A HAUNTED HOUSE
Adventures of Two Families With

Adventures of Two Families With a
Tediumistic Servant.
The families of Mr.. Thomas F. Neary
and Mr.. Julius Wolf yesterday moved
from a house on Cough street, near
Broadway, because they said the house
was haunted, says the Baltimore Sun. j
Mr.. Neary is foreman at the Baltimore
Chrome Works. His wife made the fol-
lowing statement at her new home, s
South Ann street:
"Two years ago moved into the house
on Cough street, renting rooms on the
second and third floors from Mrs. Wort,
who was then occupying the house. We
had not been there long before we began
to hear strange noises in the house at all
hours OF the night The noises sounded
like chairs being showed across the floor,
windows being raised and then let down
with a slam, crockery being disturbed
and barrels being moved about in the
cellar. I called my husbands attention
to the sounds, but he said they were
caused by rats.
.sAbout two months ago Mrs. Wolf en-.
gagged servant, who was a girl Of about
Is years. The girl was born with a caul
over her face, and was thought to see SUI
pernatural things. She had been in the
house but few days when she said she
had seen some one walk through the
rooms at night. It is reported about the
neigh borhood that some years ago a Wo-
man who lived in the house had sat
,,so Tod ha,. eliot hing with cna1 nf1s md
then set them on fire. She was burned
to death. It may have been her ghost,
but anyhow the girlfwas constantly see
ing strange things. jEs All

States 81 the extent ia wi aichE they have
been absorbed by this ma ton, and the
wonderful assimiliatio Of its natl O1lal
spirit that has char acterized their citi-
lzenship. The rise Of o Reilly to emfnence
in America was not more rapid nor more
enduring than has been the quick and
! true response Of the Irish character to
american institutions, or the reaction Of
the latter upon the adopted race in evolv-
! ing and developing it's best elements and
traits OF much Of this progress and
standing, the career Of O'Reilly was a
potent factor, as well as q brilliant Illus
tration. His genius and accompli shments
We're the magnets that first drew vast
amount Of outside public attention to the
best characteristics his race was IN va
rfous ways manffesting in American LIE;
and his individual success acted as an
Impulse and inspiration to many OF his
own people to overcome advantageously
| to themselves the seemingly untowaTd
circumstances surrounding their lives:
This monument will mean also the recog-
njtion,t by an American community's inr
telligence and heart, Of great services
done American citizenship by one foreign
born, and will help to expedite the pass
ing of denominational and racial differ
enceS.
Succeeding generation will view this
threefold memorial in a broader way
than even it's builders projected. They
will see in it the individual glory of him
it justly celebrates, a glory won through
activities famed by the glowing inspira-
tons of freedom; they will behold in it
the advancement and absorption into the
very fibre Of the Commonwealth Of the
race which produced this leader and fol-
lowed his onward and upward beckon-
ing; finally they will recognize in its
substantial and enduring presence the
answering sentiments of the republic, the
republic of the Constitution, to ali those.
of whatever race or cline who, having
assumed the republics duties, live eff
fectively, as did O'Reilly, in fidelity to
those duties, and by good use of opportu.-
mites and native abilities attain success
and influence for themselves and for the
race they represent. A quarter century
hence it will. be recognized that O'Reilly,
as an example of this triple consumma-
ton, has won more right to fame and to.
the benediction of American posterity
than through the most fervid outbursts
Of his poetic muse.

And we'll hurl it DER the waters east of
