FIND HIDDEN TREASURE.
spanish Coins Over 100 Years Ola DIS
covered In Florida.

spautbu NotuS oNeT IVV ncUrS oIu DtN.
covered in Florida.
Some negroes engaged recently in re-
moving the coquina walls of an old
Spanish casa that had been demolished
TO make room for II modern structure
found few Spanish doubloons in a
little niche that had been cut into the
wall. The date on one of the coins
showed it to be 100 years old. 1t is sup
posed that the coins were placed in the
hole in the wall during the Seminole
Indian war of half century ago.
Every man was his own banker in those
days. and hid his gold in the walls,
chimneys, under the houses. and those
who believed that ghosts would keep
bad people away hid their gold in the
graveyard. Periodically there is re-
vival of gold hunting, many of the
early settlers believing that the old
town Is rich in gold deposits, and when
ever an old building is to be torn down
many volunteer to work for just what
they can find" Within the past few
years several sums of gold have been
dug up on Anastasia island, opposite
this city, by fishermen. This led to Or
ranized parties, whose prospecting was
guided by visions from clairvoyants,
who can discover fortunes for others,
but not for themselves.
That there is great deal of hidden
treasure in Florida there can be little
doubt, but the secret of the hiding
place died with the Spaniards who
were killed by the ferocious Seminoles
and the pirates who infested this coast
in earlier times.
The crews of wrecked vessels buried
their money along the coast and were
either killed by the hostile Indians or
fled for their lives. In either event,
the treasure remained buried and its
location forgotten or the sailors never
returned.
The stories of hidden treasure on the
coast of Florida and in this ancient
city are not based upon stories of early
Spanish residents, as many lucky finds
will testify. An exploring party, under
the guise Of tourists, recently took
trip down the coast, touching at various
islands and putting in at the inlets, os-
tensibly fishing and hunting. While
this is part of the programme, they are
out more for profit than for pleasure.

IN vast majority of cases the Grim
lnal who has received moro than ono
sentence Is beyond the possibility Of
reform. It Is probable that nearly all
criminals IRE incurable. at least un-
der the methods of the ordinary PEN
itentiary. says Leslie's Weekly. What
the system employed at the Elmira
prison may do II will require longer
time to determine. In any event, the
principle of indeterminate sentences,
il applied under the direction of body
Of enlightened and competent men,
would work no hardship along with
such measure of prison reform as the
conditions warrant. II man Is
doomed to continued Imprisonment, as
the chronic insane are, it is his own
fault or the fault of his inheritance.
Those who have the disposition and
the power to reform can open their
own doors to freedom. The instances
arc many where confirmed criminal
has been released at the expiration of
his term only to commit n murder.
Nearly all such criminals Immediately
renew their former associations and
habits. With the almost positive know-
edge that this will be the case. the
court that determines the sentence
must be conscious of affording only
brief respite to society from the mur-
derous or felonious assaults of the con-
victcd criminals. 1t is doubtful il half
way measures of reform in this mat
ter are of any value. AS long as the
change in the law means only the con-
ditional release of exceptional convicts
selected by the courts there is not like
ly to be the same machinery for learn
ing the condition of the convicts that
we should have If all sentences were
without term. The failure of condition
al release, or, If not its absolute failure.
its inability to show any striking re-
suits, is calculated to lessen the chances
of the adoption of complete system
based on scientific study of the sub
ject. According TO one paper read dur
ing the exhibition, the penal code of
Italy is intended to inflict rigorous inn
prisonment only on the incurably Vi
cious. This is reasonable distinction
between chronic criminals and those
who may be regarded as rcformable
and is first step toward the perpet-
ual seclusion of the incurablcs. The
idea should be less shocking in the
case of the criminal than in the case of
the lunatic, unless we regard them both
as the unhappy victims of an inherit
ance they cannot escape.

ARMoRY NOTES.

The armory was very quiet last night and furnished no indications that the country was at war. The volunteer company of the Foot Guards held their usual evening drill There were about fifty in line. The men were much pleased with the new campaign hats, which were distributed during the even ing.
 The Horse Guards held their usual weekly meeting. The men were silent when asked about the division in the company. They refused to give out de- tails, saying that nothing decisive had been done in regard to the matter. The date of their outing has not been de- cided upon yet. It will take place prob- ably about the middle of August.
 The Blues will enjoy an outing next Sunday on Browns farm, in the town of Milford. The company will not go in a body, but as civilians. It is ex- pected that a majority of the company will take advantage of a pleasant day in the country.

PLACED UNDER $1,0O0 BONDS,

Thomas A. Snyder Arrested Charged
 With Assault on Lillie Brockman.
 Thomas A. Snyder, who keeps a res- taurant at IA Dixwell avenue, was ar- rested last night by Policeman Kober on warrant charging assault upon a girl named Lillie Brockman, living at 4S6 Columbus avenue. It is alleged in the warrant that the assault occurred on the evening of July in Edgewood park; that night being the night of the celebration of the opening of the new Ninth ward engine houe. Snyder is a married man and has no children. He was held under s1,000 bonds and no bondsman had been secured up to 1 o'clock this morning. It is probable that to-day the charge against him will be changed to one more serious than assault It seems that the Brockman girl worked for about two weeks as a waitress in Snyder's restaurant, leav- ing there about seven weeks ago. Sny- der stated last night that when the girl came to work for him she said she was eighteen years old. He said that he met her at the Ninth ward celebration but denies the charge of assault. He said that Q few days ago he received a letter from friends of the girl demand ing money and that when he refused to comply with the demand alis arrest was caused.

Y. M. c. A. CAMP.

The meeting at the Y. M. c. A. last night of the fellows interested in a summer camp was attended by crowd of enthusiastic fellows eager to make the camp a success. It was decided that a week from, August to the 13th should be spent at Madison, where 1t is possible to have a most agreeable vacation. Instead of camping out, as usual, a large building near the hotel will be secured, where the fellows can sleep and loaf. All the meals will be served at the hotel, thus doing away with the trouble of preparing and cooking food.
 One of the secretaries will be in charge of the camp. All this can be secured at the small rate of $450 a week. The names of thirteen who have decided to go were secured dur ing the evening and as many if not more are expected before the next meeting, which is to be held Friday evening. Then further details will be discussed and all the arrangements completed. After the meeting last night the boys sent out and bought @ gallon of ice cream and held one of their frequent sociables.

New York, July 25.--There were some price movements of considerable inn portance in special stocks to-day, but the effect on the general list was only slight The early heavness in the rail- road stocks was to some extent cor rected and the level of prices generally brought back above Saturdays close. Outside of the special cases referred to, however, the price movement was in- significant and no large demand for stocks was perceptible. The most con- spicuous stock in the days trading was Sugar, in which there was heavy buy ing, and prices advanced rapidly under vigorous manipulation. There was no news forthcoming to account. for the rise so far as the prospects of the com pany are concerned, the outlook contin- uing, as far as known, the same as when the recent large short interest was formed The marking up of the stock is attributed to powerful pool, which has set about gunning for shorts. The combination apparently had pretty good success to-day and forced some large covering orders in the course of the A points advance.
 Some of the industrial stocks which have recently been the objects of bear attacks sympathiz in this rise, Peo- ples Gas and Tobacco rising over one point. The coalers presented their own particular inducement for shorts to cover in the announcement that Lack awanna had restored the one dollar cut in the price of anthracite at Chicago, which was the occasion of the recent bear raid against these stocks Gains of one to three points resulted all through the group.
 Chicago Great Western preferred A and E continued to rise an the author ized announcement of an impending dividend each gaining two points. The common stock was also up fraction. Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville preferred advanced over two points, American Express rose two points, Ad- ans Express and Manitoba one The days trading resulted in largely reduc- ing the outstanding short interest with out arousing any outside inquiry for
 
 stocks.
 Bonds came to a halt again to-day, the Northern Pacific threes being the only issue to show conspicuous activity The governments withdrawal of depos- it's from the banks has somewhat re- duced the available supply of money but the demand continues so lax as to leave rates unaffected. The total sales were $3,335,000
 The new government threes were quoted on call at the bard at 104h@% when issued and for the small bonds which are now being issued, 104@h. United States fives declined A in the bid price,
