Remarkable Scenes at a Pnblie Con test Between a Mind-Reader and a Spiritualist, TUlAt S-tWATCW TS TWS KSQC1KKB. St.

Loi'is, August 11. The contest between Jules Wallace, spiritual medjuni, and J. Alex ander Mclvor Tyndall, mind reader and hypnotist, at tbe Hagan Opera-house last night. culminated in one of tbe moat dramatic scenes that was ever witnessed in this city. If it was premeditatedbetween the principals and there are those cold-blooded enough to declare that it was it was a remarkable piece of acting on their part, and the execution of the conception must stamp Tvndall and Wallace as the greatest acton of modern times.

Starting quietly enough, except for the ap parent enmity between the principals, it would have culminated in a riot but for the firm ltisistance of Mr. 0. L. Hagan, owner ot the theater, that Wallace leave the stage and that the andienee disperse. There were over 1,000 people in the house at 8:15 and Wallace first appeared.

He told bow he had been CALLED A FRAUD And challenged to a public test by Tyndall. Tbe latter, hen he came out. seemed embarrassed, and spoke ot the coming contest in more moderate term than did Wallace. The audience was told that Wallace would perform some feats of spiritualism which Tyndall would try to duplicate later on by means of hi mind reading powers. At the start Wallace created a sensation by calling the name of "Ross Weder" as that of a spirit who was speaking to him.

There was a shriek from the and Wallace proceeded to unfold a few chapters of private family history, of no particular interest to the audience, but replete with detail that no one but the one to shorn the test was made might be reasonably supposed to know anything about. It may be unfortunate for Mr. Wallace that he materialized this particular wraith at this particular time; but, be that as it may, a little byplay was observed here that the public la entitled to have the benefit of. There was a strong suggestion of collusion between the medium and this particular person. The lady occupied a seat one row back front the front seal of the balconv.

and she had been accom- iihtned to the theater bv Prof. ii. (Jolbv. the slate-writer, although Colby left his fair Hhe fashionably uVeMMaJ, a person of flue presence, and WOI LD HAVS, IXrOKRD BITTES In a box than iu the retired place she occupied. Presently she was lolned bv another fashlon- UDly dressed lady ho hud been occupying a box with intimate friends of Wallace, including that gentleman's landlady.

When the name of "Koss weder, was mentioned the ladr who had first found her Place in the bal cony gave a little shriek, covered her lace with her nanus aua Liearu the uutoliung or tbe tale with apparent great emotion. The art was well played, both by the ladyong-nally addressed and the one who joined ber, but there is not the least ground to doubt the previous friendly feeling between the medium and the person who assisted this "lest," though very few in the audience saw ally-thing tsdow the surface. Mr. Wallace's neit test was a hard one. He materalized the spirit of Wash ftevensou and Clarence Wilson, telling a dramatic story in the case of tai ami the truth of this was vouched for by Major Charles Osborne, well known as tbe St.

Louts representative of tbe Western Associated Press, who rose iu his plw-e aud stated that a letter to which Wallace had referred, and a pait of the contents of which he had repeated, had been received only yesterday morning ur MiMSKur asd wira From a relative now attending: tbe Spirirual-i-its' National Convention. This conftruiauon by a man so well aud favorably known as Mr. Osborne sent Uie Wallace stock up like a well-inflated balloon, and simultaneous iih the applause that followed this con nrmn lion a basket of sunflowers rams through the box here Tyndall was sitting and was reoeived by Wallace as a matter of course. If be had known it was coming he could not -have evinced less surprise. Wallace went on, giving test after test, and telling a variety of sorries, not all uf them particularly edifying or delicate, but replete with detail, hicii Minted to be what the audience was hankering! for.

Wallace now proceeded to give TyndalB a lent, reciting facts that the mind reader admitted were hi ts, and describing trututur.y, accurdingtoTvndairsown admissions, the grave of TyndaJl's mother in Lancashire, England, as well as the home Tyudall's boyhood. Tyndail said, however, that ripiritMHlism had not bing to do with it, and that when he got a chance upon the stage he would try totxplaititbeprocessesby which Wallace had reached tlie alleged results, and' to repeat some of his U-ts by the process of mind-reuding. Frof Tyndall, whose object was explain and reproduce what was accomplished, by Wallace, stated that ALL COtTLD BK EXPLAINED On the theory of mind-reading, and that every person would recoguize that fact when he concluded, if he Was successful. A committee of eialit from the audience, among vviiom were Colonel M. C.

Wetmore and lr. J. K. Bauduy. were called to the stage.

Tyndall was led from the stage by two of the committee, while another selected a man in the audience whom Prof. Tyndail was to locate. The mind-reader was brought back upon the stage blind-folded, and. grasping the hand of one of the committee, rushed through the audience until be had located the muu. The ilndina; of a pin was the next test.

Prof. Tyndall had some trouble with his subject, who was apparently unable to fix his mindoii he spot where the pin was secreted, but finally fnnnd ii under a chair, where it hud been stuck. A most difficult feat followed, nearly akin to those accoinpllsiied by Wallace. Tyndall was taken from the stage and Dr. Bauduy ent through tlie motion of stubbing a luau, hid his vicum ttnd his eapon and then himself.

Frof. Tyndall was to dis- Uliri STI.Slil, i.imau-it-i lltlilll and then re-enact the crime. He failed to find the kniie because it bad been changed from Us c-iginal hiding place, but he fuuad the mnruerer ana vie um ana re-enactea tne crime WITH STAJtTUXa ACCrBACT. While he was performing this feat he had to change his subject, as the man did not concentrate his TiaougUls. Thesiibiect said it Cs Prof, lyudall tault lr itecouid not carry out thetesi: but Tyndail told htm he could read his mind, ami thai be was thinking of bis own importaiK too much, whicu shut the fellow Prof.

Tyndall was to find acigarplaised in the mouth of a gentleman iu the audience. It vii doriuir tills that the excitement oc curred. For rtfteen minute tire men tore about the hall. Jules Wallace wrts'is-anding iy a reporter side tn the ings. He li Oieak Ins iie.

During the last night of- the encampment of the Eighth Regiment at Camp McKtnley, near Chicago, a member named Smith, of Company Ji, of Plymp-ton, attempted to break through the guard line. The Sergeant of the guard turned to Charles Orr, of this city, who was on duty at the guard quarters, and said, "Catch that man.

Young Orr started in pursuit, and was almost near enough to Smith to catch him, when, by an unfortunate step, he lunged forward, his bayonet cutting a six-inch gash in the hip of Mr. Smith. Next morning, when Orr was relieved from du4y, the entiro force of Company li repaired to Orr's quarters aud demanded the scalp of the man who liad poked a bayonet Into their comrade. The ofucers of the Bncyrus City (tuard snfd that as Orr was In the discharge of hjs duties they would protect him from the angry mob. Thecomirariy was hastsly formed into a hollow square and, with lixed bayonets, protected the vounw fellow.

Later in the dav the Flymptoti men made another attempt to get urr, nut iney were repuisea ny tne uu-cyrns men, who were armed with clubs, chairs and other weapons. It looked like a regular riot, the commissioned oDicers of the Flyinptoii Guards giving such encouragement as they safely could tu provoke a general assault.

Tbomaa Mlera Charged With Murderingr Hi Wife, Who Died in ChUd-Blrth. rxctAt anrpATca to Tea nactasa. UKttxsBiau, Iu August 11. Thomas Miers, a well-known and highly connected farmer of the Ewiugton neighborhood, was arrested bite yesterday evening on a charge ot murder, and is now in Jail here. About a week ago Mlers wife died daring child-birth, and it was alleged by the nelgh- lors fhatTbe bTrth "was premature, tlie' result of brutal treatment on the part of the hus band.

Mrs. Mlers and tbe babe, which was born dead, were buried without a Coronial investigation, and it was thought the affair would soon be forgotten. But ugly charges continued to be made against Miers, and excitement rose to such a pitch that a deputation of his neighbors- waited upon him, it is-aaidraud threatened to lynch (lira. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, of which the deceased was a member, took areat interest In the case, and as a result their investigations it was decided to arrest me nusrjaiiu on uie cuarve oi luuroer, aim in accordance with thW uhderstandini: Mrs. 6.

V. Wright, of this city, a prominent memlier of the I nion, swore out a warrant, and.il iers was brought in and locked up as stated. Since his incarceration it has developed, it the stories of neighlrors are true, that Miers ana ins wtte did not live iiuppny togetner, although they had been man-led several years and were the parents of six children.

Lxxjs jtoj, August An Incident Involvhig some of the most aristocratic and wealthy people In tbe Blue Grass Region, and which smacks more of fiction than reality. culminated here this evening In a legal con troversy over the body and money of Miss Sarah I. Kunday, an old lady who has a ro- mantlo history.

She is the sister of Captain P.enban Munday, one of the most gallant soldiers who ever fonght for the (South. Ails, Munday is a niece ot the. late Alexander Trimble, of Madiaon Connty, who died some time ago and left his wife, 5ncy Trimble, an enormous estate. principally in valuable Elue Grass land. Mrs.

Trimble died soon after her husband's death, and bequeathed her entire estate to her nieces and nephews, barring A COMFORTABLE grif She left Miss Munday. Before this, however. Mis Munday had lived on a farm in Clark County, and operating it herself, succeeded In making a comfortable living. Out of the proceeds of this farm slio maintained and support si seventeen nieces and-nephews. giving each their start in the world.

Last February the land was sold by the foreclosing of a mortgage which Miss Munday had placed on it in order to raise money tor ber nephews arid Tbe last two of her kin that Mb Munday raised were Guy Munday and the wife of Attorney t. C. Davis, of this city. When the farm was sold Miss Munday seemed to have been deserted by all her relatives save Mrs. Davis, who invited ber to come here and live with her.

This Mia Munday did. About a month after her removal to this city Mr. Nancy Trimble died, Miss Mnnday was Immediately informed of the fact that she would BECTtVB A BICH I-EtTACY From the estate. Then bedlam broke loose. All tbe seventeen nieces and nephews were eager to see Mis Munday and embrace her.

Meanwhile the much-sought lady was safely ensconced here at Mrs. Davis" and refused to reCognlae the people who had deserted her. Tliis made tbe Luchester people wild, and they immediately pnrceeded to swear out a writ of lunacy against Miss Munday. This writ was taken out in Winchester and was illegal, a Miss Mundav's residence was here. This mistake was corrected and another writ obtained here to-day and served by sheriff I ifewr, who was ordered to take the old lady to Winchester for trial.

Lawyer Davis got a bustle on himself and ngugrsii'in, Cliarh J. BronsUn, That geiu. tleinrwi Headed off the neatly arranged scheme, by having Xiss Munday taken from the custody of HiertrT Fraiter on a writ of haiMst corpus. He then completed his eou'jide main by having tiie Security Safe and Vault Company apirointed her trustee. When the trial ccrtunieiiced Mr.

Bronstou WAS A UTTLt I.ATS In arrtvinr. A score or more of those interested in Miss Mundav's money were on hand from Winchester. Mr. Bronstou walked in and said to the nephews and nieces: "Well, I aiu DerfectTv wliline tn turn Miss Mutidav over to you and settle this matter. If it is her you want tins snouia oesatistactory.

"Oh, yes," tbey chanted In a chorus, "she Is all that we desire: only ner." Happiness as depicted on the claimants' faisss. "But." remartced Mr. Bronston with a dry smile, "There is a little paper I would like to read you. It will interest you." He then read aloud tlie article making tlie Trust Company Miss Munday'a trustee. More than one spectator smiled AT THI LOOKS OT PIS AT The reading ot the instrument occasioned.

None of them wanted the old lady ithout the money, however, hhe returned home with Mrs. Davis. tacts will create great interest in Kentucky, as the matter lias been carefully hushed up. Miss Mundsy hasa romantic hLstory. when young she was engaged to a Blue Grass man.

One day in pouring some coffee the vessel was overturned, badly scalding her face. From the eye to the ear she as terribly burned. Her lover then deserted her. Since then Mini Munday has never married, her unlorxunstedlsngurement being excelled only by ber goodness of heart, as she is better and more favorably known than almost any woman in this region.

Cannon had tn hustle to get the demand seconded, and then tha yeas and nays were called. Tbs performance was useless raoM ast roi.nT or vir.w. The agreement having been adopted, the debate, which 1 to last fourteen day, was opened br Asadur Rarnor.an anrl-kfrear Bern- ocratfrom Maryland, and a vigorous and irn- passioned speaker. His apeecb wss uncompromising. He declared that silver was equal to gold In making purchases only on account of ths misplaced confidence of the people.

Blond made a wonderful speech. He is in- distinct In his enunciation, bnt he wa so earnest that he was largely relieved of thedlffls culty which ordinarily besets him, and he received very cltne attention. On the explia-tion of hi time unanimous consent was given tor an indefinite extension. He was applauded at many points, and there was a profound aensatlon when he declared, in com- mentingon the President' message, tnat Tlie members of the lloose had not received their commissions from the President, and that If they followed the President they Would have plenty of time to study the silver question ill tbe quiet of their homes. Congressman Lute Pence, of Colorado, fol lowed in an earnest speech for silver.

In which he "belted" Mr. Raynor for having alluded to the United Stales Treasury as a rAWnsaoaca's nor For the silver producers. Pence ssid Bay nor might know more about tbe pawnbroker business than he did, hut he. knew that in this pawnbroker sliop the silver ounces were "Jewed" of tbe speakers to-day was Congressman Jason B. Brow of Indiana, who came to the support of the President without reserve.

He declared himself lu favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, but he was in favor of the repeal of the purchasing provision with or without conditions, aud he Indicated hi confidence that In due time the President would do wind wss proper to place silver ia its proper position in tlie currency. Altogether, the opening debate Was ah interesting and breezy one, but as there Is to nearly two wuetsof talk the interest till sboa flag, except when ihe heavy, guns address themselves to the situation. The leading Democratic Senators are still at work trying to fosmulale a plan f.r the consideration of the silver question, and it is expected that tbey will bejjj-gatiiied when the eenate nievts again on Monday. As the House plan has gone Into effect it does not seem easy to modify It to agree with any different proceeding the Senate Committee may adopt. the suit riKst i es.

We do not Intend that any political party shall survive that will lay the confiscating band upon America in tbe Interest of England and of Europe aud demonetize silver In Ibis country, and, my friends of the iostern Democracy, we bid you farewell when yon do it," These were tbe word of Richard p. Blend in the great financial contest that opened in the House of Representative to-day, and the applause that followed the determined utterance demonstrated that the- great silver leader had with him a material element of the Democratic party. It brought every member of the House to a realization that the most, serious exists Uas Democratic party since the dissension of slavery was at hand, and that the division of lau3, like the division oi 1U1, would be large- ly on section al lines. In a-cordnc lib the. programme lost night agreed upon, Mr.

Wilson, immediately after the meeting of the House, introduced a bill uuconJJtiouallr me-pealing the eherihau purchasing law, and Itr. Bland, oa behalf of the free-jotoage men, followed wljh a resolution providing for the immediate consideration of the bill and allot-, ting fourteen day for general debate before a vert should be taken. The resolution of proceed are wss7 drawn to espet-tI)y secure the silver men in their demands for separate votes on free colime at the vsrl- on ratios proposed, but It ts so explicit as to call for a final vote on tbe repealing bill at the termination of -debate ire her the' sliver amendments prevail or not. Thus, iu tlie House at least, the fear of filibastering 1 allayed and both parties are arrayed in line for a fair fight and no favors. The speeches of the day were marked for their intensity ot feeling and revealed a wide difference of opinion in party ranks.
