NEARLY A..MILLIoN.
A Fabulous Sum of Money Supposed to
be Buried in New Jersey.


be Buried in New Jersey.
From correspondent of the Globe-Demo-
crat.
On Il hill situated about three miles be-
low Lambcrtvillc, on the PENNSYLVANIA
side OF the Delaware river, there is re-
ported to be buried fabulous sums of En-
glish gold. The hill is known rs Bow
man 5 hill. and is familiar to all the older
inhabitants of this city and Newhopc,
who say that it has II history connected
with the revolutionary war.
y portion of the English army canned
near the hill during the war, ana on the
top is Il plot OF ground enclosed bv an iron
fence. In this Enclosure soldiers of the
English army lie buried. 1t is Il story
that has often been told in this vicinity
that gold had been buried OH this hill by
English soldiers, who, being hastily or
dered away, secreted their money i'm the
HILL expecting after the war was over to
return and get it. They were either killed
III battle or left the country
General bowman, from whom the hill
takes its name, was an officer in the Eng
lish General Howc's army. General Bow
mans body lies buried in the plot on the
hlll but that this time cannot be distin-
guished from others.
y short time ago Aaron McCarty, who
farms small piece of ground ut the foot
OF the hill, was OH Il visit to Oil City, Pa,
and while there made the acquaintance of
an Englishman, who, upon learning that
NlcCarty lived in this region, pulled an
old crumpled piece of paper from his
pocket. He asked McCarty if he could
locate the chart which was drawn upon
IT. McCarty ut once recognized it as
Bowman's hill. The man then told Nc
Carly that this chart had been given him
before he left the mother country. He
said that on this hill was buried some
100000 in English sovereigns placed
four feet under the earth in four canvass
bags. The man told McCarty if he would
assist him i'll the search for the gold he
would amply reward him. An agl cement
WAS entered into that the Englishman
should come on, and search commenced.
McCaruy came home, and after some
time, not hearing from lbs Dcw-found
employer, became uneasy, and made IL
hurried "trip to Oil City. He located his
man, and was informed that he had died
week before in Il hospital with typhoid
fever.
On his return home he told Of his con
versation with the stranger, saying that
the chart was exact drafting of Bowman's
hill. On the east side, near Il clump of
trees, IL spot was designated by Il cross
These trees have been cut down. but Me-
Carly says that he can locate the spot
readily. He intends to start digging at
once, and is confident that he will find
