Ter did not have equal means Of knowledge
himself and when he sold him house which
he knew no one would live in on account of its
reputation, and concealed from him this fact,
he committed fraud upon him, and justice
requires that the decree Of the court should
be so modified that these defendants should
account to the plaintiff for the sum Of $500 and
interest from the 18th day Of January, 1882.
The suppression of the truth may be equiva-
lent to express false representation, and a
fraud is committed by one person inducing an
other to enter into contract by the conceal
ment of material facts which are peculiarly
within his own knowledge.
In this case, whether any one believes in
ghosts or not, the fact remains that the dwell
ing house on this farm is reported to be
haunted, and, in consequence of its reputation,
it is difficult to sell or lease it.
The aggregate occupancy Of the place
since 1882 has been less than two years, di
vided among a dozen tenants. The chief
business of the regnant ghost seems to be
to warn all female residents of the house
against maltreatment by their husbands,
either past, present or prospective. Said
the mother of the deceased wife recently;
81 have never visited the house since my
daughters death. Whatever may be as.
signed as the cause of the trouble, trust
my daughter is beyond the trying scenes
which she there endured. | believe her
spirit will rise in judgment some day, if it
has not already"
Because of dream a stock company has
been organized in Nova Scotia to search
for pirate treasure supposed to be buried
at Oak island, Chester bay. One night
two ghosts called on young Mr.. johnson,
of Belmont, and compelled him to follow
them. They took him to Oak island and
showed him some bones, and then huge
boxes and sacks filed with gold and silver.
All this the spectral visitors gave him, the
only condition being that share should
go to the Catholic church. One of the
spooks said he had been a captain, and
that the other had been his mate. Asked
if he was Kidd, he replied:
'No, am Red Beard, once the terror of
the Atlantic ocean. When we captured
ship we did not Immediately put the crew
to death, but brought them to this island
and made them dig these tunnels, pits, etc.
When the work was completed we put
them to death and buried them in one of
the pits One day we saw several men-of-
war heave in sight, and we then knew that
our hiding place was discovered. The
mate and myself set off from the island in
a boat and landed at a distant point. en-
tered a forest and for days wandered
about, until, overcome by hunger and ex-
posture, we died where we showed you the
bones.n

other hand | have the testimony of two
reputable young men who claim that had
it not been for warnings that came to
them while asleep they now would be num-
bered among those who were. Here is their
story.
Israel Ashmun was waiter in Peter
sons restaurant in Park place, near Green
witch street. Joel Wilson worked in lith-
ographing establishment on an upper floor
of the same structure, which was known
as the Taylor building. The two were well
acquainted One noon Wilson seated him
self at table in the restaurant and Ash
nun came to take his order Almost
simultaneously they remarked:
81 dreamed about you last night"
Details followed, and it seemed that each
had seen the other carried mangled and
bleeding from pile of burning ruins Both
are men of intelligence, but they decided
to consider the visions as warnings The
waiter quit his place that night and the
photographer gave notice and severed his
connection with the Taylor building firm
at the end of the week. A fortnight after
ward the structure fell, the flames burst
out in hideous volumes, and sixty-two
human beings met death by crushing or
cremation.
Considering the outcome, Wilson and
Ashmun may be congratulated on taking
what they term "a tip from the dead"
The question naturally arises, Why didn't

GLADsTONE'S SON.
The Young Man Writes a Warm
Letter to America

Letter to America.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. IL. During the heat
of the Irish elections in December last,
DR.. P. S.O'ReillY, of this city, addressed
a letter Of encouragement to Hon. w.
E. Gladstone, telling him of the feeling
of Instantaneous in this city on the
Irish question. and promising MI.
Gladstone moral and material support.
+ A reply has been received from Richard
j. Gladstone, dated Hawarden, Dec. 4.
Speaking for his father the young man
says:
'.It is most satisfactory to know that
the opinion of a large majority of lead
ing lrishmen of St. Louis remain true
to the policy which nearly five years
ago joined Irish Nationalists and Eli
giish Liberals ina firm and, we trust.
a lasting friendship. You recognize
that on our part we have been in
every particular, large and small,
of 1886. In heavens name why should
the divorce court be allowed to compro-
mise the future of Ireland? British
Liberals have sacrificed much for Ire
land during the past five years. They
have refused to give precedence to any
British questions until Ireland has re-
ceived home rule. All of a sudden Mr..
Parnell turns his back upon us, ignores
his own speeches and declares that we
are guilty of treachery to Ireland. Can
anything be more preposterous? He
himself. if the cnarge be true. has been
leading agent in the treachery. We
who have been true to Ireland, and who
mean to be true to her, ask only that
lrishmen be true us, in order to carry
| through great national settlement of
i the home rule question. Kilkenny has
spoken decisively, and have no doubt
that Ireland will adhere to the solemn
pledges which her representatives gave
us in 1856"

WALL STREET EXCITED.
Large and Nervous Crowds Gath.
er in the Stock Exchange.

New YORK. Jan. 12.-The stock
market was quite active to-day, and fur
nished more excitement than on any
day since the great break in November,
and. while the natural tendency of
prices was upward, there was a natural
reaction toward the close. Considering
the material advance which the market
has had since the first of the year,
which has been practically withouta set
back of any kind, there was wide
spread sentiment that reaction was in
order, and to-day it came, the bulls
seeming rather to favor it than to op-
pose it, probably under the idea that it
would bring in fresh buying and give
increased breadth to the market. The
dealings in the general list, however,
were completely overshadowed by those
in Sugar RefinerieS, which were given
a rise on the completion of the reOrgan-
iZation and prospective payment of the
5 per cent in cash. There was all eX-
tremely large and excited crowd gath
cred in the stock exchange this morn
ing, and at the sound of the gavel a
scene of the widest excitement ensued,
large orders having been placed i'll the

this morning was at "a, while higher
quotations were made on different sides
OF the crowd at the same time. The de-
mand was SO great, however, that S11a
was reached before this demand was
satisfied, and the price then reacted to
IS, where it was maintained for the rest
of the day. In the general list there
was the same taking of profits. which,
in the hejafternoOn, forced the<llst off, and
while there were few specially strong
spots, taS Chicago Gas. Northern Pacific,
Missouri Pacific and Silver certificates,
the grangerS were weak. AtchiSOn and
Rock Island, in particular, and Lacka-
wanna also tailed behind the rest of
the list. The early gains were all
wiped out, though there was squirt in
Chicago Gas in the afternoon On the
rumors of a new bull pool in the stock,
and also of the probable declaration Of
a dividend. A rise of nearly 5 per
cent was scored, but realizations after
ward wiped out the greater portion OF
this Improvement. Silver certificates
were more active than for long time,
and decidedly strong. the advices from
Washington giving encouragement to
those who are hoping for wider use OF
the metal. The general list presented
no special feature whatever, but slowly
sagged off during the afternoon, and the
market finally closed active but heavy

and only slightly changed from the
finals of Saturday. The important
changes are as follows: Chicago Gas is

Who rules in this town ?
Depends on the question
up.
The lamp-chimney Ques-
tion-what sort do you
break !
Whateversort your dealer
deals in.
How, do you think, he
selects his chimneys?
He buys those that cost
him least; he can get the
regular price for them; and
the faster they break the
more he sells. That's how
he reasons.
Tell him you want Mac
beth's pearl top or pearl
glass" tough glass, trans
parent, clear, not foggy, fine,
of right shape and uniform.
Tell him you'll pay him a
nickel more apiece, and that
will cover his extra cost
twice over. Tell him you
don't propose to break any
more. Try your hand at
ruling.
