THE RAILWAY GHOST.
Westfield is an old, old town, and the railroad has run through it for many a year. Now upon embarkments which slope to creeks and infiltrates, now through narrow cuts with high balsa rising sheer on either side. Day after day, year after year, the trains go to and fro, and sometimes rockless wayfarers are seen in its brightness of the midday making their way from Westfield to the nearest village, or returning, on the railroad track.
But there are few who venture that way after sunrise. It is dangerous, they say. Many have met their deaths through folly of this kind. And this is true. Nevertheless there are those among them who are thinking of the Railway Gazette.
It is the work of a journalist.
They only serve to chill his waning love.
Denser and deeper grows the shadow, cooler and milder grows his love, until one day around the mud. Wethed of her glom and tears he speaks his sharp reproaches, and they part in bitter anger. He goes off to the city and she sits nursing her dull heartache all day long.
Raining comes, but he does not return.
She watches and listens, but he does not come. She will not break her last or quench her thirst; but he does not come. She learns the trains come thunder-lering in and bearers for his funstep, but she bears no sound. Quitter and quieter it grows. She waits for the midnight train. She watches at the gate, watches the road as far as she can see in the cloudy atmosphere.
She whispers his name over and over, "Frances, Frances!" and pleads him to come to her once more. "I will never speak impatiently again, never weary you, if you will only come," she says. "Only come, Frances, my love, my all."
There is a great agony in her cry; but he does not come. The last train is in There are no more trains till morning. Why does not the morning come? Oh why? She faints herself upon the earth and grovels in her tatter and suspense. "Frances, my love, my love! Only comes back to me!"
And dawn breaks and the sun is risen, and happy day smiles upon the earth. But he has not returned.
The servant goes about the house singing a careless song. Does the servant know the mistress' agony?
Toward most the servant goes down to the village postoffice and presently returns with a letter.
"Have it to me," the mistress says, her face wrister than the white sail on the distant water.
She is cold and dead at heart. She knows his handwriting. She must read and write or die.
The words must burn through her eyes and hire her brain. Yet she does not cry out for fall awakening. She only reads and recalls again his cold forewell.
"Better for us to part at once."
We have made a mistake. Before reading this you will have heard of your husband's suicide. You drive him to it. He was a good husband to you and your servant him. We might live together even now when he is dead but you could hardly tell.

A HAUNTED MINE.
Supernatural Sights in the Yellow Jacket
The Talmud told and Vanished For by Many Trustworthy Men.
From the Encyclopedia
VIRGINIA CITY (New York) November 16—For some years past there have been observed by the miners working in the old upper levels of the Yellow Jacket mine, Gold Hill, Nev., various phenomena apparently of a supernatural character. Recently these unaccountable disturbances have been recerved in a startling manner. Few miners like to own to having been frightened by anything of a ghostly nature. The majority prefer quietly leaving a mine to acknowledge themselves frightened by anomalous sights and sounds. For this reason little has herefore been made public in regard to the doings of the spikes and goblins in the old upper workings of the Jacket.
Minerals are credited with being thoroughly saturated with superstitious notions and fears as are sailors. Taking into consideration the scenes of labor of the two classes, minerals have much greater reason for being overcome at times by superstitious fears than have sailors. While the labors of the latter are at all times performed out under the free vault of heaven, in the milestr of the open waters of the broad ocean, and much of the time in the broad light of day, the business of the former carries him into subterranian depths where reigns a perpetual darkness surpassing that of the land beyond the ocean stream" where the Cimberians dwell.
Although stories of these goblins of the miners have been brought to the Connack, they hold of the truth, and more get down to the 1100 level, nothing unwarranted, to alarm me.
When I get down among the men I asked for Pete Langan, and was told that he had been up on the surface during my trip to the 1000 level, I was ask that I was obliged to quit work. The man all new that something had happened to me, and wanted to know whether I had seen or heard anything. I gave them no answer further than to say that I had been overtaken by a suffler kit of illumination. They were not satisfied, and that evening at upper than I told them what had occurred up on the 1000 level. Then I learned from them of strange things that had happened to others in the old upper levels.
It appears that the 900 level is that on which supernatural manifestations are of most frequent occurrence. It is said that three men have been killed on that level, and that one man was buried under a big cave, and that his body has not yet been recovered. At the time of the great fire in the Jacket, which broke out on the morning of April 7, 1869, forty-five men lost their lives. The bodies of three were never recovered, and it has always been thought that they were walled in when hulkings were built to contain limits as afterward, when the fire had exhausted itself, some bits of home were found in that section.
Quite a number of men have left the mine at different times on account of strange happenings on the 900 level. The fact of those men giving up steady work at $4 a day allows that they were pretty thoroughly frightened. At times the men have been started by crises and shrieks as if someone being pressed to death under timbers, but most of them have been alarmed by footsteps above and around them, such as were heard by Bennett.
The men who heard these sounds were not always alone. Men working in crosscuts would hear "footsteps out in the main drift," as someone on patrol marching up and down along the footboards. At this time, under the impression that it was the foreman pronouncing in the drift, some of the men went out to investigate, but could never see anyone, the sound of footsteps ceasing when they came into the drift, though it had been distinctly heard a moment before. With the return of the men to their work the sound of footsteps tramping and grinding along the sandy footboards of the track.
In the Archives of May 16th, Mr. King had allowed to the archives his statements from Candy, the proprietor of Shining Times, and who had hardly been abused through the bulldozer shuffling carried out by blasting Yankee bulldogs, was a disheveled convict, who had done the State of New York service in Singing prison. A few hours after the suppression of the paper, the editor was shot by Cary in Manhattan streets, not far from the Bank Building, and died six days later. With squandering and perfect faith in impurity, they inflicted nine bybushmen, who were his personal friends, to heal him gently in pill, which from Cary's point of view, had no anyylum from a possible outburst of popular violence. The jailer who would defend him, and the Judge before whom he expected to be arrested, were among his treated friends. His calculations were entirely justified by his experiments, but he had not counted on a sudden arrival of Vigilante Committees.
On the very evening after the alarming of King William T. Coleman, a member of the Committee of Thirteen, to which on disbanding the original committee of 1851 had transmitted certain powers, issued a call convoking for the following morning all respectable citizens disposed to organize a popular tribunal. At this meeting an executive committee of twelve was chosen, and Mr. Coleman was made President. So numerous and rapid were the applications for admission that by 8 p.m., on May 15 not less than 1,500 men had been enrolled in companies, and these numbers before morning were swallowed to 2,000.
Saturday, May 17, 8,000 citizens had joined; and at the same time as the efficiency the Vigilance Committee of 1856 consisted of one battalion, four companies of artillery, or squadron two dragoons, four regiments and thirty-two companies of infantry, in all 6,000 men under arms, well drilled and thoroughly equipped with the needful munitions of war. As early as May 17, while King was yet alive, the committee secured headquarters on Narcissus street, which were immediately fortified, and were thereafter known as Fort Gunnybags. When these rooms were near full bushels...
alteration the scenes of labor of the two classes, miners have much greater reason for being overcome at times by superstitions fear than have sailors. While the labors of the latter are at all times performed out under the free vault of heaven, in the midst of the open waters of the broad ocean, and much of the time in the broad light of day, the business of the former carries him into suburban depots where reigns a perpetual darkness surpassing that of the land beyond the ocean stream where the Cimberians dwell.
Although stories of these goblins of the miners have been brought to the Colstack by miners from Freberg, Altunberg, Clarstein and other mining regions in Germany, with similar stories from the mines of Cornwall, our miners have never encountered any such sprites in the lower levels here, nor seen any trace of their works. Hour miners far anything at all; it is the spirits of the dead; the regular old fashioned churchyard gates. But even of these very little has never been heard. Occasionally a story has been started of some strange accounts having been heard in some of the mines, but nothing more than vague accounts of any sound could be obtained.
Now, however, we have something definite in regard to the strange sight and sounds of the Jockey. On Thursday night, November 10th, W. P. Bennett, who is employed in that mine, had an experience so startling that it gave him a lot of sadness from which he has not fully recovered at this writing.
Mr. Bennett is well known to many persons in San Francisco as well as in this part of Nevada and in many of the mountain towns of California. He was for a number of years in the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co., and in the old staging days had charges as Superintendent, of all their horses and coaches and was much of the time traveling to and frover their routes. He is a very truthful man, a Padre priest, and a man who through his life has feared
He says that never until last work did he see or hear anything that he could not account for. He is now employed in the Yellow Mine as powder man. He has changed and distributed to the miners the powder they require in blasting. He has been working in the mine over four years. During his time there frequently been in the mines alone and passed through all parts of it without a thought or hearing anything of a ghostly nature. He knew of leaving the mine on account of things they had heard or seen but paid little attention to the mysteries talk about them he necessarily heard among the miners, further than to say that he would very much like to see or hear some of the times they strike at. But in a he wants no more it. He says he has "get his dose" and will never get over it till his life is ended.
Thursday might be spoken to Peter Gough, the foreman of some shovels he had seen up the 1800 level, and said he would go up and get them. He was told to leave. He went up to the old deserted level and ascended to the first floor above the track floor. He went across this floor at station, and taking up two chairs, returned with them to descend to the track floor. He was carrying a lantern, and when he had got on the ladder that led to the track door, and was moving down with his bintern been inside the floor, but his head still throught it, he was started at hearing a sound of heavy footsteps coming trapping over the planks directly toward us. He began to descend the ladder as rapidly as possible, and while he did so he alarmed at the start immediately over its head.
At times the men have been startled by crises and shrieks as if someone being pressed to death under timbers, but most of them have been alarmed by footsteps above and around them, such as were heard by Mr. Bennett.
The men who heard those sounds were not always alone. Men working in crosswalls would hear 'outsteats' out in the main drift, as of someone on patrol marching up and down along the foot-boards. At first, under the impression that it was the foreman promising in the drift, some of this men went out to investigate, but could never see anyone, the sound of footsteps ceasing when they came into the drift, though it had been distinctly heard a moment before.
With the return of the men to their work the sound of footsteps tramping and grinding along the sandy foot-boards of the truck they would again be heard, or perhaps the grassings and cries would begin.
The disturbances in the 1000 level have been much less frequent than above on the 500 and the levels above that. But about a month ago a miner named Bruce, who was at work on the 1000 level, suddenly threw up his job. Being pressured for the reason he at first said he was, but finally told a friend that he had seen a thing which he took to be a warning for him to leave the mine. He would not say what he had seen, but said it meant his death if he remained in the mine.
Fear of being laughed at prevents many from telling the cause of their flight. About two years ago a miner who was at work on the 2000 level heard footsteps in the main drift, and told the man who was at work with him in face of a crosscut that he would look out and see who was there. Taking a candle he went out, but in a few moments came rushing back with his hair on end and trembling in every joint. He said that when he got out to the main drift two shoes with no person in them came trailing along before him on the foot-walk. He was so badly frightened that he would not stir an男人 from his partner during the remainder of the shift, and when it ended let him never enter it again. Mr Bennett says that although he formerly went by himself through all parts of the mine without a thought of fear, no money would now hire him to again go alone into the old drifts and chambers of the 1000 level. He says he has all his life laughed at the stories told of pranks of spikes and the tricks of spiritualists, but the push he gets when his showers were sent flying was a thing that he cannot get over.
As Mr. Bennett has always been known as one utterly fearless as regards supernatural things, his experience has had a great effect upon the men working in the mine. There are at present about twenty men at work on the 1200 level. Formerly, at change of shift, when these men reached the 1100 level, they would make a rush for the slant to get on the first cage going up now, however, they move along en masse, and as they pass along en masse, and as they pass along en masse, cast toward it and there are some quick stepping among the men who bring up the rear.
In writing an account of these old haunted levels it would not have been difficult to have invented some starting things, but I have preferred relating put what is reported by Mr. Bennett and the miners themselves. Without comment or any attempt at explanation I gave the story of this supposed haunted mine, leaving all to draw their own conclusions.

Mr. H. H.

Thursday might be spoken to Peterson, the foreman, of some shovels he had seen up the 1850 level, and said he would group and get them. He was told to leave. He went out across this floor at a station, and taking up two shovels, returned with them to demand to the track floor. He was carrying a lambert, and when he had got on the ladder that led to the track floor, and was moving with his lambert below the hole in the floor, but his head still through it, he was startled at hearing the step immediately over the planks directly toward him. He began to descend the ladder as rapidly as possible, and while he did so heard the steps immediately over his head at the bottom he had just left. He pushed on down the ladder a short distance till he reached one clue that leads down from the floor on which the lametta beard, Halting at the clue he looked up it but saw nothing. He knew that no men were working on the land, but it came into his mind that Peterson might possibly have imbued him with that part of the mine, though the thought then struck him that Peterson not may come up without a light, and would not be trapping about in the dark.
Although feeling very shaky and uncertain, Mr. Bennett mattered courage in call. When there was an ambush as there instantly he heard begin above, on the floor, but about fifty feet back from the hole through which he had posed, a heavy trampling of two men coming forward toward the ladder way. As he stood on the ladder he held his stern in his left hand, and ended the same arm the two shovels tightly pressed against his side.
Suddenly, from behind, the shovels were violently tormented and sent flying a distance of two sets of timers (about twelve feet) when they struck against the wall and went down the ladder way, landing at a point distant nearly thirty feet from where they started.
"Up to ten minutes," says Mr. Bennett, "I was very badly frightened, but when I felt the thirst from behind, and saw the shovels dying almost of me, I felt through my whole system a shilling, sickening shock. For a moment I was almost paralyzed; then fear of something worse (the tramping on the floor above still contained) I descended the ladder as swiftly as possible."
When I reached the floor below, in my excitement I took a wrong turn. I got off into a strange drift, and did not discover my error until I came to where was caught down in it a large pile of dirt. I drunken going back under the ladder, way from the floors above, but managed to overrun behind the ladder, and then came in the drive that I should take at first. There lay my two shovels almost for a time I was afraid to touch them, not knowing what might happen to the moment of my living hands on them.
However, I plucked up courage to
The San Francisco Vigilance Committee of 1856.
Mr. H. H. Bancroft, the author of the History of the Pacific States, now in course of publication (San Francisco, the History Co.), has devoted his two latest volumes to an account of the popular tribunal which, owing to the shortcomings in the normal machinery of justice, were from time to time established in the States and Territories west of the Rocky mountains. Of these volumes, the first, which appeared some months ago, was allotted to the San Francisco Vigilance Committee of 1851, and to the minor organizations which, outlying settlements, were called into being by its example. The volume now before us was reserved for the exhibition of facts of the much more famous tribunal which the citizens of San Francisco subscribed for the ordinary law courts in 1856.
There had been, as Mr. Bancroft shows us in some preliminary chapters, no diminution of crime in San Francisco after the terror executed by the committee of 1851 had spent its force, but there had been a marked change in the methods of criminals. At the earlier speech they had defied this law, but they had learned how to paralyze its arm by controlling its administrators. At the primary meetings and the ballot box they laid a broad and solid basis for their depredations on the community. A burglar or a murderer, if apprehended in the act, no longer troubled himself to resist arrest or escape from imprisonment. The policeman who seized him, the Sheriff upon whose selection depended the composition of the jury, and the Judge who was to try him ware his command and his creatures.
The jail was a place of refuge, the smart room a place of rebellion. There was absolutely no point in the whole administrative and judicial hierarchy, from that of Governor or United States Senator to that of inspection at a primary meeting, which crime could not approach and infiltrate in those remote ways. What passed for public opinion reflected nothing but the insults and denials of rumble, violence, the compliance of the incompetence meant to poison no woken, the whole prime of time Francisco, with the exception of a single newsaper, was summoned by intimation or disheveled by birth. The simple凑 times was the Zoning Bulletin, a paper owned and edited by Mr. James King, and it was Isaac Kline, a Petersburg, Va., patriarch, has recently taken onto himself his eighth wife. Ella is seventy five years old, and is the father of thirty six children.
Mr. Berg, the teacher of Jenny Lind, is now eighty six years old, and still a professor of music in Sweden. He speaks of his great pupil with catholism.
Mr. Gladstone has in his library three deks. At one he transmits public business; at another he conducts his private correspondence and at the third he communicates with his "old friend Homer."
Ex-Premier Gilson of the Sandwich Islands, who has just been used for breach of promise by a blackeyed schoolmaster at Hawaii, once a Mormon in Salt Lake City and married to throw Koglah sisters there.
John G. Whittier, the poet, will be presented by the Essex Club on the occasion of eightieth anniversary of his birth, December 17th, with a testimonial to be signed by prominent men throughout the country.
Commodore Joseph B. Hall, who was commandant at the old navy yard during the war, is said to be the object placed in the American Navy, his appointment dating back nearly seventy-five years.
William Hostetter of Hendricks county, Idle is a descendant from the family of General Warren, the hero of Blink Hill, and has in his possession the military cost worn by General Warren when he fell pierced by a British bullet.
Mr. Gladstone is failing the effects of the remarkably cold and wet weather in England. His throat and bronchial tubes are his weakest spots, and it is said that he will move go to the south of France, so he did in January, 1853.
Mai-sieurius, the artist, looks shorter than he really is; his broad shoulders being supported by short and slender legs. His bushy beard and whiskers give him a furrowless whitely belied by his gourdnance of manner and by his shyness in the pronouncements.
Wadden In Court.
Indianaapolis, December 2-Almost a year ago John Bishop of Dayton began paying attention to John Yutha,a soldier's witness. When she received her $20,000 pawn-in-money he indulged her to turn in order to him for investment. Upon receiving money he married another woman John appointed to the Federal authorities.Biding that half was acquitted some time ago and judged later.In this month he with a record a difference and day Bishop and Miss Yutha were married to the Federal authorities in the promotion of Judge Grumbles and the District Attorney.The Court issued in making an amputation and brightness by ensuring a middle ground in this case against the grumbles.
