tons to the grading of that

rary injunction against the further

Mr.. Hanscom heard of it, he made
extra exertions to further the job as
much as possible before the injunc-
ton would be granted.
Yesterday Major Armstrong,
Clerk of the District Court, received
the following dispatch from Judge

A GHOST STORY.

Fitting Around in Prospect

1t was not long since that the re-
port that the house standing at the
northwest corner of Thirteenth
street and Capitol avenue was
haunted, excited considerable curl
osity among the superstitiOus. This
morning, however, We were told
a reliable story that puts the haunted
house way in the shade. The scene
of this strange and true narrative is
Prospect Hill Cemetery, adjoining
which Mr.. H. P. Stanwood, the
well-known sculptor, has a small
dwelling and marble cutting shop,
in which several hands are en-
ployed.
On Tuesday night, shortly after

sleep in the shop, happened to step
out of doors before retiring, and

the dead, a vision-a ghost-a Two.

gaze. The mysterious being was
slowly fitting towards the building,
when he ran in end brought his
brother out to view the strange sight.
Both became scared, and Fastening
out of the back door, just as the
ghost came in the front door and
blew out the light, they ran over to
Mr.. Stanwood's residence to inform
him of what had happened.
MI. stanwood and the men
went out to see what was the mat
ter, and sure enough they saw be
fore them the ghost, who hit Mr..
Stsnwood on the back, and asked
where her children was--ifthey were
buried in that tomb. The ghost
then fitted into the house, blew out
the light, and entering a bedroom,
so scared the occupant that he Jump.

away. One of the two brothers
mentioned above, having pulled GU
his revolver, deliberately took ain
and fired twice II the ghost, bu'
without effect. She then took hel

where she vanished,

The lively town of Seward has
had a sad day for some of her citi-
zens and a sojourner.
Yesterday Messrs. Marshall, earns
and Hathaway Of our city started
by carriage to visit a brother Of the
Fraternities, to convey some needed
substantials in the way of money and
provisions. When half q mile east
of town they started to cross an
inferior bridge on Plum Greek, when
the near horse stepped upon a de-
fective plank, causing it to break,
ana striking the other horse fright
ening him, and there being no
guard, the team jumped from the
bridge some twenty feet to the
stream below, upsetting the ear
riage, with the occupants be-
meath it. Very fortunately no one
was killed ut the time, yet
all received injuries, and especially
Marshal and Hathaway, the latter
being at this time in a critical con-
dition.
A severe bereavement occurred
last evening. A bricklayer from
Lincoln went with some comrades
to the Blue river for q bath, and
not knowing how to swim was
drowned before assistance could
reach him. His body was forwarded
to his family at Lincoln. He leaves

HARD LUCK.
Adventures of an Itlnerant Pen
and Ink Artist.

A young man, named after one of
Americas illustrious presidents, re-
Gently got into trouble at Platts-
mouth. He follows the Occu-
patton of q card and ornamental
sign-writer, being a most skillful
penman. Some Of his work in
Omaha is evidence Of his skill as an
artist. He went to PlattsmOuth and
took several orders for advertising
cards to be nut up in the prominent
business places of the city. To while
away the evening hours OF his stay
in Plattsmouth, he managed to form
the acquaintance of a girl employed
in a doctors house. He won her
affections in a short time, anu one
night the doctor came home unex-
pectedly, and surprised them.
What the disciple Of Eculapius saw
so shocked his modesty, that he at
once led the young man to the front
door, and facilitated his progress
into the street by the application of
boot-leather. Going back into the
house, he ordered the unfortunate
girl to pack up her Saratoga trunk,
and "git." She did so.
Next morning the scandal had
leaked out In some mysterious
manner, and was the town talk.
The itinerant pen-and-ink artist be-
came frightened, and Immediately
came up to Omaha, without filling
his orders for the display cards.
Wednesday evening he was ar
rested in this city by Sheriff Burley,
on a telegram from the Sheriff at
Plattsmouth, who charged him
with obtaining money under false
pretenses. Thursday the Platts.
mouth Sheriff came up and took
him back with him. The young
man sooa explained that
he had left town out o.
fright, and that he had not had
time to deliver the cards, owing tc
his hurried and unexpected depar.
ture, and as it appeared he had OBJ
tanned no money for them, as they
were not to be paid for till delivered
and put up, he was discharged. Tit
afternoon train from Plattsmoutf
brought him back to Omaha. HI
HASN'T a very good opinion o
Rlattsn,outh, for he was a strange
there and they took him in.
