nothing. President King takes all the
blame on himself. His recent advances
were made without the knowledge of the
other officers and directors. The Bank
Examiner is now on his way from Washing

CLEVELAND, November 2S.-Great eX
citement exists in the vicinity Of Woodland
avenue over the manifestations in an empty
house which is said to be haunted. Las;
night ten street car conductors, equipped
with lanterns repaired to the scene where
he goblins are said to hold revel at the hour
when all is hushed and still. Six Of the
men stood near he fence and the other four
went into the house. They searched each
room carefully, watching for any suspicious
objects, and sounded the walls and floors in
quest Of hidden closets and trap doors, bat
they failed to find anything which would
lead to the discovery Of supernatural beings.
They then started to leave the house, when
their lanterns were suddenly extinguished
without any apparent cause and long
,oud moan sounded through the vacant
coom. They fed from the scene, and the
sounds followed them for a long distance.
On Saturday morning Andrew Belden,
accompanied BY his hired man and armed
with shoyels, visited the house on pros

flared up in all the windows of the house,

turning home they assert that they saw

employees, and that is something Republi-
cans in Congress will try to avoid. They
could turn in and slay the appropriation
bills right and left but for that circumstance.
The Democrats will not fight appropriations
for fear of tying their own hands, and, as .
consequence, bills providing ways and
means will slip throug h with very little fric-
ZION. The Democrats can set headsmen
at work Immediately after the 4th OF March,
and the Republicans can in turn tie the
Democrats up for two years, making an un-

NEW York, November 2S.-Word was re-
ceived to-day that the appraisers who had

the widow Margheretta Ross, Of No. 100
Second street, who died about month ago,
had in the course of their search through
cast of dresses, empty bureaus and out Of
the way eupboards, suddenly, unexpectedly
and without previous warning discovered
mysterious brown box which looked solid
and fateful. 1t was said that the bottom
sounded hollow, and when it was removed
nearly $4,000 worth of paper anil iewelry
had been disclosed to the astonished gaze Of
the appraisers.
A reporter set out at once for the scene
of discovery. He found Mr. Peter Ross, one
of the seven children whom the deceased
had left behind her. Mr.. Ross, after assur
ing the reporter that he worked every day
Tor his living, also convinced him that there
was not a word of truth in the story Mrs
Nickla, daughter of the deceased, likewise
informed the reporter that she was a plain
woman. She was quite ignorant Of the
