Rockwell, the wealthy Mwrocco manufacturer, at his mansion, No, 4 Mon- tague Terrace, Brooklyn Heights, from diphtheria and scarlatiua, has aroused considerable comment among the health authorities as to the cause of the prevalence of the contagious diseases in question in that aristo- cratic and generally healthy locality. The house, which was built about three. years ago, under the personal supervision of the deceased gentleman, was supplied with all the modern improvements in the way of plumbing and other work. It is the opinion, however, of the Health Board that sewer gas isin some manner chargeable with the prevalence ot the diseases named. The gases rise fro the Furman street sewer and the river vent belo and find outlets in the residences on the Heights, Chiet Engineer Van Buren, of the Department of City Works, says that the man-holes should be perforated, so that sewer gas may escape into the street rather than into private dwellings. A DANGEROUS STEEPLE. ‘The steeple of the South Congregational Church, on Court street, Brooklyn, of which Rey. Dr. Lyman is pastor, presented such a dilapidated ap- pearance yesterday, owing to the — recent high winds, that serious donbts —_ were entertained of ita stability. So great was the approe- hension that Captain Leavey, of the Third Precinct, took immediate action “in the matter and surrounded the church with a rope, for the purpose of keeping pedestrians at a safe distance from the building. The slating which covers the steeple has been blown off to such an ex- tent that the wind has free access to the interior. The trustees. of the church held a meeting last evening to consider the propricty of removing the old steeple and erecting a new one in its place. Mr. Osborn, the builder of the steeple, was present, and stated that a thorough examination of the structure had been made, and it was found to be in no danger of falling and not greatly damaged by the recent strong winds, ERNST B. LUCKE’S WILL. ‘The will of Ernst B, Lucke, the partner of August Delmont, and a victim of the Pommerania disaster, was, on motion of Senator R. F. Rabe, offered for probate in the Hudson County Orphans’ Court, at Jersey City, yesterday. It has been said, since the disaster, that before sailing Mr, Lucke had a forebod- ing of trouble, and the manner in which the will is drawn shows that the statements wero: trae. The day before the Pommerania sailed Mr. Lucke had his will drawn up by Senator Habe, and deposited with the Safe Deposit Company, of this city. The combination not being known the company, after the news of Mr. e's lows reached this city, al- lowed the lock to be broken open on the order of Surrogate McCagne, of Hudson county. The last clause of the instrument provides that it the testator, his wife and children should all dic, then certain sums of money should be paid to his mother and five sisters, residing in Hanover, Germany, and the residue to go to his brother-in-law, Mr, William Geisler, of Hoboken, a member of the firm of Geisler & Kingsley, of this city. William Geisler, W. H. Stehr and Charles Rubsam are named as tinal exec- utors of the will. It seems that during the trip Mr, Lucke could not rid himself of his foreboaing of corning trouble, and when the Pommerania arrived at Southampton he mailed a letter to @ friend in Hoboken, in which he again expressed great fears that harm would befall himselfgand family. Mr. Lucke was estimated to be worth about $150,000, AND SO YOUNG. John Kelly, fourteen years of age, was a prisoner at the Tombs Court yesterday morning. He was charged with having been intoxicated the day be fore, and while in that condition with hay ing attempted to drown himself by jumping from pier 12 East River. The tears started from the little fellow's eyes as he #tood before the bar and declared his innocence of any intent to do wrong. Hin polite manner and the intelligent re- sponses he made to tho questions put to him excited the interest of the magistrate and the spectators. He said he was born in Dublin fourteen years and that hi mother died while he a child in arms. Ifo lived with his year ago, His father, who was father, in Dublin, until was a’ seafaring man, was drowned from his veesel, ing left alone, young Kelly wandered to the water's edge and begged to be taken on aship.

TRANSPOSITION OF THE SENSES AND WHAT IT MEANS—AN ISSUE OF FACT—THE MYSTERY Nor sO MUCH A MYSTERY AFTER ALL-3é, H.’S FINAL ARGUMENTS. To ru& Eprron or Tux Hrmacp:— In your editorial comments on the controversy which has grown out of the **Fancher Wonder” you expressed doubts as to the origin of the theory of transposed sensation, It was declared to be “a fine piece of professional imagination,” whieh implied that “people might sometimes see with their elbows.” To this I replied, in brief, that “transposition of the senses" was an old expression in medical literature, that it was applied to certain phenomenal symptoms of catalepsy, and that I disclaimed all pretension of originating either the expression or the doctrine. ‘This disclaimer elicited another editorial, in which it was insisted I must be in error, as it seemed to be an absurd misuse of terms, which, in a literal sense, con- veyed no rational meaning. ‘These editorial strictures were supplemented each time with letters trom correspondents who assume to represent orthodox medicine, They also declared that no such doctrine had been adyocated or recog- nized. One of these, whose letter was headed “A Reply to M. H.,” considered the idea a “sill that it implied ignorance, insane delusion, & Another, who was especially profuse in discourteous epithets, had the amazing effrontery to say that it was a disgrace to the profession of medicine to attribute to its teachings any such absurdity. I propose, with your permission, to answer these points of issue collectively and final); I hope to make it appear conclusively that Miss Fancher's case is not a novel one. . Now, the disputed fact, that of transposed sensa- tion, is an old and well recognized doctrine in med- ico-physicological science. It is a hypothesis that brings many, if not all, of those alleged phenomenal features of Miss Fancher's case within the domain of known physical laws. It is hardly proper, therefore, that it should be so summarily dismissed from con- sideration, even if I were willing to pass by in silence the unjust imputaations and impertinences of the HERALD's correspondents, ‘Two extreme views have been ventilated in regard to the case. In one it is announced as an imposture of the grossest kind, because the powers which are claimed to be exercised by the invalid lady are mani_ fest impossibilities, being beyond “the immutable limits of natural law,"’ us one of these experts ex- presses it, and, because they are in contravention of all well established. principles of “phreno-neurologi- cal” science. This is the materialistic view taken by the school of dogmatic experts—these self-satisfied people who measure all possibilities by their own attainments or by their own powers of comprehen- sion. Drs. Hammond and Beard are its prominent repre entatives in this particular case, e second extreme view is that which bas for its able exponent Epes Sargent, who represents the school of modern mysticism. The latter readily ac- cepts all of the so-called miraculous features of the case as verities. Some of the more subtle powers which have been attributed to Mixs Fancher he con- siders to be but the exercise of a high phase of me- dinmship, and that her physical deprivations and sufferings have brought her into visual contact with spiritual intelligences who minister to and manifest through her. ‘There is still another view, which I now venture to reaftirm as being most probably “the correct one. ‘The case, as stated, is no such wonder as the HenaLD declares it to be. It is not an imposture, or con- trary to medico-psychological facts, as Drs, Ham- mond and Beard assert it to be; and it is not, of ne- cessity, a case which would require the interpo- sition, control or agency of spirits for the display of the patient’s alleged endowments, as Epes Sargent explains it to be. ‘he position of the latter is, however, more in ac- cordance with all forms of religious belief than the radical assumptions of the scientists who declare that such communion with pirit world, or that such supersenuous power or knowledge for the lady is absolutely impossible of attainment. They say that natural law is immutable. If, the fore, natural Jaws are really what they so oracular! expound them to be, and if unchangeable, then suc! powers as Mr. Sargent ascribes to the lady never could have been exercised in the past any more than atthe present. What, then, are we to do with the Bible? With Moses ‘and the prophets ? With the apostles and disciples? With ull the saints in the calendar? In fact, with any and all forms of religion? All orthedox Christians believe in spirit visitations. When they come to the pure in heart they are be- lieved to be lic. When they come to sinners they are condemned as of evil origin. Sereneeey. or the art of calling spirits from ‘‘the vasty deep,” is recognized, butt ix ris xinful. Verily, extremes meet. The good Christian and the rational Spiritualist will gered ye her, while the logic of these experts will lan and their so-called scientific truths in the slough of atheism. If this isa digression it is, perhaps, pardonable as having general reference to the matters at issue. As I have said, the probabilities are that neither view is correct. They are probably wrangling over a simple case of catalepsy, of which there are hun- dreds on record which have been attended by the sawe misdirections and super-excitations of sensorial and yas power, The same lucidity, visual trans- position and scope of discernment have been de- scribed again and againas attending these exceptional cases, No case of catalepsy ever happened without being attended by some of the seeinmgly incredible features which have awakened so much interest in Miss Fancher. ‘The ‘‘wonder” is really not so much in the as it is im the fact that our oracular ex- perts should have the andacity to denounce it as an impostaro. The following examples will suffice to illustrate that transposed sensation has been discussed and pre-eminently recognized for the last century. ‘They will at least prove that it is n ‘M. H.'s theory.” One of them was almost identical with Miss Fancher’s in all its features, even in point of its duration in time—thirteen years 1. Dr. Petettin, an eminent physician cf Lyons, in atreatise on catalepsy which was published in 1787, relates the particulars of one of his cases, in which he accidentally discovered that. | his patient, though otherwise invensible and un- ¢ us, “could hear at the pit of her stomach.” He “tried again and again to make her with her cars—even speaking thongh a She heard nothing.” The slightest whisper to the sensi- tive spot was heard and anawered. But the patient thought she heard as ordinarily—her sensations were the same. In the progress ot the case she became able to direct her vision inward, She described with awe, and correctly, the physiological wonders, which were revealed in the action of her own internal or- us. In @ little while the power of prevision was leveloped. Her predictions were always verified. This was followed by a still more wonderful display of visual power—as in Miss Fancher. She could tell what transpiring in every part of the house. She astonished the doctor one day by asking him why he wore a letter next his heart; and aston- ished him still more by reading its contents without its being disturbed from its resting place. She fre- quently gave inventories of the contents of the pockets of persons present. This lady finally re- covered from her seizures under a treatment sug- gested by herself, and with them ceased these abnor- mal powers, Petettan relates two other cases of a similar character, 2. Dr. Prost, author of a work on pathological anatomy, relates of one of his cataleptic patients that “she no longer saw or heard as in. the ordinary miénner;” but Gzaruping Soom to be trens- parent around her, and that her “ ition ex- tended to incalculable distance.” 3. Dr. Delpit’s case, as related by Mayo, was simi- lay to Miss Faucher’s in many respects. “She neither ate nor drank; there was no secretion; hér features and complexion, nevertheless, remained un- changed.” One day the patient became blind; the next she could see, but could not hear; another day she lost her speech. When her eyes became useless, she read printed pages with the tips of her fingers ax well in profound darkness ax in the light. 4. Herbert Mayo, the distinguished author, lec- turer and surgeon, relates acase where his patient ‘saw alternately with her Qngers and her elbows.” Another of his girl patients “read print and dis- covered the minutest objects with her knuckles in darkness or light, but she loxt this transposed vision when ink or soot was rubbed on her knuckles,’ These and other cases will be found in Mayo's “Letter on Transposition of the Senses, 1844,’" be- sides in the writings of Gregory, ENictson, Warren and other celebrities published more recently. Is this sufficient ? ‘The Henarocalled in question my statement that the doctrine was an old one, I might have gone back to antiquity, to the oracles of Delphi, or to the preternatural gifts of Socrates, A host of authors could be quoted, and hnndreds of cases related similar to Miss Fatcher's, But [ pre- sume these will suffice, It will also refute the alle- gation made by Dr, Buchanan in his recent lecture (as reported) before the Spiritualiat Society of Brooklyn. He said that legitimate medical science refused to en- ter into these investigations and utterly ignored them. Itisour modern smart experts who are at fault, and not the science ot medicine. To prevent any further misconception, allow me to repeat that I know nothing personally of Miss Fan- cher, Ido not assume that Epes Sergent is right in his view that she has become so spiritualized as to reach to a personal knowledge of a life beyond the grave, Neither will L deny it. Sho is sinless, inno- cout and suffering. Therefore TI would stnltity my belicf in Christianity if I wore to believe such a thing to be an entire impossibility. I have leernod cuotgh in this direction to realize that I know but very hittle, I can, however, understand her aversion to be classed with a certain kind of Spiritualists who call themselves such—these people whose lives are none of the best, yet who claim to have become mouthpieces for the announcement of a new religion is to supersede the teachings of Josus of This is simple blasphemy, It would be dacity if it were not so. pitiably absurd, om niean right enough. They believethat their waking, cataleptic and — hysterical seizures and the abnormal powers which ‘they de- velop are really the workings of spirit influences, or “controls” other than theit own. Even it they were they would bo a sorry set of prophets to accept ay wubstitutes for the sublime of anoral wud spiritual truths whose inspirational utterances are to be found in the New Testament, in the Decalogue and in the mora! codes of the grand old philosophers of antiquity. M. H. « BLooKirs, Dec. 29, 1878, WESTCHESTER CLUB DINNER. THE WALKING GENTLEMEN AT THE WEST- MINSTER —ANTIQUITY OF PEDESTRIANISM AND ITS BENEFITS DISCUSKED. A score and a half of gentiemen sat down to dinner at the Westminster Hotel last night— @ score and a half of spirited mortals who have stretched their limbs on the sod of nearly every county about New “York during the summer and fall months and who on this occasion sat down to chat in a friendly way over the incidents of their tramps and recall their pedestrian prowess. It was hester Walking Club who took this method of reviving their old intimacies and spending a few hours in the ox- change of pleasantry and the disenssion of an a memorable experience. y their exercise upon the turf had been — beneti for sonl of them — seemed — brimful_—_ of and geniality. ‘The parlors where th quet was ‘spread were —tastetully the colors of the club gleaming in odd nooks cornera and brightening the buttonholes of the nu bers, Several guests were present, all of them gentle- men who had encountered the club in their pere- grinations and figured in some incident of the trip. Among the iatter were Hosca B. Perkins aud M Lowery, ot the London Rowing Club, WALKING TALK. Atter fair attention had been paid to the good things provided for the oe sion, the President, Mr. Zachariah J.

M. O'Leary. Taking for his text a Greek quotation from Z mophon, he delivered ae a lengthy disquisition on old-time — wal scintillated with wit and pertinent local 4 The Doctor xaid that the tiller of the soil had always been invested = with degree of veneration in — consequence — of. his craft being the most ancient of all, and held that the walker deserved no less recognition, as pedes- trianism dated back to Adam's time and_ his antiquity was pretty thoroughly established. After further reference to numerous patriarchal and antediluyian tramps the Doctor — brought his subject down to modern __ times, and spoke of Oliver Goldsmith and other notables who had plied their pedals over a fair extent of territory and deserved recognition from later day walkers. “Walking as a Means of Physical Culture” was handlea by Excise Commissioner “Walking as a Counter-Irritant”’ was treated of by Mr. Matthew Daly, and “Walking as a Nuisance’ was briefly’ but forcibly illustrated by Maurice J. Power. Mr. Hosea B. Perkins responded to the toast of “Our Guests,” and said some very complimentary things of the club. Altogether the occasion was an enjoyable one, and at the conclusion all hands ‘made the welkin ring with the club cheer, a most curiously com- licated assortment of gutturals and sibillants which is most difficult to acquire and hardly less to listen to. “~~ OBITU Morrison, LIEUTENANT THOMAS 8.
