hidden treasure is now going on. One of

is Charles ]. Clark, of this city. He
claims to be related to buccaneer, who,
with several others, hid 100000 Spanish
doubloons. He says his relative was a
buccaneer, and, during the war between
America and Mexico, he commanded a
pirate ship. He amassed large fortune,
which ne buried at the mouth of Guada-
loupe river, in Mexico. 1t was discov.
cred there and was quietly removed in a
vessel to Hoboken, where it was buried
midway between Castle point and Kings
bluff. Clark consults map while dig
ging, and on it shows Castle point as an
island. Clark works every day and ex-
poets some day to find the treasure. Four
other men are working short distance
from Clark. These men are also looking
for buried treasures. If they keep on
Elysian Fields will be dug up and the
ground sifted for gold.

marck, through the German minister at
the British court, for the return of papers
taken possession Of by Queen Victoria
while on a visit to the late Emperor

herself, and upon the advice Of Lord
Salisbury has consented to have the
papers returned to the German court
She has written letter of apology, it is
alleged, explaining the circumstances
under which she took charge of the
papers in question, some of which are
said to be Of testamentary character,
which for certain reasons 1t was thought
desirable to suppress.

wick Hosiery company is going to shut
its doors. This will throw 800 men and
women out Of employment. Notice has
been given to each employee that from
July 28th the mills will be closed for a
few weeks. The reason is the removal Of
the tariff on wool as proposed by the
Mills bill. John Carpentersaid they we're
obliged to shut down on account Of stag
nation in the wool trade caused by the un-
certainty produced by the tariff legisla-
ton and it would be simply suicidal for
them to manufacture goods which few
months hence they may be obliged to sell
from one-half to one-third their value.
1t is expected other mills will follow the
example.
