A Baltimore Ghost,

| There was great excitement in
Donohue's court some time ago,
which extended around and through
several adjoining blocks. Heinrich
/ DeitmyeI committed suicide in the back
back yard of No. Donohue court
! by cutting his throat from
ear to ear. He was buried by
/ the city. His brother Charles would
not allow his body to be brought into
the house. Henrick's ghost came
/ back Wednesday 10 tantaliZe his
brother and nearly scared him to death.
! Mrs. Lizzie Dresher, who occupies the
lower floor of the house No. Z
! Donohue court, under the Deitemyer
family, related the following story to an
American reporter yesterday afternoon:
Il was washing in the back yard all
1 day, had hung my clothes out to dry
and about 6 o clock, when | went out
to take them in, Charles Deitmyer
called me and said: Mrs. Dresher,
you see that piece of wood; have been
trying to chop that piece of wood, but
| ii goes up and down, up and down,
and every time | think | try to hit it, it
is on the other side of the ward and !

the man looked wild and she advised
him to 90 into the house. He would
not 60. but kept on throwing his axe
around Widely at imaginary sticks of
wood Finally he dropped the axe and
opened the door of the clubhouse in the
yard. Then he gave an unearthly
scream. Mrs. Dresher ran towards
him, and as she got near him Deit-
meyer fell back, knocking her over and
eXclaiming: II have seen my brother!'
Mrs. Dresher. as soon as she recovered
from the shock, ran to the front door
and called Officer Costello. The officer
went in and found Deitemyer in pros
trate condition, with drops of pers-
peration big as grains of corn rolling
down his face. He said when he opened
the door of the clubhouse he saw his
brother Heinrich sitting there with his
throat cut, and that Heinrich got up
and grappled him by the throat and
svore he would kill him for having his
body buried in Potters field. Officer
Costello said that when Charles Deit-
meyer regained consciousness his hair
was standing out straight from every
part of his head, and that he said he
would swear that he had seen his
brothers ghost.
An American reporter visited the
scene yesterday afternoon and found
the whole place bottom side up.
Women were frightened, men were
scared, and while there were not many
who believe in ghosts, yet there was
tremor among the whole of them that
they could not shake off. Charles Deit-
meyer, with his sister, was out yester-
day looking for another house, and he
said he would not stay in the house
another night if he had to sleeep on
the ground

The late Jules Sandeau, of the French

Il thought only a few men were up
to the winter bathing mark, observed
the reporter. The bath man laughed
scornfully. "When a lady makes up
her mind to battle every day in the
year, he said, ''nothing can stand her
off. I've seen men who would come
here on cold mornings, undress and
walk to the waters edge, but the min
ute it touched their toes, race back and
get into their clothes again. Not so

short of a tidal wave will stop them.

love of it? No. sir. She was getting
too fat. She tried everything dieting,
exercise and medicine, but nothing
would take her down. At last she
dropped on sea bathing. and that
fetched her. She is nice and slim now,
though plump enough, but when she
came here first she was as fat as but

the city would have her courage. and
our winter business would be worth
something.

How the Tuscan Preserves His Wine.

When a Tuscan flask has been filled
with wine large thimbleful of olive
oil-the genuine olive oils poured in
to the neck and occupies it to the
depth of about an inch. Then little
wad of straw is usually loosely inserted
on top of the oil. but this is merely to
keep the rats from getting at the oil and
tie dust from falling in. The oil floats
on the wine, closes the bottle. and pre-
serves the contents more effectually
than could any cork. When the wine

O'clock, Mr.. +. M. johnson, of Lee

scmc unknown parties aud came
near losing his life. He had gone
over IN the evening TO set awhile
with his ncighbors. the widow Fag-

q mile of his residence, aud started
home at the hour mentioned. When
he had gone about a hundred yards
from tho house walking quietly
along the road some one stepped
out into the road with q shotgun,
fired upon him so near that the
powder burnt his clothes, three
6uckshOt taking effect in his lett
side, and then knocked him down
with the gun. He fell to the ground
in a bali stupor at the mercy OF his
assailants. AS they doubtless
thought him dead, however, they
did not modest him further. Two
gentlemen who were at Mrs. Fag-
CARTS, one her 0 and another
whose name we have not learned,
upon hearing the report OF the gun
went out to SEQ what was the mat
ter. AS they came near to where
Johnson lay they heard some one
say, "Be quiet, they are coming to
him ~ Divining the meaning they
retraced their steps and went as
quick as possible to obtain assist
ance from ncighbors. When they
returned soon after no ono was to

was conscious but helpless. They
carried him home and procured
medical aid as soon as possible, and
his wounds were found to be not
necessarily fatal, and the prospects
for his recovery are thought to be
