 Ever since HaIlowe en night the s1un1ber of Anson P. Grey of 49 Black Rock avenue has on many occasions been disturbed by mysterious noises at midnight. MT. Grey who is assis- tant gate tender at the Block Roel: crossing. is not a believer in the SUI pernatural and consequently the re- T1S-- considerable uneasin ess.s About mid :. night he is usually aWakened by a series of rappings on his chamber window. He makes a tour but finds nothing. HeIh sooner returns to his chamber than the knockings are re- peated- Last night he changed the l bed to another part Of the room. About midnight he was awakened by stones falling on the piazza. Then he heard a demoniac laugh More stones came and then all was quiet. MT. Grey then notified the police. For several nights policemen in plain Eclothes were on guard but they saw nothing. But just as soon as the off cers left the noises began again By this time Grey was getting little un easy Captain Birmingham began a personal conclusion that the eonc1u- sion that the ghosts were none } other than his adopted boy, Allie Full Ter and his own son Frederick MT. al proved that his conclusion was cor rect When the captain had Fred aud Allie closeted in @ room at police headquarters little Allie 'squea1ed'' and admitted that he did the knock ing at the window while Freddie peIt- 2 ed the stones against the building i, Freddie said that Allie had lot of books containing ghost stories and he 2 made up his mind to give his father } and grandmother a good scare. Suf- : flee to say they made good in4 their ! desire.

 The fire department has been sub ject to a great deal of criticism lately
 for using old hose which freduentl1 ' thought the breaks were caused by , the pressure of the engines when the nozzle was closed. There is no need :. to shut off pressure, for all the en.
