The TREASURE TRovE AT STAFFoRD.-A dis
patch from Baltimore to the New York
Morning journal, last Saturday, revives the story
about the finding of buried treasure by Alex
ander Wilson, at the old Stump mansion at
Stafford. The writer says that Wilson actually
discovered about S75, 900 in gold coin in a box
in the garden attached to the old house. The
story, which is mostly o repetition of those pre-
viously published, is that when John Stump the
grandfather of Col Herman Stump, of Bel Air,
died in the early part of the present century, at
his home at Stafford, Hartford county, his heirs
were surprised that they did not find piles of
gli,tering gold stored away in the little iron
safe in which it was thought he stored his trea
sures. Instead, they found bundles of mort
cages deeds and other papers which conveyed
to them the good news that he had left fortune
of over 100000. They were content and paid
no further attention to the rumors of hidden
treasure.
The old homestead changed owners several
times and then passed into possession of Mrs.
Henry Smithson, granddaughter of John
Stump. She leased the farm to John Wilson, of
Cecil county. His brother, Alexander Wilson,
was frequent visitor to the old homestead and
became interested in the stories of the treasure
which it was believed John Stump had hidden.
Alexander Wilson, it is said, while looking
| through an old book he had found in the garnet,
came across slip of paper which indicated the
location of the hidden treasures. A few days
later big hole was seen by neighbor in the
garden of the old Stump farm. 1t contained, at
the bottom, the imprint of square box,
the place where the hinges rested being plainly
visible. Wilson told the neighbors that he had
intended to plant tree but changed his mind.
Alexander Wilson, the account says, myster-
iously disappeared and this excited more
talk. finally, few days ago Farmer Wilson's
wife gave the secret away to q confidential lady
friend. She told how Alexander had found the
slip of paper in an old history and following its
directions had found copper box full of gold.
Wilson kept The matter secret for fear the
heirs of John Stump would claim the money
The account adds that Mr.. Stump's surviving
heirs will make no contest to recover the gold
"fnd" of Alexander Wilson and he will remain
in secured possession of his easly-acquired
wealth. Wilson, it is said, has gone West.
Col Herman Stump, is the administrator de
bonis non of his grandfather's estate He at
taches very little Importance to the stories Of
the finding of vast amount of treasure, and
has made no efforts to verify them.

of tue Big Woods, beats the record in tall oats
Some specimen stalks from his farm, which
were left at The AgiS office, last Friday
measured feet ~ inches, after being cut off at
the first joint. Mr. Moores states that the seed
of these oats were first obtained from Col
John johnson, at Bush, 10 years ago, and they
have been grown uninterruptedly on his farm
ever since. The specimens have fine large heads,
and instead of deteriorating by successive plant
ing on the same farm they have improved The
specimen stalks were taken to Frederick county,

President Cleveland's warning to office
holders to attend to their business and let
politics alone is explicit enough to satisfy the
most ardent advocates of civil service re-
form. The President reminds office holders
that they are the agents of the people, not
their masters; that their time and labor is
due to the government, and they should scru-
pulously avoid in their political action as
well as in the discharge of their official
duties, offending by obtrusive partisanship
their neighbors who have relations with
them as public officials. The Presidents
warning is not to Democratic office holders
alone, but applies as well to the 10000 Re
publicans who still hold office under Dem
ocratic administration. The proclamation
is very likely to be damper upon some who
have been very officious in the past.

ming.

The late David NJ Osborne, the head of the
Osborne Reaper Manufacturing Company, who
died at Auburn, N. Y, on the 9Th instant, was
man of remarkable energy. At the death of his
father, in 1871, he was left with the care of his
mother and six brothers and sisters. He got a
situation as clerk in New York city and in 1913
became partner in the firm of Watrous s. Os-
borne, manufacturers of agricultural impe-
ments. He then became interested in the har-
vestng machines invented by VIM. Kirby, which
were made in Buffalo, N. Y. In 1859 the firm Of
and development of the business was almost phe-
nomenal. In the beginning the firm occupied
one building 6S by As feet in size. To-day the es-
tablishmenu comprises fourteen buildings, near
ly all four stories high, covering seven acres of
ground. In 1857 the entire product of the works
was 200 machines. The present capacity is 10000
machines per annum. In the works 1900 men
find employment, the payroll aggregating often
$65, 600 monthly.
Mr.. Osborne was a thoroughly religious man,
and while stern in the discharge of duty he is
said to have been considerable, generous and kind
in every relation of life.

burning the sulphur is to sprinkle some of it on

Judging from the favor which they have re-
ceiyed in the past, they feel well satisfied that
their former friends and patrons will welcome
the efforts that have been made for their enjoy
ment, entertainment and comfort on this occa-
sion, The round-trip from Havre de Grace to
Bay Ridge Beach will cost but one dollar, chill
dren fifty cents. They haze chartered the SPLEEN
did new three-deck steamer BAY RIDGE, whose
capacity is estimated at 1000 passengers.
They will leave the Furnace Wharf at $50 A..
NJ. and arrive ut the Beach about 1873 P. NJ spend
ing four or Ave hours on the beach, Returning
will leave Bay Ridge ats P. NJ, arriving at Havre
de Grace at p NJ.
The trip of $50 miles going and coming on the
beautiful Chesapeake is well worth the time and
expense. Bay Ridge Beach has been wonderful
ly improved in the last few years, and truthfully
deserves the name of 1.-The Coney Island of the
South" The daily attractions are unsurpassed
by any summer excursion resort south of New
York.
The Odd Fellows excursions are always first
class as the committee spare neither time nor
money to make each excel the other, if it were
possible, and taking everything into considera-
ton they believe this will be the most brilliant of
all their efforts.
No spirituous liquors will be allowed on the
boat or the grounds, and any one showing any
signs of intoxication will not be allowed to go
aboard the steamer. jy9-3t
