To the Editor of Tue Evento Star: The action of two citizens, who are men- tioned in Friday's Star as having reported to the District authorities the dangers they ex- perienced at an unguarded railroad crossing in this city, is both timely and public spirited, and the chief of police deserves the thanks of | th, the community for the firm stand he has taken in his recommendation to the Commissioners | in the matter. If every citizen who sees his own life, or the lives of his fellow-man, unnec- essarily and unlawfully endangered, were to make it his particular business to inform the municipal authorities of the facts at once, in order that they might act intelligently in the matter, human life would not so often be sac- in this city; and each individual, whether he be the happy and unconcerned bearer of a dinner-pail or the occupant of his own coach, would be respected as a component part of a vigilant and self-asserting public, that will not here itself to be quietly ae its rights to enjoyment of property and pro- teetion of life and limb. t this be so, fren must not every citizen feel that he is oe a sacred duty, which he owes to his fellow man, if he do not do this service on be- half of the general welfare, whenever he shall experience or witness sad disaster or narrow escape from danger, inflicted upon or threat- ening the innocent or the helpless through ha- bitual neglect, criminal recklessness, or wilful violation of protective laws.

Medium Brooks Says that the Fox Sis- ters Fell by the Way Years Ago, and Their Recantation Cannot Affect Spiritualism. “This is our funeral and we have to give the corpse a decent burial,” said Mr. George H. Brooks, sarcastically, in opening the meeting of spiritualists at Grand Army Hall last night. Ashe saidit he glanced smilingly at the vases of flowers on the altar and tables which stood on the platform. Mr. Brooks was about to answer the recantation of the Fox sisters, which was published in Tae Stara few days ago, and that was what he meant when he alluded to a funeral. There were about 150 people in the hall, mostly spiritual- ists, evidently. After some singing and a prayer, Mr. Brooks closed his eyes, to indicate, doubtless, that he had passed under spiritual influence, and began his answer to the Fox sisters’ recantation. The world, he declared, had been cention bythe falare of for the spiritual an orthodoxy, which taught the doctrine of an eternal hell and a personal devil, to rescue and lift up mankind from blind materialism. John Murray came to found Universalism, with a heaven large enough to hold all human kind, but Universalism likewise failed to stem the ever-rising tide of materialism. Then Mr. Brooka on to sketch the rise and development of spiritualism from the first mysterious which, forty-six years ago, muzzled the famify ‘and frien of the three ‘ox sisters in the little town of Hyde. He told how the mother of the girls overed the “spiritual intelligences” which caused the strange manifestations and how slowly hun- dreds and thousands had come to know and acknowledged the truths thus revealed. Com- munication havi thus been opened, as it were, with the pe world, from the simple rappings the manifestations became more and more complex and came in a hundred ways. MEDIUMS INCREASED IN NUMBER correspondingly, until now there was scarcely a household in the land which did not have a member of it susceptible to the influences or in which manifestations had not taken place. And in the face of all this, Mr. Brooks exclaimed, spiritualists were told that the so-called recan- tation of the Fox sisters in New York the other night had killed spiritualism. If all the medi- ums in the world recanted, it would not kill spiritualism. The orthodox religions of the world all had their saviors, and the world be- lieved that the Fox sisters were the saviors of spiritualism. There the world showed its ignor- ance, for no spiritualist believed anything of the kind. Indeed, for years spirit its knew that two of the Fox sisters, through luxury and failing to live up to their higher selves, had be- come dissolute women. e third, Mrs. Fox Underhill, was still as steadfast in the faith as arock. She had striven again and again to rescue her two sisters, Kate and Maggie, who had fallen by the way. She had endeavored to surround them with all coe influences, but her efforts were in vain. e girls went back to their old habits, he said, and less than a year ago one of them, Mrs. Jenkins,had been arrested _ a — and her two children were taken from her. THE SPEAKER BECOMES EXCITED. For years Spiritualists had not regarded these two sisters as of them, knowing that they had | entered the Catholic Church, and it was under Catholic influence that they had made their recantation. Of all the religions of the world the Catholic Church, the speaker said, most feared Spiritualism. It had used these Fox sisters in the hope of destroying Spiritualism. | At this point the speaker became quite impas- sioned, and warned his hearers to beware of | the Catholics, who were seeking to overthrow | our schools and our Government as well as | Spiritualism. In his excitement he struck a vase of flowers on the table beside him and | knocked it over, the water running to the floor in quite a stream. Continuing, the speaker took occasion to warn mediums against exhausting their pow- | ers, as the Fox sisters had done, leaving them- | selves in a weak condition physically and men- | tally, and unfit to combat temptation. He urged spiritualists to surround mediums with all good influences. The day had gone by when mediums could live bad lives and retain their standing. REPRIMANDING THE PRESS, Having warned his hearers against the church, Mr. Brooks gave a little attention to the press, which he said attacked and ridiculed spirit- ualists, and instead of feeding the higher na- ture of man, pandered to his lower ions. Later on in his speech he returned to the press, declaring that whereas in old times our fathers | used to believe implicitly everything they found rinted in their Bibles, their almanacs and eir weekly newspapers, nowadays a man could believe nothing he saw in print without danger of falling into grievous error. Spiritualists who were frightened by the “recantation” of the Fox sisters and sneaked back into the church, Brooks said, would be given good riddance by their brethren. Only steadfast men and women were wanted. Those who were converted in a moment to ee wouldn’t do; they never stuck. ‘he Fox sisters were no more than any other mediums, and the truth of spiritualism, attested through years of redicule and investigation and denunciation, could not be affected by their recantation any more than it had been by eir dissolute lives. Mediumship was no guarantee against bad morals. Anyway, if spiritualism ss at once, it had done this much: it had knocked the bottom out of hell. After Mr. Brooks sat down, Mr. Wolf made a few spirited remarks in defense of the truth of spiritualism, the doctrines of which he declared he had held before the Fox sisters had been heard of. He had long passed the allotted span of three-score-years-and-ten and his life had been full of fe or gas experiences that the re- cantation of all the mediums in the world could not affect. Then Mr. Brooks arose with his eyes open and diffidently alluded to the fact that he did not see as = flowers as before he closed them. He said he was Very sorry it had hap- 7 (alluding to his knoc! ing the vase over); e wished he could prevent it, but he really couldn't. Then he gave a “test” of medium- ship by touching the left hands of persons in the audience and attempting to tell them some- thing of their lives and character.

Mr. Collins and Mr. O'Reilly are reported as assuring the President that the Irish-American voters of the country would not be moved from their allegiance to the demo- cratic party by Lork Sackville’s foolish letter ; that the Irish-Americans of this country, while glorying in their hostility to England, voted as American citizens in accordance with what they believed would tend to the welfare of America ; that they had confidence in the President as a man who was a true American, making no dis- tinction between any class of citizens, and whose administration had been creditable and rofitable to the country, and they should vote for his re-election. The President thanked Messrs. O'Reilly and Collins for their kindly words and then informed them of what he had informed Senator Gorman, Senator Barnum, Congressman and Col. Price—that he had directed Mr. Phell to request Lord Salisbur} to recfl Lord Sack- ville. The President determined in doing this as cre teers ae having a ie 0] of properly ex; action ppeatn The letter, hed f d to do so. He is quoted further as saying that if Mr. West was not recalled within three days he would be given his passport. Mr. Collins, on his return to Boston after his visit to the President, is quoted as eg “Lord Sackville hates democracy with the hatred of a small mind. His relations with the Administration since the retaliation measure was exploded, have been exceedingly ined, and he has been on the most distant terms with the Secret of State. This I know of my own revtaors Bly President Cleveland acted before Blaine spoke on the subject, and a les- son was taught that will not soon be — The honor of the republic was ‘ded by him in this as in all other cases.” He said the sum- mer residence of Lord Sackville would not be at Beverly next year nor his winter home at Washington. MURCHISON NOT YET FOUND. A Los Angeles special to the New York Sun- day World declares that “Murchison,” the name of the man to whom Lord Sackville wrote his famous letter, is fictitious. It continues: ‘Apparently, there are only five persons who know who wrote the letter to Lord Sackville— | w, the writer of the letter; a friend, who copied it; Judge W. F. Fitzgerald, who sent a copy to the republican national committee, and who is a member of the republican state executive committee; Henry T. , @ lawyer of this city, who was one of ifornia’s delegates-at- large to the Chicago convention, and Col. H. G. Otis, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. Judge Fitzgerald said he could not tell who wrote it. He said he did not know about it until after Lord Sackville’s reply. had been re- ceived. Col. Otis emphatically denied that he or any member of his staff had been a party to the obtaining of Lord Sackville’s letter. He says he is not personally acquainted with the writer, but knows that he is a citizen of Po- mona, and is held in good repute. Mr. Gi was even more reticent than Judge Fitzgerald and Col. Otis, He said: “I do not say that Ido or do not know anything about it. Iam an at- torney, and as such I may bear peculiar rela- tions to this matter. Such relations may ac- count for my reticence.” 18 IT PATRICK EGAN? The Louisville Courier-Journal’s Omaha cor- respondent telegraphs that Patrick Egan, ex- president of the Irish National League, is the author of the Murchison letter to Minister West. The information of the correspondent comes from a et republican editor, who says that the scheme was arranged last August and was prematurely sprung, the orig- inal intention being to make it public next Wednesday. ——____—-+e0_______ Another Lone Stage Robber.

The robber was a short, thick-set man. oe ee Fulmer and Wm. D. Wyant, of the United States Army, were amon; the ngers, as was also Fred W. Fruitt, of J. L, Angles & Co., New Orleans. These gen- tlemen were made to hold up their hands and were searched. The robber got 35 from Mr. Wyant besides other valuables. The driver was vere oes to get down from his seat and was robbed. All the occupants were made to take off their wearing apparel. The robber had a pistol and a Winchester rifle. He was an American. He opened Mr. Fruitt’s watch to find the time and then ee it back. One a senger saved a roll of bills by concealing them in a soiled handkerchief, which was offered to the robber. ——_—-+oe______ Emma Abbott’s Fortune. From the Chicago Herald. Five years ago Emma Abbott bought a piece of real estate in Denver and put up ‘The Ab- bott Block.” Since then the value of the prop- erty has quadrupled. Emma is now worth three-quarters of a million of dollars, and it is invested so that it brings her in over 10 per cent. Her income from her rents is about | }, $75,000 a year, and she adds nearly $10,000 to that as the profit from her season’s work. It hag been claimed that she was getting too fat for symmetry, but who wouldn't get fat with such results to contemplate? When she was a country school teacher in Peoria County and had to walk 10 miles to the city every Saturday night she was thin enough. gesaclieroemnting 2 0p earl The Czar Again in Danger. 4 COSSACK WAITS FOR THE IMPERIAL TRAIN WITH EXPLOSIVES ON HIS PERSON.

Getting Even with Mrs. Cleveland for Snubbing His Daughter. From the Philadelphia Times. There are many things to indicate that the position of Lord Sackville at Washington bas been irksome to him for a long time, and that mality with which he has everywhere been re- ceived almost since ‘he came to this country. He is astrange man, with two idiosyncrasies that peculiarly unfit him for anything approach- ing popularity in this counfry. One isan ex- alted notion of the importance of family and title, and the other a latitudinarian disregard of the conventionalities, especially those of the that in this country, without an ee. ee ee and . i ierramnallsn ks bho eoseatier tases est to hians as the nt head of the De La Warrs, whom the river and bay take take their names, When he came to country, instead of one of the New York steamers, he came on one of the National Line in order to sail up the bay to which his ances- tor gave his name a century anda half ago. All who met Lord Sackville, then Sir Lionel Sackville-West, on that occasion were impressed with his hauteur, his narrowness and his gen- erally unpleasant British iarities. The présent complication is really a social as well as a political one, and it will possibly be found in the end that the social aspect of the relation of Lord Sackville and his family with the President and members of the Cabinet and their wives may have led up to this climax. It is curious also that social questions have been involved in several of the changes that have taken place before in Lord Sackville’s diplo- matic life. Shortly after his ap; ein Washington, when it became known that his eldest hter was — over and would preside at his house, official socity was stag- gered by the discovery that the young ladies were daughters of different mothers and that Minister West had never been legally married. This representative of the queen, with utter in- dependence of the ordi conventionalities, while accepting and educating these daughters, born in the different countries where he had rep- resented her majesty’s government, had declin- ed to ree: ir mothers. Asa result,official society in Washin; deliberated whether it could recognize either Minister West or the yo ladies who, through no fault of their ‘own, he had placed in this position. The conclusion arrived at appears to have been to tolerate them and accept them “offi- cially,” but no further. At the reception which Minister West gave soon after his arrival Mrs, Hayes consented to stand by the side of Miss est. Yet not then nor since has Minister West or any member of his household received from any of the ladies of the successive Cabi- nets any such social place as was ee instance, to Lady Thornton while there. t Garfield studiously ignored them. President Arthur, Loar widower, was shea ee posed, and his attentions to Miss West were ai one time so marked as to be the occasion of much gossip at the capital. i With the advent of Mrs. Cleveland in the White House the social status of Minister West and the Misses West in official circles com- pletely and wholly collapsed. She refused, per- emptorily and uncompromisingly, to have any- thing to do with them socially. This was gall and wormwood to Lord Sackville, and it is un- doubtedly to this circumstance that is owing more than anything else the departure of the Misses West for Europe. In this view of the case Lord Sackville’s letter assumes the nature of a Parthian shot. ———— +0 _—__ Congressman Finley’s Escape. HIS CARRIAGE CARRIED DOWN A STREAM AND HIS COMPANION, JUDGE TARTAR, DROWNED. A Louisville, Ky,. special to the Philadelphia Press, October 27, says: Congressman Finley, one of Kentucky’s republican members of the ‘House, had a narrow escape from drowning yes- terday by the upsetting of a buggy in Pittman Creek, Pulaski County, and a companion, Judge Tartar, lost hislife.

Congressman ay, gives the following account of the mis- a) “We arrived at the creek heron and I saw that it was past fording and advised Judge Tar- tar not to to cross. He said there was no danger.

The progress of the Manitoban revolt against the monopoly of the Canadian Pacific is watched here with a good deal of interest, and, despite the fact that all the reports come from Toronto and are strongly biased in favor of the Domin- ion, such English opinion as I gather is + favor of Manitoba.

LORD SACKVILLE DENOUNCED IN LONDON. The New York World's London dispatches of Sunday say: Nobody has a good word for Lord Sackville. He is soundly berated by the press and the people as a stupid man who has been led into an unpardonable blunder. The St. James’ Gazette calls on the govern- ment to recall Sackville at once or to allow him toretire.

WHITEHEAD I8 AN ADVANCED RADICAL AND A FOLLOWER OF MB, GLADSTONE. From the New York World. Alderman Jas, Whitehead, the newly-elected lord-mayor of London, is an advanced radi- cal in politics, and he has amassed a large for- tune as the proprietor of the great fancy goods store in Kensington known as “Barker's,” where, according to popular report, it is possi- ble to purchase every imaginable article, from @ bicycle down to a second-hand coffin. Born fifty-four years ago, the lord-mayor is an active, energetic-looking man, and was edu- cated at the Appleby grammar school. He has twice unsuccessfully contested a division of Westmoreland against the Hon. W. Lowther. He was elected alderman of Cheap Ward in 1882 on the death of Alderman Breffit and served the office of sheriff of London in 1884- 1885. It is needless to add that the conserva- tives are intensely disgusted at the idea of see- ing a follower of Mr. Gladstone and sepa of the Irish home-rule doctrine established at the Mansion House, and great pressure was put to secure the election in his stead of Sir Henry the next alderman in rotation. The at- tempt, however, was , and Mr. Whitehead, who is personally very popular, was duly chosen by the liverymen. in- auguration of the lord mayor-elect will take plsce, in accordance with traditional usage, on jovember 9 next, and it will be curious to see whether the tory cabinet ministers will consent to put in an appearance at the banquet in the evening at the Mansion House, as they have been in the habit of doing in past years. The Chesapeake and Ohio Wreck. THE DISASTER DUE TO A MISPLACED SWITCH, WHICH IT IS THOUGHT WAS PURPOSELY OPENED. A Baltimore Sun special from Charleston, W. Va., gives the following additional details of Saturday morning’s wreck on the Chesa- dispatches Saturday. A train due here at 4:36 a. m., but half an hour late, struck the switch, which was , and ran over the embankment, open. drawing after it the tender, . two coaches and a Pullman sleeper’ Two of the passenger coaches telescoped, the stove was upset in the baggage-car, and in a very few moments the car was on fire. The flames ex- tended to the other coaches, but before any one was injured, other than the fireman, the mg ose about fifty in number, escaped. e flames gained such headway that it was impossible to save the mail and baggage. Fire- man John G. Elkins had in some way been wedged in the cab and could not get out. The intense heat drove off the would-be rescuers, and after the fire died outa portion of the body was taken out of the ruins. Search was continued, and a ion of a dead body, which was identified as that of Conductor W. A. Neth- erland, was discovered. Netherland, when last seen, was working to save the imprisoned fire- man. Halman Scofield, a Russian, was hurt so badly that he may die. ' None of the Pamengers saved any baggage, es it was destroyed. It is believed the switch was intentionally misplaced by some miscreant with the intention of caus- ing a disaster. A royal commission has been issued, in Que- bec, to Dennis Murray, justice of the , ine structing him to inquire into the cl of “boodling” in connection with the awar of a contract for the construction of @ new aque- duct by the council of that city five or six years ago.
