IN THE HOUSE.
Representative Watson Denounces
a Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-There
was lively time in the house yes
terday when Watson, the leader of
the peoples party, arose to a ques-
tiOn of privilege, and denounced the
correspondent Of the Atlanta Con-
stitution for accusing him of inn
proper motives in voting with the
Republicans In the Craig-Stewart
election case. The dispatch In ques-
ton stated Watson had voted so be-
cause he expected financial aid from
the Republicans In his next race for
congress. The correspondent In
question is clerk to Speaker Crisp.
Watson denounced the article In un
measured terms. He said 1t was
false, and added:
"The speaker of the house knows
II TO he false; the man who wrote 1t
knows IL to be false, as does every
member of the house. Ever since /
have been here the clerk of the
speaker has thought 1t his duty to
deride me, ridicule and misrepresent
me. In the article which j have
sent to the speakers desk the climax
is reached. The time when silence
was prudent and good policy is past;
the time when any man, be he ever
SO patient, would feel compelled to
make u denial and a denunclation
has come, and, Mr.. Speaker, / de-
nounce that insinuation, cowardly
az II Is, rs base and infamous false
hood.p
The matter was then dropped and
the house went into committee oI
the whole on the District of Column
bia bill. The unfinished section war
considered without amendment,and
the committee arose, reported to the
house and the bill was passed.

Unoarthly Noises and Awful
Sounds Were Heard.

NNNtAAAA' " 49,
PETERBOROUGH MIMI, March 4.
The people Of this place are greatly
disturbed over q haunted house,
which is said to be In the heart Of
the city. Some months ago man
named Howard rented house on
the principal street Of the town for
q dwelling. 1t was small frame
house, and had been built eight or
ten years ago, and had been cot
stantly occupied. Ever since going
into the house they had been sub
lected to the most extraordinary ex-
periences, and at last became so
terrified at what they heard that
they gave up the house. For some
time they supposed they were the
victims Of practical jokers, but all
attempts tn catch them failed, and
even the neighbors, who were called
in to help discover the cause Of the
strange noises, were unable to find
what was wrong. While the in-
mates were In bed an invisible hand
would jerk the bedclothes from
them, and then the doors would
siam and heavy steps be heard going
across the floor, but all efforts to find
whence proceeded the noises were
unavalllng. On one occasion q door
was broken while the whole family
were sitting in the room. The m 1st
terrifying manifesiions were the un-
earthly noises which accompanied
them. These noises varied from the
sound made by the crashing of a
table full of dishes to that which
would be made by a wall failing
down In a room. Notwithstanding
the noises, there was never anything
disturbed in the house. The mani
festations were almost invaribly
preceded by loud humming sound
which gradually became louder till
ii eliminated in an awful crashing
and rumbhng, which made the hair
of the listeners stand on end. Not
less than fifteen people are ready to
swear that they have heard all of
these sounds, and that they are con-
yinced that the place Is haunted.

Still in Dangerous Condition
The Crisis VIII Come Today.
WASHINGTON, March A. . At mid
night Mr.. Springor's condition was
unchanged. That II is no worse
gives renewed hope to his friends,
the nature OF the malady being such
that every hour In which he sue
ceeds In battling away death means
that he is gaining over the disease.
The attendant physicians believe
that II no change for the worse
takes place before today noon, there
will be q reason to- hope for his re.
covery. The inability TO sleep and
the nervous desire of the patient to
talk to anyone within reach are re-
garded as but the indications of the
harassed and restless condition Of his
brain, and the physicians now find
in this inability to take repose the
greater menace TO his life. So long
as the sick man can converse with
those around he Is perfectly
conscious and coherent In his speech,
but so soon as the conversation dies
out or he Is enjolned to silence he
rapidly drifts Into delirium, talking
at random Of pending legislation IN
the house,
