BEELZEBUB At LARGE.
In Wad of Hair, Erorcised By
Priest and Witch Doctor.

Orange. Aug (specaD.-There is excitement
a-plenty and much making of the sign of the horns
in the Italian colony in Orange to-day. for witch
is loose and playing hob with the bellies of the
tlement. The witch" or devil has been ousted
from two girls to-day in the Church of Our Lady
of Mount Carmel. and the Italians watching
for the next victims. The girls who have been
possessed of devils are Cementna Carnizzo. seven
teen years old. and Rosina Russo. nineteen years
old, both of No. IL Hurlbut-st. They and all their
friends firmly believed that the devil and some Of
his attendant fends entered into their bodies. but
Dr. Frederick Lounge. Dr. John H. Bradshaw and
DR.. Giovanna Megaro. who have attended both,
diagnose the cases as hysterical commissions
The CaTnizzo girl was the first to be stricken.
She as under treatment for a month. after which
a witch doctor" was summoned to treat the
case. He successful to the of $50 and by
deft seight of hand trick succeeded in convincing
the awestricken onlookers that he had pulled a
large wad of hair out of the girls stomach. The
feat gave the friends much satisfaction and the
girl seemed relieved. Apparently the malady is
communicable. for the Russo GIRL who is a chum
of the Carnizzo girl became sick with the hysteria
and convulsions a few days ago. The witch
doctor" duplicated his interesting treatment with
the aid of $50 and wad of hair. and there was an
Improvement in both patients.
However. Clementina commenced to bark like
a dog and it was decided that she had "dog
devil" and Father Romaneli, rector of the Church
OF our Lady of Mount Carmel. was called in to
ordered the devil in the name of COD to get out as
and it is believed that the evil spirit is packing up
now for the girls had good nights sleep last
night after having had one two Commissions. and
to-day they seem much better Whether this is due
to the ministrations of Father Romaneln or to the
treatment previously employed by the physicians is
not known.
Dr. Lounge says it is simply Of hysterioal
condition. and the communication from one girl to
the other is merely phase of hysterical contagio
common In emotional people. The response the
treatment of the witch doctor was due to sug-
gestion by him. coupled with seeming tangible
proof. Nevertheless the Italians take the matter
very seriously and epidemic OF the cases is ex-
pected. The Carnizzo girl had her first convulsion.
1t is said. after an argument with her mother. If
such arguments predispose to the ailment IL is
extremely likely there will be big spread OF the
trouble.
