Hidden Treasure.

Jane ana Susan Shaw, two old maiden
ladies, lived for u number Of years very quietly
at 1O11 Spruce street, Philadelphia. Jane in.
herlted an estate worth 100000 from her
brother Charles, with the understanding that
she should pay her sister an annuity OF $50.
Jane died in April, 1881, leaving everything
10 her sister for life, and then the other
legatees. Susan followed her in April OF this
year. She left her properly 10 tho same rela-
lives as Jane, with one exception. Charles s..
Forsyth, who was executor OF both Wills, while
making an inventory, stumbled across four
mysterious chests In n cupboard OF the Shaw
house. They were opened after great trouble,
and they were found 10 be full of silver and
gold. No mention had been made Of them by
the sisters, and their existence was never sus-
lected. A carriage was called ana the money
taken TO Il bank. Two men were employed
Ave hours In counting 1t. IL amounted TO S21,-
500. Mr.. Forsyth credited the money 10
susan's account. Objections were intorp0sed,
however, by the residuary legatees under
James VIII. Testimony was produced before
Judge Ashman, OF the Orphans Court, 10 show
that Susan had exhausted her means In In.
vestments made shortly before her death, and
could not therefore have had any title 10 the
money. Jane, It was testified, had been OF
economical habits and lived far within her In
come. After considering all the facts Judge
Ashman awarded the money TO Jano Shaw's
estate.

The Mystery of the Flats.

Much concern and Indignation are mani
tested by the people Of the District OF Colum.
bia over the probable failure OF the approprla-
ton FOR improving the flats. There Is q mys-
terry about this business not easy TO explain
from anything that appears on the surface.
Without special opposition, and OF unqucs.
manner OF hard luck, and tho approprla-
ton Is I'm danger Of falling altogether.
Is there n counter current beneath tho
the surface, a scheme for pOstponlng
the improvement to n moro convenient
season In tho interest OF certain persons or
ring, as II We're? What more probable? Tho
fats have long been plum which certain
sundry patriotic citizens have coveted. Strange
is 1t that when all manner Of schemes with
millions In them have floated on, the improve
ment of tho flats, ameasure which no one OPP
posed and everybody favored, should DO on
the point of faillngl AS n whole, It has not
been good year for the District, notwlth-

everything that was asked granted. What In

A Vote Agninst GIndstonc.

III the House OF Commons yesterday after
noon, during the debate on the report Of the
ernmcnt had taken measures, unknown to
Parliament. TO operate against secret societies.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Trevelyan,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, TO limit tho right
OF search to the day time, except in the case of
secret societies, was strongly opposed by the
Conservatives and others. Mr.. Gladstone de.
clared that II the amendment was rejected he
would have TO consider his personal position.
The amendment was rejected by a vote OF 207
TO 104
When the figures were announced Mr.. Glad
stone said that under ordinary circumstances
he would have asked the House TO postpone
further proceedings, but IN the remarkable
state of Ireland, he did not feel that 1t was
right 10 take that course.
In the House Of Commons yesterday after
noon Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary,
denied tho statement that bloodhounds would
be used In Ireland for tracking murderers.

Mt Ii p. m. Mr.. Trevelyan moved the third
reading, which was carried, Messrs. Ceilings,
Cowcn, Labouchere and Storey being the only
dissentents.
The supporters of tho Government do not
think ministerial crisis will result from tho
vote on Mr.. Trevelyan's amendment, as Mr..
Gladstone feels that tho vote was especially
directed against himself. II Mr.. Gladstone,
however, should go through tho form OF re.
signing It is understood that his resignation
would not be accepted. Tho Liberals attribute
the defeat to bad management on tho part OF
their whips. The London NeiCS says no au-
thoritative statement can be made as TO the
