Superstition in the Maine Wilderness.
 Strange tales have come from the sourdnaheunk region this season in re- gard to Jack Reeds depot-camp on the road leading to Strickland's mountain, The camp is built over the grave of a man who was killed in some unknown way, and the woodsmen say the place is haunted. At any rate, on every moonlight night in winter a listener standing outside the camp can hear the sound of rolling stones that apparently are grating grinding. rattling, plunk- ing over each other, as though sliding down a steep bank Diligent search has been made flor the source of this strange noise, but so far no one has solved the mystery. Old lumbermen remember that the camp has been con- sidered to be haunted for many years, and the sound of the rolling stones has been heard on many a moonlight night in the past. Many lumbermen who are on their way into the Sourdnaheunk re- zion prefer to push by the depot-camp and take a night tramp rather than sleep over that grave and hear those grinding stones t Lewiston Journal.

Ames, in one of which Ames, a blunt, outspoken man, declared that he had placed the stock with influential gen. tlemen (naming several congressman "where 1t would do the most good !" Press and public eagerly took up this phrase. Soon it was in every mouth, all placing upon it the worst oonstruc- tion which the words could bear The scandal ran through the country like wild-hre, the allegations being very generally believed, as they probably are still.
 But we know that they comprised partly gross fabrications and partly gross congregations. Mr. Ames' mo- tive was laudable-the completion of a great national work, which has long since paid the country many times its cost. He knew that the Pacific railway had bitter enemies in congress and out side, most of them not public-spirited, but the blackmailer servants of Durant, who stood ready, should opportunity of- fer, to work it's ruin. He wished to be fortified His method certainly carried him to the verge of propriety, and per- haps beyond; but, everything consid- cred, the evidence shows little ground for the peculiar execration visited upon him. The Poland committee of the house, reporting on February IS, 1873, declared that Ames had acted with sin tent to influence the votes of members" In the sense that he sought to interest men in the enterprise and to prevent them from sacrificing it through apathy or spite, this was probably true. That it was true in any other sense is at least not proved. From 8 History of the Last Quarter-Century in the United States" by Pres. E. Benjamin Andrews in the April Scribner.

A MAN FROM MAHANOY PLANE WITH
A THREE-PLY NAME GETS INTO
TROUBLE
A Pleasing Gathering at Mr.. and Mrs,
S. A. Beddall's Residence Last Even
ing-Celebrated the Silver Ami
verSary of their Marriage.

George Daniel Bobb is a resident OF
Mahanoy Plane. He paid visit to town
and made frequent visits to cafes, which
resulted in an accumulation of more
intoxicants than George Daniel could
carry without tiring his Judgment. When
passing the barber shop that is located
under the Farmers hotel he imagined that
somebody shouted at and insulted him.
George Daniel descended the stairway
leading to the shop, drew a loaded revolver
from his right hip pocket and pointed the
muzzle at the window in the door, mutter-
ing that he intended to shoot or kill
somebody. A young man who wa
about to leave the shop and found him
self confronted by the revolver, fell back
badly shocked with fright Bobb didn't
shoot, however. He seemed to be debat.
ing whether, or not, be should pull the
| trigger when two young men from the
shop pounced upon him and confsoated
the revolver. Bobb was then turned over
to Policeman Thomas Lee.
When before Justice Williams Bobb
behaved in a very eccentric manner. He
declared he was George Daniel Bobb, of
Mahanoy Plane, and that he had forgotten
more law than all the justices and police
Of Shenandoah ever knew. Notwithstand
ing four witnesses appeared against him,
/ he denied that he used or had a revolver
and said all the witnesses lied, but when
/ Justice Williams remarked that as there
was no claimant for the revolver in ques'
tion he would keep it for his own use,
Bobb made. a very vigorous protest.
| While considerably under the influence of
drink Bobb seemed to retain sufficient
intelligence to be technical and to some
pointed questions he took exception
Sometimes he would say that is my
business" and at others, II overrule your
question" He made the justice i'm
patient and $500 bail was demanded
Bobb then turned to swearing and other
wise offending the justice and the amount
of the bail was increased to S400. Thi

A Miner Probably Injured Fatally
in the EllengOwan Mine
Today.
HURT BY A BLAST OF ROCK.
THE VICTIM WAS LEANING AGAINST
THE MATERIAL WHEN THE CHARGE
WAS EXPLODED.
IURT BY A BLAST OF ROCK.
His Right Eye Blown Out, Left Hand
Shattered and a Compound Frac-
ture of the Skull Sustained.
How ii Happened.

A sad accident occurred in one of the
morning by which Lithuanian miner
of town named Charles Nork sustained
injuries that will probably result fatally.
Nork and his brother, Simon, and Joe
Kalatis were blasting rock in the slope
to "clean up'' the place and had prepared
a shot. After waiting while for the
blast to take place Charles Nork went to
the prepared hole to reignite the squib,
supposing the light given it had spent
itself. Nork rested his left hand against
the rock and put his right forward to
light the squib. At the same moment, and
before he could apply the light, the blast
took place. the squib having held fire. The
effect was terrible. Nork was thrown
back several feet with the debris and was
picked up in a terrible condition. His
right eye was blown out, the left hand
hung in shreds from the wrist, and there
was compound fracture of the skull.
The injured man was carried out of the
mine and conveyed by ambulance to the
Lehigh Valley depot in town, where he
received attendance from DIR. Hamilton,
who is the resident surgeon for the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company. The doctor
said the victims chances for recovery
were very few.
Notwithstanding the severe nature of
his injuries Nork retained consciousness.
He suffered intensely and his means and
cries were so pitiful that they moved
many people at the depot to tears. The
victim was sent to the Miners Hospital
| by train.
Nork resides on East Oak street with
his wife and young child. He is sonin
law of Mrs. Yodkois, who keeps the hotel
near the Lehigh depot. He is spoken Of
as very respectable and industrious MAI
and is evidently very popular with thu
better class of Lithuanian people of tn,
town.
