Some excitement has been occasioned at 7th
and Z streets southwest for several nights past
by what was taken by the more superstitious
as ghost, and it attracted last evening a
crowd of several hundred people.
Mr. Gatewood lives at the northwest corner
OF the intersection and one of the rear CHM

corner is an electric light and tree interyen-
Ing the shadow OF branch was thrown against
the terra Gotta top in such way that at short
distance the whole could be taken when the
wind swayed the branch for a woman raising
her dress. Last night the crowd became of
such dimensions as to severely effect Mr.. Gate
woods daughter, and he appealed to Lieut..
vernon. who sent officers to the place. The
lieutenant advised painting the terra Gotta a
biick color 30 as not to show the shadow This
would cause some trouble, and finally Mr..
Lakewood and the officers went by ladders
from the top Of the building and with an ak
demolished the ghost, and the excitement was
allayed.

Lumbermen.

holding convention in St. Louis. The Re-
public yesterday sent corps of reporters to
question the delegates as to their preferences
for President. The lumbermen are fine body
of representative citizens of the southern
states. They are nearly every one of them
large employers Of labor, skilled and unskilled,
and as such naturally would have large influence
in politics.
There are about hundred delegates and
seventy of them were questioned. OF these
twenty-eight expressed a desire that Grover
Cleveland should be the nominee of the demo-
cratic party, and unhesitatingy predicted his
election. Seven preferred Campbell Of Ohio.
nearly every one with the proviso that he
should be elected governor. Two were for
Palmer Of Illinois. while only one man spoke
for Hill.
OF the republicans twenty-six preferred
Blaine, two were for Harrison, one for Gresham
and four declined to express a choice. The
Campbell men nearly all wanted Cleveland as q
second choice, their only opposition to him
being OIL the silver question. Five OF the Blaine
men said that il Blaine was not nominated they
would vote for Cleveland as the best man in
either party.

WALTER CRANES STORY.
He Declares That He Did Not Force Miss
Cooper lnao Marriage.


The story told by Mrs. Alice Cooper Crane Of
how she WAS forced to the marriage altar by
her cousin, Walter Crane, in London, has been
told in The STAR, well as the refusal OF the
court to annul the marriage Mr.. Crane, who
is resident of New York city, tells quite .
different story and puts the affair in q wholly
different light. lie says:
The assertion that l married Mics Cooper
for her money is absurd. She is my cousin.
Her mother is my fathers sister. I was per
fectly familiar with her affairs. Besides ii was
not at a mercenary age that met and loved
her.
when my cousin and first met at Pau I
was only eighteen. When We were married I
was just turned twenty. My cousin was then
twen,y-eight. The whole affair was piece Of
youthful folly and infatuation. But the youth
was all on my part as have reason to think
also the infatuation.
Miss Cooper, though a New York girl, had
grown up in the fast society of Pau. Always in
society and in the gayest set. il If hardly prob
able that woman of twenty-eight viii do
things such a young girl might do.
The truth is that Miss Cooper favored my
suit and finally married me because she be-
lieved that was rich and, further. that wouH,
some day fall heir to great estate. Then
could have been, as see it all now, no other
motive.
Nor Is II true that Mrs. Hamilton Miss
Coopers mother and my aunt, opposed the
union. On the contrary, she rather favored it
openly and still more SO secretly.
The marriage was opposed, and violently,
by Mr.. Hamilton and by my ows parents lt
the result of this opposition that the suns
was declared of and left Pau TO travel about
Europe. My cousin and l met clandestineiy,
however. about Europe.
Finally wrote Miss Cooper from Cairo
that would be in London on a certain date on
nv way to the United States She agreed 20
meet me there.
1T was tacitly understood that we should be
married when We met So when nv cousin ar
rived in London We went at once and were
