Revelation at a Public Seance
Wednesday Evening.
Medium Gravendyke Receives
an Unwelcome Surprise.
CALLS UP A GHOST.
f. J. Kellogg Grabbed Its Arm
as 1t Approached.
Strong Enough to Jerk From
His Grasp.

There was a Spiritualistic seance at
521 Van Buren, street last evening at
which the alleged medium came to
grief. The seance was public in its
nature and was attended by about a
dozen persons. The medium was H. H
Cfravendyke, who recently came here
from Denver. The circle was duly form
ed and the lights turned down before
the medium retired to his cabinet. He
gave the company instructions that
they were not to break the circle nor
to breathe upon the spirit when it ap-
peared or the result might be d1SaS-
trous to himself. This was perfectly
true.
After the usual throwing of articles
out of the cabinet the alleged spirit of
a relative of one of the ladies in the
circle appeared and placed its finger on
the head of the lady. Next to the lady
he discerned in the Shadowy form some
thing more than a mere spirit. He was
so firmly convinced of this belief that
he suddenly broke the circle and grab
bed the alleged spirit by the arm. The
arm proved to be flesh and blood, and
the spirit suddenly developed consider
able muscle, so much so that it jerked
away from Mr.. -KellOggs grasp and
made a dash for the cabinet. In doing
this it ran against a lady who was
standing up and knocked her over into
a chair
The action of Mr. Kellogg brought
the seance to an abrupt termination,
as the spirit was not in good form to
appear again. Mr.. Kellogg was CEN
sured by some of the Spiritualists pres
ent, some of whom expressed surprise
that he was not stricken dead by his
rash act. In explanation of what he
did he said he thought it the duty of
all true Spiritualists to expose fraud
wherever it NAV be found.

GREAT ALARM
Caused by Throwing of Letter Into
Victoria's Carria ge.

London, Aug. 24.@ConsiderabIe alarm
was created yesterday evening by
mans throwing a letter into Queen
VictOrias carriage as she was driving
into Osborne, Isle of Wight. A rumor
spread to the effect that the letter con-
tanned an explosive, but this turned
out to be false. The police arrested
the man, whose letter was only an ap-
peal to her majesty to secure for him
new trial of a civil suit, which he
recently lost.
The prisoner was found to be a Ger
man, who was not aware that his ac-
ton was against the law. AS it was
evident that he had no intention to do
harm the man was released.
The queen was surprised when the
letter fell into her lap, but she be-
trayed no alarm.

vey has brought a suit in the district

There was an animated discussion
concerning joints in the office of the
state treasurer yesterday 1t was in
dulged in by the bond clerks. 1t was
a marvellous exhibition of knowledge
concerning joints in the state. The in
formation which was divulged was be-
1ieved to emanate from a source used
by the State Temperance union or an
examination of the books of a Kansas

One clerk talked about the amount
of money invested in joints; another

1t is feared the work Of Clara Bar

almost at an end, says the Boston
Transcript. This has been known
among her friends and relatives at
Worcester. where she was born and
reared, for some time. although they
have until now preserved the utmost
secrecy relative to the letters they
had received from her whle she was
in Cuba.
Letters received on Friday from
Miss Barton by her nephew, John IL.
Stafford, of Oxford, a small village
about six miles from Worcester,
stated that she had returned from
Cuba so utterly broken down in
health as to be absolutely untitled
for any moro active work at present.
She had been not only engaged IN ar
duous labor during her stay in Cuba,
but had been planning in an elabo p
rate way for educational work among
the children of that island, and had
cherished ambitious hopes in that
direction. She intimates that her
disappointment in that direction is
far greater than any physical suffer
ing that might come to her
Her sister, Mrs. j. II. Stafford, who
has been visiting her III New York
since her return, writes that Miss
Barton has grown old in appearance
to an alarming degree since she last
met her, LITTLE over year ago.
Miss Barton herself acknowledges
that her work in Cuba during the
hot season has been more trying and
difficult than any that she has even
before engaged in.

Back to Ireland After Long Absence.


Among the passengers landed by
the Cunard liner Umbria at Queens
town recently was the interesting
eentenarian, Alice Mcmahon, who
left America to return to her native
Ireland after an absence of a
century. These who saw her at
Queenstown says that although her
face is wrinkled to an extent which
shows that age is abnormal, she has,
at lO5 years Of age, not gray hair
in her head. She thoroughly enjoyed
her passage home, escaping all
sea. sickness, whilst her appetite was
as good ss it was twenty years ago.
Miss Mcmahon, for she is a spinster,
and disclaims ever possessing sweet
heart, was taken to America with
her brothers and sisters when she
was four years old, but nearly all her
people are now dead, except a neice
who travelled with her. A brother
of hers lived to q ripe old age, but
did not reach her exceptional years
Of Ave score and FIVE. Her idea in
returning to Ireland was to satisfy q
sentiment that she might end her
days in her native land and be buried
besides her relation, Canon Mcmahon
The old woman was very much
moved when informed that she had
reached the country of her desire, and
the passengers among whom she had
been the object of much interest
during the voyage, cheered her when
abe landed.
