A HAITTED HOUSE.
The Colored Tenant and His Nelfhbwabreatly Perplexed.
A STAR REPORTER INVESTIGATE.BOTTLK8 AMDBRICKS AND PIECE8 OK OAS FIFE AND IRONSENT FT.YINQ OVER A THREE-STORY BRICK DWELL¬ING.
The inmates of the brick house on the northwestcorner ot 4# street and Missouri avenue are keptin a constant state or trepidation day and night bythe mysterious antics of some invisible agencies.The bouse is kept as a hotel by Pendleton, a col¬ored man, who, when guests are scarce and busi¬ness dull, adds to his earnings by cobbling. Aboutthe only occupants at present are Pendleton, hisfamily, and one or two assistants. Until veryrecently unusual quiet bad prevailed about thepremises for several months. A failure toprocure a renewal of the license compelledthe closing of the bar-room three orfour months ago, and after thatthe house seemed to lose Its attractions for its for-mer colored patrons. Several nights ago the In¬mates were startled at a sound betokening a crashot glassware Just outside the house, several ofthem ran out to the Missouri avenue side, but theywere glad to scurry back into the house. Therewas a sort ofHAIL STORM OF GINGER-POP AND 80DA-WATER BOTTLESfalling around the house. The bottles apparentlycame flying over the bouse from the north side,and to that side, where there is a yard Inclosed bya very high wall, Pendleton and his associateshastened with the view of ascertaining what forcepropelled the bottles. There was nobody in theyard, and, to the surprise and terror of Pendletonand his family, the shower of bottles begun to fallin the yard as If thrown from thestreet. The missiles were not confined tobottles, but brickbats, whole bricks, piecesof old iron, stones, &c. were sent flying over theljotise, flrst from on<* side and then from the other.This was kept up at intervals during the entirenight. Every now and then residents of adjoininghouses would be awakened by the crash of bottles,apparently Jailing from a height of 60 or 70 feet tothe pavement below. Early next morning almostthe entire neighborhood gathered around thehouse,
endeavoring TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY.The presence of a crowd did not check the myste¬rious thrower, who had muscle euough to projectbottles and other missiles over a large three-storyhouse. When a Star reporter arrived at the cor¬ner of Missouri avenue and4# street, about 8 a.m.,there were at least twenty persons assembled. Inan instant a whirring noise caused everybody tolook 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..Next a piece of iron gas-pipe, weighing about twopounds, came flying over the house. The crowddivided, some going to the yard on the oppositeside. The missiles continued to fly, flrst from oneside and then the other. Pendleton and one ortwo others who went to the roof declared thatwhile up there they saw the bottles aud other ob¬jects flying over the top.The star reporter made an examination of the
f(remises. The sidewalk on Missouri avenue wasiierully covered with the lragments of brokenbottles. The pavement of the yard on the oppo¬site side presented a similar spectacle.
PENDLETON THINK9 IT IS SPOOKS."Who is doing this7" Tuk Star reporter asked.Pendleton."Fo' God, I wlsht I knowed, sah. I
dunno what ter make outen' It. I'se done all Icould to fine out, but It beats ine. Tain't no humanhan's as duz It, dat I kno.' Wliar's de man datcould fling a bottle over dls hyar house? Dat'swhat I'd like ter know. Dey ain't nary man llvln'kin do it."Pendleton, with a countenance betraying fear
and anxiety, picked up a piece of iron gas pipe andsaid: "See dls hyar. Well, It's been over dis hous'mo'en twenty times, fus one way, den de udder.I tuk dls (the gas pipe) and dls hyar (another pieceof iron), and I put dem in my room and look de do'.Fo" God, by de time I got outen de house agin, deybote cum a flyln' ober agin. Dey was gon' from deroom, but de do' was still locked. I went In dar tosee."
BOTTLES WHICH GOT OCT OF A CLOSED ROOM.The bottles used, Pendleton says, were his.
Some of them were In the basement and some inthe hall of the flrst floor. He declared that whenhe discovered that the mysterious agency wasdestroying his bottles, he took those that wereleft 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 house."Den it's de smartes' sumbody dat eber I see,"he replied. "Kase we bin watcliln' de top o' de
house an on bofe sides, and still de bottles keepon a flyln'." He declared that he took some of thebottles In a room and shut the door and that be¬fore he could turn round the bottles "was 'Jls dungon' and a flying' ober de house."The top of the house can only be reached by
means or a ladder from the attic of Pendleton'shouse, through a trap in the roof. All of the bottlesIn Pendleton s place were thrown and destroyed,but the bottle shower continued last night. Whena Star reporter visited Pendleton this morning lievowed he dlnd't know where the bottles now beingused are procured from. He and his family aresatisfied that It is a supernatural agency that isannoying them, and nothing can shake their be¬lief.
A SHOWER OF WATER FROM A DRV ROOM.Early this morning several of the family were in
a room on the flrst floor, when suddenly a quantityof water, perhaps several gallons, came through ahole In the celling and floor above through whicha stove pipe projected in cold weather. Pendletonvowed there was no water in the upper room, aftdtook the reporter up there to show him thatthere was not only no water In that room, but novessel there that would hold water. He says thatthere was no chance tor anj outsider to have gotInto the upner room. The yard Is well protectedby a wall over which only a cat could climb, sothat Pendleton is certain no mischievous Intrudercould ever have entered there. The flying missileshave been seen by numerous Individuals, and thegeneral opinion is that some person must havebeen concealed upon the roof. But, as Pendletonmaintains, it Is hard to explain, in the flrst place,how any person. Intent upon fun or revengecould have got to the root, aud In the seconc.
Elace It is more difficult to explain how he couldave procured the bottles In such numbers rrom
the lower floors without being seen. Many In thevicinity have made up their inlnds that the house13 "haunted."
The Fire Yesterday..A lire which broke outyesterday arternoon at the residence of Mr. W. F.Guindou, (rjl D street, as mentioned in The Star,was much more disastrous than at flrst reported.Mr. Gulndon was absent at the lime, but Ills wire,a delicate lady, rushed through the flames, close<,doors and windows to shut off the drart, audthereby prevented greater damage, but she wasseverely burned about the race in her efforts. Theclothing of Mr. Guindou and tamlly, including hischildren's wardrobes, was so damaged as to bepractically useless, together with thtir householdtoods. The damage to the house, which Is ownedby Mr. Stllson HutchIns, is estimated at andMr. Guindou puts the whole loss at $1,050. Theprompt arrival or the tire department and the skilland vliror with which the lormer worked pre¬vented in all probability a very extensive confla¬gration.Washington Clergymen Attend a Ceremony

BLIND PATTERSON'S BIG PEWSIOlf
Important Arrests by a Special Afeatof tlte Pension Office*
DR. MILLS AND john LAIPLOW CAPTURED IK vuirOINIA.TO BE TAKEN TO ELHlRi, K. T., FOB TRIAL.
There have recently appeared In Thb Star andother papers accounts of the payment of $13,000pension arrearages to an old and sightless soldierknown as "Blind" Patterson, of Elmira, N. Y., andthe subsequent discovery that the claim was afraudulent one. It appears that Dr. Robt. X. Mills,formerly of Greene County, Va., and well knownIn this city for some years past, was the agent Inthe 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 Millshad secured the bulk of Patterson's money he leftNew York, neglecting to pay this $1,000, and thatthe affiant gave Information of the fraud. Thepolice department In this city received a telegramon the 17th Inst., asking that Mills be arrested.Detectives carter and Malion ascertained that Dr.Mills had been at the St, James Hotel that morn¬ing, but had left on the Sou! hern tralD. Surmis¬ing that he was on his way to his former home InGreene County, they gave the Information to thePension office. One of the special agents of thatomce. Mr. Jacobs, left here Wednesday and foundthat Mills and his wife and Jno. Laldlow, a shoe¬maker, who Is alleged to have made the otherfraudulent affidavit, had Joined Mills the day afterhis arrival In Greene county, and that they wereall at the house of a sister of Mills, 14 miles fromOrange Court-House. Calling In the aid of SheriffHlcketts, of Orange County, the arrest of Dr. Mills,Mrs. Mills and Laldlow was effected. Mr. Jacobs,with the sheriff and Mr. Waltork, arrived In thiscltv with the prisoners last night, and tney weretaken to the Sixth Precinct station an-1 the twomen 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 Illshotel in New York, and had bought a farm for hissister In Greene county, Virginia. Mrs. Mills as¬serts that she knew nothing of Dr. Mills' connec¬tion with the case, aDd did not know there wasany suspicion of wrong about It till she read thestatements In the papers last Sunday week. Dr.Mills does not deny Ills connection with the case,but asserts that as far as he was concerned therewas no fraud about It, and that he can satisfac¬torily explain everything, and adds tnat he Isanxious for a speedy and lull investigation. Thetwo men will be taken by the officers to Elmira to¬day. Mrs. Mills Is not held in custody, but willlikely go with her husband.
?Should Not Curtail the Time.
To the Editor of The Evening Stab:It Is respectfully suggested that there are two
sides to every question, and the District commis¬sioners will do the fair thing if they consider theside of the people before they make any suchorder as that said to be advocated by the waterdepartment under which the use of street sprink¬lers would be restricted to thirty minutes. Thoseof our citizens occupying corner houses cannotsprinkle their lawns In the time named. If thereis abuse in the use of water there is a remedy, andit should be applied by the police. Your sensibleeditorial advocating cleanliness during the hotmonths was probably based upon the assumptionthat there was an abundance of water availablehere, but the proposed order of the water boardlooks as though a water famine was Impending.Tne Potomac still flows by our doors; we havewater works which cost, heaven only knows howmany millions; we pay large taxes, and think weare entliled to something more than thirty min¬utes' use of the water in hot weather. If the hon¬orable water board will condescend to receive asuggestion I would invite Its attention to the wasteof water in the Government Departments, navy-yard, engine houses, hotels and the somewhat toofrequent breaks in pipes put down under the su¬pervision of water board officials, as subjects moreworthy of attention than occasional use of streetsprinklers.
