made better BY speaking through the three

The Attendants Terrified ~ the Nightly
Visits Of the Ghost.
The Kings county insane asylum.
In the town of Flatbush, l.. l.. Is the
scene of nightly visits of a ghost.
clad in black and with an annoying
habit OF swishing suddenly upon un.
wary attendants in a certain corridor
after the unusual hour of midnight.
The attendants are wrought up over
it, and the doctors even say some
thing. they can't tell just what. has
happened. says the st. Louis Republic.
All agree that a rustling. swishing
noise. like that made by trailing
skirts. is heard in that corridor at
times in the night. and no one has
been able to tell what causes it. The
other night one of the nurses. Mrs.
Mary Geary had occasion to go through
the haunted corridor. Suddenly she
heard that dreadful. unaccountable
noise behind her. She was petrificd
by fear. The next moment the ghost
was upon her and whirled quick as a
fash and peered into her face. Mrs.
Gieary gave one shrek and fell faint
ing on the floor. She has not yet
recovered from her fright sufficiently
to be about her duties.
She is positive that she saw the
ghost. and as the days go by and she
gets calmer. she is able to give more
intelligent accounts of its appearance.
tits very tall and skeleton like. draped
in black. and gives out sensation OF
cold. Except for the matter Of color.
this corresponds very well with the
accepted accounts of the appearance
Of these visitors. The asylum people
became SO wrought up over the mat
ter that DR.. ChanlOn and Mrs. MOllie
Clay sat up one night and watched
for the ghost. They had club and
revolver with them and would have
made it warm for any spOok.
The visitor did not aLncar that
night. The mysterious rustlings.
however. continue. The insane pa
tients in the rooms on either side of
the haunted corridor have been
wrought up to high pitch of excite
ment, and the presence of the noctur-
nal visitor is the signal for an out
break of frenzied fear among them.
1t is next to impossible to persuade
the attendants to pass through the
corridor after nightfall, except under
a strong escort. DR.. Chanlon has
employed two brawny watchmen to
run down the ghost.
