HIDDEN TREASURES FoUND.-Balti-
more, October 2.-In September, 1873, the
National Bank of Baltimore was robbed Of
two tin boxes, one containing $4,000 i'm
bank notes belonging TO the bank. and the
other containing bonds of various coal and
other companies, aggregating $4,000, de-
posted by the late Col. William Nj. Boone,
together with stock certificates and private
papers. Detectives failed to find any trace
of the stolen property. On Friday last
young man, while hunting in the woods
near Woodbury., about three miles from the
city, saw two men prospecting with an iron
bar, apparently sounding for something
buried. On Tuesday last, while cunning
in the same place, he saw two men digging,
and they finally drove off without finding
what they were in search Of At night the
young man, with several friends, went to
the spot, and, after digging a while un-
earthed a tin box, which proved to be that
deposited by Colonel Boone, with all the
stolen bonds and number Of Boone's pri-
vate papers. No trace of the other box
was found.
In 1915 tho Catholic Church at Martins
burg West Virginia, was broken into and
robbed of all its altar adoTnments, among
which were half dozen heavily plated
candelabra. On Monday last these candel-

JEFFERSON COUNTY ROADS.

We are 10th TO INCEPTION this sub.
ject agaiH in spirit of criticism, but
the facts in the case indicate that
such course is necessary.
We are informed that in the
especial instance of the stage road to
Port Discovery, private money and
labor only has been expended to ef-
feet necessary repairs where public
funds should have been used. The
road was not long since obstructed
by fallen timber, but the stage driver
could get no help to reopen even
that portion Of it which runs through
district No. |. We are told that at
present there is good sized stream
of water running along the center OF
the road for some distance, near the
Masonic burying ground, that it has
damaged the road to the extent Of
at least forty or nifty dollars and that
it could have been turned out Of its
course by one or two days work, but
that the matter has been willully
neglected. Mr.. Sail y says he will be
compelled to suspend operations on
his stage line soon if he cannot get
assistance to keep the road in better
order. Mr.. S-has expended good
deal of private money and labor on
the road, and it is pity that he
should be thus imposed upon.
We might mention other roads,
but deem it sufficient to mention this
one as an example. The sooner our
county officials act upon the convlc.
tion that something should be done
in this respect, the better for the
people generally.

are manufactured. There may be |
wisdom il such an arrangement, but
It's difficult to see it, 1t is the same
old story: Licouse men to circulate
the itch and then punish those who
scratch themselves" The man who
lets his house burn up shall be sent
to the States Prison, but the one
who puts the fire to it till it does
burn up escapes in responsibility !
Now great conhagrations result from
little fires; 80 drunkenness is the
natural result of a drinking habit.
But the drinking habit is invariably
formed by the repetition Of individ
ual drinks. Whenever, therefore,
drunkenness is treated as a crime,
reason and consistency will demand
that the individual drink be treated
as a "germlnal crme"--the true
source Of all the subsequent crime
Of drunkenness-and the true way
to do sis to treat 1T as a crime and
not wait for it to bear fruit"
The loss of such man as Joseph
r. Lewis from the judicial bench,
where for nine years past he has
made his influence for good order
and Christian civilization to be felt
all over this Sound country, would
be deeply deplored by all good citi.
zens, were it not that he is succeeded
in office by another, Judge r. S.
Greene, equally good, unfinching,
and impartial. Judge Greene has
already made his appearance among
US, with the new District Clerk, Rev.
Mr.. Ludlow, of Olympia, and the
two will doubtless add much to the
moral force Of the community.
His Honor, Mayor Brown, editor
of the "Intelligencer," reached his
64th mile-post along the pathway of
life, on Friday, Feb. 2lst. Through
the forethought and cute manage
ment Of his excellent wife, Mr..
Brown returned home on that even
ing SURPRISED to find the apartments
brilliantly illuminated and a large
company of friends present to con-
gratulate him on the memorable oc-
casion. We may mention as among
the guests, His Honor Judge Greene,
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe, Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs. Adkins,
Mr.. and Mrs. Yesler, Mr.. and Mrs.
Brooks, Mr.. Jennings, Mrs. Judge
Jacobs, Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Matson,
Mr.. H. Butler, Mr.. and Mrs. Han.
ford, and many others. With ex-
ceeding great taste and atfability
Mrs. Brown was present everywhere
among the company, leaving no
chance for stiffness or formalty or
anything else that would mar the
pleasures of the evening. 1t is un.
necessary to add that a splendid COL
lation was prepared and served, add.
ing to the sociabiity of the occasion.
Mr.. Brown was the picture of health
and buoyancy, and seemed scarcely
like one who had passed the shady
side of fifty.

We may report, also, the good
cause Of temperance as on the ad
vance among old and young. A "Ju.
vsnile" has recently been organized
under the supervision Of Mesdames
Calvert and Parkhurst, which bids
fair to enroll among its members the
larger portion Of our juvenile popu.
laton.
The "Blue Ribbon club" started
by DR.. ]. w. Watts at the close of
his valuable course of lectures, is
constantly increasing its member
ship. 1t now numbers $50. The
last meeting Of this society was held
in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and was addressed by Judge Burke
in his peculiarly interesting and slo.
qusnt manner. The major part of
the Judges address was orthodox to
the core, but there was sophistry
enough in the latter part to serious
ly damage its effectiveness as a
whole. He had no faith in Prohib.
itory Liquor Law, and expressed no
sympathy for the present efforts Of
Temperance societies in laying the
foundations for such law in the flu.
ture. Indeed portion of the ad.
dress seemed decidedly lacking in the
whiskey element. He pleaded
quite strongly for sympathy and
kindness to saloon keepers, and made
us feel that Temperance people con-
stituted "contemptibls minority"
made up of hypocrites and fanatics.
But so it has ever been with the be-.
ginning of all reforms, not excepting
Christianity itself, which is not even
now in the majority. The truth is, that
like Christianity, the great temper
ance movement of to-day is founded
on the everlasting principles of JUS
tice, truth and right, and sooner or
later must prevail.
Right is right, as God is God;
And Right the day must win"
The "Orsgonian" Of Tuesday last
contains an editorial on "Drunken.
ness as Crime" presenting the
views Of DR.. H. A. Hartt, of Boston
1t says:
"Dr. HART recognizes the fact that
no device of Legislation can ever
prevent drunkenness; but he be.
lievss that by making it an offense
against law, and by Furnishing it by
Imprisonment, society may greatly
lessen its frequency, may protect it.
self against certain dangers, and may
strengthen the restraining influences
WHICH keep men from excess. Drunk
enness he regards as a gcrminal
crime, the source of two. thirds of
all other crimes, and tie oaly way
by which il can be suppressed is to
treat it as a crime and not wait for
/. to bear fruit. A drunken man is
dangerous man to a community,
just as lunatic is. Women are put
in terror by his appearance on the
street, and he is constant menace
to life and property. The doctor

Ex-senator Sprague, OF Rhode Island
and There is a Mr.. Sprague who may
hest be identified as the husband of Mis-
Kate Chase Sprague-has been astonish-
ing the natives of Providence by getting
himself up in his best bib and thicker,
and going ts church four Sundays III
succession. This important bit of infOr-
NATION has been communicated to Wash
iEgton, and the gossips of the national
capital infer that he is coming on to see
his wife. Mrs Sprague by the way, has
recently been decided by the district
court to be a legal nonentity. Whether
this is precisely equivalent to calling the
daughter of Chief Justice Chase and the
wife of Rhode Island senator nobody
we do not know, but it is probable tn at
the Photographic artist who sued her in
the aforesaid court may take that view
of the case, since she refused to pay his
bill, after acknowledge receipt of his
goods and perfect satisfaction rendered, !,
on the ground that she is married wo-
man and can have no separate estate.
The will of the lady's father was intro
duced into testimony, ami the fact prov
ed that she had received, with her sister
about 500, 900 in personals frsm the late
chief Justice; but all to no account. The
court ruled that what she had she didn't
have, what she owns doesn't belong to
her, and that she can't be supposed of
any account anyway, except, perhaps,
socially to Aer husband. Meanwhile the
photographer is referred, with his little
bill, to her husband; but the public long
since got the idea that in money matters
as in all other material respects, Sena-
| tor Sprague is q nonentity and, II this
should also prove true, the artist will gel

plains of-"nothing out OF nobody" Re

MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, May q

Major Pugh, a prominent merchant
here, was shot by burglars last night, dy-
ing the following evening, and his re-
mains were inferred on Sunday. Y-ster-
day a rumor prevailed that Mr.. Pugh
had accidentally shot himself while
crawling through fence. DR.. Wendell,
his family physician, denied the report,
saying that IL was impossible as the
wosnd was undoubtedly made by ball
at least four times us large as those OF Mr..
Pugh'r revolver. DIR. Murphy, who had
also examined the wound, asserted ltwas
possible that in all probability 1t was
made by small Dall and that Pugh. un-
der the excitement of the moment, had
shot himself while craw ling through the
fsnce after the supposed burglars. Pub
lIc excitement grew so high that the dis
interment of Pughs bod was demanded
ana a post mortem examination was
held this morning. when the ball was
found to be seven times the size of those
founy in Pugh's pistol. This startling
revelation increased the excitement, ami
S4OO, beside other rewards, was imme-
diately raised. beside $500 already offer
ed for the discovery of the criminal.
Pugh is believed to have been the vic
tim of planned assassination.
