NO sPooK IN MRS. lEWIs,s HOUSE.

The Neighbor's Son who Told the Ghost
Story Not Believed by Magistrate Brann.
The peace and friendship that for twenty
years have existed between Mrs. Julia Lewis Of
% Irving place and her neigh bors. the Denni-
of 1l9 East Nineteenth street. were rudciy
shock ed yesterday. when 49, rear old Herbert j.
Dennison had John Hearn, who is employed by
one Of Mrs. Lewis's tenants, taken to the York
VILE Police Court on a charge OF assault and in
cidentally insinuated that Hearn was q spook.
Magistrate Brann decided that Hearn was not
ghost. and he discharged him on the charge of
assault.
Mrs. Lewis and her sister. Mrs. Helen Nei
are Spiritualists. and this fact became known
to young Dennison. II also generally
known to the dodgers in the house. Among
these is DR.. J. w. Lake. who occupies tho parlor
floor with a sulphur bath concern. DR.. Lake
employs Hearn. Hearn was the superintendent
OF the baths. In this capacity he came to know
Dennison, who, after period OF amty. at last
hailed him before n Magistrate.
Dennison's story. as he told 1t In court. was
Lcwis's and found her standing in the hall
were out and several bells were ringing Just
what Mrs; Lewis thought was tho matter
that some one was trying to friEhten her. He
said he would make an investigation. and ap-
parently searched the house. Finding nothing
he called Il policeman, who performed the same
feat.
Dennison SAID in court that no met Hearn In
tho house. and asked him II he had caused tho
trouble. Hearn said he had not, Dennison
continued his story. with an account OF another
Ghostly visitation TO the house two weeks later
when. he averred, Mrs. Lewis leaned out of a
window and struck with stick, while he
WAS slapped in the face by form that locke
like liearn's
Mrs. Lewis would not see any one yesterday.
But DIR. Lake spoke for her. DR.. Lake said that
DeDni.on and his mother were in the habit OF
visiting Mrs. Lewis every evening, and that
once, when Dennison was In the kitchen. one OF
the bells rang, and the gas went out though
some one had blown in the tube. Instead of
think ing that spooks had come to tho house.
Mrs. Lewis: accordingto to DR. Lake. developed
very feminine fear OF burglars, so the policeman
WAS called in. The same thing happened on
her head out OF window. struck her chest
against bar that was nailed across It,
Some days later. while Mrs. Lewis and Dem
niSon were sitting in the kitchen, the converse
tion turned to the extingutshment of the lights
and the ringing OF the BELLS Dr. Lake says that
he tried to convince Mrs. Lewis. who is 80 years
old. that spooks had taken possession OF the
place. Hearn happened to be passing tho door
and he grinned widely. Then he spoke:
Il guess that Herbert could tell all about
those spooks." he said.
What do you mean?" asked Herbert.
Dr. Lake says that tho boy ran at HeArn, and
that II earn pushed him away. This was the -
sAult that caused HeRrn's arraignment in court.
Magistrate Brann, after looking both tho men
over. decided that there WAS too much ghostli-
ness in the story, and threw the case out of
court,

II Proves to BE IA Blur Brought Out by
"Sizing."
Something in the atmosphere OF Orange Val
ley is highly conducive to the existence and
development OF ghosts. spooks, apparitions. and
the like. Perhaps this something lies In the
fact that. whenever an Orange Valley resident
hears anything out of tho ordinary. he or she
tells 1t to his her next door neigh bor and tho
next door ne!gh ghbor passes II on with embellish-
ments until presently tho rumoI appears in tho
papers. Such is the case Of the face on Mrs.
Browns wall.
Mrs. Brown lives on the second floor of tho
house at "a Mitchell street. She has never had
any trouble with her walls before. and the only
trouble with them recently. as far as she knew.
was that they got to looking rather grimy. So
she hired Peter Condit to whitewash them He

proceeded TO fade slowly. which process It Was
still continuing. The natural inference was
that Mrs. Monahan had been murdered.
Scores of persons came to the house for tho
next two days. Old newspaper files were looked
mp in the hope OF finding suspicious circum-
stances about Mrs. Monahans death. They
weren't found Somebody discovered thai u
son OF Mrs. MonahAn was living In Orange. He
was brought TO the house and reque, ted to
identify the blur on the wall as a portrait OF his
mother. He looked Mt the blur, said Humph"
and went away. Truth Is mighty and will pre-
vail. The entire community was discussing that
evening how the picture suddenly frightened
when Mr.. Monahnn appeared: how he burst into
tears. crying out his mothers name and how he
declared that he would spare neither time nor
money to hunt down her murderer.
The house at a Mitchell street is still an OBJ
ject of interest, though the blur has divulged no
further startling secrets. 1t will have to do SO
pretty soon or forever hold Its peace. for Peter
tondit is preparing TO exercise it with his white
