Puts Him to Flight.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. ia burglar Great
ed a panic in the Capital Female college
on Houston street this morning between
] and O'Clock. For a few minutes fifty
frightened school girls. all clad in their
white gowns shivered with the cold as
they rushed about through the corridors,
screaming for the teachers, and the DO
lice. By the time Mrs. Stone, the prmci-
pal, appeared upon the scene the burglar,
who was negro, bursted the door of the
rooms open and rushed past the Mortified
crowd of girls and escaped through a low
er floor window he had prised open when
he came in.
1t appears from the accounts given by
the frightened girls, that they have been
hearing strange noises in the house for
being attributed to rats. The burglar had
been prowling about the school for some
time trying to affect an entrance, and
last night succeeded in getting one of
the basement shutters open.
The alarm was first given by one of
the young ladies', who was awakened by
the appearance of the negro in her
room. She was terribly frightened, but
jumped up and ran out of the room scream
ing, and finally fainting in the arms of one
of her school mates. The negro remained
on the inside just long enough TO have
the whole school aroused and the girls
the only way out was to go the way he had
come he dashed past them towards the
basement stairs. The police were sent
for and made a thorough search of the
premises before the frightened girls would
go back to their rooms again.

A POT OF GOLD.
1t is Said to Be Buried in the County
of Laurens.

Tweed, Ca, Dec. 13.-Considerable sur
prise was manifested to-day by the peo-
pie in this vicinity when it was learned
that the alleged location of a large sum
of buried money had been discovered. For
a number of years it has been reported
that a quantity of gold was deposited in
the ground, in what is termed the Gainiss
branch, near an old field. Many years
ago an old woman, residing near the spot
said there was money somewhere on the
line between the ford of MERGERS creek
and the worn out field. This led a Meth
odist preacher named Budd to 90 pros
pecting. He worked assiduously, day af-
ter day, until he was finally successful
in locating the exact spot. The treasure
IS claimed to be on the land of Charley
Wilkes, but it is not known whether he
will grant the successful prospector the
