ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT.
Papyrus Discovered Containing Lost
Ode by Poet Timotheus.

~
In an ancient mummy case dating
back to the age of Alexander or ear
lier, Herr Borchardt has found at
Abusir, Egypt, a papyrus roll con-
tanning an ode of T~imotheus, the
Greek poet and musician. The indie
pendent chronicles the details ofthe
discovery as follows; "By the head
Of the buried man lay the remains of
a small leather purse, a sponge, a
rusted piece of iron, a bit ofwood and
a thin roll Of papyrus. With infinite
pains this roll was opened, and, when
broken, pieced together. 1t proved
to be 43 inches long and contained
five columns of Greek writing. The
first column was in a ruinous state,
the second was not complete, but the
three last were intact and gave the
concluding verses of a poem, in which
by good luck the poet speaks of him
self by name. 1t was at once clear
from the theme that we had here a
portion of The Persians,' a famous
nome of Timotheus, of which two or
three brief fragments were already in
our anthologies."

THE CAR DIDN'T STOP
And the Driver Had Close Cali-M hat
lie Said to the MOt0rman.

The man who drives the New
England Bakery wagon had close
call from street car this morning.
He stopped his team on Beverly
avenue when the car came along.
The horse began to do some prancing
stunts, and instead of holding on to
him the driver let 60, and planted
himself in the middle of the track
to stop the car. The car was run
ming at good rate. The motorman
slowed down but didn't stop. The
driver evidently expected him to.
He just had time to roll off the track
and avoid being struck. The horse
behaved very we'll meanwhile.
What the driver said to the motor
man is the most interesting part of
the story, but it wont do to print.

No Pool Selling at Races.

Cleveland, July 2S.-Clevelanders
were treated to the novel sight of a
grand circuit trotting meeting with
out pool selling, the courts having de-
elared that it would not be allowed.
This was the result OF the crusade
started by Mayor Golf. of Chenille,
il whose limits the Cleveland track is
located. In consequence Of the alb
sence OF betting the crowd was one of
the smallest that has attended the
local meeting in years, while the fields
in the several races were also smaller,
III spite of the fact that the entry list
had been unusually large.

CONTRACT LET
For the Trolley Line to Gran.
vile on West Side.

Dean and Hoffman Will do Grading
Union Utility Company Will do the
Rest of the Work-NeW Bridge may
/, s.be Built by County and Trolley Com
pany.]
Dean and Hoffman will do the grad
ing for the trolley line from West Nor
gantown to Granville, The Union
Utility company will place the ties,
lay the rails and ballast the track.
They are now stringing the wires
which will conduct the power.
Mr.. e. NJ. Grant was asked today
about rumor that there was some
trouble over right Of way through
West Morgantown. He stated that
there was nothing in the report. 1--WE
will use the pike from the bridge to
our road leading to the brick yard and
90 down that"
He was asked about the bridge
which will cross the river in order to
make connections with the line in
town. He said that the company had
not decided the details in connection
with this. 1t is probable that either
the railroad company or the county
court will be asked to join with the
trolley company in building the
bridge.
The old suspension bridge is getting
into such shape that it will have to
be replaced with something better.
In case the court will join with the
trolley company combination bridge
for wagons and cars will be built.
This may be done at much less ex-
pense to the county than would be in
Cured in case they decide to 90 ahead
and build an independent bridge for
us. 1t may be that the railroad COM
pany will offer better inducements to
the trolley company to combine with
it than the county may concede.
In any event it will be some time
before the final and definite decision
is made In the meantime the trolley
line will be built to Granville this
summer. The rails have been ordered
and are expected as soon as they can
be made.

TWO CENTS
GHOST STORY EXPLAINED.
Four well Known People Hide
in the Library.
story Started by Accident Then Ii
Was too good to Explain Waterman
said to have been party to the hoax
How it was Worked.

HOW III was worked.
The ghost story has been solved.
There were fourl ghosts atleast and
probably more in the library. They
were on one occasion, at least, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Hough, Mrs Hattie Hop
kins. and Mr.. Crane.
For some time II. Hoffman who was
night Waterman has been relating
thrilling ghost stories that In some
cases badly ratified those who heard
them.
One man after listening to the stor-
les saw ghost come out on the upper
reaches of the library and fly through
space over to the tower. Hesaid that
he would take oath that he saw it do
this.
Nothing can make him believe that
this was imagination. He AYERS
that he knows what he saw and don't
want any one disputing his word.
Robert Jenkins said that he did not
believe any thing about it until his
boy saw and heard some strang things
in the library He says that the boy
never told him a lie and that he be-
lieves what the boy says.
Other interesting and hair raising
stories have been told. They all grew
out of one thing, and it began as an
accident.
One night young fellow happened
to be locked in without knowing that
the Library was closed. He was try
ing to get out when some one saw him.
This started the flrst story. Others
added to it until finally the Waterman
is said to have become a party to the
deception.
The party named above besides
others may have been in the Library.
They did various stunts to startle
those who might see them and aided
by the yarns told by the Waterman
they worked up rather respectable
thrill over the town and state.
Most Of the papers in the state have
published the ghost story with in
cendiary headlines. They now have a
chance to publish the explanation OF
the story.
Hoffman is at his home on short
vacation. Since he went away, the
matter has been sifted to the bottom
by outsiders and Crane confessed TO
his part in it and to those who were
with him.
1t may be that when Hoffman re-
turns he will have bad quarter Of an
hour explaining matters to those in
authority.
The Library is now being guarded
by matter of fact young man who
says that he has seen nothing out of
the way and that the ghost which
tackles him had better be prepared to
do some tall scrapping
