TO SEEK BURIED TREASURE.
A Vision of S5,ooo,ooo Left by
Pirates OF the Spanish Main.
From the New York Tribune.


ST. Paul, March ia curious story of
buried treasure in the West Indies came
out in Minneapolis to-day. Miss Mcleod,
the sister of Capt. Mcleod, who knows
exactly where the treasure is located,
tells the story Of the discovery of the
treasure as follows: ''The treasure was
originally buried in an iron box on one Of
the West India Islands, twenty-five feet
below the surface Of the earth 1t was
placed there by six pirates One of these
murdered the other five one night in or
der to get sole possession of the 5000 900
treasure himself. He buried the
five bodies beside the treasure box.
but was discovered alone on the
island before he had completed his plans
OF fight. Questions We're asked as TO
how he came TO be in charge OF the ship
alone He could nos answer them salts
faclorily, and was tried and sentenced 10
be hanged for the murder Ofhis comrades
The night before he was executed he con
fessed his crime TO a Presbyterian minis
ter who was sitting up with him, and
gave to the clergyman q chart locating
the treasure, The old clergyman, whose
name Capt. Mcleod knows, considered
that it would be sin to attempt TO get
the treasure himself, for he characterized
it as blood money He gave the papers
to his son, who also kept the secret, and
in turn left them TO his daughter when no
died.
This daughter is now a poor old
woman, and until recently lived at Old
Point Comfort Va. in some way she be-
came an object OF the charity of one Capt.
Buchanan, of the McDOugal whale-back
system in Boston Out of gratitude for
services rendered, she gave Buchanan the
chart and papers. tie first thought there
was nothing in it, but on investigation he
found the history, which | have already
given, to be correct. lie knew little of
the geography of the island, however,
and being close friend OF my brothers.,
conhded the secret to him. These TWO
men and myself are the only living souls
who know exactly where the treasure is,
and we propose to get it. Ny brother is
now captain Of the steamer Colby. of the
McDougall line, plying between Boston
and the West Indies. She will soon sail
from Cuba, SO as TO meet Capt. Buchanan

GRAFTON TIRED OF LIFE.
Deserted By His Wife For the Second
Time He Attempts Suicide.

Atlanta Ga, Mnrch 13.-Dr F. T.
Grafton added another chapter tonight
TO the sensation in which he and his wife
and w M Hammond figured on Sunday,
when Hammond and Mrs Grafton eloped
together under the very eyes of the hus-
band After the arrest of the erring
wife and her lover at Bolton yester-
day a partial reconciliation was eff
fectcd between her and her husband 1t
appears that this reconciliation was only
a ruse on the part of the wife to secure
the dismissal Of the proceedings against
her in court and the liberty of Hammond,
her lover, who is still behind the bars
So far as she was concerned the ruse sue
ceeded. for her husband had the proceed
ings dismissed against her but ne still
vowed vengeance against Hammond, the
seductive musician. Seeing that her eff
forts to secure her lover IS release were I'M

STRIKERS ON THE wARPArH.
Ribbon Weavers and Silk Dyers Drive
Men From Work,

Paterson, n. j., March 13.-Over 1000
striking ribbon weayers and silk dyers
climbed the hill to the Valley of the
Rocks at noon to-day and drove out the
dyers in Charles Vermorel's works, using
the heavy dye sticks on the heads Of the
workmen. The procession then went to
the See and Shehan dye shops on
Patterson street and forced the men from
the tubs, not even allowing them to Ia Ike
of their wooden shoes The strikers
next visited the mill of Lambert Il Co,
and acted in a similar manner. One of
the strikers told Mayor Braun to-day
that if the employers did not come to
terms in a few days they would introduce
dynamite into the struggle.

MUST FIGHT IT OUT.
The State School Commissioner Re-
fuses to Decide q Tie.

Atlanta, Ga, March Estate School
Commissioner Bradwell passed on a pc
culiar case from Baker county today.
Recently an election for county school
commissioner to succeed the late Senator
Fleming was ordered in that county.
Two candidates were in the race, A. +.
johnson and j. j. Grant. One of the five
members of the board had pledged his
vote to both candidates, and To avoid
trouble staid away from the meeting to
elect. The other four were equally di-
vided ami after lis ballots decided that
they could never agree on man.
The case was sent to the
state commissioner with the
request that he appoint county commits
siOner. The commissioner could not do
this, and has referred the contest back to
the county board to fight 1t out. A COM
missioner must be elected by April 1, and
the situation is highly interesting, as the
legality of some members of the board is
now also called into question.

DISCOVERED IN TIME.
A Small Fire in Mcmillan Bros.
Workshop at Midnight.

The fire department was called out
last night at u Is o'clock to a fire in Nc
Mi.len Bros workshop at Liberty and
Price streets. a mounted policeman saw
the blaze while on his rounds, and turned
in an alarm from box 81. The fire had
made but little Roadway and was extin-
guished by the chemical engine. The fire
originated by beam near the
furnace catching fire from sparks The
beam burned in two and fell upon the
floor and the blaze then burned through
the floor. 1t was just at this moment,
fortunately, that the fire was discovered.
Owing to 4 serious case of illness near
the fire headquarters. the alarm has been
temporarily disconne ted from the big
Duke and only sounds upon the smaller
alarm clocks in the engine houses. This
is the reason why the alarm was not an
nounced in the usual manner.

Cigar Manufacturers Protest Against
the Increase.

O1BdT Neutrality-suspicious. 6TOCeSJ Against
the Increase.
Washington, March Representa-
tives of about three-fourths of the cigar
manufacturers of this country met at the
Shoreham to-day, to frame a protest
against the proposed increase Of the in
ternal revenue tax from 50 to S. per
thousand on cigars. These delegates rep
resent about 500 900 working people, who
they claim, will suffer greatly, together
with the consumers and themselves, if
this disproportionate increase of Co.'S per
cent. is levied.
The cigar industry suffered an enor-
nous decrease last year, which the max
ers attribute partly to excessive taxation
A committee of these delezates will wait
on the Senate committee TO protest
against this measure, which they claim
will increase the product of a cheaper
grade of cigars about 80 per cent. and at
feet the higher grades very little.

STOLE FROM a DYING BABE.
The Brutal Father Was Ducked and
Nearly Played Alive.

From the Philadelphia Record
Cherry Greek, Pa, March. TO- The
wife of John Brayton, an able bodied bat
shiftless, drunken fellow of Kingna,
having been neglected so long by her hus-
band that she and her baby were nearly
starved, begged some milk of a neighbor
for the child. When she went home
with it her husband was there He took
the milk from her and drank it himself
The baby died from starvation soon
afterward.
The neighbors hearing of his inhuman
conduct, took Braytou and stripped him
and dUcked him in an icy mill pond until
he was nearly dead. Then they rubbed. him
with stiff lye brushed for several minutes
and logged him with hickory gads until
the toggers were tired out.
They then drove him out OF the place.
and assured him that ii he ever came
back again they would hang him. After
thus disposing of the father, the neigh
bors buried the child he had starved and
cared for the almost famished wife.

defects or the driveway were proved Ia court.
but 1t was also proved that at some previous
time Collins had broken his other thigh with
the result of shortening his leg and making
him walk one sided. The last accident had
equalized matters by shortening his other
leg, so that he could now walk better than he
could before. The surgeon testified that Col
lin injury was really a neueht and the Jury

FINANCIAL.
New York.

NEW YORK. July 80. - The week
opened on the stock exchange with an
unsettled tone to the speculation, which
quickly developed into weakness. Iu
the railway list, aud more particularly
in the grangers, was the depression
greatest. Advices from the corn belt
were very unfavorable, and reporting
severe injury to the crop by the pro-
tracted and excessively hot weather.
This naturally revived the reports
touching the next dividends, which
were more pronounced thaneyer against
the payments at the regular rates for
the current quarter. Bear figures were
given out to prove that the earnings
would not justify the declaration OF
dividends at the usual rates, and the
shares were hammered down in the
hope of bringing out long stock and
disclosing stop orders.
There were Western selling orders in
ST. Paul, Rock Island and Burlington 81
Quincy. The latter stock was also sold
by Boston, and London was a seller of
ST. Paul. This latter stock was well
held. and gave way only %, with final
recovery of "a. One reason for the COM
parative firmness of st. Paul is that the
short interest therein is still large. and
the traders are indispOsed to 60 short of
any very large amounts nf stock. Hence.
not a great deal OF short stock was sold
today. Burlington Il Quincy was u.ost
largely pressed for sale, and the rumor
mongers were most fertile as TO its un-
