The rapid transit introduced by tie
street railway syndicate on its electric sjs
tern is too lively for Davenport croakers
who are beginning to howl already. Th s
causes the Davenport Times to remark
that Davenport would be far better off if
it could have a dozen first-class funerals
and the greater part of the population
would rejoice to themselves over such an
event. The Times continues: "Our city
would take its place in the front ranks if
it were not for a few stubborn fogies who
seek to hold the city 10 years behind the
times. Some half a dozen of these over
grown grangers have called upon Mr
Louderbaek, of the syndicate, and remon
strated against the rapid runnrog of the
street cars. It is a pretty etate of affairs
if the masse3 of this city are to be dis
oommoded at the instance of a fttw ducks
wh seldom ride on a car, and who have
their horses and buggies, and can come
and co at their pleasure. Tke masses
object to this kind of dictation and do not
propose to be. hauled around by the no-e
or at a dog trot speed."
In Rock Island the old fogy has
dropped out cf sight entirely, and the
electric cars 6 peed on to their heart's con
tent. With the introduction of electric
carSf our people expected rapid transit;
they got it. and are now enioying and
profiting by it and want it to stay with
them.

CHICAGO, June 6. Insurance Adjuster
C. V. Peckham, of ZH LaSaHe street, like ,
a good many other men, has a leaning to
ward spiritualism. He beliewa in some
of the phenomena which people see who go
to the back parlor seances. But when he
folded one ef the angels ra his arms at
May Bangs' seance Thursday night and
found that the angel was not impalpable,
but was fat little May Bangs, the younger,
he became somewhat incredulous. He
doesn't believe niuoh in 'transfiguration."
aa th Spiritualistscall it. In fact, it isn't
heavy odds taut if Mr. Peckham were to
ineet one of his own relatives at the door
of a cabinet and were to recognize him he
wouldn't pick up a hair and chase the
spook over the divide again.
Keen Frequently Kxposed.

could not eXHCtlr say !, did!
not believe that the Bangs s-ist-or were

him about the seances, in the end e
agreed t take the friend, who is au i:sr.r
ance man, out to May Iiu' Lxtme to trv
an experiment. They wwit cut Thursday
night. The parlor was fnfl, as nsual. .Mr.
Feckliam took one o the front sears, nl
his friend .-tood near the chatitlelier.
There was a common cooler pvrfonn
ance in th cabinet and a stout gfcost
naniwl Mine. Biavatsky oanie out and dis
apjeared.
Called for Mie Ansel Child.
Then Mr. Peckham called for Hi-?, the
angel child. Kosy, the angel child, is a
frequent callor at tire Bangs sisters'
seances. irLe sometimes is Mamlie, ti e
angel child, or Belle, the angel child, but
lately she has ix-en mostly Hony. In re
sponse to the call Koy, the angel child,
moved slowly out. In the dim light cri tLj
room she looked angelic and sae tiig au

"Who are you?" asked Mr. Peckham.

Oh! I know you Mr. Pex-k-hsuu. find 1

Yes, indeed. it was Little May

As soon as Rosy, the angel child, fainted

room. He got in just in time to find My
Bangs the elder, in a state of transition
between the other world and this. In fact
she was hurriedly getting out of Mme.

Mr. Peckham blushed, but his em
barrassment lasted only for a moment.

A MOST DASTARDLY CRIME.
Hon Mm Human Devils Treated a De
fenseless Girl at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, June C. -Jennie Long,
aged IS years, of Olney, was at an earlj
hour yesterday fonnd in a dazed condition
at Fourth and York streets by Policeman
Heath. Failing to get a satisfactory story
from her, he took her to the statiou house
and phtoed her under the charge of the
matron. The girl was suffering great
mental agony, and as soon as she bad
been sufficiently q.uieted she told the
matron a horrible assault had leeu com
mitted upon her. She stated that on
Wednesday she came to the city in search
of employment, and while walking around
she encountered an unknown man. who
induced her to go to the house of David
Burns. 1,617 Xbrth Second street.
Her Desperate i-uggles Were Vain.
She had not been there long before one
cf the men called her into a rear room.
On going in the door was shut and locked
behind her, and she was made a prisoner.
Here she was kept f or aa hour with the
man, who made known to her in brutal
tones the object of her confinement. The
girl fonght desperately against the man's
advances, but her strength gave way to
the power of her oaptor. After the nn-t
brute had tortured the frail girl and con
quered her, he hastily left the room. One
by one the otlier men entered, until t he
poor eirl had been made the victim of the
nine brates who occupied the cmter room.
