TREASURE SEEKERS
HIDALGo COUNTY
A Party of Americans Exploring the
Alto Colorado Cave.

A letter from Delfina, Hidalgo
county to the Galveston News
dated Sept. %, has the following &C.
count of treasure seeking expedi-
ton in our neighborihg county:
s'The News correspondent was
somewhat surprised the other day
while travelling over the northern
part of this county to come upon a
party of Americans at work on an
old cave at the Alto Colorado. In
quiry developed the fact that they
were hunting for treasure which was
supposed to have been hidden in the
cave over two hundred years ago.
The gentlemen were rather reticent
on the subject, and but little could
be learned from them, but it appears
that some of them are firm believers
in spiritualism and the spirits have
revealed to them the existence of
this cave and that somewhere with
in its depths large amount of gold
bars lie hidden.
There are very few of the oldest
inhabitants of this county who have
any knowledge of the existence of a
cave at the Alto Colorado, as the
mouth of it has been filled up for
perhaps over a hundred years and no
external mark left to indicate its To-
cation, and it does seem a little
strange that those strangers should,
without any guide or Landmark, pro-
coed at once to the spot and after a
day or two's excavating unearth what
is evidently the mouth of an i'm
mense cavern. They have explored
for a distance of almost fifty feet
L ne main I'll cut. WHiSi inv. YIN
tend with is the sand and drift,which
has been accommodating in the pas
sages for ages, and their progress is
necessarily slow, but they are pro-
vided with all tools and material
necessary for such work and they
seem determined to make thorough
exploration. If they do nothing else
they will develop an interesting
cave, and ii. they do not succeed in
finding treasure they may come up
on something that will throw some
light on the early history of this
section.
There is a legend among the old
Mexicans that the neighborhood OF
the Alto Colorado was in old times
a haunt for robbers and bandits and
it is possible that they may have
buried treasure in this cave"

A TIMELY REMINDER.

Each season forces upon our con-
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds
many reduced in strength and vigor
poorly prepared to continue the bus
mess of life. The stomach and bow
els, the greatest highway animal
economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fall. The nervous sys-
TEN has also suffered in the struggle.
Typhoid fever andmalaria i'll partic-
ular find in the fall that combina-
ton of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dam
gerous. The falling leaves, the de-
caying vegetables contribute their
share of contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparilla furnishes a most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laip you low.

was supper given by Mr.. T. Pliny Mo-

Cherry & Company's clothing department,
to all the employees of his department..
The company sat down at 1890 o'clock to
a table freIghted with all the good thugs
that Dame Nature provides in the golden

a chef OF undoabted qualifications. The
gliuting electric lights shone down on as

their way rejoicing, the Times preacher
was called upon to go out into the night
and crafty two pathetic requests that
had been received at the office earlier
In the day.
The first of these came from John Harris,
q young mulatto, wYo besought The Times
to send its minister to his home, No. A1o
Temple court southwest, and marry him
to Clara Brown.
I'VE have been living together for long
time," he said, although unmarried,
Clara cannot come to The Times office to
be married, because you see, sir, she is
the mother of q little baby and it is only q
few hours old. We are afraid the police
may arrest me, because, you know, can
not leave her TO hide from them while she
Is sick In bed"
Johns request was granted, and While
the big bells on st. Peters were striking
8 o'clock last night he was welded to
Clara, she being propped up in bed with
pillow while the ceremony vas performed
by Rev. J. W. Norris, assisted by his son.
Mary Lizzie Mercer, who is confined to her
bed with young child, was married in a
similar manner last night, to the father
of the little one, Nathan Brown, at their
home, No. COS Freeman's alley northwest.
A number of additional applications to
be married were received last evening from
white aud colored couples, too late to
procure licenses. They win be Joined
together IN wedlock tomorrow afternoon
in The Times building, between the hours
of 8 aud o'clock p. m.
AS an evidence of the increased activity
in the marriage market owing to the en-
forcement OF the Edmunds act by the po-
lice, Mr. John X. Young, clerk of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, stated that sixty-four
marriage licenses were issued from his
office yesterday.
An old coIored man from South Wash

on Friday, was asked by the clerk:
''Are you not afraid the devil will get
