HoWgate Heard From.

The Washington correspondent of the Balh-
more Sun says that some days since private
detective came there to look into the matter of
The rumored arreskof Capt Howgate. He had
been told there was a large reward offered but
he did not know by whom. He thought he
had some good information as to the where
abouts of the captain, and if there was any
money in the case he would bring Ho wgate
back Inside Of week. Hewas first directed
to the United States marshal's Office, ii
being from the custody of a deputy mar
shall that he escaped. Marshal Henry,
who filed the Office when Howgate escaped,
personally offered reward of $500, but that
reward fell when he left the office Of marshal
The detective inquired at the department Of
justice, United States jail and police head
quarters, but nothing could be ascertained
about any reward being offered. This detec-
tive says that Howgate spent the winter in Ber-
muda, but returned, to, this. county in the
spring, and has been in Southern maryland
within days railroad ride of Washington al
most all of the time since.

ception at Wier, N. H., upon the occasion Of his
visit to the encampment of the New Hampshire
Veterans association. Cannon doomed forth

In four years the railroad directors Of
the country, are believed to have
pumped 5000, 900, 900 of water into
their stock. Although the real cost ST
building railways has continued to di-
minish, the price to investors has in
creased $4,446 per mile Of road. This
increase was in addition to an already,
enormously inflated capital. Whereas
the building of roads could not have
cost over $4,000 the shareholders
paid, or were supposed to pay, $4,000
per mile,

Personal Gossip.

One year ago, Aug. 7, 1883, the ven
cradle Mrs. Lucinda Sheldon Howard =,
of North Reading, celebrated her one
hundredth birthday, and large COM
pany, drawn from many of the surround
ing towns, assembled to do her honor.
It had been the custom for years to OBJ
serve her birthday anniversary, and on
this, the browning ono of all, special
pains were taken to make the occasion
q memorable one. When the company
broke up, the feeling was general that
it was the last time those present should
ever be called together for like pur-
pose. But days and months went on,
and when the full year came round,
marking the one hundred and first mile
stone in her earthly pathway, the aged
lady seemed brighter and her hold up
on life even stronger than the year be-
fore. OF course the occasion did not
pass without proper observance, al
though the preparations for the cele-
bration were hardly SO extensive as
those of last year.
An old German had frequently stated
that he was going to give his daughter
$40, 900 after she was married. Although
she was as homely as stone fence and
the shady side of IS, she had lovers
three times three, and finally she gath
cred in Al good looking reprobate. After
they had been married about a month it
occurred to the young member that q
motion to take up the appropriation bill
would be in order. When he had sue
ceeded in making his solid old father
in-law comprehend the situation, the
old gentleman ostentatiously shelled out
!, q dollar. The young husband still lin
gered as if he was waiting for the per-
Torrance to go on, but the old man rang
down the curtain by saying. eva, I:give
dot $40, 600, but not all atvouct-I pays
81 every year. - Texas Siftings.
William n. Chadwick, cashier Of the
Pacific Bank, at Bar Harbor, Me-. says
the Boston Transcript, has lately been
making large purchases of lands in diff
ferent parts of the island, and of a cot
tage in the town. The bank directors
grew curious, out Mr.. Chadwick told
them that he thought his purchases did
not concern them. Since this it has
leaked out that Mr.. Chadwick discov-
cred some time since, in the cellar of
his old house, five barrels of gold and
silver. In fixing the foot of his stairs
he had occasion to remove fiat stone
there, and discovered the first barrel,
and on digging deeper found four
more. Mr.. Chadwick is quite impervi-
Gus to all questions in regard to the
matter. So ''
