A GIRL GHOST.
Playing Her Franks OH the In
mates OF Her Old. Time House.

LoGANsPoRr, IND, May This city
is lust ex periencing treat In the way
of a haunted house. The building
wherein the goblin is plying its girlish
ptanks is situated in the rear OF the
store OF Merriam & Rice, in the very
heart OF the city. 1t is an old two-story
wooden building, which for years has
been the rendezvous OF class OF women
who are descended to about the lowest
depths possible to reach. They have
lived there undisturbed, from the rea.
son that their quarters are surrounded
on all sides by other structures that
hide their deformities from the world
and make their retreat one OF privacy.
There is living there now, as in the past,
lot OF low-down females, and
they claim that of late the house has
been haunted. At times during the
night strange knocks are heard between
the walls and the ceilings. These
noises have been heard time and again
by the inmates, and have caused more
or less alarm. On several occasions,
too, the women claim to have seen the
ghost, as they call it. in all its unearth-
liness. 1t assumes the form and appear
ance OF a woman and is dressed in a
robe of snowy whteness. One night
not long since while one OF the women
was sitting in her room looking dreaml-
" through the window at the darkness,
she was terrified at the sight of figure
before her. 1t was dressed IN white,
and, after remaining in sight for mo-
ment, il suddenly faded away and
was seen no more. On an
other night, and this during the present
week, one of the callers at the house,
while entering by way OF the hal, WAS
suddenly confronted by the spirit, at
tired in white, which threw up its arms
before him, as ii to shut oil his further
progress. After an instant the appari-
ton vanished as suddenly as it had APP
peared, leaving the fellow standing IN
utter amazement and confusion. These
manifestations of the supernatural have
only presented themselves within the
past few weeks, and the women OF the
house affect to believe that they are per-
formed by the spirit OF a girl named
Minnie Worthington, who for time re-
sided in the house, and who, in TACT,
died there only a short time ago. The
women claim that 80 lar as they are
able to discover the strange apparition
is the effect OF some other than natural
cause, and they believe il to be really the
spirit of Minnie Worthington.' The
case is attracting some attention, but
owing to the low reputation OF the
house many people refuse to visit who
in roality desire to do so.

Something OF scare was created east OF
Venice last evening by report brought
in that place that Mr.. Reynolds,

Smiths farm, just outside OF Venice,
hid cut private roadway, which
Was directing the water towards his
land. Several men armed themselves
with shot guns and revolyers, repaired
to the spot, found the road cut, damned
the opening and notified Reynolds not
to interfere with il again. The lowiands
east and north OF Venice are rapidly hil-
ing up from the break OF yesterday, but
it is hoped the river will fall so fast that
no great damage will be done. A large
force OF men are working on the break at
Chateau Slough, and it is believed 1t
will be stopped by this evening.

Joseph K. Black, business partner oil
Albert G. Harmer, member OF Congress
from the Fifth Pennsylvania district,
Joseph Funk, j. Blackman and w. X.
Cason, who were taken into custody
Yesterday for completely in scheme to
defraud the United States government
by putting in straw bids to secure the
contract for carrying the mails, were
arraigned lor hearing before United
States Commissioner Smith IN the
United States Court room. The govern
ment was represented by United States
Distric. Attorney Valentine, while each
of the accused is represented by emlnel t
members OF the Philadelphia bar.
A laIge number OF witnesses
were examined. Ii was shown that the
bonds had been executed in Black 8
office, this city. Black made state
ment which he acknowledged that he
was contraror, and that other people
who had been taken into custody had
bid for him in order that proper security
might be entered; and he further state
that he was able and was perfectly will
ing to indemnify the Government for
any loss that might have sustained. The
testimony previous to this, he state
ment being made was of such con-
flicting character rs to the completely ot
Black that the commissi snsT was unable
to give decision in the matter. Finally
after two hours OF hearing all the ac'
cused were held in $1,000 each for a
further hearing on Monday.

ING. "Huzzs! huzza. Didn't We give 1t TO

/ have another word OF counsel to give
those who have just entered christian
life, and that is,
Be Faithful In Prayer.
You might as well, business man, start
out in the morning without tood and
EXPECT TO be strong all that dsy-you
might as we'll abstain from food all the
week and expect 10 be strong physically,
as to be strong without prayer. Inc
only way 10 get any strength into the
soul is by prayer, and the only differ
srence between that christian that Is
worth ANYTHING and that who is worth
nothing is the fact that the last does not
pray and the other does. And the only
difference between this christian who is
getting along very fast in the holy lie
and this who is only getting along toler'
ably, is that the. first prsys more than
the last. You can graduate mans
progress in religion by the amount oil
PRAYER, not by the number oil hours,
perhaps. but by the earnest supplcation
that he puts up to God. There is no
exception 10 the rule.
Another word of counsel have to
give,
Be Faithful In Bible Research.
A great many good books are now
coming out. We cannot read hall oil
them. At every revolution OF the pnnt'
ing press they are coming. They cover
our parlor tables, and are In our sitting
rooms and libraries? Glorious books
they are. We thank God every day Tor
the work OF the Christian printing press.
But | have thought that perhaps the
followers OF Christ sometimes allow this
religious literature 10 take their atten-
ton from Gods word, and that there
NAV not be as much Bible reading as
there ought to be. How is that with
YOUR own experience? Just calculate In
YOUR minds how much religious litera-
ture you have read during the year, and
then how large a portion OF the word oil
God YOU have read, and then contrast
the TWO dl5NCi yN"A 49,
soul whether you are giving more at
ton to the books that were written by
the hand of man or those written by the
hand of God.
Cling to your Bible II this Bible
should be destroyed; il all the Bibles
that have ever been printed should he
destroyed, we could make up Bible
right ont OF this audience. From that
Christian mans experience l take one
cluster OF promises, and from that old
Christian mans experiences another,
and | put them all together, and | think
| would have Bible. Ii the memories
of men by some great calamity should
be entirely destroyed, and they could not
recall the Bible. we would still have
Bible. Ii would be in the face OF some
aged man all ready for the skies that
would read pardon for sin, the grave
shattered. apocalyptIc visions OF heaven.
