BUSH'S SHOCKING FATE,
A Young Man Impaiod by the Limb of q
Falling Tree.
to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose. April 5.-On Friday after
noon Harrison Darrow, farmer liv-
ing about two miles east Of Montro%a,
felled a huge Maple tree. Imagine his
surprise and horror when in trimming
the smaller branches to find a man
named Bush, son of Caleb Bush, who
he employed, impaled by a broken
limb. Darrow cut away the branches
IS soon as possible and brought Bush
to Montrose where DR.. Gardner, after
a careful examination. pronounced life
extinct. 1t Is supposed that death was
instantaneous. Bush had been engaged
in other work about the farm and Dar-
row did not know Of his presence when
the tree fell.
The fact that Bush was very deaf
prevented him from hearing the creak-
ing of the tree as it was about to fall,
otherwise he would have had an on
portunity to escape. Darrow's grief
over the unfortunate accident is be-
yond description.

STRIKE THREATENED.
The Discharge Of Nino Gripnau OF tho

May Cause Tic.up on the Lines.
New York. April 5.-The danger of a
strike on the street railway lines Of
this city. which are owned by the
Metropolitan Street Railway company,
because Of the discharge Of nine grip
men and a conductor, was by no means
lessened today. The railway employees
persist in the assertion that the men
We're discharged because of their activ-
ity in the affairs of the local branch
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees of America,
notwithstanding that the Metropolitan
cOmpany's officials statement that the
reason for dismissing the gripmen and
conductor was that they had disobeyed
the rule prohibiting them from enter
ing saloon during working hours.
There was some very determined talk
in and around Clarendon hall this Of
ternoon by employees of the railway COM
pany and 1t was declared that unless
the discharged men were, reinstated
there would certainly be strike.
At the meeting Of the Central Labor
union In Clarendon hall this afternoon
a delegation, consisting of one employe
from each Of the reads Of the Metro
politan system, werep resent, and they
was accorded them in executive ses-
sion. The spOkeman stated the griev-
ance and asked for sympathy and ad-
vice. The reporters were informed af-
ter the meeting that speakers for the
Central Labor union had counselled the
railway men to move very slowly and
had very decidedly thrown cold water
upon the eagerness Of many of them to
strike If the Metropolitan company fail
ed to fully comply with their demands.
c w. Archibald and Thomas McCul-
lum, Of Philadelphia, who came to this
city and organized the local branch of
the National Amalgamated association,
said today that there was nothing new
to be said until after consultation with
William d. Mahon, president of the Ma
tional association, who, they expected
would shortly arrive in this city from
Detroit.
1t was rumored this afternoon that
officials Of the Metropolitan company
had signified their willingness to rein.

THE HYPNOTIC STATE.

'That is all very interesting, Pro-
fessor Baldwin. but aren't you wander
ing from the point? What ] would like
to know. Is how the hypnotic state is
produced, and the results that you OBJ
tain from the subject are secured"
Again the performer laughed and
went on: mo. I'll get there in a little
while. The longest way round Is the
shortest way home sometimes, you
have to be pulled to make what little I
know of the subject clear. Perhaps I
was in danger Of being side-tracked for
a time, though. am so full of the SUBJ
ject that I could talk all night.
1T is only a few years ago. not more
than twenty-five or thirty, at the most,
when almost every one sneered at mes
merism and hypnotism as being merely
terms expressing a peculiar kind. or
class, of humbug. Now almost every
person of any intelligence admits the
existence Of hypnotism and mesmeric
forces. 1t Is only few years ago that
nine hundred and ninety-nine medical
and scientific men out of every thousand
Scoffed at these forces. as being purely
hypothetical and fancied powers. which
some misguided cranks imagined that
they possessed. Now they all unreserv-
edly admit the reality of hypnotic and
mesmeric powers and conditions. No
one but an arrogant ignoramus will pre-
tend at this day that hypnotism is a
fake. Hypnotism and mesmerlsm are
not identical, though they have many
points In common--but If go into that,
you will never get an answer to your
question.
FOUR DEGREES.
"There are four stages or degrees of
the mesmeric control. First the par
tial degree, In which the subject Is inn
perfectly under the power of the opera
tor. In this stage most Of the mental
faculties retain all or a great portion
of their activity. or the physical
senses, the vision is unusually weak

fected. In the second. or sleep st7 ge,
