GRANTS PENsIONING.

The EX-fresident Represented as Get
ting Nothing from the Gift Fund.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "A near friend of
the President states that his reason for
recommending that Gen. Grant be placed
on the pension list was that he knew
Gen. Grant to be in very embarrassed cir
cumstances. The $25O,OcO Grant fund was
invested, at the suggestion of the late ex-
Gov. E. D. Morgan, in Wabash Railway
bonds, Mr.. Morgan guaranteeing per
cent interest tor ten years; but
the bonds do not yield any in
terest, and the Morgan estate is
so involved that it is difficult, if not i'm
possible, for the executors TO make good
the guarantee; besides the ten years period
will expire within the next two years.
Gen. Grant cannot sell the bonds, and so
is practically without pecunary re-
sources. 1t is understood that Senator
Logan will shortly introduce a DILL

list, and that it will be pressed in both

CLEVELAND's HAUNTED HOUSE
Strange Visions Seen in the Residence
of Shipherd, the Suicide

ol SDlpueTUy' the Su1c1ue.
CLEVELAND, Nov. ga sensational
story is afiOat concerning the stone-frOnt
mansion on Prospect street formerly
owned and occupied by James r. Ship
herd, the milliner, who committed suicide
while under sentence to the wOrkhouse.
The account is here set down as it was
given to the New York Times cOrrespon-
dent by a reputable gentleman, and no
attempt is made to explain it or vouch
for anything that ones reason would re-
ject. "YOu know" said he, 'Ethat Shipherd
was head milliner in a large establishment: /:
that he was caught taking money for his
own use, and that he hanged himself while
under sentence to the WorkhOuse. He
then owned and lived in that house over
there, and going to its garret one morn
ing threw rope over a rafter, mounted a
trunk, and swung himself into eternity.
The house was sold, and put into the
market for tenant. Among the things
left IN tie residence was this old trunk,
Some days after the sign was put up a
man and his wife called to look at the
place. 1t was late in the afternoon, and
the kitchen and parlOrs had been thor

wife at the foot of the stairs, he followed
the noise. On reaching the garret he was
Mortified to see a man hanging from the
rafters. He thought it a wOuld-be sui
eide, and ran forward to cut the man
down, when the whole thing vanished.
His wife met him at the foot of the stairs,
and noticing his pallor asked if he was ill.
He made some excuse, and
after entering his carriage
informed his wife that the residence
would hardly do. Soon after another
man, accompanied by male friend, went
to look at the house. They were exam
lining the rooms, when one was attracted
by sound as if some one was walking
overhead. They went on up stairs, and
reaching the garret, saw the form of
man sitting on the trunk with his back to
them. The next instant he was gone.
They examined the trunk and the garret.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The confirma-
tion of ex-Gov. Crosby, of Montana, as
First Assistant Postmaster General is not
to be consummated without some opposi-
tion, and it may be that the opposition
will prove strong enough to defeat the
confirmation. 1t seems that Mr.. Crosby
antagonized some of the leading Republi-
cans in Montana during mis- administra-
tion as Governor, and these men, headed
by the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, are determined to be
revenged upon him. Friends of
Mr.. Crosby state that while Gov
ernor of the Territory he preferred charges
against and secured the removal of sew
eral Federal office holders, and that they
have attempted to balance the account bv
filing counter-charges against him with
the Post Office Committee of the Senate.
Mr.. Maginnis, the Delegate from Mon
tana, is, however, an earnest supporter of
the Ex-Governor, and he will use his infiu-
ence with the Democrats in the Senate in
MIR. Crosby's behalf, and it is believed
that he will be confirmed.

Murphy's Murder Accomplished by "a
Pack of Foes Who all Fired at Once.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. "A. j. Murphy,
who was shot last night, was superinten-
dent of gang of men working on Clai-
borne street. He was sitting on his door
step when two officers of Judge Ford's
court appeared on one side, and while he
was looking at them two men in citizens
dress and one police officer came
round the corner in another direc-
ton and shot at him, each
man having revolver. Murphy jumped
into the street and finally got his revolver
out and returned their fire. After empty
ing his revolver he ran around the corner
of Dumalne street, where he was shot
down and killed. He received five wounds,
either of which might have been fatal.
The following persons were arrested and
charged ON Information received with be-
ing implicated in the murder: Recorder
Y. j. Ford and his brother, Patrick H.
Ford, Court Officers W. Z. Garfield,
Charles Bader and ". H. Buckley, and
Policeman John Murphy.
AN OLD FEUD THE CAUSE.
Bad blood had existed between Ford
and Murphy for a long time. Some
months ago Murphy was arrested charged
with breach of the peace. Recorder
Ford fined him $25, with the alternative
of 80 days Imprisonment, the Recorder
stating from the bench that Murphy was
a hoodlum, dead beat and city emplOye.
Murphy paid his fine and a few days
later placarded Ford, making some
very damaging statements af-
fecting his character. For
this the grand Jury indicted Murphy
for libel. The cas9 was fixed for Thurs
day next. Murphy and his counsel, since
the indictment, have asserted that they
could prove the truth of the alleged libel
Ford denies all knowledge of the shooting.
A man named Fleming, who was sitting
on the, steps with Murphy, was slightly
wounded.

He Falsely Ayers that the Democrats
will Scalp EatOn's Commits sion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Mr. Keifer is in
very malignant mood. He feels his
severe chastisement keenly. Neverthe-
less, his remarkable cheek enabled him
to come to the front on the Republican
side to-day. "The leader of the left" as a
Democrat wittily remarked in defense
of the illegal acts of Marshal Wright, of
Cincinnati. He was aided by Messrs.
Reed and Boutelle, of Maine. Tonight the
following interview with Mr.. Keifer ap-
pears in local paper: "EX-Speaker
Keifer says the Democrats in Congress
determined long ago to do away
with the Civil Service Commission
in the event of the election of
their candidate for President, and he
thinks that they will attempt to nullify
the law by refusing an appropriation to
enforce it. He says that such an attempt
will be fought by the Republicans" Of
course Mr.. Keifer's statement is false.
The Democrats have no such intention
as he attributes to them. They will not
abolish the Civil Service Commission, nor
will they enfeeble it in any way.
