Griffin sprained His Ankle.

1t is reported that Johnny Griffin
sprained his ankle yesterday while train
ing and had to be carried to his quarters
at Bath Beach, and later was removed to
New York to have the injury attended to.
The report has it that he will be all right
in a day or two. There is q strong sus-
pieion, however, that the report
was sent out for the purpose
of influencing betting. Griffin and Lynch
will meet rexC Sunday night at Coney
Island. Griffin is a strong %favorite and
the odds have been 10 to 6 or z. A
sprained ankle will send Lynch's stock up
aud Grifin's ad mirers will get better
odos. 1t is not a new dodge to influence
betting. 1t 1t is true that Griffin has met
with an accident, his chancs OF winning
will be slim as Lynch is a game and
clever fighter. Griffin Is the only man
who defeated Jimmy Larkins of this city.

al other persons for Mr. Thomas
Wyly, building negro cabins on the
Tennessee River just below what
was then known as Reynoldsburg,
the county seat of Benton and
Humphreys. The stage had stop

and it was possible that Price had
seen and recognized the officers.
Add Hilliard, now living at Hunt
ingdon, consented to accompany
them, and at the ferry Hilliard and
the deputies crossed over and went
down opposite the island on foot,
while Jarkeson, the sheriff, and
Vickers went down on the north
side in a "dug-out." Price discov-
cred and recognized them before
they reached the island and fled to
his canoe and shot across to the
north bank, only to run into the
arms Of Hilliard and the deputy
After a terrible struggle, in which
Hilliard lost an eye, the prisoner
was secured.

"oH, GOD! THIS is TERRIBLE"
A MURDERER's VICTIM HAUNTs HIM.
a Thrilling Ghost Story from our Neigh
Dor Town, Huntingdon.

. 49, - ~ NN-- ~NN-
ing himself Price Alexander, fine
looking, about forty years old, well
dressed, passably educated, made
disappearance in Huntingdon, Car
roll County, Tenn, seeking employ
ment as carpenter. He did not
profess to be a fine mechanic, but
was qualified to do ordinary work
an that line.
His manners We're SO easy and |
disposition so obliging that he ex-
cited no opposition among the To-
cal workingmen, who extended to
him every assistance in their power. |
He had not been in the communi-
ty long before'a pecuHarity wasnot-
ed by his intimate acquaintance.
Whenever working alone, or when
left 10y himself for any length of
time, he manifested a restlessness
that made his employment some
what unsatisfactory. He would
stop work every few moments and
glance furtively to the right, left,
and rear as if he apprehended the
approach Of an enemy. And again,
when he had a job thatnecessitated
his being alone, he invariably pro-
wided himself with a good supply of
whisky, and not infrequently be-
came bowling" drunk before it
was completed.
On the contrary, when he was at
work with others, he was strictly
temperate and was never known to
taste a.drop.
When he secured board and lodg-
ing he invariably stipulated that he
was to occupy a room with some
4one, generally preferring some Of
the children of the family.
He remained in the county about
one year, when, aftera short court
ship, he married most estimable
widow by the name Of Carpenter,
living four OF five miles south of
Huntingdon, and from all appear
:ances it was a most happy union.
His wife looked after her domestic
affairs, and conducted their little
farm, assistedby Alexander at those
times when he was not employed at
his trade.
Among the carpenters with whom
he worked was man named Rufus
Vickers, for whom he formed a very
warm attachment. 1t was Vickers
who introduced him to his wife, who
had discovered his dread Of being
alone, and as true friend had en-
.couraged the match to promote his
happiness.
The first incident that excited
Nickers's attention and led him tC
believe that there was some mys-
terry connected with Alexander's
life occurred as follows:
They had made a contract *
build house for old Uncle Sammy
Coleman, and Alexander was to g
to Vickers' clearinghouse and re.
main during the night and boil
start early the next morning togeth
,er. Alexander reached the house
about the time the family were re
string and was shown to Vickers
room. The latter was not in, hav
ing gone to a neighbor's, severa
miles distant, upon business. Al
.exander retired During the nigh
Vickers returned, and in order no
to awaken the family crept quietl.
to his room. Raising the latcl
noiselessly and opening the doc
gently, he was surprised to hear
subdued conversation in his room
One of the voices was strange an
its tone was so low that he coul
not catch the words; the other wa
Alexander's, and heard him say i
a half graan

"Oh. God! this is terrible! VIII

The other said: "The sands I'M
nay hour-glass were nearly run; you
showed me emo" The last words
were too indistinct to be heard at
the door.
Alexander made some reply to
this; what it was Vickers failed to
catch, but, making a noise, the con-
versation as suddenly ceased. He
went to the fireplace and made up
a light, found the lamp and liti it.
He was astonished to find Alex
ander alone in the room, sitting up
right in bed, with an expression Of
most intense alarm on his counte-
nance. His eyes were wide open
and the pupils expanded.
When Yickers spoke to him he
lay back in the bed and his face
assumed its wonted expression.
After some little effort Vickers
awakened him and asked:
"Where is your partner?"
"Who?"
'The person | heard you talking
with"
#" I have been talking to no one,
but I have had terrible night
mare
Vickers did notpress the subject,
butsoon retired, and the matter was
in a measure forgotten. Several
months after this occurred Vickers
and Alexander we're both employed
by Ferdinando Saunders, of Ben
ton County, to build some cheap
negro houses for him. The con-
tract necessitated the getting out of
several thousand cypress shingles,
-and the two pitched their tents in a
dense cypress swamp and went to
work A few days elapsed when il
became necessary for Vickers to sc
to Camden, distance of IL miles
after supplies. He was unavoida-
bly, detained, and did not return
until sometime after midnight, and
was surprised to find the tent de.
serted. Knowing Alexander's pc.
culiarity about being left alone, he
concluded that he had gone to {
neighbor's, a few miles distant, ant
being fatigued, rolled himself up il
his blanket and tried to sleep, bu
either on account of his wearines
and lonesomeness, he could not, anC
rolled and tossed about. How Ions
this continued he could not tell.
Suddenly he became aware tha
| there was some one on the outsid

7 listening intently, he located tn
5 voices near a large log about twent.

A low, firmvoice replied: A" Yes
