The Ghost Used a Knife,

NEW BEDFORD YOUNG MAN TRIES TO HOLD on
TO SPIRIT.
From the Boston Herald.
Not many miles from New Bedford's city hall
there lives medium, who is said to be won
derfully blessed with the power to produce So
called spirits. Two young men, who had heard
of her, decided upon a'visit to the house where
such results have been accomplished They
were admitted to the fold, and, with others. sat
around the table. After few moments during
which time the participants gaZed at each other
| as though anxious to become acquainted. the
lights were turned out. 1t was dark as pocket,
and one Of the young men whispered to his
companion: whats this for; won't the spirits
come unless the room is darkened?" His ques-
ton has not yet been answered, for hardly had
he given utterance to the expression when he
was touched on the head by hand
Yes, hand; delicate, soft hand. The
touch was gentle one, and with visions of
communion with some departed acquaintance
he put out his strong right arm, as if anxious
to shake hands. The spirit took the hint and
shook hands with the beginner. The young
fellow was so pleased with the spirit that he
kept firm hold of the hand, and with his left
hand grasped the wrist to the hand which was
1nclosed in his own. Strange to relate this
wrist and hand protruded from the sleeve of
dress, and the fellow held on for dear life. He
was getting the better of this spirit, or whatever
1t was, having pulled the spirit thing nearly
over the table. Just at this point he received
cut on the first joint of the second finger to
his right hand. The cut was evidently made
with penknife, the wound being on the
back Of the finger, and is in the shape of an
X. probably a private mark of some Jack the
Ripper in the spiritual world. OF course, this
searcher for light let 60. There was little
commotion, and the medium made the an
nouncement that there was some person in the
room Objectionable to the spirits and it would
be useless to proceed with that influence in the
room. The victim of the knife responded by
saying that he guessed it was he, and he
thought he'd go out and have his fingers at
tended to by physician. When the lights
were put on he showed his injured digit to the
people in the room, and remarked that it was
the first time he ever heard of spirits carrying
razors. An apothecary in the neighborhood
very kindly dressed the wound. 1t is doubtful
II the young man ever attempts to again hold
communion with the spirits

Cable Dispatch to the New York World.
England is to have a theological excitement
next week, reflections of which will extend all
over the English-speaking globe. Dr. King,
bishop OF Lincoln, is to appear at the ancient
ecclesiastical palace of LAMBETH whose brown
turrets face the Thames over against the houses
of parliament. next Tuesday, to be tried by the
primate for ritualistic practices. 1t is under
stood that the bishop will come in his cope and
mitre, attended by the whole body of his can
ons, and will take the a priOri objection that he
has the right to be tried by a synod of bishops.
If this plea is sustained there will be an ad-
journment until an Episcopal convocation can
be summoned.
The charges against DIR. King are six in num-
berthe use of candles on the communion
table, the mixing of water with the communion
wine, having the angus Del" sung after the
prayer of conservation, holding his hands in the
shape of the cross while pronouncing the bene-
diction, facing toward the east while breaking
bread and performing the rite of ablution, which
means himself drinking out of the chalice.

A Millionaire's Narrow Escape.

REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF JOHN H. HA1NEs,
OF BOSTON.
A remarkable experience happened to John
II. Haines, of Boston, Saturday morning. In
company with his son, Mr.. Haines took Pull
man compartment at Philadelphia for Pitts
burg Friday evening, occupying lower berth
and his son an upper one. Being victim of
insomnia he found it impossible to sleep. 1t
is supposed that while under a temporary
alteration of the mind he raised the window
Of his compartment and jumped from the car.
From some inexplicable cause, to himself en-
tirely unknown, he succeeded in reaching the
top of freight car in the lower freight yards.
At any rate he was found there by an employe
of the road a little later on. MIR. Haines has
been partner in the Edgar Thompson steel
works Of Pittsburg. His escape from the car
is a mystery to all who were on the train. and
his escape from sudden death is considered
almost miraculous Mr.. Haines is said to be a
millionaire steel king
