See Ment for particulars, A HAUNTED HOUSE, The Colored Tenant and His Neighbors Greatly Perplexed. A STAR REPORTER INVESTIGATES—BOTTLES AND BRICKS AND PIECES OF GAS PIPE AND IRON SENT FLYING OVER 4 THREE-STORY BRICK DWELL- ING. ‘The inmates of the brick house on the northwest corner of 434 street and Missour! avenue are kept in a constant state of trepidation day and night by the mysterious antics of some invisible agencies, ‘The house ts kept as hotel by Pendleton, a col- ored man, Who, When guests are scarce and bust- ness dull, adds to his earnings by cobbling. About the only occupants at present are Pendicton, his family, and one or two assistants. Until very recently unusual quiet had prevailed about the Premises for several months. A failure to Procure a renewal of the license compelled the closing of the Dar-room three or four months ago, and after _—_‘that the house seemed to loge its attractions for its for- mer colored patrons, Several nights ago the in- mates were startied at a sound betokening acrash of glassware Just outside the house, Several of ‘them ran out to the Missouri avenue side, but they were glad to scurry back into the house. There Was a sort of HAIL STORM OF GINGER-POP AND SODA-WATER BOTTLES falling around the house, ‘The bottles apparently came flying over the house from the north side, and to that side, where there fs a yard inclosed by avery high wall, Pendleton and his associates hastened with the'view of ascertaining what force propelied the bottles. ‘There was nobody in the Yard, and, to the surprise and terror of Pendleton ‘and his family, the shower of bottles began to fall inthe yard as if thrown from the street. The missiles were not confined to bottles, but brickbats, whole bricks, pieces Of old iron, stones, &c., were sent flying over the house, first from one side and then from the other. ‘This Was kept up at intervals during the entire night, Every now and then restdents or adjoining houses would be awakened by the crash of bottles, apparently failing from a height of 60 or 70 feet to the pavement below. Early next morning almost the “entire neighborhood gathered around the house, ENDEAVORING 70 SOLVE THE MYSTERY. The presence of a crowd did not check the myste- rious thrower, who had muscle enough to project bottles and other missiles over a large three-story house, When a Stax reporter arrived at the cor- ner of Missourt avenue and 43 street, about 8 2.m., there were at least twenty persons assembled. In an instant a whirring nolse caused everybody to look up, and in another instant a pop-bottle de- scended with a crash to the pavement. It had ap- Parently come from the other side of the house. ext a piece of iron gas-pipe, welghing about two Pounds, came flying’ over the house. ‘The crowd divided, some going to the yard on the opposite side, ‘The missiles continued to Ay, first from one side and then the other. Pendleton and one or ‘two others Who Went tothe roof declared that while up there they saw the bottles and other ob- Jects flytag over the top. ‘THE STAR reporter made an examination of the Premises. The sidewalk on Missourt_ avenue was literally covered with the fragments of broken bottles. ‘The pavement of the yard on the oppo- Site side presented a stuntlar spectacle, PENDLETON THINKS IT 18 SPOOKS. “Who is doing tnis?” Tux Stax reporter asked. Pendieton—“Fo’ God, I wisht I knowed, sab. I dunno what ter make outen’ tt. I’se done all I could to fine out, but it beats me. ‘Tain’t no human han’s as duz it, dat I kno.” Whar's de man dat could fing a bottle over dis hyar house? Dat’s What Td llke ter know. Dey ain't nary man livin’ kin do it.” Pendleton, with a countenance betraying fear and anxiety; picked up a plece of tron gas pipe and ell, suid: “See dis hyar, it’s been over dis hous’ mo'en twenty tmes, fus one way, den de udder. I tuk dis (the gas pipe) and dis hyar (another piece Of fron), and I put dem in my rooin and lock de do’. Fo’ God, by de tme I got outen de house agin, dey bofe cum a flyin’ ober agin. Dey was gon’ frum de room, but de do’ was still locked, I went in dar to see.” BOTTLES WHICH GOT OUT OF A CLOSED KOOM. The bottles used, Pendleton says, were his, Some of them were in the basement and some in the hall of the first floor. He declared that when he discovered that the mysterious agency was destroying his bottles, he took those that were Jef and put them in a room, “But that didn’t make no difference,” he con- tinued, “Dey got ‘em jis de same.” ‘The reporter suggested that somebody was play- ing pranks on Pendleton, perhaps with the view ‘of running him out of the honse. “Den iUs de smartes’ sumbody dat eber I see,” he replied. “Kase we bin watchin’ de top o' de house an on bofe sides, and still de bottles keep ona fiyin’.” Hedeclared that he took some of the bottles in “a room and shut the door and that be- fore he could turn round the bottles “was ‘jis dun gon’ and a flying’ ober de house.” ‘The top of the house can only be reached by means of a ladder from the attic of Pendleton’s house, through a trap in the roof. All of the bottles in Pendleton's place were thrown and destroyed, but the bottle shower continued last night. When a Sra reporter visited Pendleton this morning he DR. MILLS AND JOHN LAIDLOW CAPTURED IN VIR~ GINIA—TO BE TAKEN TO ELMIRA, X. ¥., FOR TRIAL. ‘There have recently appeared in ‘THe Star and other papers accounts of the payment of $13,000 Pension arrearages to an old and sightless soldier known as “Blind” Patterson, of Elmira, N. ¥., and ‘the subsequent discovery that the claim was a fraudulent one, It appears that Dr. Robt, N. Mills, formerly of Greene County, Va., and well known in this city for some years past, was the agent in the case. It is alleged that he promised a man $1,000 to make a certain false affidavit in the case, which affidavit was made; and that after Mills had secured the bulk of Patterson’s money he left New York, neglecting to pay this $1,000, and that the affiant gave information of the fraud. ‘The police department in this city received a telegram on the 17th inst., asking that Mills be arrested. Detectives Carter and Mahon ascertained that Dr. Mills had been at the St. James Hotel that morn- ing, but had left on the Southern train. Surmis- ing that he was on his way to his former home in Greene County, they gave the information to the Pension Office. One of the 5] ial agents of that office, Mr. Jacobs, left here Wednesday and found that Mills and his wife and Jno. Laidiow, a shoe- maker, who 1s alleged to have made the other fraudulent aMavit, had joined Mills the day after his arrival in Greene Couaty, and that they were all at the house of a sister of Mills, 14 miles from Orange Court-House, Calling In the aid of Sheriff Ricketts, of Orange County, the arrest of Dr. Mills, Mrs. Mills and idiow was effected. Mr, Jacobs, With the sheriff and Mr. Waliork, arrived in this city with the prisoners last night, and they were taken to the Sixth Precinct station and the two men were locked up. ‘There was found on Mrs, ‘Mills’ person $650, and it was ascertained that Dr. Mills had paid off a mortgage of $1,700 on his hotel in New York, and had bought a farm for his sister in Greene County, Virginia. Mrs. Mills as- serts that she knew nothing of Dr. Mills’ connec- on with the case, and did not Know there was any suspicion of wrong about it Ull she read the statements ip the papers last Sunday week. Dr. Mills does not deny his connection. with the case, but asserts that as far as he was concerned there was no fraud aboutit, and that he can satisfac- torlly explain everything, and adds that he is anxious for a speedy and Tull investigation. The two men will be taken by the officers to Elmira to- day. Mrs. Mills is not heid in custody, but will likely go with her husband. seid Should Not Curtail the Time. To the Editor of Tux EvENING Stan: Ivis respectfully suggested that there are two sides to every question, and the District Commis- stoners will do the fair thing if they consider the ‘side of the people before they make any such order as that sald to be advocated by the water department under which the use of street sprink- lers would be restricted to thirty minutes, ‘Those of our citizens occupying corner houses cannot sprinkle their lawns in the time named. If there 5 abuse in the use of water there is a remedy, and it should be applied by the police. Your sensible editoriil advocating cleanliness during the hot months Was provably based upon the assumption that there was an abundance of water avaiable here, but the proposed order of the water board looks as though a water famine was impending. ‘Tue Potomac still flows by our doors; we water works which cost, heaven only knows how many millions; we pay large taxes, and think we are entitled to something more than thirty min- ‘utes’ use of the water in hot weather. If the hon- orable water board will condescend to receive a suggestion I would invite {tsattention to the waste of Water in the Government Departments, navy- Yard, engine houses, hotels and the somewhat too frequent breaks in pipes put down under the su- pervision of water board officials, as subjects more worthy of attention than occasional use of street sprinklers, G.

Early this morning several of the family were in @ room on the first floor, when suddenly a quantity of water, perhaps several gallons, came through a hole in the cefling and _floor above through which a stove plpe projected in cold weather. Yendiewn Yowed shere was no water in the upper room, ad took the reporter up there to show him ‘that there Was not only no water in that room, but no vessel there that would hold Water, He says that ‘there was no chance for any outsider to have got into the upper room. ‘The yard 1s well protected by a wall over which only a cat could climb, so that Pendleton js certain no mischievous intruder could ever have entered there. The flying missiles have been seen by numerous individuals, and the general opinion is that some person must have n concealed upon the root. But, as Pendleton maintains, it 1s hard to explain, in the first place, how any ‘person, intent upon fun or reven; could have got ‘to the roof, and in the secon: piace it1s more dificult to explain how, he could ave procured the bottles in such numbers from 4 the lower floors without being seen. Many in the vicinity have made up their minds that the house is “haunted.” SS ‘THE FIRE YESTERDAY.- fire which broke out yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. W. F.
