ghost i'm the House Of Commons who
Is a very unhappy sort Of creature,
wandering about from room to room
in a most melancholy maener and
moaning pitiully all the time. It's
eyes are Of remarkable brightness
but it never looks up or before It,
keeping its gaze riveted upon the
floor. It's face Is a deathly white.
and silver flame shines like a halo
round It's head as it pursues its
mournful course with the palms OF
its hands extended and parallel with
the gonud So at all events say
they who claim to have seen the
specter
Even n prime minister, the second
Earl Grey, declared that he saw
ghost in Parliament and he was
without doubt terribly upset at the
apparation The Earl was by no
means a superstitions man, but he de-
clarod that while he was delivering
his great speech on the introduction
saw deaths head appear right In
front Of him II came for a few sec
onds clearly and distinctly and then
faded away into nothingness. What
renders the story still more remarka-
p is the certain fact that the
Earl's daughter, Lady Georgina, her
self declared that she saw much the
same thing, and she told her story
to her father before she was aware
of his own.
Another authenticated story Is of
ghost which was so well acquainted
with Parliamentary procedure as to
be able to vote in the Division lob
by. An important measure was be
fore the House, and five whips were
sent out implorlng members to be in
their places and take part in the
critical division winch would take
place One NJ p. who was abroad
and very unwell at the time, replied
by telegram that he certainly would
be present A little after midnight
the division was duly taken, and the
tellers at the door Of the lobby de-
clared emphaically that they saw
the gentleman in question, and they
therefore counted his vote Il was
discovered, however, the next day
that the number of votes recorded by
the clerks was one fewer than those
recorded by the tellers, and this one
was of that particular M. P. And
there was the solemn fact that when
the vote was taken he was lying dead.
The ghost Of Mr. Spencer Perceval,
who was assassinated IN the House
by the madman Bellingham, when he
was chancellor of the exchequer is
said occasionally to haunt the House.
and i'm the story Of Mr.. Percivals
life written by his grandson, there
Is a most circumstantial account OF a
dream dreamt by Mr.. John Williams
Of Cornwall a few nights before the
tragedy, wherein he three times,
with waking intervals, saw the mur.
der take place just as it eventually
did. Mr.. Williams was so much
alarmed and impressed that It was
with difficulty that he was persuad-
ed not to go up to London and tell
Mr. Perceyal the story, as he wished
to do. About the authenticity of
this remarkable dream there is abso-
utely no doubt whatever.
Surely If any ghost has a right to a
place i'm Parliament it is that Of old
Guy Fawkes, and he has duly attend
ed there, though latterly he appears
to have become sick of the proceed
ings, for it was on November A. 1852,
that he last turned up. That was
when the Commons first took posses
sion Of their new House.

UP-TO-DATE CONDUCTOR
Who Was Determined to Make His
Tallies Agree.

A good story Is going the rounds Of
the offices of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company concerning the won.
derful presence Of mind displayed re-
Gently by a new conductor on one OF
the companys trolley cars. This par
Ocular car was bowling up the Av-
enue recently when IL was hailed and
boarded by a company inspector.
The official hurriedly counted the
passengers In the car and found that
there were nine. Then he cast his eve
up TO the register, which, IN these cars,
is fastned to the woodwork above the
door, and found that there had been
only eight fares rung up. He disclosed
his Identity to the new conductor and
called attention TO the discrepancy
Slowly and painfully the new hand
counted over his passengers and then
scanned his register.
"BegorHa, an you're roight. air" he
said. and promptly stopped the car.

passengers In an authoritative manner.

KENTUCKY WTCHCRAFT.
What a Scraped Turnip Did for a
Girl.

Girl.
A Kentucky woman had q daughter
who was i'm love with q South Carolina
youth whom the mother hated because
e came from another State a quite suf-
fcient reason I'm that part of Kentucky
where She lived. AS the girl threat
ened to elope, the mother took her to
Old Nance, a witch Now for some
reason possibly connected with an evil
or unfortunate past. the witch hates
AL marriages, and viii do anything to
ling girls was left with her The
witch according to the story told af-
terward by the girl scraped a turnip
which she gave to the girl to eat
Hardly had the girl tasted 10 when her
nose began to pain her, and soon it had
grown far around upon her cheek all
most to her ear She was taken home,
and now comes the strange part, for
there are scores Of people I'm the town
who are ready to swear that they saw
the hideously distorted organ. Her
lover deserted her, between disgust,
ridicule and horror Again she was
taken TO the witch, and this time ate
willingly of the scraped turnip where
upon her nose returned to its normal
shape and position. But the witch
warned her that If she ever tried TO
marry the same mishap would befall
her again
Similarly well authenticated Is the
case Of Carr McCordle's bull. On the
occasion of one of the witch's rare Wis
its to the town the bull undertook to
chase her. She turned upon the ami
NAL and looked It i'm the eye with so
fierce a glare that IL turned tail. That
night it went mad and rushed below
ing about the pasture, plunging into
rocks and bushes until IL finally wedg-
ed itself so tightly between two trees
that the utmost efforts of McCordle
and his friends to get it ont We're un-
availiug What is more, IT'S bones are
still there between the two trees. No
body has dared 10 touch them.

A COLORED HAREM
Forty Girls Share the Joys and SOr-
rows of SenOr Juan DiOS MOntez.

Near Walsenburg, Col, there lives a
rich Mexican with a little kingdom Of
his own. The name Of this emulator
of the Sultan Of Turkey is Senior Juan
Dios Montez. Within his household he
has 40 beautiful Mexican girls, all his
slaves
Mr. j. r. IIilian, a lawyer Of Walsen-
burg, has made complaint to the gov
ornor. and says the laws Of Colorado
are being violated by Montez and his
people In addition to having more
wives than the law allows Montez is
head Of a strange religious sect.
Mr.. Kilan, during his visit to the
Montez premises, saw many huge
crosses which were borne up the noun
tainside some 200 yards and return.
This work was done as penance, and
every member of MOntez's belief Is sup
posed at some time during every
month to carry this huge cross up the
mountain and return. Many members
of the sect fog themselves monthly
This custom Of flagellation is practised
by both men and women, and is car
ricd on In earnest Blood is frequently
seen flowing from the wounds made by
the lash
1t is said that the old grandee's pow
er is such that when he selects the
daughter of some humDle householder
as an addition to his menage none
dare oppose him. In this way many
young Mexican loses a sweetheart
and it is a wonder that some VOWS
Of vengeance against Montez have not
been carried out.
Like the Sultan himself, 1t Is said
Montez has commissioners who are al
ways on the lookout for the most beau
t.ful Mexican girls, MOntez owns
water rights and lands t0 such an
extent that every person in the vicinity
is apparently dependent upon him, II
is said a formal complaint will soon
be made against him and his "harem"

same amount until they can secure
sufficient men to run a part OF the
mill This mill is medium size, and as
1t is situated away from the larger
plants, it affords better chance to
secure non-union men. The men who
are on strike there will stand firm, and
show no disposition to give in, as many
are from this vicinity and are strong
union men, and have a strong organiza-
ton. Operating this mill with nom
union men will be a hard proposition
for the trust people, and It is not gen.
orally thought they will be able to
make the venture a success.

OF bodies OF non-union men coming in

But none have materialized in any

COLLISION ON B. & 0.
Freight Crashes Into the Rear OF
"a Gravel Train, Smashes Caboose
and Wrecks Engine.

Gravel Train, Smashes tabOOse
and Wrecks Engine.
About clock yesterday afternoon
there was rear-end collision on the b.
&, o. about one and one-half miles west
of Warrington, that delayed the pas
senger train leaving Grafton at 1890
D. m. and due here at 4:30 p. M, over
six hours.
There are two switches just west of
Warrington about half mile apart.
A gravel train was pulling in on the
western switch and was nearly clear Of
the main track. when freight that was
under orders to take the second or
eastern switch crashed into 1t. The
caboose Of the construction train was
smashed to splinters and the rear Of
the car next to IL was also badly dam
aged The occupants of the caboose
saw the danger in time to avoid in
jury.
The engine of the freight train was
deraiIed. turned across the tracks and
so badly wrecked that it could not be
removed by local appliances and the
wrecking outfit at Grafton was ordered
down. This arrived in something like
two hours and began the work of clear
ing the main line.
The engine was lifted over to the
switch track and the wrecked cars re-
moved. In six hours after the collision
the main line was cleared for traffic.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-08-23

The pilot, front truck and cab Of the
engine were demolished, yet no one was
seriously injured. as the freight was
slowing down at the time Of the coll
lision 10 take the second switch.
Gentlemen from Grafton who were
on the delayed passenger train. told a
Register representative that they had
not thought II possible that a car could
be so entirely smashed 60 kindllng
wood as was the eaheose OF the gravel
train. The engine OF the freight train
will be taken TO the shops for recon
struction. No blame is attached to the
officials of the road.
