IRON the AelG YORK Times.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 9.-One of the
Irost remarkable and apparently best au-
tbenticated ghost stories ever reported
here is the talk of the street to-day. For
a number of years John Dewberry, an IN
dividual remarkable for his many eccen-
tricities, kept a sal on on Sixth street,
between Market and jefferson. Mr.. Dew
berry was taken sIck and after a lInger-
ing illness died about five months ago.
He left a widow and two children in very
fair circumstances. After her husbands
death Mrs. Dewberry sold out the saloon
aud residence on Sixth street and moved TO
Madison street, below Fifteenth. Shortly
after O'clock this morning Tom Strubel
and his partner, Pat Grimes, the new
firm, were standing behind the bar when
a woman heavily yelled rushed in and
! asked to be allowed to go into the back
yard. Her request being granted. she
| went to the left hand corner of the yard
ana scraped aside lot of ru bbish. then
took a small flower spade she bad con-
cealed in the folds of her dress and dug
away the earth until she found cigar
box. This she removed from the earth
and tainted away. The men rushed TO
the wOman's side and found her to be Mrs.
Dewberry. The box by her side contained
a salt bag containing gold. This they
counted, and found twelve $40 gold
pieces and and number of smaller coins,
making total of $3.50 When
Mrs. DewberrV revived she declared
that while sleeping in her room last night
she was awakened by the touch of an ICY

his burial robes, and his words were few.

disappeared. The story is corrOborated

PROBING A MYSTERY.
Peculiar Relations Between Doc"
Wilson and a Millionaire.

]
BOSTON, Nov. 12.-The second trial Of
the famous suit of ''Doc'' Levi Wilson
against p. l.. Moen, the wealthy 5arbed
wire manufacturer of Worcester, began
Wednesday. Wilson was defendant in
several suits of breach of promise, one be-
ing brought by Hattie Engles. He claims
that Moen was anxious to have the suit
settled and agreed pay the costs. winch
were sic, 1000, and to give Wilson $lOO,OW
besides. Wilson agreed and settled
the suit is brought TO recover the
balance with interest, the total
now amounting to $4,000. Both to-
day and at the former trial Wilson testi-
ned that he bad received between $780,
coo and $500, 900 from Moen during the
past seven or eight years. and the mys-
terry is is to the reciprocal consideration.
IL has been supposed that W llson was
the original dscoverer Of the barbed-
wire device from which Moen made his
millions, and that the pa ments we're IN
the nature OF royalty. There have also
been stor es af1oat to the effect that Viii.
son had kGOwledse of some criminal act
of MOen, and that these enormous sums
were paid as hush money. Newspaper
gossip relative to some murdered Hun
garlan has also been brought into the
case.
La all Wilson's testimony to-day he per-
sIstently evaded the most strenuous Ell
forts OF counsel to get at the consldera-
ton. saying that Mr, Moen could best tell.
he denied, however, that he had ever
turned over a patent to Moen, or that he
had ever threatened the latter IN any way.
The most suggestive part of his testimony
was his statement, detailed at great
length, that Moen displayed great anxiety
to get the Engles family out of the way,
that be Wilson took the Engles to Europe
for Moen in 1879, stayed there five months
trying TO persuade the Engles TO stay IN
Europe, was authorized by Moen TO offer
them $4,000 to stay abroad, tn at they re-
fused, and that when be returned home
and tod Moen tie result the latter was
wild over it, and at once began efforts to
get the Engles to go West and stay there.
Wilson denied that he knew the cause Of
Moen's anxiety. He said that he had
lived in the same house with Miss Engies,
and that she was known as his wife. She
had two children, but he didn't know
whose they were. 1t is said that Moen
made the statement that if the case ever
came to trial again he would tell all.
His testimony Is awaited with great in
terest.

THE BODIES HELD IN MEXICO.
The Friends of Griner Astonished
and Indignant.

From the Ne10 York Times.
UvALDE, TEX, Nov. 10.-Col. John
Weymiller, father OF Mrs. Hewlett Griner,
the wealthy ranchman who was so bru-
tally murdered near Las Vegas, Mex,
Monday evening, returned here to-day,
having failed to bring the body of his SON.
in-law home with bin. Weymiller was
accompanied by half dozen of Griner's
most intimate friends. 1ney called upon
the Alcalde at Las Vegas andsdemanded
the surrender OF the bodies of Griner and
his faithful employe, John Weaver, no
was killed at the same time. The
Alcalde called the Mexican lawyers
OF the town together, and they all
decided that the laws Of Coahuila pro-
hibited the removal of the corpse OF
murdered person from without the juris-
dlctiOn of the court that would try the
murderers. The Americans were aston.
ished when told that such law existed.
eymlller, not satisfied with the AL
calde's decision, appealed to one of the
District Judges who resides near Las
Vegas. He upheld the Alcalde's decision
ana advised the Americans to hold fun
eral services under the auspices of the
Mexican police officials. This was done
and the Americans decently inferred their
unfortunate countrymen, and then re-
turned across the river to Del Rio. They
were informed that seven MeXicans had
been arrested for the murder OF Griner,
and the Alcalde privately assured Wey-
miller that they should all be shot inside
of a month, as the evidence against them
was conclusive. The Alcaldel strongly
condemned the unprovOked attack on
Griner's party and treated Weymiller and
his friends with commemorate decency.
Weymiller was harrifed to find
that Griners body had been ter
ribly mutilated after death. The
throat was cut from ear to ear
neck and breast. None OF the party, who
were old frOntlersmen, had ever seen any,
thing so brutallv savage. The United
States Consul at Piedras Negras has laid
the case before Secretary Bayard. The
feeling over the attack is IN no way abat-
ed on the border. 1t has been learned
that Hewlett Grlner was the third brother
to meet death at the hands of the Next.
cans. Albert Griner was killed at Del
Rio eighteen months ago, and Henry w.
Griner was killen above Del Rio three
years ago. The fourth brother, Jones
GrIner, died a natural death, but the
cousins OF his Mexican widow are respon-
sible Tor this bloody record. Among Tex
ans the Griners were known as peace
makers, and they were not seeking con-
flict. The animOsity of the MeXicans
against the Griners was due to the fact
that they were very successful and rich,
and did business on the American plan,

THE RED.TAPE NUISANCE.
How a Clerk Was Kept From the
Bedside Of His Dying Wife.

bPOSlOe Oh his EfylnS w l1C'
I WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-There was an
illustration in the Treasury Department
yesterday of the extent to which red tape
may be carried. A clerk in the Supervls-
ing Architects Office received word that
his wife was dying. To get excused dur
ing office hours he had to go through the
usual formula, and by the time his appli-
cation for temporary leave had received
the Endorsement of the division CHIEF,
through whose hands 1t must pass, the
nope OF seeing his wife alive had
been destroyed The clerk reached
her bedside minute TOO late. A depart
ment official was asked whether, if the
clerk had broken the rules and left the H.
slant the news was received, common
humanity would not have been excuse
enough. The reply was that 1T would,
but that before the reason for the intrac-
ton of the rules could be brought TO the
proper officials the clerks departure
without leave would have been reported
and his place filled from the crush OF ap-
plicants. He would probably have got
reihstated when al! the facts we're known,
but 1t would have taken some months.
But some OF the mans fellow clerks say
he never would have gotten back.
STATISTICS As TO sHAD.
The following interesting summary of
the propagation and distribution of shad
during 1886 is from forthcoming bulle-
tin of the United States Fish Commission:
The total distribution or snad tor the sea-
son OF 1886 aggregates over 10000, COO. AS
the entire mum Der OF sha1 taken tor mar
ket is something less than 100000, 1t
will be seen that for every shad taken
from the waters this season fer market
fifteen young shad have been artihciallv
hatched and returned. The entire cost OF
production and distribution has been less
than $4,000, and therefore the Young f1sh
have been produced and distribul ed
over the entire United States at the
cost Of about S2l5 tor 100000 or
fOrty-six young fish for each cent OF eX-
penditure. Another interesting tact 10
note is that the entire time up to and in
Guiding 1882 there were produced by arti-
fetal propagation alone 200, 00000 young
shad, while for 1886 alone the total pro-
duction was over 90,O0O,0O0. These facts
indicate that we are certainly getting to
point where the work may be regarded
as profitable from commercial stand
point. The following is summary OF the
shad distributed during the season OF
1886. arranged by river basins:
Tributaries OF Narragansett Bay, 1884
900; tributaries of Long Island Sound,
$4,000 Hudson river, 1912, 900; Della
