experience and considerable prominence in
his profession. He was assistant engineer

has since conducted large engineering
operations. He has been located In Detroit
since 1851, and has large acquaintance
among the business men and citizens OF
this city.

Bishop was in the hospital. For two
months he had the best OF medical atten-

DISCOVERIES IN LEAP CASTLE.
Eleventh Century Staircase Found In
an Early English Structure.

Eleventh Century Staircase Found In
an Early English Structure.
A Birr correspondent writes that a
series of interesting "finds," just dis
covered in the historic Leap castle,
have been shown to a number of visit
ors. The first and most important was
an eleventh century stone spiral stair
case springing from the first floor level
and terminating at the summit OF the
great tower, 100 feet high. This relic
of remote past is in a splendid state
of preservation. The finely cut stone
steps are laid with mathematical acc'l-
racy and are large, like the passage 1T
self The O'Carrolls, princes OF Ely,
whose chief stronghold this castle was,
were all big men--in fact, race OF
giants-as the fey relics of them extant
attest. Hence the reason why every
thing about the castle is large.
The second Find" is an entrance to
the guard room cut out of the rock, and
which was up to the present believed
to be mass of solid masonry. Here
numerous bones. coins of the reign OF
Edward the Confessor and other relics
were found. Human bones in large
quantities, fints and spear heads were
also found in the extensive range OF
dungeons which have been brought tc
light beneath the castle, these curious
prison-houses being rock-hewn, and
their existence having been previously
unknown to the owner of the castle and
lord of the soil, Jonathan G. Darby.
This gentleman is the descendant OF
the royal house of O'Carrols of Ely,
whose family haveremained in uninter-
rupted possession of the Leapfor many
| centuries.
The present owner, aided by Mrs.
Darby, has put into a complete state
of preservation the ancient chapel, an
apartment twenty-five feet square
and high, which is on top OF the
tower, and here has been discovered a
very large and fine English window,
which, from its great elevation, com
mands view embracing eight coun-
ties. A little below this is remarka-
Bile room, which none of the servants
will enter after nightfall. 1t was The
state bedroom OF one OF the prlncesses
of Ely, who was murdered six centu-
ries ago by her lord, and the solid oak
floor retains the bloodstains of the
royal victim. This part of the build
ing is reputed to be haunted, and Mr..
and Mrs. Darby, who do not believe in
ghosts, admit that they cannot account
for the extraordinary noises that occa-
sionally come from the death chamber
of the murdered princess, and which
make it nearly impossible for them to
retain their female servants in their
employment. The manifestations are
reputed to take the form of shrieks,
which resound and ndreverberate through
the building and set all the dogs in the
kennel whining and barking. Leeds

A HORSES WILD RUN.
It Was Checked by a Young Man
With a Level Head.

A horse drawing an express wagon
dashed up l street yesterday, turned
into Seventh, and scattered everything
in sight by its wild run on that thor
Oughfare.
AT X street the runaway narrowly
missed an electric car, and caused a
panic among drivers of vehicles as it
turned east and continued its mad gal
lop.
al. Dillon made a futile effort to head
the beast, but after it had passed him
a 1.-THE, active young man darted from
the crowd in front of the Postoffice,
and an instant later had seized the
bride OF the animal and was swinging
it around TO the north side of the
street.
The young man slipped While crossing
the street railway track. but retained
his grip on the rein and was dragged
until the curbstone was reached and
the horse was brought to a halt. The
man was somewhat bruised and a new
stiff hat he wore was split from front
to rear
The street was lined with vehicles of
all kinds While the running was in
progress, IN many of which were VIC
men and children. and it is probable
that the prompt action taken prevented
serious accident. The name of the
young man who took the risk and stop
ped the runaway is j. p Parker, an
employe of Adams, Booth & Co.

ed a worthless check, advancing SIS on
the same.
The bogus check wielder signed the
name Of James Johnson, and the paper
he forged indicated that he had money
on deposit at the National Bank of D
Q. Mills SS Co.
The same smooth young man also
called on Captain Siddons on street!
and attempted to induce the veteran
TO identify him at the -. O. Mills Bank
as he had check which he wished 20
