THROTTLED BY A GHOST.
A WEIRD TALB FROM EIGHTH
AND MORGAN STREETS.
Hatr-Xalatn* Experience of Mr. and
yra. Weder and Their Boarder-A
Ghostly Visitor That Has Created
a sensation.
from the St. louts Republic.
Tbs people livingjn the neighborhood cf
Eighth and Morgan street* are in a perfect
frenzy of excitement over the queer, and,
in some instances, almost blood-curdling
antics of a supposed ghost. Joseph Weder
and bis wife occupy the third floor ot 819
Morgan street, and have living with them
a boarder named Joseph Alback, and the
atory told by all three concerning the ghost
is ss follows:
THK CHAIRS ROCKED.
Friday night Mr. Weder, who is a ma
chinist by trade and employed in a foundry
at Rock Springs, was detained unusually
late at his work and did not return home
until about 10 o’clock. Mrs. Weder, who
was alone in her room about 8:30 o’clock,
was startled to see a rocking chair which
was in the middle of the room rocking
violently without any apparent cause,
gfce watched for a few minutes trying if
possible to discover the cause of the
rocking. Suddenly the chair fell back
ward to the floor, the back of the cbair
resting on the floor. She started
toward it to lift it, but before she got to the
chair it assumed an upright position with
out ativ visible assistance and again began
the violent rocking. She caught hold of the
chair and held it to prevent its rocking, but
as soon as sue let go her hold the chair
began rocking again and just then one of
the other chairs in the room turned over.
Mrs. Weder picked it up and had not more
tbau done so before it again fell over on its
side.
Bv this time Mrs. Weder had become ex
cited by the strange actions of the chairs
and went to the room of her boarder, Mr.
Alback, and asked him to come to her
room arid see the strange manifestations.
As Mr. Alback entered the room there was
a crashing noise, which sounded as if the
whole window sa*h had been smashed, im
mediately after which the rocking chair
stopped its rocking, not settling into a quiet
position gradually, as is usually the case,
but stopped suddenly, and as it did so it
was raised several inches from the floor.
THE DOOR OPENED.
Mr. Alback then locked the room door to
prevent anything than might be in the
room from leaving, and began a search
under the be 1, in the closet, eta, to see if
be could discover any reason for the strange
noise and actions of the chairs. After
stooping down to look under the bed, he
was very much surprised on rising to see
the door which he hud locked a few minutes
before slowly opening without aid from any
visible source. Tne door was again closed,
and after a few minutes again opened. A
foot stool, which was sitting on one side of
tbo room, suddenly flew over to the other
side of the room just as if thr own by some
one. By this time Mrs. Weder was almost
crazy with excitement, and Mr. Alback
promised to stay in her room with her until
tie arrival of her husband.
While waiting f r Mr. Weder, who did
not arrive until 10 o’clock, as stated, the
most strange and unearthly noises were
heard. The noises at times would resemble
the moans and groans of person in great
agony, at others the howling of a dog.
Every possible effort was made to discover
the source from which the unearthly noises
emanated, but without success. Mr. Weder
finally arrived and was told of the strange
h ippeniiigs of the evening. At first he was
a little incredulous, and expressed the
opinion that the vivid imagination of Mr.
Alback and his wife had gotten away with
their reason. It was not very long, how
ever, before his doubts were dispelled,
for while he was in the bedroom washing
his face and hands preparatory to eating
his supper, which was prepared for him
and sitting on a table in the dinning room,
a spoon, which was lying on the table in
the dining-room, was thrown by unseen
hands into the bedroom. A few minutes
after this, while he was seated at the table
eating his supper, an iron poker which bad
been lying on the floor near the stove in the
dining-room suddenly flew through the air
over to the other side of the room and
would have struck Mrs. Weder had she not
dodged quickly.
A WHITE FIGURE AND A CHOKING.
At 11 o’clock Mr. Alback went to his
room and for that night heard and saw
nothing more of a strange character. Not so,
however, with Mr. and Mrs. Weder. They
had begun preparing to retire for the night,
when Mrs. \\ eder left the bed room to go
to the dining-room for a pitcher of water.
As she opened the door between the two
roomsshediscovered standing in the middle
of the dining-room (in which there was no

MARRIEJ IN FUN.
Samuel G. Davis’ Suit to Annul His
Carriage.
Brookltx, N. Y., Oct. 25.—Before Judge
Osborn# in the city court to-day, Samuel O.
Davis’ suit against Annie C. Davis Cos annul
the marriage was on trial. Mra Davis, or
as she calls herself. Miss Plunkett, con
ducted her own defense.
Tho plaintiff testified that in February,
1884, he and one Van Heushaw called on
Miss Plunkett at her mother’s residence in
Marcy avenue. The w.tness proposed to
Miss Annie and his friend to a younger
sister, Minnie, that they should take a walk.
They.consented and the two couples went
out together. O.i reaching the churcn on
South Fifth and Fourth streets Van Hen*
shaw said: “Let’s go in and get married.”
Though witness was only 19, he saw no
harm in It, and they went into th# church
and the w itness and Annie w ere married.
The certificate was signed, but, as he had
no money to pay the iee, the minister re
fused to give it up. They went to her house
and he kissed his wife good night on tne
stoop. He bad not seen her except ones
since 1884, arid that was the Saturday fol
lowing. He had never supported her or
lived with her, for after the ceremony he
thought no more about it. He went to New
A ork to live and thence went south. He
saw the defendant only three or four times
before the marriage, but he guessed he was
fond enough of hsr at the time to marry
her. Though he proposed immediately after
the wedding that they should live together
sh refused.
Van Heushaw testified that he suggested
the marriage in fun, and that bis girl re
fused to marry him.
The defendent testified that on Sunday
before the marriage the plaintiff asked her
to marry him. She refused because she
thought she was too young, but on the
Wednesday following she went with the
plaintiff to the house of the Hev. Dr. Has
kins, of St. Mark’s P. E. church. The
plaintiff said he would oall the next evening
and get married, so next dav they went and
were married. She didn’t regard the mar
riage as binding because she was a Catholic
and he uever supported her. Once he sent
her $5 to get the marriage certificate.
When he began the present suit, she had
him arrested for abandonment. Decision
was reserved.
M 133 WILSON’3 DELUSION.
The Court Holds Her Case Under Ad
visement Until Monday.
Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—Miss Mary M.
Wilson, who applied for a writ of habeas
corpus to secure her release from the Insane
department of the Pennsylvania hospital
several days ago, was yesterday before
Judge Hare. The Judge heard the testi
mony, and said he would hold a decision
under advisement until Monday.
Dr. John B. Chapin, physician In chief,
and superintendent of the hospital, testified
that while Miss Wilson was an intelligent
and educated lady, she was subject to “sub
acute mania, which showed itself in sexual
delusions, suspicions tnat there were con
spiracies against her chuitity, and in a pro
pensity to wander about the” country.” On
cross-examination Dr. Chapin said that
while she was not dangerous to her.-. If or to
the public, in the se. se of being liable to
violent outbreaks, she would be susceptible
to influences which would lead her to
squander her slender income.
D. Webster Dougherty, counsel for Miss
Wilson, raised the point that so long as she
was not violent, nor liable to become dan
gerous to herself or others, no court had
the right to practically sentence her to im
prisonment for life without the judgment
of a jury, tho evidence showing that she
had been confined for nine month? and her
property used by others without her con
sent, no attempt baviug been made to ju
dicially declare her a lunatic.
Judge Hare announced that he would
hold the case open to allow' Mr. Cnase,
counsel for Miss Wilson’s sister, who had
placed her In the hospital, an opportunity to
produoe any authorities whioh would coun
tenance the confinement of a person un
daubtedly insane on one subject, but who
was in no wise liable to inflict personal
injury pon herself or upon others.
BECAME A CATHOLIC.
Louise Montague Joins the Churoh
After Earnest Consideration.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 23. The
Examiner publishes a long article in refer
ence to Louise Montague’s joining the
Catholic church, and the oause which led
up to it. Miss Montague is well known
from one end of the country to the other as
a dashing opera burlesque artist with a nine
voice and magnificent shape, and in 1878
became famous as Adam Forepaugh’s $,0,-
000 beauty. In Forepaugh’s show she was
exhib ted as tiie most beautiful woman in the
country. At present she is a member of the
Crystal Slipper Company, which has jus t
left San Francisco, and in which she took a
male part, that of Prince Prettiwitz.
Her admiration for the service of the
Catholic church began in Pans in 1888,
when she attended the celebrated Church of
the Madeleine with a San Francisco artist
named Marceau. Later Louise had a long
talk with a Parisian priest, and, although
not joining the church at tnat time, accepted
a rosary. She has t ecome firmer in her
faith with each succeeding month, and last
week went througn a rigid examination as
to the state of her feelings. Previous to
this she was given the creed, catechism and
articles of faith to study, pass'd au ex
amination that greatly pleased the lathe s,
and last Saturday Archbishop Riordan oon
sented to administer the holy rites of bap
tism and confirmation to the famous young
woman.
This will greatly surprise the vast majority
of theatrical people and theater-goers of
this country.
BEAT THE WAS i ban union
In a Suit for Damages for a Mistake
in a Telegram.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oot. 26—Daniel S.
Tobin of McKeesport yesterday received a
verdict f r 872 15 in a suit against the
Western Union Telegraph Compauy. The
suit was for damages for inconveniences to
Tobin, caused by a mistake in a telegram
received by him. Tobin’s sister, while in
New York, was accidentally drowned. The
body was recovered, and the coroner of
StateD Island telegraphed to Tobin.
The message, by au error, read South
Carolina, instead of Staten Island, when it
reached Tobin, and he, not? knowing the
circumstances of his sl>ter’s death, s arted
for outh Carolina. He met with consid
erable trouble before he learned where the
body was, and brought suit for damages.
YET BO MANY ESCAPE.
An Estimable Lady Punished For the
Alleged Theft of an Umbrella.
Providence, R. L, Oot. 25.—Mrs. Europa
Pierce was fined $5 in the police court this
morning for stealing a cheap umbrella from
a ninety-nine cent store in the arcade.
Mrs. Pierce is an acive Christian in a
local church and assistant paymaster in the
Phoenix mill, having borne for years an un
impeachable character. She claims that
the umbrella came into her possession by mis*
take. She charges that she was obliged to
spend the night in a filthy cell with dr.inks
and criminals, and that the lieutenant re
fused to telephone her husband, in order
that she might obtain bail. Her case was
appealed to a higher court.

I rota the St. Louis Republic.
We are told that the planet Mars some
times approac es us within less than 40,000,-
000 miles. Yet, although this distance is
enormous, modern telescopes have enabled
astronomers to span that mighty gulf and to
read the secrets of this distant world. In
an article written by the French author,
Flammarion, he observes that with the aid
of a powerful telescope a heavy fall of
snow was perceived on the planet Mars,
which in twenty-four hours covered an ex
tent of surface as vast as the area of the
United States. He also refers to a sug
gestion made about brilliant points sup
posed to have beeu geometrically arranged
by the inhabitants of Mars and intended ss
signals from that planet to ours. Flam
marlcn looks for unexpected discoveries
whea telescopes of still greater power are
constructed, and to attain at iast to a solu
tion of tho enigma whether Mars is fitted
to be an abode of Ufa or not.
The seasons of summer and winter in the
northern and southern halves of the planet,
the effects due to the progress of the Martial
day, from sunrise to sunset —nay, even
hourly changes, corresponding to those
which take place in our skies, as clouds
gather over our continents, or fall in rain,
or are dissipated by solar heat—such signs
as these prove that Mars is a world like our
own.
THAT RUDDY GLOW.
We all know that Mars glows with a
ruddy light and is by far the ruddiest star
in the heavens, and to scientists the planet
is regarded as passing through a geological
era resembling the old red sandstone period.
Yet when observed through a telescope the
surface of Mars does not appear wholly red.
Dark spaces are seen of a well-marked tinge
of greenish blue, wbi'e at the two opposite
points of his orb there are two bright
spots of white light, presenting such an
appearance as tho snowy poles of our own
earth might present to an observer on the
planet of Venus. Toward the edge of thise
whits points, the ruddy and greenish
tracts are merged into a misty whiteness,
w,licit grows gradually brighter up to the
very border of the planet.
An English student of astronomy, named
Dawes, who had occasion to refer to Mar
tian regions then unnamed, had, for con
venience, assigned names toj these regions
after charting them, using* the names of
those astronomers wliose observations had
thr own light upon the geography of this
planet, or rattier its areography. Tiius to
Sir W. Herschel one continent was assigned,
to 8e chi another, to Madier a third, and to
Dawes (the eagle-eyed observer to whom
we owe the most exict observation of Mars
yet made), a fourth. Tracts of land wore
assigned to Cassini. Dockyer and other as
tronomers, whilst seas ami straits, oceans
and rivers, were named after Delarue, Hug
gins, Dawes, Laplace and other well-known
atr nomers. Tnis was done simply with
ths idea of giving convenient names to feat
ures which are often referred to.
A Belgian astronomer, Dr. Terby of Lou
vain, prepared an im nense number of
pictures of Mors and adopted these names
just referred to, adding one or two other
i suits, but making no changes. This pro
voked the patience of a celebrated French
writer, because neither continent nor ocean
had been assigned to any of the French
writers, though large tracts of lands and
sea 9 were given to Laplace, Leverrier,
Arago and other distinguished Frenchmen.
He proceeded to reconstruct the chart and
rename most of the lauds, dismissing Hers
chel altogether, and giving the name of
Dawes to a small sea. A dark sea, shaped
somewhat like an hour-glass, which had
been assigned to Kaiser, a Herman astrono
mer, who had made many interesting ob
servations on the planet, was treated still
worse. His name was placed in a small
corner of the sea and the sea itself was left
nameless.
At this Dr. Terby rose indignant. Full
of astronomic ire aud areograpbic grief, he
solemuly denounced the new nnmencia'ure.
He truly had reason to bo annoyed, because
the result of his labors had ”been freely
used, and, as the only form of acknowledg
ment, the Freuch savant mentioned the
name of Dr. Terby nine times in his ao
count of the lands and seas of Mars. It is
to be hoped the discussion was amicably
settled, aud that it caused no disturbance
among the peaceful inhabitant* of Moral
A POPULATION THEORY.
A theory exist* that this planet is another
world, and is at present inhabited, and that,
too, by creatures which, though they differ
very much from the inhabitants of this
earth in shape aud appearance, may be as
high in the scale of living creatures. A be
lief likewise exists that among the inhabit
ants of Mars there are creatures endowed
with reason. Others consider Mars alto
gether unfit to bo the abode of creatures re
sembling those which inhabit our earth;
neither vegetable nor a imal forms known
to us could exist on the planet. In fine,“all
tho conditions of life in Mars, all that tends
to the comfort and well-being of Martian
creatures, must differ utterly from what is
human on earth.”
We cannot tell what the nature of the
soil of Mars may be, but it’s generally ruddy
tin. e—so well marked that, though the tele
scope shows an almost equal part of the sur
face to be greenish in hue, the red prevails,
giving to the planet, as seen by the unaided
eye, its obvious rich color —seems to show
that it resembles the led sandstone of our
own earth. Tnis would made it appear as if
Mars hud passed through only the earlier
stages of development, and that the later for
ma i >ns of our earth’s su; face are wanting
on its surface. We may believe that the
ruddiness of the soil of Mars is due to tho
same general cause as the ruddiness of our
red sandstone, whilst some writers think
that it is due to the color of the vegetation
there. A certain support is given to the idea
by the circumstance that the degree of rud
diness is variable, and is somewhat greater
during the Martian summer than in spring
aud autumn. In this sense we may say of
the summer of Mars with the poet Holmes:
The snows that glittered on the disc of Mars
Hare melted, and tiie planet's fiery orb
Rolls in the crimson summer of its year.
But the ruddiness of the planet’s summer
can be otherwise and better explained by
supposing that the Martian forests glow
with fiery foliage during the summer days.
We can see as the sum er proceeds the
white mists which had hidden the lands
and seas of the planet breaking up, and the
features of tbo surface being gradually re
vealed with more and more distinctness. It
is to the Aisappearauce of thee mist* aud
clouds, not to the red leaves of tbeee Mar
tian trees, that the change in the planet’s
color must most probably be referred.
A BRSEZT WORLD.
Other writers consider that there are no
traces of forests on Mars, wi lch may be due
to the fact that lofty trees would exist
under somewhat unfavorable conditions on
Mars, owing to the gravity of 1 bis planet
being so much less than our own earth. On
the other hand, the winds which blow in
Mars are exceedingly violent, and they
weed out the loftier growing trees, which
whioh would stand less chance In encoun
ters with such fierce hurricanes than our
own. As to tbe vegetation of Mars, it has
been suggested that it is red instead of
verdant- that in this distant and miniature
world tbe poet may sing of spring, more
truly than our terrestial poets that:
She cometh blushing like a maid.
There must needs oe rivers in Man, since
the clouds, which often oover whole conti
nents, must p- ur down enormous quanttties
of rain, and this rainfall must find for itself
a course along tbe valleys to the sea. Un
doubtedly wide oceans and seas, with many
straits, t.ays and inland seas, exist on Mars.
Bnow and ice gatbsr la the winter time
ab ut his polar region, but never entirely
dlsa (.aring. Indeed, we can have n
doubt ti at M rs ha- bee.i the scene of
volcanic disturbances like tho-e to which
our own mom tains, hills, valleys and ravinea
owe their oru in. The existence of conti
nents ai.d oc-ans imply an unevenness of
surface which can only be explained as the
suhterran-an force* Therefore volcsnoe>

ence. Possibly tnese snb erranean forces
may be more intense than in our own earth.
the maierials of which the planet ie formed
being not only somewhat less massive in
themselves, but also held down by a gravity
much less effective.
Thus we are not left doubtful as to the
general resemblance of Mars, so far as the
struciuie of his surface is concerned, to tho
surface on which we live. The planet has
a large surface of earth, probablv formed
in large part by depoaitio s at the 'bort m of
former seas, and subsequently raised above
the sua level by subterranean forces, or
rather cau ed to appear above the surface
by tbo effects of the gradual shrinkage of
the planet’s crust. The shapes, too, of the
outlines of the lands and teas indicate the
existence of mountain ranges, and these, too,
of considerable elevation. Then we know
there is water on the planeton account of the
condition of the atmosphere, out of which
the varor of water arises. The greenish
hue of the water implies the presenoe of the
same suhstanc-s which are in the oceans,
and give to them thetr green, greeu-biuo
and blue tints.
A MARTIAN DAY.
It is important to note these points of gen
eral resemblance and to infer that the
planet's present condition Is like that of our
own earth. We might see iu imagiaation
the waves of thusedistani seas beating upon
the long shore line, and ee the mists of
morning gradually clearing as the sun rises
We can imagine tho slow progress of the
Martian day, the wind- raised by the mid
day heat, zephyrs murmuring among the
distant hills, or blasts roaring lonely over
d.-solate, rock-bound seas; the gathering of
the clouds toward eventide, though prob
a-ily to pass from the skies at nigh, (because
condensed by the cold), ieaiiug the same
constellations wo see to shine with greater
splendor through a rarer atmosphere.
We can safely imagine all this, becauso
we know from what the telescope has re
voaled that such may be the changes of the
Martian day. We see in the telescope the
long white shore lines, the clearing mists of
moi nlng, the gathering misn of night—and
wo know that there must be air currents in
an atmosphere undergoing such clia ges.
There must bo rain and snow and hail, and
electrical disturbances—thunder and light
mug c.t times—besides tornadoes— hurri
canes blowing probably more fiercely than
on our earth, though the destructive effects
must be loss on account of the tenuity of the
Martian air.
The two white spots which are to lie seen
on Mars indicate the pres noe of ice fields
around ths Martial poles, and are:
The snowy poles of moonless Mars.
Mars also has winds, as our earth has,
which cleanse and purify the air, aud waft
the clouds from place to place, rendering
the atmosphere fit for all those purposes for
which, like our own earth, it has doubtless
been created.
Thus we recognise in Mars all that makes
our own world so wdll fitted to our wants—
land and water, mountains and valleys,
clouds and sunsnine, rain, ice, snos, river~,
ocean currents and wind currents, and can
we do so further without believing in the
existence of those forms of life without
which all these things would be wasted?
Surely this charming planet must be the
abode of life, and not a barren waste
wholly untenanted by living creatures, or
inhabited by beings belongmgto tho lowest
orders of animated existence.
This plauet may have been created to be
the abode of nobler races than those which
exist upon our earth, for it exhibits in the
clearest manner the traces of adaptation to
the wairs of living beings such as we are
acquainted with. Processes are at work out
yonder in space which may appear utterly
useless to us. Winds may appear to spend
their forces in vaio, clouds may be waft ’d
across continents, aud the sun may shed Its
rays over vast tracts of arid land, and in a
thousand wavs nature’s busy forces mav be
at work, but is it all wasted 1 If, indeed,
this distant world were uupeoplod then wo
would be compelled to say that nature's
forces were wholly wasted?
The progress of art may lead to the dis
covery of hidden wonders, and it mav be
possible for us to arrive at last to a solution
of the great enigma as to whether the
planet Mars is inhabited or not.

HE KILLED SEVENTY MEN.
Death of One of the Wild West's Most
Desperate Criminal*.
Muskeg**, I. TANARUS., Oct. 25.—“01d Tom
Starr,” one of the most remarkable despera
does in this country, is dead. He was a
Cherokee Indian, 6 feet 4 inches in bight,
straight as an arrow, and at the time of his
death nearly 80 years of age.
This remarkable man came west with his
father when tbe Cherokeea were removed to
this part of the country. A bitter feud
arose over the sale of the house of the red
man east of the Mississippi between two
factions, known as the Ridge and Ross
parties. “Old Tom’s” father belonged to
the Ridges. He was shot down in his own
door by a party of tho enemy. Tom killed
three of the party on the spot and then he
began a war on the enemy in which seventy
people, as estimated by the Cherokee coun
cil, were slain by him. About fifteen yeai s
ago the Cherokee council entered into a
treaty with Tom, slrca which compromise
he has lived a quiet a id exemplary life.
During the days of his warfare against
liis Indian too there were many deeds of
desperate daring placed to his credit. By
him a tax collector in Crawford county,
Arkansas, was overtaken in the mountains,
murdered and robbed of $1(1,000. Watt Gray
son. a Cherokee, was robbed of $32,000, aud
asuloequent suit against the government to
recover tbe money developed “Old Tom” as
the brains of tho gang who did the neat job
in a most romantic way, aided by the cun
ning of Bill Reed. After the rorbery Reed
went to Texas, where he met a tragic death,
and Belle and Tom quarreled over the
Grayson booty. Belle married Sam, Tom’s
pet son, to spite "Old Tom” and his wife.
Three years ago Sam Starr and Bill West,
cousins, killed eac i other in a duel over
family matters, and a little later Belle Starr
was shot while on horseback, near her home
in “Younger’s Bend,” nresumably by friends
of her husband, who beliaved she conspired
with W est to kill Sam. Old Tom would
talk freely of his deeds in revenge of bis
faibei’s doath, but he rarely spoke of his
other exploits.
HUGE CATTLE SCHEME.
How a Western Stockman Proposes
to Checkmate the Rig Four.
Chicago, Oct. 26.—William T. Hunter, a
western stockman, has come to Cb.eago for
the purpose of forming an association for
benefiting cattlemen.
The real otijaet seems to be to run against
the "Big Four” and the smaller packers fol
lowing in their wane. The plan is to estab
lish stockyards at convenient western points
and hold shipments back until the “Big
Four” and the others are ready to go to the
association for terms.
Magnificent Meteor.
Claremont, N. H., Oct. 28.—Soon after
7 o’clock this evening neopie here were
startied by hearing a distant report like
heavy artillery, accompanied by apparent
llghtuijg, and many believed it an earth
quake. Reports from Bradford and Hills
boro’Bridge say that at 7:16 e’clooh p. m.
the people there were alarmed by a sound
resembling that of a large gin at a dis
tance, which proved to be caused by a
meteor as viewed by witness ns, who saw a
Hash several seconds before t ey heard the
report. It appeared In tbe northwest at
Hillsboro’ Bridge, while at Bradford it
seemed asN<ut two miles distant and looked
like a rocket, baviug a trail, then burst
with a report like a cannon.
