A suit was comtiicnccd last evening In
.lustlco Swcarlnpen's court , which promises
to Involve a number of Council Bluffs men
in a criminal suit. Stephen A. Mutholland ,
who lives in Omaha , is the doJendent , and
bo Is charged with conspiracy to defraud
Cnpfnln W. A. Hares ' of this city out of
property valued at $ . ' ) ,000. According to
tlnyos1 story , Multiolluiid came to him
several months ago and represented himself
as the owner of iomo property in Kentucky ,
which be hud paid ttt per aero for , and ho
wantrd to sell or trade It for property In this
state. After .some dickering a bargain wiis
struck , and Hayes agreed to take the Ken
tucky property off Mulboliand's ' hands.
giving him In exchange some Iowa land.
The papers were drawn up and recorded , and
Hayes was tickling hlmsrU to thlnx what a
good bargain no had made , when n change
came over the spirit of his dream.
Ho happened to mention the matter 'o
Henry Heecroft thu other day , and was sur
prised to learn that Heecroft had entered
into a bargain of thosamu kind , nnd had af
terwards found that he liad unloaded a lot of
good property for some land that had no ox-
Istencc , save in the imagination of tno man
who took nlm in. Hayes decided to look tlio
matter up , and was horrified to tltrtl that ho
had been victimised iiituosntno manner. Ho
claims to have tno evidence of the ofllclals of
the Kentucky county where the land was
suppobcd to bo located thai , there ia no land
answering to that description in that vicin
ity. A part of tno purchase price of
the hind was paid uy Miilhollnntl in notes
seemed by mortgages on the sumo property ,
and the notes am consequently not worth the
paper they were written on. He accordingly
had Mulliolland arrested.
The other pu-tlos connected with the case
and who are charged with conspiracy along
with Mulliolland are thrco well known real
esUln men of this city , ono of whom endorsed
the notes , another drew up the papers , while
the third negotiated tbo deal. Hayes says
that after ho has finished Mulholland's case
ho will taltc tbo other threein their regular
order , and will have them arroslea on a like
charge. _

Chicago Tribune : The spiritualists
have itintltatod a claim upon Alirntinm
Lincoln as ono of their number which is
purely sonMilionnl and not sustaiiu-d bv
fuels. It may bo that Mr. Lincoln at
tended seances just as many ether per
sons have done who are not bolii'vnrs in
the doctrines. If every person wcro
to bo claimed as a believer who lias at
tended sonnccs and listened to mediums ,
spiritualism probably could claim as
large a following as almost any sect in
the country. Mr. Lincoln , in his ef
forts to relieve the care and strain of
olllcial business , which bore moro heav
ily upon him than upon any other presi
dent , wns in the habit of diverting his
mind and seeking relaxation in various
ways. JJo was a frequent , attendant
at humorous lectures , at the minstrel
shows , the circus and the theater ; but It
would bo as consistent to claim ho was a
lecturer , a negro minstrel , circus rider
or actor MS to claim ho wn.su spiritualist
bccaiiho ho was present to witness the
mnteriulix.ations and nmchinntlons of
mediums , which ho may have rouardcd
as curious and which may have served
him as a relaxation ,
The story was started by Mrs. Colbttrn
Maynard , a medium , who avers not only
that ho was In the hnbit of visiting me
diums , but ihut he had spiritualistic
seances nt tlio white house , consulted
mediums as to affairs of state , ibsmed tlio
emancipation proclamation through the
advice of mediums , and wont to the front
to ascertain the condition of the troops
after being advised by a medium to do
so. Major Bundy , who is a very conservative
sorvativo spiritualist , and tlio open
enemy of spiritualistic charlatanry of
all kinds , has given his testimony in a
cautious manner. IIo says :
"There can be no question but that Mr.
Lincoln sat in seances , and repeatedly
had mediums at the white house. 1
knowpositivoly that through his investi
gations ho been me convinced of the con
tinuity of life and of communication be
tween the two worlds. IIo was an un
usually cautious , discreet man , and while
quite probable that ho received advice
from the spirit world , it is also certain
that ho never blindly followed it. It
would have to conform to his own bettor
judgment before being adopted. It is a
fact , as lias boon stated , that Lincoln
held bounces during the winter of 1S04-
' 0 < " > with Charles Colchester and Charles
Foster , the well known mediums , and I
also am able to say confidently that ho
held seances with Mrs. Nettie Colburn. "
Major Bundy adds that Mrs. Lincoln
was it confirmed spiritualist and that
after tlio death of her husband she spent
many weeks with mediums. It is easy
to believe thia , us it is well known that
during the latter part of her
life Mrs. Lincoln was not only eccentric
hut in a condition of mind bordering
upon insanity. But this has no bearing
upon the life of the president , who wns
a practical , sensible , hard-headed man ,
particularly In everything having any
connection with religious belief or with
human conditions after death. Mr. John
G. Nicolay , his private bccralury , who
was with him day and night in the white
house , and who certainly is in a position
to know whereof ho speaks , has ex
ploded the spiritualists' sensation by a
flat denial of the claim. IIo declares
without equivocation that Mr. Lin
coln was not a spiritualist and had
no leaning in that direction. IIo
lias never hoard before of seances
at the white house and ho nf-
lirms they could not have occurred with
out his knowledge. Mr. Nicoluy says :
"Of course , I liavo no doubt that Air.
Lincoln , like a great many other men ,
might have had some curiosity as to
spiritualism , and ho might have ut-
toncod some of these seances solely out
of curiosity. But ho was the last man
in the world to yield to any ether judg
ment than that arrived at by his own
mature deliberation. IIo wns not sunor-
stitious , nor did ho have any spiritual
istic tendencies. I have attended
spiritualistic Bounces , not because I be
lieve in thorn , but because I was curious
to see tl'o proceedings. They were such
manifest humbugs that I usually came
away disgusted. If President Lincoln
over attended seances , as alleged , it was
with this same feeling of curiosity. But
I do not remember that oven curiosity
ever impelled him to attend a pounce.
IIo had moro important business on
hand during these days. In any event
I can say without the slighost qualifica
tion that a soutico never occurred in the
white houso. "
Tills should bo sulllciont to sot this
silly story ut rest. As Mr. Nicolay says ,
and us everyone believes who Know Mr.
Lincoln and the motives which prompt
ed him. it was his judgment In all cnsos
which directed affairs and not the clap-
trup of modiumpnnd to this extent Major
Bundy himself has berne correct testi
mony. It is of Httlo or no consequence
what Mrs. Lincoln may have thought of
spiritualibin. Mr. Lincoln did his own
thinking .uid no man of tils time was
cloaro.r from superstition. It is a little
singular In any event If Mr. Lincoln's
omuncipution proclamation were thu outcome -
como of mcdiumlstic suggestion that the
splrltuulibts should have wuitoa twenty-
iilno years before making thnii * claim.
If it were an authentic ono they would
not have waited a year to sttcuro for
themselves the prestige of such a world
wide famous event.

Patrick O'Brien , M. P. , at n meeting today ,
declared that William O'Hrlon In n conversa
tion with htm when the O'Shoa dlvorco pro
ceedings wcro p3iidlng , promised to adhere
to Mr. Parnoll whatever the bishops did.
Mr. O'Hrlon in a speech this evening snld
that the Koilinond and Harrington manifesto
was n tissue of grotesque falsehoods. Just
imagine , ho said , four Irish members of par
liament asking the Irish bishops to withdraw
their letter and to repeal tbo sixth command
ment. The only existing copy of the Hou-
lopno proceedings was In the hands of Mr.
Purnoil's representatives. It was a ho to say
that ho made a second copy nnd destroyed It.
It was equally n lie to say that they offered
Mr. Parncl ! tno right to veto thu homo rule
bill. Thu only proposal irmno was a solace to
Mr. Parnoll , to give him n consultative volco
with Mr. McCarthy on the details of the
future bill. Mr. O'Brien concluded by read
ing a telegram trom Mr. Gill , conhVming his
version of the affair.
Lnta tonight n crowd Of Parnollltos at
tacked nnd stoned a body of McCarthyltcs

Party of Tourists In Jup in.
VicioniA , B. C. , Nov. 5. The steamer Sus
sex , just arrivo.l from Japan brings word
that five English naval ofllccrs on leave , met
with Americans , all brothers , named Castle-
ton , from Philadelphia , and together formed
a plan to climb to tlio .summit of I''ujl Vanil ,
the sacred mountain of Japan , taking with
thorn rockets and a few fireworks which thov
intended to explode when tnoy reached it.
Having secured two iruldcs they started on
their journey from among a gtoup of astound
ed natives of the village of ICulusho on tno
west side of the mountain.
The guides at the end of two days signified
their intention to commit sulcido i'f the party
did not turn back and on tlnding ih.it their
throat had not the desired effect , coolly
walked in front of the tourists and uac.li with
a stroke of a sharp knlfo disemboweled him
self before their horritlcd oyos. Both died
instantly and the youncostof the Castloton
brotheis , a boy of 18 , immediately pulled out
a revolver and blow out his own brains.
Sickened by this fearful scone , the rest of the
party turned back and descended the moun
tain taking with them young Castleton's
body.
They were forced to leave it behind after
the 11 wt day , and after lieutenant Brown
had repeated the burial service of the En
glish church , they throw it Into n irlacior
craek several hundred feet deep and loft It
there. After two or mortf days of very hard

Bnni.ix , Nov. 5. The susnsnslon yester
day of the firm of Hirsehfold & Wolf , the
bankers , of this city , caused a sensation in
financial circles , but It was as nothing to the
developments of today. It was reported at ,
the tlmo the failure was announced that the
empress of Gornrmy and Prince Henry ot
Prussia were liable to lose a largo amount by
the failure , and that the minister of public
worship. Dr. Von Gossler , bad lost his entire
fortune , and that many members of the most
aristocratic families were involved in tlio
linn's trouolcs. Under such circumstances
a rigid investigation Into the affairs of
Hirschfeld & Wolf was only natural. This

Special to THE BnK.--Tho ] Herald's Euro
pean edition publishes today the following ;
The radicals who voted on Saturday last
against the ministry have effected a reunion.
Today there was n long discussion In the
chamber of deputies , but It was a dccUlvo
one. M. Camlllc , a Paris deputy , said the
ministry was very popular 111 the country.
Was It not better , ho asked , to support
the administration than to try to overthrow It !
Which was the bettor course to follow I M.
Camillu's advice has been adonted. The
whole thing has boon reduced to an Inter
pretation which will glvo the ministry a new
majority. Wo shall next have an aggressive
speech from M. Clemcriccau In ro ponso to
M. Constans , mlnlstor of the Interior. This
Is Just what the radicals want , who are
preparing fur the approaching elections.
Nevertheless , the ministry mnv lese murally
If not numerically , but U is scon that Its par
tisans hnvo relied too much upon the prestige
which It has gained nbrniui. This mav turn
out badly for the cabinet. The I'Tcuch
do not euro to do favors for for
eigners. Thu government of Charles X
was overthrown bocatiso it was neci'sod '
of intriguing with foreigner. * . Minister
Constans may be overthrown the moment
that it is noised abroad that ho Is Influenced
by foreign Influences. .In-cji-ns ST. Ci.ui : .

UK WOULD 3IAKK A STIFF.
John McCoy , ox-nldorman of Milwau
kee , tolls a gooil blory in tlio Chicago
Times :
"Fiftocn years ago four good fellows
orgunijwd the Seven by Three club. It
was not designed for permanency. it
was , in fact , put together on hhort no
tice to p'-ovido an evening's sport. Andy
Ilagoinan , who dealt faro ; Charlie llan-
kinson , who kept a place of his own ; a
tall young man from Denver , friend of
Hnnkiiison's , and myself were the char
ter memhorb of the club. About 0 o'clock
ono Saturday Ovoniug wo till sat down
together in IJankiuson's place to enjoy
a social game. At 110 : ! ! the game came
to an end.
" 'What shall it boi" said Ilngomau.
" 'Lot's go body-ail itching , ' snidl. 'A
good still' ought to DO worth consider
able just now. '
" 'What ? ' demanded the young man
from Denver. The boy was evidently a
good deal surprised.
" 'Uody-hiiatching , ' snys L
" 'For' mutual protection against a
possible informer I think wo had bettor
organ i/.o an oath-bound society , ' said
Ilagcinnn , solemnly. As ho spoke his
gir/.o was fastened critically on the
trungor from the west.
'So it was decided to form tlio Seven
by Thrco club. I was elected president.
No other ollicors were needed , finge
rnail led tlio w i.y down to the Farwoll
avenue street car barn , where ho libliod
out a number of long hooks , used to
manipulate wires , overhead ropes , etc.
" 'What aio these tlungsV asked young
Denver.
' "Chin hooks , ' says H.igoman.
" 'What ? '
' "Chin hooks , just the thing to lift a
body with. '
" 'Now , ' said I , when each man had
boon provided with a 'chin hook , '
'Ilagoinan will go after a horse and
wagon , while the balance of us wait hero
in the shadow until lie gets back. '
"Ilorso and wagon i" says Denver ,
'how far do you have to go after those
' "
bodies' :
' 'Oh , about iivo miles into the
country ; out to Calvary cemetery,1
says 1.
" 'That'll too far , ' says Dunvor , 'and if
you'll just wait a minute I'll ni'iko a stiff.
It's lots easier than going so far to dig
ono up. '
"Then ho pulled out a trun about two
feet long and sat down to wait for the
first man that passed. The rest of us
stood the suspense as long as wo could
about iivo niinutos ; but when wo heard
a quick stop around the corner and saw
young Denver raise the gun to a level
with his eye , our nerve gave out ; wo
gavoayoll together and ran for dear
life. I have never tried to guy a western
man since that night. "
