Ingersoll Again Heard From.

Spiritualistic mediums all over the
country are busily arranging for ex
exclusive conversations with tho late
Col. Bob. lngersoll, but TO DR. VIII
liam Franks. of New York, belongs
the distinction of having had the first
communication in that city from the
spirit world with the great agnostlc.
Dr.. Franks's conversation with the
late Col. Ingersoll is said to have oc
CURED Monday about noon following
his death. Among those present NJ
tho seance were Charles Broadway
Rouss, Charles Davis, who was form
erly Col. Ingersolps lecture agent,
aud former Judge from Brooklyn,
and Dc. Franks's press agent says
there WAS also a former mayor Of
New York in the party.
Immediately on the party entering
the Doctors ollico Dr.. Franks went
INTO trance without any premedIta-
ton. The doctor told his auditors
that he could SEQ the form Of Colonel
lngersoll very plainly. Tho Col told
the doctor that he was much wOrrle d
about two letters which had engross-
od his mind for days before ne died.
ono Of these was letter which he
expected to receive from Archbishop
Corrigan in reply to note which he
had sont To the archbishop asking
him these two questions:-"W Why
should man 60 to another man to
confess his sinsf "Why should he
not.go directly to God, if thoro is a
God9' Col Ingersoll told DR.. Franks
during his trance that the failure OF
Archbishop to reply to these ques.
tons was worrying him greatly. He
said that he found his state Of OK
lstonce in the other world far from his
aniicipallons He seemed to be com
Portable. The laws of the spirit
world, however, forbade him taking
DR.. Franks as fully into his conf
dence as he could wish, but he prom
lsed when he became more
accustomed to his surround
ings to speak moro in detail.
DR.. Franks explained to his auditors
that Col Ingersoll was satisfied that
death was not the end, bat he was
right in his contention that there was
no hell.
Col. Iugersol also told DR.. Fran ks
that he was worried great deal
about his will DR.. Franks saw the
will in his dream. He WAS unable to
divulgc the contents, but it was in
hidden drawer in large desk. Col.
Iugersoll explained to DR. Frank that
he was afraid his family would not
know where the will was secreied.
Col IngersC II then went into some
details with DR.. Franks as 10 what he
was doing in the spirit world. DIR
Parker, Of London. whom he had also
me, in life, had told him since they
met IN the spirit land that he, Dr.
Par ker, had realized the falsity Of many
things which be had taught There
was a Rev. John Tilley, Of Biltimore,
whom Ingersoll had met on earth sew
eral times Since meeting DR.. Tilley
again in the spirit land the Baltimore
divine recanted many Of the things he
had taught during life, and admitted
that he had altered his views mater
tally.
Ingersoll promised to take DR. Franks
more fully into his confidence az soon
as the laws Of the spirit world would
permit and 10 make further revelations
regarding his controversy with Arch
bishop Corrigan over the confessional
