A CHURcHGOING GHOST.
Weird Tale of a Dublin Woman
About IA Dead Clergyman.

From the Boston Herald.
A Dublin correspondent gives the fol-
lowing ghost story: A lady, we'll known
in Dublin society, the wife of one of the
leading members of the choir in st. Pat
rick's Cathedral, who is a constant at
tendant at the services, perceived in one
Of the stalls the dim outlines of a mans
form, gradually becoming more distinct,
in sitting posture. The face and form
were at once recognized by her as those
of one of the clergy of the cathedral, who
was greatly beloved and respected, and
whose death plunged the Protestant com
munity of Dublin into mourning four
years ago.
The ladys experience, of the reality Of
which she is quite convinced, might per
haps be attributed to an optical illusion,
or to an unaccountable freak of the i'm
agination, were it not that the appear
ance of the dread dignitary has presented
itself on several occasion to members of
the staff of the cathedral. These APP
pearances have been chiefly seen In the
Lady chapel of the cathedral, where spec
ial service, in which he took the keenest
delight, were held by this clergyman for
the poor of the surrounding neighbor-
hoodts
Helwas an enthusiastic lover of St Pat
rick's, and his residence for many years
adjoined the cathedral. He was accus-
toned to play the organ in the cathedral
late at night by himself. and to ascend
the tower for the purpose of taking as
Economical observations.
The interest created in these appari-
tons is intensified by the circumstance
that the man whose spirit is supposed to
be seen was himself convinced believer
in supernatural appearances. He resided
for the last years of his life in a suburb
of Dublin, and changed his residence, an
ancient building near the cathedral, ow-
ing to his belief that noises heard by
every member of the household, himself
included, the cause of which he sought
in vain to discover, were distinctly su-
pernatural.
These noises which were heard, as a
rule. on quiet nights, resembled the
sounds of a person walking in slippers
and shutting his feet along the floor
They proceeded from a room in an upper
part of the house. The noises instantly
ceased when any one entered the room
and commenced Immediately upon his de-
parture. This room forms part of a pub
lie library. The late dignitary's first
knowledge of the mystery surrounding
his house came when, on returning home
late on night, he found his household had
not retired. but were all up, in the great
est excitement, in the belief that some
one had been locked into the library.

Vessel.

The Hamburg Underwriters AssocIa-
ton. through its attorneys. Messrs. Erwin,
duBignon & Chisholm, filed an amended
libel in the United States court yesterday
in response to the answer to the original
libel, which was filed by the defendant,
Luigi Granello. owner of the Italian bark

In the amendment it is alleged that the
cargo of petroleum with which the bark
originally started from New York, was
valued at $31, IT'S, and that the profits on
the voyage were insured for $3.50. The
cargo, it was stated. was liable for a con-
tribution of $3.50 at the time of the dis
aster to the vessel, which rendered neces-
sary It's putting into the Barbados.
The libellants state they paid the owner
of the cargo the full amount of his loss.
The value OF the vessel at the time of the
adventure was $l46l0. and OH a general
average, 1t was claimed, should contribute
to the libellants s6.156l2 For these
amounts the libellants claim lien on the
vessel her tacSel and apparel, superior
to any other claims.

HOW THEY Fight IN CUBA.
spaniards Do Not Attack Unless They
Have n Sure Thing.
From Leslle's Weekly.

| From Leslie's Weekly.
The spaniards have repeatedly stated
| that the Cuban insurgents will not face
them in open battle, but retreat after the
first few volleys have been exchanged, and
that their perfect knowledge of the coun-
try roads and trails enables them to es-
cape.
Nine months experience in the field
with Gems. Gomez and Maceo and Aguirre
| has given me the opportunity of studying
the war and of comparing the tactics on
both sides. There Is mucn truth in the
! Spanish reports; but the reasons that
compel the Cubans to employ their pres
ent tactics are carefully omitted.
The one great object of the Cubans In
the field is not so much to win by fight
ing as IL is to cripple Spain by draining
her resources. The longer they can hold
out without giving battle. the more money
will be needed to clothe and feed the
vast Spanish army. The financial condi-
ton of Spain Is understood by every Gu
ban soldier, and they all fully recognize
the importance of putting their oppress-
ors to as much extra expense as possible.
The Cuban campaign since Maceo exc
cuted his great raid has been purely de-
fensive, having for its object the above
result Chiefs like Gomez and Maceo have
at times assumed the offensive, but only
for a short time. These defensive tactics
have proved of more benefit to the Gu
bans than a series of pitched battles.
The successful working of their plan Is
demonstrated every time that Gen. Wey-
Ter asks for achievements.
Next to Maceo's great campaign In Pinar
del Rio, probably the most remarkable
example of defensive tactics has been
those employed by Gen. j. NJ Aguirre
since he assumed command OF the lnsur-
gent forces In the province Of Havana.
Although the other chiefs have succeed.
ed in evading the Spaniards as well as
Agurre, yet his proximity TO the capital
makes his campaign OF special import
ance.
The northern brigade OF the province of
Havana, under Aguirre and BrigadIer Car
denas. IL divided into two cavalry regi-
ments and a company OF Infantry. num-
bering in all about 800 armed men. Their
field OF operations extends from Havana
on the west to the limit of the provinces
at Ceiba Mocha on the east, distance
of forty-nve miles, and from the coast
south, to line dividing the province in
the center.
In this territory are stationed about H.
900 Spanish troops, whose sole object Is
TO corner or entrap this small Cuban bri.
gade and force them TO a decisive fight
The spaniards hold all the towns, which
are strongly fortified and have each a
permanent garrison OF from 100 to 300 SOL
diers 70 protect them from destruction by
the Cubans.
Operating field columns are stationed at
the towns of Guanabacoa, Minas. Jaruco

A cRooKED TREASURER.
The Redmen of Powhattan Tribe
Arrest Their Treasurer.

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. PIT. II. Quinn. a
justice court bailiff and treasurer of Pow

sworn out by an investigating committee

the Dagger End.
Arthur Mursell in the Temple Magazine.
In a good house in a northwest suburb, a
few years ago, sat a handsome man,
about midnight, writing at a MS, which,
to Judge by the drift of torn paper all
around, had not been an easy task, and
now he leans back in his chair, waiting
for the ink to dry, and to rest his cramped
fingers and his heavy eyes. The room is
fitted as a library. with many books on
many shelves.
AS he pauses in his work the door opens
and a stranger appears-a gentleman,
young, distinguished aud imperious In
writer, and being disregarded, repeats the
summons with a decision which compels
obedience. Rising. his visitor leads him
downstairs, out at the door, through
street after street, and opening with a
latchkey the door of a substantial house,
passes upstairs into an elegant apart
ment and, turning to a couch, shows re-
cilning upon IT a beautiful girl of about
nineteen or twenty summers. Her golden
hair has fallen in a rich mass about her,
and one arm is left bare by a falling sleeve
and the other dainty hand is nesting un-
der her cheek.
For few seconds the stranger surveys
the sleeping form and then sheathes to
the hilt the glittering dagger in the
snowy breast. The deed done. he beck

AN ALLEGED CoUNTERFErTER.
w. II. Smith Tried For Passing IA
Spurious So Bill.


A rather interesting counterfeiting case
was tried in the United States court yes
terday the defendant being a negro
named William II. Smith, from Clinch
county.
The negro was charged with having in
his possession and passing a counterfeit
s. bill. He was defended by Mr.. William
Pease, who, in the course of the examina-
ton of the witnesses, suggested that
Smith might have obtained the bill from
some green goods agent, or in some other
way, and was unaware of the fact that it
was not good.
Mr.. Forsyth of the secret service, who
was on the stand, explained that green
goods men never dealt in counterfeit
money, but used good money in their
swindling operations. This appeared to
be revelation to some of those who were
interested in the case.
There Were several interesting points
brought out in the case which amused the
spectators considerably. The jury was
instructed to return a sealed verdict.
