PORTLAND, Me-, Jan. 25.-Three feet OF
ice covered the deck OF the schooner Eliza
U. Smith as she was towed into port this
afternoon. Every stick, every rope was
the core of an icicle, and the ship looked
like an iceberg. 1t seems that soon after
she started from the banks for home a
thick mist almost rain, set in. The
sea was very high, and the schooner
frequently shipped water, and every
moment added to the ice on every
part OF the craft. All attempts to
cut 1t away proved worse than use
less, for II tired out the men without doing
any real good The jib was carried away,
and then 1t was found to be almost out OF

FOUND A POT OF SILVER.
Gotta Narcisse the IIapplest Darby in Lou.
Islnna.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.-Considerable ex-
citement was created yesterday at Pass
Christian by the discovery OF pot OF bur-
led treasure. Gotta Narcisse, colored
man, was plowing in vacant lot owned
by Nicholas Buchert, when the plow struck
hidden object, breaking of the point.
On looking to see what he had struck he
found curiously shaped jar, such as are
still used in Mexico and South American
countries to hold water The jar was bro
ken and found to be nearly full of silver
coin. They examined and counted the coin
and found 30 silver half-dollars OF Amer
ican coinage and two quarter pieces, rang
ing in date from 1874 to 1928. The remain
ing contents consisted of Spanish and
Mexican piasters and smaller coins, the
dates from 172O to 1929 The value OF the
whole is estimated at 1885. As to how II
got there the most plausible theory is that
il was buried by an old negro named
Charlo, who was a slave of Nine. Azmar,
one of the first settlers Of the Pass. His
cabin stood near the spot, and being a
miscr it is naturally supposed he hid his
hoard in the ground about the year 1850.

baby was gone. A search discovered it,
dead, in a cistern. No servants were en-

terrible act carried the child through the
house, opened and closed two doors, and
after putting it into the cistern replaced
the cistern cover and set the water bucket
on top of it. The parents are frantic.
