sPRINGLAKE PARK.

The reporter was out at the park
last night. There was a good big
crowd there, the word having been
passed down the line that a seance
of local spiritulists would hold a
charmed circle at the park.
When the reporter made his ap-
pearance, there were some one
hundred of both sexes, little and
big, gathered around and at the
mouth of aroughly constructed box
room, and a score or more ranged
around on the outside, with their
eyes glued to cracks in the wall
1t was 9 o'clock before the gen
tleman medium made his bow be-
fore the assemblage, and he talked
on spiritulism for awhile As we
are not a believer iE the super
natural, and being quite deafin one
ear, and can't hear but very little
out of the other, and somewhat
moon-eyed, we lost all of this lee
ture, and taking into consideration
that the manager weighs 25O pounds
and owns brick yard and knows
how to throw bricks. we shall not
even guess at what he said or try
and tell what we saw or did not see.
In fact we wish TO say that we did
not linger about spirit hill" long,
but got a good seat close to ham,
mock, where we saw a gentleman
youth with lady youthess, enjoy
ing the exhilerating affects the ossi-
lating movements of the swing.
OF course the young man had to
hold the young lady in, for ten
cent hammock is as treacherous- as
a bucking politician.
We heard a group of people talk
ing, who had "peep hole" privi-
lege on the 'seance, and they said
they did not see any spirits, but
they were satisfied they were around
for they smelled one on fellows
breath. Just at this, we heard a
lady say on passing: 81 was on a
front seat and saw a shadow spirit
of lady, but do not know whether
it was made by natural or super
natural lady, but saw it just as
hard. "
The crowd broke up, and very
little was said by those who had
seats in view of the cabinet, and we
shall not deal further with the mat
ter
During the evening and at night,
some five or six hundred visited the
park, and amused themselves
watching the little fellows coasting
down the "chute" on slides, and
disappearing under the water
There were some twenty-five boys
in the lake, and they all seemed to
be having as much fun, and was as
much at home in the water, as
would have been a flock of geese.

ler's Caustic Remarks.

Judge Miller late yesterday afternoon
decided to hold for the grand jury William
ii. Bateman, alias Wecse, and a. A. Bowen,
the two men who have been working an
alleged directory swindle on the Washing
ton business men, the details OF which nave
already been set forth in The Times.
After the report Of the trial closed in the
Evening Times yesterday Mr.. Joseph Shil-
lington, counsel for the defendants, after
reviewing the evidence, argued that there
was not sufficient proof to hold the ac'
cused and moved their discharge.
He said this was more than pain in. the
case of Bowen, whose completely had not
been proven by the government. Mr.. Shil-
lington was asked by the court If Bowen
desired to make Il statement. Counsel
turned to the defendant and asked him his
wishes.
Certainly, l WILL responded Bowen,
taking the stand. Handsome and splcndidy
dressed, he was the most prcpossessng
man who has appeared i'll the police court
for many day. He had the grace AMI
se!f-possession of man of the world,
speaking with refinement and ease, and
bearing none of the trade marks Of a crook,
which the detectives declare he is.
EOwEN ON THE STAND.

he said, a smile on his blonde face and his
blue eyes shineing clearly through his
pebble glasses, land left there Sunday
for San Francisco. ] am in bad health

The judged gazcd at him curiously, no
ticing his full chest, broad shoulders, ana
generally healthy appearance.
Why did you come to Washington then:
did you buy your ticket for California;"
asked the court.
"Ah, l shall exp,ain,'' returned Bowen,
tracing u pattern with his white, sr!'
municured fingers on the blue cloth oI the
Judges desk
My wife gave me the money" and he
laughed softly as If he rather enjoyed the
recollection OF her goodness, land instead
of leaving New York at once | fingered
around several days and foolishly spent a
good deal of it. Then came to Wash
iugton thinking ! could telegraph her for
more, intending TO say as an excuse that
lost my money on the races here"
In Il word, you intended to fool your
Wife, said the judge dryly.

precaiingly, II intended to fool my Wife
