A MEsMERlsT's WoRK.-The resi-
dents OF New Riegel, ILL.,, are crazy
over the work of hypnotist. A few
days ago man calling himself "Pro-
lessor Rock" went there and claimed
to be hypnotist. His first lecture was
attended by 100 of New Reigel's best
known citizens, and his powers over
many of them were forcibly and in
some instances cruelty demonstrated.
Friday and Saturday many of the vii
layers, who attended the lectures, were
standing upon the streets, hypnotizing
one another and excitedly haranguing
listeners while the religiously inclined
were depicting the past, present and fu-
ture. Dominick Marks walked to Tifin
and, entering the Franklin Hotel,
apparently in hypnotic state, demand
ed that the proprietor give him some
watermelons, claiming he had been
sent there by q resident of the will
age, who had hypnotic power. People
are wandering about the town imagin-
ing themselves cats, dogs, demons and
almost everything of ridiculous char
acter. One father of a family imagined
he was dog, aud insisted upon going
about the streets on all tours and bark
ing like dog. The conduct of other
prominent citizens is painfully ludi-
cro1s. The Professor has left for
parts unknown, to avoid q promised
coat of tar and feathers. TIE Mayor
has issued an order to fine any person
S25 who practices hypnotism in that
heretofore quiet town.

in Union county, and murdered Snod-
derby, aged 81, and his wife, aged 76.
They pillaged the house and secured
about $1,000, and escaped to West Vir-
glnia. On June Ord they were sur
rendered by Cox's father for the re.
ward of $500, and were convicted of
murder in the first degree.

directly in Beans path, grapp]ed with
him, disarming him in trice, and turn
ed him over to the policeman.
The Congressman is much smaller

the latter in such a manner as to pinion
his arms to his side. Bean saw that a
fight was impossible. and noticing Rep

stepdaughter of influencing her, and
finally he became so incensed over the
matter that he decided to kill her.

the National Shoe and Leather Bank,
was arraigned before Judge Benedict
in the United States circuit court in
New York to day for sentence. Two
directors of the Shoe and Leather

told them he would give them oil the
information in his power to help them
to trace Bakers missing checks and aid
them 10 straighten out the tangled &C
counts, even if he should be sentenced
to ten years. Lawyer Angel made an
earnest appeal to the two directors to
intercede with Judge Benedict in See
ly's behalf, but they positively declined
to do so and simply said they would
not speak word to the judge one way
or the other. President Crane did not
see Seely this morning.

Train.Robber n1orsanfield.

Train-robber Morganfeld's ease came
up in the Police Court in Cincinnati on
Saturday and was continued until jan
uary because the Virginia officials
failed to appear. Morganf1eld is now
able to be removed and would have
been turned over to the custody of the
Virginia officials had the latter put in
an appearance. The Cincinnati police
are anxious to get rid of Morganfeld,
as he has given them much trouble.
He is still in the hospital and is not
able to walk. IF he is moved it will
have to be done with the aid of crutch-
es or stretcher.
Prosecuting Attorney White, of Fred
ericksburg; Local Agent Foggs, of the
Adams Express Company, and a num-
Der of other officers of the company
called on Chief of Police Deitsch in
Cincinnati yesterday and had confer
ence regarding Morganfeld and the
possibility of bringing him back
to Virginia within the next few
days. a visit was then made
to the City Hospital, where the prison
er's condition was more fully inquired
Into. 1t is not improbable that he will
be brought back to- the scene of the
robbery within the next three days, as
the express people are determined to
move him and give him trial as soon
as possible. His attorney, on the other
hand, declares that he will fight the
case as soon as his client gets we'll.

FOUR more democratic congressman
have published what, they say, they
think are the reasons for the late
sweeping democratic defeat; but though
they all know the real cause of that
defeat, not one has the moral courage
to express that knowledge. The spring
starts the brook, and though the brook,
on its way to the sea, increases as it
goes, so the defeat referred to, started

tions until the deluge.

ed his wife in August, came into court
at Reading, Pa, on Saturday, and rem
dered verdict of mot guilty." The
verdict was received with cheers,

or, and the jury took the view that he
was justified in killing her.
