Recently, says the Towanda Review, as one of the extra trains on tho Ber nlce branch pulled Into Saterlleld on a wet and chilly night, the conductor was accosted by a laboring man of gen teel appearance who was shivering and chattering with tho cold. He claimed to hall from Potter county, where ho has a wife nnd family, and was on his way to tho lumber woods of Sulli van county In senich of work to keep himself nnd his family from starving. Thirty-six hours before he had left his little family at home, having pressed Into his wife's hand a $5 bill, the last of his little store of wealth, and with not a cent In his pocket and despite her pleadings that he tnkc at least a dollar of the little fund with him, he started out. For the entire thirty-six houis he had been without food. An lnvestl galton of his story proved Its accuracy. His want was relieved. A Hazlcton dispatch says: Three tramps on Sunday afternoon brutally assaulted Mrs. Frazcr, Who resides with her father In a lonely section known ns tho Ice Lake, near White Haven. All the occupants of the house excepting Mrs. Frazer had gone to AVhtte Haven, and when the tramps stole upon the premises the woman was at their mercy. They asked her wheth er there was any money or other val uables about the house, and when she refused to give any Information they struck her to the lloor and asaaulted her In the most outrageous manner. The tramps then ransacked the house and In one of the rooms on the upper lloor they found a trunk, which they broke open and secured $150, besides other valuables. They then made their escape, leaving their victim lying In a helpless condition on the lloor. When Mrs. Frazer's father returned he saw what had occurred and Immediately gave the nlarm. In a sdiort time a large posse of citizens arrived from White Haven and went in pursuit of the fiends. The posse was well armed and those who could not secure guns carried with them base ball bats and other weapons. After n long and tedious search three tramps were dis covered In the woods near-by nnd they were immediately commanded to sur render, which they did. Several of the cltlzensi then pounced upon the nomads and handled them In a severe manner, after which they were taken to White Haven nnd locked up. Mrs. Frazer appeared at tho lock-up some time af terward, but as she could not Identify any of them as her assailants they were set at liberty. No clue to the perpetrators of the deed has thus far been obtained. The Kast Stroudsburg Chautauqua will open early In July. There Is every promise of a large attendance. Dr. N. C.

Strange Ilnppings Which rriglitcncd .Mrs. Titus mid Her Neighbors. From tho Wilkes-Barro Times. Down In Plymouth tho people have been having quite an experience ulth a haunted house. This supernatural place which was shunned by the neigh bors was the residence of Mrs. Mary Titus on Vino street. Mrs. Titus Is a widow and has resided In the house with her rnarried daughter, Mrs. Cora Shaw, since the death of her husband, Dennis Titus, who was killed In Dela ware and Hudson mines No. 1', thirteen years ago, by a fall of rock. For the past week strange rapping nolees, apparently emanating from the cellar, have been heard through the house. At first Mrs. Titus was Inclined to believe they were caused by some natural action which wjis concealed, but as the strange sounds were con tinually heard, she became alarmed. To tho neighbors whom she told the story It appeared ridiculous. But Ihoy also becuwo convinced th'nt some su pernatural being vns haunting the premises, rfter being In the house for some little time, for they too heard the strange raptdng. A large number of people visited the hous? and will swear they heard the ghost knocking on the lloor, for the sounds were plainly henid. The neighbors began to talk about the matter, nnd the two women who occupied tho houst were nearly fright ened outy of their wits, for Incessantly they heard the ghostly rap, A circum stance which lent color to the story of the haunted house was the opening up of the abandoned district In the mine where Mr. Titus was kllk-d. Shortly after he was killed by tho fall of lock, the whole section near caved In and has never been worked to this day. A few weeks ago the company determined to again Iterate the abandoned section, and about the time tho ghost made his appearance at the Tltua house, the workmen reached the point whero the unfortunate Mr. Titus had met Ills death. This fact was enousrh to set the su perstitious all agog. The old miners who were called to the hous said the rapping was Identical with that heard in the mines when men wer entombed. The spirit of the dead man had re turned, and was rapping on its threst old, for release. The object of tho gh'oU's persecution seemed to be the daughter, Mrs. Shaw, who Is nervously affected, subject to hysterics and afillcted by that terrible disease St. Vitus' danc. Vhertver she went, th6re followed the ghost, from room to room, wheiver she lv rled for a moment there around her sounded the death-like rap. The poor woman suffered terribly, oth'eis might avoid It but Bho could not. She was nearly driven crazy, and the distract ed mother wa little comfort. A day or two nso, tho mother sat down by the side of the daughter to discuss the terrible misfortune which had over whelmed them. Suddenly there came a rapping, rapping! from beneath the kitchen floor. As the women became more frightened more audible became the ominous knocking. Tho mother's oyes were cloiely fixed on th daughter, she heard the tapping plainly and discovered something which shocked her more than all the ghosts In creation could. She had dis covered the wonderful supernatural being, the ghost who had haunted the house, and mystllled the wlsesi.neigh bors. It wab St. Vitus. The daughter when seateJ was unconsciously tapping the floor with the heel of her shoe. It Is not gainsaying that the wora'n were greatly relieved and like all oth er ghost fetories, this one was easily explained. Chicngo Craln Market. Chicago, May 10.
