TERRIBLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT!— Yesterday afternoon Abram D. Allen, a well known and highly esteemed citizen of Ilonev Creek township, accidentally shot himself, causing immediate death. He saw a hawk near his house, and telling his wife to watch it, took down his gun, and to ascertain whether'it was loaded, pushed the hammer of the cock back, and was in the act of blowing into the muzzle, when his foot slipped and the charge in the gun passed up through the brain and lodged in the back part of the head. He did not speak afterwards and died in a few minute.?. He leaves a wife and one child.

COURT.—The cae of the

State iv. Zerubabel Rukcs, charged with manslaughter, in killing William White last summer, near the line dividing this and Vnrke counties, was commenced in the Criminal Court yesterday. Judge Grain presiding. Messrs. Hanna, Mack and Hurst—the latter from Kevins township—appeared for the State, and Messrs. Allen and Simpson, of this city, [Ion. T. N. Riee, of Rockville, and Sewell Coulson, of Sullivan, for the defense. A jury was empannclled, as follows: Culpepper Ixe, C. C. Smock, Byron Demnisj, Solomon Leake, EraMus Church, N. F. Cunningham, Isaac Beauehamp, J. G. Minniek. Asburv Kettle, William Huffman, Alex. Parsons, Benj. Finkbine.

The testimony for the Stale was all taken yesterday, and the defense were examing witnesses when the Court adjourned.— From the statement of tne defense made by Mr. Allien, it appears, that White, the deceased, was a quarrelsome, desperate, character, and had hunted down the defendant, threatened to kill him, had called him a coward, and all manner of names. Finally Rooks agreed to go to Kosedale and fight White, but on the day appointed, instead of doing so, he went to plowing in his fild. White came along, some words passed, Rooks, climbed over the fence, and taking up a piece of a fence rail—White also having a cl'ib in his hands, a fight ensued. On the second blow Rooks struck White on the head, inilicling such injuries as to ca-ise death soon after.

The defense have marshalled a large arrav of witnesses, to prove character, etc.,' of the defendant. Tho case will probably be given to the jiny this after

noon.

VENI VIDI VIC I!

A sense of duty impels us to make the following disclosures regarding the "wonderful child" who (according to communications published in the paper's of an adjoining city, as well as brief and mysterious allusions in our own papers) has caused such a marvellous sensation among the Spiritualists, confirming their faith, uprooting and tossing to the winds the usual logic of the skeptics, shaking orthodox believers from their "sure' foundation" - eclipsing the far-famed Davenport boys and revolutionizing things generally. We hea of her, and "went for to see," to satisfy curiosity, for such manifestations wee a novelty to us, and also to thoroughly investigate the matter in order to establish its truth or falsity in our own mind.

A slender girl of 15 or 1(3 years, nea ly dressed in a plain brown material wearing a linen collar fastened by a small pin, to which was fiu-pended a gold chain, bright prominent eye--, well shaped nose and mouth, and a plcasan'. smile hair brushed back and hangingJoose iboutthe neck a plain gold ring upon rhe third finger of the left hand ear-rings lasting gaiters and whi'e dockings.

A coincidence,

to say the least! --iC Almost instantly the bolt is thrown back, the doors opened and the girl is calmly occupying the scat with her hands firmly tied behind her. The Committee report that she is'secured just as they left her, prior to the

wonderful

manifestations,

Now conies the great sack demonstration. The article is composed of two breadths of dark calico about six feet in length, stitched together at the selvage edges, open at the ends, with drawing tapes at both extremities. It is examin ei thoroughly inside and out the sew ing ia pronounced all right—there arc no openings except at the ends, and the sing ular garment is drawn over the form of the medium. The committee-men draw the tapes

a caput

a pedal,

and

bow-knots and

tic them in

the knots. Now let us

see her get out of the bag without breaking the seals. The doors are again closed and in a very short time arc open the ropes which were on the shelf have disappeared! Where are they? The Committee search the wrtrd-robe— the}' are gone! Some one suggests that the hands of the medium shall be felt through the sack. This is done, when lo! her hands are tightly tied behind her back. Again the doors are closed and there are no manifestations for nearly

ten minutes,

and

on opening the doors once more, the girl is sitting with untied hands, and the sack is lying upon the shelf neatly rolled up. The Committee examine it thoroughly and pronounce it whole and the seals unbroken. This is a "poser" to the unbelievers, and thegrPiit "test" in the present,'series of manifestations.

Before advancing our theories concerning what we have related, we will describe the concluding act in the performances

the evening. The Committee proceeded to tie her securely, and it did seem as though she could not possible untie herself. One of the committee was provided with some printer's ink, and while making the final examination of the knot, he adroitly rubbed some of it on the palm of her left hand and in closing the door he he smeared a portion on the knob of the bolt—Very soon tho instruments were heard giving forth very unmusical sounds then a hand appeared and was withdrawn soq'r.ckly (hat it could not be examined: aga'.n it came in view, spread wide open, and a

grc ii black spot in the pulm.

•V few more demonstrations aud the doors were flusg open and the girl was on the :?cat, tied firm bv the strip at her back. But what.is the matter with her mouth? four or five black spo's on her lips excite remark, and the CommiMee upon examination report that it i- printer's ink!— Farther search Gnds ir

It was a

moment ot surprise and humiliation—the exposure was so unmistakable, and the deception was so palpable that a feeling of pity prevaded ihe minds of those who were present for the child who had been practising such an imposture. Bui the "forces" soon came to her rescue. She was placed in an

condition, and

aver/ illiterate spirit, professedly speaking through her medium ship, attempted an explanation of the last phenomenon by saying that in materializing the hands any mark or stain that is on the hands of the medium will be transferred to the spirit hand. (Query.) How did the ink get on the medium's mo ith? It was not placed there by the committee, not did it coma from the whistle, for no ink was smeared upon that instrument the stain

have resulted from contact with the bolt the latter was stationary consequently the girl leaned over and slipped

to tie her still more securely, and leav her, satisfied in their own minds that she "can't get away." The doors are again closed, and immediately bolted on the inside in a short time

wood or iron or other ina'nimate substances. How then can you operate iijwn printers ink?"

No answer followed. The "leader," and the voice of the medium ran into a torrent of niigiiinimaiicUl invective, evincing great discomfiture on her part. A half hour was consumed in a rapid discussion of some places of socalled spiritual development, mingled with strained logic and filtered commonplaces underneath all a keen and stinging i-en-e of exposure, which broke forth in personalities at very short intervals. And thus ended the programme for the evening, with the promise that she would permit further "tests" at a future entertainment.

The medium i^ke(l\«Kelftc./ln e|lifeit\t men would allow what, had transpired, (even admitting rhdt 'the

humbug.) *o

icpose ptav'pA

Now ttfe'tiavo the wonderful array fae* fore us—the tied hands—the hands at the .v indows—the sealed sack and the rope& lie dead-weight and the mystic secrets of the Fraternities^ Let us lay-them, one by one, upon tTie" shelf. The girl's dexterity in untying and tying "common--sense' knots, is indeed wonderful. She c.in slip her left hand in at winkling from any ordinary knot, and replace it sjgain a*, quickly.' When, released from the rope-it can easily oe shown at the opening and no one has yet seen a

right

There are knots, however, that she will not attempt to untie, and these are denominated "lom-foolery knots," so that itis unallowable to secure her in such a way that she cannot' possibly aecofnplish her own release. While the left hand: i,sfree, as just described, it is an easy matter

"upset things generally" inside'rof the cabinet,. This will be conceded without going into detail.

The feealod sack trick.can be performed by any clever artist in that line of business. The drawing string at the throat is stiilieiently loose to admit of the passage of a finger from the inside of the sack this finger is Teady to hook upon the rope, which, having been grasped by the other hand, with the intervening calico also in the hand, is passed up to the head, the rope is then easily drawn inside, and can be adjusted at pleasure,.by tying the hands or otherwise. The unbroken seals do not seera wonderful in the light of this explanatibri. The upper seal is broken by the untying of the bow-knot by the medium, enlarging the opening, and slipping the sack from his person. This can be accomplished in a minute or two. How are the other five or six minutes occupied? The upper opening is carefuliy adjusted by the drawing-string to its original size when about the neck ,of the medinm, a bow' knot is tied, and by the use of heat and wax the seal is again intact. The gay: ment is rolled up and placed on the shelf, and this miracle is ready to. be launched upon the audience.,

Again, her weight is undoubtedly in creased—at all events it take3 increased exertion to lift her the second or third at tempt. 'When'fifstlifted',- she Stands nat urally, her lungs fully inflated, and her weight occasion? no surprise. Her entire system is then relaxed, the lungs emptied of air, and it is more difficult to raise her, There, are undoubtedly, in addition to the above, psychological causes for the degree of apparent "weight. Sometimes strong men cannot lift her as easily.as boys do. Yet this is not wonderful, for we are all famliar with the freaks of

agination

Lastly, the signs of the secret orders claim attention.

Hoto

Here rests the case as far AS prosecu ted to this date. We will freely concede that this young girl is wonderfully expert in his manipulations. In all probability her equal in nimblc-flngercd dexterity cannot be duplicated a dozen times in the entire republic, and. were she to use her talent in the line of legitimate legerdemain she would certainly find it a profitable avocation. But when a person deliberately commits such* a transparent fraud as we have described solemnly asserting that it is all accomplished by entraneous causes, then it becomes the duty of the press, and all right-minded and right-headed persons to denounce the means that are thrusling such impositions upon the credulous portion of the com munity. The practiser of such arts should feel the crushing weight of pnblic sentiment, and pause in such a demoralizing career.

There are inquirers among Spiritualists men who are above all suspicion of insincerity, and who value their honor more than their lives. Such a man made the cabinet which has been described, an8 he declared emphatically that no man in Terre Haute would throw the thing overboard quicker than he if he discovered anything like

trickery

connected with the

manifestations. He had entire faith in the "wootlerful girl" a week ago. It is sufficient to st^lp the fact that he has sold his interest in the exhibition and is now an outsider. INVESTIGATOR.
