Buried Treasure Unearthed.

Columbus, S. c., June 1O.-Great ex-
element prevails among the people of
Kershaw over the finding of Sl63, 900 in
gold and other valuable treasure which
were buried in the neighborhood
twenty-four years ago when Sherman's
army was passing through South Caro-
lima. The officers of the Camden bank
collected the money and jewelry to
bury it. They were captured by Shor-
mans men. The soldiers in turn APP
pointed one of their own number,
named Rhodes, to bury it. On his
death bed few days afterward Rhodes
said he had buried the money near an
old mill. For the past twenty years
various parties have been digging for
the buried treasure, but without sue
cess Last Friday night, however. it
was secured by IA Mr.. Rhodes, brother
of the man who buried it, and Mr..
Swaggart, both northern men. They

Mollinger. the famous faith cure priest
of Allegheny City, will leave for Eu-

deny the story, but said he had an inn
portant mission in Europe, and that in
all probability he would leave on Mon
day. The name of the curative powers

this city fully $500 people from all
parts of the country for treatment.

Some Very Onenr pnlitics.

YANKToN, 5. d., June 13.-- Recent
developments indicate that the Farm
ers' alliance of South Dakota will beat
the extra session scheme to raise
money for the worlds fair exhibit of
the state. For some mysterious reason
the leaders of the farmers party are
opposed TO the extra session of the
legislature, and have quietly instruct
ed the various lodges to meet and pro-
test against it, 1t is thought the lead
ers have a double purpose in this. BY
opposing a state appropriation they
think they will be able To build
reputation for economy that
may he valuable in the future
campaigns. Their other scheme
seems TO be that as the
cnterprising men of the state will not
see it fail of representation the farm
ers will thus get all the benefits with
out paying dollar in taxes for the
same.
The outlook for an appropriation is
far from encouraging, and if South
Dakota has an exhibit it will have to
come through private subscription, and
as such will be Independent of polit-
ical element which seems willing to
ride into power at the expense of pub
lie enterprise.

The INSANE IN A PURGATORY
Revolving Cruelty Practiced in an
illinois Insane Asylum.
The Poor UDfortunates Are Kicked, Beaten
and Starved. The Pope Sends for Amer
ica's Famous Faith Cure Priest
Other Late News.

SPRINGFIELD, III, June l3.-The re-
port of the special committee appointed
to investigate the charges of misman-
agement and brutality against the of
ficials of the insane hospital at Anna,
H., has just been made public in de-
tail, which shows most deplorable
state of affairs.
Many inmates have been beaten,
kicked and otherwise fearfully NAL
treated. Patients were forced to
work out in winter, SO scantily
clothed that their persons are in
deccntly exposed and their feet soaked
with water. while. in another ease, IA
patient was thrown on "a heater and
held there until badly burned. An
other, i'll with fever. was taken from
his room and beaten for asking for
water. The vilest epithets were used
To inmates. and their beds were, in
some instances. in very filthy condi-
ton. Although 100 gallons of milk
goes each day into the kitchen, none
of it gets into the wards. 1t is drank
up or stolen by the attendants
The committee believes the inmates
are deprived of the early vegetables
grown on the premises, and that they
are sold The evidence clearly shows,
it is stated. that the superintendent,
physicians, supervisors and trustees
have been informed of these things
The committee believes the treasurer
of the hospital deposits the funds in a
bank and converts the interest to his
own private use: also that he has pur-
chased Mexican dollars at discount of
- per cent. and paid them at par. The
committee recommends the immediate
dismissal of attendants Paul HALEY,
Aug. Brook, Leidecll Neishmeier, Lu-
cretia Robinson. HALEY Robinson and
Dick Stack. as being not only brutal,
but wholly untitled for the positions
they occupy.

New York, June 1o.--Since the new
warden of Sing Sing penitentiary, Ma
jor w. X. Brown, assumed charge OF
that institution all of the pets and

get up when he chose, retire when he
was ready, while he had the general
run of the prison, enjoyed better
meals than the other prisoners,
and read what literature he had
a mind to. Now he has taken
his place in the chain gang, and is
treated in every respect the same as
the murderers who are in for life. The

tachcd to the hospital department on
the ground that his health was failing
but after rigorous examination the
prison doctors unanimously decided
that he was in magnificent condition
without trace of disease, organic or
otherwise He has charge of the
printing bureau, gcts up copy and OPP
crates the hand press. II he continues
to behave himself his term expires
next April, but has not yet made up
his mind whether or not he will return
to Wall street At the same time he
manifests great interest in the move
ments of the financial and stock specu-

current literature bearing upon the
different phases of the market and the
daily doings of the stock exchange.
He will have good sized fortune To
live upon when he again mingles with

ants in singular suit. Miles charges

by fraud; that Bailey and Wallace
were To make the fraudulent deals, and
that Schofeld was TO take the property
off their hands aS soon as purchased in
order that it might thus be in the
hands of a third party when the cheat
was discovered. Miles claims that in
accordance with this corrupt agree
ment Wallace drew up number of fic-
titious abstracts of property situated
in different parts of the state, and
forged atfidavits in support of the same.
Miles traded some land to the gang and
found that the abstract and all the
papers which he received were forged.
