1t Has Been Seen on Different Occasions
and is Causing Much Talk.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
SCoTTDALE. October 11.-What is said
to be haunted house is situated at Ander-
sonville, half mile west Of this place.
The house is said to be visited by the ghost
of its former owner and for that reason a
family has just vacated it. The house has
been visited every night this week by many
persons desirous OF seeing the ghost. They
say that IN watching the residence about II
o'clock at night you will see curious light
CLEAN forth from the upstairs window.
Mrs. William Mier who occupied the
house until few weeks ago and vacated it
on account of the fear of the supposed ghost,
relates thrilling story of her adventure.
She says that about a week ago, late at
night she went upstairs and was Mortified to
see the face and hands of what she
thought greatly resembled human being.
1t frightened her to such an extent that she
tainted. When she related her story to
her husband, he laughed her to
scorn, but few days ago she
induced him to go upstairs at stated hour
and see if he could see the supernatural be-
ing. He complied with her request and was
amazed to witness the same race and hands
which had every indication of a human
being. The supposed ghost resembIed an
old man, and as the house was owned and
occupied by Jacob Anderson, who died a
few years since, great many people thought
it was probably his ghost. Accordingly,
Mrs. Mier, who is stranger in this
place, visited Mrs. John Coils
borough, vino is daughter of the late
Jacob Anderson. An album was given her
containing Anderson's photograph, which
she quickly recognized on sight. Mrs
Mier never saw Anderson, and the moment
she looked at his picture she recognized il
as being an exact likeness of the face she
saw in the old Anderson property.
People here don't take much stock in
spook business, but Mrs. Mier's and other
persons stories, who are accredited with
seeing the one spoken OF, is certainly in
creasing the belief in this vicinity that
there are such visitations. Mrs. Mier Is an
intelligent lady.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
ERIE, October 1.-THE Republicans of
this place were addressed this evening by
Hon. Marriott Brosius and ]. H. Lenhart,
Esq, OF Philadelphia. Hon. S. M. Brain
ard presided at the meeting. Mr.. Brosius
reviewed the work of the present Congress,
spoke of protection as being one of the car
dinal principles of the Republican party.
He said the Republican nominee for Gov.
ernor was not the choice of any one man,
But that he had been nominated after a
heated campaign, after which the opposing
candidates had Joined in the support Of
their party nominee. This, he said, was
positive indication that the nomination of
Delamater was a fair and square selection of
the party convention.
The Democratic nomination, he said, was
a cut and dried affair. because the party had
but one man who rose to the dignity Of an
aspirant for that position.

May Ensue Along the River Mines on the
Dead Work Scale.
Secretary James Boyd, of the United
Mine Workers organization, said last night
that erroreous reports were being circulated
regarding the strike of miners in the Valley.
In the Acme and Allen mines in the Fourth
pool, $50 men were on strike for an advance
of 6 cents per ton, to bring the
price up to the Columbus standard.
They also wanted payment for dead work
according to scale. A certain price is fixed
for day veins and spars, and turning of
rooms are fixed at 50 so. Entries are driven
at prices arranged between the operator
and his employees. Railroad miners pay 81
a yard for entries.
Blyth's men are at work at 66 cents, and
are paid for dead work.
Mr.. Boyd had conference Yesterday
with President John B. Rae, when it was
decided that the men on strike should
continue out The strike is legal. Both
District President Mclaughlin and Secre-
tary Boyd called on the leading operators
lately, requesting conference on the dead
work scale, but they all refused. AS result
the question of going out for the point will
be discussed by the Executive Board at
Columbus next week, and general strike
of all the river miners may be ordered.

Deliberate Murder.

first supposed to be shocking accident, but
now is believed to have been a murder,
occurred at Orrvillelast night. Solom Boyds-
ton, Coroner of Wayne county, arrested John

switching engine passed, and Bovdston and
his prisoner were seen to fall before the
locomotive. The former was horribly crushed
and mutilated, being instantly killed, while

firm the belief that Boydston was pushed
before the engine by one of Sweeney,s pals.
The officer clung to the prisoner and dragged
him under the wheels Several persons
have been arrested on suspicion.

at Clarion. Special efforts were made
to secure big turnouts, free excursion trains
being run and banner offered to the town
ship sending the largest delegation. The
result was rather discouraging. The princi-
