OF the recent purchase Of gold 10y the

Looking For Gold.


CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa. Feb. 2.-The
foreign coke workers in the vicinity OF
Broadford are wrought up over a legend
which some one has told them, to the
effect that two chests of gold lie buried in
that neishborhood. The legend is an old
one and has been handed down from one
generation to another in Fayeite county.
According To the story General Brad
dock buried two chests of gold on the
Narrows hill just above Broadford on the
retreat after he had been repulsed and
morially wounded at the battle of Brad
docks field by the French and Indians i'm
l755. the work being done at night by
blindfolded soldiers. The intention was
10 return at some future time and recover
the hidden treasure, bat General Brad
dock died and the remnant of his army
never got back over the IQnte Of the re-
treat.
Diligent search has been made many
times for the hidden wealth but always
without success. Not until the Hungar-
ians were told the story, however, has
there been such a thorough securing of
that section of the country. on days that
the coke workers lay off squads of men

done? That the credit Of the govern
ment was not affected abroad is shown
by the fact that more than four times
the amount of these bonds was sub
scribed for in London within forty

premium was bid for them, which
made their value SlITl, and SIG has
been offered and declined in our own
home market, 50 the difference between
Sll2g. the amount secured by the syn
dicate, and the Sll7l since offered for
therl, being per cent. on the total
amount, is an additional loss 10 the
government.
The claim, and the only excuse we
have seen made for this wretched and
humiIiating bargain and enormous loss
to the government, is that the Presi-
dent was forced TO appeal 10 the for
eign syndicate TO save our National
treasury from bankruptcy. The rush
for these bonds, both here and in Ell
rope, gives the lie to this pretext, and
clearly shows that they would have
been eagerly taken if offered TO the
public by the President, but he chose
to demand of Congress gold bonds,
while he was negotiating with the for
eign syndicate for these bonds which
were 50 eagerly sought after. That
these bonds for which SIG is now re-
fused should have been sold for 1913 i
not only most disereditable, but de
mands a thorough examination. The
Secretary Of the Treasury should be
called upon by the next Congress to
explain, if he can, why the peoples
interests were thus sacrificed.

Frederick Douglass, the noted freed
man. orator aud diplomat, died Il few
minutes before : o'clock Wednesday, at
his residence in Anacostia, "A suburb of

was unexpected. as he had been enjoying
the best of health.
During the afternoon he attended the
convention Of the National Council OF
Women, now in progress in Washington,
and cha;ted with Susan b. Anthony and
others of the leading members.
When he returned home he had no feel
ing of illness, though he appeared to be n
little exhausted from the climb up the
steep flight of steps leading from the
street to the house, which is ON high
terrace. He sat down aud chatted with
his wife about the convention, telling OF
various things that had been said and
done. suddenly he gasped, elasped his
hand to his heart and fell back uncon-
scious.
\ doctor was hastily summoned and
arrived within a few moments, but his eff

attack the faint motion of the heart ceased
entirely, and the great ex-slave states

ala escaped and 10 one was even slightly
injured. The fire was first discovered in
the attic Immediately above the class

The property destroyed was valued at

robbers broke open the door of the resi-

spinster, seven miles north of the city,
last night. using fence rail as bat

bound Miss Momson and Henry Bowers

They searched the house, overturning
everything, and secured 800 in money,
a certificate of deposit for a large sum
and gold watch. Mr.. Bowers, who
offered resistance. was hit over the head
with wagon spoke, but not seriously
hurt. The burglars said they would
post notice at the gate, telling what

noted the absence of signs of life about
the house, and on making an investiga-

From the Boston Herald.
Secretary Carlisle IN his bargain with
the presen. Rothschild syndicate. sold
them bonds n l0E at the very moment
when much less valuable class Of Gov
ernmen: bonds was worth Il0l in the
open market. The thirty-year4 per cents
which he placed with the syndicate at
I0is, shOald have brought over llg. accoT-
ding to the current quotations OF the
bond market. Secretary Sherman in
ls7S sold 10 a Rothschild syndicate So
O90.0o0 bonds AZ the full market price of
the day. and the sole concession which
the foreign bankers obtained from him
in the transaction was 4 commission @;
one-half Of one per cent. paid them for
acting as agents Of the government. There
IS an impressive contrast between the two
operations. 1t measures the tremendous
difference between a Sherman and a
Carlisle
