Serious Charges.

HERKTMER, n. Y, December Dust
before the adjournment to-day the Board
of Supervisors were astonished at the
presentation of charges against the man
agement OF the County House, preferred by
Mary Bassett, of this village. She is the
daughter of the late Benjamin Lane, who
was taken to the Utica Asylum May .,
1883, and removed TO the County House
April | last where he died November 25th.
She visited her father November 18th and
noticed sores on the back of his hands
and on his nose. His mustache was also
bloody. Attendant Tucker could not tell
the cause OF the sores. When the remains
were brought to her house she and others
discovered yermin on them. She believes
he was brutally treated and brutally neg
lccted, County Superintendent Crowley
denies the charges. The Supervisors have
ordered an investigation.

Women and Children Frightened Out o.

The Spook in Jail.

NEW LONDON, Conn, December g.
Three ghosts have been frightening the
women and children of the quaint little
village Of Mystic on the Sound, eight OF
ten miles east of here, for several weeks
Women and girls were at first pursued
almost nightly by tall, white figure that
rose up suddenly from the way
side, and seemed to their alright
ed vision to float swiftly on the
wind toward them. They sped
down the street closely chased by the APP
partition and dashed into their homes out
OF breath and fell on the floor. At length
the terror became so general that few
women and girls ventured out of their
houses after dark, and when they did so,
hurried along their roads, often turning
an affrighted glance over their shoulders
lest the three ghosts might steal on them
unaWares.
Next company of young men was or.
gained to lie in wait, with loaded shot
guns, for the ghostly disturbers Of the
peace, and sevea! parties staid out all

about the village, lying on the frosted
grass behind walls and fences, or in the
shadow of unlighted buildings. No spec.
ter appeared in
THE SILENT STREETS,
and the watchers went home and
thawed out in the chimney place with
draughts of hot cider. Thereupon a
committee OF two or three young men
arrayed themselves in hoop skirts,
dresses and bounets, and after dark
minced coquettishly up and down
the sidewalks hoping to lure the ghosts
into pursuing them. For two nights
the ruse was without results, but a
few evenings ago one OF the ghosts was
tempted out. He sprang at one
of the masqueraders, who at
first fed, leading the ghost
on, until he suddenly wheeled, and,
throwing his arms around the ghost, held
him in a merciless hug. The captive was
lugged before a police justice, who had
him locked up, The ghost was Albert c..
Briggs Observation-Disclosures of the village.
He was sentenced to thirty days in jail for
disturbing the peace. Who the other
ghosts are is not known, as Briggs refuses
TO expose them. They have not been
seen since his arrest.

Drawing to a Close.

BINGHAMToN, n Y, December 1.-The
trial Of Mencken for the murder of Katie
Brodhoft is rapidly approaching conclu-
sion. The evidence for the defense is all
in, and the case will probably be given to
the jury this afternoon. Judge Smith,
counsel for the defense, requested the
Judge TO let the case 90 to the jury with
out argument, and it is probable the re-
quest will be granted. The court has
taken RECESS until half-past two O'Clock,
when the Judge will render his decision

The Pig-Iron Trade.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, December 5.-The
project to restrict the production Of pig
iron by banking furnaces for month or
more, has been allowed TO die quietly.
Instead of further restriction, reports re-
ceiyed at the office OF the Pig-Iron Assoc
citation of this city are TO the
effect that q number of furnaces will
blow in during the next month. In
view OF the complaint of dull trade and
low prices, the resumption of work seems
paradoxical, but 1t is stated that the stock
on hand Is much lighter now than at any
previous time for years, and that, while
there Is no prospect in the immediate flu
ture for better prices, there is room for
more iron than is piled in the yards at
present
