A BLACKBOARD STORY.
A Tale OF Horror From the Placid
Altamaha

/ AAbhLI7AtA
! WAYCRoss, GA, June 11.-There is a
sensation among some OF the negroes of this
city. 1t has developed into an interesting
story. A News correspondent questioned
q number Of them to-day. and this is the
story they tell: Some forty years ago YES
sells sailing near the coast of Georgia were
frequently seized by a notorious pirate
named Blackboard. He becams the terror
| not only of the seamen, but of the people
living near the Altamaha river swamp. It
was known 20 many of the settlers that
Blackboard accumulated a vast fortune.
| On his last piratical raid, he made "a
| haul, and his crew accompanied him TO a
| spot in the Altamaha river swamp, and In
an old cave they buried the gold. Then
Blackboard sent his men into the cave with
orders to guard the gold. But he did not
permit them TO execute his orders, but shot
and killed all Of them except one man,
whom he mortally wounded. The dying
mau raised his gun and fired, killing Black
beard instantly. A few hours afterward
an old negro man came along, and,
hearing groans in the cave, peeped down,
and to his horror, saw the dead
bodies Of six men, aud the dying form Of the
seventh, Blackboard having fallen in the
cave The dying pirate poin led to a chain,
and told the old negro that at the end Of the
chain was a chest filed with gold. deep in
the cave. Then the pirate breathed curse
on the gold and the cave, and calling upon
the demons of hell to haunt the spot, died.
The negro seemed to be pinned to the spot
by fright. As soon as he recovered from
the shock he had received he went home.
Arriving there the full horror Of his situa-
ton dawned on his mind. To give any one
information about his horrible secret, he
argued, would be to give himself up, to die
on the ghllows as the murderer Of the seven
men.
For years he kept his dreaded secret.
Just before he died the old man called his
children to him and told them about Black
beard and the gold. -Four weeks ago eleven
young negro men, upon hearing the above
story from the old negroes, set out to ex-
plore this wonderful cave and secure the
hidden treasure. Aiming themselves with
picks, shovels and axes they journeyed to
the Altamaha river swamp and found the
cave. The ground near the cave was all
turned up by other parties, who had been
there. They claim that they found the
chain and the skulls of several men. All
around the cave were picks, shovels, guns
and axes, which had been thrown down
through fright.
They attempted to dig in the cave,
but the air became thick, and they could
hardly breathe. The rocks overhanging
the cave would CRATE on each other, and
the air suddenly became filed with groans
and curses of dying sailors Dropping their
tools aud hats, they left in great fright.
A second party of negroes left here a
week ago and returned to-day. They say
they found everything as the first party
claimed, but developed no further dis
coveries; but added a few more hats picks,
shovels and axes to the famous caves
museum.

GAINESVILLE, June 10.-I see by the
MORNING NEWS Of last Wednesday that an
Atlanta man Tor his friends for HIM is
claiming the honor Of having fred the last
shot for the oonfederacy. He is nos entitled
to it; on the contrary, 1 am. Below is
copy of letter written by my dear friend
and comrade in arms, Capt. Lavoisier
LeGrand Lamar to the Southern Recorder
in the fall OF 1865. Lamar was son OF DR..
Lamar OF Macon, a cousin of L. .. c. and
a nephew OF Gen. NJ. B. Lamar. He was
the commissary OF my regiment and was on
the ground at the tims, as was David Rags
dale. Sergt. Carpenter and Others now living

LAST CHARGE FOR THE CoNFEDERAcY.
On April 1s, 1865. Gen. w. W. Allen OF Ala
bama commanding a division OF Wheelers
cavalry, being hard pressed by the enemy as he
was leaving Raleigh. n. O., ordered detach-
ment from the First Georgia cavalry to hold
them in checE for the division to form. Under
that order Mai John w. Tench at the head OF
four companies OF the First Georgia. made a
dash upon the rapidly Advancing column, throw
ing them into a confusion almost amounting to
a rOut, thereby gaining time for Gen. Allen to
dispose his troops so as to secure a safe retreat
Gen, Allen, no doubt, remembers and
will testify 70 the fact. L.
The old files of the Recorder contain the
letter. My copy credited to the Recorder
was taken from the Macon TELEGRAPH, un-
derneath which was the last order of Gen.
Wheeler to his troops, the heading to the
two being: "Romances Of che War" Now
in still further proof that we we're in the
field at that time and for nearly a week
after as an organized and regularly differed

Columbus Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
81 have the stone with which Daniel
killed the lion" says proposed exhibitor in
the historical department Of Ohio's display
at the worlds fair.
This wonderful declaration is made in a
letter received by Secretary A. A. Graham
of the Ohio Historical Society. The pecu-
liar eplstle came in this mornings mail and
awaited Secretary Graham, when he took
his seat in the musty old museum of history
and archaeology situated in one of the sky
parlors Of the state house. 1t is truly
a mysterious letter, as it bears
no Ineligible possmark and no
signature. The postmark was so
badly blotted and IL is impossible TO read 1t,
and the author OF the peculiar communica-
ton after requesting prompt answer for

to miraculous relics Of the glacial period and
the fossiliterous age, the gray hairs of Sec
tary Graham showed signs of elevation and
he came dangerously near dropping Off his
chair when he read the astonishing state
menc Of the long lost stone, so effectively
used by the immortal Daniel, had at last
turned up.
The writer Of the letter assures Mr.. Ora
ham that IL Is genuine stone, and then pro-
ceeds to relate its history from biblical times
down to the present day. While Secretary
Graham is not particularly anxious to Sc
cure the stone for the worlds fair, he would
be glad to exhibit the crank who owns iu as
the champion liar of the state.

MoRAN's SUDDEN FosrUNE.
Selling His Farm for Fortune to the
Coal syndhats.


From, the Nelc York Times.
At the Schuylkill county treasurerer's
sale OF lands ten years ago Hugh Moran
bought in 400-acre tract near Tuscarora,
four miles west OF Tamaqua, paying $42 for
the property. the amount Of the taxes. He
has just sold this apparently barren tract to
buying up coal territory in the valley be-
tween Tamaqua and Middlepurt, and the
sale nets him $500 600 at 81, 900 an acre.
Charles Moran, his SOD, a bright young
man. and Conley Moran, another son who
manages his fathers affairs, were in this
city Saturday and confirmed the fact that q
sale had taken place. This purchase of the
Moran farm is one of the startling events Of
the day In coal circles, and shows the inten-
ton Of the Pennsylvania officials to open
up new coal field in the Tamaqua and
Tuscarora end of Schuylkill county. The
Moran farm includes the old stone tavern,
the Judge LitzenberGer place, and is di-
rectly adjoining Tuscarora, town which
fifty years ago was one Of the original oen-
ters of coal mining.
The Little Schuylkil Valley railroad was
built from Port Clinton to Tamaqua in
1888, and the mining Of coal followed on an
extensive scale, gradually developing from
1916 to 1870 when 1t reached its hight on
surface or above water measure in Tama-
qua, Tuscarora, Buckvile and other towns.
The Mahanoy valley looming up in the
latter year, operations gradually fell away
until no shipments were made, and mining
stopped altogether about the year 1874
FORTUNES WERE CARVED.
Fortunes were carved out Of this original
field by men like Congressman Henry L..
Cake, George w. Cole, George F. Wiggan,
Thomas Carter, c. F. Shoener and others,
and the field was finally deserted, as deep or
shaft mining had TO be resorted to at heavy
expense.
Now comes the change, the town Of Tama-
qua-one of the most beautiful In the state
has been waiting for the past twenty years,
and the first to profit by the new order of
things is Farmer Hugh Moran, a sturdy,
aggressive specimen of the class of citizens
1amaqua is noted for. Following him is
Daniel Shebb, a miller and banker of Tama-
qua, who is reputed TO have extensive hold
ings at Buckville. Tie recent sale covers
about 2, 500 acres IN which the Franklin B
Gowen and P. W. Sheafer estates are In
terested, both having given options on the
land controlled by them.
Tamaqua is naturally and peculiarly we'll
situated as a coal center. IL is apparently
on the edge of the boom longed for ever
since the Greenwood breakers were de-
! stroYed By fire In 1874.

4 POOL KILLERS FOOLISHNESS

| In a recent interview the Hon. William C..
| Whitney Fool Killer to His Exccllency the
President elect is represented as being i'll some
thing like state of mind over what he calls
ian outrageous conspiracy on the part of the
Republicans to keep control of the Senate by
q" stealing the Legislatures Of one or two West
ern States. Mr.. Whitney has hitherto shown
level head Unless he has lost it entirely
he must know that simply as a matter of
party policy il will be greatly to the advantage
of the Republicans 10 have the Democrats in
| full control in both branches Of Congress so
that for the next two years they may have full
swing, with no divided responsibility, and no
excuse for delaying any of the great reforms
they have been promising so fluently. And W.
| knows too-what is perhaps more important
that his party could have no greater godSend
than a Republican Senate upon which to lay
the sins of its shortcomings; that the worst
thing that can possibly happen 10 the incon-
grucus elements and babbling incohercnces
heaped together under the name of Democracy
| is TO be pinned down TO a position where il
cannot escape responsibility where it must
build up instead of tearing down must show
its own capacity for constructive statesman
ship instead of everlastingly grumbling and
snarling at the work of other people
Nobody knows better than Mr.. Whitney that
while the Republicans have nothing to gain by
retaining control of the Senate, the greatest
danger that confrontS his own party lies in
the probability of a change which will remove
the last check upon its hcadstrong and rcck
less rroperstics. Unless he has become fuddlcd
with success be must know that the game Of
the Democratic managers in the matter Of
the outrageous conspiracy" to keep the Sen
ate Republican. is to promote rather than de-

JTERFTICS md UNBELTFTERS

In discussing tho divcrsitics of opinion now
so prevalent in the churches, the distinction
between hercsy and unbelicf is not always kept
clear People speak loosely of hcresy rs I'M
belief, and of heiciics as unbelcvcrs and hay
ing thus simplifed the issue, it is easy to as
sumo first, that men like Professors Briggs and
Henry Preserved Smith, are hcrctics and, there
fore. iniidels, and then to denounce them for
remaining in tho Christian Church, while de-
nying its doctrines.
But the distinction thus ignored, is most
vital TO an understanding of the points az
issue. 4 hereto is a man who holds opinions
contrary TO the authorized doctrnal standards
of the Church of which he is a member And
in considering his hercSy, the actual truth or
falschood Of the opinions involved, is not in
issue. The opinions themselves may he in no
sense fundamental, in which case the question
of their truth will be one of little intrinsic
importance. On the other hand the questions
involved may be fundamental But unfortu.
natAy trial of tho alleged hereto cannot
possibly decide which of the parties in the
issue is holding to the truth All that it can
is formally holding tho doctrines of the Church
10 winch Ut DtltllS>. nOSc uOtlTlItS Inlay DC
absolutely true, so far as human symbols can
express absolute truth, in which case the
Churchs condemnation o. the hereto will be
indorsed by the great court of human opinion,
without whose final approval the decision of
no earthly tribunal can stand. Or the opinions
of the hereto may be true, in which case his
condemnation by the Church will result simply
in putting him out of that particular Church.
But he will go out with truth on his side and
the ultimate result of his condemnation will
therefore be far more injurious to the Church
than to him. There is no doubt that the
Saviour held views which were in form con-
trary to the authorized teaching of the Jewish
Church of which He was n member. And had
the Church authorities tried him for hercSy
they could have used with effect some of the
arguments which have been used in so many
heresy trials since. But Christians to-day who
are most opposed to heresy, would of course
maintain that in opposing the dominant teach
ing of the Jewish Church, Christ and His
Apostles who were members of that Church.
were actually right though formally wrong.
All this emphasizes the distinction to which
We have referred: A hereto is not necessarily
