A strange spanist, scot.


Abe London Chronicles Madrid cor
respondent telegraphs: Your readers
NAV remember that some time ago
drew attention to n very remarkable
phase of religious faDaticisnf in the
little village of Tolox, in the province
of Malaga, which has led to \ State
prosecution. The devotees of the re-
figion, may call to mind, took itinto
their heads, or. rather, were led to be-
lieve by their leader, woman who
declared herself prophecies, that the
highest form of religion was to con-
duct the mundane affairs,of this life in
the simple garb Of Adam and Eve be-
fore the fall. This was bad enough.
and led, as have said, to the inter-
yention of the crown; but it was not
their only divergence from the ways of
ordinary mortals-another portion of
their doctrines being to infiict upon

ass.s. antations of the crucifixion.

their trial. Already the M =. eA.la-

apart from what may be calle. sle
spiritual manifestations which tn SO
misguided people declare have beeiA
made to them. Tho most interesting
feature in connection with the trial
have been the experiments in hypnot-
ism which have been made on the de-
PENDANTS by medical specialists-this
being the first time hypnotism has
been resorted to in Spain in the inter-
ests of justice. In nearly every case
the defendants proved to be .'good"
subjects. Many of the experiments
tried by the doctors were of the most
extraordinary character. One OF the
accused, for instance, when in state
Of hypotlsm, on being ordered to per-
spirc, broke out almost instantly in
state of profuse perspiration, while
another, who was ordered to ascend a
very high mountain, being the while
in an ordinary room, behaved as if he
were actually climbing, his breathing
becoming difficult and his heart beat
ing violently. When this man was
told that lie had reached the summit
and might rest awhile, the symptoms
Of exhaustion gradually disappeared
Others were pricked with long pins,
and gave no evidence of what was be-
ing done to them. The trial will last
several days longer and will probably
result in merely nominal punishment
being imposed upon the accused. who
for the most part seem to be merely
harmless, weak-minded people.

Rather Short.

LOUISVILLE, April 10.-The accounts of s.
NJ Weir, treasurer of New Albany, Indiana,
have been found $4,000 short. For -four
months an expert has been at work on his ac-
counts. His report shows $40, 537 of the city's
money unaccounted for. 1t makes no at
tempt to show where the money has gone,
nor does 1t charge criminality upon Weir.
Weir has been treasurer for fourteen years,
and has lived in a moral way. There is
hardly conjecture as to where the money
has gone. His system Of bookkeeping was
very loose. He is still In New Albany, and
his bonds are good for the missing funds.

THE STRIKERS

CHICAGO, April Thames O'Brien, press
representative Of the striking engineers,
called on Coroner Hertz and Chief of Dectec-
tives Henshaw this afternoon regarding the
published reports of the killing and manning
of men on the Burlington road and the con-
cealment Of the facts by the company. The
strikers claim that half dozen employees
have been killed on the 20" since the strike
began. An investigation will be made.
General Passenger Agent Morton denies
that the facts are as stated. He says there
have been but two fatal accidents here since
the strike. He does not deny that several
men have been injured, but says the accidents
were due to ordinary causes to which the
trainmen are subjected and not to incompe-
tency on the part os any employees

special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
IL was notable gathering around John
Leary's coffin, before they bore his mortal
remains to Calvary Cemetery. But though
he was murdered while drunk by fellow
thief, he did not die without the benefit of
the clergy, for in his last moments a priest
was called in, and bell, book and candle
gave him good send off TO "that bourne
from whence even DO crook returns" He
had not thought much of priest or PRAYERS
for the last thirty-five years. Red Leary
as he was known among his pals, and to
the police, was daring thief at ten; he
had done the State service before he was
twenty, at thirty he was associated with
the most accomplished bank burglars and
cracksmen in the country, the proceeds of
several Of several Of their ventures result
ing In the aggregate to millions of dollars
Twelve or fourteen years ago he kept den
on Chatham Square, where countrymen
we're taken in and done for; a mysterious
disappearance was traced to his place which
was eventually raided by the police and
Red Leary was driven out. Shortly after
he got into an alteration with another
thief In cellar on Bleecker street. 1t was
asserted on the trial that the thief drew his
pistol on Leary; whether he did, or wheth-
or he did not, the result was the same, for
thief lay stretched upon the floor stone
dead, and Leary stood with his smoking
pistol in his hand without scratch. Red
was acquitted-the judge declaring that
the only drawback to the affair was that
both OF them were not killed. The robbery
of the bank at Northampton Massachusetts,,
where S720, 900 in cash and securities were
bagged, was supposed to be one of his ex-
ploits; and the robbery of the Manhattan
Savings, Bank in open daylight of nearly
three millions was one of the heaviest pulls
on record.

fol holding the tive great conventions, but
II Is now generally believed that the session
will extend well into and possibly through
the summer. This opinion Is not based 40
much upon the backward condition of
business, or any doubt that the appfopria-
ton bills could be disposed Of as upon the
fact that the national conventions win be
held while Congress is in the midst of its
work Many of the members will naturallv
desire to attend the conventions and the
business Of Congress will no doubt be prac-
tically suspended during the time that the
conventions are In session.
Had the Democratic convention been de-
ferred until July as had been proposed.
Congress would probably have adjourned
before that time, but considering the DELAY
that is likely to be occasioned by the sus-
pension of business during the time that
the conventions are In session, it may not
be reached before August
The discussion between Senators Ingalls,
and VOORHEES, on Tuesday last has been a
general topic for discussion, and especially
among the Members and Senators at the
Capital. 1t has generally been conceded
that the United States Senate is without
an exception one of the most dlgnifed aud
accomplished parliamentary bodies in the
world, and for this reason the scene of
Tuesday last appears the more extraordin-
ary, and it is rendered still more astound-
ing from the fact that It was made by two
of the most prominent members of that
body. Every one now regrets the occurrence
and Senator Dolph, who presided during
the controversy, is blamed upon all sides.
The friends of Mr.. ingalls, say that when
Mr.. Voorhees, interrupted Mr.. ingalls, and
called him a liar, and Representative
Johnston an infamous scoundrel, he should
have bee n compelled to at once apologize
for his conduct or be expelled from the
Senate; while upon the other hand the
friends of Mr.. Voorhees, say that there
would have been no disorder on the floor if
there had been no demonstration in the
galleries, and they hold Mr.. Dolph respon-
sible for the disgraceful scene for allowing
the disorder to develop in the galleries. The
matter is, however, at an end, and there
will be no apologies and no continuation of
hostilities.
The nomination by the President of Mel
Vile W. Fuller, of Chicago, to be Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, meets with
general approval. Since the death of Chief
Justice Waite the question of his successor
has excited an interest commensurate with
the fact that the Office is the gift of the
President. Although Mr.. Fuller has never
been upon the bench, he is we'll known in
Washington, as he has frequently appeared
before the Supreme Court In the capacity
of lawyer, and it is generally conceded
that the President could not have selected
man for the office, whose nomination
would have met with a more hearty ap-
porval, especially in the Western States.
