GENERAL MOORE'S GHOST AGAIN.
A BEILEvILIE MAN IS SURE HE SAW IT PoKINd
AROUND IN THE RUINS.


Peter Deighan OF Willam-st.. Bellcville. asserted
Yesterday that he had seen The ghost OF General
Ephraim Moore. the old Revolutionary commander.
whose apparltion Is one Of the timchonored nstitu-
tions of Essex County. The ghost has not been seen
before In several years General Moore died In his
roomy old mansion in Bellevile. leaving snug
fortune consisting principally OF white lead and
paint factory on the margin of Second River direct
ly opposite his house. After his death the mansion
had the reputation of being haunted. and 1t was
untenanted for years. The ruins OF the old paint
works still stand with desolate chmneys and II Is
here that Deighan thinks he saw the ghost. Deighan
says 1t was robed In white and was poking about In
the ruins but that when II observed him, II APP
preached rapidly. Deighan took 10 his heels, and
ne AYERS that the unearthy visitor followed him as
far as the corner OF Quarry and then vanished.
Quarry-st. Is the boundary line OF the old Moore
tract While those TO whom Deighan recited his
perlencc made light of the matter. II was noiicc-
aole that OF them offered to search tho ruins
with him. The place is now overgrown with trees
and the river winds about the foundation walls OF the
old factory In picturesque style. In broad daylight
1t Is inviting spot, but when lighted by the moon
shining through spring fog II v uncanny enough.
