about the fields searching, searching for
MS lost treasure, crying aloud IN his an
gulsh of mind, but never sutfi ficlently col
Iecting his thoughts to follow the paths
ne mad formerly taken to reach the cache.
HIS wife had the ground III the direction
IN which he had first looked when told OF
the changes in the farm carefully searched,
but no trace of the box was found.
Gradually Sllva's mind became more and
more clouded until it was finally deemed
best to have him restrained, and he was
sent to DR.. Traynor's private sanltarlum
IN Alameda, where he died after some
years OF confinement.
For several years following Silva's death
searches were made periodically for the
hidden hoard. Men living on the island
who had known of its existence dug over
acres of ground and delved deep into the
soil In their eagerness to possess the
treasure, but their efforts came to naught
and they finally gave up in despair.
Then medium who had heard the story
OF Sllva's hoard told some OF her followers
that the box was located in the center of a
certain mathematical figure formed by the
trees in the orchard.
Despite the widow S protests, they began
a mad hunt for the gold, digging deep
trenches among the trees and making the
wellkept place look like hastily built
fortified camp.
nc neululn again gave tueIN ulTeCtlOnS,
after they had become disguised, saying
that she must have misinterpreted the
signs of the spirits and that the treasure
must be buried beneath the house.
Before they could be prevented the gold
hunters had dug away a portion of the
foundations, and only left when the thor
oughly exasperated widow hired a man
with shotgun to prevent them from un-
dermining the house. Then the widow
tried again to find the money and had
holes drilled over acres and acres of
ground, hoping that the iron point would
strike the box and thus reveal its where
abouts, but all in vain, and finally despair
ing of ever recovering the treasure, she
sold her farm to B. Benedict, in whose
possession it still remains, and left the
island.
Many of the old settlers on the island
the Clevelands, McDonalds. Hamlins and
Benedicts-remember Silva and his buried
treasure perfectly and often relate the
story OF the box and its unfortunate owner
when showing visitors over their fat
acres and well-kept fields.
Recently some mysterious persons, who
are believed by the islanders to be treas
ure-hunters, have been making inquiries

was much worn at that perlod.) The
morning dress had the same sort of coat,
but real trousers, not drawn in at the
ankle.
At the period I am speaking of, about
1919 or 1920, gentlemen generally wore in
the evening kneebrecches, black, with long
black silk stockings. and very small buckets
on their shoes; but very soon after that
date all the young men in the evening wore
trousers, leaving the other costume to their
elders, and speedily the generality OF the
elders followed suit. But for riding, as even
to this day in the hunting fields, shorts and
topboots were common, though Inever saw
my father in these, great rider as he was,
as he always rode in trousers fastened
under the feet with leather straps. Soon
these straps became the fashion for gentle
men all day long. Gradually, very gradu-
ally. the frock coat superseded the fswal-
low-tail' for morning wear, the blue some
times changed to brown, and the gilt but

are worn to this day. By the year 1924 or

STOLE TO FIGHT INDIANS.
Matthew Reilly steals s23 and Arms
HissFr5ends.

Matthew Reilly, a boy, ten years old,
of Nc. 5l5 Newark avenue, took a pocket
book containing s23 from a table in the
home of Mrs. St;flman, who lives on
Pavonia avenue, near Chestnut street. 1t
appears that the boy delivered parcels
at Mrs. Stfllman,s almost every day, and
on Saturday morning while making one
Of his deliveries he saw the p~ocketbook
and took it. He went to Bolan's toy
store at the Five Corners and purchased
three air guns, costing 81 apiece, some
harmonious and other playthings. REILLY
and two of his playmates had a fine time
all Saturday afternoon playing Indian.
Each boy had a gun. When night came
they were afraid to take the gun home
fearing tina their new acquisitions would
be noticed and they would be questioned
as to where they had obtained them. So
the young Indian fighters went to the
vacant house, No. Is Elliot place, and
tearing a board from the side, hid the
guns in the hole and replaced the board.
Then they went home, young Reilly TAX
ing the remaining money, amounting to
SIS, with him.
Mrs. Stillman reported her loss to the
police of the Oakland avenue station. The
police got on the track of GUN Reilly at
the toy store n soon found the guns
concealed in the side of the house at
Elliot place. Last night young Reilly
was arrested. He did not deny his little
~escapade. The money in his possession
was returned to Mrs. Stillman and the
parents. This morning in the Second
Criminal Court Mrs. Stillman did not ap-
pear to make a charge against little
Reilly and he was allowed to go.

against EAc ES~YdfG EtEc
Senator William d. Daily this morning,
as counsel for John Horse, a contractor
laying the water main supplying Bayonne
with water from the East Jersey Water
Company, secured from vice-Chancellor
Emery an order restraining the Hydraulic
Construction Company from proceeding
with Their work, compelling them to
make an accounting to Mr.. Horie and or
der.ng them to permit the books and ae-
counts of the company to be examined
by Mr.. Horie. The order also forbids the
company to remove any OF It's property
from the Jurisdiction of the Court.
This is the result of a suit begun by
Senator DAILY on behalf of Mr.. Horie, an
last Saturdays News Mr.. Hor:e a

pany and the latter had Horie Indicted in
New York on a charge of padding the
pay rolls of the company. Horie was adj
m:tted to bail.
In the bill filed in the New Jersey

petitioner sets up that If the pay rolls
were padded, although he did not pad
them, they were fixed in the interests
of the company because by the terms OF
their agreement between the Hydraulic
Construction Company and the New Jer-

morning is returnable next Monday n

There was a rush of property owners
to pay taxes this morning. City Collector
Smith detailed four of the clerks Of his
Office to assist the clerks of the Tax Conn
mission, who are stationed in the Alder
manic Chamber to make out bills for APP
plicants. The clerks were all on hand at
fees of the City Collector and Comptrol-
Ter We're thrown open. There were a hum
dred or more property owners demanding
bills and they were furnished with as
much rapidity as possible. All the officials
interested in the collection of taxes were
disappointed at being unable to make the
collection in the New City Hall, where
greater facilities for the prompt handling
of the work and the comfort of
are provided. The Mayor, as has been
his custom. threw his Office open for the
accommodation of the taxpayers. AS a
consequence as soon as bills are procured
formed to the Collectors office. As soon
as the taxes are paid the people are al
lowed to sit in the Mayors Office while
the messengers carry the bills from the
Collectors office to the Comptroller,
where they are duly receipted and re-
turned to the owner.
Up to noon today there had been very
little grumbling about assessments, but
it was a noticeable fact that a majority
of the property owners who put in an
early appearance were small holders.
The impression seemed to be entertained
by many of the taxpayers that a rebate
of Il per cent. is allowed from now until
December 20. Such a rate as u per cent.
q month would be ruinous to the city
and would, it 10 estimated. cost it in the
neighborhood of $500, 600, as all the large
holders Of realty would doubtless. profit
by the immense discount. The u per
cent. given for abe prompt payment
of taxes Is u per cent. a year, or one
per cent. a month. This rebate will hold
good until December 20. The rebate, in
conjunction with the reduction of ten
cents on the thousand in the tax rate.
has done much to pacsfy some of the
property owners who make a kick an
nually about their valuations. The Tax
Commissioned think hat very little
fault will be found this year. Thu assess
ments, they say, a been equalized, and
where valuations have been raised they
contend that there was excellent ground
for it.
Whether the valuations are satisfactory
or not will develope When the Commits
sioners of Appeal meet.
