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, at the mark was gone from tho chair, and ™v, and gun vanished hko a Hash. Tho mud at tho other end of tho house rushed ut on the porch in time to see a man jump i" V! at oust end and disappear in a 'UK field of tall corn. While the doctor no ins friend were discussing tho affair, ie latter pointed out a failure in the warn ■ tig. ghost said a woman would try to it you. This was a man. I saw him p l . l llm Pd the fence.” but the doctor was clear that the word of ”"'armng was woman. They were yet ...fV'K “flit' an hour afterward, when three hmt' c ' a,uo in. These men had lieen j mmg nil day, and explained that an hour fl ‘,T° tefore they hurl halted to rest at the m,, r (M !

B.’s wife’s brotlior — 7, l ‘ nvi ; t’ Kisin’ Sun, you know.” 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. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1887. 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. "Utile.
