AYouNG TRAIN-WRECKER.
Charles Palmer Says He was Anxious "to

A Middletown N. " telegram says 1t
is only a few weeks ago that the HeTdd re-
corded the sentence to the ElmirA reforma-
tory of the sixteen year-old train-wrec ker
ira Case. of Sidney, who was convicted OF
having repeatedly put obstructlons on the
tracks Of the Delaware and Hudson rail-,
road near that town, with malicious and
criminal intent. Now, by a remarkable
coincidence, another siXteen-year-old boy
in the same neighb6rhood is held under
arrest for d series of sudacious attempts at
train-wrecking. which seem TO have been
patterned after the methods or the Case
boy.
The Ontario and Western railroad OH
cials for some time past have been annoy.
ed by finding distractions IN the form OF
piles of ties and rocks put 1pon their
tracks between New Berlin and sidney,

wrecking trains. As extraordinary good
luck would have it these impediments IN

walkers or trainmen in time 10 AVOID any

tectives at work on the case. and the re-
suit is the arrest of Charles Palmer, SIX,

SUNKEN TREASURE.
The DE Braak Cargo of Gold and Silver BE
Iieyed To BE Recovered.

Iewes telegram SAYS: The Merritt
Wrecking Company steamer TuckahOe, OF
New York, Captain Demorest, which has
been at work of the Delaware Breakwater
for the past seven or eight weeks searching
tor the trcasure-ship De Braak, which was
sunk in Delaware bay May %. 1898. has, It is
believed, made a very important discovery
during the last day or two.
The Merritt Wrecking Company's people
were sanguine OF success upon their arrival
here. and the exact location upon which
the steamer Is now at work IS believed TO
be the same as that upon which the British
frigates Assistance and Resolution We're
working over the year after the De Braak
went down.
The place IS about seven eighths of a
mile from Cape HenlOpen lighthouse
Bearings were taken at the time by pilots
residing in Lcwcs, some Of whom lett re-
cords which the Merritt Wreckng Com
pany became possessed Of, and, supplying
themselves with the most expert divers
that could be obtained and superior grap-
pling apparatus for penetrating IN the hull
Of the sunken vessel, they began opera
tions with determination and superior
facilities for success, which there IS rea-
son 10 believe they have met with.
The suppOsitiOn that the DE Braak, a
British slOOp-Of-war. went down with mil
lions in gold and silver has been verified
bv the records Of the British Admiralty.
The money and seventy tons Of copper
were the proceeds Of the capture OF two
Spanish treasure-ships bound from Central
America 10 Spain.
Observers Of the operations Of the Mer-
ritt wreckers have noticed large objects
hoisted aboard their vessel within the past
few DAYS. and there IS apparently great
excitement on board. The crew of the
Tuckahoe since Sunday has been working
in a singularly energetic and excited man
ner, impressing the observers with the be
lief that the treasure, or portion OF 1t at
least, has finally been found and brought
TO the surface.
The captain Of the Tuckahoe also main,
tains a curious desire To be undlsturbed
and has cut off all communication with the
shore. Moreover, no one is allowed 10
board the vessel. and those men who have
approached within hailing distance have
been peremptorily warned off.
All these unusual circumstances tend 10
establish the belief that at last, after near
" century, the lOng-sought-tor DE
Braak treasure has been found.
