Connecting New Albany with Jeffersonvllle and Louisville is a branch of the Pennsylvania road known as the Dinkey line. Over this road the p.x?feng?r trains operated by the Pennsylvania company pass every thirty minute, and also at Intervils the Monon trains, which go from New Albany to Louisville over this line. Ssveral times during the past week the Pennsylvania trains have been signaled to stop at Stltes's station, located about two miles from New Albany. In each case the engineers and firamen have seen what appeared to be a man standing In the middle of the track frantically waving his hands. When the train . stopped nothing could be seen cf him, the figure disappearing as ir into the air. The Monon train has also been stopped In the same way. As this crossing Is not a flag station the trains would not stop unless flaggM In such a way as to give engineers the Impression that something was wrong. The crews all claim that It is an apparition. As they are all steady, well-known citizens, and not Inclined to t9 In the least fanciful.

they are believed by many people. Several men have been killed at that crossing. Whatever the explanation of the mystery the trains are often stopped. It is probable that the sudden disappearance of the alleged apparition may be accounted for by the fact that there is a big hole in the embankment near-by made especially by the ghost, and that he darts into it and pulls the hole in after him. New Albany Ledger. It should bo a source of pride to Mr. Brookshire's constituency, regardless of all party ties, to know that he is held in the highest esteem by both democrats and republicans In Washington. During a visit to Washington this summer one of our distinguished citizens, whose name it is not necessary to mention, was told by the Hon. Thomas R. Reed that the people of the Eighth Indiana district should return Mr. Brookshire to congress. Mr. Rend said: "Brookshire is one of the leading as well as most, faithful and impartial representatives in the lower house of congress." Coming, as this does, from the recognized leader on the republican side of the house, it adds double weight to the fact that Mr. Brookshire has reflected great credit, not only upon himself, but the district which he has the honor to represent. In the language of the distinguised Maine statesman, "Brookshire should be returned to congress" and he will be. Crawfordsville Review. A strange story is told in relation to the stoppage of three trains at Stitz's Station on Friday night. From some of the trainmen the reporter learns that as the trains approached the crossing the engineers or firemen saw what appeared to be a man standing in the middle of the track frantically waving his hands. The trains stopped, but when the men looked for the man who signaled he could not be found, disappearing as into air. Three times this was repeated, two P., C., C. & St. L trains and one Monon train coming to a halt. The crews claim it was undoubtedly an apparition. It is said this crossing and the Silver creek bridge are haunted, several men having been killed there. Later, one of the trainmen explained that a rock had fallen upon the track from a Monon train which passed, and which was hauling building stone, but if this is the case the rock would certainly have been removed. Whatever the occasion of the delay, those are the stories told. -Jeffersonvllle News. Messrs. Chandler and Rickleson of Chicago, and Capt. Little of Aurora, Ill., are In the city taking the depositions of several witnesses in the case of Mrs. Kate Schoutz vs. the city cf Chicago. The case has been in the Chicago courts for a period of two years, but owing to certain legal irregularities has never been brought to trial. The suit is for $10,000 damages, and is brought by plaintiff, who is a resident of New Albany, for injuries received while visiting Chicago in company with her husband. She alleges that while promenading one of that city's thoroughfares, she was thrown and permanently crippled owing to the negligence of the city in not properly repairing its sidewalks. The defense will endeavor to prove that she was a cripple before the accident happened, and on this ground only can they win the case. The plaintiff will prove beyond any question that she was not a cripple at the time, and that she has not had the proper use of one of her limbs since. Capt. Little, an eminent lawyer of long practice in the Illinois courts, is counsel for Mrs. Schoutz and will conduct the prosecution personally. New Albany Ledger. At the late fair held at Sprunica, Brown county, a laughable yet serious accident occurred. Horse racing is not a usual feature of the Sprunica fair, but the big crowd in attendance was clamorous for a horse race, and to satisfy the people one was improvised by the managers. Among the horses entered was a tall and rawboned animal, formerly owned by the Johnsons of this county. He was speedy at the word, but thoroughly unmanageable, and there was never any telling when he would jump the fence or throw his rider. The track was clear with the exception of the stumps that were in it and the word was given to the starters. John Mead, a well-known farmer, and one of the managers of the fair, was standimg on a stump watching the race. The Johnson horse made straight for the stump upon which Mead was perched and ran over him, breaking three of his ribs and badly injuring one eye. His rider was thrown without injury. This horse continued twice around the track riderless, and finished ahead of all, notwithstanding the efforts of persons to drive him back. - Columbus Herald. The will of the late "Uncle Johnny" Marshall, an old bachelor, who lived alone for years on a farm near Lebanon, develops a romantic incident. In early manhood he was a school teacher, and he fell in love with one of his pupils, a bright girl of fifteen, the daughter of Jacob Baes. The parents objected to Marshall and the girl married Addison G. Meyers of Whitestown. This was back in 1852. Marshall thereupon eschewed society and built him a log cabin on the farm, where he remained for forty years and more. He worked hard and accumulated much property. Mrs. Emily Morrison. his only sister, died in 1890, leaving one son, who was named in honor of his uncle. After his mother's death the young man was invited to share his uncle's home, which he accepted. The sweetheart of Marshall's youth is the mother of six children, one of whom, Gertrude, is a girl of nineteen. After Marshall's death it was found that he had made a will bequeathing his farm to his nephew provided he married Miss Gertrude within two years; otherwise he was to receive but $5,000, the remainder of estate going to other heirs. The young people had never met until they were brought together to hear the terms of the will. The stipulation was a great surprise to both, but it was favorably received, and it is said a wedding will soon put beyond dispute all disposition of the senior Marshall's estate. New Albany Ledger.
