Found $4,000 in the WOoSs.

Last week Ira Wade, Charles Ward
and Joe Tyra were working i'll the
woods near Beattyville, where they
were cutting props for miners, and
they found a half a pair of saddle
pockets. In the side was found roll
or bundle of paper. Upon investiga-
ton they found it to be roll or pack
age of greenbacks. The money was
entirely rotten, and it crumbled to
dust when they tried to separate the
sheets. One of the theories to account
for the find is this: 1t will be remem-
bered that some fifteen years ago }. L.
Smallwood, Ibzan Mcclure, Hiram
Patrick, J. G. Lovelace, Steve Jones
and others captured a young man,
who turned out to be on express agent
who had fed from Cincinnati with
some S21 900 of the express cOmpany's
money. Smallwood arrested him in
Che court house during the Democratic
Convention that instructed for Thomas
Turner. The agent said he had used
$3.50, and $3.50 was found on him. 1t
is a probability that the bundle Wade
tore up with a stick was worth nearly
$4,000. This, of course, is on the
theory that Gilmore hid the money in
this section. Tradition says he did.
1t has always been understood that he
hid his money somewhere on the
Upper Creek or toward Fox Shoal.-

Transit OF MERCURY.
Observations of 1t Made at the Navu
Observatory.

The transit of Mercury, as witnessed at the
United States Naval Observatory, Washing
ton, was made an occasion of some inter.
est through the presence of a number odds.
tinguished persons. Invitations were sent by
Secretary Herbert to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland, the members of the Cabinet, and
the ladies of their households. Several Cab
met officers drove out to the observatory in
the afternoon, but the President AMI Mrs.
Cleveland did not attend.
To other than scientific people there was
nothing particularly interesting In the event
Photographs of the sun were taken contin-
uously from the time of its first contact
with the planet until the latter had disap-
peared from the suns surface. But
however little interest tho transit
had from popular and unscientific stand
point, it was OF the greatest importance to
astronomical science. Astronomers have
known for a long time that the daily run
ming of the earth was somewhat uncertain
that is, the earth and the moon do
not keep time together. The mo-
ton of Mercury, however, as
observed in its transit, can be utilized in
showing whether it is the earth or the moon
which is not exact in its movements. Pro
servatiOns, said that it may be six months
before all the data necessary to make the de-
termination are worked up.
The beginning of the transit was ohsc we'd
al 10. 81 a. m, about two minutes later than
expected. The last observation was made at
4.12 p. NJ. when Mercury disappeared from
the surface of the sun. No more transits OF
Mercury will take place during the present
century. Recent transits have taken place
on November II. 1861; November 5, 1868
May g. 1873 November 7, 1881, and May
1891.

Valuable Substitute for Cline.

Cellulose has just been obtained by
some London chemists in a dense
form, having the appearance of ebo-
mite, and capable of taking a high
polish. The material contains carbon
bisulfd and sodic hydrate, which are
gradually given mp when it is dis
solved in water, cellulose being pre-
cipitated. If some of the solution is
spread on glass, transparent film of
cellulose can be obtained. CellulOse
can also be deposited from the same
solution on woven materials or paper,
producing a permanent stiffening or
sizing. The solution forms a substi-
tute for glue, of great strength, and
insoluble in water when set. The ma
terial can also be obtained in contin-
uous sheets or films. -Literary Digest.

Aluminium Woven With Silk.

A writer in London paper declares
it is not impossible that aluminium
may be applied to the making of drap-
cry goods, since it can be drawn into
wires finer than hair, and yet so fine
and supple that they can be woven
with silk. 1t is believed that there is
a wonderful future before aluminium,
owing to its remarkable lightness and
tencity. There are those who think
they see in this material solution of
the problem of flying machines, and
some of the prophets go SO far as to
predict an age of aluminium, not very
far ahead of the present time. Wash

KENTUCKY RACE WAR.
Celebrating the Republican Victory

The colored men of Elizabethtown gave
monster parade in celebration of Republi-
can victory in the Congressional district and
elsewhere. Bad feeling was created at
first when the colored men insisted on
leading the parade, only one white
man falling into line behind
colored band. The colored men were all
armed, having been granted permission to
shoot blank cartridges. As the parade pro-
crossed it was seen that bullets and shot
were contained in the charges fired bythem.

Marshal's overcost and entered the body of

fired his pistol at Wilson, wounding him in

The irlpudent Weasel.

Impudence seems to be the leading
characteristic with the weasel in his re-
lations with man. Perhaps the creature
has confidence chat his long, slender
body can always be snatched away into
safety before the ordinary human be-
ing can do him harm. At any rate,
the weasel will coolly sit in the chlnk
of stone wall and watch the doings
of men within a stones throw of his
asylum, and after nightfai. the beast
will crawl about fearlessly within a
yard or two of any human being that
may approach its haunts. Chicago

Boston, Sept. 1.-The steamer Indian
apolis, Captain Lamont, right from the
battlefelds of Bluedelds, entered port
yesterday afternoon. Besides bringing 3
big consignment Of mahogany timbers, q
few passengers were slowed away in the

this lumber steamer in order TO escape the
serious war situation In Nicaragua. OF
the six passengers five were Americans;
two were ladies-Mrs NJ. Il. Spellman Of
Indianapolis and Mrs. Jane Newman Of
Bluenelds.
Captain Lamont reports that the Ameri-
can interests at Bluefelds have been
poorly protected, and that United States
capitalists will lose several millions of
dollars as a result. American citizens arc
leaving the port of Blueflelds as fast as
they can secure passage on steamers,
which is n difficult matter at present
Property Is being abandoned and sold for

The captain OF the indianapolis reports
everything quiet at Bluefelds on Sept. z,
when he sailed, but that the situation
there Is still very precarious. He says
that the United States cruisers Columbia
and Marblehead, stationed on the Nicara-
guam coast have been of very little service
in protecting American interests, and that
even the British cruiser Mohawk has been
more serviceable TO both American and
British subjects.
