Reports still continue to come in OF
the destruction caused by the severe
storm, early this month, among the
weirs of Hancock county, and the great
loss to the owners and fishermen. Per-
haps the greatest sufferer is John l..
Stanley e. Sons, of Manset, at their
Sorrento weirs, who lost upwards OF
1000 bushels. Besides the damage to the
weirs much was also caused by the
breaking and tearing away of the
weirs by the wind. 1t was one of the
most destructive storms in the vicinity
for 30 years, the fishermen say, ard
another is not looked for within the
same length of time. In some cases
the weir owners saved a part of their
twine and netting of which the weirs
were made. and can use a portion of it
in rebuilding next year.

THE MISSISSIPPI cHocTAws.
Adept 6y.Laws--Will Have Lobby
at Mashinuton.

at Washington.
The Mississippi Choctaw Associa
tlon convened in this city Saturday
and took another step toward perma
neut organization by adopting a con
sdtution and bylaws There were
present about fifty Mississippi Choc-
taw claimants II is estimated that
there are in all 10000 Choctaw claim
ants and the association is Of the
opinion that Of these 10000 claims at
least 10000 possess merit
II Is the object of the association
to have a lobby at Washington dur.
ing the next session of congress to do
what can be done toward securing
legislation that will admit them to
citizenship.
The ratification OF the supplemental
treaty on Sept % is regarded by the
Choctaws as favoring their chances
for citizenship. The meetings are
held behind closed doors and It is i'm
possible to publish any news concern
ing their organization only as they are
willing to give out.
They have issued another call for
a meeting Saturday, oct A. which
reads:
"To All Mississippi Choctaws;
you are aware Of the fact that the
Choctaw Nation has used every means
both foul and fair to take from us the
rights which we have in the treaties
between the United States govern
ment and our people. You also know
that they have almost accomplished
their purpose. and unless something
is done, and that at once. our rights
will be swept from us. and for that
reason leading Mississippi Choctaw'
have organized the Mississippi Choc
taw Association, with headquarteri
at Ardmore, I. r. We want all tha
have cases that should be won on theii
merits TO meet at the Noble buildinl
in Ardmore next Saturday, OcJobe

will be made known TO all member
thereof Help us to spread the new
everywhere. Tell your Mississippi
Choctaw neighbors and write you
d Mississippi Choctaw relatives, an,
don't fail to be here If you want you

AN uNQUlET SPIRIT.
The Mysterious Light That For Year,
Haunted Cape Noir.


For many years on Cape Noir, the
western point of Maria, n strange
light was seen, dancing and moving
about In the most unaccountable man
ner. At one moment IL would rise like
a column of fire into the air, and at an
other time IL would fall like a meteor.
Then il would seem to leap over the
point and drop into the sea, afterward
appearing again in the same spot on
the hillside. The habitants tell this
story about II:
In the time OF the war for the pos
session of Canada French vessel,
pursued by an English warship,
steered its course into the bay at this
point for refuge. A boat was lowered
from the side Of the richly laden mer-
chantman, and in this thirteen men
swiftly rowed TO the shore. Their OBJ
ject was 60 secrete a chest of gold
which they had brought with them. On
reaching the, point they drew lots TO
see which OF the men should remain
TO guard the treasure. The one TO
whom the lot fell was forced 10 swear
a solemn oath, by land and sea, by
night and day, by the ruler OF the
neither world, that he would be faithful
TO the trust through life, unless re-
lieved by his returning comrades, and
even after death would haunt the spot
should no one come 10 take his place.
says a writer in the Era.
TO secure the fulfllment OF this vow
bis wicked associates then and there
put him TO death and buried him with
the treasure. The ghostly light was
supposed to be the spirit Of the muir
dered man, and many persons who
tempted by the hope of recovering the
treasure, yentured into the haunted
spot fed in terror and told blood
curdllng stories OF the horrible phan
toms and frightful sights which they
had witnessed. The light is seen no
longer. Perhaps some adyenturer
bolder than the rest succeeded in dis
covering the gold, carried IL off and
thus gave rest 10 the unqulet spirit.

Notes of tie Kirmess.

For the success of the recent Kir-
mess the Teachers Benefit society are
largely indebted to the South Scran-
ton contingent which took part, and
especially to Mrs. Thomas H. Spruks
of Prospect avenue, who worked night
and day to render the affair a sue
cess financially.
Mrs. Spruks is one of those amiable
ladies' who are always ready to assist
others, and she is at all times ready to
respond to the call of charity or a
worthy cause.
She delights in well doing and to
tighten the burden of the poor is with
Mrs. Spruks a labor of love- Her
kindly Christian disposition has be-
come generally known and there is no
one we know of who possesses more
completely the respect and esteem of
the community than the lady insques-
tion.
The little Heintz children also added
to the success of the affair." but every
one from this side did well and there
fore it is hardly fair to particularize.
