Premium for State llxhifcit—
Yesterday’s Knees.
AUGUSTA, Nov. 29.—[Special.]—AU of
Georgia represented in Augusta to wel
come all of South Carolina on Carolina day.
Fully 40,000 people were present in Exposi-
tion Park and 7,000 listened to H. W.
Grady's big speech, while near six times as
rimy failed to get into Music Hall, and
tilled the immense building and scattered
through the park.
The legislatures of Georgia and South
Carolina were present in a body, and among
die distinguished men here were Senators
Colquittsnd Brown, Gov. John Peter Rich-
irdson of Carolina, Hen. Robert L. Berner
ol Monroe, Henry W. Grady, F. H. Richard
son, Speaker Clay, and the officials and
itiffis oi the executive departments of both
states.
The programme of the day was passed in
Sue style and was much enjoyed. People
who sat up all night to get here on the
regular and special trainB forgot all dis
comforts in wonder and praise of the Au
gusta Exposition. The Carolinians were
particularly entbnsiastic, ami the superb
state exhibits were universally admired.
A special premium was publicly pre
sented by Congressman Barnes today, in
behalf of the exposition, to South Carolina
for the finest state exhibit ever made, null it
was received by Hon. Knox Livingston.
This Carolina exhibit puts Georgia to shame,
for it demonstrates both progress and the
patriotism of a sister state.
MB. GRADY’S SPEECH.
The special event of the day was II. W.
Grady’s speech. It is pronounced equal to
his New York and Texas speeches, if not
better, and it breathed a love for the union
which does Dot forbid work and devotion to
the South. His tribute to the union was, in
fact, superb, and all sectiona can unite in
applauding a speech so national in its scope,
tnd it will be beneficent in its good results.
He scathed Gen. W. T. Sherman ami the
Chicago Tribune for recent utterances calcu
lated to arouse had feeling between the
races and, possibly, lead to blood
shed. and said the temper of the
North would not sustnin them. He
discussed the negro question nt length, and
slid it was the supreme issue of the hour,
bat it was a question for the South to settle
unaided by the North or any other section.
His declaration of the superiority of the
white race, and h'jsThanksgivingday perora
tion were received wish tremendous ap-
' Gov. Richardson and State Senator
f-u.ytbc ol Charlesl.ui, spoke eloquently
for South Carolina, and after the speaking
the legislators and people inspected and ad
mired the exhibits and enjoyed the concerts

TUB SPEECH.
Augusta, Nov. 29.—H. W. Grady, Geor
gia’s eloquent and brilliant youpg orator,
made the address of welcome to the Caro
linians at the Augusta Nutionai Exposition
today oa behalf of Georgia, fully sustaining
hit reputation as a speaker and growing
statesman.
Mr. Grady began ns follows:
“This day is auspicious, as Bet both by the
G overnor and President for a universal
bank-giving, and our grateful h-itrts
confirm the consecration. Though
we have not been permitted to
parade our democratic roosters in
jubilant print, we may now lead them from
their innocuous desuetude, and, making
them the basis of this day’s feast, gather
about them a company that, in cordial grace,
shall he excelled by none, not even by that
which invests the republican turkey, whose
•training thighs shall he stripped today in
Indianapolis, and, attacking them with an
appetite that comes from abounding health,
consign them to thut digestion that waits on
» conic encc void of offense.
“We give thanks today that the Lord God
Almighty, having led us from desolation into
Pleaty, from poverty Into substance, from
passion into reason, and from estrangement
into love—having brought harvests from
ashes, and raised us homes from our ruins,
and touched our sacred lands all over with
beauty and with peace, permits us to
assemble here today and to
rejoice amid the garnered heaps
ol oar treasures. Our visitors give thanks
becoming to a city that, from deep disaster,
•>»« risen with energy and courage un
equalled, and witnessing an exposition that,
>n the sweep of its mighty arms nnd the
splendor of its gathered riches, surpasses
*11 w e have ever attempted. They trad all
sense of rivalry blotted out in a wondering
admiration and Jrom hearts that know not
envy or criticism, bid you “God-speed to
even higher achievements, and to the full
* si harvesting of prosperity, to gain
which you have bnllded so bravely and so
wisely”
fa referring to the Solid South and the
accessity forii among the whites, hgsaid:
wnat, then, is the duty of the South?
Simply this, to maintain political as well as
*°*&* integrity of her white race, and to ap-
peal to tba world for patience and justice.
“*. ns show that it is not a sectional

that keeps ns compact; that it iB not a hope
of dominion or power, but an abiding neces
sity; not patronage, but plain self-preserva
tion that holds the white race together in
tue South. Let us make this so plain tlmt
any community anywhere, searching
its own ’heart, wculd say:
‘The necessity that binds our broth
ers in the Sonth would bind
u» as closely were the necessity here.’ Let
us invite immigrants and meet them with
such cordial wejcom that they will abide
with us in brotherhood, and so enlarge the
body of intelligence ami integrity that it
may carry the burden of ignorance with
out danger. Let ns be loyal to the
union, and not only loyal’ but log-
ing. Let the . republic know that
in peace it bath nowhere better citizens,
nor in war braver soldiers thau in these
states. Though set apart by this problem,
which God permits to rest upon us, and
which, therefore, is right, Jet us garner our
slit'llv*"- gladly into the harvest of tin- I'ni.ui
and find joy in onr work, because it
makes broader tho glory and deeper
the majesty of this republic, that is
cemented with our blood. Let us love the
fiag that waved over Marion and Jasper,
that waves over ns, and which, when we are
gathered to our fathers, shall be a guarantee
of liberty and prosperity to our children
and our children’s children, and know that
what we do in honor shall deepen and what
we do in dishonor shall dim the luster of its
fixed and glittering stars.”

The Hoard ot Health Urges Them Not to
Return Until the Danger Is Over.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 29.—The of
ficial bulletin for the twenty-four hours
ending at 6 p. m. today is as follows: New
cases, seven, of which five are whites and
two blacks. There were no deaths. Total
cases to date, 4,687: total deaths, 408. The
board of health still persists in denying
eutrance to refugees. Its committee today
issued a long manifesto, of which the follow
ing is a portion:
“We have every confidence that the work
of disinfecting will be poshed lorward to
an early completion and we ask the heartily
co-operation of all good citizens in the ac
complishment of the desired object. We
are nil weanr of this struggle with the pesti
lence which has swept over us aDd Is now
lingeringly leaving us. Lean of purse and
sore of heart, we are all’ donbtless most
anxious to put things behind us and com
mence anew, but let ns not, in our impor
tance to attain this, neglect to exercise pro-
lii'tii'c ami ili-'Ti'tiiiu ami thereby mi- ritii t-
more lives. We do not ask those interested
to wait until the fever work is
completed, but at least we
feci that it is of the utmost importance to
put the business centers of the city in such
condition as wUl permit future prosecution
and completion of the work without seri
ously militating against success by the pre
mature in-coming of onr outside friends or
subjecting them to danger which may result
fatally, and tor which we should and will be
held responsible as guardians of the public
health, ff we can, By a thorough process of
disinfection,preserve one single life, such as
many which have been offered up on the
altar of duty from among our fellow-citi
zens here, we shall have weU expended
time, money and the sacrifice of
personal interest and convenience which
may be involved. Beside the assurance
thus given to the outside world of such
thorough and complete purification, wiH, we
feel confident, enable Jacksonville to enter
upon her active duties with such vantage
ground that the work we have undertaken
will, erelong, repay ns well in dollars and
cents, and prove a good investment pecuni
ar I. v.
It is impossible to state, as yet. just when
we can say ‘come’ to the many who are anx
iously waiting to come in, but we ask no
long delay, and promise to work with hand
and heart, night nnd day, to its early
accomplishment, and we can give the assur
ance that there will be imposed ujion our
absent triends ami neighbors bnt a lew days
of delay in addition to that which ordinary
prudence will require.”
This Is signed by Neal Mitchell, president
of the board of health; ft. P. Daniel and J.
C. L’Kngle, committee.

A Sample of Hrlttsti Brutality in Ireland—
Hie Purchase Hill Passed.
London, Nov. 29.—In the House of Com-
m'.ns this evening Mr. ilradlaugh moved to
adjourn the House in order to caU attention
to the continued imprisonment of Moroney
in Kilmainham jail for contempt of court
under the cnercioo act- He said that Moro
ney was suflering in health and becoming
insane. He represented that bankruptcy
proceedings bad been used with a view to
compel Moronev to divulge certain things
which Moroney refused to divulge.- Mr.
liradlaugh maintained that the refusal, al
though illegal, was morally justified and that
Moroney ought not to be punished by indefi
nite imprisonment.
Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland,
and Sir Richard Webster, attorney-general,
contended that the government had no
power to order the release of Moroney. It
was his own fault if he failed to purge him
self ot his contempt. After long debate, the
motion was rejected by a vote of 195 to 169.
Desultory discussion on the Ashbourne
act then followed, and, finally, *h« hill
passed third reading by a vote of 2tIn 141.
During the evening a report reached
the House of Commons that
Lord Compton, the Giadstonian candi
date in the nolborn district of
London, had been elected. When the news
was received, the Giadstonian members
stood on the benches and cheered them- I
selves hoarse. A subsequent report showed '
that Bruce, the conservative candidate, was
successfal, and a similar scene was enacted
by the conservative members. So prolonged
was the cheering, that the speaker with diffi
culty restored order.
A Pntrlot Unprovided For.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The fifty-first congress cannot do betrer
than to make Private Daizeil a brigadier-
general and give him a free pass to the
treasury vault. It would be much better
than paving out the surplus in premiums
to bondholders. Mr. Daizeil can t>oint to
several Confederate cemeteries which lie
constructed with uis hut, ssm-t
how, the Republican party, though in
power so many years after the war,entirely
forgot to reward the honest hero. About
the only recognition given this brave sol
dier has been that of the Cincinnati pa
pers, which have permitted him, in com
mon with all other Ohio writers, to rage
anout the “rebel” Sonth. Private Daizeil
should have all the money and all the sta
tionery he can use for the rest of his life.
A Hunting tliame.
From the LaGrange Beporter.
Yes, it is a burning shame antk a deep
disgrace that Georgia can afford to give
her hundreds of thousands of children
only three months’ schooling. Unices the
state moves up in the matter oi ednation,
she will have to surrender her Title of
“Empire .State of the South,’’ and step
down and out the back way. We hope
this legislature is more progressive than
its predecessors, and that something will
be done to remove the dreadful curse of
illiteracy from onr people. Give us six |
months’ schools, at feast.
Savannah, Nov. 29.—[3pccial.]-Three
thousand negroes in a mob in Yamacraw, a
negro quarter of the city, at noon today,
were as thirsty for the blood of white men as
the most savage tribe in Central Africa.
Ten or a dozen drunken negroes and ne-
gresses were making Rome howl at a corner
grocery and when Policeman McMurra.v at
tempted todisperse them they snatched iiis
club nnd attacked him.
SHOT FIVE TIMES.
The officer shot the buck wielding the
club, and, as the latter tan, pursued him and
fired four more balls into him.
The black mob that had collected then
attacked the officer, and knocked him down
repeatedly. He finally ran into a house and
barred the doors. The mob battereil these
down, tore off the blinds, broke in the win
dows, swarmed into the interior, beat the
officer into insensibility and then carried his
body onto the porch and hurled it into the
street, where the rest of the infuriated blacks
jnmped on and stoned it. finally leaving it
for dead.
IKFCBIATBD WOMEN.
The women played the leading part, both
in doing the actual violence, and in urging
on the men.
In the meantime, Officer Cronan, hearing
the shooting, started to the rescue of McMur-
ray. Two blocks from the scene, however,
he fell into the hands of the mob, and suf
fered a fate similar to that of McMurrey.
A laborer named Crommins, who rushed
to Cronan’s rescue, was also quickly re
duced to a state of insensibility.
An alarm brought policemen to the scene,
mounted and in patrol wagons from head
quarters, and the fighting bucke took to
their heels and left the streets deserted.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED.
The negro shot by McMurray is dead, an
other negro is dying from two bullet
wounds, and another wounded negro is in
hiding. Ten or twelve arrests have been
made, [and the police are still scouring
Yamacraw for others implicated.
The two policemen and Crommnis are in
thehospital. Fractured skulls and internal
injuries menace life, and it cannot be stated
yet whether they wUl recover or die.
The feeling among the negroes is very
ugly, and extra police will be on duty to
night, at least.
A WOMAN MURDERED.
At 10 o'clock tonight a negro murdered
his mistress near the scene of the riot. The
negroes there are drunk but overawed by
tlie police. Four of the prisoners are women,
one of whom hurled a large bowlder on
McMurray’s head twice as he lay iasensible
in the road, after most of the mob bad left
tigresses throughout the conflict, equaling
those of the commune in their bloodthirsti
ness.
MURK EDUCATION.
An Appenl for Fubllo Schools—Let Georgia
Do Better,
From the Dooly Vindicator.
To the shame of every trae citizen of the
Empire State of the South, it can be and
is 6aid, and borne out by facts and figures,
that her people are the most, ignorant of
any of the people of the union. It is.a
truth that the great number of people in
this state that cannot write their names
will surprise any one who lias never given
the subject a thought. It is a shame upon
our great namej a blot upon our country’s
honor, something that should bring a
blush upon the cheeks of our people, es
pecially our law-makers. Are we so very
poor, indigent,' unenterprising, stingy,
mean that we cannot educate our children
to where they can have written intercourse
with othera of thoir kind? Our state is
not in such an impoverished condition Imt
that this could be done. We have just
spent thousands of dollars upon a new
state capitol, of which every Georgian is
proud, and yet these very dollars rep resent
men, women and children who do not
have any idea ,,f what the state espit'd is,
nor would they know the very words even,
were they to see them in print. Our peo
ple who have had the educational inter
ests at heart have done the very beat they
could with the mere pittance allowed
them for this purpose, and still the condi
tions are not much improved. The advan
tages of securing an ed&cation are very
meager for a poverty-stricken hoy or girl.
Our legislature is now in session; our stale
is able to give better advantages, and our
lawmakers should see that it is done; audt
if Her do not, our people should remem
ber this, and when their terms expire »sk
them to remain at koine and let some one
represent us who is liberal-minded to that
degree that they will not draw the strings
to the money bags tighter and tighter,
while they cry poverty! poverty! though |
there echoes in their cars the maudlin cry
nf the masses. Ignorance, immorality, [
bloodshed, strife and contentions.
Mixing Iron In the Foundry.
David Spence In American Machinist.
For twelve years I have given special j
attention to mixing iron in the foundry.
For a time I was a great advocate of
Scotch iron as a softener—such brands as
Coltness, Summerlce, Glengarnock, Clyde,
Shots and l.angloan—but of late year- I
have changed my opinion in regard to
this, and have come to the conclusion that
we have iron in our own country that can
be vsed as successfully as any Scotch iron.
Such brands as Mary, Brier Hill, Hub
bard, t South Pittsburg, Sewanee, Alice,
Alice Rockwood, South Eastern, and a
great many other irons, produce a much
cleaner and sounder casting than the
Scotch brands of iron. All the above
brands are'a good iron for lire when soft
ness is required. Now if you want to add
strength to these brands, use »neh brands
of Lake Superior as National anti other
strong brands that are made there, an!
you add strength to yonr other iron.

San Francisco Special to New York Ban.
A party of men were talking in the Pal
ace Hotel court Iasi evening about liars
they had known. Mr. Mors of Pasadena
said be knew the most picturesque pre
varicator on the Pacific elope. “Hisname
is Martin, Wobbly-jaw Martin,” laid Mr.
More, “and works on my ranch. He’d lie
about the size of a half-dollar, and there
never were any black crows where he came
from.”
‘ Where’s that?” asked Senator Fair,
who his a reputation of hisown to sustain.
“Texas, and that’s where Martin had
most of his astounding adventures. He
has told one story oi a seance with a
Texas steer until I think he has forgotten
that it is a lie. He says he was working
in a packing-house at Bryan, and had
charge of the cattle that came to the
killing-house. One day, according to this
weird romancer, a steer fell down about a
hundred yards from the house, and
seemed to be too badly injured to move
another step. Martin grabbed an axe
and went to kill the animal. When he
was JO feet from the steer it jumped up,
made a rush for the boss liarof the bound
less West, ami hooked him. One long
horn went through his clothing, grazed
his back and passed out under his collar
at the back ol his neck. Martin says lie
had on a new suit of oilskins, and that lie
was carried J100 yards on the steer’s head,
shouting for the people to get out of his
way and brandishing the axe.
‘ Die crazy steer bolted in among the
other cattle, stampeded the herd, and bel
lowed in a way that nobody hut this dandy
liar ever heard before. Suddenly the oil
skins gave way, and Martin, the monu
mental, came to the ground, but he swung
his axe as lie fell *nd killed the steer with
one blow. He wasn’t hurt a bit, and when
the boys ran up to him he calmly said:
‘You bet I ain’t no slouch.’ Now, that
man is the best all-round liar I ever knew.
Show a letter and I’ll treaU”
“Hid he mention the name of the man
for whom he worked at Bryan?”asked one
of the party.
“Yes he did. He always gives names,
places and dates as straight as a 6tring.
Let me see. The man’s name was Alex
ander, 1 think.”
“Well, gentlemen,” said Mr. G. W.
Alexander, the one who had asked the
question, “I’m the man for whom Martin
was working, and he tells the affair ex
actly as it happened. I remember it very
well, and if ever a man escaped certain
death in this world, Martin did that clay.”
“I’ll do as I agreed,” said Mr. More.
“Come in, gentlemen, and have some wine
with me.”
Mountain Myth*.
From Ascott K. Hope’s “Tho Romance of the
Mountains.”
Turning back to the heathen and the
savage, we see at once whence comes the
old feeling about mountains, a feeling
bom of dark shadows that disappear in
the light of knowledge. We have all
heard of the Brocken and its witch revels,
made famous by the genius of Goethe.
The Harts mountains are so rich in super-
stitious legends, not that they have more
imposing features of their own than
manother less celebrated moun
tains bat because, slaituiug out by them-
■elv-K’S *r the great northern Hats of
Oerm*toy, they powerfully impressed the
imagination oi the lowlanders around, and
because, this district being one of the last
converted to Christianity, they long con
tinued to he a retreat for pagan rites, and
thus gained their grim reputation as a seat
cf witchcraft. Here, *5 is well known, ap
pears the spectre of Brocken, when, at sun
rise or sunset, the amazed traveler happens
to see a magnificent reflection of his own
figure thrown upon the sheet of mist veil
ing some opposite peak. The most extra
ordinary ot all such appearances seems to
he that observed at Adam’s Peak, in Cey
lon, as described for us through a recent
expedition undertaken by the Hon. Kalph
Ahercromby and two other men of science:
“This mountain rises in an abrupt cone,
I.OUO feet above the chain and 7,552 feet
above the sea level. It lies near an elbow
in the main range, while a gorge runs up
from the northeast just to the we6t of it.
When, then, the northeast monsoon blows
morning mist up the valley, light wreaths
of condensed vapor pass to the west of the
peak and catch the shadows nt sunrise.
The pnrty reached the summit on the
night of Feb. 21, 1880, amid rain, mist
and wind. Early next morning the fore
glow began to brighten the under surface
of the stratus cloud with orange; patches
of white mist filled the hollows, and some
times masses of mist, coming from the val
ley, enveloped them with condensed vapor.
At 0 :50 o’clock a. m. the sun peeped through
a chink in the clouds, and they saw the
pointed shadow of the peak lying on the
misty land. Soon a complete prismatic
circle of about eight degrees diameter,
with the red outside, formed round the
summit of the peak as a center. The
meteorologist, knowing that with this
bow there ought to be spectral figures,
waved his hand about, and immediately
found giant shadowy arms moving in the
center of the rainbow. Two dark rays
shot upwards and outwards on either side
of the center, and appeared to be nearly in
a prolongation of the lines of the slope of
the peak below. Three times witnin a
quarter of an hour this appearance was
repeated as the mist drove up in proper
quantities, and fitful glimpses of the sun
gave sufficient light to throw a shadow
and form a circular rainbow. In
every case the shadow and bow were seen
in front of land, and never against the
sky. When the sun rose pretty high, the
characteristic peculiarity of the snadow
was beautifully observed. Asa thin wreath
of condensed vapor came up the valley at
a proper night, a resplendent bow limned
round the shadow’, while both seemed to
stand up majestically in front of the ob
servers, and then the shadow fell down
upon the land, and the bow vanished as
the mist patted on. About an hour plater
the sun again sh6ne]out,£but much|higher
and stronger than before, and then they
saw a brighter and sharper shadow of the
peak, this time encircled by a double bow;
and their own spectral arms were again
visible. The shadow, the double bow, and
the giant forms combined to make this
phenomenon the most marked in the whole
world.”

CUTS, CORNS,
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 29.-A special to
the Advance from .Wytheville, Va., says a
band of armed men, wearing masks, broke
open the jail here at 2 o’clock this morning
and rescued Wnyman Sutton, under sentence
of death for the murder of Peter Uarvell.
It was discovered last eveniog that a party
was being formed near Rural Retreat for the
purpose of rescuing Sutton, who was to
have been hanged tomorrow, and the sheriff
summoned a posse to guard the jail.
THE DOOB BROKEN IN.
The jui'er’s statement is that a party of
men came there nnd demanded admittance,
which he refused, and they thereupon broke
the doors open with n sledge hammer
and the front hall was immediately filled
with masked men, armed with double-bar
relled guns and pistols. They covered him
with a dozen guns and demanded the keys
to the cells, which he refused to deliver,
whereupon thev searched bis private apart
ment nnd found them in his wife’s sewing
machine.
After securing Sutton they locked up some
of the guards in his cell and left for the west
end of the county.
The party is variously estimated by parties
who saw it at from fifty to 100 in number.
The sledge hammer that was used wns found
in the jail this morning. There is very little
clue as to who the parties were.
SUTTON’S CRIME.
Peter Harvell was murdered in March,
1887, and the evidence, all of which was cir
cumstantial, pointed to Wayman Sutton
nnd bis father-in-law, Morgan Pendleton, ns
the perpetrators of the deed. Harvell's
house had been previously destroyed by nn
incendiary and himself badly wounded by
would-be assassins and was still suffering
from a wound when murdered. Pendleton
and Satton were seen in the neighborhood
of the house previous to the murder, and
the general impression in the neighborhood
was that theyr had been hired to kill him.
Pendleton is said to be in New York nnd a
letter, purporting to have been written by
him, in which he declared that he and not
Satton was the murderer was submitted to
Gov. Lee. Satton was arrested in Indiana
last June nml brought back to Wytheville,
where his trial took place, ne was eovicted
of murder in the first degree nt the March
term of the Wythe county court and the cir
cuit court refused to rehear the case.The mat

court of appeals and the judgment of the
lower tribunal was sustained. In this ex
tremity the friends of the condemed man
appealed to Gov. Lee for clemency and he,
after an exhaustive review of the testimony,
declined to interfere. It doe. not appear
that he placed any confidence in the alleged
letter from Pendleton, but laid down the
broad proposition that the executive bus no

Conflicting Stories About an Alleged
Haunted House in Gotham.
New York, Nov. 27. Hardy a person
among the two hundred thou and. says a
New York dispatch to tho Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegram, more or less that
daily whirl over the lint- () f,
the Third avenue elevated road, pays more
than a flying glance at the four-story
brick structure that stands at No. 581
Third avenue, near Thirty-eighth street.
Dangling over the main entrance is a
modest little sign which bears the wonts
“Rooms to rent. Inquire of J. Bisco*
real estate agent, No. 238 East Twenty-
third street.” The second story windows
are draped inside with neat lace curtain*
showing that at all events tlmt part of the
building is inhabited, hilt the remainder of
the doors evidently are empty.
Oue would think that such property
would rent q.ickly; it ps near aL
hand to Elevated read stations and.
street card, and such would undoubtedly
bo tho case if it were not for a strange
story told by an occupant of former days,
and which caused a thrill of superstitious
fear to run through the minds of many
people who have looked at the building
with ap eye to renting npa-tments in it.
It is said that the house is haunted, and
that when the midnight hour is near the
sheeted dead hold high carnival within the
walls of the lonely upper stories.
When New York was in the very heal
of the late difference of opinion existing
between Mr. Harrison anti Mr. Cleveland,
and the city was a howling wilderness of
brass bands, processions and all the noine
attending the election of a ruler of these
United States of America, Mr. and Mrs.
James Clark and Mrs. Clark’s brother, a
young man of the name of Leonard, moved
Into the third story of this building. Like
the famous screed which runs thus: “The
King of France ‘with forty thousand men
marched up the hill and then marched
down again,” Mr. and Mrs. Clark moved
in, and then they movedout again. To the
surprise of everybody who knew anything
about the matter at all, the operation ol
moving in and moving out occupied just
twenty-four hours.
And this is the reason for this remark
able state of affairs, according to those
who c!aimj 10 know r.!l about it: The
front room, overlooking Third avenue, is
a square, pleasant parlor, with a bedroom
opening toward the eastern end. It was
in this bedroom that all the hilarity or.
the alleged spooks was brought forth
On the niglit before the election young,
Leonard, who, rumor says, was an en
thusiastic adherent of Mr. Harrison, re
tired about 10 o’clock perfectly confident
that on the morrow hiH candidate would
be selected by an enliglited and free-trade
despising public. Just as all the clocks
in the neighborhood with more or less ac
curacy were striking the hour of 12, Mr.
Leonard wns sitting up in bed with every
hair on his head standing up in terror.
He had been awakened hy a feeling as if
a hand had grasped his manly leg anil'
severely pinched it.
“I guess 1 must have been dreaming,”
Mr. Leonard remarked to himself, mat
smoothing down his startled hair he com
posed himself to slumber again. Bnt his
pleasant views of republican victory were
rudely broken in upon a few momenta
later bv the supjs E v st6rio'.»!
This time he was pinched upon the arm.
When he had retired he had left a lamp-
burning in his room, and when he awoke
the second time he noticed that the lamp
iiad gone out. This he did not think at
all strange, because be fancied that the oil
in the lamp was exhausted or that a breeze
from the window had blown it ent. Ho
Mr. Leonard got out of lied lor the purpose
of relighting the lamp. When he did so he
saw that the lamp was full of oil. Clearly it
wasn’t lack of oil that made his lamp go out.
His next step was towards the window.
To his surprise the window was tightly
closed, so that the extinction of the name
was not due to any passing wind. Mr.
Leonard couldn’t understand it at all. To
repeat, lie couldn’t understand it a little
Lit; so, like a wise man, he gave op what
he couldn’t understand and wont to Iteil
again. What transpired after this is a little
bit hazy. It isn't exactly clear as to de
tails, but it is pretty well founled on
fact, that a white, dead hand was seen.to
sweep down upon the lamp and extinguish
it; a pale-blue light danced on the wall;
a white-robed form came from nowhere
nnd did an amazingly clever dance in
the middle of the room, and Mr. I-eon .
ard’a Lody was pinched from head to fo<>'
by cold corpse-like hands.
Mr. and Mrs. Clark weresummoned, amt
all the lamps were lighted. Mr. Leonard’s
room was searched, but of course nothing
was found. No self-respecting spook was
ever known to do his uncanny act when a
light was around. lint Mr. Leonard didn't
sleep any more that night, and in this he
was imitated by Mr. ana Mrs. Clark. Next
morning Mr. Leonard found that his body
waB covered all over with black - and blue
B|K>ts. Despite the fact that Mr. dark
had paid the month’s rent of $12 in ad
vance, the very next day the family moved
out, and all the king’s horses and all the
king’s men couldn't get that family in.
those rooms again.
“Spooks,” said Mr. 1*. Newman, who
lives in the building on the first floor, dc
spite the story of the Clark family to a re
porter yesterday, “oh, that makes me
weary. I guess Leonard had t>een cele
brating over Harrison’s possible election.
Yes, I have heard the Btory, but it is all
nonsense. I have lived in this block
Bevcral years, and there isn't a sponk it it.
I’ll go and sleep in that flat for little
money for the next year, if anybody wants
to test the matter. Anybody that isn’t a
coward anti afraid of a shadow, wouldn t
move out of here.”
Tt was rats,” said Mr. J.(Bisco, the real
urim h*s charms of the
property, at hia home, No. 238 East Twen
ty-third street, “or else a bad attack ot
jim-jams.”
“I am weary ol living, moaned poor Mr*.
Illaek,
“For I’m fairly worn out with the a>-he in

My nerves arc a chain
