TREASURE FOUND.
An Iron Box and $4,000 of Buried
Money.

An Iron Box and $4,000 of Buried
Money.
DAYvILLE, Pa, December 2.-George
Stout and Henry Adler, while digging for
roots on an island in the Susquehanna river,
pear this place, yesterday afternoon, came
upon an iron box which contained when
opened $4,000, distributed as follows
$4,000 in Mexican silver dollars, $4,000
in gold ioubloons and 81, 900 in small silver
ceins. When the discovery was made known
hundreds Of people went to the island to see
whether it was true or not, and all were con-
vinced.
The Fortunate Finders.
The men who found the treasure are poor
laborers who were formerly employed at the
Danville Iron Works, but were suspended
some months ago on account of scarcity
of work. The two men live side by side
and, as they we're out of employment. with
large families, they resorted to gathering
roots and herbs for the druggists OF this
place and surrounding towns. Yesterday
morning while at work, Stout remarked to
Alder that he would like at some time to
strike gold mine. so that he would be able
to comfortably support his family. Alder
smiled and said, Never mind, George you
will hit it yet" The two men are now so
overcome with JOY that they are unable to
eat their meals.
How the money got where it was found is
mystery, but it supposed to have been
placed there by some bank robbers many
years 400. The money is in good sta.e
of preservation. The silver dates as far
back as 1882 and as recent as 1850, 1865
and 1868. The Mexican dollars, however,
are much older, and show signs ofusage.
The whole town is alive with excitement,
and ebay hundreds can be seen digging
away near where the treasure was found In
the hope of discovering something valua

WASHINGTON, December 2.-High pro-

the recommendation contained in the re
port OF the Secretary of the Treasury, and
many of them don't try to conceal their
disgust at the free trade tendencies, as they
express it. of the short term secretary. The
message of President Arthur IS warmly
commended on all sides, but it will scarcely
lead to any great results this session, owing
TO the fear of the Democrats that they may
lose some credit for reform if they allow
the Republican President to lead them.
