DRAGGING FOR HIDDEN GOLD.
Systematic HUNT for Treasury Lost a Cen
tury Ago.

Philadelphia, Aug. 21.-The tug Meh-
rer steamed down the Delaware yes
| terday morning, having on board TWEEN
| ty-five members of an expedition re-
Gently organized in New York to search
for the wreck of the British war ship
! De Braak, which went down a century
| ago near Cape Henelopen, and, accord
ing to report, carried with her to the
bottom Of the sea $4,000, 900 in gold
This is not the first expedition that has
sought the long lost treasure, but the
capitalists now interested in the search
seem to think that they have more
definite information as to where the
ship went down, and the trip begun
yesterday is simply one of observa ton
They have, however, ample capital,
and are working with some secrecy, re-
fusing even to divulge the names of
the parties interested
An outline map of Cape Henlopin and
the adjacent coast will eb carefully
prepared by the men on board the Meh-
rer. complete set of surveying instru-
ments forming the principal part Of
their equippage. This map will be
carefully compared with old charts
and historical data now in possession
OF the promoters Of the enterprise, and
If the comparisons are satisfactory,
completely equipped with the most
modern submarine machinery will be
sent 10 the locality, and another eff
tort made to locate the wreck and re-
cover the treasure.
There is no doubt that there was a
ship De Braak, and that she foundered
near Cape Henlopin, for the bodies of
captain Drew ana several of his crew
who went down with the ship were
washed ashore and given burial in the
little graveyard at LeweS. Delaware
A monument was erected over the grave
OF Captain Drew, and the ancient shaft
is still aconspicuous object in the
quaint burial ground.
The exact spot where the De Braak
went down is not known accurately
The ship, history rather vaguely SAYS,
was returning to England with gold
collected from Central American gov
ernments. Stress Of weather forced
captain Drew to try and reach a shelf |
er in Delaware Bay. The wind drove |
Henlopen, and she was dashed To pieces !
Very few if any of her crew survived |
but for many years the story of her |
cargo of bullion has been credited. and |
many vain attempts have been made TO !
locate the treasure. Divers have work /
ed all along the coast during the sum- |
mer months but all have been forced |
to abandon the search because of the !
heavy seas that roll in at that point
of the coast
The recent discovery in London OF a
chart compiled over century ago and
now in possession Of the maritime ex-
change, shows that Cape Henlopen was
at the time of the De Braak disaster
located at the mouth OF Indian river
several miles further down the coast
than the present location. This fact |
may possibly account for the i'll luck |
or previous searches made for the wreck |
The capitalists interested IN the pres
ent expedition have. however. taken |
this matter into consideration, and will
spare neither time nor money in prose-
cutting the search.

Rochester N. Y, Aug. H.-The attend
hnce today was slight Improvement
over that Of yesterday but was away
below the average of the poorest years

was of a fair quality there being large
fields and close finishes in all but the
first event.
In the 2:20 pace Fannie S, accom-
plfshed the somewhat unusual feat Of
clipping S1a seconds off her best pre-
ViouS mark. Boneta won the third
heat and she too made a great reduc-
ton in her record, taking off seven sec
seconds. Arcutrus was looked upon to
win the race but Fannie S, was not
regarded as an outsider by any means
The go stake went to Larabee in
straight heats. Fred Kohl was distnc-
ed in the first heat and that left only
two to finish with Larabee. Queechey
got away with the 2:l3 class race in
straight heats although he had a hard
fight each time.
Tomorrow John S. Johnson will go
against the mile and half record pac-
ed by a quad and champion Alix will
make the attempt to lower her record.

WAS TOUGH ON WALAN.
In the Murder Trial ut Gross He Contra
diets His Principal Witness

Cross, o. T., Aug. 2l.-At an early
hour this morning motley crowd fill
ed the halls Of the district court room
eager for the hour at hand of the clock
to mark 9. At that time the doors Of
the court room were thrown open and
the second day of the Nolan murder
trial began.
AT 10 a. m, the territory rested its
case and the defense opened. Many
witnesses were examined during the
day, and the testimony ELECTED from
them was very conflicting. The last
witness on the stand was the defend
ant, Nolan himself. Nolan was per-
fectly composed and gave his testimo-
ny in a Straightforward manner. On
cross-examination, however, he became
very much excited and contradicted
his principal witness, Charlton. This
is the strongest point so far made
against Nolan. At the conclusion Of
Nolans testimony the defense rested,
and the prosecution put four witnesses
on the stand in rebuttal. The case was
then closed. Counsel for both sides of
the case will make their arguments to-
morrow, and the case will so to the
jury.

PASSENGERS SHARE THE CREDIT.
Their Conduct After the Lycn-Sea ford Col
lision Described as Admirable.


New Haven, Eng, Aug. 21-At the
office of the company owning the two
steamers Lyon and Seaford. which coll
lided last night in a fog, it was said
there was no truth in the statement
that one of the ships gave wrong sig
nal and that this was the cause of the
collision.
State Senator Osman Of st. Paul. who
was one of the passengers. says the
American and English passengers,
after the first shock behaved admira-
bly,. In fact, he adds, but for their as
sistance. the task of transferring the
passengers of the Seaford TO the Lyon
would not have been so easy, and prob
ably all would not have been rescued.
The Seaford is now lying in thirty
five fathoms of water and il is believed
no attempt will be made TO raise her.
London. Aug. 21.-The Standard says
that many Americans who were on the
Seaford have called at the United
States embassy for assistance and adj
vice, having lost everything except the
clothes they had on in the accident One
lady lost nearly 1000 pounds 100000.
all Of them highly praised the conduct
Of the captain and crew of the Seaford.
