MT. vERNoN's GHOST CAUGHT

MT. VERNON'S GHOST CAUGHT.
A dispatch from Mount Vernon, n.
Y, says ghost has been haunting
the west side of that city for the last
two weeks at hours between midnight
and dawn. Scott's bridge, that spans
the New Haven railroad tracks at
Eleventh avenue was his favorite haunt.
Valiant citizens had seen the ghost. but
had not attempted to capture him.
They declared that he was peculiar
even for a ghost, for, instead of the
usual raiment for ghosts, this one went
naked.
Policeman Gilroy's beat covers
Scott's bridge. Late last night he saw
a white figure leaning against the rail
of the bridge. SIT had not one stitch of
clothing on it," said Gilroy the other
day, "and l thought it must be the
ghost of Adam. at first / was afraid
to tackle the thing. was, but then l
thought to myself as how it was Adam
that plunged US into sin. Thinking
like that, | says to myself I'll go over
and lambaste Adam for the harm he
done to humanity. went over to my
ancestor and l hollers, Here, 60 on

the shoulder. The chills was coursing
down me spine. The thing jumps and
turns to me with staring eyes. Sure it
was no ghost at all. Divil a bit. 1t
was young Harry Wilson, that lives in
the Oakley mansion at Fourth and Lin

His old man met US on the shtoop. He
told me Harry was in the habit of walk

Young Wilson is member of one of
the best families in town.
