EXPERIENCE q0N.
AT MILFORD.
Court Officer Heal Has an
: Interesting Time by
the MispilliOn.

! Court Officer William Heal went
to Milford yesterday to summon J.
c. Ward, eX.chef OF police, to come
to this city. When John Higgins
was arrested one week ago, on the
charge of burglary, he swore he
was in the Milford lookup the night
the store was robbed. He asked
that the Chief OF Police be summon
ed and as Judge Ball was Impress
ed with the story told by Higgins,
and backed up by two men who
were with him, he directed an Off
Ger to go to Milford.
4 Officer Heal arrived at Milford
about II O. clock. only to find that
his man was out of town. He
learned, however, that he was
spending week at the mouth OF
the Mispillion, cunning for ducks.
He hired carriage and felt he
could reach the wharf, tour miles
away. But the driver lost his way
in the woods twice, but finally they
reached their destination. Then
they found that the man wanted
was away In boat. But the boat
house tender went in search of
Ward and when he came ashore the
subpoena to appear as witness
was served and Ward agreed to
come up to-day.
Court Officer Heal denies that he
brought home any blackbirds or
other little birds and sold them to
milliners. He says he saw lots of
blackbi following the plows, but
heard not the whistle ol the blue
bird. He saw lumber OF buzzards
and for time he feared his loud
necktie was in danger
EXoNERATES HIGGINS.
John C. Ward arrived in this city
shortly before 10 o'clock and soon
afterward called upon Chief Dolan.
In the presence OF the Chief, Deputy
City Solicitor Cahoon and Clerk
Adams, Ward was requested to in
terview Higgins. The latter clear.
ly convinced those listening that
he was in Milford on Tuesday night
a week ago He told Ward where
he met him, what conversation pass
ed between them on the street and
at the lock up. A description OF
the lock up was given as well as of
paper toy boat Higgins gave Ward
to keep until the next morning.
Statements made by Ward and for
gotten by him, were repeated by
Higgins.
Ward stated that he could not
possibly identify Higgins, but he
was convinced that unless Higgins
was in Milford OH that night he
could not know of what really
transplred. Deputy City Solicitor
Cahoon will make motion in the
court tomorrow morning to have
Higgins discharged. Ward, who
was chiet OF police at the time was
paid regular witness fees, being 81
and mileage from Milford. But it
was better to pay such expenses
than to send an innocent man to
jail. Judge Ball ordered the sub
poena to be issued for Ward, and
therefore the expenses were paid
out Of the funds of the city court.

: A STORY OF SENATOR MORGAN.
An Order For His Arrest That Was
Not Executed, .,


1t is not generally known PERHAPS. that
Senator Morgan Of Alabama was once
threatened with arrest for alleged COM
plicity In the assassination Of Lincoln.
or course Senator Morgan was not only
innocent, but actually did not hear Of
Lincoln's death until week after it had
occurred. He was then farmer in Dal-
las county, bis practive of the law hay
ing been prohibited by the federal au-
thorities, and he was plowng corn when
he heard that an order had been received
by General Macarthur, at Selma, to ar
rest him and send him to Washington
for completely in the Lincoln assassina-
ton. Senator Morgan went into his house
and attired himself In his Confederate
generals uniform, with starred epaulets.
belt, sword and other accouterments
complete Then he saddled his plow horse
and rode to Selma, where he presented
himself to General Macarthur.
Good morning, general" he said.
"Good morning, general" replied Nc
Arthur, recognizing Morgan's rank. "For
what am indebted for this visit?"
II have come to be sent to Washing
ton," remarked Morgan. II understand
you have an order to send me there"
General Macarthur expressed surprise
to learn that the existence of the order
was known and smiled when General
Morgan told him that cx-Confederates
had not lost their habit of acquiring in
formation. Then he remarked that the
order would not be obeycd, or at least
not until there had been reasonable de-
lay. This did not suit Morgan, who
wanted to go to Washington to present
some claims for destroyed cotton and
was quite willing TO travel at government
expense.

said Morgan. when l went into the
war. had $4,000 in gold in a bank in
Selma. When came back from the
war, found that my gold had given
place to $4,000 in Confederate money.
With that $4,000 bought half a box
of tobacco. With some of the tobacco
secured coffee and sugar and shoes for
my family, and the rest of it went for II
shOtes. l kept those shotes until they
were fat enough to kill, and now have
more meat than any other man in Dallas
county. When ! 60 to Washington, gen
eral, want you to put a guard around
my smokehouse."
General" replied Macarthur laughing
ly, you had better go home and guard
the smokeh0use yourself, and, by the
way" he added, "the restriction against
your practice of the law will be remov-
ed"
Senator Morgan went back to his fam
lily and his plow, and he never heard any
thing of the order from that day.--Wash-
ington Post.

THE SECRET OF CLAIMS.
A Ghost That HOvers About an An
cient Scottish Castle.


"The old manor houses and castles
throughout England" said the posted
man, have innumerable stories of ghosts
which the old colored 'nammes' used to
call 'hants.' attached to them. The most
famous Of them all Is perhaps the one
connected with Glamis castle, the coun-
try seat of The earls of Strathmore, in
Forfarshre. This is the most ancient in
habited castle Of Scotland, although, of
course little of the original structure still
survives. 1t was here that Macbeth one
Of the minor kings OF Scotland, murdered
Duncan, and the principal scenes Of
Shakespeares Macbeth are laid within
md without the castle walls. 1t came
into the hands of the Lyon family, the
present owners, about 1871, and from
then on long series of tragedies marked
the progress of that family.
"The ghost that hoyers about Glamls
Is mysterious one, and the exact char
acter Of the manifestations Is little
known, but the point that makes 1t of
thrilling public interest is tho well known
fact that there Is family secret In the
Lyon family which only three living peo-
pie share at the same time-the holder of
the title, the heir apparent, II he has at
tained his majority, and the factor of the
estate. Why the latter shares in the Sc
cret is not the least part Of the mystery.
"On the day before the heir apparent
attains his twenty first birthday-or, II
the then earl be sonless, the heir pre-
sumptivs-he is solemnly initiated into
the mystery. The opening of some hid.
den room or passage is connected with
this initiation, and this has given rise to
legend in Scotland that certain Earl
Bearde Of pnst times played q game Of
cards with the devil in propria persona
lost the game and his soul at the same
time, and the sealed chamber in Glamis
is the one wherein the game was played.
This is only one Of many stories which
purport to account for the mystery.
"As generation after generation has
been initiated into the dread secret it has
become widely known and advertised.
and it is said in England that more than
one Of the heirs, when on the eve of COM
Ing of age, has promised his friends and
cronies to reveal the mystery, but so far
no such promise has ever been kept, nor
has any factor Of the house ever proved
false to the trust reposed in him."-New
York Tribune.
