A Ghost Near HeaadsvaIe

The Moundsville National of yester
day has the following sensation item
1t isa fact not known 70 many of the
citizens Of Moundsville and surround
ings, that there Is. IN, the Immediate vi
einIty of this place, haunted house
The house is new one, and, until re-
Gently, has not been occupied. The mp
per tiGor of the building has never
been finished. and 10 tins day remains
unoeupied. For considerable time
past the deniZens of this bdIldIng
have been in the habit of hearing
strange, unusual and unnatural noises
issuing from the aforesaid up
per story, and a rumOr had gone abroad
that the place was haunted. Little,
however. has been said abeut the mat
ter. the majority OF those living IN the
building being under the impression
that the strange noises were Oecasloned
by rats scampering about the premises.
The noises, however, have continued,
AMI seemed 20 increase in intensity,
and becoming lon0ter and louder ~ the
midnight hour approaches, anu then
entirely ceased as day begins To break.
One of the inmates, more valOrous
than the Others, determined 20 Iathom
the mystery, and couple Of days ago.
when the sun was shining brightly. he
assembled 10 the upper story. The. stair
was encountered with pieces of timber,
which he removed after considerable
trouble, and on Setriug 70 the top OF the
stair he forced open the door ami enter
ed. His st0nishmens may be we'll inn
agined when by the glimmering light
which penetrated the closed up apart
ment, he saw lying extended on the
floor a. full sized skeletOn. He start
ed hack for an instant, being I'M
prepared for sueh = surprise. but
quickly rallying, he knelt down
and examined the skeleton minutely.
How it came TO be IN the place
where it was found Is mystery AMI
may never bs cleared mp, and whether
murder or suicide had been committed
may never be known. The skeleton,
however. still lies IN the upper story,
and whether the poor, perturoed spirit
of the deceased seeks the giimpses of
the noon 10 left for the believers Of
ghost stories TO determine. It is still
reported That the unusual sounds are 10
be heard each night, but perhaps the
removal of the skeleton and . decent in
torment might put stop 20 the wau-
dererings OF Che ghost.
We can't swallow that without more
bait. Was 'sthe skeleton a hoop-skirt
institution, or a ''dorg" farce Please
particularize; Mr. National.

We have before us private letter. sayf
the Cleveland (ohiot Plaindealer, detailing
events which recently occurred in a South

than fiction" We can give the main par.

the chief actor in the strange incident, oil

MIR. Delos w. is wealthy and influential
man, residing near tho village of p. On
the Thursday preceding the prize fight be.
tween Gallagher and Davis, the old gentle,
man was thrown into high state of excite.
menl at learning that his only son, John
had gone 10 Cleveland with the ayowed
purpose OF attending the fight, and his ex.
citement was intensified at still further dis
covering that John had helped himself ia
his (the iather's) pocket-book, containing
$500. MIR. W. iumed and fretted over the
conduct of his son, and went to bed on
Thursday night with raging headache and
marked symptoms of fever. The interview
with john, on Monday afternoon, inmedi.
ately after the sons return, threw the old
gentlemen into a paroxysm Of rage and
grief, which was rendered doubly severe
by Johns insolence, and his acknowledg.
ment that he had lost $3.50 Of the money on
Gallagher.
hr. W.'s irenzied feelings finally got the
better of him, and he felled his son to the
floor with blow Of his fist, and Immediately
thereafter fell down himself in senseless
condition Great excitement in tile family
cnsued. The mother ran screaming for
assistance, which was soon forthcoming in
tho persons of several of the neishbors.
Mr.. W. was found in an apparently lifeless
eondiiion.wilh blood flowing from his mouth
and nose. A subsequent examination by a
physician led TO the announcement by him
that Nr. w. had died from tbs bursting of A
blood vessel. so evidently had the vital
spark fed that no efforts at resuscitatIon
were made, and the remains were prepared
for burial as promptly as possible.
The funeral of the deceased took place ON
