Democrats Will Haye a Big Major ity in tie House, WABITENQ TO EEPHBLI0ANS. Every Member Should Be in His Seat During the Short Session National Notes. Special b7 Tho Uxxtkd Press. Wasiiixgtox, Nov. 22. An unoffi cial list of tho members of the house in the fifty-Eecond congress, which has been compiled in the office of the clerk of the house is as nearly correct as any list can be until all the cer tificates of congressmen are received. Even then it is not likely to be changed as tho list has been prepared witb care, and in nearly every instance from official returns. It is interesting because for the first time it gives a really definite idea of the political complexion of tho next house. It8hows that 222 democrats have been elected on tho straight ticket, the number of republicans being ninety-two. It gives the farmers' nllianco a representation of seventeen, but of this number twelvo come from the South, aud will naturally act with tho democratic party, this swelling the lattor's aggregate vote to 231. The democratic majority over the republicans is therefore 130, or 142, counting the twelve alliance men rs democrats. SULLIVAN AND II IS "JAG." The Actor Pugilist Knocks His Employer Out.

New York, says: "1 have been a martyr to bilious head ache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretion in diet, overfatigue, or cold, brings on a fit of indigestion, to bo followed by a headache lasting two or three days at a time. 1 think I must have tried over twenty different remedies, which were recommend as certain cures by loving friends, but it was no use. At last I thought I would take a simple courso of purgation with Bbandreth's Pills. For the first week I took two pills every night, then one pill for thirty nights; in that time I gained three pounds in weight, and never have had an ache or a pain since." Disease In one part of the body will eventually fill the whole body with dis ease. Every year or two some part of the system grows weak and begins to decay. Such part should be removed at once, and new matter be allowed to take its place. There's no need of cut ting it out witn a surgeon's scalpel. Purge away the old, diseased and worn out parts with BitANDitETn's Pills. A MATERIALIZED SPIRIT. Snien Interruption of a Seance In TMs City, THE "GHOST" WAS PBE8ENT. It Tried to Bun But Was Caught And Proved to Be Fleah and Blood A Grand Fxpose. For nearly two weeks there hca been held every evening at different residences in this city spiritualistic seances, conducted by a female me dium of remarkably attractive appear ance, assisted by a husband or cousin, both of whom came from Portland recently, and took up their temporary residence in this city. While there are here many good people who believe in spiritualism, it is not the provinco of this article to reflect in any way discreditably upon them or their faith, but it will, how ever, be clearly Bhown that the mater ialization seance of Friday evening was a downright fraud and a palpable deception. About fifteen persons were present by invitation, all of whom were ex cellent people, well known and re spected in the community, most of whomwerespiritualists, the remainder going because invited, and simply to see if anything could be clearly dem onstrated as of spirit origin, and if so, they were prepared to believe it on practical illustration or proof. Across the corner of the room in which the guests were seated, a cur tain had been hung, thus forming a temporary cabinet, and in this corner the fair medium took her seat, with the husband or assistant just outside the curtain. Various spirits wero then said to control the medium, one called Mellie, purporting to be a small child who acted as guide, and another, who wa3 called a doctor. Mellie had something to say to nearly all present, and dimly appeared in tho dark room outside the curtain as an indistinctly defined figure, not appear ing plainly enough to show more than the outline of the face, neck and shoulders. One by one in the room were called up by Mellie, the child spirit guide, and as the individual came near the curtain, there seemed to gradually come up from the floor, a dimly out lined figure, purporting to bo some departed relative of the individual who had been called to the curtain. One of these figures claimed to be the materialized male relative of Miss Edith Bishop, who had a Mss for her, but when she wished to ascertain if it was a spirit, and placed her arm around the waist, she felt the corset of a woman and tho top of the gathered skirts of a woman at the waistband, and then Miss Bishop naturally dis believed the genuineness of the mater ialization, but said nothing. Then little Mellie was behind the curtain and seemed very friendly to all, and in childish tones expressed a desire to kiss those present One after another of the fifteen in the room went up to kiss the spirit child, until J. "W. Conn had not been called, he having been the only one over looked, so he asked Mellie if she was going to kiss him, too. "I don't know you," said Mellie. "Are you the man with the big whis kers? "Yes," replied Mr. Conn. "All right," said Mellie, "Come up here and I'll kiss you." So Mr. Conn walked up to the cur tain which appeared to be partially opened and the dim outline of a face was seen which he kissed, and though tho face was covered by a lace or thin mask, he is confident, by the recollec tions of the gallant days of his young manhood that it was a woman's lips he kissed, which belonged to tho face of a woman and not to a child. Mrs. Conn was also called to the curtain and the materialized form of her mother was claimed as before her, and talked kindly to her, but when Mrs. Conn said, "If you are my mother, call me by the name you called me in my childhood," the ma terialized spirit could not do it, and Mrs. Conn does not believe in the genuineness of the materialization. Then all were invited to arrange their chairs so as to form a circle, the little glimmering of light which had been allowed to shine into the room so as to allow a person to see enough to walk to the cabinet, was carefully excluded, and the room was in total darKness. All present wqM, luviieu iu juiu liauua uuu uuservo per fect silence, that the spirits might materialize and come in the circle. After a few moments of quiet, a materialized form appeared in the circle, and walking from one to an other shook hands with each person. When the alleged spirit reached Mr. Conn and extended the tips of its hngers, he wanted more than this and grasped the hand, which he states was the genuine hand of a live woman if he is any judge of such. As the clasp of hands was released he quickly seized the wrist, and passed his left hand up the right arm, which ho held, and neck, face and head of the spirit, but found it a large and well formed woman about the size of Maud Jones. Standing up in front of her as he did this, he suddenly threw his left arm around the waist and found in his grasp a woman weighing about 160 pounds. Up to this time not a word had been spoken and none of the rest of the company knew the exciting scene which was being en acted in their midst The spirit tried to free herself from his grasp, but he held her tightly, with the intention of exposing the fraud and shouted, "Open the door." Then the spirit laid hex face close to his and hurriedly whispered: "For God's sake don't expose me I Don't, oh don't I" But it seemed that the door could not be opened, and he started for it with his struggling captive. As soon as Mr. Conn ordered the door opened, the assistant or husband of the medium shouted "No you don't," and springing forward at tempted to release the medium, and one of the faithful guarded the door. PRICE FIVE CENTS Then followed quite ascufile, Conn holding to his prisoner and she strug gling to get away, nianifesting alto gether too much strength for so ephemeral a being as a spirit, while the assistant was also aiding her, and several others tried to interfere. At last their combined efforts were successful and Mr. Conn reluctantlv let go his hold, and went out of the room. Tlra medium went behind the ourtain, which was at once barricaded by a few of the faithful, to prevent any more interference. Mr. and Mrs. Conn and Mim Edith Bishop are convinced that the pre tended materialization of disembodied spirits at that seance was an unmiti gated humbug and a species of palpa ble deception which ought to be ex posed and the two frauds driven out of town for thus trying to deceive people and cheat them out of money by pretending to call up the spirits of the departed. Several others of the fifteen present, are also satisfied that the whole thing is a farce and deception, but did not wish their names mentioned. The medium and her assistant went across the river yesterday, intending to hold seances all this week and do a rushing business, but will probably think As toria is not a congenial clime, and go to other fields and pastures new.
