NEW YORK, November 5.-Firm-
ness Of specialties gave the stock
market an improved appearance to-
day, but leading rails, industrials and
utilities remained In the background
and showed little price change. Shares
Of Mullins Manufacturing. Coca Cola,
Celotex and Budd Manufacturing
were among the active features.
American Telephone. United States
Steel. Chrysler and Santa Fe we're all
about even. Consolidated Gas eased.
Transfers approximated $4,000
shares.
Among shares up fractionally TO
around 2 points to new highs for the
year were those of Celotex National
Department Stores. Wilson a. Co..
United States, McCrory and Coca
Cola Other gamers of as much in
cluded Burns Bros, Thompson & Star

sues as American Telephone, U. S.
Steel. Consolidated Gas, Santa Fe,
Union Pacific. N. Y Central. General
Motors. U. S. Smelling. Montgomery
Ward and Sears Roebuck registered
extremely small fluctuations.
A few of the distillery stocks re-
iected hopes for improvement in this
line along with the coming holidays
and a favorable vote on State prohi-
bition laws tomorrow. Building stocks
were mostly firm on prospects connect

Most of the ordinarily active stock
operators we're inclined to stand aside

him than when he had started. This, he
thought, was strange, as he could not under
stand how a man drunk as this one could
manage to keep ahead of fast walking horse.
He therefore urged his horse to . trot, going
faster and faster each step. Even then, to his
surprise, he saw that the distance between him
and the walking man In front was the same
rs when they had first started.
BY this time he realized that he was becom-
ing frightened. Either that strange acting OBJ
ject that kept persistently ahead Of him was q
ghost or his eyes were playing him trick.
In desperation he thrashed his horse into q
galop and tore down the road to catch the fel-
low at all hazards. But his efforts were in vain.
Finally he halted his horse and watched what
he knew now was a ghost disappear around a
bend in the road, swearing flercely as he went.
HE next morning the Cooneyite learned that
the body of a man, frozen to death, had
been discovered under an oak tree. It was the
same tree where the mans ghost appeared to
him the night before. From then on, whenever
the voice of this frozen man was heard at night,
as he Travelled up and down the road In front
of the old oak tree, all the wise folk in the coun-
try would take notice. They would I'LL the wood
box TO overhowing, close the house tight and
prepare for the bowling storm that was sure to
follow. The old mans appearance was warn
ing that never has yet been known to fah.
The natives Of "Cooney" not only stood in awe
Of the friendless old house, but they even went
so far as to keep entirely away from an humble
looking log cabin that once stood a short dis
tance of the road. Superstitious people Of that
time were well justified in their fear Of this
harmless-appearing abode. When the big frame
house became a soldiers hospital. the log cabin
close by was turned into q receiving place for
the hospitals dead. They were brought there
and prepared prior to burial in some soldiers
burying ground. As long as 1t stood after the
war Ii was, place to be avoided at all hazards.
Evening star., 1934-08-19

Many weird and supernatural sights md
sounds emerged from this little building. Head
less objects roamed the grounds around it and
balls Of fire were seen to drop from its upper
story window. roll across the lawn in the direc-
ton of the hospital and disappear. Even Ia
recent years this phenomenon has been OBJ
served! A young man late one night, homeward
bound from a visit to his sweetheart, passed
along the road in front of the old house. 1t had
been raining and the night was foggy. Sud-
denly he awakened from his dream Of pleasant
things to observe brilliant ball-shaped light
arise out of the lawn of the old house on his
left and lazly drift across the road in front
of him and disappear in the bushes.
Often strange sounds Of music could be heard.
They invariably occurred at night and arose
from under the trees on the lawn in front Of
the old mansion. It was there that the mill
tary bands often came to play for the sick and
the dying. Those ghostly concerts always ended
in dirges and at the conclusion the music In
variably floated down the road in the direction
Of some military cemetery.
The most remarkable thing about this long,
continued happening of ghostly events was that
none of them were witnessed or expert
enced by any Of the people who for many years
lived in the house. The man who owned it lived
there before the war and some Of his descend
ants have resided there ever since.
It was useless, however, even over the long
stretch of years. to try and convince any Of the
old-timers who lived in the neighborhood that
the old house was not haunted. Up to within
recent years shots fired by passersby on tho
road have been heard In the late hours Of the
night Incidentally, the following morning some
animal would be found missing from the barn
on the estate and would be located wandering
in the highway out 'front.'! That they were never
injured was probably due 10 fright on the part
of the startled marksman, aided by the darkness
Of the night. ...a.su

"He tTailed the man, but neper came
closer to him than when he started"

Past this old place armies have marched on
their way to battle Thousands of men have
encamped within its neighborhood, and, for o
considerable time, it was the pivotal point for
many war activities. Gen. Hancock used the
place for his headquarters and later on the
Federal Army turned the old house into hos
pital
When that was done, the house on the knoll
became q marked place among the supersti-
tious inhabitants living close by. But 1t was
not until after the smoke of battle had rolled
away and peace had descended upon the land,
that these people, particularly the colored ele-
ment began to hear and see things" in Its
vicinity. The report of one mysterious carry
ing-on around there led to another until 1t was
not long before the tale Of Ichabod Crane and
his "Headess Horseman" became q childs bed
time story in comparison with them.
1t was in the early 7os that a resident in
"Cooney" had an experience that kept him
talking the remainder of his days. Late one
night, he said, he went along the road in front
of the house. 1t was a cold, bitter night, the
snow covered the ground and the moon was
bright. As he hurried along feeling Of dread
passed over him He couldn't account for it
he had never experienced such sensation be-
fore. He shivered as he looked up at the FORE
boding old place, setting aloof on its knoll, halt
hidden In the gloomy shadows Of surrounding
trees. Instinctively, he touched up his horse,
passed quickly BY and felt very much renewed
that nothing had happened to him.
But his ease Of mind was Of short duration.
Not having Travelled that way from town for
some time, he had forgotten the old leaning
oak by the road which he was fast approach
ing It had been used sentinel station dur
ing the war just passed. 1t was clearly outlined
In the moonlight with its ponderous trunk
slanting upward and its limbs overhanging the
roadway. He remembered with shudder, that
from the biggest limb next to the ground, under
which he had to pass, deSerter had been
hanged.
He went forward and about to pass un-
der the tree, when his horse suddenly stopped.
Snorting with fright, the animal reared and at
tempted to bolt, but he succeeded in pulling 1T
down. As he did so, he caught sight OF the
dark figure Of q man as 1t arose from the
ground at the base Of the tree and made its way
of down the road He got good look at the
man in the moonlight and that the
stranger was very drunk The Cooneyite urged
his trembling horse forward to oyertake and
accoSt the man, but the stranger never stop
ped or even gave any sign Of recognition
Not unlike men In his condition, as he
walked away he began to swear and, the
farther down the road he went the harder he
cursed. His blasphemy directed mostly
against the cold.
The distance, the Cooneyite said, between
him and the stranger, as they went down the
road. was about 40 feet. He trailed the man q
hundred yards and saw that he was no closer to
