A HAUNTED HOUSE.
Apparitions in n Doorway Create Sem
sation in IN Indiana Town.


About four miles to the southwest OF
Wabash, Indians stands little cluster
of houses. The inhabitants are intel
iigent farmers who have retired from
agricultural pursuits, intent on ending
their days in Arcadian simplicity and
quiet. Oue-half mile south on the
Somerset mail route is frame cottage
rapidly falling into decay. The heavy
front door stands ajer on One hinge
sufi emily to reveal a cherries inte-
RIO. crumbling floor and walls.
The nearest dwelling is a quarter of a
mile distant. That the building is the
scene of spectral gatherings everybody
in the town is convinced. =
About TWO weeks ago, while DR..
Watson was driving past at midnight,
his horse suddenly stopped and theu
began to back. CHANGING toward the
old house the doctor was horritied to
observe the figure of man in the
doorway dressed in black. His coat
and vest were thrown open revealing 8
white shirs. The figure swayed back
ward and forward for several moments.
The doctor sat dazed, and then recov-
ering himself applied the whip to his
horse, which sprang forward. The
apparition.
jefferson Brown, an old farmer,
while returning home from neighools
hate in the night, saw q woman i'll the
doorway of the same house and heard
groans. The figure was clad i'll black
and the Dress was partly in front, ex-
posing white under garment. She
appeared to be suspended in mid-air,
with hands uplitted as though in sup
plication. The figure of a boy was
G'so observed on another occasion by
MIR. Brown and two other farmers,
who heard the rafting Of the rotten
floor. So frightened were they all that
they fed without investigating the
matter, and there is no disposition
among the villagers to keep vigil. 1t
is proposed by party from Wabash 10
watch hight after night, and solve the
mystery if possible.

BLOOD BALM Co.. 1t is 4 great pleasure
to us to state to you that your B. b. b,
takes the lead of all blood purifiers in this
country, on account Of TIE cures 1t mas
effected since we have handled it. We mad
a case Of scrofu!a in our Eeighborhood, OF
lon. standing, who had used all patent
medicines which were recommended 10
him; besides this, lie also had several coc,
tors attending him, but everything failed
to effect any good. He grew worse every
day, and had not left his bed for the last
six months We had seen him several
times in our little town, thought 1t has been
more than fifteen months since we last saw
him, and we suppose this was the last time
he was able to come to town, as he lives
about eight miles in the country His
name is Servenka, and we got neighbor
of his to persuade him to try 3. B. 3 and
after using only ONE BOTTLE he left his
bed for the first time in six months.
TO the present time he has used less
than three bottles, and he IS walking
around visiting his friends in the neighbor-
hood He has gained strength and flesh
rapidly All ScrofulouS sores are healing
finely, and You never saw happier man
than he is. Nearly everybody for miles
around has heard of this wonderful cure,
and all who need {. blood remedy call for
the 3. B. B.
We had case of nasal catarrh in our
own family Ca little girl of four years old),
who has been using B. 3. B. for about two
weeks, and already seems to be about well:
We have only three bottles left, and
want you to ship us six dozen bottles.
We take pleasure i'll recommending
B. B. B. as medicine worthy OF the entire
confidence of the public. Its action is
more rapid than any blood remedy we ever
handled LlEDIkE BROS.

THE MONUMENT TO LEE.
Design for the Proposed Memorial OF the
Great Southern General.

Design for the Proposed Memorial of the
Great Southern General.
A correspondent of the american
Register states that distinguished
American sculptor, whose name is
withheld, recently shipped from Rome
model for the proposed equestrian
monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee, TO
be erected in Richmond, Va, and for
which several unsatisfactory competi-
tions have already taken place. The
model in question is in the form of an
exouisitely designed architectural base,
souar. in shape and diversified with
graceful columns in half relief. Rising
from the centre of this is short futed
column or altar piece, so to speak,
placed upon smaller base, and deco
rsted with hevy of beautiful childish
figures supporting circular shields
representing the eleven Southern States
and occupying spaces between them.
The column is surmounted by colos-
sal female figure, typifying the genius
of the South, with one hand resting
upon the plough, while the other is
extended forward as if ready to crown
the warrier whose name she delights
to honor. Projecting from the princi-
pal base is al extension of the same
height and style of architecture, bear
ing upon it the equestrian statue Of
Lee, which at once arrests the atten-
ton of the beholder as q striking and
original conception. The horse and
rider, though in a manner such as only
q man skilled in horsenlanship could
conceive of, seem to divide the honors
with each other in the contrast Of
expression created by the sculptor.
Gen. Lee is shown as sitting erect and
looking intently towards a distant
point of interest, but yet calm and
Strong and self-poised in his conscious
knowledge of the situation. The horse,
on the contrary, while represented as
obedient to his masters will, and
awaiting his signal for action, is step
ping slowly forward, but reaches MS
head aloft and towards the point Of
danger, indicating by his dilated nos
trils and eagerness of eye that he scents
the battle afar of: 1t is potrai, of an
animal in fnll sympathy with his
rider, and yet teeming with excitement
and impatience to participate in the
event about to transpire. The con-
ception Of the whole, it is claimed, is
superb one, full of the lofty dignity of
character BETTING the original, and
has the high artistic quality af express
ing the strong emotion both Of the
rider and his steed without resort to
the too frequent necessity Of phy
action.

Suit TO be Brought by White child's Col

(Frons the Greenrale Ne,os.J
An interesting and remarkable case,
which may come Under the civil rights
laws, has been developed in Gnatt
township, this county. The West
Gnatt High School, few miles be-
low the city, is q fourishing one for
white scholars, taught by =. E. Ewart.
1t is supported partly by individual
subscriptions of white citizens and
partly from the public funds, having j
ten months session, and l. patrunized
by the best people Of that section. LII
the neighborhood there is white
woman married to well-to-do renter
named Smith, who claims to be q
Spaniard, but is regarded and treated
as full blooded negro, having every
appearance Of being one. Before her
marriage to Smith, the woman was q
widow and had . number Of children
who are pure white. These children,
however, regard Smith as their father
and are called by his name. Last
week one of them, a Iboy Of fourteen,
was sent to Mr.. Ewart's school. He
promptly objected to the attendance OF
| the boy, and reported the case to tue
| trustees, j. j. Mackey, John P. Scruggs
| and a. r. Smith. A number of pat
rons of tie school gave notice that il
the Smith boy attended it they would
withdraw their children. On FRIDAY
the trustees met and unanimously de.
! cided to dismiss the boy. The com
| munity .sustains Mr.. Ewart and the
| trustees; but the Smiths are indignant
and declare their purpose to prosecute
The teacher and the trustees i'll the
United States Court under the civil
rights law. But I is difficult to see
| how such prosecution could be had
as the boy was not discrimlnateo
! agaiuS.. because of his race, color OF
previous condition, being full blood
| ed white, and was objected to because
/ Of the social position of kis papers
The case is without precedent so far al
is known.

JAY GOULD AND HIS DETECTIVE.
\ Funny Story About the Millionaire and
How He Travels.
(Fvm tile Nsers md Courier


1t would appear that fam propor-
lion Of Jav Gould's hours of idleness
is spent ii, the fascinating occupation
of stock jobbing. In other words, he
is ALWAYS himself Jay Gould only
spent Il few hours in Charleston, but if
the report be true, he was even thsn
plotting to "unload" to the advantage
of himself and his prospective heirs.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Charleston, says:
"Dispatches were lately sent from
this city representing that he had
changed his plans so far this winter as
to decide to give up Lis Yachting trip
and 90 on an Inspection tour over the
Southern Pacific lines. For the very
reasons that have been indicated al
ready This report was untrue. He
had no thought of making Southern
Pacific tip. The statement that he
had was used only for a peg to hang d
stock iDbbing scheme upon"
The correspondent, however, does
nos 'itcuizc the bi!l'' and leaves The
public in the dark as to the details Of
the ck-jobbing scheme. The Times
correspondent further states that Mr..
Could Oh his trip here drought, be-
sides his family and his doctor, an
other guest, q man Of retiring manner,
who WAS never seen with the excur-
siunists, but who was, for all that, III
Mr.. Gould's estimation, an important
member of the travelling party. This
man of the retiring manner was pri-
vate detective, q doughty, rniddle-aged
fellow Of experience, who draws a
yearly salary out Of Jay Gould's TILL"
This imam of retiring manner" was
not on exhibition in Charleston, at
least when the great multi-millionaire
went abroad in the public places,
wihre, under ordinary circumstances,
Mr.. Gould might be expected TO 60 in
fear and trembling.
The Times discredits the story Of
its correspondent, and ironically says:
GAS for Mr.. Gould's carryinga 4 private
detective on his yacht, that does not
indicate that he goes in fear of his life.
He is in no danger of attack at sea
encept from pirates, and q private de-
tcciivc is poor safeguard against
buccaneer Of the Spanish Main. He
may carry 4 private detective around
as the ancient potentate was ac:us-
toesl to set up q deaths head at din
ner to remind him what his fate might
have been but fer the incompelency of
detectives"
