These Ghosts Explained.

Only recently the owner of a group
of modern fiathonses up town became
almost victim OF the suicide mania
because the tenants threatened to
move out without giving him the Gus
tomary one months notice. and this
soon after May l. the close of the NOV
ing period. The fact is that ghosts"
had disturbed the peace and quiet of
the tenants of one of the houses for
several days and then had extended
their operations to another, until the
manifestations had become alarming.
There would be the vibrations of the
chandeliers. and they would seem to
turn in their joints; then there would
be a rattlihs between the doors made
by the gaspipes in their shakings;
then one after another the bells would
ring, etc A remarkable feature of
these rumblings and other disturban-
ces was that they were confined to
the second and third floors The land
lord was appealed to. and he lost no
time in putting experts on the track of
the ghosts and in a few days the
ghosts" made OF. 1t seemed that the
prompt employment of competent de-
tectives had reached the knowledge of
the ghosts" and they disappeared
suddenly. after throwing two of the
glass globes of the chandelier-gIobes
that cost LBS each-which were shat
tered into hundreds of pieces After
tracing out an electric circuit from the
street, 1t was found that it was in con-
tact with the gas pipe, and that the
bell wire ran close to this, hence the
ghosts. New York Tribune.

One OF the proprietors OF the island

his huge brown factories. and has set

This enables those who have occasion

on the island. but as yet there are no
evidences of them. Until three years
ago Barren island had never had a

lated to make trip profitable and then

Thought coin Would Float.

A recent robbery of $4,000 of state
funds, in coin. from the Refine Regente,
a Dutch liner, while on her voyage to
Batavia. was committed under novel
circumstances. The thief, a steward
named Bruyn, threw the cash box
containing the money into the sea. and
then jumped overheard. expecting that
it would float on the surface and that
he would be able to seize it and swim
to the coast of Egypt, which was in
sight. AS it happened, the box con-
tanning the coin sank to the bottom.
and the baffied thief was captured be-
fore he could reach the shore. He is

SENSIBLE GOV. STONE
Gives Reasons for Not Favor.ng "Gettys-
burg as a Name for a Naval Vessel


HARRISBURG. Pa, April SIN letter
which Governor Stone to-day wrote to
w. S. Grenoble, CT Gettysburg, declining
to sign petition addressed to the Secre-
tary of the Navy urging that one Of the
new cruisers be named the Gettysburg"
the executive said:
IF naming cruiser Gettysburg would
alone honor and distinguish the excellent
town of that name, l would not hesitate
to join with you in this request; but to
the whole country and to the civilized
world, that name typifies a great battle
which settled a controversy between the
North and the South of our country To
both sections it recalls a great heroic
struggle. The victory was with the
North, the defeat with the South.
I'm the recent war with Spain, the
North and the South were blended as one
in defense of our flag. Our battleships
and cruisers are manned by sailors and
marines from both the north and the
South and 1 do not think it wise that a
name should be selected for any of our
vessels which will revive the unpleasant
ness which grew out of the civil war and
existed for SO many years.
Let Gettysburg be honored and revered
as the site of a great battle wherein the
survivors of the Northern army and the
survivors of the Southern army can alike
uphold the valor of their comrades. / am
not in favor of giving any vessel in our
navy a name which will distinguish a bat
tie fought by Americans against Ameri-
cans"

NIGHT SESSION.
An Address Was Made by the Rev. DR..
Chalfant On Missions in the East

A popular meeting" was held at 1880
o'clock last evening, and was presided
over by the pastor, Rev. D. A. Cunning
ham. Quite a large number OF the
members of the society and the visiting
delegates were in attendance, and the
features Of the occasion were OF most
interesting nature. After prayer mad
been said by Rev. Cunningham, very
pleasing solo, entitled, THE Heavenly
Song" was faultlessly rendered by Miss
Virginia Harrison.
The Rev. Mr.. Cunningham then in
troduced to the congregation Rev. Geo.
w. Chalfant, D. D., OF Pittsburg, who
delivered a pleasing address on the
subject, Missions in China and Japan.
The Rev. Mr.. Chalfant's remarks
were listened to with rapt attention and
were warmly applauded at various
times throughout the evening.
The reverend speaker gave an inter-
esting account of his travels through
China and Japan during the last year,
and during his remarks stated that ne
had travelled over 1920 miles through
the interior of China and had visited
fifteen missionary stations OF dlHerent
denominations. He also gave an excel
lent sketch of the beauties OF Japan IN
the cherry blossom" season, which is
now at its height in that country. Rev.
Chalfant said that he landed at Shang-
hal on the 9th of last May, md after
spending ten days at this pl>ce started
on a tour through the interior OF the
country, during which he visited the
cities of Che Foo, living Chow, Wei
Helm, Gilman Flu, the capital of Shan
tung province; Hoang Ho; Pekin, the
capital of China; and Chow Flu, and the
Yellow River country. The Rev. Mr..
Chalfant spoke of attending the synod
of North China while at Che Foo, and
made special reference to his visit to
the College of Presbytery at Tung
Chow, where two hundred young men
were being instructed. He also spoke
Of the Yellow River country now being
flooded, saying that the water breaks
over the bikes every year, but that the
present flood in that country was the
greatest that had been known in
many years, as the water had broken
through the bikes for a considerable
distance along the banks, covering 1910
square miles of land and causing about
two millions of people to be drowned.
In conclusion, Rev. Chalfant spoke OF
having visited his youngest son, resid-
ing at Wei Helm, and also of having
spent brief time with his eldest son,
residing at l Chow Flu; described the
great walls of China, and highly COM
mended the good work being accom-
plished at the various missionary sta
lions in China and Japan.
At the conclusion of the address a
collection was taken up and quite a
neat sum of money was contributed by
the congregation. After the collection,
Rev. Mr.. Cunningham announced the
programme of the convention for to-
day. Benediction was then pronounc-
ed, after which the meeting was
brought to close with the singing of
a hymn. During the meeting the choir
of the First Presbyterian church rem
dered a number Of beautiful selections.

Special to the Register
Marietta, O., April 6.-An unknown
man fell, jumped or was pushed into

been recovered. Thomas Curry, of Sis
tersville, is the only man missing aud
is believed to have been the victim,
though the entire accident is shrouded

Secrets OF the Court OF Cessation Be-
ing Made Public in France.


Paris, April 6.-The Figaro publishes
the evidence given by Examining Mag
istrate Bertulus before the court of
cessation in the Dreyfus case. M. Ber-
tulus gave an interesting account Of
his examination of the late Lieut. Col.
Henry, who committed suicide by cut.
ting MS throat with a razor IN August
last in the military prison of Monte
Valerion, after cC~eeassing to forging
certain documents connected with the
affair. The examining magistrate said
that when Henry found himself cor
nered he confessed that Lieut.. Col.
Dupay de Clam and Major Count Es-
terhazy were the authors of the spur
ious kilograms aiming TO incriminate
Lieut.. Col Picquart, whereupon NJ.
Bertulus said TO Henry.
"Esterhazy and Dupay de Clam are
guilty. Let the latter blow out his
brains this evening and justice will
take its course against Esterhazy. the
forger who is now making charges
against you, which, if they reach the
ears OF your enemies, may lead them
to accuse you OF supplying Esterhazy
with the documents"
Henry. it further appears, upon hear
ing this, collapsed in his chair speech
less, and then threw his arms around
the magistrate, kissed him on the fore
head and cheeks, crying, imploringly:
Save us. Save us. Esterhazy is a
scoundrel."
The magistrate then pressed him foi
1nrther information against Esterhazy,
but Henry begged him not to insist,
saying; The honor of the army be-
fore everything"
NJ. BertuluS also expressed the be-
lief that the yelled lady" who has fig
ured in the case was no otenr than

"A twenty MlIlOn DOPdT OOHlDlue L OFIu-
ing to Control the Output of the
Country.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 6.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
A $20,009,Oc0 combine of lamp chimney
manufacturers of the United States is in
progress of formation with every indica
ton that the promoters of the enterprise
VIII carry the deal to a successful termi-
nation. The factories concerned in the
combine comprise every manufacturer of
lamp chimneys in the United States.
The formation of a new company to ac
Quire the plants of these companies has
been going on for some time, and it is
said that a meeting will be held in New
York within a few days to hear the re-
ports of the experts now at work ascer-
tanning the values of the different plants
and the terms on which they can be Sc
cured.
The factories of these various companies
have been closed for the past two weeks,
and it was learned from an authoritative
source that the shutdown is TO permit the
taking of stock and the appraisement of
the value of the plants.
1t is the intention of the promoters of
the enterprise, of whom Judge VIM. H
Moore, of Chicago, is one, to bring about
a close combine in which every factory
will have an equal interest so far as trade
product is concerned.
