HAUNTED BY A LIGHT.
Mysterious Sight Witnessed at an
Indians Grave.
Chicago Mail.

InUfan' g Grave.
Chicago Mail.
Along the shore OF Oneida lake there
is an Indians grave where, at times, a
weird and supernatural light makes its
appearance.
1t is described as ball of fire about
the size of a large orange, and sways to
and fro in the air about twenty feet
from the ground, combining its irregular
movements within a space about 100
feet square.
People have attempted to 60 near
enough to solve the mystery, but it
would suddenly disappear before they
could reach it.
A very peculiar story is told by the
neighborS near the spot. They claim
that many years ago the locality was a
part of an Indian reservation.
A man by the name of Belknap fire.
quently dreamed that there was a crock
in the Indian cemetery containing i'm
mense treasures, and that if he was
there at the hour when grave yards
yawned he could secure it. These
dreams were repeated so often that
they had a strong effect, and he went
there with pick and shovel, according
to instructions, but he failed to turn
round three times when he found the
crock, as the dream directed. He was
to pick it up. but was stunned by a
flash of lightning, and the crock disap-
peared. Since that time the spot has
been haunted by the mysterious light.

NO APPEAL TAKEN.
The Chicago & Alton Will Let
Matters Take Their
Course,
But the Officials Declare the
Fine Will Not Be
Paid.
Freight Agents Will Have
Much Important Work to
Handle.
Proposed Conference on Tar
iffs--General Railroad
Information.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Chicago &
Alton road has not appealed from the
decision of Chairman Finley, of the
Western Passenger association, by
which it was ordered to pay penalty
for violation of the agreement. Under
the rules it was allowed five days in
which to take an appeal after the de-
cision was rendered, and the stipulated
time has been permitted to expire with
out any action on the part of the Alton
management. Chairman Finley has
just addressed a formal letter to- the
general manager, reminding him that
the time for appeal has passed and
again requesting him to make report
of all the tickets sold by his company at
less than tariff rates from Kansas City
to st. Louis, and from st. Louis
to Chicago between May II
and June 8. This information
is desired in order that the
chairman, may within ten days. make a
sight draft OH the company for the full
amount of the fine imposed, which in
cludes the value of all these tickets at
full tariff rates, in addition to the sum
of $500 that was arbitrarily fixed by the
decision. President Blackstone and
General Manager Chappell returned to-
day from trip of inspection over the
road, and they reiterate the statement
that the fine will not be paid. They say
also that the Alton has no intention of
Withdrawing from the Western Passen-
ger association, and that if the associa-
ton dissolves it will be by the with
drawa of the other roads. Chairman
Finley will have done his whole duty
according to the terms of the agreement,
when he has notified all the lines in in
terest of the Atoms refusal to pay the
fines imposed upon it. His responsible
ity will end there, and it will then de-
volve upon the association to deal with
the matter as If sees fit,

A DARBY THIEF-CArCaER.
His Remarkable Charms and His
Very Appropriate End.

New York Sun.
Up in the mountains near Asheville
there used to be an old darkey who had
a great reputation both as a thief
catcher and as secreter of thieves as
well. If thief went to him for charm
before the crime was committed or after
don it, providing the loser had not
previously arrived for one, the old
darky would insure safety. On the
other hand. if the old fellow had not
been bought off by the thief, the loser
could get a charm that would capture
the thief and recover the property.
The charm for capturing the thief
consisted of three white hairs from
horses tail, cut to an equal length and
placed simultaneously on hot shovel.
When they curled under the heat they
would point in the direction of the home
of the thief.
The thief who wanted to escape used
black hairs and when they curled ne
fed in the direction indicated, unless
they shrivelled, in which case he re-
NAMED quietly about his usual haunts.
The whites say that the old darby
would seldom manipulate the white
hairs until at least one day after being
Informed of the theft, and that there
were other indications that he used
other than occult powers in finding the
thief.
The western part of the state was a
favorite ground for horse thieves, who
found it easy to run good horses through
the mountain passes into Tennessee, and
1t was chiefly in the catching and pro-
lection of these that old Abraham Dur
bill was employed. Eventually he seems
to have used his powers so much in favor
of the thieves that some horse owners
got eXaSperated beyond endurance, for
he was found one morning hanging by
the neck to the limb of tree, with the
body of Pert Stacy, well known thief,
hanging beside him.

Dire ctors of Union Resolve to Ad-
here to Their Choice.


here to Their Choice.
NEW York, June 5.-The directors
of Union Theological seminary have
met and have declared their position on
the question of the right of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church to
veto the transfer of Prof. Charles A.
Briggs from the chair of Hebrew to the
chair of Biblical theology. The reso-
luton passed at their meeting held this
afternoon is as follows:
Resolved, That the board of directors, after
having taken legal advice and after due con-
slderation. see no reason to change their
views on the subject of DR.. Briggs, and feel
bound, i'll the discharge of their duties under
the charter and constitution of the seminary,
to adhere to the same.
The intent of the veto passed by the
general assembly at its recent sessions
in Detroit was that DR.. Briggs should
cease to be professor in Union semi
nary. The effect of the resolution
given above is that it is the judgment
Of the directors that the veto was
usurpation of powers never given to the
general assembly; and that, since the
veto was illegal. the appointment
stands, and DR.. Briggs will continue as
a professor during the coming year, as
during the past seventeen years.
