The usual method OF procedure in slate
writing Is for the mediums to sit around a
table, two of the mediums holding the slate
beneath the table, while the others rest
their hands fatty on top Of it. A general
silence is preserved, except an occasional
sacred song sung in soft tone of voice
Generally raps are first heard, sometimes
upon the slate and sometimes on the table,
and frequently beating time to the music
Then, if the conditions be good, scratch
ing is presently heard on the slate and Is
ended by three raps, signifying that the
writing Is finished. The slate is then taken
from beneath the table and examined, when
a message is found, generally directed to
some one in the audience and signed by a
departed relative or friend of the person.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 1.-The Catholic

letter from the priest at Acapetlalmacan,
in the state of Puebla, giving particulars
OF the robbery of the magnificent cathe
dral in that city. The robbery was one of
The heaviest and most dastardly ever COM
mitted in Mexico. The church ornaments
and valuables to the amount of $4,000
and everything was taken by the vandals
from the altar, From the altar of Dolores
was stolen reflector of solid gold Several
ancient silver ornaments and works of
grand art, studded with diamonds, an
ancient figure having in 1t more than forty
brilliants and a great many small dia-
monds, all Of great value; two strings of
pearls, silver heart and seven large dagE
gers, also of solid silver. From the alta 4
OF the Most Pure was stolen one double
golden crown, a golden thread to which
was attached five stars OF solid gold and
silver ornaments and valuable stones.
From the altar OF Jesus was stolen crown

but will take them to the United States or
some other country.

depot for orders was hurled completely
from the tracks and totally wrecked. The
engine, weighing over twenty tons, was
turned completely over. The brakeman
was instantly killed and the conductor

The conservative estimates place the total
property loss at over so,000,OOO.
Immediately after the cyclone had
passed flames were seen issuing from sev-
eral of the frame buildings. 1t is thought
some Of the missing. of which there are
score, were burned to death, and their
bodies cremated. Several of the streets of
the city are so full of debris as to prevent
the passage of even foot passengers. For
miles around the city the ground is COW
cred with wrecks Of brick or frame build
ings, household furniture and utensils,
fences, telegraph poles, freight cars, etc.
Physicians estimate that of the 200 or
more injured, at least forty will die. All
the physicians from dozen near by towns
are here and more are needed.
The stock of groceries available in the
town did not suffice to give even a scanty
breakfast to the suffering people. Trains
from Weatherford and other adjoining
places, laden with supplies, arrived during
the day.
Many homeless and wounded ones are
resting in im2rovised tents, but by far the
greatest portion are out in the open air,
with nothing to shelter them from the

Look at the curious adventures and life

Is Alric, or something like 1t, a form ex.
actly analogous to the Aethelrics, Godrics,
Osrics and Heanrics Tor Henries) of early
English history. Athal or Athel in Low
Dutch answers by the usual rule to adal or
edel in High German. The full name Is
therefore no doubt Athalric, Latinized in
Its earliest shape as Athalaricus and then
generally shortened to Alaricus or Alaric
though the longer form survives In our
authorities.
The High German varient is Udalrich,
similarly contracted for convenience into
Ulrio. Hence we get In English three de-
rivatives-Athelric, Alaric Watts and III
ric, the last being borrowed direct from
the German saint who was archbishop OF
Augsburg. The French have also Alaric,
Uric and Olery-a truly native variant.

Spaniards seem to have skipped it, as they
have also done the cognate Athelbert, Ethel
bert, Albert and Alberto, which reappear in
High German as Adalbert and Albrecht
Charibert, too, is only explicable when we
regard it as the strong Frankish form of
Hereberht, which softens in later English
into Herbert st. Haribert Of Cologne bears
the self same name in an intermediate shape,
which bridges over the difference. Gensric

SPANISH VESSELS DEPART.
They Go to Havana to Bring the
PRINCESS Eulalie Here.

NEW York, May 1.-The war ships at
anchor in the North river drew crowd of
spectators yesterday nearly as large as
that Of naval review day. Every vantage
ground was thronged.
On board the foreign men-of-war the
day will not soon be forgotten. Tugs,
yachts and small boats took out from
shore so many visitors that the officers and
jack tars were lost in the crowd on deck.
The United States cruisers had good
many visitors, but nothing like the crowds
that besieged the foreign vessels. Tho
Santa Maria was black with visitors
all day.
The first departure Of any of the men-of-
war took place today. The Spanish cruiser
Infanta Isabel and Nueva Espana left for
Havana this morning. The Isabel will
meet the Princess Eulalie and her hus-
band, Don Antonio, and convey them from
Havana to this port. The Columbus cara
vels will start for Chicago in about two
weeks. Most Of the other squadrons will
remain here for some time.

COLUMBUS, o., May Twenty thousand
miners in Ohio went out on strike this
morning. The miners demand u general
advance of five cents in the price of pick

is conceded. In some of the districts the
advance is more than five cents, being
twenty cents in the jackson coal fields and
fifteen cents In the Columbian county SUBJ
district In the machine mine sub-district
an advance of twelve cents is demanded.
The operators say positively they will not
grant the advance
