ENGINE DCNS A SHIRTWAiST
When Train Wrecks Trunks
of Ten Women.

Trenton, N. J.-There was weeping
and wailing when ten women in Phila-
delphia and other cities further away
presented checks for trunks which were
to have been shipped from here the 9TH
er day. AS Southern express dashed up
to the station platform a baggageman
wheeled a truck containing the trunks
along to get in position for the train fol-
lowing.
A loose wheel on the truck fell off and
truck and trunks dropped directly in
front of the flyer. There was crash,
a whirl and as the train receded in a
cloud of dust innumerable dresses, pet
ticoats and articles of lingerie fiuttered
along the track.
The engineer brought his train to a
stop about two miles past Trenton and
backed up to find what he had struck. To

The luxuriant flowers of the oleander
tree decked the city, great live oaks
beautified the streets. 1t had the aspect
not only of a prosperous port, but also
bore evidence that this was a favorite
resort. The storm laid low wealth and
beauty. 1t came up in the early morn
ing, with a strong gale from the north
west, which brought the waters of the
bay up to the level of the wharves. Ere
long the wind, now from the northeast,
the water crept up among the business
houses. Now waves came dashing with
fury from the gulf side. Dwellers in the
rickety tenements sought refuge in the
solid business houses; alarm awoke,
but as yet there was no panic. By the
middle of the afternoon the waters,
spreading fast, all business was stopped
and people went home to look after their
families. At five o'clock the wind was
blowing "a miles an hour, and now the
panic was in full force; from this on to
seven, when resignation to the inevita-
BILE took the place Of frenzy among many.
The wind came from any and all direc-

no reference to the matter. Shortly
after he went out Stebbins got scare
that made his hair rise. He was almost
leaning on the relay box when voice
shouted "Hello!" almost in his ear. A
rapid conversation followed, but he was
too frightened to take note of what was
said. AS he was afraid of being laughed
at, he kept his own counsel until next
day, when he and Mr.. Brown heard the
same voice. They then compared notes
and quietly called in the head lineman.
The lineman thought telegraph wire
had become crossed with telephone
line, but this proved not to be the case,
and +. w. Stanyan, the general superin-
tendent of the road. who has had 20
years experience with telegraph equip
ment, was notified. He made a careful in
vestigation, and was at loss to account
for the phantom voice. While he was
making his Investigations he heard two
voices emanating from the box They
spoke of different subjects and had moth
ing in common. Part of the time whole
sentences were plainly spoken and other
times only word or two was distin-
guishable.
The story got about town and many
persons have listened to the SOUNDS.
Among the number were many spiritual
lists, who are of the opinion that the mes
sages are sent from another world. Ex-
pert electricians believe that the sounds
are the result of some undiscovered law
in the field of electricity and that this
law can be worked to advantage when
the cause is discovered.

ELECTRIC GHOST"

PHANTOM VOICE FROM TELE::

CLERK BADLY FRIGHTENED.
Citizens of Barre, VT, Greatly Aroused
by Mysterious Sounds-Latter
Laid to New Law in Field
Of Electricity.

Barre, Vt.-This city, usually staid
and phlegmatic, is greatly excited over
an electric ghost" which has made
its appearance at the railroad station
and refuses to depart. 1t has attracted
the attention of several prominent rail-
road men and electricians and each has
a theory for a series of sounds that still
mystify the Investigators.
The ghost" made its appearance one
night recently when c. A. Brown, clerk.
was alone in the Office containing the
telegraph instruments, safe and various
articles of furniture. He was quietly at
work balancing his books when he
heard voice over his shoulder. Several
words of French were spoken and Mr..
Brown looked up. No one was in the
room, and the clerk investigated every
nook and Granny to ascertain whence
the voice came. He was unsuccessful,
but while he was hunting he again heard
the voice, this time in English, but in
distinct. He located it, and chill crept
up his spine as he made the uncanny dis
covery that the words came from the
metal relay box connected with the tele-
graph instrument. The instrument was
working at the time and the clerk ad-
mits to having been well frightened.
For five minutes the one-sided con-
versation was kept up, and Mr.. Brown
made out enough to understand that
some one was talking of a business deal.
Answers to questions put by the voice
could not be heard, and altogether it
sounded like telephone conversation.
However, as no telephone was in that
part of the building, the sounds were not
connected with that instrument
The clerk was so upset that when A.
A. Stebbins, his chief, came in he made
