Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1895-09-21

already reported, not one sentence of
Information on any subject. though
doubtless to those present who had
been Intimate with Mr.. Stevens the
knowledge that he was present was of
great moment. Following this was an
other silence broken occasionally by
whispers between the medium and the
lady sitting next him, What these
whispers were could not be known by
the animated. hut occasionally word
would be heard, which was altogether
meaningless.
But soon thore was something inter-
eating In the entertainment. Mrs Muir
ply announced herself In a voice that
no woman ever possessed, and ESCAPED
the vigilance committee.
She was good natured spirit, and
was as full of Jokes as her good Irish
name would suggest. She was especial
~ facetlous regarding a gentleman
called Bell. asking him, How is Mag
gle?" on being told that Maggie was
well. she said "A bad girl. that Mag
gle" Then size wanted to know-this
kindly spirit-rwhy Mr.. Bell had not
married Maggie. About this time she
was asked by some gentleman IL she
could not glvesome manifestations.
IF ven OMIT kaE!e your shurt on yen
have all the Manifestations yen want"
Then came d lot. colloquy between
Mrs. Murphy end t8F, Bell. in which
she assured him In utill additional un-
heavenly Language, that somebody's
been roastbinI ye to the gurrul, and
yen have to talA loill II man If you git
her"
In the mantirps there had been more
than one demand for music. the mu-
stefan assuring MS friends that the
conditions We're always unfavorable
when there was no harmony, and there
was no harmony where there was no
music. The singing VI Sweet Bye and
Bye" might have been called "har-
mony," but no muliciun could have
borne II without n twinge of the
nerves.
Another rest was aiken by the me-
dunn. followed by more awakening
snor -, or grunts, ofan unusually Wig
orous nature. The spirit that was
wrestling with the medium this time
announced himself II strange lingo
/ cross between Chhese and Apache,
| but he declared hd was n Brave"
| His communication were utterly unln-
! telligible to the reprter. About this
! time came scufilina and the coarse
! whispers of voice through the trum-
pet that lay ON the liable near by Mr..
Wallace's side, In pc meantime sew
everal OF the circle declared that an
unseen hand had 9uched their per-
sons. and there wash sound as OF the
most affectlonate patlng Of one body
by another, who void put into these
little caresses all possible of love and
affection. This continued several min
utes, after which tho medium declared
that he could not livl any longer with
out air or water ie told them to
break the circle" while he took n
breath OF air and who'd the streaming
sweat from his petpirlnR face and
form. The light wa turned on, and
Mr.. Wallace left tn room for few
minutes.
1t should have beet stated that when
the sceance began three small pads
and three lead peieils were on the
floor. under the tabli by the medium =
side. When the liglis We're turned on
sew sral leaves OF thde tabs were scat
tered over the floor, Ind ON them We're
written in various hndwritings brief
and meaningless mfsages, signed by
GEORGE and John and other single
names.
AS the reporter slrted out OF the
house, MIR. Wallace tavely asked linn:
Were there any manifestations" as
though he himself I'D not been pres
ent.
As the reporter I'D not seen what
he would have calld manifestations,
he hesltated. whenlthe distinguished
medium put his atstion In another
FORM thus:
Were there ay sounds: any
voices?"
OF course, as therhad been voices"
Mr.. Wallace receitd an affirmative
answer. As the netpaper man pass
ed through the frht door, the self
sacrificing trance Fedium called out,
In loud tone ofiolce to the land
lady:
'ls this the wa Texas men do
come to my seanceind go away With
out paying me? don't like such a
style"
He was very proptly informed that
the gentleman's dlar was the first
that entered the Schequer, and the
medium was leftoffering free
seance whenever THE gentleman
, would come.
During the comif weeks 1t is under
stood that such slnces may be seen
at all hours OF tn day and night at
the camp ground uTyler's Lake. Such
manifestations wiIdoubtiess convince
many searchers AFR truth, II Mr.. Wal
lace will only condicend TO remain and
: allow himself to BONE as well known
, in Fort Worth n he became in st.
; Louis something I've two years ago.
