SILVER VEIN FOUND.
Years Ago the Ore Had Been Used
for Taking Bad rloney--The Mine
TO he Worked.

CUMBERLAND, MD, March 2r.--The
discovery on mountain in Berkeley
county, w. Va, OF a cavern contain
ing mining tools, smelling pots. tnolds,
etc, brings to light hidden silver
mine, the facts of which read like a
romance.
About the early '4os two men living
in Berkeley county would frequently
absent themselves from the commu-
nifty and remain away for days at a
time. Their actions did not excite
suspicion and whatever were their OPP
erations they were allowed to pursue
them without investigation. 1t was
not long, however, until spurious coin
made its appearance in Cumberland
and the surrounding territory. The
two men were not suspected until one
of them was arrested in this city TO,
passing counterfeit money. The man
was tried on the charge, convicted and
sent to the penitentiary.
Soon after his conviction his COM
panion left the country, but returned
Just prior to his death. The secret
would have died with him. had not
an old mau, Jacob Horden, called his
IS On to his side one day and after i'm
pressing him to the deepest secrecy,
told him where the mint was located.
Horden had by accident stumbled
upon the secret. He extracted a
promise from his son to retain the
|secret until after his death.
The son faithfully adhered to the
promise. About two years ago, after
the death of his father, in company
with two Others sworn to secrecy, he
visited the place, and following the
directions found the mint and the vein
OF silver ore. Still there was fear
that he would be looked upon as an
accomplice. and it was not until few
days ago that the secret became a
source of worry to the man, and he
confded it to a prominent citizen,
who assured him that he would incur
no trouble in making the place of the
hidden treasure known, which he has
promised to do.

FROM SAN FRANCISCO
Comes the News That for Catarrh
no Remedy is SO Beneficial as
pe.ru-na.

Hon. William A. Deane, clerk oil
the city and county Of San Francisco,
is an exceptionally popular young
man, socially and politically. In a
letter written Jan. 20, 1899, from San
Francisco. to DIR. Hartman, Mr..
Deane has the following to say OF Pc
ru-rla:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co.
Gentlemen: would not be with
out Pe-ru-na, as / have found it to be
the best remedy for catarrhal com.
plants that have ever used. have
tried most all of the so-called catarrh
remedies advertised, and can conscien-
tiously say that of all the remedies for
catarrhal complaints recommended to
me none have been so beneficial as
Pe-ru-na." VIM. A. Deane.
The spring time is the most favora.
bic time to treat catanh. There is
so much less liability to take fresh
cold that the treatment is unimpeded.
All old cases of chronic catarrh should
begin Immediately course of Peru
ma, as directed in DIR. Hartman's
books on this disease. There are SO
many different phases and stages of
catarrh that one hardly knows when
he has it. A great many people
think they are suffering from some
thing else and have tried many medi-
cines in vain. when if they could
realize that it is catarrh and take Pc
ru-na, for it they would improve
promptly and soon recover entirely.
There are no substitutes. Let no one
persuade you there are other catarrh
remediesIjust asigood.

SUPERVISORS WILL ELECT.
Justice Davis Successor to |
Named by Them,

In answer to the many inquiries that
have been made regarding the manner
Of filing the vacancy caused by the
death of City Justice of the Peace
George G. Davis, it may be said that
the appointment lies with the Board of
Supervisors.
Township Justices have no jurisdic-
ton of cases arising under city ordi-
nances, and until Justice Davis suc-
cessor is appointed the usual police
cases must go untried except such as
may be prosecuted under the general
laws.
Township Justice Henry officiated for
Justice Davis before the latter's de-
mise, but as his authority to do so was
derived from Justice Davis, and the
latter has been removed by death, JUS
tice Henrys authority in that respect
has ceased, with the exception, as
stated, that he can try cases outside of
those governed by city ordinances
A number of friends of Win. J. Davis
have urged him to apply to the Su-
pervisors for the appointment. Mr..
Davis said yesterday that he had not
determined whether or not he would
do so. He thought he would like the
Office, but did not like to enage in a
scramble for it.
The Supervisors are to meet on Mon
day. and no doubt they will then elect
some one to fill the vacancy.

THAT M'GREGOR ROBBERY.
NURSE ROBERT MITCHELL
UNDER SUSPICION.
Now In Jail-The Story Told by
Him Has Several Very
Strange Features.

Robert Mitchell, the nurse who said
he was ait the home Of James McGregDr
when the house at 1915 Fourth street,
was robbed of $495 at an early hour
yesterday morning, was locked up last
night by order Of Chief Dwyer, on sus>
picion of having stolen the money.
Mitchells story was to the effect that
a burglar raised a large window and
ordered him to make no disturbance,
after which the bold desperate ram
sacked the bureau, where he found two
purses which contained the $495.
Mitchell says he himself was relieved
of $50.
According to the story of the nurse
the first robber was assisted by sec
ond, who stood guard while the job was
being done. The money was carried
away in valise that was taken from
the house.
Before 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Sergeant Do1an, with Officers Fitz-
gerald, Fisher and Maley searched the
highways and byways adjacent to the
property. They found no wagon tracks
and no satchel or other evidences that
the robbers had cast any of their plum
der aside.
Two hours later a valise (Which
Mitchell says the robbers carried away
was found near the place that had been
searched
Mitchell said the men got into their
wagon and drove hurriedly away before
they opened the valise. The police are
wondering why they came back to leave
the open valise near the scene Of their
crime. Mitchell says he cannot explain
their conduct.
I'VE intend tc hold Mitchell on sus-
picion,'' said the Chief land to look up
his record. He was once a nurse ait
the Railroad Hospital. He says he
might recognize the robbers, and that
he would be glad to testify against
them
The feature Of the case that puzzles
the police is that the window which
Mitchell says was raised contains shut
ters, and it is claimed that a man
from the outside cannot raise the VIM
dow while the shutters are closed.
