home for period Of twenty years or
more and up to the time of his demise
with the family of John Barre. one of
his tenants, occupying rooms and living
in true bachelor style, separate from the
Barre family,
Bruce had no near relatives, but there
were several distant heirs living in Ohio,
who came on Immediately after receiv-
ing advice of his death, expecting they
would be remembered in the will, for
it was generally supposed that there
was such document left. A thorough
search was made, but no paper of any
kind was ever found, greatly
to the disappointment of expect
ant friends and relatives. The
failure to find the will was,
however, not by any means the worst
disappointment, for neither could they
derive any clew to the $4,000 which the
deceased was known to possess. AS
Bruce had often expressed having no
confidence in banks, it became the pre-
vailing opinion that the money remains
hidden or buried in some secure spot
on one of his numerous farms.
Soon after the return of the Ohio rela-
tives they determined to consult spirit
ual medium in regard to the missing
fortune. This was done, and they were

THE MONEY WAS HIDDEN
within fifteen feet Of the rear door of
the house which was formerly occupied
by Bruce. The relatives were greatly
elated at their prospect of success in
finding the missing money, and came
Oh here not long since for the purpose
of inStituting a vigorous search after
the treasure. Your correspondent was
told by John Barre. who lives in the
house and helped in the search, that
the floors OF several rooms were taken
up, and the earth underneath was dug
up, the ceiling was torn off. and almost
the entire yard dug into, but all without
any success, and the money remains
still hidden.
The most remarkable thing connected
with the affair is that the house is UNI
doubleday haunted. Soon after the
death of Bruce members Of the Barre
family began to be startled at all hours
of the night by mysterious sounds, such
as knockings, footsteps, ETC.. coming
from the apartments of the deceased.
This strange proceeding has continued
to grow worse, and the climax to these
spiritual manifestations was reached
few nights ago, and as related by Mrs.
Barre is as follows:

ceiling and up through it, apparently"
This is the first and last time that the
spiritual form Of the departed Bruce
has been seen. The Bruce family are
of the opinion that the deceased makes
these visits to his old home in search of
his hidden fortune.

Yesterday morning Della Eaton. the
medium" beloved by the ghost OF
departed Athenian Of the ante Christian
era. appeared in the police court to an
swer the charge Of grand larceny in
stealing Mrs. Carey's diamonds.
Maj. j. E. McElrath, of Temescal, was
retained as her counsel. The case was
continued for one week and Miss Della
admitted to bail in the sum of S400, pro-
duced by her mother. Before the court
convened Della's Greek friend paid her
a visit and assured her that he would
remain faithful to her and prove her
innocence.
Miss Della evinces tendency to
throw the entire blame on the Greek.
She says she is completely in his power
at times, and knows not of his doings
on recovering consciousness. She adj
mits in face of evidence that she might
have taken the jewelry, but she has no
recollection of doing so, and if she did
so she was in the power of the Greek.
Capt. Thomas suggested to her the adj
visibility of her insisting that the Greek
return the diamonds. Justice Henshaw
will be called upon to determine how to
deal with this diSembOdied Greek.

As the DAYS of mammoth daily papers ap-
uroached It began % be understood that a
book could be sold for ten or fifteen cents

Lakeside library was established in Chicago,
and is issues OF standard novels at very cheap
prices became widely known and appreciated.
This was followed by the Seaside library, pub

into line with the Franklin Square, aud were

The New York Times says that It is a
curious indication of the means which
may be commanded by the craziest schem-
ers in this country that the three Chicago
Anarchists who were not hanged, still
have the services Of lawyers who are do
ing ali their professional skill can sug-
gest to secure the release Of their clients
from prison. Their last effort is based
on the technical plea that the sentence Of
the court in 1887 was irregular because
the prisoners were not present in person
at the time the sentence was pronounced.
There is not much reason to suppose that
an irregularity of this sort will in the
courts of last resort be allowed to reverse
the action Of lower courts in so impor-
tant case. And even If the plea should
be sustained, ii is not likely to result in
ANYTHING but the resentencing Of the
prisoners.

at Chautauqua this summer, where it caught
such hold that almost everybody, from ore

or two or was occupied in making one The
rings are worn on the little finger, and when
properly made they look very pretty. A
