They Feared BlOOdshed.
From the Binghamton Republican.

From the Binghamton Republican.
A trio OF young men came running
pellmell up State Street little after
midnight this morning with the start
hing intelligence that the Vinegar Fac
tory" was haunted or that some horri-
Bile deed was being committed there.
They averred that groans and subdued
shrieks had been heard as if some one
were In mortal agony, while not a sign
of life appeared about that gloomy
abode.
Accompanied by the reporter the
painting youths ventured back to the
scene of the supposed murder or ghast-
ly revel. The historic old edifce
doomed up dark and forbidding in the
moonlight. Not sound disturbed the
grave-like stiffness of the night. Sud-
denly a low moan was heard.
The trembling quartette felt each indi-
vidual hair stand on end. Then anoth-
er groan-muff1ed at first, ending in a
painful wail-came from somewhere
near the building.
Had a vote been taken just then the
voice of the convention would not
have been for war. It would have
been for retreat. After a whispered
consultation the party decided-provid-
ed that the reporter would go in adj
vance-to explore the mystery. Where
there are groans there must be life, it
was reasoned, and where there is life
there are no ghosts. i.
Cautiously creeping around the build
ing it did not take long to learn the
cause of the disturbance, There lay a
"colored genplum'' on the soft side of
a huge stone snoring as if for prize at
a cake-walk. He can learn the names
of those who disturbed his dreams with
their boots by applying to those who
did it

4uo OOurC OT0erS verdict OF Not Guilty
in the Celebrated Trial.
CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 25.-Judge Shro-
der to-day granted the motion to dismiss
the case against Ives and Staynor, on
trial for the embezzlement of property
Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
Railroad, and directed the jury to return
a verdict of not guilty.
There were two motions pending, one
to rule out certain accounts and books
offered by the prosecution, and the
other to dismiss the case for want of
evidence to establish guilt. The Judge
did not pass upon the first motion, as he
found that the testimony wholly
failed to establish a case of grand
larceny which was one of the counts of
the indictment, and also that it was not
sufficient to make out case of EN-.
bezzlement. Prosecutor Hugh except
ed to the decision and gave notice that
he would appeal to the supreme court
