We have never heard OF single case

Philadelphia, Penn, March "A score
of uncanny ghost stories having to do
with a vision of 1oVeliness clad in

early this morning when Miss Mary
RICHTER. champion golf player of the
swagger Mannheim club, and a beauti'
full girl of 20, living in Germantown,
was found wandering on Germantown

had evidently left her home an hour pre-

The. credulous among the residents of
Germantown have been filled with terror
of late by the stories of ghosts stalking
about the streets. vacant lots and GENE

discussed.
The two drivers, whose vocation takes
them out at very early morning hoars,
had read and heard OF the aieged
ghostly rambles, but they were not
credulous. They belonged to that class
that looked upon the yarns as the result
of imagination or the result OF a practi-
cal joker's efforts to fill the residents or
Germantown with fear. SO when they
