxable property within their
limits: The amendment also changes section

read, "The legislative assemblies OF the several
territories shall not grant private charters or
special privileges, but they may, by general
incorporation acts, permit persons to associate
themselves together as bodies corporate for

Mr.. G. A. Wetmore, president of the National
Viticultural Association, made an argument
before the Senate committee on finance yester-
day in support OF bill relating to distilled
spirits and wines. The bill is one drawn by
the commissioner of internal revenue, at the
request OF the committee for their considera-
ton. Mr.. Wetmore represented that the
production of sweet wine In this country was In
excess of home demands; and that avenues of
trade must be opened abroad, or the manu-
facture would be destroyed by oyerproduc-
ton. To compete successfully In the foreign
markets, he said, 1t was necessary that the pro-
ducer should he allowed TO fortlfy his wines
with pure grape brandies without being sub.
ject to the pay ment of the internal revenue tax
thereon, He also represented the dangers
which threaten the manufacture of pure
American wines through the manufacture Of
cheap, deleterious authorizations and imlta-
tions, and urged the necesssityof protective
legislation. The bill referred TO was drawn to
cover the two points named, and also includes
provision for the taxation of fractional parts
ofa gallon of distilled spirits 1t is livery com.
prehensive mefsIrs based upon the bill (al-
ready .published) which was drawn by tho
Viticultural Association, but embodies in elab.
crate form the machinery necessary for the
detection and punishment of fraud.

committee, composed of Senators spooner

inquiries into the gas question, cost of maxi
Ing II, price OF material, &c. At their re-
quest Mr.. Mccarthy, OF McKeesport, Pa,

ments as to the cost OF making gas lie

used by the Washington Gas Company, costs
81 per 1000 pounds, and the freight TO
Washington is $1.60 for that quantity, maxi
ing the cost laid down here $500 for a little
less than a ton. Naphtha, he said, costs 8
cents per gallon. lie explained that many
gas companies have IN arrangement by
which they get q rebate on the materials
they use.
Mr.. Mccarthy said that much better gas
than is supplied here could be furnished
prohtably at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and be would not hesitate 10 contract 10
make 1t that figure. He also said that the
mixture Of water and coal gas here pre-.
vents good quality; that tho two do not
mix, and that either coal gas or water gas
should be supplied. The inquiry will be
pursued further.
In the Senate yesterday the resolution Of
Mr.. Van Wyck, directing an inquiry into
the purchase OF Georgetown gas stock by
Mr.. Bartol, Of Philadelphia, aud also an
investigation as to the cost OF making gas
ing the price, was referred TO the District
