BOSTON & ALBANY STOCK.
A Deal Of Interest Caused by Sudden Rise
Of Price Of Stock.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA special to the
Evening Post from New Haven, Conn,
says: The sudden rise OF the prices OF
Boston * Albany stock has aroused a
gooo deal of interest in this city, and
much speculation as to its cause. 1t was
stated last night that President Clark
was in New York and would not go to
Boston until Thursday and also that Pres
ident Bliss OF the Boston & Albany Com
pauy was IN Florida, a place from which
he would be unlikely to arrange a deal
President Clark, it is certain, has within
two days made an explicit ueH1at here
of any negotiation for the control of the
Boston & Albany under circumstance
which, unless some sudden change has
occurred within a day or two, make that
denial absolutely conclusive. The deal
could only take place by an exchange Of
stock with an altern ative lease, as was
done in the case of the Old Colony read.

The GypSy'S Buried Pot of
Shining Gold.
Wonderful Discovery While
Digging for the Metal.
Evidence of a Prehistoric City Has
Been Unearthed.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Jan. 20. h Is
considerable excitement at Chilli, a little
mountain town 40 miles east OF this city. over
what purports to be tho greatest search for
treasure trove OF this gold-seeking age. A
week ago a camp Of gypsies was established
on the creek running through Chilli and
near that town. The gypsy chief OF the band
told several Mexicans that ny digging in a
certain direction they would come upon a
cedar post, from which point he would further
direct them TO a SPOT where "a box IL buried
containing 80, 000. 600 in gold. The gypsy chief
with his band, left for the ruins OF Gran
Quivera. but told tho Mexicans not TO pursue
their search after the discovery OF the post
until his return. Sure enough. the post was
found in tho exact spot indicated by the
gypsy, but a few jealous individuals kept on
with the work, and, IL is learned, have un-
ear,hed the walls of a prehistoric dwelling.
in fact have exposed the beginning Of what
promises TO be the ruins Of an extinct Indian
or Spanish city. Everybody has a pick and
shovel and is bound to find the treasure.

raisers Of that section has a gang OF men at

City Needs Money TO Finish
School Buildings.
Chairman Phillips SaySAnOth-
,er Loan is the Only Way.
Does Not Approve of Special PrOvi-
siOns for Meeting Emergencies.

1t is very probable that the next important
recommendation from the finance committee
Of the City Council will be TO secure authority
from the General Assembly to borrow about
$3.50, 600 with which TO complete the work 81
building the Hope Street High School and the
Brown Street Grammar School.
Chairman Phillips says that the work must
be done, and there Is only one feasible way
Of securing the money. and that is through
another loan.
Within a few months the city Is 10 receive
over $3.50, 900 as the last instalment of the
payment for the lands sold to the railroad.
There Is an ordinance which provides that all
moneys received from the sails Of public lands
must bo used TO defray the city debt, and
that, OF course. applies to the s2jO,OO0 70 be. re-
ceived from the railroad company. 1t has
been suggested. however, that this amount
be made an exception Of. and by special pro-
vision authorized by vote Of the Council 20
be used on the school work. theoretically it
would make no difference in dollars and cents
in the city dcot. but Chairman Phillips
strongly objects TO such a method on princi-
pie. One way is to take money for necessary
expenses when ordinarily ii would be paid
out for debt. and the other is to pay it on the
debt. and borrow 1t over again. The second
way 10 the regular one, according to the
ordinances, and the only one approved OF by
the finance committee.
Chairman Phillips said yesterday that he
realized the Legislature would. in all proba.
bility, adjourn at the end Of this week until
some time in April. and that nothing could be-
done until after the recess. It,the Legisla-
ture should hold on for another week. how
ever, something may be done TO hasten
matters at city hall next Monday night.

THE NEW INSTRUCTOR.
Lieut.. Abbott Well Known in Militia Cir
cleS In This State.

The appointment OF First Lieutenant
Charles W. Abbott, Jr., of the 18th In
fantry, to succeed Lieutenant Frederick
wooley as United States inspecting officer
attached to the Rhode Island militia, will
give great satisfaction to the military
men of this State. The appointee has a
large number of friends here who will
give him a warm greeting when he takes
up his residence in this state.
Lieutenant Abbott is a Rhode Island
boy, having been born in Warren, where
for many years he resided. He is the
son of paymaster Charles W. Abbott of
the United States navy, retired.
He was educated at Mowry & COTS
school in this city and the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, and is about 81
years OF nge. From 1879 to 1882 he was
connected with the militia Of the State,
and was very highly esteemed by his
comrades. lie entered the Government
service and attended the officers school
at Fort L~eavenworth and was commits
stoned as second lieutenant in the 18th
Infantry. He was appointed adjutant of
his regiment for four years, and for three
years was post adjutant at Fort Leaven-
worth. AT the officers school at that
post he has served as instructor in inter-
national, constitutional and military law
and also in military engineering.
The present residence OF Lieutenant
Abbott is at Fort Niobrara, Nebraska.
One thing, though, that his frienos are
especially proud of, is his marked success
without the benefit of the education of a
military academy, as they see in it marked
proof of unusual ability.
