HaIfl.
 A colored woman, whose name cannot be learned, called on the prosecuting attorney this morning and told q doleful tale.
 The woman owned Il small place about two miles from town, where she and her husband lived. She has sold the place to Mir. Sam Kaufman and there was an agreement that tLe coffin containing her husbands remains should be removed. Sunday morn ing Mr. Kaufman dug up the coffin, but the woman failed to come for it, as it was raining. and the coffin had been sitting on the side of the grave since then. The woman claims that Kaufman had agreed to move the body, but he says that he was only to dig it up.
 Ii the coloreG woman has told the truth, Kaufman has committed a hstatutory crime, and may be held re- l sponsible for it.

ON THE TRAIL OF A GHOST
A Specimen of the Letters Sent to ths
 London Times.

i
 London Times.
 The following letter to the London 5 Times tells rather interesting expe- srience and is good illustration of the way Englishmen write to that paper about all sorts of topics:
 To the Editor of The Times:
 SRA curious parallel to your correspond. ent Mr. Nicks' exoreism Of the ghost that haunted the house at Esher occurred some few years ago in an old Oxfordshire mansion, of which friends of my own had recently become possessed. Soon after the new owners arrival the grewsome discovery was made that on the upper floor, containing the servants apart ments and the children s nurseries, there was q chamber which had long been known haunted and in which no one could ever be ill. duced to sleep By daylight it was pleasant, sunny room, but to be in 1t at night, every occupant declared, was enough to chill the very marrow i'll one's bones. No sooner was the house all quiet, doors and windows shut and midnight near chiming from the church tower, then strange sounds, heard nowhere else, be gan to fll the haunted room. Weird music broke the silence, now sweet and soft and love ly as dream, then swelling into wild eonfu- sion, then dying away in long drawn moans Of infinite distress. Nothing WAS seen but there was no delusion as to the sounds. It was no use putting new servant, ignorant of the
 
 make the secret known. Those moans, as of |. soul in pain, so it was steadily affirmed, pro ceeded from np human visitent Tho room was haunted and it was not to be expected | that any one would sleep il company with q | ghost.
 My friend, the mistress of the house. was ' 1 woman of great nerve and common sense She needed the room for household use and she re. 1 solved to lay the ghost. Accordingly she had l it made ready for occupation and after care ful examination of everything ill the apart. ment prepared to spend the night in it herself. 1 The tales were quite true Toward midnight, i when all was still, the ghostly music began to l quiver through the silence, sweet and wild and exquisitely sad. My friend listened, not quite l guiltless perhaps of tremors. Then she rose and examined the room carefully afresh. Pres ently it struck her that the sounds proceeded 1 from one corner of the floor. She lifted the rug, put her ear down and found it to be ths case. She had located the ghost, if 1t was not l laid. Next morning Il carpenter WAS sent for, 1 the boards were taken up and immediately be meath there was revealed perfect plexus oi 1 bell wires, which had been conducted by this route to tho different parts of the house. When 1 doors and windows were all closed and every l thing still at night, the wind. finding its way 1 by what channel it could. turned this laby 1 rinth of wires into an polian harp, whence 1 issued tho mysterious sounds by which sue l cessive households had been scared. The wires 1 were adjusted, the chinlss and crannies closed l up,s the ghost was laid and the haunted room
 has been comfortably occupied ever since.
