Capt. Gregory Barrett, lOSth infantry,

Secretary Of War to act 4 camp in

not yet donned his uniform the men
pass him by without noticing the close
scrutiny with which he regards them.
Lieut.. L. S. Avis, U. S. A., will be here

The men have not yet been brought

they will be subjected after tomorrow

and this camp OF instruction will be
productive Ofsplendid results.
The Commissary department, in

hands. The men were given well pre-.
pared supper, consisting Of steak, pota-

Tho publication few days ago, in
the INTELLraENcER, of the details Of the
Marion county scandal, involving the
official conduct of certain Democratic
county officers, created considerable Of
sensation in political and official cir
cles in that section OF the State, and, al
though the matter had been whispered
in private for some days previous, it be-
came the principal topic of conversation
with the public generally. There had
been efforts to suppress the story, and
the INrELLrGENcER's publication Of the
whole matter was like q bomb in the
camp of the Democratic politicians. No
denial of it has been offered, and, in
fact, none was expected, since its most
important features are not only capable
OF proof, but arc matters OF record.
The ISTELLIGESCERis is now in receipt oil
a statement from Mr.. ]. E. R. Sine, who,
it will be remembered, was the plaintiff
in the suit against Prosecuting Attorney
Haggerty, in the trial OF which the
developments which have since become
apublic scandal were first made. MIR.
Sfne's statements published below.
A RESUME.
Readers of the IETEhLfGENcER will
recall the story of the scandal as pub
lished August 22d. 1t was to the effect
that Prosecuting Attorney James A.
Haggerty approached Mr.. Sine, who is
u resident OF Fairview, informing him
that the county commissioners were
determined to grant liquor license to
some one in his place and said that the
license would be given to any ono who
would divide the profits OF the saloon.
Mr.. Sine declined to make so corrupt n
bargain. A license was issued atterward
to r. L. Morgan. ]. II. Burns raised q
row about one man having the monopo-
" ut Fairview, and Haggerty afterward
used his influence to procure him a
license, but in the meantime he had
made IN agreement with Mr.. Sine that
he would have tho Fairvfew license
assigned to him (Sine) in consideration
of $500 Sine was to pay him. He had
also agreed that he Prosecuting Attor-
ney Haggerty) would pigeon-hole all
indictments against Sine for violations
Of the law; that no one else in Fairview
should be granted license, and that q
well-known "speak-easy" should be
closed up.
A portion Of the money was paid to
Haggerty, and the whole matter came
out when Sine afterward brought suit
for the recovery of what he had paid,
alleging violation of contract. The 9TH
er county officials involyed-Thomas
and Springer, Democratic county COM
missioners, and County Clerk Manley-
became so by virtue Of the plea filed by
Prosecuting Attorney Haggerty, copy
of which the INTELLIGENCgR published.
This plea alleged that Manley, Thomas,
Springer and Morgan "were jointly and
equally interested" with him as defend
ants. Mr.. Sine, in his statement, exon
crates these gentlemen, but Prosecut-
ing Attorney Haggerty's plea is still in
existence. They will doubtless be able
to prove the falsity OF the allegation it
contains. Further interesting develop
ments are expected when the case comes
to trial on'appeal in the Circuit Court
in November.

MR.. sINE's sTATENENT.
ToMe Editor otth. In,eltigaer.

To the Editor ofts InteiigcneT.
SR: In view OF the fact that so much
has been said regarding a partnership
that has been alleged to exist between
]. A. Haggerty, r. f. Morgan, O. f.
Manley, G. r. Thomas, S. II. Springer,
and myself in saloon here, take the
liberty OF making few unvarnished
statements regarding the same. In the
first place absolutely deny that q part
nership ever really existed between us.
Although Marion county's learned
prosecutor" at one time wrote an elab-
orate partnership agreement and wanted
Morgan and myself to sign it, but we
refused to enter into such an unholy
alliance, and nothing more wss said
until he proposed to sell out "root and
branch" TO me about the first Of juno.
As he had no interest, l refused to
invest, but he insisted that he was q
partner all the while.
He then assured me that If l would
Ciye him $500 he would have the
license assigned to me, and that ]. II.
Burns or no other man at Fairview
should be granted license for q year,
he claiming that he was acting
as attorney for the commission
ers. He made other assurances
which we're printed in the IN
TELLtdESc.R, and which ! will not re-
neat, With great reluctance agreed to
do so. ]. II. Burns applied for a
license Mt the special session in July,
and Haggerty told Commissioners
Thomas and Springer that he had q lot
ter in his possession from me, in which
/ said that was willing for Burns to be
granted license, and Springer has tes-
titled land Thomas will alsol that it
was on that representation that the
Burns license was granted. @. E.,
Mnnley testified TO the same also. i
never wrote such q letter to Haggerty
and he knew 1t. After the license was
granted asked Haggerty 20 return my
money. He refused to return tor any
part OF it; then the ball opened.
The commissioners and Clerk Manley
never put q dollar in the business and
have not proiited financially or other
wise from the license, and am able to
saw so unreservedly. / respect these
gentlemen highly, (haying known
Thomas personally all my life,) and can
NOT think for a moment that they, as
trusted servants OF their constituents,
would be guilty OF such gross impro-
priety, and hope that all the charges
made against them in this matter will
now and hereafter be considered as Mt
terly unjust and groundless.

way that never asked for license, but

same was granted | received letter

TREASURES oF THE SEA.
Immense Sums of Money Lost in
Wrecks on the Ocean.
ToSseIT1s 1Fd1uzjYe

CdSselrs Magazine.
The close of the last season seems to have
been very prolific in wrecks. The British
frigate De Brook, lost in storm off Lewes,
in the United States, in 1898, is stated to
have had on board no less than $50, 900, 900
of specie and Jewels, taken from an inter-
cepted Spanish feet while on her voyage
to Halifax, and with it were also taken 200
prisoners. Tho latter were in irons on the
lower decks when the vessel foundered, and
all were lost.
Many years afterward lin 1881 search
was being actively prosecuted by diving
company for the purpose of recovering this
specie, the result of which has not yet been
chronicled. 1t would scarcely be believed
that valuables have been recovered nearly
$50 wears from the date of the wreck, but
nevertheless it is recorded that the good ship
HARLEM, which was driven ashore in
Table Bay in May, 1913, and became total
wreck, had on board many cases full of
curiositieS and antiquities for sale to Euro
pean museums. These contained idols, rare
china, glass, silver, etc.
AS lately as 1883 saving operations were
rewarded by the recovery of several Of
these articles. The china was not at all in
iured by having been 235 years under the
sea. but the silver articles had suffered con-
sderably. Another very notable case-not
only for the amount OF treasure on board,
but also for the big "windfalln for the
salyors-is that of the ThetiS, British
frirate. wrecked off the coast Of Brazil in
1880. with 9162, 900 In bullion on board.
The hull went TO pieces, leaving the treasure
at the bottom in five or six fathoms Of
water.
The admiral of the Brazil station and the
captains and crews OF four sloops of war
were engaged for eighteen months In re-
moving the treasure The service was at
tended with great skill, labor and danger,
and four lives were lost. A good deal of
LITIGATION was the result, as disputes arose
between the parties as to the amount Of re-
ward for the salvors. The court of admir-.
atty awarded $4,000; the privy council
Ell. 600, aud e25, SO for expenses.
In the reign Of James IL a very success
full salving expedition took plaza. A rich
SPANISH vessel, which had been lost on Rhe
coast of South America, rewarded her 8al-
yors with no less than $780, 900, stated. to
have been forty-four years at the bottom of
the sea. A medal was struck i'll hooor of
this event in 1857. One OF the most recent
cases of successful salving operations is that
of the Spanish mail steamer AlphoO,o XII.
bound from Cadiz to Havana, "a Febru-
nry 1885. and sunk off Point Gan so, Grand
Canary. in twenty-five fathoms of water.
She had on board treasure value d at $780,
600 The underwriters who haCa insured the
vessel organized a salving expo dition, which
was dispatched TO the scene of the wreck in
the following May. 1t is reported that q
few month later most Of the specie was re-
covered.
