mouths Of rivers. where the conflicting
forces of current and tide deposit on the

carbon and other unWholesonle things
that are borne toward the sea on the

his not very fastitlious appetite to the
movement of the tides. All animals that

1t is even said that tlocks Of these birds
will hover for days and nights over Il
horse or COW that is on it's last legs. Il
northerner was driven out Of southern
Georgia last winter 10y some one telling
him that the buZZurds were leginnng to
keep an eye ON him. Last summer the
sheriff of 4 county in Florida disappeared
in the woods after having loaded up II big
revolver, and told his wife he was going
to shoot himself. Some little effort was
made to learn whether he had kept his
promise, but after Il day of searching i'll

down in the shade OF their houses and
said they would wait three days. when
the buzzartls would find him. and then
they would find the b,zzsrtls.

does he never strike II creature till 1t il

numbered from up TO 1000. With them
the contractor was paid. lie paid his work

afternoon Mrs. Sweetland and Mrs. Rose
OF Housewife went to Franklin, and the
former lady made information before
Squire Connolly against o. Gregor for
extreme cruelty 10 his wife, Emeline. The
stories told by the ladies. as it was repeated
to the writer, was one Of revolving cruelty,
and is said to have been known In a general
way for years. but the details were not
made public until yesterday. Mr.. GregOr's
house Is the old mill house on PithOle creek,
between PithOle village and OleOpOlIs.
Here he has kept his wife for years,
while he himself has lived with his
parents at Plumer. He kept a flock
OF sheep at the old mill house and
his wife is represented to have been no
better treated than the stock. If as well.
When GregOr would 20 10 the place TO
feed his stock. he would feed his wife on
corn bread and water. and when he did not
90 she would, in her hunger, eat the bran
and chop of which the sheep were fed.
The woman had no clothing or recovering but
an old buffalo robe. from which nearly all
the hair had been worn, and had nothing
but a straw bed On cold nights, TO keep
from freezing. she would sleep among the
sheen. The woman was taken tO the

An Attempt 30 Drag N GIRL from the
Altar.
Special to the Globe.


READING. Pa, Feb. 25.-For the last
two weeks revival meetings have been con-
Quoted in the chapel of the Evangelical as
sociatiOn at Temple. a small village about
six miles from Reading. The meetings are
conducted by Rev. Ulysses Grant Click, a
student of the Schuylkili seminary. and are
very largely attended. Last night the
crowd was thrown into the greatest excite
ment when two of the relatives Of a young
lady named Lena Myers, who was kneeling
AT the altar, made a rush through the crowd
and attempted to drag her away, not wish
ing her 10 join the Evangelical association.
When they reached the altar they were
EIet with the opposition of the male
members of the congregation, who soon
compelled them to retreat 4 second at
tempt was made, and one of the girls sis
ters seized her by the arm and attempted to
pull her away. More force was then ap-
piled. and the disturbers of the meeting
were hurled back into the crowd. About
this time all were upon their feet, and
some mounted the benches in order to see
what was tTanspiring. The attempt 10
take the penitent girl away proved unavail-
ing. and some of the party threatened the
intruders with severe punishment if they
again attempted To present tine girl from
seeking religion according 10 her own con-
victiOnS. The relatives of Lena tried to
obtain the assistance of the village con-
stable, but that official declined 10 inter-

miles around. Miss Myers was again at the

HAUNTED HOUSE.
The Strange Story Told by Connect
lieut. Villagers.

Cpctld 10
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Feb. 25.-The res
idents of KillingwOrth, quiet town on the
sound, are very much exercised over a
haunted house. On a lonely road, near the
center of the town, stands an old house of
peculiar construction. IL was i'm this man
sion that decade ago, Mrs. Horace Hig-
gins cut the throats OF her three children
while they were asleep. They were buried
in the village churchyard, and. although the
other graves there are covered i'm summer
with an abundant growth OF grass. not n
blade ever grows on the graves of the chill
dren. Their mother was adjudged in
sane. and confined i'm room over
looking the graves, and every night
until she died she would stand at the win
dow gazing on the clock in the church
tower near by, moaning and craving pardon
for her crimes. For many years the house
had the reputation of being haunted and il
almost continuously remained tenantleSs
until last summer, when the Ray family of
Boston took il as a summer residence. The
first night they slept there the two tenants
were nearly scared to death by the apDari-
tiOn of 4 woman in white standing at their
bedroom window. Loud and unearthly
noises echoed through the house. The
next night Mr.. and Mrs. Ray say they saw
the apparitiOn, and they promptly gave up
the house. Recently only these facts were
learned by the villagers, and since then
several weird sights have, il is said, been
seen in the old mansion.
