TO OVERTHROW HYPPOLITE
HAITIANS WILL TRY TO BUY A WAR
VESSEL IN FRANCE.

When 1t Appears Off Port au Prince the
Leaders of the Revolution Hope Thai
the People Will Rise Against the op.
pressor-A Proclamation.
NEW YORK, July 24-Haiti has had SC
many revolutions that another one would
not create much interest if it were not fol-
the fact that Hyppolite has attracted the
attention of the world by his bloodthirsty
acts. Haitians who are now in the city say
week, or perhaps not for month
or two, but that it is bound to come.
In fact, they have left their country
so that they may not be present
at the outbreak. They are all prominent
men, profess to be true patriots, and are
possessed of wealth and influence 1t wonld
not be too much to say that they are the
| real leaders of the proposed revolution.
However, they know too well the temper OF
Hyppolite to be within his reach when the
first blow is made, therefore they are travel
ing for their health.
They are going to France, and will sail on
La Bourgogne. A reporter learned, in talk
ing to several of them yesterday, that the
feeling in Haiti is that of sullen subiuga-
tion. The massacre on May 2S and the SUBJ
sequent Punishment of those opposed to
Hyppolite have created deep feeling of re-
sentiment. There are now about 800 Hal
tians in exile. Most of them are in Kings
ton, Jamaica, and others at Colon and St.
Thomas.
Hyppolite did not extirpate all of the
seeds of the revolution by sending these
offenders out of the coutry. Many relatives
remain, and they have taken up the work
of revolution which was dropped BY their
banished kinsmen. 1t is said that the whole
movement has about reached a climax.
That point will be attained when ship
armed and equipped with 400 men sails
into the harbor of Port-au-Prince. Hyp-
polite now has an army of 1000
soldiers, who will remain in his
service while they are paid. There is how
ever, dissensions in the ranks. Many of
the soldiers will be ready to go over to the
other side as soon as the ship makes its ap-
pearance. There is expected to be general
uprising of the populace; Hippolyte will be
killed, and the revolutionists will take pos
session OF the Government. This is the
plan of action of the revolutionary party as
learned in conservation with the Haitians
now in the city.
1t is understood that in the pursuit of
health they will try to secure in France
some vessel with the proper equipment of
guns and small arms, which will sail direct
ly to Kingston, Jamaica. It will take on
board at that port General A. Prophete,
who published proclamation on June 30 to
the people and army of Haiti. The address
says that the delirium of shedding blood has
seized the maddened brain of Hyppolite, and
that it would be unpar enable not to inter
fere and save those who are in danger of
being killed because they cannot be bought.
Prophete proclaims that the time for action
has come. He says that he has been elected
by large majority general in chief of the
revolution by those who have escaped the
executioner, those patriots who have been
torn from their households by Government
al fury.

NURSING THE VITAL SPARK.
Philadelphia Man Being Kept Alive in a.
Marvellous Way.

marV6lOuS
PHILADELPHIA, July 24-An day yes
terday the spark of life was kept alive in
the BODY of Conrad Kellar by artificial res
piration and the physicians in ST. Mary's
Hospital, where the man lay, considered 1t
one of the most remarkable cases on record.
Kellar, who lives in the rear of No. 926 st.
John street, was found at an early hour
yesterday morning by Officer Gallagher,
of the Tenth district, lying in an
unconscious state on the pavement
near his home, and taken to the hospital
There it was found that he was suffering
from laudanum poisoning and restoratlves
were administered, but he lay all day and
up to late hour last evening in comatose
state The physicians saw that their patient
would die if his lungs were allowed to re-
lax, and two nurses were put to work rails
ing and lowering the man s arms as he lay
in his cot All day long the process was
continued
Drs. Comegys and Mcdonald, of the hos
pital, who have the case in hand, said last
evening that they had never before known
of case where patient was kept alive SO
long by that means. Kellar's recovery is a
matter of extreme doubt. AT his home 1T
was learned that on Monday last Kellar had
picked up gripsack and left, after having
had some words with his wife, and that he
had returned on Wednesday evening appa-
rently in better humor than when he left.
That is the last his wife knew of him until
he was found under the influence of lauda-
mum.

MYSTERIOUS RAPPINGS.
A HAUNTED HOUSE SERIOUSLY DIS
TURBS A COMMUNITY.

| Spirits Answer Questions Put by Young
Girl-Crowds of People Visit the Scene
The Residence Has Long Been Deserted
and Empty.
SuNBURY, July 24-The citizens of the
Third ward, and in fact all through the
lower end of the town, are in state of wild
excitement over a ghostly manifestation
that has been noticed in the last three davs.
Wednesday night crowds of people fiocked
to hear for themselves and the excitement
is increasing every moment.
The visitation took place in a rickety
frame building formerly occupied by man
named Mayberry. 1t is only one story and a
half high, and the wind and weather have
long since made great gaps in the roof and
upper walls. Not vestige OF a window
remains, the door is broken in, and
as it stands amid a garden that has
long since been overgrown by a pro-
fusion of rank weeds it is as ghost
ly place as one could imagine. 1t has a
history, too. Once before have there been
queer sounds and rappings heard within its
walls, and the superstitious lad and lassie
as they stroll past it quicken their pace and
gaze in half awe and half curiosity at the
dark, paneless windows that seem to stare
out like huge unearthly eyes. 1t is in this
place, deserted now for nearly year, that
the mysterious sounds are heard.
A few days ago girl by the name of
Tillie Holdings went into the old house and
as she stood looking up at the dark ceiling
she heard very low, but, nevertheless, dis
tinct knock. 1t seemed to come from right
under her feet and she moved aside only to
have the mysterious tapping to move with
her. Then it changed and was heard over
her head Half frightened, yet curious,
the girl went out and told some of her
friends and together they went back to the
old house. Among the party was a bov
named George Culp. They had no sooner
gotten in than the noise was heard again
and it kept shifting about from one place to
another with remarkable rapidity. At last
Culp concluded to talk and see if the rap
ping would continue. He asked if it was
spirit, if so it should knock once. The
party stood breathless for second, then
clear and distinct came one rap. Other
questions were asked, but no answer was
given, and then Tillie Holdings inquired if
it wanted the MaYberries to come back
Two hard raps signifed that it did
Miss Holdings is the same girl to whom
the rappings responded in the house of
William Engleman some years ago and
among many she is supposed to possess
supernatural powers, and is looked on with
great respect and fear by her younger as
sociates.
Similar noises were heard in this house |
some years ago. Rapping began and cons
tinued for some time ana at last ceased with
the ringing of bells and the sound as offs
some one choking The affair is creating a.
great deal of talk and crowds of people go,1
10 the house during the day and evening.

BALMACEDA's STAR ASCENDANT.
The One Drawback to the Success of His
Arms Now Corrected.

Arms Now Corrected.
PANAMA, July 16.-A great deal Of ex-
citement has been caused here this week
by the news from France that the new
Chilean warships had been released. This,
it is pretty generally believed in Chilean
circles here, means the speedy termination
of the war and the triumph of Balmaceda.
He already possesses all the troops and
transports necessary to conduct a victorious
campaign in the north, his trouble hith-
erto having been the want of adequate pro-
lection for his transports, which would have
been promptly blown out of the water by
the heavy Congressional ships.
Once the large and well equipped army of
the Dictator is thrown upon Congressional
soil, it must end the struggle. 1t is under
stood that the Congressionalists are actively
engaged in an endeavor to pull themselves
together and try to strike decisive blow
ere the naval reinforcements enable Balma-
ceda to turn the tables on them. That they
will be able to do this is doubted.

A petition has recently been circulated
in his behalf, praying for the Communication

attached the names of 100 prominent men of
this locality. This, together with the facts
that an old man lived with Williamson at

officers are extremely reticent, gives the
color of truth to the statement that he will
have chance for life.
