break the same marble floors which he
used to clean regularly for years while
living. His name was Osborne, and
he died rather more than a twelve
month ago. The phantom which has
been longest known at the capital,
however, haunts the basement OF the
house of representatives. It has been
seen by many of the watchmen, who
all describe the apparition as that of
a tall, military-looking gentleman of
foreign aspect, with long mustache
and goatee. He walks about the
corridors in a melancholy way, with
his hands clasped behind him, and
promptly v%anishes when approached.
A BULLET FOR HIS JOKE.
The watchmen at the capitol, who
are all men selected for intelligence
and experience, say that the building
is a grewsome place to walk about in
at night. The huge structure is filled
with mysterious sounds, the
smallest noise being magnifed
by reverberation. Strange voices
seem to whisper everywhere. from the
corridors that run around the dome
to the place OF echoes called the
"crvpt," beneath. Walking across
Statuary hall in the silent darkness,
where the marble figures ranged
around the great apartment seem
themselves like so many specters on
the watch, q person experiences q
strange illusion, doubtless arising
from the acoustic peculiarities Of tho
spot. He hears footsteps stealthily
following his own, asst ofsome one who
was pursuing him with an intention
to leap upon him. The footsteps
seem to be going a little faster than
his own as if to overtake him.
One night ten years ago a watch
man, who had been newly employed
on the force at the capitol, was pass
ing through statuary hall alone in the
darkness, when he heard q proan and

GOT DAMAGES FROM THE EARL.

An English Serving Maid Who Re-
fused to Carry Coal for Clancarty
Yesterday ut the Rrampton county
court Capt. Head claimed ELS from the
earl of Clancarty for breach of agree
ment in the hiring of a furnished house,
40 Lowndes Square, says the West
minister Gazette. The defendant signed
an agreement to take the house in qnes-
ton from Sept. % last to November
10 at the rent of f1OO 16s. This docu-
ment contained a clause to the effect
that his lOrdship should retain on the
premises the landlords houscmaid,
named White, the former paying her
3 shillings per week for washing and
beer and half her wages (E222 per III
NUM-, besides providing her with board.
Shortly after his lordship and his serv-
ants took up their abode at 40 Lown-
des Square, the earl of Clancarty sent
the butler to the housemaid with an
order to make a fire i'll Lady Clan
carty's room. White replied that it
was not her place to carry coal while
an able-bodied footman was in the
house. Eventually, however, she did
light the fire, but expressed her opin-
ion that it was not her duty to carry
coal. His lordship, or being informed
Of this, wrote her a note rcproving her
for what he termed ''~impertinence'
and telling her to pack up and leave the
house. Later on Lord Clancarty Offer
cd her a months wages in lieu of no.
tice, but the plaintiff declined to ac-
cept it or leave the house. She stated
that she was turned out at $3.50 p. III.
by the aid Of a policeman. One Of the
neighbors sheltered her until the morn
ing, when she took Il train to her
parents home in Taunton. Defendant,
who was stated to be unable at present
to leave his residence at Ballinsloc,
Ireland was represented by counsel,
who stated the defense to be that the
girl OH refusing to carry coal behaved
impcrtinently, and defendant was legal
ly within his right in ~discharging her.
His honor said that clearly Lord Clan
carty had no authority to dismiss this
ser, ant. He (the learned judge did
not think in Il nobleman's family u
houseiNa;d should be asked to carry
coal, and he was of opinion that the
girl had treated his lOrdship with the
greatest respect possible. He found for
the plaintiff for f13, but disallowed 70
railway fare and express to Taunton.
Judgment was entered accordingly,
with costs.

xsaly. the Wyoming Murderer,
shows signs Of Weakenins.
saltwater, June Is. - Dr. Burnside
Foster of st. Paul came over to Still
water to see and identify the two,
murderers of Hayes and Paul at Wy
oming. The doctor, his head still
showing the bruises from his sanguin-
airy encounter, seated himself in the
sheriff's office at the county Jail, and
George Kelly, the elder and more
hardened outlaw, was first called in.
He was subjected to n most rigid ex-
animation, and the doctor was con-
WINGED that lie was n Of the despe-
radoes. At the time of the murder
Kelly's face was disguised by a ban
danna handkerchief of peculiar pat
tern. One was found in his pocket
when captured and was fully identi-
fled by DIR. Foster. During the in
terview Kelly maintained a stubborn
silence when questioned concerning
the crime or else would answer:
cit would not do me any good to say
anything about it; you would not if
you were in my place. would you?"
Dr. Foster then said: kelly, If you
want to say anything to me in private
7 assure you it will remain secret with
me-"
After thinking this over for a few
minutes the prisoner answered.: "Just
step this way for a minute"
A private conversation ensued for
five minutes or more, Kelly calling the
doctor back to a parting word. Just
what this conversation was no one
but the doctor and Kelly knows, but
DR.. Foster remarked afterward that
Kelly was breaking down under the
shadow of his terrible crime.
James Cunningham. alias Arthur
Johnson, the younger outlaw. who
seemed to have played a minor part
in the tragedy, talked freely and in
effect the same as yesterday. DR..
Foster confirmed his statement that
he vas outside the building at the
time and took no part in the shooting.
Kelly is evidently the man who shot
Hayes and Paul.

Mrs. Craven Keeps the Millionaire's
Heirs Guessing.
San Francisco, June 25.-Mrs. Nellie
Craven has made two sensational
moves in the Fair will contest. She
has filed ejectment~ proceedings against
the heirs of James Fair to GUST them
from possession of the property at
Pine and Sansome streets and the
block on Mission and Eleventh streets.
and at the same time to recover in all
S22O,OOO for back rents and damages.
Mrs. Craven refused to take the stand
and be sworn in response to the sum-
mons of Judge Stack ordering her and
her attorney and advisers to produce
any papers or written documents Of
the late millionaire in their possession.
For this defiance Of the court Mrs.
Craven was sentenced to twenty-four
hours in the Branch county Jail, but
at the solicitation of her attorneys, ex-
ecutiOn of the order was stayed for
tw%enty-four hours in the hope that
she may change her mind. The two
deeds that were recorded are still MISS
ing. Attorney Hegegrty believes now
that he will never secure them.

Electric Lxht Rnrs

The two species of large water bugs
that have come to be called electric
light bugs have put in an appearance
around the electric arc lights. The
most curious thing about these bugs is
that before the introduction of electric
lights they were considered to be COM
paratively rare. They were seldom
seen, as they were not attracted by or
binary light. When the arc light ap-
peared, however, the bugs became
enormously noticeable. Upon their ap-
pearance in such prodigious numbers
~entomologists were of the opinion that
after two or three years both species
would grow scarcer; but the numbers
do not seem to be decreaNng in the
slightest. While neither the bclostoma
or the benacus is distinctly poisonous,
both have strong beaks capable of in
ficting severe wounds, and it will be
wise to handle them with great care,
if at all. The very large black water
beetle will also be seen among the
water bugs around electric lights in
the proportion of about 1 to 1OO.-
