A Ghost Story.

An interesting ghost story comes
from the neighboring town of Sharps-
burg, in Maryland. One day last
week all aged citizen of that place
died and was buried. Saturday even
ing about dusk, so the story goes, as
his daughters and the housekeeper
were sitting in room at their home
they saw the supposed dead man
standing at the window looking in.
One of the women fellin dead faint,
while the others ran out of the house
screaming The attention of several
men on the street was directed to the
house by the commotion, and it is
said that they too saw the figure at
the window. As they looked it van
ished away into the air. The affair
created considerable excitement, and
Sunday morning the grave was e1-
amined to see if it had been opened.
Nothing had been disturbed, so the
general belief is that it was genuine
ghost The family moved out of the
house early Monday morning.

A Writ of Error Granted in tho Case Of

tfOn Raised.

A Writ of Error Granted in tho Case Of
Fielder and Schwab-Important Ques-
tion Raised.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 7.-Chief-Jus
tice Slope, of the Illinois Supreme
Court, has granted writ of error in the
case of Fielder and Schwab, the i'm
prisoned Anarchists, in order that the
question of the right of the condemned
men to be personally present in court
when the decision of the State Supreme
Court was rendered may be determined.
The granting of the writ is duty de-
volving upon the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the State, and he
does so not because he is convinced the
rulings of the State court are incorrect,
but because he is not prepared to say q
Federal question is not involved, aid
because he desires to relieve the State
court of the odium of standing in the
way of allowing justice to be done.
This question has never before been
raised in the annals of the country, and
hence the action of the United States
Supreme Court will be eagerly awaited.
Should it decide that the right exists
w PIisohois w oo pfeseno Al Cue
State Supreme Court when final judg-
ment is passed, then not only Fielder,
Schwab and Neebe get new trial, but
Spies Parsons, Fischer and Engel ille-
gally suffered the death penalty. and
every inmate of the prisons of the State
whose case has received an affirmative
Judgment in the State court without the
prisoner being present in person has
been illegally imprisoned.

commemorated has but one arm and his:
friends say that the artist has faithfully.
reproduced the celebrated soldier Gen.:
eral Phil Kearney, who fell at the bait
tie Of Chantilly, Va, September 8, 1852.
He had made great reputation as AM
Indian fighter before the civil war com.
menced, and his loss was severely felt
by the Union armies. One of the most
striking figures in the hall is q marble.
statue, heroic size, of James A. Garfield,
contributed by the State of Ohio. At
the base of the artistic representation
statesman is bronze sword lying across
holsters. One of the finest pieces Of
sculpture, however, is contributed by
the State of New York, and represents
Robert Fulton, in sitting posture, with
a model of q steamboat in his hands.
His features seem to be intensely
wrought with thought concerning his
great invention and his eyes are riveted
upon the model before him.
The marble columns which surround
the room are made of Potomac marble,
and are oontributory to the wonder
land portion of the edifice. The guides
Of the Capitol have studied them and dis
covered outlined upon them, by nature,
the faces of some of the distinguished
men Of our country. The wonderful
thing about it is that these faces are
discovered in the natural marble, and
are as unaccountable as the peculiar
ochooc I'll; tho ,.,o IN n m n n tho rro,v,
will show you perfect image of Zen
F. Butler in the column back of tho Full.
ton statue. In another marble column,
near the statue of Garfield, there is the
SENT lance of robed priest, joining q
man and woman in matrimony. There
are also in various portions of the hall
the faces of Blaine, Lincoln, Conkling,
Banks and other celebrities. You may
presume or assume that these faces APP
pear by the aid of lead pencils or other
artificial appliances, but it is not so.
just as the marble was cut in the quar-
ries, rounded and polished, these faces
stand forth, startlingly strange, and
with their presence wholly unaccount-
able.
When you come to Washington you
must see statuary Hall. 1t will be
wise for you to employ Capitol guide,
for you will be unable to see one hum
dredth part of the important things in
the Capitol without their aid; but you
will not need to ask your guide to show
you this wonderful hall. Almost the
first thing shown by the authorized
guides is Statuary Hall. There are many
wonderful things in the Capitol to
strangers, but after you have seen the
Senate and House, the great paintings
in the rotunda, the marble room, the
Presidents room and other gorgeous
things; after your mind has been filled
with Sightseeing and your memory
surcharged with wonderful things to
tell the folks at home; you will find
that you dwell mainly upon the eighth
wonder Of the world, Statuary Hall,
with its echoes, statues, telephone,
marble pictures, and the block where
the great statesman, Adams, fell, after
answering his name, during call Of the
House, "Here," on duty to the very last
day and hour Of his patriotic life.

The secretary Of the Illinois State Board
Of Health Tells All About the Grip
Boston suffered Most Heavily, But Chi
cago Underwent . Disastrous Visitation.
SPRINGFELD, ILL.,, Feb. 7.-Dr. John
A. Rauch, secretary of the State Board
of Health, has issued his quarterly
report and annual summary. DR..
Rauch says the epidemic of So
called influenza was first recognized
in Boston Decem Der II, reaching Chi
cago about December %, and has ex-
tended from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and as far south as Mexico and Central
America, practically spreading over Eu-
opeand large portion of North Amer
lea within ninety days; extending over a
greater area and with greater rapidly
than any epidemic of which there is
record. The secretary expresses the
belief that careful study of the
history of the disease will discover
some communication incident to its
spread.
From the week ending December %
to the week ending February l 1.20s
deaths in Chicago may be attributed to
this malady.
The course of the disease in New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Cincinnati and St. Louis is
followed and compared with Chi
cago, and the report says it is at this
time prevalent Throughout 1lli-
nois. 1t has made it's appearance
at Charleston, S. c., but not at New
Orleans. The per cent. of the increase in
the death rate Of principal cities from
the time the disease manifested itself to
February is given as follows: Bos-
ton. 2.07; Chicago, 1.12; New York, l. 81;
Baltimore, 2.6s; Cincinnati, $50; Wash
ington, .2os; Philadelphia, LOO. A close
estimate of the mortality in the North
ern States from the disease of influenza,
50 far. is given as 10. 600 deaths
