THE LINCOLN MUNICIPALITY. Already a Clond Upon the Horizon of the New Oity Administration, THE MIGHTY AGAINST THE WEAK It Will Be a Cold Day When Cooper 1s Appointed Chiet of Police— A Bolter Fired—Capital City News. [FROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BURPAU,| On Tuesday of this week the new city government of Lincoln will take the reins and conduct the affairs of the eity for the coming year. At the final meeting of the old administration to-night the vote of the city election will be canvassed, the result announced and the certificates to the fortunates will be 1ssued, There 13 slready » cloud on the horizon for the new mayor in the shape of the ordinance introduced inereasing the saloon license from $1,000 to §1,500 per year. There are a few of the stronger saloons, financially or in patronage,.in the city that either favor or are indifferent to the increase, while the others are opposed to the pro- posed change. The cleyen saloons that fought side by side with the prohibition- Ists for the clection of Mr, Sawyer arc somewhat perturbed over the sudden in- troductior of increased fleense, and it looks as though one of the first clashes the new mayor would have to meet would be the question of standing by his saloon supporters and the old license or stand with his prohibition support and assist in inceeasing thelicense. With these two classes of election day charmers con- fronting the mayor he evidently feels how happy he could be with either were the other ¢ charmer away. Some of the saloon interests have been anxious to nave the old administration issue the li- censes for the coming year, but that under the new law is an impossibility, and even could it be done the retiring ad- ministration would not trench upon the rights and prerogatives of the new in questions of this character that shape the policy of the administration. Under the new charter the number of appoint- ive positions are both increased in num- ber and importance, 'The board of pub- lic works isone of the additions, and while Mayor Burr a short time ago sub- mitted a list of names for these placesthe council has deferred confirmation that the new mayor could exer- his own judgment 1n select- a board under the admin- istration. The only memberfon Mayor Burr's list that is anxious for a place on the board and who will presumably be appointed is Mr. 8. McConiga, and’ the suggestion of his name meets but hittle comtuent either way. The appointment of chief of police is thought to be closely to the door of P. H. Cooper, the veteran democrat and ice dealer of this city. This combination may m somewhat strange, but the fact remnins that Mr. Cooper is a democrat and deals in frozen water. ‘The org: lecting a p tion of the council in se- sident promises o be inter- esting. ‘Ihe council is about as evenly mixed in ublicans, democrats and prohubitiomists as could well be. and what it will evolve is doubtful. N.C. Brock, the present president of the coun- ¢il, is understood to be a candidate for re-election, but his fast and loose game l’;nlnst his own party will not commend him to the repablicans, and the demo- crats and prohibs will probably have a man of their own. History is repeating itself in Mr. Brock’s case, and in the cam- paign just past he has rode as many horses as he did a number of years ago, when he ran for mayor, took two or three nominations and then was defeated. But the most agony exists in the police de- artment, and in this branch it is be- 1eved that all in the police force will be left and the department reorganized en- tire, Petitions of applicants are floating through the streets daily en route to the oftice of the mayor-elect. FIRING A BOLTER. ‘The republican city comumittee met in business session Saturday evening to make final settlement of the campaign work. Mr. Allen W. Field, the member of the committee from the Fourth ward who bolted the tickgt after it was nom- inated and after he was made a member of the committee, was not present, but the committee without any hesitation proceeded to declare his place vacant on the committee on account of his leaving the party, and Mr. John D. Knight was_ appointed to the vacancy. Mr. Field has been greatly honored by the republieans of Lincoln in the past, bein; & member of the legislaturce,-speaker of the house and at the present time city at- torney under a republican administra. tion. " He was also a candidate for con- gress last fall and as such invoked the support of all republicans, while six months afterward he can asculmly as the oldest mugwump in the land turn his back upon the party that has honored him and nupl»orl a radical democrat who never in his life lost sight of the party to which he belonged. The republicans of tho city will .prrovn the act of the com- mittoe in decapitating one of the fathers of the lawyer propaganda, and if the committee will go tarther and load a good challenger with a stuffed club and stand him at the polling place at the next re- publican primary in the fourth ward to attend to the case of Gere and Hathaway af they attempt to call themselves repub- licans and vote, they will only do their duty to their party orgamuzation. ARE THEY FORFEITING THE LEASE? A well known attorney of the city calls the attention of the BEE to the fact that the stock yards company, as .alleged, is and has been, violating its lease with the state lands, and 18 in a condition that the attorney general could, through the complaint of any taxpayer, commence ngs against them in their con- The violation complained is that the company are in their manufacture of brick \hsxhxg out the valuable clay banks and destroying acres of ground which the lease only gives them a right of occupancy. A “mewber of the legs- lature, who visited the grounds in ques- tion when the scheme was on to buy the land through the bill in the house, no- ticnd the havoo that was being wrought and freely commented upon it. It 13 suggested that it would be an_excellent plan tor the state board of public lands and buildings to visit the leased ground in question und determine for themselves whether the lease is bemng violated and the proporty of the state sustaining dam- ages. INTERNAL WARFAKE, It is freely stated that all is not peace and harmony among the active partici- &um in “m"";fi e location of the lethodist uniyersity in this city, that some of tho parties have attempted a speculation on land donations that is rasing the wrath of others and produe- jng mutnal recriminations not at all lemllngoto harmony. In the furnishing of a bonus to sccure the college a num- ber of tracts of land were turnod into the s.nend fund at a stipulated price and rumor is afloat that parties are at- tempting a speculation on the price for which some of the land was put in_the Enaul budget and the price upon which to be transferred to the'college fund committee that has it in charge. umor further has it that both sides in controversy of this nature h: consuited attorneys or. hgve slrt:a rosted their cases with them'and it n not be surprising if a genuine broad sided law suit is entered of record before amenities are restored. ABOUT THE CITY. The announcement is made that Mr, A, E. Touzalin has a force of surveyors at work platting the bulk of his thousand acre purchase, six miles east of the city, which new town will be called Havelock. This tract is in the viei of the flag sta- tion Newton, on the main line of the B, & M. east, and while many consider it a great boom for Lincoin others raise the question whether a new town six miles away will help the city proper. if it means the locating of indus that point. In connection with the plat- ting the stale tale of the B. & M. movin its ghops to the new town 1s revived, al of which eareful men consider not worth attention. If the platting means more than a suburban town it has not yet been divulged. Ihe Herdman ease evidence that has held district court for four days, was all in Saturday night, and the judge with- holds his decision in the case for future promulgation. This morning a short ses- sion of the court will be held to hear a few motions, after which final adjourn- ment for the term will be taken. . The most serious question confronting the city of Lincoln at the present time is the wholly inadequate water supply, the water supply running so low that the mayor has issued a proclamation calling attention of citizens to the fact of the necessity of using no more than is absolutely neces- sary. The way the city is growing at the present time the present source of supply will not be adequate to one-half meet the demand in six months’ time and a water famine is imminent at almost any time. Work on sewer construction is being pushed now nignt and day, and in the eastern part of the city the work was being crowded ahead yesterday. The contractor has experienced great diffi- culty in securing good permanent men to nd every hour's time is being d. ster Sunday was observed with special services at all the churches in the city, a number of them being handsomely decorated with floral offerings, and the discourse of the pastors being appro- priate to the day “I sce a star, Ev tram” Come the damp twilight that bringeth pain.

SPIRITUAL - SPECIALITIES. “Knookings" That Commenced in Hydese ville, N, Y., Forty Years Ago. SINGULAR TABLE The Fox Sisters—Their Knockings— it to Cincinnati— The Lats Convention — Won- derful Psychometric Power. STRIKINGS, Rochester Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Early in 1848 the family of Join D. Fox, at Hydesville, a small village in Wayne county, N. Y., was disturbed by myster- ious rappings, wkich were heard mosily in one of the bedrooms. Efforts to trace the noises to a tangible cause were fruit- less, butafter discovering that the strange presence could converse by answering to the call of the alphabet, the members of the Fox family were startled by its do- claration that they were talking witha spirit. The announcement of this fact pro- duced great excitement at Hydesville, and the neighbors flocked to the residence of Mr. Fox to investigate for themselves. The wonderful presence continued to manifest itself by raps and was persis- tent in the declaration of its spiritual na- ture and occult powers. It was at length ascertained that the raps came only when the two younger daughters of the family, Catharine and Morgaretta, were present, and then the fame of the ‘‘Fox girls spread fax and wide, because they had “‘a familiar spint.” Soon after these occurcences the Fox familv removed to Rochester, N. Y., in which city the mvsterious manifestations continued to accompany them, and they were soon known everywhere as the “Rochester Knockings.” It was here discovered by rapping out the letters of the alphabet that different spirits were apparently using this channel of commu- nication, und that al coming into the pre N girls, could get a m e from what purported to be the spirits ot departed friends, the same often being accom- paried by tests which satisfied the inter- rogator of the spirits identity, n a few months a new phase of the presence was observed in the Movement of tables and other ponderable bodies, but still only while these young girls were in the toom, Such manifestations, all the time growing more and more re- markable, attracted numerous visitors from for distances, and the phenomenon cre long began to probagate itse to be witnessed in other fam Rochester and elsewhere, while, as coin cident circumstances, susceptible per- sons would someti fall into apparent trances, become rvoyant, and re- affirn these raps and physical move- ments to be the production of spirits. ‘I'he public meeting neld at Corinthian hi at Rochester. in November, 1849, was called at the request of the alleged epirits, for the purpose of submitting these phenomena to the investigation of a committee to be selected by the audi- ence, with a view to the publication of a report concerning their nature and claims, whatever the decision respecting these might be. The phenomena were freely manifested through the Fox sisters, and were submitted to many tests, and the committee, after having continued their investigation for several days, re- ported that they were unable to trace them to any earthly source. Upon the anncuncement of this conclusion the ex- citement throughout the country was in- tense, and everywhere the men marveled greatly at that which wa regarded as a new revela . n May, 1850, the Fox sisters wisited New York city, and then these peculiar manifestations through their mediumship became the subject of extensive news- vaper discussion, and it was in the spcech of Americans everywhere. The facts were published far and wide in many tongues. Mediums through whom similar manifestations were said to occur sprang up 1n different parts of the coun- try, and were soon multiplied by hun- dreds and since thut date spiritualism has been a prominent theme of public discus- sion by popular writers and thinking men and women. The manifestations in New York were sometimes accompan- ied by phosphorescent lights and no'ses like electrical explosions, and as all the }mrliculnrfi were given in the newspapers rom day to day, excitement of the peo- rlc increased daily and reached fever heat. . 1n'185L these weird sisters, as they were then thought to be, visited Cincinnati and held a number of seances at the Bur- net house, A gentleman who was pres- at some of these gives us some interest- ing particulers. Besides himself there were nine in the circle, and he enumer- ates them as follows: hcnjnm‘n Urner, Mr. and Mrs. Clark Williams, James an Samuel Goodwin, the two mediums, their mother, and a gentleman with whom he was acquainted. The names mentioned are sufticiently famuliar to old citizens. The rappings instantly began and Mr. Urner said to our informant: “‘Now atk if there are any spirits pres- that will communicate with you.” Such a question is always a poser to the neophyte. It appearsto him that he 18 merely “interrogating the empty air, and that the reply can be nothing more than the echo of hisown voice, and he bhesitates. Our friend hesitated, but fin- ally nerved himself to the occasion and repeated the question as suggested. The number and variety of raps which in- stantly followed were a surprise to him. He was greatly cmbarassed, and Miss Margaret kox, observing this, told him to write his questions, or, if he could councentrate his mind sufficiently, to ask them mentally. He chose the latter method and inquired: “Is the spint vgvmy mother present?” very generally n. Answer, “Yes ‘t'ls the spirit of my daughter Eliza pres- ent.” Answered affirmatively. He asked his mother several common- place questions, which were answered correctly, and then: “‘Mother what was the age of my daughter Eliza when ske died?' The rappings immediately became regular. The raconteur did not know they were to be counted, but the others counted them. “Twenty-two? What was your ques- tion?" they asked. He said he had asked the age of his daughter at her death, Well,” asked one of the company, a8 twenty-two right " He said it was, for she was within a month of that age when she died, But, like all anxious inquirers, he wanted still nuo,ldwl” test. o “‘Mother, what was your when you died?’ be asked. ¢ MY z Distinetly and unequivocally ninety- seven raps were given, which® was the correct answer, He asked several additional questions, all of which he said were answerod as only his mother could have answered them. @¥rom the very beginning of the inter- rogations he le{G mmelhilsz Mklnfi his knee, like a ball of wool. This he thought very queer, and determined to say nothing abont it. He several times K:eped under the table to see 1f 1t could some person doing it, and continued to feel the soft blows from something wholly invisible to mortal ken. They numbered about sixty per minute. There were raps on the table which he did not understand, and one of diums announced that the alphabet was the me- | J called for, Through jts aid this question was asked: N “Why don't you tell*” “Tell whatt' Inquired one the cirele. 4 ““The knocking oa your knee,” was spelled out. Our good friend wus astounded. Some one asked him: Did you feel knocking on your knee?'’ “Yes,” he replied: “but I intended you should know nothing of it.”” “Which knee?” was asked. The alphabet ansyered, knee.” He attended another circle a few evenings following that upon which these incidents occurred, and not only received correct answers to every ques- tion he propounded, but his chair while occupied by him was shoved about the room, backward and forward, more than a dozen times, without the visible touch of any power! Such was the experience of the gentle- man who, upon visiting this first circle, had determined to erect from his own ignorance a throne of judgment upon which to condemn these manifestations, but instead of this he found his skepti- cism suddenly cured. We do not give the incident for its intrinsic merit, for it is but one of the hundreds of thousands of the same kind, but its value consists inits early date and connection with those original expositors of a doctrine whose natal day is now being celebrated in most of the large cities of the United States. 1t is natural for the average reader to say that he does not admire the assur- of any one who expects him to be- in the occurrence as above related, and it is proper to reply that he is not expected to believe in them till evidence of their truth is presented personally to him from the original source. Then be- lief will not be necessary, for he will know. Zeno declared the existence of a criterion to establish the truthfulness of man's knowledgoe, and the spiritualist s to himself the soundne V. position. But he cannot prove it to neighbor. The manifestations of spirit presence must come to every one direct. Through an intermediate mortal they are of no force or value. Whatever the actual foundation of spiritualism may be, it has undeniably increased in strength from year to year from its beginning, and in “plece of the wild-eyed, unkempt and generally dis- trait disciple of its early, days, we now find among its believers many alert busi- ness men and f citizens. They scout the term er,’*and insist that they walk by sight, without the least re- gard to faith. The best of them admit that many impositions have been prac- ticed under the name of spiritual mani- tions, but state that in the majority s fraud could not have been palmed off even if designed, and that in other cases there could be no possible motive for deception, as the investiga- tions were carried on in private families, with their own sons and daughters for mediums. of “The right ‘Wonderful Work. A special dispatch to the St. Loui Globe-Democrat dated March 28, sta At the spiritualist convention of the south, at its session this afternoon, the Hon. A. C. Ladd, of Georgia spoke, He is denomina a normal speaker, that is, one that speaks not in a trance state. He spoke on ancient and modern spirit- ualism and the effect upon the human race. He held that spiritualism was established as true by more perfect tests than even the christian religion. It af- forded the only absolute evidence of the immortality of the soul, whereas specula- tive theology was founded on hearsay evidence only. No evidence of a future existence of the soul ean be greater than that of the return tous of our friends after death. Mrs. Edith E. R. Nickless of Chie: through the little Indian garl control, Lit- tle Sunflower, gave some testsin a trance state. She talked in broken Enghsh, as it is supposed an Indian would talk, and pointed out persons in the audience and made observations about them. To a man away back in the audience, she said: “‘You are in the midst of troubles and you think there is no out of them.” *That's 80,"’ respon: the man. “But there is,”” responded the medium. The gentleman said this was the first time he had ever seen the medium, and that he was not a spiritualist, A lady was called up and told that a spirit friend ob- jected to her wearing black clothes now, just as much as she had objected to it while living. ‘The lady said that she once had justsuch a friend, who was now dead. SPIRITUALISTIC EDUCATION ADVOCATED In the evening Mr. George Colby spoke on the theme* *“What lack we yet” He assumed that spiritualism has robbed death of itg terror and the grave of its loom, and had brou‘ght the sunlight of ope into the lives of mullions, but that millions to whom it had made thisrevela- tion had not yet become spiritualists be- cause they tailed to comprehend the philosophy of it. He adypeated the education of children in spiritualism that they may escape becoming a prey of bigotry or blank infidelity. On this point he expatiated at some length. Mrs. Isa Wilson Porter, of Chicago, the daughter of E. B. Wilson, deceased, of Cincinnati, gave a series of psycho- metric readings, . Her mecthod was to read the hmm&y of several lives by hold- ing in her hand some familiar object of their property, such as a handkerchief, a bunch of keys or aring. These read- ings wont into details of personal his- tory, and were in every instance pro- nounced correct. To & lady whom she heard walking in the hall a few yards she said, talking rapidiy: “‘You are very positive, your own household, and T am glad you do. A short time ago you gave certain parties to understand just what you thought of them, and you did vperfectly right. You ought to ™ have begun on them six months sooner than you did. ‘The 17th of last December was a critical time in your history. The answer ‘Yes’ comes to the question you are now ask- ing. Two months ago you closed a door that you ought to have left open.” CORRECTNESS OF THE STATEMENT The lady in question said she had not closed & door that she should have left open. The medium answered that this expression was used métaphorically, and the incident was not in her own home, but in one in which she was as decply in- terested. The lady assented to the cor- rectness of the statement throughout. Her last test was experimental. 1t was atandln? biindfolded ‘while some one walked in & natural manner down the aisle, after which she was to describe the person. She stood blindfolded, with her back to the audience.on a brilhantly lighted stage. Mr. L. M! Bartlett of com- mercial college note, of Cincinnati, walked up and down tlée aicle. After he had returned to his seat she said: *You are a man that kolds tight your purse strings. You aremore hiberal to others than you are to those of your own family. You will fa a mile out of your way to help a needy one and never let anybody know what you have done. You are safisfied with self, and don't cure a bit what others say about you.
