MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Monkexing with Spirits.

I "Two hours with the spirits" was the
amusement for those who attended the
performance of Miller Bros. at O'Brien's
last night.
The performance was of the kind to
suit the superstitious, and came very
near converting others not the least skep-
teal The alleged mediums invited sew
eral gentlemen in the audience to come
upon the stage and inspect the cabinet,
smong them being a reporter of the State
Herald. The latter busted himself In
looking for holes in the curtain surround
ing the cabinet and for a trap door in the
floor, neither of which he found.
One of the mediums was tied, hands,
and feet to a chair and while the curtain
was closed removed his coat, threw 1t
over the top of the canvas and was re-
vealed attired in the other coat. In
few moments heswas arrayed in his own
garb, and had thrown the other over the
top of the canvas.
He also, while tied, reversed the coat
and vest of a well-known gentleman
whose hands were fastened behind him
with a Birmingham police officers hand
cuffs The cuffs were then fastened by
the officer on the mediums wrists, and
by him removed while the officer retained
@the key. A very good test of mind read
ing was also given.
The alleged mediums are clever in their
work, as the newspaper man was very
positive that no one entered the cabinet
while they were on the inside.
The appearance of reputed spirits on
the stage closed the performance. Ihe
critic is very much inclined to the opln-
ion that legerdemain was resorted to- but
of a very clever character.
.sThe American Girl
Tomorrow night and Saturday at mat
inee and evening 1.-THE American Girl
will be produced The Toronto Globe
said of the performance:
1.-The American Girl" a comedy-drama
of two continents, was presented by a
first-class company at the Toronto opera
house last evening. The drama is cast in
in the lines known to all frequenters OF
the Toronto, but it was none the less en-
pertaining, as it introduced several char
acters which were new to the stage. Mr..
Albert Roberts as Boss Bolton, typical
American, was well received. In the sec
ond act a drinking scene is represented,
and he proposes the toast, at which the
whole house warmly applauded. The
part of the American Girl is taken by
Miss Helen Robertson, woman whose
face and figure has been made familiar
to magazine readers by the artist,
Charles Dana Gibson. She displays rare
dramatic power In the situations which
called upon her genius, and we'll deserved
the flattering reception which she re
ceived. Sadie Hardy Is a clever comedi-
enne and the two little ladies, Mabel TAI
iaferro and Luella Shirley captured the
audience with their natural acting.

at a hall in McAdoo last night for 500 a side
and tho gate receipts. The latter amounted
to SIS. About 200 people were present,
Meyers weighed 1O3 pounds and Vaughn l07.
The former seemed to have slightly the best
of the contest, but in the sixth round a
crowd broke into the ring and the referee
declared the fight a draw, dividing the stakes
and gate money, James Collins, Of Halle
ton, was the referee. Ellis Lewis, of town,
served as time keeper. While the fight was
in progress a large crowd outside made
demonstrations because the free list was sus-
pended and a shot was fred through a
window into the hall, but nobody was hit.
1t was this crowd that broke into the ring
and stopped the fight.

Y~EsTERDAY STORM.

wind ana Lightning Cause Trouble at
Many Points.
The storm of last evening was the most
violent Of the season and did considerable
damage in this county. The vicinity of
Ha2leton also suffered. At one period during
the storm the wind attained a velocity of So
miles an hour. Many places down the
Schuylkill and Lehigh valleys suffered. A
barn on Nathan Deibert's farm below

fired. 1t was totally destroyed. One horse
persisted. The fair grounds at Orwigsburg

stable, stunning three horses. At Mines
vile the NJ. L. church was struck. The bolt
entered the gable end and then passed down
the belfry, badly wreckiug the interior. The
damage will amount TO several hundred
dollars. At Stockton No. 7 lightning struck
the house occupied by William Mumaw, dam
aging the building and stunning the in
mates. Two bolts also followed the rope
down into the mine, but were broken before
doing any damage, The traction line was
perhaps the greatest sufferer. For fully one
hour and u half traffic had 10 be suspended.
At Miluesville the car was struck by lightning,
totally disabling it and burning out the
motors. one car between Ebervale and Free
land and two on the south side met with q
similar fate, Fortunately in each case no
one was injured.
During the storm last night lightning
struck a house on Gloyer's Hill occupied by
a family named Inks and passing from the
roof to the ground tore big patches OF
weather boards off.
The chimney of a house at Lost Creek, oc-
cupied by the family of Michael Marley, was
struck, It was taken clean OF the roof.
Two trees in the yard of DR.. Brady's resi-
dence at Lost Creek were shattered by a

At $50 o'clock this morning a well dressed
young man dashed along Pear alley, Oak
street and out Jardin street, in the direction
of the Columbia Hose Company's head
quarters and people anXiously watched his
fight, believing that he was running to the
hose house to give an alarm of fire. But the
Splinter continued his flight out Jardin street
and disappeared over the rocks at the southern
end. Subsequent developments showed
that the young man was William
Diehl, alias BILLY, the Wild Cat and that
he was ii fugitive from justice. Diehl was
employed at William Neiswenter's stables
for some time, but left this town after falling
heir to a little money left by a relative at
Allentown. A few weeks ago he returned
here well dressed and displaying a wad Of
bills. Accommodations were furnished hin
at Martin Shelters hotel. He stayed there
two weeks and then disappeared without
making settlement. This morning he was
arrested at Ringtown by Constable Phillips
and while the officer went to notify Mr.,
Sheeler Of the arrest Diehl was left in Justice
Lawlor's office. The latter official was en-
gagged III writing when the wild Cat
slipped out of the office and made tracks for
parts unknown. He is a shrewd chap and
little hopes Of a recapture are entertained.

stuff is so nearly like the genuine that even
experts have been deceived by it. A teller
at one Of the banks and nearly every business

counterfeit has a genuine ring, is perfect in
appearance, and only lacks in weight. This
is so slight that scales have to detect the
difference. Detectives are puzzled to locate
