GLISTENING WITH GOLD.
The Richness of the New Find Has Not Been Exaggerated-0wned by an Anns-
 ton Company.

Anniston, July 1S.-(Speciai.) )-Mr. E. I5. c. Roberts, who has just returned from Arbacoochee, Cleburne county, near where the rich gold vein was found Sat urday was interviewed this morning by the Age-Herald correspondent. He said that the reports of the size and richness of the vein had not been exaggerated and that it fairly glistened with the yell low metal. The vein, which was found at depth of about 30 feet has been tested very little as yet, and there is no way of computing it's value. Several thousand dollars worth of gold has al- ready been taken out even with the crude and imperfect methods which are used. The property is owned by the Anniston Gold Mining company. of which William Noble and E. E. G. Roberts. both of this city, are president and secretary and treasurer. respectively. The gentlemen who were enormously reported in the Age-Herald this morning as owners have some land near by however.
 The Anniston Gold Mining company knew of the existence of the vein and have had the Messrs. Hilton, who are practical gold miners and who discoV- cred the vein, looking for it for fur or five months This vein is supposed to be the mother of all the placer deposits in that immediate section, from which something over s1 100000 worth of gold was taken in the 40s. Several Califor- mia gold miners who are at Arbacoochee declare that they have never seen or heard of anything in California or else where to equal it. Scores of prospectors and capitalists have been attracted and many options asked for, with but few sold. The gold fever in Cleburne has never been higher or more hopeful and the excitement is intense. Anniston is greatly interested, both on account of the hearness of the fields to this city and the fact that the rich vein is owned by an Anniston company.
 The Anniston Library association have arranged for a lyceum course of lectures next season.

phreatens 10 Assume Large Proportions.

New York. July 1S.-The movement of gold out of the country threatens to as sume larger proportions. Nesslage. Col gate & Co.,. the bullion firm who have already forwarded $400,000 gold to Eu- rope, including $S0.000 which left on the steamship Normania, have arranged for . the shipment of an additional $1.000000 on Saturday on the steamer Etruria. The Canadian bank of Commerce sent $75 GOO in gold to Montreal today, and w. H. Crossman & Co.,, leading coffee import ing house, are considering the advisabili- ty of exporting S50,000 or $1, 100000 in gold Saturday.
 Crossman & Go. have large remit tance to make to Europe this week. The only question under consideration Is whether it will be cheaper to send the gold or bills of exchange. It was admit ted at the office of the company that the question was under consideration, and if bills could not be secured at a rate which would make the shipment of gold un- profitable the latter form of remittance would be chosen.

A Panorama Three Miles Long.

The most remarkable piece of panoramic painting ever attempted was 2, ,0o0 mile view of scenery along the Mississippi river which was executed by John Banvard, tho artist, who died at Watcrtowp, $. D., in tho summer of 1891. This wonderful pam orama, which gave faithful and clear cut pictures of bluffs, river mouths, farms, prairie dclls and wooded promontories along the Father of Waters for a distance almost as great as that which separates St. Louis from New York, was painted on strip of canvas 22 feet wide and nearly nailes long. Nothing similar has ever been attempted on such q gigantic scale, and whilo Artist Banvard was not known as "tho Michael Angelo of America" he will long be remembered by tho lovers of the curious in either art or nature as the man who painted the largest painting ever known.-St. Louis Republic.

noon. DIR. Palmer told him that among
the old gentlemen's effects was letter
to William M. Smith, directing that he be
the administrator of his effects. lie also
stated that he desired to be buried beside
his fa ther and mother in the old family
burying lot at North Kingsto,, n. George
III. Smith lives on the old homestead and
says that so far as he knows the dead
man was born in this city, and that Will
liam B. Smiths father was born on the
same place, and his mother but short
distance from it. William Nj. Smith is
thought to be at Newport, and his ar
rival is needed to straighten out the
affairs OF the dead man. DIR. PalmerSsas
asked IL there was much money, and the
answer was that there was enough TO pay
all bills, and to pay for being an admin
istrator. The body will for the present
remain at the North End Cemetery, as
its condition is such that il cannot be
moved until cold weather.
The deceased left no immediate rela-
tives but has a number of cousins on both
sides of the family, Mr.. Brown, the sta
tion agent at Wexford, being one Of
them. George III. Smith would perhaps
be appointed administrators. If he could
not find William Smith.
