A serious Arrangement.

The unbounded strength of love which
made heroes OF lovers i. the days of TO-
nance and ages how gone past, has not yet
been destroyed by the entertainments of
modern civilization, art, science and COM
mon sense. No longer than last Sunday,at
AdairviIle, Logan county, Kentucky, two
young men named Fayette Fraughber and
Walter Gradey had an alteration about

Strange Freaks of Canned Tomatoes.
A few nights ago one of our hotel scribes,
who is ever cautious against the attack OF
burglars, was aroused from his rosy-gar-
landed dreams by tremendous explosion.
Jumping out of bed the clerk, who by rea-
son of his slender shape is quite active,
heard another gun go of, and thought mid
night assassins were doing their blood Y
work Of death. A few shouts of murder!
thieves! brought assistance, and it was
found that about dozen cans of tomatoes,
stored in an adjoining room, were exploding
because of fermentation. The cans were
literally torn to pieces, and the noise was
loud as the report of shotgun.

THE SOMETHING WHITE.
The South Nashville Ghost ON the
Rampage.
Four Hundred Persons Assembled 20
See the Thing.

At an early hour last night large num-
Der of persons, both white and colored, col
lected on South Summer street over the ra-
vine to see the ghost which is said to ap-
pear among the weeds. A white "some-
thing" was several times seen and though
pursued by party of boys was not over
taken. Two policemen hid among the
jimpson weeds to await developments but
failed to nab the 'swhite something" The
colored people are very much agitated
about this ghost which it is said is that of a
colored woman who was acciden-
tally burned to death last Fall. The
colored woman living in the house
in the bottom between Cherry and Sum-
mer streets, where the deceased person
once dwelt, says she has been visited fire.
quently at night by two beadless persons
who waltz around the room and upset
things generally. Yesterday morning about
one O'Clock, two colored women, while pass
ing by the haunted spot, were so badly
frightened at beholding the ghost that they
ran half mile, and one of them is not ex-
pected to recover. By nine o'clock last
night the pavement of the bridgeway was
blocked for hundred yards by between
three and four hundred persons, many of
whom saw "the something white"
1t is believed the alleged ghost is the in
vention fun loving boys who use a white
sheet on pole and are cautious to keep at
a respectable distance from the astonished
persons who nightly collect to find out what
it is. There are many reports as TO its true
character and some excitement has already
been created among the superstilious with
enough material left for more. One young
man is sIid to have met the ghost
face to face and held an
interview which is strange enough, despite
the young mans honest conviction as to its
truth. The next morning he awohe with a
fearful headache, the best and a prinla

often witnessed but seldom explained This |
evening another large crowd will assemble !
to see the ghost, which makes its first APP |
pearance at 8 o'clock, and continues at in |
tervals Of five and ten minutes during the |
