Minneapolis, Nov. I.-There was

pl.gramme had proceeded UP to that poipi
where, In company with another lady anc
gentleman, she sits In front Of the cab
net, all three being hidden from view
except their heads by n curtain hung j.
front Of them. When the Spirits in tn,
cabinet had carried on their antics fo
a minute or SO, Mr.. Moulton, one of ID,
gentlemen whom the audience had dele
gated to go on the stage and watch tn,
ceremonies, became over-curious,. an;
pushed forward to lift the curtain around
the mediums feet. He did more thar
this. He lifted her skirts, expecting /,
find a boy concealed there, but saw moth
ing but nicely trimmed lace skirts. Mis-,
Fay became highly indignant, and pro
tested vigorously. Her assistant RUSHED
over and grappled with MIR. Moultop, ant
a rough-and-tumble fight ensued, which
was quelled by a policeman who pu
Mr.. Moulton off the stage. Half Of th,
audience sided with Moulton and the 9th
ers s~ympathized with the lady, and Z
scene of confusion followed. When quie,
was restored Miss Fay proceeded witt
her exhibition, adding that If there was
any lady in the audience who desired tt
examine her clothing she might do 50
but she objected to n man performing tb.
operation. Mr.. Moulton Is a drug cIerl
in the city, and his father Is a farmer it
