In the Town Hall, Germantown, on Saturday
lat. a minstrel purfonnance was given by (Jol
lies and llulnieb' Minstrel troupe before a good
audience. With a view to an increase of toe
receipts, the managers of the tronpe had pro
mised to Rive a large pnotograpn tratne as a prize
to the party sellioir Ahe irreatest number of
tickets. For this prize the Mount Airy Horary
Association labored faithfully, and the members
succeeded in selhnir one hundred and forty-three
tickets. On Saturday evening the returns were
made, and it was found that this association bad
sold the highest number, and was therefore en
titled to the frame. The secretary applied to
Mr. Holmes (or Humphreys), and was told that
It would be given to them immediately. For
this purpose If ulmes. and ihe doorkeeper went
out lor the frame, leaving the secretary to act
as aoorKeeper nntu tney returned, f hoy then
took the frame and left the town. It is supposed
that they got on the train at one of th stations
in lower Germantown, as they were seen to pass
Uiiejten avenue on tne Main street. TDey nave
alBO neglected to pay the janitor the whole of
the bill for the Town Hall, and may be set down
as lirst-cia?s swindlers.
We understand that they are about to give a
performance in Frankford, offering the name
frame as a prize to the society selling the largest
number of tickets. They should be exposed
wherever they attempt such tricks, and as many
oi tne tickets were purcnaea witn tne under
standing that the resu't would be the procure
ment of the frame, it mliiht be worth while to
nave them arrested as swindlers.

Fire in Manatunk A Man Killed. A fire
this morning, at 6 o'clock, broke out in the
drying-bouse attached to the cotton and woollen
mill of Messrs. Heft & Noble, at the corner of
Main street and Sburr's lane, Manayuok. The
drvintr-bouse is a stone structure separated from
the main building, and its conteuts were de
stroyed, together with a portion oi the root.
The loss will not exceed $3000, on which there
is ample insurance. The most unfortunate part
of the occurrence is the death or tne engineer,
a Mr. McGinley, who, while endeavoring to dis
engage the belt from the fly-wheel, was knocked
into the wheel-pit, where be died partly from
the blow and partly from suffocation. The de

SPIRITS.
Am I terMtl Interview with Iacrpreal !
parte Frleada-Whe Spirits Were rreaeat
na 4 Wave Were Nat A Chapter frm the
Attali f PplrltMaliam.
Last evening a most Interesting teance lu the
Interests of the art called splrltua.Iein was held
In a nameless locality by a nameless iaay ana
her assistants, at which nameless results were
attained. For the benefit of those who may be
Interested a full reportof the proceedings is here
given.
The historic spot where spirits moat do con
gregate bus a small hall, furnished, with, about a
dozen benches, on which were seated about a half
nnudred of corporeal beings, skeptical or other
wise. On asmall platformin front were arranged
various contrivances to aid in any physical
manifestations which might be expected, such
as bells, iron rings, ropes, speaking-trumpets,
wire cages, and the like. When the hour ap
pointed had long passed, a fair looking lady
mounted the platform and proceeded to arrange
the paraphernalia, announcing herself to the
audience as the owner of the medium, her son,
rho was to exhibit there and then. She said that.
as a condition of spiritual manifestation, silence
and darkness must ne maintained at an naz&ras,
and appealed feelingly to the audience, asking
that uo matches be struck upon the walls white
the lights were out, or other disturbance created,
lrom which appeal it might be Inferred that
such things were not cf uncommon occurrence.
By way of threat, she added that the exhibition
was under the protection of the Mayor of the
city, as were all other religious societies, but
did not deign to notice the fact that an admis
sion fee of twenty-five cents per capita was
charged by this society, which brought it more
under the bead of a Signor Blitz performance,
which neither Mayor nor citizens would protect
if gives on a Sunday evening.
As it was impossible for the whole audience
to luspect the operations closely, such a thing
being fatal to the spiritual operations, a commit
tee of two from the skeptics in the audience was
requested, to whom the critical powers of the
audience might be delegated.
An individual who had been conspicuous
earlier in the evening by reason of his otliclous
ness in arranging chairs, tables, and apparatus
in the right positions on the platform, thereupon
arose and nominated a gentleman in the au
dience (casually, of course) as a committeeman,
who, however, was belter known in spiritual
than skeptical circles. Another gentleman
oilered himself and was accepted, and the two
stepping forward, all the lights were extinguished
save one, a drop-light on the table of the me
dium's mistress' table, which was alternately
ugntea er lowered, during tne evening as the
spirit called for darkness or light. The shutters,
hitherto open,were made fast, and all things
being reaay tue performance oegan.
l be first question asked in the black darkness
by the lady of ber son, the medium, or of the
spirit or spirits acting through the medium, was
whether the spirit of Colonel McSomebody. was
present. To this the spirit gave a negative by
one gentle tap with his fingers upon the table.
Colonel Mcsomeuody, it may be mentioned, was
a member of a Connecticut regiment, and was
killed during the late war, since n hlch time he
bad taken lu charge the medium mentioned as
his vicegerent upon earth, and has devoted him
self entirely, through the medium's aid, to per
fecting such little tricks as might be pleasing
to tne general public, sucn as tne tying and un
tying of knots, the ringing of bells,
the making of the vocal organs to sound
in a sepulchral manner, the balancing
of chairs upon the head, and the fastening
of iron rings upon the wrists. It being thus
announced that the regular stage manager was
not present, it was inougbt expedient to Una
out why be was not present. This question was
accordingly asked. The spirit who had kindly
consented to supply tne place oi tne uoionci
stated that be did not know why be was not
present, and left it to the audience to conjecture
either that the gentleman bad found a more
profitable engagement elsewhere, or that he bad
been arrested by a subterranean policeman for
running to infernal fires, which it might be
supposed bad by this time lost their
novelty. Uut in a few minutes tne
substitute announced that he bad sent for tho
Colonel, whohad started to come. The telegraph
in those regions works quicker than ours, but
the means of locomotion are defective, as the
Colonel did not arrive during the evening. The
medium said that the substituting spirit was aa
Indian, on the receipt of which information we
were fain to leave the accursed spot, but finding
that the Indian understood the English language
perfectly, we calmed our fears and remained in
the interest of our readers, ihe Indian spirit
was not as successful in bis working as the
Colonel, owing probably to some evil power in
one of the committee, who certainly appeared
to be a skeptic.
After ibis information had been elicited, the
table Ikht was lit, and the committee were re
quested to tie the medium firmly to his chair so
that be could not untie himself. This was done
several times, and each time that the light went
out a straining and tugging most heart-rending
to listen to were noticed in tue direction of the
chair and medium, and on the spirit calling for

whenever committeeman No. 1 tied the tied the
victim there was no dimculty experienced by the
spirits in untying the knots, bat whenever com
mittetman No. A did the work, the time required
was much longer, and sometimes the job failed
entirely, in which event the failure was attri
buted to tne absence ot colonel -McSomebody.
The knot trick having become somewhat
stale, a gold ring trick was tried, but with no
success. The victim was tied to prevent his
aiding himself, but the spirits were either obsti
nate or did not understand their orders. All
they would do was to untie the medium, or when
umled to tie his wrists together in close
proximity to the mouth, which tie thecommittea
found no difficulty in undoing. This course of
action was persisted in by the Indian to the
verge ot tne monotonous, so much so as to cause
committeeman No. 1, who appeared to be
slightly profane thoughout, to remark with more
truth than politeness that be, the Indian, was "a
h lofa spirit."
uther tricks were attempted, but with but
little better success. The spirit did Indeed
succeed in placing a solid (?) iron ring two
inches lu diameter, which bad been placed upon
a chair within the distance of a foot or so.
upon the wrist of the manacled medium, but
the order was to place a similar ring upon the
other wrist also. While the light was out, an
ominous sound was heard, such a3 is made by
an iron ring falling and rolling noon the ground.
ana when the call "light was given, one ring
was touna on the wrist, as before stated, but
the other was found on the floor at more than
the distance of a foot or so. After this failure
the spirit could not be prevailed upon to have
anything more to do with rings, and whenever
the light was put out took to his old tricks of
tying ana untying.
A member of the audience attempted to make
a slight variety by suggesting that the knots be
tied with the back of the chair to which the
hands were frequently tied, towards the obser
vers, but this the lady exhibitor explained would
interfere with the working of the spirit. On
his going forward to show more explicitly what
was meant, the lady made objection, and re
marked that the fewer there were In close prox
imity to the medium tue better, ior tne same
reason that spirits work better in the dark. "The
audience, she said, "must have confidence in
the honor ot the committee whom they bad
appointed.
As this sort of thing was calculated to try the
pstience of the audieuce, a new tack was started
upon. A coat was sewed upon the body of the
medium in such a manner as to make it impossi
ble to unbutton it and take it off , -the sleeves also
being sewed together with strong thread. The
sewing the lady did, but the committee were
requebted to mark the stitches with a piece of
chalk, wuicu comruitieeman no. l naa
in his pocket for that purpose. ' When
this was done the exhibitor nut out the
light, remarking that singing often helped the
better understanding between spirit and me
dium, and started "When I can read my title
clear," to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." The
singing having given time for the spirit to rip
out the stitches, and sew the coat up again, for
no one snppowd for a minute that either spirit
or mortal conld remove the coat in that condi
tion, a light was struck, and the medium was
discovered in bis shirt sleeves, with hts chair
tipped back, and the coat In the midst of the
audience, whither it bad been thrown by invisible
bands (invisible by reason of the darkness).

jeh, just now," and thongh the singing, which
by request was joined in ny ail the congrega
tion, was enough to frighten away any spirit.
yet the medium was found, when the darkness
was again dispelled, sitting calmly, clothed and
in bis right mind.
The committeemen were then called up to
examine the stitches. No. 1 gave his decision
promptly. "I find these stitches the same and
in tea same condition ss when they were first
pnt in." But No. 2 differed. He swore that
the stitches were not tne same, and tried to con
vince the exhibitor of the fact, but in vain.
fending the discussion the light was extin
guished suddenly, and the spirit asked if he
"could do anything more to-night. An em
phatic negative was the reply, and the andience
and spirit were dismissed, "the latter with the
special and emphatic injunction to send only
the colonel in future, under penalty of a for
fcl nro of bis engagement. So the audience
was dismissed. It must not be forgotten that
the spirit was not only incompetent on this oc
casion, but positively insubordinate, having
refused point blank to do two of the perform
ances advertised, namely, the spirit lights and
the balancing of a chair ou the head of the
medium.
Though the exhibition taken as a whole was
a failure, yet it must be allowed that in a finan
cial view that was far from being the case.
Where the running expenses include only the
keep of a woman and young man, and the rent of
a very small ball with but little light, and for
unoccupied evenings only, an audience of only
fifty persons at twenty-five cents a head will
pay. This is at a higher rate than some who
minister to the public in other ways at the same
time of the week get paid for dispensing the
Gospel, or for running a Sunday show in a more
legitimate manner.
A SERIOUS BRAWL.
Three Ronaha In a Ftght-A Yonnc Girl Fa-

Yesterday afternoon two men. named re
spectively Samuel Howard and John Keenan,
became involved in an excited controversy, to
settle which they appealed to their muscle. A
lively fight ensued, during which each of the
worthies received a black eye and a number ot
contusions. When they were exhausted with
the combat they discovered that the question at
issue was not solved. Howard retreated to a
barber shoD kent bv a German named Brown.

leeches applied to reduce the inflammation of
the eclipsed orb.

the brawl was renewed and received a decided
Impetus by the arrival on the scene of Howard's
eldest brother Tom. The fight raged furiously.
The furniture was broken and tho shaving cups
were shied about in animated style. While this
melee was in progress, a young girl, the daugh
ter of Brown, looked into the room and received
directly a terrible blow upon the forehead by
a bottle which bad been thrown by one of the
belligerents.

At a meeting Of the GOOD-WILL FIRE KNOINB
COMPANY, held on the evening of the above date,
the following preamble and resolutions were unanl-
monsiy adopted :
Whereas. On Friday morning last, JOHN G. IIOL-
LICK,8r.,for a long time an active and energet'c mem
ber of this company, departed tnis lire after a nrier
illnest., and as It is meet and fitting that those who
have so long enjoyed his society and admired his
nobleness of character should take action on such a
melancholy occasion ; therefore,
Eenoivea, That we deplore tne loss this company
has sustained by the death of JOHN O. JIOLLIUIC.
Br., who for many years devoted his best energies
to tne interests or onr organization, and exninrte I
so mnch activity In all that concerned onr welfare
as to be completely and entirely ldent.iUed with us.
iteHoivea, That we always recognized in o lr de
ceased brother, JOHN G. IIOLLICK, 8r a man of
tne greatest pronity or character and genuine non
esty. His magnanimity, eourwie, and the warm syra-
Jilt hies of his nature endeared him to a host of
rienfa and caused him to he beloved and renoited
by hia associates and companions. The loss of one
possessing so many endearing traits of character Is
not only keenly felt, bnt will be long deplored, and
we will feel sensible of the vacancy occasioned by
this death whilst we bare any recollection of the
past.
Resolved, That to his widow and members of his
family, to whom be was so devoted, we tender our
sincere condolence in their bereavement.
Resolved That a copy of tho foregoiug preamble
and resolutions be sent to his family, and published
in the dally papers.

Butler'. Ku.Klux Kill.
General Botler succeeded to-day In Introducing
hia famoua Ku-Klux bill under the cab of States for
bills and resolut ons. He called for the reading of It
so as to have it printed in the Globe because t he
Democrats objected to Its being printed In the usual
way. The bill was referred to the Reconstruction
Committee when appointed, but It cannot be brought
back Into the House by a motion to reconnider, uor
is there any chance of its bolng reported from the
committee; for although, the Reconstruction Com
mittee has tbe right to report at any time, there Is no
committee appointed as yet.
The Prenldent Returned
to-day from Philadelphia, and It la understood that
as the result of his visit
The New Colleetor

days.
The President and the Democrat.
There Is a good deal of unfavorable comment
among tbe Republican politicians here at th Presi
dent tieing the guest of so prominent a Democrat
while In Philadelphia as A. J. Drexel. They think
that, with everything else, It will tend to deiu tralize
the raDk and file, who caonot understand how t e
Piesldent can atllliate with Democrats In a clcy
where there are so many pro nlnent Republic mn.
It bliou.d be understood, however, that Mr. Drexel
was the guest of the President here, and Grant was
simply returning Mr. Drexel's visit.
It Is expected that the

proposes to send the report of the cannula
sloiieis to Congress at once, and to reconvuend
action upon it. Some of his friends are trying to
persuade him that action had butter be duUyed
unMl the next session for the reason ttut the
Senute Is In uo huuior to regard the schemu of an
nexation favorably. The belief Is that It will be de
feated by a very large vote.
