and believed he was the only one of his
crew saved. Subsequent events, however.
showed that he was mistaken.
After short stay in New York CAPTAIN
Bell moved to Thomasvile, Ga, and lived
there a number of years. using the same
assumed name he had used when picked
up after the wreck. Each year during his
stay in Townsville he would mysteriously
disappear for month or two and each
time on his return he would have large
quantities Of gold. About thirty or forty
years ago Captain Bell died, but before his
demise he impaired to Mr.. Miller, with
whom he boarded, the startling information
that he was Captain Bell the ex-pirate
and that he had buried on one of the is
lands Off The coast of Florida $3.50 900 of
Spanish gold coin and 81 100000 worth of
gold bars, besides numerous diamonds etc
He furnished Mr.. Miller with maps and
charts to show the island and the spot
where the treasure was buried
Mr. Miller was poor man and could not
mt up an expedition to go in search for the
treasure, but for years he Cherished his
secret, hoping some day to be able to raise
the money. About fifteen years ago he
visited relatives at Tennille and while there
interested Colonel Langmade one of the
prominent and wealthy men of Washington
county, in the venture Colonel LanRmade
and Miller made several visits to the group
CT islands, one Of which was supposed to
contain the treasure. but were never sue
cessful, and the great disappointment is
said to have been largely because of Col
Langmade's death. The maps and charts
are now In possession Of the present expe-
dition.

wanted to kill the bill. He thought that
such a university would be political in
stitution and believed that the running
of an educational institution properly be-
longed to enterprises that should be rele-
gated to private control.
Senator Nelson said that while he voted
against the bill in committee in the last
Congress, he did so because he did not
believe the time was proper for the estab-
lishment Of such an institution by the
United StateA He was not prepared to
say whether he would vote for or against
it when it again came before the COM
mittee.
Senator Walthall, who wrote the mi
nority report when the bill was reported
to the Senate in the last Congress. is as
strongly opposed to the measure now as
he ever was. He said he did not wish
to see such bill passed, because he be-
lieved it to be an improper one. and would
do all he could to defeat 1T.
Senator Clay said he had not examined
the measure with the care he proposed 20
devote to it during the next two weeks,
but he thought it tended to GENERALIZATION
and provided that the federal government
do something that more properly belonged
to the states, and for that reason was
inclined to look with disfavor upon 1t.
He was not prepared to say, however,
what his vote on the measure would be.

From the Buffalo Express.
A party of twenty-five of the most promi

in a special car over the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad the other day for Key
West. where they have chartered a vessel
to take them NARROWING among the islands
off the coast of Florida, in search of gold.
The party is headed by Capt. George w.
Peacock one of the leading men OF WASH
ington county, and a man of prominence
throughout the state. Among the others
are ex-Mayor Harmon and Cashier McCrea-
~ Of the Tennille Bank
The party Is well organized and every
possible detail, for the trip has been made.
Cooks have been employed, provisions pur-
chased. medicine chests prepared. and, In
fact, nothing has been overlooked that
would add to the success OF the expedition
or comfort of those engaged in 1t. For
safety a number Of Winchester rifles and
other firearms and ammunition have been
provided. The party is equipped to spend
several months among the islands
The fortune the expedition Is seeking Is
supposed to have been buried on one of the
islands OF the coast of Florida by one Capt.
Bell, a pirate king who was a terror on the
high seas and on the gulf In days gone by
He seems to have been. according to tradi-

WINsTON's BAD RECORD.
Police Learn Of Several Crimes
Charged Against Him.

Charged Against Him.
Charles Winston's alleged good name
and record faded completely out of sight
when Sergeant Daley made a further in
yestigation concerning him. The murder
of his wife Monday morning was the last
of several serious offenses committed by
him, 50 the police learned, and his good
reputation was enjoyed only among those
who did not know lin. In 1898. Sergeant
Daley learned. Winston was arrested on a
charge of having attempted to murder
a man named Dan Wallace, and for this
he was sentenced to the penitentiary. Some
time after his return from prison he was
arrested for threatening his wife's life, and
the judge Of the Police Court gave him a
sentence of sixty days in Jail. Later on he
ives again arrested, but was acquitted.
When Sergeant Daley had learned Of this
record ne made additional inquiries con-
cerniIg the mans conduct during recent
months, and learned from relatives that
he had frequently made threats against
his wife's life.
Policeman Nicholson. who was the first
enc to enter the room after the shooting
found the man partly on the bed beside
the dead body of his wife and partly on
the floor. His head was bent over In such
a manner that lie could scarcely breathe
and the officer believes he would have died
had he remained In that position much
lor ger.
During the Investigation the police
searched the room at No. 521 Sd Street
southwest in which the double crime was
committed, anc found q loaded revolver
that had been hidden by Mrs. Winston.
who is supposed to have put 1t away be-
cause she feared her husband might use it
on her. The finding Of this weapon con-
WINGED the officers that Winston went home
Monday for the purpose of killing his wife.
They think he must have bought or bor-
rowed the revolver he used, for they 90 not
believe that two weapons were kept In the
house by the WinstoEs.
1t was stated this morning at the hos
pital that Winston's condition was much
improved. and the physicians expressed the
belief that he will recover. Tine patient was
visited yesterday by the Rev. w. j. How
ard, who was the woman's pastor. and to
him the alleged murderer said that he kill
ed his wife because she was on too init
mate terms with a piano player In the
Division where she worked. The wo-
mans pastor said to q Star reporter that
the murder was committed because the
woman refused to give all her earnings to
her husband.

Fifteen times was Mrs. Jonas the happy

band, and at his death was in her seventy
seventh year. From investigations made by
DIR. Cory of ST. Thomas Hospital, IL ap-
pears that the tendency to give birth 10
twins frequently runs in certain families
and out Of seventeen cases he found that
in thirteen there had been previous births
OF twins among near relatives of either the
father or the mother. One case of a fam
lily was recorded by another doctor which

McClain weighs 1870 pounds.
Doctors were called to set the bones. The
small one knitted all right, but the large
one didn't, and made necessary serious
operation. The surgeons called at her
ends OF the bone to make them smooth and
fitted them together again; but. being
smooth, they would not stay fitted.
