MYSTERIOUS SHOW
OF MIND-READING
Was Displayed la the St, Charles Hotel
Parlors.
NEWSPAPER MEN ARE STARTLED
kiug llurlell, of (icorgia, Just He
tamed from ludia, tiives n Wonder
till EtbihitionYVhile lilindt'olded
lie Plata Curds and Dice, Heads
figures, Describes Objects and Per
forms Other Incredible Feat.
A number of newspaper men were
mystilied, even startled yesterday af
ternoon at the St. Charles hotel by the
mind reading feats of King- Kartell, who
bus just returned from India, where for
four years lie has been studying the
1.-H.-1-. t.'i iiu i 11 and occult science of the
natives of that country, lilindt'olded,
without Hie nl. I nl' paraphernalia nnd
with the assistance of only those who
were strangers to him be accomplished
things which were not believed possible
until they were actually witnessed.
Hat I. II was found in conversation
with Proprietor Melvln, of the St.
I'hai les, on the hotel porch by a Tribune
loportw after tnidnight on Tuesday.
The stranger acknowledged himself to
l' without money, and said he came
to Scranton only because he had heard
of Its thrift and industry. He modestly
told of his four years' residence In In
dia and of his having learned to do
while blindfolded many things accom
plished with the sight unhindered.
Munager "Sandy" Crltnn. or the Scran
ton base hall club, joined the group, and
Kartell proceeded to verify his state
ment. The few feats he performed were so
mystifying and seemed so Incredible
that an arrangement was made fur liitii
to give an exhibition of his powers be
fore a larger audience. Thus it wus
that Kartell met the patty In the pur
ler i.f the St. Chatles hotel at l'.:iit
o'clock yesterday nltei'tioon. The com
pany numbered twelve persons, nil
newspaper men. excepting Proprietor
Melvln and Secretary K. I). Fellows, ur
the board of control. There were no
strangers in the loom.
KK.tTS 1 1 10 I'ICiiFOItMf :!).
What transpired wus given an added
strangeness by reason of Kut toll's as
sertion that lie had never given a plat
form exhibition of his powers. He did
what he said be could do, feats that
are frequently udvertised but which
have never. In Scranton at least, been
perl'iu uied within a group of persons
who were all acquainted with each oth
er and without the aid of confederates
or paraphernalia other than u. piece of
chalk, four large napkins for blindfold
ing and objects furnished by the com
pany. Kartell first played n game of casino
with a gentleman holding an import
ant editorial position on one of Scran
ton's daily newspapers. This feat, like
all the others, was performed after the
operator had had four separate nap
kins bound over his eyes and face by
as many persons. Beneath the nap
kins, in nearly every instance, a soft
kind glove was bound over each eye.
There was absolutely no chance for him
to see.
Kartell dealt the cards, which were
furnished Ivy Proprietor Melvln, one
of the party standing' near and with
a hand placed on the operator's head.
Kartell held the cards so that his sub-
partner could see them but not a ord
was spoken in relation to the hands.
The editor won the game but during Its
progress Kartell would " build" nnd
call his plays as correctly nnd quickly
as would Ills opponent.
In the next feat the party stood In
a soft of circle, in sets of threes, those
present clasped some small object in
their hands which would be felt on the
backs by Kartell. He would then tell
each person the name of the object,
describe it and sometimes tell the
pocket Into which the owner had flnnlly
placed It.
Ki:.U TI1F. NL'MKKKS.
Kartell then seated himself before a
small polished oak table and drew u
small circle with a piece of chalk. He
requested one of the gentlemen to w rite
a set of figures within the circle, the
latter standing with his disengaged
hand on the operator's head. The
figures written, Kartell Immediately
wrote them in duplicate.
As a final test u family photograph
album was brought by Mr. Melvln itilo
the room. One of the coninany was
asked to open It and gaze on any one of
the pictures. This was done, the gentle
man standing us before with u hnnd on
Kartell's head. The album was then
closed and the bandages removed.
Kartell made his first error In selecting
the wrong picture but his second trial
was successful.
One of tile compuny announced him
self ns being- skeptical and asked Kar
tell to submit to a further test. The
latter agreed. A napkin was tied over
his eyes and the gentleman who had
expressed himself us being skeptical
sat facing Kartell nnd held the album
high before the latter' face and with
Its back toward him. A picture was
selected, the album was closed nnd the
bandage wus removed. Kartell was
wrong In his first attempt to point out
the proper picture, but was not slow
to correct lilinsclt und turned
the leaves until he found the right one.
In still another test but in the pres.
cnee of two Tribune men. Kartell, with
his eyes nd face' covered with four
napkins threw dice with as much ac
curacy as could be done by a person
with a good pair ot eyes.
AVhut made this feat the lnore re
markable was the fact that the dice
und the cup Were furnished by the
newspaper men. The dice were what
are known as "poker" dice and were
somewhat worn und difficult to de
cipher under even favorable circum
stances. Kartell would not touch the
throw until he hud evidently decided
what diee to return to the cup. He
would then push aside the "pairs" or
"threes" according to the throw nd
return the others to the cup and con
tinue In that way until the final throw.
MAY GIVK EXHIBITION.
Manager Jones, of the Frothlngliiim
theater, learned of the strange char
acter and yesterday and last night was
endeavoring; to arrange for him to give
public exhibitions of his powers in the
theater. No arrangement, however,
has yet been made between them.
Kurtell talks entertainingly of him
self and his four years In India. His
home is In Rome, Oa. He is C2 years of
age and remarkably well preserved,
lie wns in the Confederate army more
than three years. A peculiarity of his
countenance Is a pair of clear, sharp
steel-gray eyes, small and set deep be
neath a full protruding forehead. Ho
has a moustache and In face and figure
look much the same as any hale
American. . He wears a. plainly. -made
find ordinary .looking suit of black.
The coat is of. the Prince Albert style,
but the whole suit shows the effect of
long wear.
Kartell says he went te India on a
business mission but beume so Inter
ested in the study of mind reading or
mind telegraphy as practiced by the
Hindoos that he lengthened his stay
there and landed at Halifax. Nova
Scotia, only two months ago. He
reached this continent with but little
money and lias traveled this far on
money derived from selling the secret
of several sleight-of-hand tricks which
lie performs with unusual proficiency.
It was not until recently that he
thought ot appearing in public for
money.
ARE NOT THROUGH YET.
Another Injunction Against the Mt.
Vernon Company.
Another injunction was issued yester
day against the Mount Vernon Klee
trlo Street Railway company to re
strain it from laying a track on the
streets ot Wlnton borough. Michael
Calluher, a Wlnton property owner,
3 the complainant. Some time ago the
members of the borough council ob
tained nn Injunction which had the
same object in view us the one secured
yesterday by Mr. tiullagher. The first
injunction was dissolved by the court
Monday.
In the first action the claim wns made
that the street railway company had no
light by any ordinance of the borough
to lay tracks. The company produced
the ordinance properly signed and at
tested, und the council held that the
ordinance was not recorded as required
by law. It was held that if the ordin
ance 1st not recorded that is the fault of
the borough, and the borough cannot
profit by its. own error and the court
took this view of the case.
This time tin. plaintiff Isa tax payer
who seeks to restrain the company
from laying tracks on Gallagher street
and other streets in the borough. He
owns conslerable property and says
that the construction ot the road Would
work hint great injury.
in this case it Is thought that ns the
plaintiff is not responsible for tin- keep
lug of the borough books he Is not bound
by neglect of council in failing to record
the ordinance, und therefore I hut lie has
standing In court. The Injunction is
returnable Saturday.
MONTGOMERY WAS WARNED.
He Thought So and His Death Soon
followed.
While Robert .Montgomery was work
ing us a pump runner in his chamber
in the Wanamie colliery. No. 18lhe says
he felt the presence of sumetliiug super
natural. It was some minutes before he
could see uiiything, but then he man
aged to discern tlie dim outline of a
man, with a warning finger upraised.
He. spoke to the person, but received
no answer.
He ut once left the mine and told his
friends he hud received warning of
death, nor could any argument con
vince him that it was merely a case of
hallucination. He could not be per
suaded to return to the mine.
A couple of days after he hud seen
the apparition he refused to leave bis
bed, und. ultliough u physician told him
he was not sick,' Montgomery could not
be convinced. Although no sickness
manifested Itself, lie grew weaker and
died on Saturday. He wus a soldier in
the wur of the rebellion. Nanticoke

tVILL DISCUSS IT LATER.
Tax Committee Report Favorably on
the Itcgun Resolution.
The- tax committee of select council
met last nigitt to pass upon the Regan
resolution advising the board of revis
ion and apneals to order a new city
assessment for lS!i", but us the mutter
Is of such vast Importance It was
thought best to have It discussed in
council and so agreed to report It favor
ably with the Information that the
committee had not discussed its merits.
It will come up tonight und will
It Is expected be the subject of u warm
debate. Those in favor of it will base
their urguinents on the crying need of
more revenue and the justice of u more
equitable assessment. Its opponents
will argue that it Is not right to raise
the taxes in these hard times and that
the city can get along for two years
more with the present assessment.

MAD DOG SCARE
AT PECKVILLE
Watchman William Whitehead at On
tario Breaker Bitten.
HIS HAND BADLY LACERATED
W ith the Assistance of Minor Crait;.
the Watchman Succeeded in (letting
the Dog Into a Pump House. Where
It Was Killed by hieLol-Police
Hicbard James, ofPeckvillc.
A mad dog created an abundance of
excitement in the vicinity of Peckvllle
last night. It was a large black mas
tiff of tremendous strength and in
spired terror in all who saw it.
The dog was owned by onie one on
the Ridge near Archbuld ami made its
appearance at the Sturges shaft near
Peckvllle tibout 7.:'.0, rushing into the
engine room where pump runner A.
Williams, engineer R. T. James und
FlieinaiL William James were. They
seized pieces of iron as weapons to de
fend themselves from the brute- which
was springing at them in un enraged
way.
Finally the dog made a desperate
leap toward Williams and his teeth
fastened iu the jucket worn by the
pump runner. A portion of It wus torn
into shreds from his body but fortun
ately the teeth did not reach the flesh.
Hy means of the plcNs of iron the men
succeeded In beating the unimul away
from Williams and it then darted from
the engine house und started for the
Ridge.
It was given a clear path by those
who saw it coming but managed to
implant its, teeth in three cows ud ns
many dugs that crossed its range of
vision while) It was darting hither and
thither about the Ridge.
For so rut reason the mad niiiuial
again left tlie Uidge and went to the
Ontario breaker near Peckvllle where
It encountered the watchman, William
Whitehead. He gave it battle and was
bit in the leg and huud. The fireman at
the breaker. Minor Craig, came to
Whitehead's, assistance and the dok
was finally forced into u pump bouse
and locked there.
Word wus went to Chief of police
Richard James, of Peckville, w ho soon
afterwards arrived at the breaker and
killed the brute with several bullets
from his revolver.
Whitehead's huud Is quite badly lac
erated. The wound on his leg Is not
xi serious.

Mr. Law In his otlice. Mr. Derrlg. act
ing as spokesman for the others, said
that they called to request Mr. Law
to continue the work of excavating for
the bodies of the entombed men.
Mr. Law answered and said he was
perfectly willing to do so, providing the
men would sign a paper releasing the
company from all responsibility.
Mr. lerrig then said that it was their
wish that the mines should nut be ope
rated w hile the entombed men remained
unfound.
Mr. Ijiw answered that the company
had done all in their power to rescue the
men when It was thought they were
alive, and continued that work after it
was known that all hope was gone, hut
that now the lives of those who were
alive should be considered, lie also said
that hundreds of miners had come to
him begging for work, saying they
were out of employment since the dis
aster, and he thought it his duty to
relieve the wants ot those.
The women then left the office dis
