BEARD THE BANSHEE.
A Young Irishman's NerYes Shattered
by Unearthly Shrieks.
GLOOHY FOREBOMKfcS OF DEATH,
Despoil Him of His Best and Yior, and
Flange Him Into Despair.
HE REFUSES ILL DDT SPIRITUAL AID
James A. Devoy is a young Irishman who
boards with Mrs. George Hill, on "Watson
street, near Old avenue. Mr. Devoy has
been employed as a clerk in a grocery store
since his arrival in this city in 1S87. Oar
ing the past five days he has refused to do
any work, and is plunged in tbe deepest
melancholy. He eats barely enoueh to sup
port life, and never leaves his boarding
house. Medical aid he declines to accept,
nor have the entreaties and reasoning of his
friends the least eflect upon his mind. The
cause of this strange disposition is thus ex
plained by the Hill family, with whom Mr.
Devoy boards:
About 3 a. at. on last Saturday morning
Devoy rushed into young Fred Hill's room
in a frantic state of terror and excitement
To the astonished Hill he exclaimed: "I've
heard it; I've got to go like the rest of
them."
A STRUGGLE KT THE ROOM.
Hill thought his friend was insane and
tried to calm him, but Devoy, who is a very
strong man, caught him in his arms and
threw him furiously back upon the bed. He
then began to wring his hands and moan,
crying out that he would be a dead man
before the end of the week. The noise
brought other members of the family to the
room, and after much persuasion Devoy re-
i vealed the cause of his extraordinary be-
', havior.
' "Don't laugh at me," he said, "because I j
believe in spirts and such things, but not ten
minutes ago X beard the shriek: ot tbe .ban
shee three times outside my window. You
know what the Banshee is? It is a spirit
that follows some Irish families and warns
them or coming death. My father was
warned like this; so were ruy mother and
brother. Every one of them died within the
week. Row it is my turn, and I must go
also." Devoy denied angrily that he had
dreamed the terrible Banshee cries so dread
ed by many of tbe Irish and Highland
Scotch. Ke solemnly avered that the first
cry had awakened him, and that he heard
the two subsequent cries while standing
wide-awake on the floor of his room. The
Hills tried to ridicule Devoy's statement,
but be persisted in it, and bewailed his ap
proaching end.
HAS NOT SLEPT SINCE.
He slept none that night; and his present
haggard appearance would seem to warrant
the declaration that he has enjoyed no sleep
since. He has caused his room to be almost
entirely darkened, and he sits there await
ing the fate which he imagines is awaiting
him. The scanty meals he eats are carried
to him in this room. He admits very few
visitors, and nothing can shake his
', firm belief that his death will occur
j within a week. To-day he proposes to
i seek spiritual consolation from one of the
I pastors at the Cathedral. "I want to make
, all straight with Heaven before I go," he
I said yesterday. "I have delayed too long
i as it is. My poor father was snatched away
the very day after he heard the scream of
' the Banshee. I ought to be very thankful
since I have been allowed five days. Isn't
it awful that healthy and young as I am I
should be called away like this?"
Mr. Devoy is 26 years of age. He is
about six leet high and well built His face
is rather good lookiog, but tbere is never
absent from it an intensely mournful expres
sion. This sorrowful look has been intensi
fied by his weird hallucination, until the
appearance presented by the young man's
ghastly countenance, is scarcely that of a
mortal being.
The Hill family is plunged in grief over
Devoy's temporary insanity as they style it.
He has always been a favorite; his quiet
gentlemanly manners gaining him the res
pect ot everyone in the neighborhood.
YEEOKA KNOCKED OUT.
The Supreme Court Refused to Take
the
Liquor Cases TJp Out of Order.
Attorney John M. Hunter returned
Yesterday morning from Philadelphia,
where he presented to the Supreme Court an
?ppeal from the Allegheny Court of Quar
er Sessions in the matter of Berg and
totter, refused applicants for retail liqnor
licenses for the borough of "Verona. Mr.
Hunter appealed from the ruling of the
court below that Verona is a prohibitory
dis'Hct
He moved the Supreme Court to advance
the cases on the docket, so that they might
be argued and decided within a fortnight
The fourt refused to take tbe cases up out
of order. Chief Justice Faxson said that
he did not consider the liquor cases of suffi
cient importance to be advanced. Mr.
Hunter's return to town yesterday, with
news of his reception, cast a gloom over
many wholesale appealers.

The O'Brien Gusher la Doing; Ills Work
Some DUnppoIntment In Cornopolla nt
Present Ground That Went Becglnf for
Years.
The visitors to the O'Brien well No. 2, at
Chartiers, went in shoals yesterday, but the
livery stable proprietors were not gainers
thereby. The roads south of the river are
so bad that it is necessary to Insure safety
when riding in a buggy to carry a balance
pole. It has been proposed to rig Jwagons
with oars and sails, as the froads between
Chartiers and the Steubenville pike are so
deeply cut up that when the mud becomes
tough, therejis danger of horses miring.
Thomas O'Brien seems to have been born
to luck. He was pretty well fixed, and as
for nearly a score of years he could not in
ducefanyone to bore for oil on his six-acre
tract back of McKee's Rocks, he has made
many efforts of late years to. sell it The
property was in the" hands of ex-Squire
Beilly for several years, but the price
wanted could not be realized. It has been
oflerei as low as 55,000, and at times $10,000
have been asked for it The result of the
inability to sell is that at present Mr.
O'Brien's income from it is about 51,000 a
day.
Fears were entertained yesterday that the
well in 'Squire Ferree's orchard would be a
duster. Fate has not been kind to the
'Squire in this instance, for it is to him
that the late development in Coraopolis is
owing. While others wanted bonuses, Mr.
Ferree offered his territory on a royalty and
induced his brothers to join, and the strik
ing of the George Ferree well meant a con
siderable amount of lucre to others. The
'Squire has a large tract, howevei, and
some of it is almost certain to be found in
the belt, whatever that may be iu this sec
tion. The Kendall well is putting out a large
amount of salt water, and it is feared that
its chances for grease are small.
MB. MAGEE 2T0T HT IT.
lie Says lie Has Nat One Dollar la the
Mount Oliver Incline.
Tt was stated in a morning paper yester
day that asyndicate had been formed which
had secured a 15-day option on the Mount
Oliver Incline Railway Company. The
price to be paid was, it was stated,
$135 per share, and the stock to be trans
ferred was that of the Keeling and Schultz
interests.
It was stated that C. L. Magee was the
head of the local syndicate which had se
cured an option on the property. Mr.
Magee was seen yesterday by a reporter for
The Dispatch. He said: "I am not in
any such a syndicate. This is the first I
have heard of it I have no intention of
buying a dollar's worth of stock in the
Monnt Oliver Incline.
WORK OF THE PBESEBVE TBTJST,
The Anonnl Report Read and New Dlrec
. tors Elected.
The meeting of the American Preserve
Company was continued yesterday, and the
members expect to finish the business to-day.
This is the end of the year, and the annual
report was read. A. Leo Weil, 'the attorney
for the trust, had no figures to give out Dat
he said everything was in a satisfactory con
dition and the members were satisfied.
The annual election resulted in the selec
tion of the following named directors: A. L.
Brenner, B. Fenton, Henry Williams, B.E.
Kyan, Dr. Wiehle, A. A. Knights, T. A.
Snider, Max Ames. Some of the members
left for their homes last evening.
THE PERFECT PIANOS
Of the Present Day
Are the Hardman, the Krakauer, the Kim
ball and the Vose. Proof of this is tbe fact
ot their being used more than any other
makes in colleges, conservatories, academies,
churches, schools and private dwellings
selected for such general use for their new
and modern patents and improvements, to
be found in no other makes.
The finish, the style, the action, the depth
and richntss of tone, and their phenomenal
durability; these combined is what makes
the Hardman, the Krakauer, the Yose and
the Kimball the leading pianos of the
present day, and the most preferred for pub
lic and private use.
No exorbitant prices either are asked for
these magnificent instruments. Prices are
as low as is consistent with honest workman
ship and the finest material, and then you
can get them on, easy payments, which
brings them within the reach ot all.
These pianos to be seen only at one place,
where visitors and lovers of music are al
ways welcome, namely, at Mellor &
Hoene's, 77 Fifth avenue.

LOW TAXES
A gratifying feature of tbe place Tbe open
ing of tbe Reynoldton and Dravosburg bridge
bas caused a regular boom in Dravosburg;
Workingmen who desire to own their own
home generally look to tbe advantages and dij.
advantaces of a place before Investing. Tho
easiest manner in which a wnrklngman can se
cure a boms Is to secure a lot in a desirable
plan, and be can bnild a house thereon and pay
for it as easy as paying rent.
THE NEW RISHER PLAN OF LOT8 At
DRAVOSBURG IS JUST THE PLACE
FOR SUCH AN INVESTMENT,
BECAUSE THE TAXES
ARE SMALL.
BEING ONLY 10 MILLS.
It is almost a portion of the city itself, being
only 14 minutes' walk from tbe center of Mo
Keesport, which the new Dravosburg bridge,
opened this week, and an electric street car
line, to be built this summer, brings Into easj
access. The
LOCATION IS MOST HEALTHFUL
AND CHARMING,
Overlooking the beautiful Monongahela and
the city of McKeesport. People living in Mo
Keesport have to suffer from tbe smoke and
dust of the mills, and they And it more pleasant
and healthful for themselves and children to
live ashert distance away from the heart of tbe
