Jane Houston, the bank President S
wife, lost diamonds and other jewel
ry last night valued at $4,000. Mort
Green, whom the authorities were
shadowing as dangerous suspect
dropped into the Free Methodist
revival meeting last night in time to
hear Mrs. Houston explain, il giving
her experience, that she had just
discarded her diamonds and other
iewelry, which che thought ungodly
to wear. She said she left ell of her
fnery Oh her dresser when she left
her house for church.
Green left the church, broke into
the Houston house and found that
she had told the truth. He took
everything in sight, and left note
saying he was glad he could remove
temptation from the good woman.
The authorities are after him.

:. A Prehistoric City.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Jan. 90
There is much excitement at Chilli,
a mountain town forty miles east of
here, over a search for gold treasur
es. A week ago "a camp of gypsies
wss established on the creek run
ming through Chilli and near that
town. The gypsy chief of the band
told several Mexicens that by dig
ging in a certrin direction they
would come upon a cedar post, from
which point he would further di
rect them to a spot where box Is
buried, containing, it is said, three
millions in gold. The gypsy chief,
with his band, then left for the
ruins of Gran Guivera,b but told the
Mexicans not to pursue their search
after the discovery to the post, un
til his return.
The post was found, the spot in.
dicated by the gypsy. Jealous in
dividuals continued work and have
uuearthed tic walls OF a prehistoric
dwelling-in fact, have exposed the
beginning of what promises to be
the ruins Of en- extinct Indian or
Spanish City. Everybody who Las
pick and shovel is at work. The
post is fenced in by chains and sew
eral men stand guard with shot guns
and everybody is anxiously awaiting

Both Measures Defective

Washington, Jan. 30.-Senator
Villas of Wisconsin followed Mr..
Mitchell. The house bill Mr.. Villas
said, had been strangled by silver
and deserved its fate. Partisanship
or imbecility or both had again as a
year ago, stricken congress with
paralysis. The bond bill as it came
from the house was mere sham and
fraud. and deserved to be consigned
to the hecatombs of follys progeny
where the financial deeds of con.
gress for many years seemed to
belong. rs turned from it to the
graft which the finance Committee
had sprouted on it. 1t was a bad
stock grated with worse scion

Verdict Too Severe.

Cary ElllstoD, colored, was con
victed in Circuit Court Tuesday by
a jury, of burglary and larceny.
Christmas week, 1894, Cary broke
late the barber shop of Ed. Swindle,
in the classic confines Of Sahara ave.
nue., and did take, steal and carry
away one pair of clippers, the prop
erty of barber Swindle. For this be
was arrested ard the case clearly
proven against him.
The lowest sentence allowable un
der the statute for these otfenses
was five years-three for the bur
glary and two for the larceny count
in the Indictment. This was out OF
proportion to the insignificant theft
committed, so at the suggestion of
Judge Lay, the jury signed peti
tion asking Gov. Stone to commute
Cary s sentence to three years in the
renitentiary Clinton Democrat.
