Capt. Kidd.

Search for hidden treasure, whether
deposited by nature or buried by misers
or freebooters, has always been one of
the most fascinating occupations for the
bulk of mankind. Something in the
very name of concealed gold SO appeals
to their greed as to mar, if nos destroy
for the time, all their GOODNESS Of judg-
ment. The burial of Capt. Kidd's ac-
tual, or imagined, treasure exemplifes
this popularity. Men have been hunt
ing for it periodically on the banks OF
the Hudson and theshores Long Island
Sound for century and half Just
now, number of Missionaries seem to be
confident that they have discovered the
the place, nearly opposite Peekskill,
whore great deal Of the pirates gold
lies in sunken ship in the river, ready
to be recovered by those enterprising
souls. William Kidd was not, as has
been sometimes thought, English by
birth. He was an American, probably
a New Yorker, and appears to have fol-
lowed the sea from his youth. About
1893, when he was, presumably, some
40 years old, he was accounted one of
the boldest and most skillfu' ship mas
ters sailing from this port Piratical
inroads had at that time grown to he so
frequent and serious upon British COM
merce that company was formed in
which William III. and several promin-
ent noblemen were shareholders, to equip
an armed vessel for their suppression as
well as for profit, to be derived from re-
captures. At the suggestion of Col.
Richard Livingston, Kidd, whohad some
experience as Captain of privateer
against the French, received commits
sion signed by the King as commander
of the Adventure Galley carrying 30
guns. Sailing from Plymouth, England
in the Spring of 1896, he cruised for
some months off our shores, occasionally
coming into this port He..here recruit.
ed his force to $50 men and then sailed
for the East Indies and the African
coast. During the voyage be determin-
ed to turn pirate himself, and, finding
his officers and crew willing to Join him,
began plundering whatever ships he found
off Malabar and Madagascar. He re-
turned hither in 1898 with a great deal
Of booty; buried portion Of j. on Gard
ner's Island, and then went to Boston,
where he appeared with characteristic
audacity in the streets, believing tina: he
could, under his com mission, clear him
self of any charge Of piracy that nigh
be brought against him. The reports of
the enormity of his outrages had reach
ed England, and caused the Earl of Bel
lamont, then Governor of Massachusetts,
and New York, and one Of the share
holders Of the Adventure Galley enter
prise, to have Kidd apprehended and
conveyed to London. AS is was very
hard to prove him pirate, he was ar
ranged fopkilling one Of his crew, : oan
Moore, by striking him with bucket
during quarrel, and after an obviously
unfair trial he was condemned and hang
ed. The treasures he had left-about
500 ounces Of gold, 900 ounces Of silver,
aud several bags of silver ornaments
were secured by Bellostin; but in the
vulgar belief these formed an lasigni6
cant portion of his plunder, which i'm
aginative persons have been seeking ever
since.-New Yory Times.

READINGS NEW ROUTE TO
BUFFALO,.

The Reading Railroad has lately
been pushing its new road, which
will give it connection with Buffa-
10. The road was projected some
years since, and the Reading has
spent considerable sums on the
branch west of Williamsport. The
plan is to build a road from Williams
port to Port Allegheny in Mexican
county, where a connection will be
made with the Philadelphia, New
York and Buffalo Railroad Com
pany. II is said that Mr.. Gowen has
money promises by London capital
lists to finish the connecting link, on
which considerable work has been
done, and if he fails in getting cash
abroad some Buffalo parties will
como to his relief. The new road
when completed, will enter into
competition with the Philadelphia
and Erie Railroad, and will give the
Reading large Western grain and oil
shipments.

SECOND EDITION
A REPUBLICAN SCHEME TO CAP
TURE THE SENATE COM
MITTEES,

WAsHfsaToN, November 9.-Some
interest 10 manifested hore in report that
the Republicans expect, upon the re-.
OF organzation of the Senate OIL the 4th OF
March next, to be able to capture the
control Of the committees and everything
else worth having and leave the Demo-
cratic majority practically powerless for
the next years. The drift Of the scheme,
SO far is now apparent, Is the employ
ment of the Vica-President' casting vote
in the reorganization. To say nothing OF
its unconstitLtionality, the scheme has
the fatal fault of resting upon the assump-
tion that la the reorganization General
Malone will vote with the republicans
because he is dissatisfied with the Demo
cratic National Committee for recogniz-
ing the regular wing OF the party in
Virginia instead Of the Readjustsr wing
which he led. Consequently the Republi-
cans are eager 10 infer, he will satisfy
his wounded pride in this way. Now,
General Malone has never been any
thing but o Democrat. 1t was as such
that he was chosen Senator, for the
Readjusters never pretended to be any
thing but straight out Democrats on mat
tecs outside of State issues. Indeed,very
many of the most pronounced Democrats
helped them carry the State last year,
and the sole ground Of their allegiance
to General Malone was because of their
concurrence In his views regarding the
disposal of State debt. With General
Malone voting with the Democrats,as it
is almost certain he will, the Democrats
will continue for another session to hold
both the chairmanship and the majority
on all committees.

ANEW USE FOR Blu RNT CORK

HOW A YOUNG WHITE GIRL WAS ENA-
COUNTY.
KINGSTON, N. Y, November e.-So-
cial circles at Gardiner, In this county,
are greatly excited at present over the
elopement and marriage Of Miss Carrie
M. Plant, q young white woman, with
James W. Sampson, a mulatte. Miss
Plant is a niece Of Mr.. John ii. Deyo,
q well-to-do farmer residing in the town
OF Gardiner, who during the war was
extensively engaged In trading along
Mississippi and was estimated to be worth
s15o,000. BE was we'll known at New
Orleans and tbereAbouts. After the
war Mr.. Deyo settled down on his farm
in this country, and az he was childless
his niecs, Carrie Plant, was adopted into
the family. During the past summer
Mr.. Deyo, being sick and unable to
assist in the working Of his farm, hired
ed man about twenty-one years OF age.
He was = good worker, polite and pleas
ant about the house and farm, and
soon won the goodwill and respect Of
those about him. After time 1t was
noticed that Wesley was paying Miss
Plant too much attention,and her uncle
two weeks ago concluded that 1t would
be advisable to send his niece off on a
visit for q month or so. But before he
could make his intentions known both
Wesley and his niece were missing.
Search was at once instituted, but with
out avail.
The climax was reached on Satur-
day last, when 1t was discovered that
after encountering many difficulties
the runaway pair had been made man
and wife. Sampson and his bride, it
finally leaked out, had visited . num-
ber of ministers and Justice Of the
Peace but under no circumstances
would they listen to their entreaties to
be married. They had about given up
in despair, and left for the house OF
one 6ames Cantine, who keeps a low
resort. There the wife Of Cantlne Ia
white woman) resolved that the pail
should be united even il she had to re.
sort to strategy. 1t was decided that
Miss Carries face should be blackened
with burnt cork. This was done, and
the pair started off to the parsonage OF
the Reformed Dutch Church of Stone
Ridge, where Rev. V. s. Hurlbert, the
pastor, without for a moment suspect
ing the deception, united them in we'd
lock. When the news reached her for
mer home her uncle was nearly crazed.
Sampson and his wife have settled
down at Lapala, negro colony not
far from this city. Miss Plant, who is
now about seventeen years of age
would have fallen heir to the larger
| part of the property Of her uncle, who
is estimated to be worth from 500, 00(
| to $40. 900.

A SAGACIOUS DOG.

"Tobe," George w. Bennum's fa-
vorite setter dog, was seen by several
members of the family on Saturday
last eagerly trying to catch mouse
that was in basket half filled with
corn. He would shake the basket,turn
it round, bat the mouse was safely hid
in the ears of corn, and "Tobe" could
not get at it. After repeated failures,
he began deliberately to take the ears
of corn out of the basket with his
mouth and paw, and lay them careful
ly upon the floor. When the basket
was nearly emptied, he succeeded in
catching the mouse, and killed it, then
he took the ears of corn and replaced
them one by one in the basket, walk
ing off triumphantly with the victim
of his sagacity.
Mr.. Bennum has taught "Tobe"
many tricks, and he is very proud OF
him.

ESTABLISHMENT DISCLOSED.
''Nothing succeeds like success" is
an old adage, but it is good one, and
it applies to M. L. Lichtenstien, the
well known dry goods and notion mel
chant, No. 1876 Market street.
Mr.. Lichtenstein is so we'll known
in this city that it is hardly necessary
to refer TO him, except it be in refer
ence to the improvements that he has
made, and the large increase in his
business, In order to supply tho de-
mand made upon him he has recently
added another story to his building
This story was built expressly for a
sewing room, and strict attention has
been paid to every detail in order to
make it comfortable for the opera.

1t extends the entire length of the
building, and is Bit and airy, having
a number of windows front and back,
and also skylight which can be open
ed and closed al will.
Another great improvement made
by Mr.. Lichtenstein, and one that is
hailed with delight by the operative 8,
is that he has introduced steam into
the building, and all the sewing ma
chimes are run by steam.
Within two or three years past, he
has began to make ladies and misses
coats of all descriptions, and of such a
quality that they have grown in great
demand. In order to meet the de-
mand, the additional story was added.
In the room he has placed forty-fouI
New Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma
chimes, which are kept constantly run
ming, and as the business increases he
will add more as he has space for forty
four more in the same room, and like
number in the second story.
He is now engaged in shipping
cloaks to a firm in New York, who
are so we'll satisfied with them, that 4
few days ago they wrote Mr.. L., that
] they would like to have more, an(
they would take one hundred per da.
if he would ship them.
Besides disposing Of them in New
York, he is receiving orders from
firms in Philadelphia. Baltimore
Washington and Richmond. He nov
employees seventy three hands in hi
store and sewing room together.-
When the cloak season closes, h
keeps the iris busy in making u
dresses and underwear. Mr.. Lichten
