A PIRATES PLUMBER.
Georgia Negroes Still Searching the
Southern SwampS.


There is a sensation among some of the
negroes of Waycross. Ga. It has developed
into an interesting story. A News cor
respondent questioned number of them.
and this is the story they tell: Some forty
years ago vessels sailing near the coast OF
Georgia we're frequently seized by notori-
Gus pirate named Blackboard. He bt came
the terror not only of the seamen. but of
the people living near the Alabama River
swamp. 1t was known to many of the
settlers that Black beard accumulated vast
fortune On his last piratical raid he made
"a haul" and HE crew accompanied him to
a spot in the Alabama River swamp and
in an old cave they buried the gold. Then
Black beard 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, when he MORALLY wounded.
The dying man raised his gun and
fired, killing Black beard instantly. A few
hours afterward an old negro came along,
and, hearing groans in the cave, peeped
down and to his horror saw the dead bodies
OF six men and the dying form of the
seventh, Blackboard having fallen into the
cave. The dying pirate pointed to chain
and told the old negro that at the end of the
chain was chest flied with gold deep in
the cave. Then the pirate breathed a curse
on tie gold ard 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 upon his mind. To give any
one Information about his horrible secret.
he argued. would be TO give himse to die
on the galows as the murderer OF the
seven men. For years he kept his dreaded
secret. just before he died The old man
call-d his children to him and told them
about Blackboard AID the gold. Four
weeks ago eleven young negro men. upon
hearing the above story from the negroes,
set ont to explore this wonderful cave and
secure this hidden treasure. Aiming them
selves, with picks, shovels and AXIS. they
iourneyed 20 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, shoyels,
guns and axes which lad been thrown down
through fright. They attempted to dig in
the cave, but the air became thick and they
could hardly breathe. he rocks overhang-
ing the cave would crate on each other and
the air suddenly became filed with groaps
and curses OF dying sailors. Dropping their
tools and hats they left in great fright A
second party OF negroes left Waycross
week ago and returned to-day. They say
Tiny found everything as the first party
claimed, hut developed no further discove-
s'"e added few more hats, picks, SHOW
els and aAs to the famous caves museum.

MUCHLY MARRIED.
A Dead Soldiers Three
Widows.
The Bigamous Sergeant of an Ohio
Regiment Founded Many
Homes.

Sergeant John A. Lang of an Ohio regi-
ment fought and bed for his country during
the late rebellion.
About eight years ago he died from the
injuries he had contracted while in tie army.
In the due course of time application was
made to the United States Pension Office for
a pension by the widow of the late sergeant
The application was regular in form ard
was accompanied by unnecessary evidence
regarding the marriage, etc.
But while the pension officers were duly
considering he matter they were treated to
genuine surprise.
Another widow of the late Sergeant Lang
appeared and presented her claim to the
pension.
She adduced testimony showing that
Lang and herself had been duly married.
Their relations had only been severed by
the call of duty which had caused her
patriotic husband TO rush to his couutry's
defense in its hour of great peril.
This second application put new phase
on the affair and considerably complicated
matters for the Pension Office.
After considerable evidence had been pre-
scented by both widows the first applicant
was declared to be out of the race, as the
second widow showed that her marriage to
Lang had taken place first, consequently
the second one was null and void.
1t was a good thing that there was a long
delay in deciding the matter, for after the
case had been duly submitted another sur
prise was in store for the sedate pension
officials.
1t was a third widow, who claimed the
muchly lamented John A. Lang as her
spouse This third widow lives in Sonoma
County, where she has again married. She
has one child by the late John a. Lang, and
on that ground demands pension.
She made application through the pension
agency of Shepherd Il Orion.
The further mystery which surrounds
Lang's marital relations is that the third
applicant has proofs of her marriage to the
defunct soldier which took place several
years prior to those contracted by the
other two widows. The offspring of this
marriage is now grown almost to woman
hood.
II is probable that the prior rights of the
California widow Will be recognized and
she will carry off the pension prizp In
speaking about the matter Yesterday,
Colonel Shepherd said it was not au unusual
occurrence for three or four women TO claim
the same individual as their husband.
This is rendered very curious" ne said,
from the fact that all three claimants have
presented the evidence of marriage. 1t
occasionally happens that some first make
a shadowy claim. But in this case il is
evident that the three claimants were uE-
doubtedly married to the bigamOus Lang"
The strangest part of the affair is that two
of the widows Claiming Lang as their hus-
bands both live in the vicinity of Columbus,
Ohio.
How Lang managed to successfully elude
detection in his varied establishments is
something that will surprise most men.
