WHEELING, June 25. 49, Reports from
Marshall, Wetzel and Tyler counties, which
lie Immediately south OF here, are to the
effect that great damage has been done

about Mountsyille will reach several thou
sand dollars. The Baltimore and Ohio
track and other property were damaged to
the extent of SO, 600 by the washouts.
In Tyler county, in the vicinity Of Sis
tersyille, the storm caused the most havoc.
For several days it has been raining al
most necessarily, and all the little streams
were swollen TO twice their normal size
When the storm came they became raging
rivers and swept everything in their path
way.
A mile below Sistersville the Ohio Riv-
er railroad was washed out for distance
OF mile aud a half, and the rails, with
the ties attached, are lying 200 feet out of

man with long whito beard sweeping
over his breast. The figure appeared to bo
feet in height, and in one hand il carried
club such Us the brains Of the old mnn
had been beaten out with ten yenrs before.
Slowly raising one arm, the ghost with n
majestic sweep beckoned French to come
ahead. He WAS too startled to do anything
except try to restrain the prancing horses,
which were straiuing ut the harness in ut
tempts to break away and run A cold
sweat started out all over the body of the
farmer rs he realized that he was mt last
looking at ghost, and thon the sound of
his wife'R voice came to him, begging him
10 return the way they had come and es-
cape the doom which seemed impending.
French was still too much scared and ex-
cited to control the horses and Us he pazed
stoadfastly at the fearful white object i'm
tho road 1t slowly began to move toward
the wagon. The club was now raised to
It's shoulder, as n soldier carries rife and
~ seemed to moyc forward without touch
Ing the ground, like winged thing.
Ihon the farmer recovered his faculties.
~hirling his team around, he lashcd the
horses into run and began the trip to the
house OF tho frieEd he had just left. When
they arrived there, both the man and his
wife were almost fainting from fright.
ne next man TO SEQ the ghost was Mil.
son Moon. He had the reputation for being
not only man of intelligence, but one
without fcar. His experience was much
the same as That Of the Trenches, and It
brought about several Investigations by
parties of citizens. In each case they saw
and were convinced OF the actual presence
OF the ghost without being able TO discover
any satisfactory explanation.
Ghosts go down into history often, rs this
one seems likely to, without any explnna-
ten for their presence. There are, how
ever, exceptions. The famous Anboyd
ghost, which excited Montreal many wears
ago, was seen by hundreds of people and
thoroughly believed in. When tho matter
was finally probed to the bottom, tho ludi-
crous side came out. 1t was siok turkey
perdied on tho top of a tall tree. In some
way long white sheet had become en-
tangled In its wings. When any one climb
ed the tree the sick bird disappeared in tho
foliage, and 1t was afterward found that it
hid in great cavity in tho trunk.
An interesting American ghost is that
which is said to dwell In the Forbes manor
house at Bath-on-the Hudson, near AL
bany. One night about 30 years ago the
manor house was the blazing scene of O
social gathering just what out of the
ordinary happened that night nobody in
.s;saths Knows, But something did ha,,nen
