LABORERS AT mercy

New Orleans, June THE case of

an office in the Wells Fargo building,
who is charged with garnisheefng a
laborers' wages to collect interest on
a debt, will come this morning before
Judge Fisher in the First City Crimi-
nal Court. Through his counsel, Hey
man has had his trial postponed sew
eral times, but it is probable that he
will appear in court.
Heyman, who is said to make a
practice of lending money at high
rates of interest, did not violate the
law until he caused John Mangon,
then employed by the Boylan Agency,
to lose his position by garnisheeing
the mans wages. Morgan sets forth
that he borrowed 500 from Heyman
and paid back nineteen in small sums
at different times. Then Heyman in

Buffalo, n. Y, June Put me off

spooks, spirits, "hants, disembodied
souls and hobgoblins in all the grave
yards of New York state today. The
ghostly visitation is due to the open
ing here today of the annual meeting
of the New York State Spiritualists'
Association. Scores of mediums are
here, and wherever mediums and clair
voyants are gathered there is a de-
mand for spooks, if the obsequies are
to have the proper amount of eclat.
Besides the professionals, numerous
amateur mediums and true believers
are assembled here to remain for the
sessions of three days, during which
period they are promised some re-
markable examples of spirit phe-
nomena." Modern Spiritualism orig
mated in this state, at Rochester,
where the Fox sisters were the first
to hold community with the dear de-
parted, and, despite many exposures
of fraud and impositions, the cult still
has numerous followers.
