"SeVENGALA'S" SUBJECT.
Albert Pyne, the Sleeper, Tells About
Mack's Hynotizing Fake.

From the Wikcsbarre Record.
Albert Pyne, the young man who was
with Walter Mack, late manager of
Music Hall in this city, has returned to
his home in this city. Pyne was the
subject who after being 'hypnotzed''
by Mack, or "Seyengala," his stage
name, was laid IN a store window in the
town in which the show was given, and
remained in that position until he was
awakened by Mack.
Pync continued to be Mack's sleeping
subject until after the engagement at
Bradford, and was left stranded there.
He followed Mack to Niagara Falls and
demanded his back salary, 500 Pyne
had Mack arrested on IL charge of at
tempting to dcfraud the people, alleging
that he was not hypnotSt and that all
his feats We're fakes of the first water.
At the first hearing l'yne was on the
stand over two hours, during which he
told how Mack managed his subjects.
and stated that each one was paid for
appearing on the stage and that they
were instructed to 20 through the same
movements as performed by young
man who travelled with the show.
The trial lasted four days before JUS
tIce Parker, who, Pyne says, held Mack
in $500 bail for court.
Before the trial ended Mack offered
Pyne, so the latter says, $40 to settle
the case and get out of town, but Chief
of Police Dinan said the case must 90
through. When it was finished Mack
had Pyne arrested for eXtortion, but the
latter says when the case was called the
prosecutor failed to appear.

CINCINNATI, O.. Dec. 3l.-The start
ling developments to-day about last
nights wreck was the confession of Fred
Droege. the operator at Storr's station
in Cincinnati, that he was to blame for
the wreck. He visited Superintendent
Rawn Of tho Baltimore and Ohio South
western and said that the train dis
patcher at Washington, Ind, asked him
II the Louisville express No. 10, had
passed his station. He answered that it
had not.
The fact WAS No. 10 had gone by.
Orders were then given to the st. Louis
accommodation, No. 8, coming east to
meet No. 10 at Delhi, eleven miles
west of Cincinnati. The Washington,
Ind, office soon learned that No. 10 had
passed Delhi. Then no knew that q
head end collision was inevitable and
told Storr's station to prepare wrecking
train at once, which was done. The
collision occurred in q curve at Coal
City, fourteen miles west OF Cincinnati.

A Suggestion.

Nothing that our new council could do
as an initial act would be more appar-
ent in It's results, il properly enforced,
than the adoption of some measure to
prevent the throwing Of loose paper on
the streets in the business part of town.
During the stiff breezes of Monday the
square and streets entering it were a
mess of floating, rolling papers.
Many people who had come to town on
business were loathe to leave their teams
after hitching, as the papers driven by
the wind around their feet threatened to
create a panic among the horses stand
ing on the north side Of the square.
Now that the pleasant weather has dis
pensed with fires, and paper and rubbish
cannot be burned as readily as in win
ter, something should be done for the
care of the same. A few boxes with
covers painted for appearance sake
could be placed at intervals along the
streets occupied by stores, into which
those who have no other means Of dis
posing Of their waste should be conf
PEELED to deposit same, and it should be
the duty of the street commissioner to
see that the boxes are Cmptied.
A waste basket placed in the lobby Of
the pOstOflce would also receive much
that is now dumped on the sidewalks
by patrons Of the Office, who remove
wrappers from papers and magazines
as taken from the office. Health, neat
ness, and safety to those who drive on
our streets it appears to us demand
some such action by our new council.

an anecdote the younger ones had never
heard. In behalf Of the lodge he was
presented with beautiful diploma in a
handsome frame. After Mr.. Kinks re-

by announcing refreshments, and finer
lunch need never be looked for. All

The case of I. F. Rodhouse VS.. C. T.
Ely, assignee Of the late firm of Laun-
don, Windecker & Co., to marshal liens,
was heard last week, and decided in
favor of the defendant.
On the day of the assignment, which
took place July 2, 1895, the firm had
about $7,400 that had been received
from depositors, and in order to protect
their Interests in full or to make them
preferred creditors, T. f. Rodhouse was
named as trustee or agent for the
depositOrs, and mortgage was made to
him by the firm in their favor. Had
there been no objections, the assignee
would upon settling up the affairs
disbursed the S7,4O0 to the deposi-
torsfrst, ,thenOf the unexpended balances,
distribute among the common creditors,
but unless there is an appeal taken and
the decision reversed, the depositors will
receive no more than the balance Of the
creditors.
