Careless “Ghost” Walks About in Brooklyn House and Seares a Big Crowd So that All Hands Have Spinal Chills. Persons passing the house No. S11 Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, about mid- night last night, were attracted by the strange actions of a light that moved from floor to floor. ‘The house had a “for rent" sign om the door and the shades were drawn, but behind them could be seen the moving light. Midnight and Brooklyn do not sug- west a crowd at any time, but defore the Franklin avenue house inside of half an hour was a fair slzed crowd. A couple of De Kalb and Franklin ave- nue cars halted and the passengers swelled the gathering until there were some 30) persons watching tho light. “That house 1s haunted," eaid a young man, “Didn't you ever hear the story? T used to think it was a voles in uae next block, but this ts the one.” In due ume word was carried to the owner, Mrs, Gabrielle, of No. 319 Han- cock street. She sald whatever was in the house was there without her con- went and she felt certain no spook had rented the place.

Inquired what was wanted. “What are you doing here?” asked the crowd. ‘The ‘man looked about the street, and then said: “Why, you idlots and past masters in the rubbemeck industry, [ am laying carpets. I rented this house on Satur- day and am putting down my carpets to-night. Do you want to see the re- ceipt for the rent?” “Tam the owner,” said Mrs, Gabrielle. “Well, I rented ‘it from a real estate nt.” replied the man with the whiskers, The cars started on thelr way, the crowd melted. and the new tenant and the owner were left together to talk over the condition of the property.
