The Franks OF Some Smart Young Men
with Little to DO. vi
The stone-throwing "ghost," who haunted
the neigh borhood of Mrs. OCallaghan's
domicile in Anacostia for some time past, has
forsaken that locality and become phos-
phorescent and ghostly rover of the Eastern
branch of the Potomac. Several sup erstitious
Anacostans stated to REPUBLICAN reporter
last night that the specter and its misty craft
can be seen almost any night scudding along
the shore enveloped in a faint halo of ghostly
light.
There is an inclination on the part of some
to believe that the alleged ghost is we'll
known young man of tricky habits who re-
sides on Good Hope hill. A party of young
men, headed by Mr.. William Clark, tried to
follow the spooky craft Monday night in a
row boat. They claim that the specter sloop
disappears instant tly upon their approach.
ThoB residents of Anacostia who do not
believe in supernatural things declare that
the stone-throwing spo ok and the nautical
spook are one and the same, and that both
are the pranks of some "smart" young men.

Torpedoes for Sea Coast Defense.

Gen. Wright, chief of engineers, stated to a
reporter of THE REPUBLICAN last night that
he would recommend to the next congress
tho necessity of remodeling and supplying
with modern armament those sea coast do
fenses Of the United States whore it is pro-
posed to protect harbors and cities with tor
pedoes. He said that unless the proposed
torpedo fields are protected by improved high
power guns there would be nothing to pre-
vent hostile fleet from taking up the torpe-
does in detail, leaving the channel clear for
the passage of its heavily armored, gunboats.
He will also urge the necessity of preparing a
quantity of torpedoes and storing them at
convenient points for immediate use when
required, and to that end will recommend
liberal appropriations for that purpose.
