PUTNAM, May 2l.-Au extraordinary
phenomenon is reported by +. b Far
ham of the village of East Thompson,
amoeg the hills of Windham county, in
the extreme northwestern corner oS Con-
necticut. Mr., Farnham tells the story of
it this way: Three years ago last March
a travelling photographer strolled into
East Thompson, taking pictures. Among
others he took a picture of the house OF
Mr.. Windsor Bates OF the village. Mr..
Bates is the postmaster of the town of
Thompson and has a country store. 1t Is
only a short distance from the railroad
station. The house is an old farm house
but is apparently well kept. The sole &C.
cupants of it are Mr.. Bates and his wife.
who are people well advanced in life, he
being IS pears old and she two years
younger.
The picture was taken showing the
house with Mr.. Bates and his horse in
front OF IL and his wife sitting in the fore
ground. Here is the strange thing: In
one of the windows appears the pam
likeness of Mr.. Bates mother who bad
been dead three years at the time the pic
ture was taken. At the moment when
the photograph was taken there was not
a person in the house; that is certain.
The only picture of Mr.. Bates mother
known to be in the neigborhood at the
time was one in an album on a table in
one of the rooms of the dwelling. Still
the likeness in the window is a distinct
and perfect one of aged Mrs. Bates. 1t
is that of an old woman. and is on \ pane
that is at least six feet from the floor. of
the room. Mrs. Bates was a short wo-
man. She died at the age of 95 years.
As soon as the photograph was shown to
neighbors every one who saw it pro-
nounced it to be Enthusiastically a likeness
of Mr.. Bates mother.
Mr.. Bates and his wife are sincere
Metbodists. and have no knowledge of or
sympathy with spiritualism; still they
take pleasure in showing the photograph.
and would be glad to have spiritualists,
psychologists. or others explain the
strange figure in the window pane. Mr..
Farnham SAYS he has seen the picture.
and adds: 81 can only wonder at it,
Phenomena similar TO the one reported
in the hamlet in Thompson rave been re
ported in other places in the country in
the past. it is said. but usually the spirit
picture on a window pane in photographs
of the kind fades slowly and finally dis
appears. The East Thompson spirit
figure is as fresh and clear as ever.

The family quarrel between the Mad
dens and McDermotts of the Big Horn
valley is opening up a complete network
of crime in which members of both
families have been implicated and before
the matter is settled the whole outfit may
either be hanged or imprisoned. The
latest charge is made by Mrs. McDermolt
aud is given in this weeks Buffalo Echo.
1t is to the effect that she has informed
Sheriff Anglers that her husband is
wanted in Meagher county, Montana, for
a murder committed a good many years
ago. The sheriff informed the Meagher
county authorities who have requested
him to hold McDermott on that charge.
Several Cheyenne stockmen are
familiar with the stock stealing record of
McDermott and Madden and are pre-
pairing proof to be used against both of
them on their trial.

NJ. A. Martin, the chief being i'll and the
Acknowledgements, c. +. Laughton, be
ing acting governor, conceived a great
scheme. AS the sending u of the an.

he had a neat little impression of his SON

into each and every message that went
out to all the governors and Lieutenant
governors anu public libraries and high
and mighty ambassadors from many
foreign pOtentates. When the message
foated into the state library behold. be-
tween the pages relating to the culture OF
salmon and the funded debt of the state,

CHICAGO, May % Surgeons West
and Bouffier have performed a difficult
operation on Luke Branick at the county
hospital. IL consisted in sewing up a
knife wound that penetrated the outer
covering of the heart. Branick was
brought to the hospital in almost a diving
condition. DR.. Boufler made an i%ncision
five inches long extending in the median
line through the peritoneum. A gush of
dark blood from the previous internal
hemorrhage flowed from the i%ncislon.
Silken sponges were placed between the
intestines and the liver was pulled down
and tied.
The surgeon followed the course of the
knife. His finger was passed upward and
found an opening in the diaphragm. This
settled the question Of life and death with
the nurses and attendants. The man NAV
be dead. But DR.. Vests finger passed
on through the opening when he looked
up in surprise and hastily withdrew his
hand.
This man is living / touched his
heart. | felt its pulsations. - said he.
The opening into the diaphragm led in
to the pericardial cavity. The heart was
fluttering and the patient was sinking
rapidly. Hastily a suture was passed
through the edges of the wound and the
opening in the diaphragm was closed. An
NJ shaped stick was pvt into the liver and
the upper part Of the abdominal cavity
was sponged out. The abdominal Incl
sion was then closed with iodoform gauze
and occlusive dressing. The man was
still living and is still alive. The opera
ton was performed a fortnight ago and
yesterday Branick was prepared to be re-
moved to his home. He is "a years old,
unmarried, and an engineer by trade.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In view of

upon the real condition of Secretary
Blaine, a reporter today interviewed Sec
rotary Tracy, who said: THE business
of our departments brings Blaine and
myself much together. Any statement
that Blaine is not as strong, sound and
alert as he ever was does him grave in
justice. Only a few days before
he lett for New York we were
together a long time in consultation over
an important public document. Ii was
criticized and discussed at great length
and l have never seen HIM when he ap-
peared to better advantage than he did on
that occasion. | have not regarded bis

vent his early return to the discharge of

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-The clearing
house due bills issued by the Keystone
National bank and given Bardsley at vari-
u times that 1880, 900 OF state moneys
were deposited, are not worth the paper
they are written on, unless the assets of
the bank include more than the deposits
as shown by the ledger. These due bills
are issued by the banks belonging to the
Philadelphia Clearing House Association
for the accommodation of depositors. Ii
MIR. Bardsley, when he received the clear
ing house due bills from the Keystone
National bank. had Immediately re-de-
posted them. the bills would have been
presented at the clearing house next
morning, and if the keystone bank had
been a creditor to the amount OF the bills
they would have been paid. Bardsley
knew, or should have known, that by
keeDing the due bills he was simply specu-
lating upon the solidity of the keystone
bank. The bank is not at this time a
creditor at the clearing house to the
amount OF the due bills now held by
Bardsley and they are, therefore, worth
less. At the Office OF the United States
marshal this afternoon, it was stated that
the rumor that Marsh. tho absconded
president of the Keystone bank, had been
arrested in Montreal, hal been invcsti-
gated and found t. be without foundation.

A Dago Done Up.

A rather peculiar case came up for hear
ing before Commissioner Perrin yesterday
afternoon.
Frank Sigonur, dago fruit vender, con-
Quoted stand near the corner of Lincoln
avenue and Twenty fifth street last fall
One day he made pleasure trip to Collins
ton, where he became entangled with a
laborer on the Bear River canal over a
trivial difficulty, and received the contents
of a 32-calibre siX-shooter. The dago re-
turned to Ogden. His wound kept grow
ing worse, and, becoming alarmed as TO the
safety Of his life, placed another dago in
charge of his business and went to Denver
to receive treatment in a hospital Before
leaving, however he left instructions with
dago No TO buy what he thought was
needed for the store ana on his return to
Ogden TO make Z statement of receipts and
disbursements.
In the meantime dago No. disposed of
the vendor to Il. MuliiniX and departed for
other chimes.
Sigonurs wound healed up and few days
ago he put in an appearance, only to find
another man IL possession of the place. To
satisfy his wrath ne brought suit against
the new proprietor to recover the amount
of his goods.
Painter 81 Murphy appeared as attorneys
for the plaintiff ana White Il White for the
defendant The hearing was had before a
jury. which brought in verdict of judg-
ment OF SO in favor OF the plaintiff. The
case was appealed.

Police Court.

The police court had a livelier aspect yes
terday, perhaps more so than any time yet
this year. The following cases were dis
posed of:
- Collier, arrested on the charge Of
assault and battery, was taxed the sum of
- and costs.
J. Mccormick and Charles Myers, the
two hobos arrested for hurglarizing the
the Salt Lake beer hall, were bound over
by his honor in the sum of $1,000 bonds
each. They will probably be taken to the
penltentiary to day.
Yesterday forenoon genuine Chinese
row occurred IN the celestial store and
laundry near the corner of Grant avenue
ana Tweuty-fourth street The facts as
nearly as could be learned from the Chinese
tongue, is substantially as follows: Three
cousins, 2. Lock, A. Jock and another
almond eyed son Of eastern Asia, have been
in partnership in the gardening business
They have always agreed in their transac-
lions until lately. A Jock has practically
done all the peddling of produce about the
city, and has collected all the moneys The
other two accused him of not turning their
share OF the cash over to them, and finally
yesterday forenoon the air became so
heated around the celestials that a regular
battle ensued, and A. Jock fired pistol at
one OF MS opponents, but missed wide his
mark. Omcers Brown and Sleeth hap
pened on the scene and ordered an apart
ment in the city jail for Jock, where he was
domiciled until Judge Preshaw put in an
appearance to superintend the hearing.
General Percival j. Barratt, of the Utah
National guards, was present as attorney
for both the plaintiff and the defendant.
The judge concluded the case by imposing 8
hne of S25 and costs on the defendant.
which in all amounted to S31. At latest ac-
counts Jock was still in the bastile under
the care of Colonel Baxter.
