ALL BEcAusEoF A SPIDER.
Recorder of Deeds Office Upset and
Panic 4 Caused

Panic Caused.
Aspider was the cause ofenough cousterna-
ton in the office Of the recorder OF deeds
yesterday afternoon, to turn a girls
boarding school int0 an insane asylum.
1t was not q particularly large spider.
-butjt was a very tugly one aud had great
long hairy legs that no one but a natural
list could appreciate. st
1t was just 2:4l o'clock (the tiihepiece
In front Of MIR. Martins desk stopped at
that hour is the way the time was fixed)
when the foolish, thOughtless insect made
its appearance. 1t is probable that all its
HE had been spent among the books In the
copy room just east OF the file room.
The spider had probably crawled into Que
OF these books, when Miss Corey, copy
ist, took the volume from shelf and
carried into MIR. Johnson's room.
During the migratory act the spider
laid low. 1t doubtless did not know what
else TO do. Miss Corey carried the volume
and laid II on MIR. JohnsOn's desk. His
room Is due south OF the recording office
and one room removed from Recorder Tay-
lor S own quarters.
Everything was as quiet and peaceful as
things should be On clear afternoon at tie
close OF June. Suddenly u Shriek. the in-
tcDsity OF whose shriliness could tnly be
compared with the intensity OF Roentgen
rays, came from Mr.. JohDson's r,fIn and
would have shattered the window pares
had not the windows been open.
The shrek was followed by anOiher end
another in as rapid succession as the reports
of a atliDg gun.
With the sounds the recording office took
on the appearance OF moving g day in Gotham.
Col. Shayer placed his pen henind bis ear
and jumped up. Mr.. Martin looked around
at Mr. Lacey Just In time TO see MIN Ugh ON
the floor ten feetin front of his desk. He Lad
cleared the latter at single hound.
Charles E. Sessford forgot that railing
four feet six and on e-half inches high stood
between him and the world, and while plac-
ing his hand upon it to see II IL was steady
incidentally leuped over and glided to the
door quicker than il requires to take Il snap
shot photograph. Mr.. Sly actually revoived
in his chair and then got up. johnnie" SAT
fell swallowed the cigarette he was on the
point Of lighting and Mr. Hoover stroked
his beard as he ran.
Ed. Mitchell closed his mouth 10 keep
his heart from making jump for liberty
and Eddie Campbell, who was down by
theregister office, made stage slide down
through the two-hundred-f foot curriGof. All
the copyists emerged en- masse, or oth.r-
wise, from tile single outside door of the
copy room Recorder Taylor was not in
the building.
All OF this was done of course, N one
hundredth part OF the time it requires 10
tell it. The shrieks had subsided and the
consoling tones OF Mr.. Johnsoa's voice
could be heard above and below the swing
ing door to his room
A score OF brave hands were ready to
pun the door open. 1t was opened. Miss
Corey stood against the wall recovering
from her last shrek. In the center vi the
floor Mr.. johnson Was bsndihg ,vcr busily
engaged in transfixingthe spider mentioned
above, scientifically, the aTchniiae tangle-
legis, with a pin. He held the insect up
to view and IL told more eioquently than
words to the assembled crowd what had
