RICH FIND OF BOYS.
YOUNGSTERS UNEARTH Bon CON.
TANNING SEVERAL $40 GOLD PIECES.

A big sensation was created IN
Pottsville by the finding at the upper
end of Pottsville of tin box contain
ing S14o in gold In the denomination
of seven $40 gold pieces.
The treasure was found by Willie
Miller, aged about IA years, and a
son of George Skidmore, upon the
property of the latter. The boys
found the gold in a coal bin which is
located some distance from the house.
1t appears that they were engaged
in cleaning out the coal house, which
has a ground floor, and Unexpectedly
unearthed the tin box containing the
gold pieces.
1t is believed that this is part Of
the money buried by wealthy Scotch
man named John McNair, who at one
time lived in the house now occupied
by the Skidmores, and died, leaving
no property as far as any one could
learn, but who, it is believed, buried a
large amount of money, portion of
which is the $40 in gold.
McNair went to California when
the gold fever broke out there in 184o,
and returned about 1864 with between
$4,000 and $4,000 in gold. AS he
never believed in banks, it was
thought he buried his money, but
failed to reveal its hiding place even
on his death bed. He was a man Of
eccentric habits, and was always flush
and paid his debts in gold.

English Ind, July 6.-As result of the
riot at the picnic given by the German
Roman Catholics at Siberia. Perry county,
Thursday afternoon three persons are
dead, five fatally wounded and fifty seri-
ously hurt A desperate fight, which last
ed for an hour was precipitated by gang
of local roughs, whose number was aug

to the picnic inhamed with whisky and
armed with clubs and knives, and started
a fight in which a thousand persons IN

men and children for it seems that the
intruders spared neither sex or age.
The district is very wooded and lonely;
the little place boasts of a few dozen
struggling houses and a Roman Catholic
church, the congregation of which is COM
posed of Germans. They are simple, In

annoyed recently by persons opposed to
their religion. Thursday they planned 10
enjoy a great picnic in the woods sur
rounding the village. The entire popu-
lation turned out to attend and all went
smoothly enough until several gangs Of
disturbers appeared on the scene and be-
gan to make trouble. There were num-
Der of booths on the grounds, where in
toxicants were served. These were liber-
ally patronized by the intruders, who soon
began to, insult the Germans and their
wives. The priest was present and coun.
seled his people to avoid trouble If posi-

in which everybody took part. Clubs,

This has been an exciting evening with

create trouble. The men are all armed, and
seem DESTROYS of getting the non-union
men at the mines in operation to cease
work. Beyond hooting and brandishing
weapons they have done nothing so far,
and no property has been destroyed. The
action of Gov. McCorkle in calling out the
Second regiment of the state militia last
night has had a satisfactory effect on the
miners, as did the arrival during the day

been on the verge of starvation. The Sec

rising occur. The reports sent out that the
men have destroyed property are abso-
