GLASSBORO, April 12—There is general rejoicing among the citizens and business men of this old glass town today over the announcement that John P. Whitney, the head of the firm of the big Whitney glass factories here, had agreed to the demand of the Blowers’ association, even to the recognition of the union, While this was doubly welcome new in view of the fact that the general feeling was that a strike would likely be declared at any hour, and would mean much priva- tion and suffering among many of the families, it was also a genuine surprise even to many of the blow- ers, and some of them refused to put any credence in the statement at- \tributed to Mr. Whitney until later in the day, when a representative of the firm at the company's store vert- fled the news to the blowers, who expressed their delight at the favor- able change in the firm's attitude |by shouts of “good,” “good,” and |other like phrases, all of which clearly demonstrated that the men are not the disgruntied set so often jcharged, but rather are skilled workmen, who have merely sought to insure perpetuity of their rights by organt jon and arbitration. to the apparition, but it bobs up se. renely after each volley, Some of the neighbors are much frightened, and threaten to move out of thelr houses if the mystery continues, There are two excavations in the rear of the house, which is an Myre ue ue, and it is from these that the shadowy forma arise. Tonight over thirty men and boys and some women visited the lonely spot to hold communication with the spirit and to endeavor to solve the mys- tery. The ghost hunters reached the haunted house just after dark and hid themselves in the tall grass, In 4 short time the spirit made its appearance. It arome from one of the cess-pools as a white, swelling object, grew to about eight t in height and appeared to be c! of the ground. The specter finally dis- appeared altogether. The boys who were watching then threw rocks at the house, and finally went away, leaving several men still hidden tn the grass. About 10 o'clock the mysterious visitor appeared again in the same form, but from another excavation, One of the watchers sprang up and ran toward the object, when a deep, muffied voice came from the pit say+ ing: “Don't come any neares or I'll shoot.” The adventurous ghost-hunter re- treated in terror. An hour later the white object arose again, The watchers left the place at midnight more mystified than ever. Some say that the solution of the mystery is simple, and that a wag & possible solution of the mystery: The ghost always appears from one or the other of the cess These pools are connected by pip with the house, and also with ruins of « burned house near ‘The mysterious apparition appears as 4 white puff of smoke or vapor, or like @ lace curtain dropped from @ second story window. It would be reasonable, therefore, to suppose that the creator of the ghost con- ceals himself in either the house or the ruins, and by forcing a puff of smoke through the sewer pipes, forms the apparition. By speaking into the pipe the voice would ap- pear to come from the cess pool, and would have a hollow sound. It ts said that a murder once tool place on the spot where the white form appears, and that it is the ghost of the man which ts disturbing the neighborhood. Another story has it that some one is trying to bring down the price of property for the purpose of purchasing It. At all events the ghost story of Fair Oaks is causing more interest than any thing else just at present. Jail Breaker Found.
