Two Ghost Stories Bj CHARLES B. LEWIS <M. QUAD'. ICojiyriuht, 1894. by Charles B. Iy*'\vis.] On the public highway between Bloomfield and Nashville, Ind., a man named Jacob Wellman erected a roadside inn in the year 1866. The man had to run in debt to complete the honse, and two years after he opened it the place passed into the hands qf his crei 1 itors. One night, after he had become fitisflod that he must lose the place, Wellman hung himself in one of the bedrooms. He had a wife, but no children. After the funeral the wife went away to friends in Wisconsin, and the inn was closed until a tenant could be found. This occurred two months later,

FOUNT) HIM SITTING UP IN BED. but the landlord won hardly settled in the place when he was terribly upset by the discovery that ho had a ghost for a guest. Traveler after traveler complained t > him of hearing sighs and groans and lamentations at night. These sounds till emanated front the bedroom in which “old Wellman,” as he was generally called, had hanged himself. Within six weeks after the first complaint the inn was closed again. By l this time many stories had got abroad, j and the ordinary traveler refused to pnt up at the place. The second tenant, whose name 1 have forgotten, admitted that he and his wife had hoard curious noises, but being a hard headed man he would have staid on had not his custom fallen off to nothing. The third tenant, who took the inn after it had been closed for eight months, was a man from Akron, O., named George White. Ho had a wife and two children, and he declared that he would “lay” the ghost if he had to pull the house down over his own head, lie opened the place, advertised it as “The Haunted Inn” and for three mouths made money. People drove 60 miles to stop overnight with him. Parties of six, eight and ten men and women were made up, and tit midnight there would sometimes bo 20 people in the public parlor to listen for ghostly sounds. Nothing was heard to disturb or alarm any one, and as time passed on the stories began to die out. On the night of June 21, 1H71, I rode up to White’s inn, as it was called, on horseback. It was 0 o’clock, and just its 1 reached the inn it began raining. There were 14 other guests in the place, mostly teamsters and farmers. For the first six or eight weeks of his stay White had used the suicide room for u family bedroom, but tts no noises had been heard had then changed it back to a guest’s room. This was the room given mo for the night. I had never heard cf the ghost, nor did 1 know that White’s inn differed from any of the other roadhouses along the highway. 1 smoked a pipe in the office, chatted with White and some of the guests for awhile and went to bed without a suspicion of what had happened in the room. It was raining steadily and heavily, and I congratulated myself on having found such comfortable quarters and was sound asleep before 11 o’clock. My room was a front room on the second floor, with the office below it. In the office was an oltl fashioned clock. I had just arrived when it struck 1) and was in the office when it struck 10. I was in bed and asloep when it struck again, but something woke me up a few seconds before it began striking 12, and I counted every stroke. I lay there wondering what had aroused me when l heard a long drawn groan as of some one in pain. The noise was so close to me that I instinctively reached over to see if somo one had not crept onto the back side while I slept. I was net a bit frightened or nervous. When I heard the noise a second time, 1 argued that the guest in the next room must be ill or talking in his sleep. The next sound was a movement under my lied, and 1 own to being startled. It might be a dog, or it might be a man, and though there was no fear of personal violence in that quiet inn the idea of something until r the bed was it test on the nerves, i was trying to remember just where 1 had placed the matches when there came a sound as of some ono sobbing with grief, and before it had died away I was out of bed and had a match in my trembling lin-

gers.

1 frankly admit that when I had struck a light and looked under the bed ami around the room and found nothing I was frightened. This feeling soon turned to disgust, however. I had made a ride of 40 miles that day, and being overtired and nervous hud imagined the whole thing. After making myself believe this was the case 1 blew oat the light ami got hack into bed, but not over five minutes had passed when I heard the same noises again. I was not frightened this time. I got up, struck a light and went into the hall and knocked at the door of the next room, sure that the man occupying it was ill. To my surprise, he promptly called out, “Come in!” and when I entered it was to find hint sitting up in bed and frightened half to death. He had heard the same noises, and being posted as to “old Wellman’s” ghost was greatly npset by the occurrence. He returned with me to my room, and for half an hour we sat on tsie bed with the light burning and lis-

tened to the queer sounds. Then wo became so frightened that we awoke the landlord, and in rousing him we turned out most of the guests. All who came heard the noises, and though there was a good deal of ('huffing about “the ghost” there was a mystery which could not bo explained away, and the doings of that night worked the down-

fall of the inn.

All the stories received a fresh start, travelers again avoided the place, and within the year White had to close up. The house stood for several months and was then torn down and the materials used to construct a farmhouse 10 miles away. The men who demolished the inn found nothing to explain the mysterious sounds, but they did not look for the cause. I ant satisfied that in the weatherhoarding there was a crevice or knothole, anil that, wliett the wind blew from a certain direction and with the requisite force it moved the loose end of a board or lath or splinter in the hollow between the walls. This movement produced a grating sound which at night could be distorted into almost any other sound. I certainly heard, or fully believed that I heard, sighs, groans and sobbings. The same was the case with oO other persons, and yet the cause and effect were no doubt to be reasonably explained. They were not, however, and for this reason a thriving business was I broken up, teuniits driven away and j hundreds of people made believers in

! the supernatural.

In thecas-' of the second house I shall not fix its location, as it is today occu pied by its owner, who would naturally ! object to the notoriety attached. I will tell you, however, that it stands in the suburbs of a western city, and in the year IKTtl was a couple of miles beyond tlii! corporate limits and was built for and occupied by a young farmer and gardent r named Prescott. When Prescott had Ixicn married a year, his wife ran away from him. Her action half crazed him. Ho followed her over the country in a vain pursuit, and when he returned home lie refused to hold any inlereourso with relatives or neighbors and for two years did not step foot off the place. As he did no work, things went to ruin, and about the time his relatives appealed to the law to have Prescott adjudged insane and taken care of he settled the matter by shooting himself. He had been dead a week when the body was discovered. It was several months before the property was put through the courts and the house occupied by a brother named Oscar Prescott, who had a wife anil three children. He was employed m the frciKhthuuso of it railroad, and though there was considerable gossip about ghosts and spooks he moved into the house and smiled in contempt fur all such talk. Within six months, however, he moved out again. The wife and children whispered of uncanny things, hut Oscar h-d other excuses. Ho sold the place to a man named Baker, and after a few months Baker sold it to a man named Hines. I give you the names because, as a reporter, 1 hunted up the records. Hittes was a wood engraver who did an occasional job for the paper on which I was employed, and I thus came to know him. When the property was divided, the house and half an acre of ground were parceled off together. Hines was a poor man and could only make a first payment of a few hundred dollars. He hud a wife and one child, tho latter being a boy about 8 years old. The family had occupied the house about six weeks when Mrs. Hines was thrown into a terrible fright one afternoon as she sat sewing. It was in summer, with doors and windows open. The boy was asleep on the lounge and tho house quiet when Mrs. Hines heard some otto walk into tho front hall and go up stairs. From where she sat she could not see the stairs, but after her first shock of surprise she laid dowu her work and went up to face the iu-

WK UUSIIEI) IN WITH A LIGHT. truder. Tho fact of her doing so is proof that she was a nervy woman. She told me personally, ns she told several others, that she was positive about tho steps in the hall and on the stairs, and she was therefore considerably dismayed when a close search of the house failed to reveal the presence of a third person. Her husband joked her about day dreaming, and after a hit she came to the conclusion that her imagination had played her false. Five days later, how ever, while in tho garden at 4 o’clock one afternoon, she sent the boy into the house ami up stairs on an erraud. After two or three minutes she heard him seream out and fall, and when she rushed in to investigate he lay in her bedroom in an unconscious condition. When revived, he declared that ho had entered the room to find a strange man sitting on a chair, and that the man had threatened him with a club. Curious as you may think it, he gave a faithful description of tho^Presoott who had sui-

cided.

The day following the above occurrence Hines related the particulars to tho city editor of our paper and to two or three reporters. We “guyed” him, of course, and when he declared his belief that tho house was haunted we had a hearty laugh at his expense. In a joking way wo asked hint to keep us posted u to future niaiiifostatious. and all of

us were considerably taken aback when he made another report within a week. Hines was a man of good sense, and his wife was a woman not easily frightened. On the night of the third day after the boy's adventure the weather Mu rued so cool that doors and windows were closed. At half past 10 o’clock, the boy being asleep in his room off the family bedroom and Hines and his wife making ready for bed, some one opened the front door and came walking tip stairs and passed into another boilrooTA. Man and wife sat there for a moment wondering if their ears had deceived them and then walked into the other room. They found no one. They searched tho house in vain, and they found every door and window securely fastened. Both argued that it was a case of imagination, hut at 3 o’clock in the morning the boy came running into the room and cried out that “that man” had come again. This time the unseen person went '-lumping down stairs and out of doors, though the front door still remaine' 1 fastened. Hines did not want to lose the money he had paid on the place and was anxious to have the mystery solved. He sent his wife and child away for a week, and I was instructed by the city ?ilitor to work on the case as a special Sunday article. This will satisfy you that we believed in Hines’ story—that is, we believed he told things as ho believed them to be. On the fifth or sixth night after tho boy’s seccAt fright I went out to stay all night with Hines. We sat up ami smoked and talked till daylight and heard nothing. On tho second night wo went to bud at 11 o’clock. I went to sleep almost at once, but he was nervous and ronmiued awake. At 12:60 he heard somo one open the kitchen door, cross tho room, enter the sitting room and pass into the front hall, as if to come up stairs. Ho aroused me just us the footsteps reached the stairs, und together wo listened to their farther advance. The" ascended the stairs slowly and laboriously, a step at a time, and on reaching the landing passed through the family bedroom into the boy’s room. He rushed in with a light, but made no discovery. We searched the house from top to bottom with mwesult. Doors and windows were fast, and no human Icing ci mid have entered. On the succeeding night there were three of us. and we sat in tho kitchen till 12:60. At that hour the ghost opened the front door and walked up stairs. On the third night there were four of us, and we sat in the family bedroom. At 1 o’clock the ghost came in by way of tho kitchen, as on the first night. One man might be deceived by noises, and I admit that two men might be carried away by their imagination. In this case four of us heard the sound, and it is absurd to say that we were frightened or mistaken. We stood at the head of the stairs ns tho “thing” came down the hail and up stairs, and though it had to pass between us to get into the room wo neither saw nor felt its presence. 1 wrote the story for our paper, and its publication doomed tho house. Hines moved ont, the house stood empty for a longtime, and I personally knew several men who refused to occupy it rent fre*'. When the place was bought by its present owner, the house was pretty wt 11 torn to pieces in the remodeling, and tho family deny having ever encountered any mystery. While I know I heard those footsteps, and while three others will make oath to the same thing, I scout the idea of a ghost and believe that could have been explained away after patient investigation. How to explain away what the liny saw is a different matter, as he knew nothing whatever of Prescott and had heard no talk to in.iko him nervous and timid. I give you the particulars us I worked them out for a four column article, ami you can place the ghost to suit yourself. Her I'Hri el Slntek Twelve. The embarrassment and the amuseI ment that a simple incident can somei times occasion were illustrated on a Market street electric car a day or two I ago. Tite car was filled, and one • f tho j passengers was an attractive young woman, who had a largo package on her

I kip.

Suddenly there was heard the peculiar bur-r-r that tho old stylo of clocks make u.s a warning that they are about to sound the hour. The young woman almost leaped from the seat, colored to | a bewitching crimson and further attracted an nudesired attention by a half smothered exclamation. In another instant the musical tones of a bell were heard, and the distressed young woman excitedly gathered the package to her bosom, as does a mother in attempting to silence the cries of a child. One time she seemed to lie on the verge of throwing the package ont of the window. Meanwhile the clock, which was on the hour of 12, continued to toll out the numbers with painful exactness and slowness. By the time the strokes had reached a half do-.'.en every person on tho car was laughing, and before the last strike was delivered tin* holder of the timepiece had recovered herself control, and aftt r a brief battle for dignified composure had given herself up to a full share of the gi nernl enjoyment.—Louisville Courier Journal.

WEST VIRGINIA FOR PROTECTION. Three Iltiii<!r«»'l Wars Ago This Toliry Wh» Horn on Virginia Soil. The question of frolcctioii for wool and manufactures thereof seems to have occupied the attention of the lawmakers in the American colonies it: tho very beginning of their history. As early ns 1600 tho colonists of Jamestown, Va., were provided with sheep, which did not increase very rapidly in consequence of tin ir destruction by wolves, so that in 1648, 611 years after their first introduction, the number of sheep in the whole colony of Virginia was only 8,000. The first evidence of government protection for wool was in an enactment passed in 1657, setting forth that no sheep be transported out of the colony except upon such penalties as may be thought tit by tho governor and the council, and in 1662 Virginia, by a statute, not only prohibited the exportation of wool, but offered a bounty as an encouragement to tho raising of sheei and the establishment of woolen manufactures by offering live pounds of tobacco (at that time Virginia currency) for every yard of woolen cloth made in the colony. Thus protection was born on Virginia soil. Tho principle of protection to American industries was again recognized in 1664, when, with a view to diversifying industries, the general assembly of Virginia, at the public expense, established in each county looms for weavers. In 1668 a law was passed for the purpose of better converting wool, flax and hemp into clothing. The commissioners of the county courts were given authority to build houses for tho instruction of poor children in the art of spinning and weaving. And to further promote these objects laws were enacted in 1682 imposing heavy penalties upon the exportation of wool, mid for the encouragement of the working up of wool into cloth a bounty of six pounds of tobacco was provided for every pirsou making a yard of woolen cloth, or linsey woolscy, throefouiths of a yard wide, and for every dozen pairs of men’s or women’s woolen or worsted hose a bounty of 12 pounds of tobacco was offered. The price of wool was fixed at 8 pi"*o per pound for fleeces, washed before shearing. In 1687 Virginia passed an act for the encouragement of domestic manufactures, including those from wool, which was rejected by the king as hostile to English interests, for in her colonial policy England was always selfish and cruel—a sow that devoured her own litter. iM-gro uaniteu. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 21.—Wilson Woodley was hanged here yesterday. He was one of the conspirators in the Grant murder near Montgomery last spring. There were seven negroes in tlie conspiracy.
