CHICAGO, April LA special from Sedan,
De Kalb county, Ind, says: About a year
ago Mr. Samuel Miser, thrifty farmer, died
at his home four miles south Of Sedan. His
son.in-law, with his wife, had lived in the
house with the old folks, and the former
became fayorite Of the elder Miser, and
consequently ministered to the old gentle-
mans necessities in a kind and aflectionate
manner After the deceRse OF the head of
the family one OF the sons "got round his
mother"-as the saying goes and the son-in.
law was removed from the farm to give place
to his rival. Another son claims that he was
defrauded by not receiving deed to eight
acres OF land which was given to him by biz
fathers will.
Since the 18th day OF last September at
different times after o'clock at night, Il has
been stated b. good authority that bright
light has been seen at the window OF the
miser's residence and loud ruInbling noise
was heard. In addition to this hight
as il conducted by an invisible hand has
been seen slowly moving around tile disputed
tract of land. Hundreds OF people have
visited the scene, many OF whom positively
assert that they saw the lights and heard the
noise.
A large party Of men and boys have just
returned from the haunted locality, and the
report is confirmed by several Of the COM
pany. The present occupant Of the house
gave warning to-day that hereafter parties
who visited his premises for the purpose OF
seeing spooks would take their
chances Of being killed The strangest part
Of the affair is that some of the most reliable
citizens says unequivocally that they saw the
light in the field and as II was moonlight the
form Of an individual could readily be de-
tected. II the alleged manifestation is an
artful trick, its perpetrators have gulled the
public in most successful manner.

Boon after the opening Of the Newark
Methodist Episcopal Conference at Nyaok
N. Y, Thursday morning, q communion
tion from the judicial conference wal
read, rsinstating the Rev. George R
Bristor, who had bsen expelled from the
conference on charges Of gross immor
allty. Virtually he was reinstAted some
time ago, immediately after he was exon
Grated by the triers OF appeal, composed
Of members Of the Newark Conferences
and disintereBted ministers Of other con.
fsrenoes. Although Mr.. Bristor has bseD
reinstated the presiding bishop can make
It decidedly unpleasant for him, since he
possesses the authority to transfer him to
some remote conference or assign him to
q charge whose salary does not exceed
$500 yearly. Whether the bishop will
do either OF these things remains to BIZ
Seen and his action Ia awaited with con
siderable curiosity.
At the session Of the Newark Methodist
Episcopal Conference at Nyaok, N. Y,
Tuesday, the committee in the case Of
the Rev. G. R. Bristor reported that there
WAS no ground for the charge against
him. The accused stated, in open con
ference, that the young man through
whose agency the Charge had been made
had pushed it to get s1O0 by blaokmail.

NEW YoRK,s POsTMAsrER.
How the News of PearsOn's KeaI
nolnfmenG was Resolved.


potntment Was Received.
The news Of the disappointment OF
Henry G. Pearson to be POI tmsster at
New York created great surprise among
the politicians Of this city. Toe fact that
the Presidents action la the matter was
q great disappointment to . very large
number Of Democrats could not be con
oealed, and few expressed themselves
very freely and emphatlcslly 10 condem
nation OF the appointment.
The most severe denunoi1tion Of the
appointment came from applicants, or
their friends, for Federal offices. Among
this class OF people the greatest disap-
poinlment and disgust was expressed, and
opinions that the President was to all
political PURPOSES . Republican were
heard frequently. There are, however,
many Democrats who take different
view OF the matter and while they do OF
heartily approve Of the PfesidenPs action
are open % conviction that the appoint
ment was judicious one and may accrue
TO tie pArty's benefit. They believe
that tho large endorsement Of both Demo
orAts and Republicans al the back OF Mr..
Pearson indicated that he Was the beat
qualified applicant for the place.
Tho Republicans Of course are de
lighted at the appointment, while many
OF them state that the President took the
most polite course, and that the appoint
ment will eventually strengthen him,
and increase the faith OF the business
men in his statement that the sdminis-
tration would be conducted upon bust
oess principles. The Republican Federal
office holders here are especially blessed,
aud interpret the appointment to mean
for them 4 continuance In Office until
heir respective terms expire, aud what
ever dangers they felt Of . premature
removal, are in \ measure dispelled.

admitted the frequent whipping Of
the child with long piece OF heavy rope,
after removing her clothing aud continu
ing his beating until the child's flesh
was horribly laoerAted and she uncon'
scicus. Upon several occasions after
administering these severe ohastisements
he would rob salt and pepper In the
girls wounds to increase her suffering.
ehoes were denied the child in winter
although she was forced to 60 ont In the
cold and her feet were frozen go bsdly
that smputation would have to have been
reeorted 10. The only treatment chs
received for the frost bites was to cit for
days with her feet in . bucket packed
with snow. Whole corn was feI the
child, and when she took food from the
cellar the father tied her In bed and beat
Ger until she WAS thrown into spsams,
rom which she died. the child is de-
