RETURNED
To Haunt Him, Did the Murdered
Mans Ghost-A Kentucky Mys-

MANS GhOst-A kentucky Mys-
terry.
The assassinatio Of Jim Ross by
Steve Adams in Rockcastle county,
KY, created great deal Of interest at
the time, and is yet frequently dis
cussed on account of the alleged SUI
pernatural persecution of The muir
derer.
The killing occurred shortly after the
close of the war near Broadhead, the
assassin being concealed in the thick
growth Of trees on the edge If a corn
field.
The two men were living on adjoin-
ing farms, and it seems that Adam S
hogs, Of which he owned large num-
Der, frequently broke into Ross's fields
and destroyed his growing crops
When Ross spoke to Adams about 1t
the latter was angered and a violent
quarrel enSued.
After this Ross began a merciless
warfare upon the marauding porkers,
and killed many Of them. Then it was
that Adams determined to kill Ross
at the first opportunity.
One day while Ross was blowing in a
field he was fired upon by Adams. who
was hidden in clump Of trees and
underbrush, and instantly killed. At
his trial for the murder Adams was
acquitted.
Shortly before this he began circu-
1ating strange stories of his persecu-
ton by the spirit of the man he had
murdered
On one occasion he said as he was
riding along the road near the locality
or the killing he was struck a heavy
blow on the back Of the head, which
nearly felled him from his horse When
he looked around to find who inflicted
the blow, he was Mortified to see lin
Ross disappear in the bushes by the
roadside. At another time, dis he was
returning to his home from Broad
mead after night, he was startled to
feel heavy body mount dehind him.
This was followed by a pair of strong
arms encircling him far too cIoselv
Tor comfort. In vain did he look for
his companion. Though he felt the
tlgntenlng grasp and distinctly heard
? heaVy breathing close to his ear.
there was nothing to be SEEN
When near the scene of the murder
ne was struck sharply in the face bv
MS unseen prosecutor, who seemed To
Immediately roll from the horse and
take to the bushes.
Inese and many more tales Of a like
character he told, and whether his
persecution had it's origin in a deenIv
smltten conscience or was a reality
1t was all the same to- him. He firmly
believed in it, as did many others.
Adams finally removed to Garrard
county. He gave dance at his homo
one night during (which a general
ngnt occurred, and he was fatally
stapDed by unknown parties.

sure to develop the heroes of future
championships.
Take it all in all, this year has pro-
duced the banner season in base bah
financially. The professional clubs
which lost money can be counted on the
fingers of two hands. And while the
profits have not been extreme any
where they have been most satisfac-
tory and general. The best proof of
this years base ball prosperity is the
fact that after two disastrous profess
sional years in New York $100, 900 has
just been offered and refused for the
controlling interest in the club. The
same stock in the winter of 1894-5 was
bought for $4,000. This single trans
action speaks emphatically for the firm
hold which the national game has TAX
en- upon the American people.

WHEAT NOT YET AT THE TOP.
Reaction in the Market Considered
but Temporary.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The Times Herald
in its market review tomorrow will
say:
Wheat traders Saturday were trying to
decide whether the advance which had car
ried the December prices from Sic to Toxic
had eliminated. The general opinion was
that 1t had not, but that the Sc reaction
which had taken place from the top was
merely one Of the pauses to be expected in
any bull campaign. In a statistical way the
incident of the week was the development Of
scarcity in India, such urgent scarcity as to
cause some charters to be made at San Fran
cisco with option of sailing with the
cargoes to Calcutta This news was sort
of last straw, not SO very important in it.
SELF but which, coming after bad crop news
from almost every other direction, was suffi-
cient to revive a waning excitement The
advance In rice 1zc per pound during the
past month and over &c per pound during
the season, was given new Significance by
the India adyices. 1t should be as important
to the wheat operator certainly as any news
concerning rye or potatoes that has often
affected wheat in an important degree. The
clearances from both coasts, ALE. 900 bushels
for the week, was new confirmation Of the
enormous cash purchases Of the foreigners
before any advance started, and before most
American spectators at all appreciated the
foreign situation. On the other hand, the
very large Western receipts showed thar
there was sufficient .ssupplE In this country
to make any real scarcity abroad mean
