PLUMBERS IN LUCK.
Two Laborers Find a Box of Gold
Coins in a Bitch at Camden.
SpecscI to the JerscU CITY Noes.

CAMDEN, Aug. 5, 1Ss5.-Two plumbers
laborers ran plump against a little for
tune in a ditch in Camden Saturday
morning. Gold coins popped out OF a
buried box in a merry jingle and the
astonished diggers soon had bulgiHg
pockets. AT No. 1926 Atlantic avenue
stands a two-story wooden house that
has for months been without a tenant.
It's gloomy exterior has frowned down
sphinx like upon passers by, and all the
neighborhood has locked upon it with
vague suspicious. Among the superstitious
the house has possessed a very active
ghost. fun descriptions of Which have
been peddled about till nan have grown
to believe in It's actual presence.
Plumber George Leathwhite got an
order to construct a new drain to the
sshaunted" house. and yesterday he sent
Deegan and Charles Mcdowell, laborers.
With picks and saovels. Deegan NC
DoweM soon had an opening IN the street
to tap the main sewer. Deegan. VINO Tor
merly kept a saloon at Seventh and Sy-
camore streets, was working nearest the
curb. His end of the ditch was probably
wooden obstruction. He pounded away
at it. thinking it was a buried plank. AS
ne brought off a piece of the board sey-
eral coins rolled out in the dirt. Deegans
eyes bu1ged. He picked away with fresh
vigor. More coins came. He a
box of buried treasure. There were pen.
MES and small silver pieces, some goad
a roll of United States paper money,
all of the treasure bearing dates before
1855.

come here, Mac!f !,
Mcdowell joined his fellow laborer and
lost his breath on the spot. When he re-
covered he joined Deegan in the pleas
ant task Of transferring the coin and
paper money to their pockets. They
yearned for more pockets. but used their
failed to meet their requirements. They
dug deeper. but there We're no more
boxes. They then stopped work for the
day and started homeward The total OF
the find is said to be over $500.
Somebody was ahead of Deegan with
news of the find for his wife. She gave
one cry of deiight and almost fell IN a
faint. The Deegans had a merry supper
Saturday night.
No ore can account for the presence of
the money in the earth. The last oecn-
pant OF the house, No. S26, was g.. W.

BASEBALL'S BIG DAY
How the Local Teams Fared
In Their Contests on Sat.
urday Afternoon.
FINE SPORT AT HANDBALL
The Local Players Chase the Ball
in Lively style-With the
Crlcketers.

For the first time in many weeks the
Saturday afternoon baseball games were
not interefered with by rain on Satur-
day and the many local teams took
fun advantage of the opportunity to
hammer the leather covered sphere. The
day was an that could be desired, the hot
rays Of old Sol providing real baseball
weather. Nowhere was the fine weather
received with more joy than in the
Greenville section. More loyal cranks
than those of GreenviTe would be hard
to find. The games there are always
attended by large crowds and the pet
team, the Puritans, are most enthusiast
cally supported. This IS due largely to
the fact that the team wins nearly every
game it participates in. On Saturday
afternoon the Puritans struck a snag
however, and were forced to bite the
dust in the presence of one of the largest
crowds that ever turned out to witness
a game in the celery district. The Puri-
fan's humiliation was caused by the
clever team of ST. Peters Sodality Ly-
ceum- The Lyceum boys had an old
score to settle and they came to Green
Vile determined to do or de. A GROVE
of strong lunged rooters accompanied
the team and every brilliant play was
greeted by a shout that could be heard
a mile away. Aubrey, the clever twirler
of the visiting team, proved himself a
second Rusie. HIS control of the ball
was nothing short of remarkable, the
Puritan batsmen punching large holes IN
the air in their efforts to gauge his
puzzling curves. His pitching proved all
the more effective because of the excel
lent uppor he received from his team.
The ball seldom passed out of the infield
and the fielders had little to do. Moy1an
and Mullins rabbe hot grounders like
professionals, while Cook ,froze on to
everything that passed the batsmen.
Herr proved a wonder in the run get
ting line, he scoring no less than seven
run in nine innihES.k hSaimen, O'Con-
nor. Farrell and Mullins handled pitcher
Erhardt's curves without mercy. In the
language of the small boy, they didn't
do a thing to him. 1t was in the bat
ting that the st. Peters boys distin-
guished themselves. Everything that
came within reach they lit onto and the
Puritans players never before received
such training chasing lifts.
That the Puritans were badly ratified
at the way In which their opponents
treated Erhardts curves cannot be de-
MED. Chesterfield and Deutsch made no
less than five errors between them, while
the other players contributed six more.
AT every point the st. Peters boys out
played them, and as early as the second
inning the game was so one-sided that
all interest was taken out of it. Follow
ing is the score

The police of Hoboken were given a
big surprise Saturday afternoon by the
raiding of a pool room in the Amster-
dam Hotel, al Second and Hudson streets,
by Under Sheriffs Erwin and Mccormack
and Constable Joe Locke. For some time
past numerous attempts have been
made to conduct pool rooms in Hoboken,
but the bookies would no sooner get
down to business than word would come
that either the Prosecutor or the Sheriff
was con to" them, and they had better
close. Somehow or other the local police
never knew anything about them.
When the officers mace the raid yester-
lay they arrested the proprietors, Chas.
Russack and King.
They were taken before Justice of the
Peace George r. Seymour and held in

FOR HIS MOTHER.


The Monument Erected 10 Mary
Washington Needs Protection.
No less than SIS, 900 is needed to estab
fish an endowment fund for the first
monument erected to woman by the
women of this country. The monument
in question is in honor of Mary Wash
ington, mother of our first President,
and stands at Fredericksburg. 1t con-
sists of a handsome granite shaft erected
IN 1893 under the auspices of the Ma
tional Mary Washington Memorial As
ISOLATION, but in order to protect this
monument, more money must be SUBJ
scribed.
Mrs. Waite, the widow of the late
Chief Justice, explains the condition of
affairs as follows, in the Boston Jour
nal;'
w now have the money to build a
small cottage for the gardner and watch
man., and hope to nave it finished within
a year, but the endowment und is yet
to be found We must have the $751; 00
at least. As I had said, we W. the
money for the Gardner house, but there
are four acres of ground to be laid out
and improved with trees and ~shrubbery.
When we first commenced work we
wished to MAKE it a national affair and
asked for $1,000 from each State in the
Union. No State has as yet given US
over that amount; nor more than two
as much, and many more comparatively
nothing. Colorado has given more than
all the New England States together, ex-
cept Vermont. Massachusetts collected
a small sum at the time OF the centennial
celebration in Boston, which was after
wards paid over to us upon the compile
ton of the monument. That is all we
have had from that State. Collections
which might be made by entertainments,
fairs, concerts, colonial teas or games in
the States which so far have done
nothing, or next to nothing, would enable
US to complete our work and turn 1t over
to the trustees-the President of the
United States, the Chief Justice of
the United States and the governor. Of
the State of Virginia, all ex-officio.
1t is very important thai proper care
shall be taken TO guard this great work
from destruction. We are obliged to
have it watched all the time. Vandalism
is rampant over all the land. 1 believe,
and the relic hunter is abroad. There
is a large rock near the on
which Mary Washington used to sit with
her Bible to read and mediate, where
she undoubtedly sent up many prayers
for that noble son. That has to be CON
stantly watched, or not a vestage of it
above the ground would be left at the
end of this year"
