FOUND A BURIED FORTUNE.
NEGRO.PHOSPHATE WORKERS.DIG
UP $50, 900 IN GOLD.
One Negro Disappears With the Treasure,
Subsequently Telling His Pal That
He Had Lost 1t,

He Had LOstIt,
A special from Augusta says that a
chest of gold coin has been found at the
phosphate works at Pom Pom, S. c.,
which is estimated to have contained
about $4,000. Mr.. Chas. s. Heard, su-
perintendant of the works, has the chest,
but the gold was spirited away by the
finders before Mrs.. Heard or any Of the
managers could get sight Of it.
Recently two negro men were digging
for phosphate, and unearthed the metal
chest. They agreed to share it, and one
of them undertook to carry away the
gold while the other watched that no
one should catch them. The party who
took the gold off subsequently told his
partner that he had put it in a bag aud
had buried it in the river, and that he
was now unable to find it., The second
party does not believe it, and at once
reported the matter to MI Heard and
brought him the chest from which the
gold had been taken.
This negro says he was betrayed by
the first negro, who has the gold in
safe plsce somewhere. He told MT.
Heard that the other negro had put the
coin in water pail, and THAT it almost
filled it, The coins were as large as sill
yer dollars, and were all gold. The pail
containing the money was 50 heavy that
the sturdy negro could hardly lift it.
The man who found it was arrested
and told the authorities the same tale
about the money being in the river, but
this is not believed.
8There are about twelve hundred ne
grces working on the phosphate works.
and they are very much agitated over
the find. Mr.. heard estimates the coin
as worth about $4,000. He arrived al
the estimate by the size OF the chest and
the information cot from the negro who
failed to get his share.

HOUSE WORK ADVANCED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-It is now
probable that the treaty Of peace will be
taken up for discussion by the senate
early in January. Already there is talk
Of the possibility of disposing Of the
treaty during the present session and
the impression favorable to the result is
growing. A few senators manifested a
disposition to debate the subject at
length and some expressed undivided
opposition, but the feeling is strong
against an extra session and in favor of
the postponement of the settlement Of
the disposition of the Philippines after
they come into our possession that it
now seems that even the minority will
consent to the treaty's ratification with
out material delay.
VIII Reply to Senator Vest.
Tho debate in the senate will be
opened with q speech by Senator Plat
Of Connecticut on the question Of ex-
pansion. Mr.. Platt will reply to the
speech Of Senator Vest made last Mon
day, and, as he has given much attention
tothe extension Of our territorial area, no
little interest is manifest among sena-
tors in his presentation Of the matter.
It is not improbable, unless the Mica
raguan canal bill prevents, that the
speech will -precipitate . more or less
general debate upon this question:
Whether It does or not, number of
speeches on the same subject will be
made after the Christmas holidays,
preparatory to the consideration of the
peace treaty.

That Argus Man.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I found him. He
has awoke from his Rip Van Winkle
slumbers and been minting now words,
1 suppose to use in the completion of
his great history of Platte county. We
have often heard Of contortions, but his
kind of contortions have never before
met our gaze. That Argus man is not
only great historian but he is also a
mathematician. He has figured out to
q cent the space occupied in THE JOUR-
NAL. A hit goose always squawks. He
donated enough of his valuable time to
figure out the loss to The JOURNAL.
He surely will be afflicted with en-
largement Of the heart for he squandered
fifty cents worth of space in the columns
of the Argus to get his new word before
the people. I suppose this is part of q
new language which he wishes to hand
down to his posterity. We all know
they will appreciate something from q
historical parent. The Argus man says
Prehistoric Georges article contains
nothing OF interest to anyone; it seems
that Mr.. Nobody took the time to
read it.

The Omaha Bees Lincoln correspond
ence of yesterday has this paragraph,
following some other matters touching
the views of the gOvernor-elect:
1T is not known what view Poynter
takes OF the matter and the governor
elect is not expressing himself very
freely on any subject since the announce
ment of his appointment Of Fred Jewell
as his private secretary. This appoint
ment is not giving satisfaction to the
fusion leaders for several reasons. The
principal reason is that there we're many
other applicants for the place, although
the selection ia criticised because Jewell
has already received several good re-
wards, said to be far beyond any polit-
ical services he ever performed. These
criticisms are perfectly natural. coming
as they do mainly from place-hunters,
but the matter is causing the new gov
ernor a good deal Of worriment."
