own living. Adrienne found little din

men of Paris and lived IN luxury.

again took position as equestrienne and
while there became attached to young

cept the position at the Cirque lmperiale
at Rio de Janeiro. AZ she was about an.

ROBBED ON A SLEEPER.
The Company Held Responsible for
the Loss.
From az Ye,o Yorh 7tmes.

TAUNTON, MASS, Sept. 2l.--A case in
volving the important question Of the liza
bility of sleeping car companies for losses
sustained by their patrons while in
transit was tried in the Superior Court
here today. In October, 1894, William
Lewes and William r. Wing, two promi-
nent business men OF New Bedford,
started for san Francisco from the AL
bany station In Boston on the sleeper
Pontiac, owned and run by the New York
Central Sleeping Car Company. Lewes
had bills to the amount of 5000
in the inside pocket of his
vest. ard before leaving home
had his wife sew up the mouth OF the
pocket. Wing had in one pocket of his
vest small leather pOcketbook, In one
compartment OF which was $50, and in
another bills to a considerable amount.
On retiring each placed his vest under
the pillow OF his berth. At about 6 o'clock
in the morning Lewis discovered that the
bottom of his vest had been cut open and
the money Sc ed in his pocket taken. lie
notified the porter Of the robbery. Wing,
on examining his pocket, discovered that
mis- pOcketbook had been distracted dur
ing the night and replaced. Before re-
placing it the thief had taken tue money
from the fold con aiming the $3.50 and had

The defendants, while not admitting
that the compliments had sustained the
loss while In the car. rested their claim
for immunity principally on the ground
that in law they were not liable, even
though the tbefIs had been committed
during the night in question. The counsel
of the sleeping car company asked the
court to rule that the fact that the porter
was not exercising due diligence in watch
ing over the car in the morning after
the robbery had taken place was
not competent evidence that they had
not exercised due care at the time OF
its actual occurrence, and that further
more, owing to the peculiar nature OF its
business, the corporation could not be
placed upon the same footing as a rail-
rond company in its capacity of com
mon carrier, or as an Innkeeper as to his
responsibility for the property OF his
guests Entrusted to his charge, In both
instan ces the co@rt refused to grant the

A reporter was shown "reap mad
stone, which came to this city yesterday,
and which, it is claimed, has been instru-
mental in saving hundreds of people from
the tortures and terrible consequences of
hydrophobia, The stone was originally
brought from England to North Caro-.
lima. and from there about six years ago
10 Texas, where it was owned by Mr..
Bumpas, of Farmersville, where people
for miles around, when bitten by dogs or
snakes, went TO have the wonderful little
rock applied, and it proved as efficacious
in the latter case OF bites as well as the
former. Incisions the size OF the stone
are made where the wound is, and the
magic healer, after it has been soaked
well in warm water, bound TO the
place. In case there is no poison it does
not stick, but il there is. 1t holds on like
a leech till every bit is out, ana by then
soaking it in warm milk, the poison, of a
greenisn color, which has been absorbed,
comes out in the milk.
The stone is OF black or greenish black
color, and about an inch and half long
and three quarters of an incn wide and
very light. 1t was sent TO Mr.. Rodney
Wetberby by his brOther-in-law. Mr..
Bumpas, for the use of DR.. Hallowell in
the hospital. Mr.. Wetherby says in every
case in which it has been applied CON-
pleLe cures have followed. He has seen
it work several times himself, and men,
toned one instance where three men had
been attacked and bitten by very rabid
dog; two had the mad stone applied and
never were given any trouble, but the
orner, who used the ordinary method, had
the hydroph obia and died.

BIRTHSTONE AT A sEANCE.
A Naturalization by a Spiritualistic
Medium.
From the Neto York Sun.

From the Nep York Sun.
Mrs. Wallace Benkers, spiritualistic
medium, gives seances twice a week in
East Twenty-eighth street. They present
a genuine novelty in naturalization.
For the first hour which the reporter
spent there the doings were familiar
enough, tor they consisted OF the SEEM
ing enhancement of the medium, the ar
rangement of the visitors in a hand-in-
hand semi. circle IN the darkened room,
and then the emergence of what pur-
ported to be materialized spirit
forms from the cabinet. At length
the novelty came. Mrs. Wallace Ben
kers' son, husband, and two daughters
dolefully droned the air of"Old Hundred"
for some verses recounting the awful
doom Of unrepentant sinners. just after
stanza about the torturing fire of hades
blue light shone forth from the aper-
lures of the cabinet, the enclosed medium
made an cutlery, the family gave startled
EXPLANATIONS, and distinct odor of burn
ing birthstone was perceptible. Then
flashes of fame were emitted, as the doors
of the ca binet were flung open and figure
sprang into the room. The visitors were
alarmed.
Don't be frightened" said the hus-
band; undoubtedly this Is an unfortun-
ate spirit from hell, but l am sure he can
do us no harm"
The escaped Internal convict stayed
only minute or two and returned into
the cabinet, where a display of Gehenna
fireworks closed the display. 1t was from
such an exhibition that recent alarm of
fire arose. and an examination of the
cabinet showed the scorching Of the paint
from the ignition, apparently, of some of
the light fabrics used by the medium in
cOstuming for her representations of
spirits. Moreover. one of her wrists was
wrapped in bapdages. doubtless from a
burn received In the same accident. AS
the incipient fire occurred at O'Clock,
an hour earlier than the seance time, 1t is
surmised that it was caused during re-
hearsal OF the birthstone scene.
