SOME CINCINNATI GHOSTS.
Weird Experiences That Are Not
Easily Explained.
From ll iii Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is not a very difficult matter for au ob
servant chronicle** to collect among our peo
ple at home, in and about Cincinnati, a
stock of experiences and happenings as mar
velous as any which are recorded elsewhere.
Keeping strictly outside of the class of pro
fessional Spiritual mediums, we note here
several occurrences which rest upon the
testimony of more than one person, and
cannot, therefore, be accounted for as opti
cal illusions or the product of a disordered
stomach, Sufficient reason for withholding
names will be readily discovered in several
of these narratives, and to avoid possible
o'Tense in other cases none are given.
Some years since a well-known resident of
a town not far from this city went with a
friend to see to the division of a crop of
corn which had been raised for him “on
shares.” The raiser of the crop had with
him his friend, and a third man had been
chosen to make up the three who were to
make the division of the crop. Five men
were therefore assembled about the gathered
corn, hut the raiser of tire crop kept sullenly
apart, sitting on an old bob-sled with his
back to the others. His partner in the crop,
the land owner, stood at the opposite side of
the sled. As the appraisement was about to
be made the crop raiser, without turning his
head, roughly said that it -was of no use, for
he had sold the whole crop. Seeing
in this an attempt to defraud him
of his share, the land owner became
furiously angry. Wrenching from its place
one of the stout sled stakes, he raised it
ftbove his head to strike the sitting man op
posite, but at the instant when the cudgel
was poised to descend, it was thrown as if
snatched from the holder’s hand, and fell to
the ground a rod behind him. The man
himself turned half around as if someone
had seized him by the shoulders, and fell,
his head striking the sled rail. Staggering
to his feet, he clutched the arm of the friend
who had come with him, and without a
word to the others the two walked away.
When they were beyond hearing the land
owner exclaimed to his friend, hoarsely and
as if in terror:
“My God! Clem, did you see that? Did
you hear what he said?”
“Hear what?” asked the friend, amazed.
“Why, my father snatched the stake out
of my hands and whirled me ’round so I
fell! Didn’t you hear him say: ‘William,
would you ao a murder?’ His voice was
awful!”
Now, except the threatened man, the
raiser of the crop, who did not turn'his
head until the other one fell, all those
iiresent saw the stake fly from the uplifted
lands of the land-owner,"and in such a direc
tion that he could not have thrown it, at
the same time casting himself to the ground.
None of them, however, heard the ghostly
words which he tremblingly repeated to his
friend. His father had been dead twenty
years.
HIS LIFE WAS SOUGHT.
A physician in a small town on the Ohio,
not many miles away, having l>eeii sum
moned to a consultation in the adjoining
town, prepared to start at daylight next
morning iu his buggy; but just as he was
getting into his bed at the usual hour the
door of the room opened, and his father,
dead for a dozen years, stood before him.
Startled, but not scared, the doctor accosted
the specter:
“Well, pop, what is it?’
The answer came distinctly: “Your life
Is sought. At the cross road by the orchard,
three miles out, a man in a blue shirt and
pants and a slouch hat will be waiting for
you in the morning with a double-barreled
shotgun.
The apparition vanished. This being the
doctor's first ghost, he was suspicious, but a
careful self-examination showed that he was
in every way in his normal condition. He
was about to lie down after reaching this
conclusion, when the door opened again and
the specter stood before him once more.
Precisely the same warning- was given.
The doctor was so uneasy over this
that he delayed his departure in
the morning to get a friend to ac
company him. To the friend he
told the story and was laughed it. It was
also denied that any such cross-road as de
scribed lay at the point named. Ivaughed
at and badgered, the doctor’s faith in the
ghostly warning was weak by the time they
were three miles out; -but suddenly, as they
passed over the crest of a hill, there before
them was the orchard and the cross-road,
and there, also, leaning against a fence and
holding a gun in one hand, was a man in
blue shirt ami pants and slouch hat. The
doctor had put his own gun into his buggy,
and now, as he took it m hand, leaving his
friend to drive, the blue-shirted fellow
turned up the cross-road and made off before
they reached it.
Arrived at his destination the doctor
found that the summons to the consultation
was a trick. They spent most of the day in,
the place, and when they were ready to re-'
turn the doctor went to the stable for his
horse. As he was untying the lmlter-strap
his father’s specter again appeared, this
time standing close to the opposite side of
the horse. The doctor challenged and the
answer was:
“Y our life is sought. When you get
homy you will discover that they have made
5 fire for you in the east room. The woman
will go in there with you and stand leaning
her elbow on the mantel. There will be
only one chair and that will be before the
north window. A pane of glass will be out
01 window. If you sit in the chair the
woman will give three raps on the mantel
ssu another woman will shoot you from the
porch, putting her gun through tho window
where the glass is gone. ”
This was told to the doctor’s friend, who,
somewhat staggered by the verification of
“®, f °nner warning,' did not laugh, but
rather unwillingly consented to stay by and
°ut. All happened as foretold. To
' M A the doctor went without a word to tho
fast. room. The woman, a hired housekeeper,
followed and took her place by the mantel,
fhe friend remained at the other end of tho
house, where a door opened on the porch,
furning the solitary chair in the east room
that he could keep oneeyo toward the win
ow, the doctor sat down and the woman
carelessly rapped three times on the mantel,
instantly the doctor sprang from his chair
in storsl Hat against tho wall by tne side of
we window, but not an instant before a
fan s figure appeared at the window and a
u ,T as l * u ust ' through tho ungin zed sash,

no ins friend were discussing tho affair,

1 the Wue-shu tod and slouch-hat fel-
low seen by the doctor and his friend that
morning waiting by the fence at the cross
road. The enmity of Jack B.’s wife was
eusdy explained. Her husband had sued for
divorce, basing his action upon allegations
of shameful infidelity. The doctor was to
be tlie principal witness against the woman
—the only witness feared by her, it
seemed. She had told her story to the doc
tor’s housekeeper, and said sha only wanted
t frighten him at the muzzle of a shotgun,
into a promise not to testify against nor.
b pon the simple principle of standing by
her sex the housekeeper consented to
play her part in the way that has
been narrated. This woman, taxed
with her complicity, confessed, and the story
went around. The doetor was about to
prosecute Mrs. 8., when the housekeeper,
by whose testimony alone the conspiracy
could be fully proved, suddenly disappeared,
tui<l was not afterwards heard of. She was
j **P wa lk' n g along the river bank at
dusk with two men, one of them Mrs. B.'s
brother liefore mentioned.
Here, it will be noted, there were not only
several witnesses to • the correctness of the
doctor’s ghostly warning, but the very cir
cumstances, varied and somewhat coippli
dated, all fit in like the pieces of a mofeaie.
Ihe doctor’s i aith in JJlus specter visitor is
unshakable, but he flouts all ordinary spirit
ual manifestations.
THE LOST DIAMOND PIN.
Some years ago a gentleman prominent
m business circles in this city took his wife
out for an evening sleigh-ride on the down
river road. At one ot the wayside houses
below South Side they stopped and left the
sleigh for a little time, hitching the horse to
a past in front of the house. When they
reached home some hours after this the gen
tleman discovered that he had lost a valua
ble diamond pin from his shirt-front. Two
hours after they had retired to bed the wifo
awoke her husband, and said she had seen
his diamond pin. He was sleepy and unin
terested.
“Oh, go to sleep,” he said; “you’ve been
dreaming.”
“I have not closed my eyes,” replied the
lady. “But I saw the pin. It is lying in
the snow at the foot of the pfost where you
hitched the horse.”
She repeated this so persistently that he
was at last impressed. They arose early
and at daylight were once more in front of
the wayside house where they had stopped
the evening before. The diamond pin was
lying there half covered bv the snow, pre
cisely as the wife had seen it. This incident
rests upon the testimony of two witnesses,
who are as bright of intellect and as free
from lunacy as any ordinary mortals.
VERY STRANGE.
In a small machine shop in this city
worked a father and his son, the latter being
deaf. 1\ hen they were in different parts of
the room, with their backs toward each
other, and without the interchange of a
word or a look, the son would leave his
work and carry to his father some tool that
the latter suddenly wanted, or start a tire in
the little forge, or do some other service that
became necessary at the moment in the
father’s work. In short, it was not neces
sary to call the son when his father needed
him, but no sooner was the wish or idea of
help formed in the father’s mind than the
son was at hand in response. Neither of
these people made any pretense of spiritual
mediumsnip or magnetic power.
THE FINDING OF THE FORBIDDEN LETTER.
A young lady of 20, who possesses
the well-known gift of finding hidden ob
jects by taking the hand of the person who
hides them, was entertaining four or five
evening visitors at her house on Clark
street a short time ago by practicing her
gift. One after another, the visitors hid
some small article, and the young lady,
holding the hand of the hider, was unerring
ly impelled straight to the hidden object.
At last it came in turn for a miss of
17 to hide something. Slipping a ring
from her finger, she placed it inside the top
of her shoe, and the young lady advanced
and took her hand. At this Instance a deep
flush overspread the face of the miss, and,
quickly withdrawing her hand, she said, in
some confusion, that siie “would rather not.”
Her mother was present, and, thinking
that the daughter’s conduct w.as in
bad taste, peremptorily ordered that the ex
periment proceed. Unwillingly. the
daughter yielded, and again gave her hand.
Instantly the hand of the diviner, not going
to the place where all the others had seen
the ring hidden, drew from the girl’s bosom
a letter. The letter was from a forbidden
correspondent, and the explanation of the
affair was easy. An hour or two before the
girl was nearly surprised in reading the
letter, and hastily thrust it into her lxtsoni.
She had not since had an opportunity to re
move it. At the instant of first taking the
diviner’s hand the thought of this letter had
come upon her, and with it a fear that the
divining hand might go the letter and not to
the ring. She was thus unable to fix her
mind upon the ring, and the unpleasant
discovery of the letter followed as a matter
of course
RATHER FISHY.
A gentleman of tliis citv, a man of high
intelligence and a member of one of the
learned professions, lias for years been in
the receipt of an income by quarterly in
stallments. He never fails to have a dream
about a week before a quarterly payment is
due. The dream is always of fishing, but
the luck varies. If he dreams of catching a
good string of fish, the payment then coming
due is paid with reasonable promptness; if
the string be made up of big w hite bass,
however, he receives bis money on the
minute. If it is a small string of indifferent
fish he knows that the coming payment will
be delayed. For a dozen years this portent
'never once failed in correctness.
THE BLACK HORSE IN A DREAM.
A gentleman in a neighboring city, hav
ing a sum of money to pay, arranged with
the collector to leave the cash at a certain
place. He did so leave it, and then dis
missed the matter from his mind. Six weeks
afterward he dreamed one night of a black
horse upon the hills to the west of his house.
He went to the citv as usual next day, and
no trouble came to him, but when he reached
home at night ho found a notice of suit for
the money he had long before left for the
collector. In the morning he started for the
office of the nearest magistrate to attend te
the suit. This magistrate was a mile north
from the gentleman’s house. There was no
suit there. The gentleman had not looked
closely at his notice, having no idea that suit
would bo brought elsewhere than before the
magistrate lie had visited. " It turned out,
however, that tho caw was before a magis
trate two miles west of the gentleman’s resi
dence, or upon the hills where in his dream
he had seen the black horse. In the first
place, then, he had not anticipated the
trouble at all. Secondly, when he knew of
tiie suit, he took it naturally, and without
thought to be before the magistrate to the
north. Hut tha black home appeared in the
west, and there the suit was.
Not So Sharp aa He Supposed.
Prom thr Pari A Morning tie.uw. ,
A gentleman employed in one of the min
istries and who consequently has considera
ble time at his disposal, was in the habit of
occupying his leisure hours by visiting the
Assize Court and the Correctional Court.
Lost week ho made the acquaintance there
of a young lady of polished manners, who
asked him sonic information concerning a
case in court The gentleman observed, af
ter giving the information asked for, that it
was remarkable that people should allow
themselves to lie taken in so easily, and that
as for liimself he was too sharp for such
things to happen to him. Oneo conversation
commenced, the gentleman invited the un
known lady to dinner. Hlie told her liistory;
she was a governess witiiout employment
ninl had been for some time unable to find a
situation. The gentleman gallantly offered
her the use of his room, etc., until she were
placed, and the offer was accepted. Things
went swimmingly until two days ago, when
the gentleman returned to Ins room and
found t hat, nil the looks in his lodgings hail
been forced and all his money and valuables
—alxmt (1,000 francs in all—had disappeared.
On the table was a note in the lady’s own
handwriting containing only tho words:
“You ore too sharp to allow vourself to lie
taken in, are you not?” The iKilice are
now searching for the unemployed gov
erness.

AN IRISH CONSTABLE’S LOT.
A Talk With Somo of tho Men Who
Resigned Atom the Bailiff Guard.
From the New York World.
Tbestoriisof the inhumanities practiced
by the landlords towards the helpless Irish
tenantry, when read in book or newspaper,
are horrible enough; but when these tales
come direct from the lips of men who have
been eye-witnesses to the occurrences which
they narrate, the wondering query comes to
the listener: Of what material are these
laudlords made ? Seated in a room in tho
Kenwood House, at No. 81 Bowery, a
reporter talked for an hour with
three of the twelve men who arrived here
the other day, having resigned their posi
tions in the Royal Irish Constabulary be
cause they could no longer stand the*sick
ening scenes they were forced to take part
in as guardians of the sheriffs and baliffs
while engaged in coercing the starving ten
ant farmer and turning them out of their
homes. The men were James McNultv, An
drew Mclntee and John O’Rourke, three
fine specimens of sturdy young manhood,
intelligent and full of earnest feelings.
They told of the wa v in which the con
stabulary were distributed all over Ireland,
compelled to be always ready at the beck or
nod of the sheriff or the bailiff to march to
the work of spoliation. Tho constabulary
are held at stations a few miles apart
throughout tho island, eight or ten men usu
ally at each station, although sometimes
there are many more, and the only work
that they are called upon to do is that which
the sheriffs and bailiffs provide for them.
But they are kept busy, very busv, for the
landlord mill never ceases its grinding. “It
would seem that in former yea>-s there must
have heen some little spark of pity in the
heart of the landlord,” said McNulty, “for
it is only within the last six or seven years
that things have came to the dreadful
state that they are in at present. But each
year seems to lie worse than the one preced
ing, and God knows what will happen it the
awful work goes on. There is no profit at
all in the farming. All that a man can
hope to do by his utmost toil is barely to
keep body and soul together in himself and
family. If he falls the least behind in his
rent the bailiffs are upon him at once and
his cattle—frequently it is only a single cow
—are seized upon aiid carried off. Then, if
his land be left to him, it is only that he
may grow- a crop for the landlord, for if he
plucks up heart enough to till the soil down
comes the sheriff upon him as soon as the
crop is grown, his little effects—a stool or
two, perhaps a table and a bad—are flung
out upon the roadside, a can of coal oil is
scattered over the hut that gave him shelter,
the match is applied, and there he is with
his helpless ones, with no roof to cover them
and no morsel of food to stay the cravings
of hunger.
"What does he do? Oh, well, a neighbor
will, if he can, let him sleep a night or two
in an out-house with the pigs and the cattle,
but v.-hat he is ultimately forced to do is to
take to the hedge, throw a few sticks to
gether and crawl under, with the earth for
a bed. Then his wife and his children and
himself must go from house to house, get
ting a morsel of food hero and a morsel
there from big-heai-tcd neighbors who can
poorly spare even that morsel, but who are
always ready to divide the last crust with
those who are still more unfortunate than
themselves. The aged, tho sick, the young
—none are spared, and it is no uncommon
thing for man, woman or child to die upon
the i-oadsicie within twenty-four hours of
their heartless eviction.
“Just how the fiendish the thing is,” said
Mclntee, “may be judged from the fact that
hundreds and sometimes thousands of
pounds are squandered in cases where the
apparent purpose is to collect a few paltry
pounds of rent, but where there is no expec
tation of accomplishing anything but the
ousting of the tenant and the destruction of
his rude shelter. Why, there was au illus
tration of that recently at Donegal, where
£6OO were spent to evict for a back rental
of £lB. Only six weeks ago there was a
case at Dingle, county Kerry, where twelve
families owed an average of tf> each. I was
one of a party of 100 men who
were sent there and kept there for
a fortnight. The people could not
pay because the land was so barren it
wouldn’t produce anything. The people of
that whole section were in a most deplorable
state. I saw about 2,000 of the inhabitants,
and out of the who(le lot there weren’t
twenty who had a pair of boots on. We had
to divide with them the lunches we carried
in our haversacks. "When we got a chance
we would slip a bit to them and they would
devour it ravenously. I saw a widow whoso
child was very sick go to the iandlord and
beg for God’s sake to be allowed to remain
a few- days till the child improved, but the
answer was, ‘No, not if you were my own
mother.’
“But, speaking of the groat sums of
money that are thus expended to effect such
ghastly purposes, they have all to be p aid
by tlio people themselves in the form of a
‘police tax.’ Such occurrences as these are
not at all unusual. They happen every day
from one end of Ireland to the other. In
deed, the people are so accustomed to them
that they have actually forgotten to be
shocked by them. “ But although every case
is bad enough, we now and then saw cases,
the circumstances attending which were
enough to molt a heart of rock. Sometimes
the jiolice get permission to subscribe to a
purse to save tfie evicted family from starva
tion. Jt was not long ago that a woman
named Monahan was being put out at C'ar
rickrnore Cross. She was very feeble and
had a family of small children, one of them
being sick. There was an old broken pot
lying alongside the houso, and as the men
filed by they each dropped what they could
into it. and the priest took it up and carried
it to the woman, adding his own mite to it.
But we might go on and give you such in
stances by the score.
“If it wasn’t for the boys and girls who
come out here to America and send back
home all that they cun save, tilings would
be much worse than they are. But it seems
a shame that this money should go over
there, for every cent of it goes into the
pockets of the landlord. I remember one
woman about to he evicted who pleaded
very hard for time enough to write to
America to ifer son. This boon was granted
to her, and she must have deemed herself
very fortunate indeed, because it was a great,
act of indulgence.”
O’ltourke told of an early morning trip he
had taken with a force of constabulary to a
place named Ivilsarkin in the county Kerry.
Tho bailiffs usually called upon the con
stabulary to accompany them oti their raids
tiefore the sun rose in tne hope of taking the
delinquents by surprise, and seizing upon
their cows before a chance was afforded to
drive them off to a neighbor's place. But a
regular sentinel system was maintained by
tho poor farmers, a large portion of whoso
sustenance came from their cows, and the
approach of the bailiffs would be heralded
while still they went a long way
off. In this case a horn was blown
on top of a lull when the
constabulary wore a mile away from tho
place. It was taken up by a horn on top of
another hill, and thus the alarm was spread.
They were after a jioor woman, whose only
cow was to be seized. The cow escaped at
that time and on a couple of succeeding oc
casions, but was finally captured, and though
the woman lagged that she might tie per
mitted to milk it before it was taken away,
her request was denied.
It was the fact of being forced to protect
the bailiffs und sheriffs white engaged in
such work as this, and ths expectation of a
larger amount of it, should the coercion bill
pass, that induced the thirteen men now
here to resign their positions. They say that
two-‘b , *~'v - ' their Allows are in sympathy
witl. ♦ neni and that, there will lie largo de
fections from the ranks.
