The Fate of n Man Who Gets Himself
DisIiked.

SpeclalIo the GLOBE.
READING, Pa, July 16.-Naomi station.
a small village four miles below Reading.
was the scene of considerable excitement at
late hour last night. Michael Naylor, a
repairman on the Pennsylvania road took
to drink several months ago and lost his sit
uation. This affected his mind and he was
removed to the hospital few DAYS ago.
Monday night he escaped from the hospital
and, returning home commenced smashing
his furniture and drove his family into the
woods. Nagle, however, was secured and
removed to the hospital. Since then George
McNeary, All employe at the mill, had been
in the habit of visiting the Nagle residence.
This created gossip among the citizens and
last night they decided to rid the commu-
nifty OF his presence. This brought together
about $50 men and boys, principally en-
ployed at Naomi mills, and the leaders dis
guised themselves by
BLACKING THEIR FACES
and putting handkerchiefs on their ewes as
masks. They then proceeded in body to
Mr.. MAYORS residence and knocked at the
door, but there was no response. The win
dows were forced open and several of the
party entered, secured McNeary and forced
him out through the window. The crowd
then seized him, and he was hustled off to
a large tree near by. Here rope was adj
justed around his neck and he was being
about strung up, when he dropped on his
knees and prayed that his life might be
spared. The mob concluded not to hang
him. but We're determined to punish him.
A coat OF tar and feathers was suggested
by one of the leaders. This was agreed to.
and his body was completely covered with
the stuff. After this was gone through
with, he was given twenty-five lashes and
commanded to leave, never to return again
under penalty of death.

TO ARREST 4 GHOST.
A Policeman with a Warrant After
SpecEer.
Snecial to the Globe

Special to the GLOBE.
CHICAGO, July 16.--Mrs. Kinsley of No.
Is South Desplaines street caused Justice
WOoGman to issue warrant to-day for the
arrest of a person whose name is unknown.
The building in which she lives is built on
the spot where disreputable house once
stood in which murder was committed.
Various occupants of the premises all tes-
tify there have been strange sounds and
footsteps in the halls in the dead of
night Some of them, it is said. have even
seen whiterObed Specter slowly walking
down the stairs. On one occasion, when
some one holder than the rest went toward
it, the apparitiOn disappeared and did not
return for several nights Since Mrs. Kins-
ley has occupied the house the ghost has
been less demonstrative than formerly, but
still comes to the door about midnight and
raps for a short time. A watch was
set in the hall to intercept the strange visi-
tor. but on all such occasions it failed to
make its customary call. Thursday night
about IL o'clock the expected sounds were
heard, but this time one of the SONS of Mrs.
KinSley determined to catch the ghost if
possible. Unlocking the door, he rushed
into the hall and saw the specter slowly
descending the stairs. The approach
of the young man was too much for the
ghost, for it made a misstep and fell to the
bottom of the stairs and narrowly escaped
being captured. The boy, however, had a
good look at the ghostly visitor. and thinks
he can recognize him the next time he sees
him. A warrant was therefore taken out
and an officer will guard the place for a few
nights.
