| Special to the GIobe.
DULUTH, March 19.-Still the ghost OF
the hill manifests itself, notwithstand-
ing the publicity which the alleged
nightly appearances get in the news
papers. The Fourth street house will
be deserted as soon as the people now
occupying it can get a desirable tene-
ment elsewhere. Two boarders who
occupied room over the piazza, where
the ghost is said to walk nightly, have
left the room, and other boarderS are
seeking new quarters. The ghost is
said to repeat the performance OF its
prototype in life; that is, it comes out
every night, gets rope, Suspends itself
to the railing and hangs itself, just the
same as it did in life last fall. Readers
of the GLOBE are familiar with
the facts in the case of suicide
at the house last fall, and people about
the house not only recognize the foot
fall of the ghost, but recognize the
form, and some more imaginative peO-
Semble the struggles of the dying man.
TASCOTT IN DULUTH.
Officers who have given the matter
considerable attention, lately on account
of the size of the reward, do not hest.
tate to say that Tascott, the alleged
murderer of Millionaire Smell, of Chi
cago. was in Duluth in the early part of
/ March. 1t was thought that Tascott
was in st. Paul about Feb. II. Since
reading descriptions of Tasc0tt, Messrs.
Belle & Miller, of the Ideal coffee house,
of this city, say they have no doubt that
TaScott, OF some one resembling him
very much, took his meals at their res
taurant for several days. He is
not in the city now, and Off
GERS seem so far unable to trace
him. While here he roomed
about Second avenue west. Messrs.
Belle & Miller describe his front teeth,
gold-filled, very infinitely; his clothes,
his habit of talking great deal, his
general appearance, and it TALES eX-
actly with the published description of
TaScott.
LOST IN THE SHUTTLE.
At the common council meeting to-
night the principal subject of discussion
was terminal railway, about which
Duluth people have heard so much
| lately. Mayor Sutphin asked several
| times what had become of the terminal
railway ordinance. The last time in
response to the direct inquiry, President
Kendall said: 81 think it was lost in
| the shuttle" Then said an alderman:
"Let's have new deal" A resolution
was finally reported inStructing the
city clerk to get copies Of the terminal
railway ordinances i'll other cities
in order to compare notes.
The city attorney reported that he had
| investigated the subject considerably
and favored the idea. III. w. Pearson
resigned as member Of the board OF fire
commissioners, and ex-Ald. Daugherty
was appointed to the position. Various
petitions on streets were received and
property owners of First street obliged
to the paving of that street this year.
Aid. Seville, SwanStrOm and London
were made a committee on opening Rail-
road street. A new building for the de-
partment, 5Ox115, on East Superior
Street, was recommended. The appoint
ment of A. B. Fuller as city engineer
was reported.
SUCCESSFUL GARDENING.
A farmer in section 26-4S-14, writes
that he raised 800 bushels of potatoes on
four and oue-half acres of land, and sold
the potatoes at 81 a buShel in Duluth;
he also raised five bushels of onions on
twenty feet square of soil; 900 heads of
cabbage on half an acre; fine carrots,
squash, radishes and other vegetables,
for all of which he had more than sat
isfactory market in Duluth. $50 thou
and do likewise" he says, and unsuc
cessful farmers in other less favored
parts would do we'll to heed the advice.
