B. McGinness, stating that a Mrs. w. B. San

playing cards and inspection of the head and
hands; also, on the same day, "did effect pur-
pose by spells. charms, necromancy, etc., con-
trary to the act of Assembly, and against the
peace and dignity of the Commonwealth"

cIairvoyant, would have been arrested yester-
day. had she not been Ill. The summons was
served, however, and she will be brought into
court as soon as she is able to be around. This
case grows out of a search for gold bracelet
lost by Mrs Smith and her daughter Annie.
They had recourse to Mrs. Sanborn, and. after
paying that lady so cents. were given descrip-
tion of the woman who had stolen the bracelet.
Mrs. McGinness answered the description and
was accused by the women, who seem to
have had the most implicit faith in the virtue
of the charms exercised. This enraged Mrs.
McGinness who promptly proceeded to prose-
cute Mrs. Sanborn.

An Abnormal Growth Causes the Death of q

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
WAYNEsBURG, Feb. T.-The curious forma-
ton on the body of the little 3year-old boy of
John Rock. of Rice's Landing, Of which so
much has been said caused the death of the
child at last. In August last the boy was play
ing in the yard, when he fell down. He cried
good deal and seemed to suffer. Little atten-
tion was paid to it, however, until few days
later strange lump was discovered on his ab-
domen. 1t grew to an enormous size, and ply
slcians declared an operation meant death.
The boy would eat scarcely anything, though
he almost constantly asked for food. When
not watched he would eat ashes and other hard
substances Last Wednesday he asked his
mother for piece Of cake, and in three min
utes after was dead. When the growth was
moved it weighed "a pounds, and it was found it
had completely surrounded the kidneys and
grown fast to the body. Its size caused it to
interfere with the action of the heart, causing
death. The lump is said to be puzzle to ply
slcians, who say it resembles no humorous
growth they ever encountered.

Erastus Wiman Secures the Written
Opinion of Over 100 Statesmen.
NEW YORK, Feb 27.-Erastus Wiman has re-
ceived more than 100 responses from members
of Congress to his request for an opinion
whether, if opportunity offers. they would vote
for the Hit resolution. He says majority
both of Senate and House, will certainly be
secured in favor of unrestricted reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Canada.
Senator Sherman writes it will be impossible
in the crush of the closing days, to act upon the
resolution. and thinks that IN the face OF the
Canadian campaign any action might be mis-
understood. He thinks cordial commercial re-
lations would be of mutual interest, but all that
the friends of reciprocity can probably do is to
express the Willingness of the people of the
United States to enter into such engagement
when the people of Canada are willing.

claimed that he was out of order, he, Nor
ris, had the floor, and did not propose to yield
it. st. Clair replied:
You will have to yield if you fool with me-"
Morris replied that he did not propose to
yield to anybody until he got through" and st.
Clair started toward him in a threatening man
ner. Morris picked up heavy glass inkstand
from his desk, and remarked that he had the
floor and would keep it until he got through.
He could not be bullduzed, and thought he
understood the law of self defense. The men
clinched, but the struggle was cut short by the
members and the Sergeant at Arms.
