Not James G.'s. That Is Said to Have Gap
pearcd" at an Augusta Seance.
Special to the New Yo.k World.
AUGUSTA, Ne, Dec. est was not the ghost
Of James G. Blaine that according to spiritual
lists haunted a seance recently, but the spirit
form Of Walker Blaine, the dead son of the Sec
rotary of State.
Augusta has many believers in the creed that
communication can be kept up between this
and the spirit world, and among the followers
Of the shadowy religion are many of the lead
ing persons Of this city. Their medium is O
DR.. Merrill. who came here about two years
ago from Hartford, Conn. DR.. Merrill, when
not comrnu ming with spirits, administers to the
comforts OF the livinS-for G consideration
and IL rated as great practicing physician.
Twilight, an Indian chief, has been the spirit
most frequently materialized by DIR. Merrill,
and through this red mans ghost he has talked
with those Of the great majority. But about o
a year ago Walker Blaine is said to have put in
an appearance. He did not remain long and
nothing more was heard from him until last
week. Now the strange doings at this seance
have been made public, and there is much talk
| about it all.
The seance in question was held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Bigelow. widow of VIM. H. Bige-
low, who was not only leading politician of
kennebec county, but a personal friend Of Sec
rotary Blaine 1t was Tuesday night and
around the table were some eighteen ladies and
gentlemen of Augusta, among them ID. W.
Plimpton, a near relative of Mr. Blaine, who
attended for the first time, as he said, ,.'out of
curiosity" DR.. Merrill made known some
twenty-five communications from the denizens
of the spirit world and then, walking up to Sfr.
Blaines relative. took him by the hand ( !
II will assist you. 1 will assist YOU. Do YOU
know me? l am Walker Blaine," he said. and
then continued in spirit fashion. '-|s ? I
II The alleged Walker told of his happiness in
his present home and how pleased he was to
have an opportunity to deliver message to his
friends and relatives on earth, and hoped to be
able to appear often in the same manner. The
summer land where he dwelt, lie said. was a
fair land, and life there was great improve
ment on the life below.
DR.. Merrills admirers say that three DAYS
before Secretary 1'racy's house was burned lie
foretold that :. great calamity would befall a
leading official i'll Washington.
