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.

PLYMOUTH'S IIAUNTliD HOUSE.
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.
