Credulous people will ho interested in
the following which is just now going
the rounds of the press:
Peninsula people have been seeing
ghosts and supernatural objects with
alarming frequency during the last three
weeks. The first instance of things hea
venly having been seen comes from Roy
al Oak, Maryland. A little girl, some
three weeks ago, living in the village,
saw after nightfall, before the moon was
airly up above the horizon, whole pla
toons of angels slowly marching and
countermarching to aud fro in the clouds
their white robes and helmets glistening
with a weird light.. At intervals the
heavenly visitors would dance mournful
ly as if to the sound of unseen music.and
certainly unheard music. She rushed in
to Her pare ts and declared that the hea
vens had been spread aud betrayed to her
vision sights somewhat premature, as
regards time, and then sank down in a
fright. Her lather to satisfy his doubt
ing mind, went out aud was rewarded
with a sight of the unearthly spectacle.
The news of the spectacle quickly spread
from mouth to mouth, from house to
house, and in an incredible short space of
time the inhabitants were out en masse
gazing in open mouth astonishment,
while the white-robed hosts, seemingly
offended at the immense amount of genu
ine astonishment and wonder they were
unearthing, slowly faded from sight.leav
ing Royal Oak a linn believer, from the
little girl who was first on the spot to
the 'Squire in his little ollice behind the
church, in ghosts and winged goblins.
But the phenomena seem to have been es
pecially manifest in Sussux county, Del
aware.
Monday night two weeks ago William
West, a fanner living near Georgetown,
the county seat, saw, at a time almost
identical wit h the appearance of the vision
at Royal Oak, bands of soldiers of great
size, equipped in dazzling uniforms, their
musket steels quivering and shimmering
in the pale, weird light that seemed to be
everywhere, inarching with military pre
cision up and down unseen avenues and
presenting arms at the sound of unheard
commands. The vision was of startling
distinctness and lasted long enough to be
seen by a number of West's neighbors,
who, after the unearthly military had tak
en its departure and been swallowed up
in thin air, retailed the strange story to
their eager friends, who had not been so
fortunate as they.
But strangest of all, a man named Cov
erdale, who was driving through the
country along a lonely road at the same
time, being then several miles away from
West's house and in an entirely different
direction, saw to his astonishment and
alarm the same band of soldiers in their
faultless uniforms. Many people living
near Laurel, many miles away, situated
in the lower end of the Peninsula, saw
the same extraoidinary phenomena at the
same time. A few go as far as to say, in
spite of the ridicule of their associates,
that they distinctly saw in the midst of
the soldiers, and conspicuous by reason
of his size and commanding presence, the
hero President himself, pule, but with
his every feature distinctly and vividly
portrayed.
There is no doubt of'tlu fact that there
were many who thought they saw Gar
field in the clouds. In Talbot county the
vision was seen bv r numbers. A farmer
living near Clara's Point on going out in
to his ya'-d after d irk saw as he related
ii afterwards to his neighbors, angels
and soldiers inarching side by side in the
clouds, wheeling and going through eve
ry evolution with military precision and
absolutely life-like and natural.
In Bradford the exercises of the ineih
odist conference were held Sunday night
in the largest church there, Bishop Har
ris presiding. The building was packed.
Toward the close of the services a wo
man in the gallery fainted. The alarm
I was given that the gallery was falling,
I which was followed by a rush for the va
| riousLexit.s, in which men, women and
: children joined. Many were trodden un
der foot and seriously injured. When
the panic was at its height somebody
yelled lire. The lire department and a
thousand citizens rushed to the scene
and for ten minutes the people surged and
crushed through the doors. Chaplain
McCabe shouted, "There is no danger,"
and led oil' in a hymn yellieg at the top of
his voice. Bishop Harris and others al
so exerted themselves to quiet the crowd.
As usual the Democrats have made a
mistake in taking advantage of the as
sassination of the President to gain a
little seeming advantage in the organi
zation of the Senate. Sound wisdom,
patiotism and even policy would have
dictated a different course. The Vice
President of right belonged to the He
publicans, and the verdict of the people
will put the seal of condemnation on the
unpatriotic course of the Democratic
Senators in defrauding them of it.
The fellows that thrive bv fleecing anx
i
ious candidates for ollice, find their oc
cupation gone this year in Bradford
county. We arc experiencing the quiet
est campaign known for years, and can
didates will get through without having
to "bleed"'every time they meet one ol
