A trio of drunken fellows entered the
bar-room of the Union house. at the corner
of Fourth and Rosabel streets, shortly after
midnight last night, and demanded drinks.
The bartender, John Swanson, refused to
sell them anything and ordered them out
of the place. One OF the three,
Peter Haskins lamp-cleaner who
works for Seeger Bros. recognized as
an acquaintance. Charles Norberg, boarder
at the house, who was in the bar-roOm
at the time. Norberg, who was also drunk,
insisted on the party having drink. The
bartender again refused and HaskinS said
he knew place where they could get all
they wanted and insisted on Norberg join
ing him and his friends. Swanson ordered
Harskins out of the house, but instead of
going Haskins assaulted him and the
others joined in the assault Seeing that
he was likely to get the worst OF the fight,
Swanson ran behind the bar and got a
revolver. At this Haskns and his friends
ran, and just as Haskins who was the last
one to get out, passed through

HIDDEN TREASURE z.
The Search Ends I'm the Arrest OF the
Man Who Concealed 1t.

New ORLEANS, La, Sept 10.-Dr.
arrested here to-day, charged with embezzle-
ment by a number of persons, whom he de-
frauded out of money to search for hid
den treasure. Adams claims to have been
a practicing physician in Massachusetts
when the war broke out. He ShOuldered a
musket, and joined Company A, Seven
teenth Massachusetts volunteers. A pOr-
ton of the command came with Butler to
New Orleans. In a foraging expedition,
three soldiers of the regiment entered a
dwelling on the Magnolia planta-
ton, twenty miles above New Or
leans. on the right bank of the
river, and carried off some thirty Thousand
dollars in gold and silver, 81, 800 OF 1t in
silver half dollars, 81, 900 in dollars and the
remainder in gold. Being afraid to enter
the city with so much money, on reaching
a pecan grove about half a mile from the
locks, at the canal opposite Greenville, they
selected tree prominent for its size and
some peculiarities about its appearance
which made it conspicuous. At the foot OF
this tree they buried the money and then
took bearings, one Of the party being a
civil engineer. Each of tile three men was
furnished with copy of this, and the
marauders returned to New Orleans, in
tending to return after the war and
recover the money. His two COM
panions were killed, and Adams desperately
wounded soon after. Adams was taken to
a Northern hospital, and left it paralyzed
and helpless. When he recovered the use
of his limbs, only month ago, he returned
to New Orleans and at once began to
search for his treasure. He found, to his
dismay' that the old pecan trees had been
cut down and only the young ones left. and
was consequently unable to recognize the
tree under which the treasure was buried.
He devoted himself, however, for three
weeks. to delving for it. A few days ago
he took several other parties into partner
ship with him. who advanced better outfit
for surveying the land and digging for the
money but as he has unearthed 10 treasure
his partners had him arrested to-day.

MIDST THE MADDING THRONG.

T. D. O'Bren, the gallant captain of Em
met light artillery, now walks around the city
and tries to avoid his friends as much as pos
sble The captain has done nothing that he
need be ashamed of, but circumstances have
been monkeying with him, and every time he
is identified on the street by friend he has
to go and pay his money for cigars or other
two-for-a-quarter material. 1t happened in
this way: The captains hobby is circuses.
A real. ripe and well-developed circus with
menagerie attachment sends the blood
through his veins on a gallop, and he never
misses one if it strikes within walking distance
of the corporate limits of the town that he
lives in.
He made great plans for attending Bar
NUNS big show. and as fiaring gas always
lends an added interest to aerial and aero
batic feats, he chose the evening perform
ance for his patronage. OF course there is
always wrestling crowd around the rear end
of the ticket wagons at circus, especially
in the evening" and there are always three or
four brawny bouncers standing around to
fire out of the crowd anybody who seems
disposed to create disturbance. Tom, with
his love for the fearless man, has dread OF
pickpockets, and when he expects to get
mixed up with ''the madding throng' he
always takes precautions for the protection
of his pocketbook, and this he did on the
night that he attended Barnurn's circus.

He wore a Prince Albert coat that buttoned
from his clavicle to his waist, and in pocket
on the inside of this he carried pocketbook
Before be reached the crowd around the
ticket wagon, in the dark he took out his
IL
fell on So bill. Keeping this out he re-
turned the book to the inside pocket, and
bnttoning his coat tightly around him, he
made his way into the crowd, and keeping
one eye on the ticket seller he kept the other
on still hunt for any SHAY individual who
might want to get the combination of that
inside pocket. The night was warm and the
crowd hard one to get acquainted with, but
after running the risk of being pulverized,
Tom reached the ticket wagon, and slapping
the hand that held the S5 bill up in front of
the ticket seller, said: ''Give me one ticket!''
What er yer givin me?" replied the ticket
broker. "Der yer take me fur bale O. hay?
Screw out O. here
Tom had no time to talk back before he was
in the talons Of the bouncer, and he had
knocked a hole in the Gro wd and jumped
murrer. His first thought was of his s5 note,
and he found that it was still in his hand. but
as he looked down at it he noticed that it had
a peculiar appearance, and, getting under
gasoline lamp. he found that the S5 bill tha t
he had taken out of his pocketbook and
slapped down under the ticket-seller's nose,
was Minnesota boat club badge, that had
somehow got mixed up with the bills. By the
time he had secured his ticket and got into
the show the first part was over. The story
leaked out, and Tom good-naturedly says that
up to date that badge has cost him In the
neighborhood of S56.

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA FAIR.

On next Monday will begin at Rochester
the seventh annual fair OF Southern Mime
sofa. Without detracting from the merits
of the state fair recently held, it may be
said that the one to be held at Rochester
will be one of the most notable occasions OF
the kind in the history of the state. Mime
sofa is of such wide extent that it is difficult
to give a state fair as much of a representa-
tive character as in states of narrower
limits. For the same reason the fairs which
are more upon the sectional order. which
appeal to a constituency nearer at hand, are
apt to be more complete, even if they are
not on such an extensive scale. But South
ern Minnesota has within herself resources
sufficient to furnish forth an agricultural
exposition which would well maintain the
credit of the state, even if the regular state
fair and the smaller county fairs did not
enter into comparison with it. There is no
portion of this great state which is
better adapted to bringing near to perfec-
ton the pursuit of agriculture or which
contains more energetic and intelligent
body of farmers than Southern Minnesota,
and consequently fair which will bring
into prominence the products of that re-
gion must necessarily be a noteworthy
occurrence There will be an exhibition
of the fine cattle for which Minnesota is
becoming famous, and the dairy depart
ment will be model. In addition to the
more purely exhibitory features, the race
course will be crowded with noted horses
striving for portion of the very liberal
purses offered. for there is something like
ten thousand dollars in premiums and
purses. The hospltable people of Roches-
ter are preparing to receive the visitors of
fair week with the utmost cOrdiality, and
there is little likelihood of any one who
may within the next week find himself
within the limits of the thriving town re-
GREETING his visit in any particular.

NEW YORK. Sept 1o.-Old John Baird,
the Scotch elevated road engineer. APP
peared before a sheriff's jury and the
lunacy commissioners to-day in proceed
ings brought to establish the question of
his sanity. The suit was brought by his
children, because he left his wife. In his
testimony Mr.. Baird said he was born near
