Futures made a small advance early
in the day on better Liverpool report
and frost accounts from Texas, to-
together with heavy rains in the Atlantic
States. The advance demand was freely
met, but the close was steady. A killing
frost in some parts of Texas must do in

GOLD EXCITEMENT.

WOrk-The Richest Vet.
SALISBURY, n. C., November 12.-The
four experts who went from here last
week to see the Tebe Saunders rich gold
find in Montgomery county have re-
turned, and report that the first thought
or wild tales about the find is true. There
has not been fifty dollars worth OF work
done on the tiud, and from reasonable
calculation $3.50 900 worth of gold has
been taken out. The gold was first
found by a man who was turkey hunt
ing. II was told, and then hands hucked
there and went to work, paving five
eighths of the gold they found as a
royalty. One man was though to be
dishonest and did not pay all that was
due. He was stopped from working and
any more, as he had all he wanted. He
is known to have nine pounds Of gold
now. One man on last Saturday panncd
only twenty minutes and panned two
thousand penny weight OF gold. Two
men worked a day and a haltand cleaned
up ten and halt pounds Of gold. The
hnd is on high hill above branch.
The surface appears to he full Of fine gold
and runs into fine CLASSY quartz stringers
III depth, which form into pockets, some Of
which are two thirds Id. Where the
gold is found and has been worked does
not cover more than quarter OF an
acre, but ii appears to get richer in
deptI, and the gold can be secn sticking
in the quartz ringers from the top OF
the gopher holes. rhc land belongs to q
brother Of Tehc Saunders, who is III
Texas. Tebe has gone to buy it of him.
The owner has been informed, and is ex-
peCted here to look after his find. In the
mean time there are two factions who
want to work the property. The result
is that all work has stopped and the
factions are standing guard and will not
let any one strike a lick or wash pan
lul. The find is the richest ever known,
and is near the property Of several large
English companies, who have spent
large sums there. The gold is coarse,
and some nuggets weigh from one
hundred to five hundred pennyweight
while Others hold the quartz together so
that it can be bent and twisted. The
find is in an old pine field that was in
cultivation before the war, and is owned
i'll lee simple by Saunders, hence claims
cannot he laid of like in the West.

4 BOLD ROBBERY.
a4ube Burrows and His Gang the
Supposed Perpetrators.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, November 13.-A
special to the Age-Herald from SulliSent
the nearest telegraph office to Vernon,
the county seat of Lamar county, tells OF
bold robbery early last night. Two
heavily armed men rode up to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Summers, a merchant OF
Vernon, and asked him to go to his store
and let them have some burial material
for person who had just died out i'll the
country. Summers went and let them
into the store. He struck light and
turned to ask what particular articles
the men wished. He was surprised to
find himself looking down the barrel of a
big revolver. In obedience constructions
he opened his safe and gave the robbers
$+O0, all he had. They then bade him
good night and rode away. A party OF
citizens followed several miles in pursuit,
but lost the trail and turned back. The
robbers are supposed to be Rube Bur-
rows and his partner. Burrows home
is only seven miles from Vernon, and his
parents live there.

The day was taken up with the case OF

BY The way, Will kathbone was caught
by our city marshal. 1t was a cold, win

came upon them suddenly and got be-

deienceless, surrendered at once. Both OF
them were taken under guard to house

Here, it being dark by this time, it was
decided to remain over night and then
proceed with the prisoners i'll the morn

his coat and shoes and stockings, and
then walked toward the door. The Col

But Rathhone, quick as flash, sprang
through the door and made a dash for
liberty. BareIUoted and without coat
he ran like deer over the frozen ground

Robinson, started i'll pursuit, but the
night was pitch dark and Rathbonc was
soon lost to sight. Being baretootcd his

officer thought he would beat him to his
house When he got there he found that

houses and demanded his prisoner, but he
could not be found. 1t was afterwards
learned that he had gone to his father-in-
laws, and, having barricaded the door,
had kept watch all night with his rifle in
his hand. He was afterwards arrested
by Robinson. and it was at this time
that his brothers resisted the arrest for

Death of MIR. Anthony Robinson.

There was something peculiarly sad i'll
the death of this young man, He has
lived in Ashevile for nearly two years,
having come from his home in Richmond
in the hope of restoring his health, and,
until three or four months ago, there was
every prospect of at least several years
of life. But oflate his decline has been
marked and has baffled the best medical
skill and the most assiduous care. He
expired yesterday afternoon in conse-
quence of a hemorrhage and after the
funeral services to-day his remains will
be taken to Richmond for interment.
Mr.. Robinson was the last fhiS family,
all ofwhom have died from consumption.
He was of a bright, cheerful disposition,
popular among the young men; a mem-
ber of the Carolina Athletic Club of this
city, and withal of an earnest Christian
pietv. He died in the full hope OF a
blessed resurrection.

from some vessel from which a person of low
caste had quenched his thirst. AS the wells
have no facilities for drawing water the Hindu
carries a cord with him, with which he lets
his lota down into the well and draws up the
water.
Among the vessels in the museum is what is
known as a Scotch horn. .It is a fiat cup,
fashioned by the Scotch from horn, and in
which, in some parts of Scotland, spirituous
liquors are served. From this use it is sup
posed the expression of taking horn was
derived. Horns have been used drinking
vessels in many parts of the world. Among
the Germans now horns, often beautifully
carved and mounted with silver, are used on
festive occasions. An African drinking vessel
in the museum is made from the horn of an
antelope. Some of these horn vessels made by
Africans are exquisitely carved. They make

is curious method of storing water for use.
They fill ostrich eggs with water and bury
them in waterless places. There are no signs
by which anyone not a bushman could ever de-

buried. but bushman on his travels, when he
is athirst, looks about him and soon finds spot
from which he unearths treasured eggful of
water.
