son he refused Marsden lodging that

Waidron, while out grabbing Fridav
AFTERNOON in Miles river saw the head
OF sea monster just protruding from
tne water on the flats outside the har-
Dor OF st. Michaels, and, rowing to-
ward the object, found II to be a mon-
seer sea turtle. Mr. Waldron was in
small rowboat, but succeeded In driv
Ing the turtle to the shore, where there
began fight for his capture. Mr.. wal
uron called a man on the shore to his
aesistance, and the two succeeded In
landing him in boat. Mr.. Waldron
brought The turtle to St. Michaels
where II was viewed by nearly half the
poulation Of the town. Ii measured
three feet across the shell and weighed
400 pounds. Mr.. Wadron shipped II 10
Baltimore.
IL Is thought that the Will Of the late
Charles E. Benson. which was acci-
dentally destroyed by fire in the regis
ter OF wills office, at Easton. few
weeks ago, may be easily established.
,''~'AH N"N past ANN hh1 , 0uHlcltni tNl-
dence has been gathered. and this
with a fragment Of the document
some vital portions OF the
VIII, are deemed sufficient to establish
its validity. The provision relating TO
the st. Michael's Methodist Episcopal
Sunday school Is void from the fact
that this school, which by the testator
was intended to be a beneficiary to the
extent Of $500, is not an incorporated
body.
The town commissioners are consid-
erlng the advlsability OF supplying the
town OF st. Mlchael's with water. There
Is almost no fire apparatus In the town.
and In case OF fire the only means OF
extlngui6hing the same is by means OF
the bucket brigade On account OF
lack OF fire apparatus II is difficult for
the property owners to secure insur-
anee on their property.

THE GHOST TAGGED A TRAIN.
And Was Tagged Itself After Several
SnccessInI Esca nades.

Successful Escapades.
Ii is not often that a 18th century
ghost can live for years on its reputa-
ton, says an Altoona correspondent of
the New York Sun, as did the Bald
Eagle Ghost of the Beech Creek rail-
road. Almost everybody in this sec
ton has heard OF the Bald Eagle ghost.
IL was none of your sheeted night
providers inhabiting a tumble down
country house. The Bald Eagle ghost
was an up-to-date spirit 1t was SIM
ply a red light.
Ordinarily. there is nothing extraor-
binary about IA red light. but when the
red light appears on railroad, that is
a different matter Had the Bald Ea-
gle ghost been content to exercise its
functions in the fastness of the mount
aims in all proba biiity ii would have
continued to enjoy its ineorporeal ex-
istence indefinitely. But the Bald Ea-
gle spirit was unreasonable. 1t insist
ed on making a spectacle of itself just
where it was most out of place and UNI
welcome.
Some ten years ago, old railroad men
say, the Bald Eagle ghost was born.
The midnight express was bowling
along through gap in the mountains
when suddenly. dead ahead, a red light
flared out on the track. The engineer
seeming danger reversed the engine
and stopped the train: but search
failed to shaW why the train had been
tagged. The train steamed off finally.
\ month later the express was again
Tagged by the light. but. as before, no
cause could be assigned for the pro-
eeeding. After this the signal was seen
al irregular intervals. always in the
lonely gap. Trainmen at length began
To entertain Superstitious fear for the
red light and in time IL became gener-
ally known as the ghost" Old hands
al the brake wheel believed ii To be
the spirit of a track Waterman who
had been killed at the spot where it
generally appeared.
Skeptical superintendent lay in wait
for the ghost, Extra watchmen were
employed To patrol the district. but to
no avail 1t was no fool ghost. II
knew its business. However, il reck-
oned without Jesse Pates.
Pates had long meditated an attack
on the Bald Eagle ghost. and one night
after his train had been delayed an
hour by the light his resolution reached
a point Of action. Going down to the
village store he preached his scheme 10
the gang.
Any Of you fellows like to go ghost
huntin' some night"
Everybody looked interested and al
last one young fellow demanded:
Well where's your ghosl2"
What's the matter with the Bald
Eagle ghost?" he asked. Some of the
crowd shixered. but Pates went ON.
There's a shining mark for a ghost
hunter. / don't believe in this fool talk
of dead watchmen comm back. That
Bald Eagle ghost is a pure fake. and

the big woman's college in Poughkeep-
SIZE N. Y, since the day the students
had creamed chicken for dinner
The next day 10 of the girls had the
collie. Home remedies failed and Dr.
Thalberg, lady physician at the college,
was in scientific despair for long,
anxious hours. The cream was from
the college dairy. in which the pans
shine like students hand mirrors. The
cows at yassar are fed on the richest
fodder. The chickens were from the
college coops and the cooking was done
in the college kitchen.
In spite OF all this the collie was an
aching fact and became too formidable
charge for DR.. Thalnerg and her as
sistant. Accordingly two Poughkeepsie
doctors were sent for. The men and
women of medicine knitted their brows,
summoned their learning and made
combined attack upon the collie.
Through the night they toiled and it
was not until the gray morning light
crept through the college windows that
science got the upper hand over
creamed chicken.

last three young fellows volunteered
to accompany him. 1t was arranged 70
start on the following evening, ana at
the appointed time the ghost hunters
met At the narrows Pates distributed
his men along the accustomed scene or
the ghosts perambulations ana awaited
results. Couched in clump OF bushes
he himself lay for hours undisturbeo
except by the sound of passing freight
trains, Shortly before the time for the
midnight express ne heard whispered
conversation off to his left.
Have you got the lantern Pete?"
some one asked
Yep" a second voice replied. I've
got her lit, but I'll keep her hid till
see the headlight
It's dead easy thing" the first
voice went on. BLOW the light out ana
you jump on.
Pates saw through the whole scheme
in a second. Circling around he sig
nailed to his companions to close IN,
and in a short time they had the men
with the lantern surrounded.
Throw UP your hands and show your
light" the ghost hunter ordered.
In an instant out came the light and
UP went three pairs of hands The
hunters found themselves gazing at
trio of dirty, grinning tramps.
$50 you're the ghost that has been
walking here all these years.? PateS
asked in disgust.
we never said we was no ghost"
one answered.
We'll, what in blaZes have you been
laggin' trains here for 10 years, them"
Pates continued, angrily.
i guess, since were caught. we
might as well give the snap away" one
of the tramps said, with grin. You
see, we come over the hill from the
Pennsy, and, not carin' to walk more'n
is necessary. we got on to the graft Of
faggin the trains and baggagin' to the
end of the division. 1t was a great snap
but we spoilt it now. Every hobo on
the road knew about this easy mark.
We KEEP lamp there in the businesses
pecial for the occasion.
We'll. I'm jiggered." Pates remarked,
IF that amt the coolest piece of nerve
/ ever heard. Now, look here. Drop
that lamp an git, and If I ever hear Of
this here ghost walkin' again therell
be a hobo wallxin' in his future home
before his time. Git and spread the
news that the Bald Eagle ghost is dead.
Git, | say, for we're goin to shoot after
we count so =
But before Pates finished the tramps
had disappeared, and the Bald Eagle
ghost hasn't walked since.
