THE AMERICUS DAIL Y TIMES-RECORDERj WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1891. A GHOSrLY VISITOR ENCAMPED NEAR THE OLD MITCHELL MILL. And to.in. tab* Fond ol Inline Around In lb. “Wn 8mn' Hour."—A Dncrlp- lion of Hor Spook-.hlp u Related llj an Eye (f) Itltnen. There I* areal halr-ralnlng excitement now for the morbidly, superstition, to revel In and Investigate, and he ham' far to go to make the Investigation either, only as far ns the old Mitchell mill just beyond the Central railroad, . for there it would seem is the trysting ground of a spiritual maiden who waits nightly and In vain the coming of recalcitrant lover. The atory told TlRKS-RacoiinF.il reporter runs thualy A young man from Brooklyn Heights was detained In the city until a late hour Sunday night and upon starting for homo he was accompanied for a short distance by a companion. When they reached the bridge over the run at the old mill they paused to indulge in a last conversation before the one returned to Us home In the city and other pursued his way to his abiding place on the Heights. The night was still and calm, above, tbejheavens twinkled with a myriad of gems, while below the little stream trlokled on its silver-toned way to the sea. All* nature was hushed and still, save for the faint, monotonous baying of a dog in some far distant yard. It during the Interval between the de parture of the night trains on the rail road and the yard engines stood desert ed upon the tracks, the soft hissing of the dying steam only making more In tense the utter loneliness of the scene. There was a pause In the conversation of the two friends; they were about to part for the night and the eyes of both were directed up the dry bed of the pond. The barking of the dog grew fainter and fainter on the midnight air, and the sound of escaping steam from the cooling engine on the track subsided to a whispering murmur, and the very stream under their feet grew strangely silent lnjits course over the pebbly bot tom. ’Twas then that far up the stream a faint, wlerd light appeared and moving dlreotly toward the bridge on which they stood, the luminous, moving mass took on human shape—the form of a woman with flowing robes and unbound hair, and floating down with the course of the stream approaehed nearer and nearer the spellbound watchers. The form was not of earth and only spiritual could be that gliding, floating move ment. And just then there earns to each of the earthly spectators a sense of deep, abiding sorrow, a vague, intangible grief - which permeated the Inmost fibres of their being; yet strange to relate, there was at the time an utter absence of any fear on their parts, only that feeling of intense and absorbing sympathy for the grieving spirit, for there was grief profound, pitiable and despairing In her very presence. 8he came, In hor/ mournful, pathetic way almost to the bridge on which they stood, and pausing there, as If in utter destitution at not finding wbat she sought, the ghostly form turn ed and with bowed bead and heart broken mein drifted away slower and more indistinct, until there was only the luminous vapor first seen, and then darkness. From afar came the faint, monotonous baying of the dog, the dying steam from the boiler of. the yard engine hissed softly, and the little stream gurgled In silver-toned ripples. The stars glittered brightly In the mid' night sky and all nature was at rest. With a long-drawn breath the two friends faced each other: “You saw T “I did.” “pood night.” OAHBRIHtia HALLE. Messrs.
