TEXAS TREASURE SEEKERS.
They Fail to Find Valuab bios, but Un-
earth Number of Skeletons.
From the New York Times.


From the New York Times.
Galveston, Texas, Aug 2.-For many
years there have been traditions that
Lafitte, the buccaneer, had left vast sums
of gold coin and silver bars buried about
Galveston Island previously to his having
been ordered away by the United States
government. From time to time persons
having dug on the island and mainland in
search of this treasure, and their utter
failure appears to have in no way pre-
vented others from making the attempt.
Twenty miles ''down the island" TO the
west Of the city is a small clump of live
oak trees, situated on the line of the Gal
weston and Western railroad which is
commonly called Laftte's grove. His
tory has handed down the fact that these,
trees were the favorite camping ground
of the Caranchua savage tIibe-said to
be cannibas-of magniicently-prO
toned warriors once roaming over the
maitland and crossing to Galveston Is
land across the shadows still bearing the
name of Caranchua Reefs. There they
would have great oyster roasts. pro-
curing the succulent brivalve from the
natural reefs along the shore of the bay;
and the huge piles of shell still remaining
attest the fact that their appetites were
good.
Here tradition has it that Lafitte at
tackled these savages for the murder Of
one of his men, and after a severe conflict
defeated them with heavy loss, num-
Der of his own men being slain in the bat
tie.
Having consulted an old man with a
divining rod, who made an examination
of the land near Lafitte's Grove, and who
positively asserted that there was buried
treasure in the neighborhood. Frank
Corbin, John Green and William Irvine,of
this placed, concluded that the spot
where LATTE had ''planted" his loot had
been located at last, and secured per-
mission from Capt M. A. Baro, the owner
of the land, to dig there, it being stipula-
ted that he was to receive 25 per cent. of
the value of the find.
The prospectors began operations about
week ago, and prosecuted FORK V gor.
ously until to-day, excavating about
twenty large holes in different spots in
the vicinity of the trees, but they failed
TO discover anything of value. They,
however. unearthed the skulls and bones
of a number of large men, supposed to be
the remains of the Caranchua warriors
who persisted in the battle with Lafittes
men, as well as number of flint arrow
heads and tOmahawks.
The party is not at all discouraged, and
says that 1t will shortly resume opera
tions at another point.

The state school Money,

When the State Beard Of Education
came together at Trenton recently, to
apportion the school money to the twenty.
one counties In New Jersey, peculiar
state Of affairs was found to exist. 1t was
the first appertionment made under the
new school census taken last year. This
census largely reduced the number Of
school children and greatly affected the
money raised for school purposes. In
Jersey City there were prior to this cen
sus 10, 900 fictitious names Of children on
the rolls and in Hoboken 5000. This
year the fictitious names are not upon the
rolls, and Hudson county will get $50, 1888
less OF school money than ii formerly re-
celyed. This will seriously affect the
county and compel II to raise more mon
ey by local school taxes or else shut up
the schools. Essex county will receive
81, 1850 less than formerly because of its
reduced school census. All the other
counties IN the State will suffer the same
way. The losses that will fall TO the
counties are as follows: Atlantic receives
$500 less than last year; Bergen, $4.9ls !;
Burlington, $S,s6S; Cape May, S20s;
Cumberland, $2,649; Essex, $22, 800;
Gloucester, $5,129; Hudson, $50, 1888;
Hunterdcn, 1860; Mercer, $1l, 049;
Middlesex, $6,s78; Monmouth, $l2,591;
Morris, $6,9l1; Ocean, 1887; Passaic, &c.
