Night Assoc!nted Press Report.l

The CoDstantInople correspondent
OF the Manchester Guardian says the
British fleet Is still at Tousla chan,
mel. The squadron has reached BesiN
ka bay, and will probably be ordered
to rendezvous at Tousla.
This evening the Pail Mall Gazette
prints the following dispatch from
Berlin Prince Bismarck is disinclined
to attend the conference. 1t is stated
his health is declining. The physi
clan recommends an early return to
Varsin. 1t is thought here England
will decline to invest her representa-.
tive with the powers implied in the
proposed change of the conference to u
congress.
The Pail Mall Gazette's Rome cor.
respondent says Signor Crispps resig-
nation probably presages the cabinets
fall. King Humbert will probably
commission Signors Cairli and Ganar.
deli to form ministry. A coalition
government is impossible as the left
refuses to compromise.
A Rome dispatch says: At the cab
met council yesterday, Signor Crispi
resigned the ministry of the interior
Signor Deprez, president OF council
and minister of foreign affairs, will
Professionally administer the depart
ment. Signor Crispi succeeded Baron
Nicotera in the interior department
after the last crisis. There is no hope
OF the reConcilating of the liberal
party with the cabinet.
A Rome dispatch has the following |:
In speech from the throne, the king
refers to the Holy See as follows !:
"Pope Plus IN, after governing the
church for thirty-two years, has de.
suended to the tomb, regretted and
venerated. The rites of elec,iDg his
successor have been performed in per.
feet freedom, and without disturbing
the tranquility Of the state, peace of
conscience or independence of the
ministers of religion. Maintaining
our institutions and reconciling re.
spect for religion with determined
defense OF state laws and principles OF
civilization, we prove how great are
the fruits OF liberty. We are confident
that in our hands Italy will not fall
from her exalted position"

A Jealous Ghost.

Boston Globe A real ghost has APP

at a dwelling house in neigbbOring
city, according to information said to
be veracious, stalking about from room
to room in the dead hours Of the night,
like the old man Hamlet. Worse than
that, indeed, II our informant does not
err, the disem bodied visitor opens
doors with bang, moves the bedstead
and "a bridal bedstead at that-from
place to place, rattles the china In the
closet, and climbs up and down the
attic stairs with the noise OF elanking
chains. After his departure gusts Of
cold air sweep through the house, and
some say there Is an 0dor Of birthstone
in the atmosphere. The departed spir-

removed from the parlor wall and
stored in the attic, and that OF the new

the premises, has been hung up in its
place. The deceased party appears to

San francisco Times: Green's liant
dream was a source of some curiosity
and interest to the persons In the same
Jail room. He told IL to the prisoner
in the next cell, who repeated 1t to the
man beyond him, and so 1t passed on
throughout the prison. The dream
was to this effect: He said he thought
tho hour for his end had come, and
that he was led forth to die. He
said he had to climb up ladder and
was pushed of. The rope WIS old and
rotten, and he thought that after he
had swung to and fro some time, with
great agony and pain, the rope broke
and he had to wait until new rope
was brought, during which time he
was almost strangliDg by the remnants
of the old one. This was the last dream
OF the condemned man, and II gave
him some little care and anxiety, un.
til he was assured positively, by sew
eral friends, that the rope was good
one and the gallows strong.

A REMARKABLE CAREER.-John OConor, late
member of the Ohio Legislature, who was arrested
in Dayton, Ohio, Saturday, on the charge of forg-
ing pension certificate, has, according to dis
patch to the New York Herald, had most re-
markable career. He entered the army at four
teen and became notorious as bounty jumper.
At the close of the war he became associated with
a gang of thieves, and in blowing open safe re-
ceiy o. szsands that marked him for life, and won
for him the soubriquet of "Three- Fingered Jack.
Within the past ten years he has served three
years in the State penitentiary for highway rob
berry; has obtained admittance to the National
Soldiers Home by alleged forged papers; received
pension from the government for injuries con-
tracted while connected with gang of thieves,
and by means of alleged forged certificates; has
represented Ohio in the Legislature, with attend
ant honors, for part of term, and has now a fair
prospect of returning to the penitentiary for a
still longer period.
1t may not be out of place to state that O'Conor
was elected to the Ohio Legislature as a Democrat
but was turned out of that body before the close
of the session when his true character became
known. Why man of his stamp should be
taken up ami elected to an important Office it is
hard to understand Honest and respectable men
must be scarce where he came from.
