THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 10, 1886.
BURIED MONEY FOUND.

AT the close of the war, when Ger.
Sherman's army was marching abol t
North Caroiiu, people who had money
in the local bank of High Point with
drew it, and endeavored TO conceal 1t.
An old man of the name of Peter Pool
mad $40, 900 in gold in the bank vault
as n special deposit, which he carried
away and buried in the ground near
Sunbuy postoffice, a few miles FROM
HIGH Foint.
After the scare was over, Mr.. Pool
Went out in the woods to get his money,
snd was unable to find it. He kept his
f.lure to himself, fearing somebody
9 Sc would find his treasure and steal
10. But, strange as it may seem, ne
had lost the location, aud never did
tiud the gold, and finally the Old man
lost his mind, and died an inmate OF
the asylum at Raleigh. Since that
time the Cape Fear and iadkin Rail.
road has been built by SunbuIy. a man OF
thg name of j. n. Parker bought land at sun
bury. and has been cultivating tobacco and
selling timber. He had heard OF the hidii 6
OF the money by Pool, and of how the who!o
face OF the earth had been dug over after the
secret got out but he did not make any search
himself for the buried Treasure.
On Wednesday last, as Parker was walking
over his and he observed that a very large
oak tree had been blown up by the roots AS
he passed by the tree he saw what appeared
to be iiou an box among the roofs He pulled
it out, aud found it very heavy. and fastened
b. ,wo old -fasi Toned padlocks. He mansged
t, lug the box to his dwelling and broke 1t
open In it he found $4,000 in gold con.
Il appeared that the tree was hollow, and that
the dit had been excavated through the hol
low and the box then put down among the
roots 1t is not doubted that this money be-
on,ed to Pool 1t is understood that Pool ;eit
no heirs. If this is true, the Chapel Hill Uni
versty will probably contest with Mr. Parker
the ownership of the treasure trOve, as all
escheats 20 to the university.

PINNED TO A HOT STOVE.

The wind that prevailed in Railway,
N. j., on Tuesday, was even more Sc
we're than during the storm of last
week. About noon, when it was at its
height, al old house on upper Main
street was almost completely demolish-
ed, end two persons were injured,
probably fatally. The dwelling was
occupied by Mrs. Schwlndinger and
her FIVE children.
VAT the time of the calamity Mrs.
Schwindinger and one son, who is a
cripple, were ct home. The boy, who
is hut six years old, was lying on a
lounge in the kitchen, while his mother
was engaged at the hot stove. The
house was trembling under the pressure
of the wind, when the large chimney
over the kitchen fell, crashing through
the roof, and landing upon the woman
and her helpless son.
Mrs. Schwindinger was borne down
upon the hot stove by the debris, while
the little cripple was completely cover
ed by brick and mortar. So securely
was the mother pinioned to the stove
by timbers that she could not extricate
herself, but gave vent to heartrending
screams which brought to her succor
seysral neighDors, who ran to the scene.
Fred Haltmand and Frank Hermes
entered the kitchen. and after much
difficulty pulled Mrs. Schwindinger
from her perilous position. The boy
was taken with his mother to the house
of a neighbor, and doctors were called.
The woman had been horribly burned
and scalded. The doctors are fearful
that both will die.
