A GHOST WITH A SWORD.
The Strange ApparitiOn That is Brighten
ing the People of Flushing.

The Strange Appar1dOn That is Brighten
ing the People of Flushing.
N Y. Herald.
The town of Flushing, L. l., is excited
over the appearance of a ghost in the
heart of the place. The apparition was
first seen about week ago coming out
of the old Quaker meeting house on
Broadway just east of Main street It is
clad in white and generally has an old
style sword hanging at its side. The
spook moves along quietly and interferes
with nobody. Chief Of Police Hause
was told about the ghost at one o'clock
one morning and he called the reserve
and fastened to the meeting house. AS
the party approached the building the
Chief was astounded at seeing the strange
form disappear in the meeting house.
The men approached the house cautious
vi, but found the doors and windows fas-
tened At this time the party had in
creased to ten, and one of the men
peered through the key, hole Of the front
door. He only looked for a second and
then ran across a vacant lot. The others
ran after him, and when they caught up
to him they demanded an explanation
of his fight.
"Let us go home" said he. "After
what saw through that key hole new
er want to go out again after dark. l saw
three big men dressed in white and with
swords hanging at their sides. When l
looked in they were very close together,
and one of them seemed to be explain
ing something to the other two. Then
they began to dance and ran away"
The Chief kept the matter very quiet,
and the next night he placed a watch on
the house. The officers stayed near by
all night but could see nothing of the
mysterious visitor. The watch was con-
tinued for few nights with the same re-
suit. On Friday night young man of
| the village, who had not heard of the
ghost, was passing the meeting house
he saw the apparitiOn, he said, and his
description OF it tallies with that given
by others who claim to have seen it.
| Chief Of Police Charles Hause said
yesterday:-"I don't believe in ghosts;
but tits strange that so many people
should see the same thing and about the
same hour at night. I intend to lay fOr
it myself, and if there is anything there
you can bet I'll have it inside of week.
Mr.. Eubank lives in the rear of the
meeting house. He is Lightweight years
os age, and is one of the leading mem
| bers of the Society of Frinds, who wor-
ship in the meeting house. His facul-
ties are not very bright, but his youngest
son, who is sixty years of age, gave his
version of the ghost story. He said:-"I
think it is all nonsense. When 1 was a
boy, about fifty years ago, I remember
very well that there was a real ghost in
the meeting house. You see, where the
meeting house now stands was burial
ground during the revolutionary war
Fifty years ago they might be making
some trouble, but should think it is SO
long ago that there wouldn't be enough
of them left to make any trouble now"

dent abstraction provoked comment on
the part Of his friends. Try as he would,
the beautiful face at the window haunt
ed him still, and he yielded to an ire
slstble impulse to return to the house
where his fate resided, in hope of getting
another wave of the hand or a smile of
encouragement to loves young dream.
AS luck would have it, fortune smiled
on the young man, and the lady was Just
leaving the house, accompanied by tall
and elderly gentleman, as he reached
there. She recognized him at once, and
rosy bushes sufused her face as she en-
tered the carriage in waiting and was
driven rapidly away. Young Hancock
was now more eager than ever, and, hail
ing passing cab, directed the driver to
follow the carriage containing the beau
tiful unknown. Finally her carriage
stopped, and she entered the house of an
old army friend of the ardent lover, who
followed close after and was admitted by
the friend in person. To him the smitten
youth unbosomed himself, and an intro
duction followed to Miss Mary Russell, a
daughter of one of st. Louis wealthiest
merchants The young lady seemed to
have been struck by the same dart that
pierced her lovers heart, and a cordial
Invitation to call was extended to him.
need say no more. The rest of the story
is simply the oft-told tale, for in six
months Miss Mary Russell became Mrs.
Winfield Scott Hancock, and she is held
in the Warmest esteem by all those who
know her many charming and womanly
qualities. This is but one of many ro-
mantle tales that one hears here nearly
every day, and their recital is one of the
pleasantest features Of Washington life.

SINGULAR STATE OF AFFAIRS.

A Young IOwan Reported Dead Turns Up
Alive and Wen in Central America.
Dubuque Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.
Some years ago a fne-looking young
German named F. W. Borneman, came
to small town in Iowa and worked
aWhlle IN a drug store. He made many
trends among the young ladies, and with
one OF them he was especially intimate,
III TACT, too much SO, and was forced to
leave the place IN August, 1872. He left
his personal property and salary as a
drug clerk in his haste to get away. He
went to st. Louis, and wrote back to an
uncle for $50, which was sent him. He
then went to New Orleans, and from
thence made similar request for money,
which was also sent. The next heard
OF him was that he had gone to Costa
Rlca and died. On receipt of this
news his uncle, Frederick Pohlman,
applied for letters of administration, and
proceeded to settle up the nephew's
affairs. He repaid himself, and sent the
remainder back to Borneman's father in
Germany. About month ago Mr.. Pohl-
man received a letter from his nephew
in Central America, saying he was alive
and well, and prospecting in his new
home. 1t was novel state of affairs
The estate had been settled, but the ad-
ministrator had not been discharged. He
wrote to his nephew and stated the facts
in the case, and also applied for dis
charge as administrator. On Tuesday
last he field the following letter from his
nephew:
"LIMoN, Costa Rica, March 22d, 1884
To the Circuit Court of Clayton county,
Iowa: 1, F. w. Borceman, declare that
| am the identical person who worked
for T. w. Wood in his store at McGregor,
Iowa, for nearly three years, to August
1872. That I went from there to St. Lou
is when Frederick U. POhlman loaned
me $50; thence to New Orleans, where
he loaned me another $50; thence I
went to Costa RIGA, Central America,
where was long sick and reported dead:
I understand my uncle, Frederick Pohl-
man, administered my estate in Clayton
county, Iowa, and sent a small balance
of money to my father in Germany. Be-
ing alive and well, and satisfied that
said uncle has done everything that was
his duty, and respecting him for his
kindness to me, I declare that he owes
neither me nor my estate anything, and
ask the said court to discharge my said
administrator uncle from all liability to
me or my estate"
The above statement was sworn to be-
fore W. G. Unckler, United States Con-
sular Agent at Limon, Costa Rica, Central
America. The young lady whom he
was intimate with and who was the
cause of his sudden and mysterious dis
appearance, soon after his departure be-
came the mother of boy baby. The
boy is now in his twelfth year, and the
mother is still living single life in a
small town in Clayton county in almost
destitute circumstances. Now that her
betrayer, who she believed to have been
dead S has turned t up Wealthy veal merchant
home and either demand wife's rights
or prosecute him for the injury done.
The meeting will probably prove good
sequel to this romantic beginning.

Medical Record.
A good deal of prominence was given
last Fall, says the Sanitary Engineer, in
the papers, to the occurrence of diphthe-
ria in a family In Amsterdam, n. Y. Two
children died at intervals of several
months and third was taken sick. The
Board of Health appointed q committee
to investigate, which examined the
house and Its surroundings and obtained
statement from the attending physi-
clan. They have recently made their
report, finding that there were no bad
conditions existing in or about the
house sufficient to explain the appear
ance of the disease. and they conclude
that it came from cat which was fon-
died by the child who first fell i'll. This
cat was found at the time to have sWol-
len throat and to be suffering from a
discharge from the mouth and nostrils
1t died few days afteaward. Three
days after the death ofthe cat the child
fell sick with malignant diphtheria and
died In about week. During its illness
it played with a doll which was after
wards given to younger child, as il was
supposed to have been properly fuIni-
gated with sulphur fumes. This child,
shortly after being allowed to play with
the doll, also fell Ill of diphtheria and
died. The third child also played with
the doll and fell i'll, but recovered. The
Board of Health therefore, traces the
temperance Of the disease In the fam
lily, after the death of the first child, to a
doll.

sPOT's CARE FOR sHEP.

How One Dog Cared for Another That Was
In Well.
From the Lewiston Journal.
Before the thaw, Mark Sampson lost
his dog Shep. Shep was last seen play
ing with SIMPSONS other dog, Spot, on
the crust on Benefits hill. Spot came
home, but Shep could not be found.
boy he met, but could hear nothing of
the lost dog. Mark would rather have
lost q COW. He travelled three days on
snoWshoes, but Gould not hear a word
from Shep. One night, coming home
late, hungry and tired, after hours of I'M
successful searching, he threw himself
on the bed, and during the sleep that
| followed Mark dreamed the dog was in
V. P. Benefits old abandoned well. He
dreamed the same dream twice.
Mark had no faith in dreams, but to
please his wife he went and looked down
IN the we'll. In the blackness he could
see two stars. The well was 80 feet deep
and dry. He spoke to the dog, and he
could see the two stars moving round.
He could hear no voice, but he knew the
two stars in the bottom of the well were
Shops two eyes. Then Mark cried, "Dog
in the well, three times. Mark is not
low spoken in common conversation,
and when he yells he makes the hills
and woods shake. In less than three
minutes steady stream of boys was
seen going up Benefits hill. A line was
brought and George Russell lowered into
the well. When George reached the
bottom he found Shep tickled almost to
death to see him. He had been in the
well four days and nights. He wasn't
hungry, but was awfully dry. His hun
ger had been stayed in this remarkable
manner:
While he was laying at the bottom Of
the old empty well, Spot was hanging
around Mr.. Benefits every morning af-
| ter breakfast and would always be thrown
liberal amount of food. In the bottom
of the well the boy who went down in
the bucket was surprised to find con-
siderable number of bones, and a piece
or two of well preserved meat, which
seemingly had been left over from Shops
last meal. The path leading to the well
which Spot had made completes the sto.
ry. He had substantially remembered
his companion, who had had the mis-
fortune to fall into the well.

General Hanoock's Romance.

COr Boston Times.
I was talking politics with a Senator
from the West, this week, and, on men
tioning General Hancock's name, he told
me story of the gallant General that is
romantic enough TO repeat. Soon after
his graduation from West Point, when
but little past his majority, he started
for the West in company with number
of army men, to see the country. They
stopped at St Louis, and while there
General Hancock met his future wife.
He was taking one of his customary
morning rides on horseback in the most
fashionable part of the city, when he
caught sight of handsome young lady
standing at a window. His heart was
touched at once-and for the first time
and, without thought of the improprie-
ty of his action, involuntarily he reined
his charger and took off his hat The
fair vision at the window waved a shape
ly white hand, blushed, and drew the
curtain. This only increased the young
mans disease, and when he returned to
his hotel his absent mindedness and evil

The plan of raising strawberries around
barrels is said to give good results. The
directions are to bore large holes in the
slaves of the barrels at regular intervals
all around, fill the barrel with rich soil
and well rotted manure, and plant the
vines in the auger holes. An ordinary
flour barrel, it is said, will contain room
around it for 100 plants.
