VATICAN TREAsUREs.-A dispatch

VATICAN TREAsUREs.-A dispatch
from Rome says: The Pope was recently
informed of the discovery in the Vati-
can archives of a supposed communica.
ton from Pontius Plate to Emperor
Iiberius respecting the crucitixion oil
Jesus. His Holiness ordered that 8
careful study be made of the manu-
script. This proved that the document
was apparently OF a date about $50 A.
D., and that it alluded to such COM
munication, but the original has not
been found. Other fragmentary manu-
scrips of the third and fifth centuries
bearing on the same subject, have been
discovered.

they were in struggling order footsore
and grimy from four days in the
trenches and long exposure to shells
enough to unnerve veterans. They went
along in silence, contrast to the ordi-
nary chattering in the Greek ranks. The
night was pitch dark, and the red glare
at Kuturi and Deli in the distance added
to the weirdness of the scene.
Later l passed batteries of artillery,
mule trains, carts, wagons, crying vii
layers. women and children. All were
hopelessly mixed All arms were inter-
mingled, and the confusion was COM
pleted by the shouts and rushes of the
Ezones and irregulars in every style of
outfit Their previous sullenness gave
place to the clamor of disappointed and
disspirited men. They forgot their weari-
ness in wild imprecations The retreat
became a rout. Our carriage was slow

women and children, and the horses, all

Vigorous Investigation Into the Man.
ner of His Death to be rIade.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2S.-Acting
on the theory that Windsor Keefer. the
missing mining man, has been muir
dered, his relatives will soon institute a
vigorous investigation into the manner
of his death and of the whereabouts OF
his body.
The belief appears to be general
among Keefers friends that he met his
death somewhere in Calaveras County,
in the vicinity of the Jupiter Mine, of
which he was Secretary. Mrs c. H.
Davids, sister of the missing man, has
long accepted this theory, and pro-
poses TO institute a careful search for
the remains. The lady has received a
letter from a prominent mining man of
Calaveras County, in which the writer
says that he voices the sentiment of
the entire community of that section
that her brother was murdered. He
expresses confidence that if the old
shafts in the neighborhood of the mine
were carefully searched one of them
would reveal Keefer's body.
The shafts average about go feet in
depth. and contain water at their bot
toms. fact which will necessitate the
use of graphing hooks and much diff
cult work in recovering the remains.

Efforts have been directed by the
Town Council toward the purchase
of the glen, and resolutions passed
by that body were vetoed by the
Burgess as has been reported her e.
tofore in the Press. These resolu-
tions were passed over the veto and
in furtherance of the scheme, what
ever it is, bonds were prepared and
submitted to Burgess Swepenizer for
his approval, who gives below his
reasons for not approving them.
To THE Town COUNCIL OF THE BoR-
OUCH OF MILFORD
GENTLEMEN - / hereby return
bonds proposed to be issued by you
under resolution passed July z, 1897
and statement filed with the clerk
of the quarter sessions of the
County of Pike, July 30, 1897 with
out my approval for the following
reasons, viz: First, have not been
allowed to examine the proposed
deed from Mrs Mott to the Borough
for piece of land about to be pur-
chased, OF the contract mentioned
in the preamble to your said resolu-
tion of July 2, 1897, that ] may be
informed to what extent, or how the
Borough is protected or interested
in said contract. / deem this i'm
portant as from all the information
] now have, no such contract exists,
and the piece of land now to be con-
veyed to the Borough by Mrs. Mott
and to raise the money to pay for
which these bonds are to be issued,
is valueless for any purpose re-
quired by said Borough of Milford
without the balance Of said glen,
and the Borough rights in this con-
tract should be carefully protected
and the attorney for the Borough is
also an attorney for, and a rela-
tive of Mrs. Mott. Second, the
bonds presented TO me are not in
the form as stated in above men
toned statement filed. While 1 re-
gret not being able to comply with
the request of your honorable bod y
1 feel it my privilege to be fully in
formed on the above subject and
satisfied that this entire transaction
is legal and entirely free from trick,
device or fraud, before I can ap-
prove the bonds you desire to issue.

Republicans at Harrisburg.

The convention convened yester-
day but we are unable to give any
ofits proceedings at this time. It
looks as though a resolution would
be introduced to oensure the last
Legislature, for not passing reform
measures, and also one providing
that the Republican voters of the
State vote their preference for
United States Senator at the general
election in November If introduced
and they should be, they should both
be adopted The Republican party
should go to the people on its merits
and so should its cand idates. and
whenever it fails the voters can
rectify their mistakes, and so hold
it and their representatives to a
strict accountability

PIKE Eor Erss Silver

Alta meeting of the Democratic
County Committee held Aug a. q
resolution was presented and una
nimously passed, indorsing the Chi
oago platform and requesting Hon.
j. J. Hart delegate to the State
Convention TO oppose all measures
aud men in opposition to that senti-
ment
The Pass has labored under the
impression that Mr.. Hart would be
Harrity man, and if he is or was
sincerely so, this resolution places
him in direct opposition to a gentle
man who has heretofore been his
friend. OF course we cannot advise
Mr.. Hart under the circumstances,
but it would seem that either the
committee doubted the sincerity of
his free silver advocacy last year,
his attachment to Mr., Harrity, and
the two positions do seem inconsis-
tent and it determined not to trust
him in the convention without in.
struction. We wonder on which
side Mr.. Harts heart really is, and
whether it is on the lef side now.
