SAVED BY A GHOST.

Curious Story Of speeter and the
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.
1t is not often that we hear Of q
ghost saving a mans life. There is.
however, an instance, and 1t seems to
be tolerabiy well authenticated. and
materialists will hardly know how to
account for 1t. Here is the story. 1t
is Of the Yorkshire dales and of good
many years ago.
A clergyman whose duty lay in that
wild country, where a strong race Of
men and women lived principally on
bacon and oatcake, used to ride or
walk to visit the people. He had been
raising a subscription in time Of
scarcity and had to be out late at night
One evening on his outward journey
he suddenly became aware of figure
moving beside him, and in the gloam-
ing he recognized his brother, who had
died some time before. He was too
awestruck for words, and after keep
ing by his side for some distance over
the lonely moor the figure disappear
ed. He noted the time and the vision.
but nothing occurred to throw any light
upon IL
However. some years after he had
taken the duty at Jail in another part
of the country one of the prisoners ~
ing under sentence desired to make a
confession. After telling him Of lot
OF crimes he said: 81 wor very near
once taking your life. sir. 1t was in
that bad year, and heerd as how You
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. hid behind the big
powders OF the brown moor. saw
you coming up and waited TIL you
should be near enough. butsthat night
you were not alone"
This is a startling tale and the
stronger because the vision or what
ever 1t was was seen by two people.
The anecdote occurs in an article twen-
ty years ago in. Macmillan's Magazine

HURT WHEN A
PART OF HOUSE
FLOOR FALLS

Mrs. Henry Rodgers was Sc
verely injured late yesterday aft
ernoon when the east wall of the
two-story brick building on
Bridge avenue, formerly the pa
per mill, but now occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodgers, fell. Mrs.
Rodgers was sitting in a rocking
chair, watching the raging tor
rents which swept by almost be-
meath her window, when the wall
waved and tumbled. She was
thrown into the debris, and the
furnishings of the room tumbled
about her in a mass of wreckage.
She was pinned in the wreckage
but employees of the Rumely
plant nearby rushed to the scene
and Charles Carol rescued her
from her precarious position.
A broken ankle and torn and
strained ligaments of both limbs
,were suffered by the aged wom-
ian. She was reported as resting
comfortably at the home of a
sneighbor where she was taken,
after her home was ruined.
Practically everything owned by
Rodgers with the exception of two
COWS and small number of chickens,
twas destroyed by the river and the
storm of yesterday.
Sunday the high winds tore the iron
roof from the building, allowing the
water to ruin a large part of their
household furnishings. When the
building collapsed yesterday, practi-
cally all the remaining household
goods were ruined, either being brok-
en- or soaked with water. About one
half CT Rodgers chickens and ducks
are floating down the Whitewater
river, and his poultry loss will be
heavy.
Rodgers is optimistic, and says he
is better off than those people out in
Omaha" Neighbors are sheltering
the homeless couple. Rodgers is an
employee Of the Rumely company and
has occupied his home here for sew
eral months. He secured his wife
through an advertisement in the want
columns of the Palladium.
Cecil Killing, 81 North Fifth street
was among the volunteers in the af-
ternoon. In helping to save a large
number of chickens belonging to Mrs.
Henry Rodgers, the boy slipped and
fell. The current caught him and
threatened to carry him to the middle
of the river With the aid of a small
boat he manager to get out of the
stream. Killing was insensible for
half an hour before medical atten-
tion was given him. Several stitches
were necessary to close the wound
caused by being struck in the fore
head by floating box.

WEST ALEXANDRIA, o., March %.
Bert Coleman, division superintend-
emit of the Ohio Electric with ten of
his workmen have been marooned on
top of work car in eight feet of wa
ter since six o'clock last evening.
They are drenched to the skin, and
without food. All attempts to rescue
them have so far failed, but another
attempt will be made this evening to
get life line to them. 1t is planned
to draw them ashore with teams of
horses if the track will bear the
weight of the car. If the track is
washed out, they will be thrown into
the water and be forced to swim. They
want this attempt made and are will
ing to take their chances with the
water rather than starve on their sup
port. There seems to be no chance
that the water will go down.
At six o'clock Monday evening, the
men were repairing a damaged trolley
wire east of this city, when the big
levee broke. The water rushed about
the car, forcing those on ground to
mount the far. The water rose to
eight feet about them, and has main
tanned that place since then.
