LETTER WRITTEN
BY CAPTAIN KIDD

Letter to a Friend.

Field, Of Providence, R. |.
GENUINENEOS OF LENTER CREDIT

Providence, K. l., Nov. IA letter
200 years old, FROM Captain Kidd, the no.
torious pirate chief, to John Bailey, Esq,
Of New York, which from evidence con-
tanned in it, is believed to he genuine by
those to whom it had become an heirloom,
has been deposited for safe keeping, with
other papers, in the office Of the record
commissioners of this city.
The letter is the property of Edward
Field, clerk Of the municipal court oi
Providence, and historian, a descendant
of the Warner family, which WAS among
the fret to settle in what is now the town
of Warwick. 1t was found among family
papers.
Apparently the communication was
written after the capture of Captain Kidd
1t is dated Boston, l7OO.l, and it says,
in part
II fear ne are in bad situation. We
are taken for pirates, and you must come
to Boston as soon as you get this; there ls
no one can depend upon. i'll do not
see you, will tell you where my money
10 I, il n ~ buried
ON island, in Boston har'
bor on the \ \ island, in two chests,
containing from $1,000 to 10000 pounds
sterling in money, jewels and diamonds
They are buried about four feet deep, with
A fiat stone on them and pile of stone.
There is no one who knows where it is but
me now living. 1t is about
\ up the hill side. Don't fail to
come to me as soon as you get this. fl
am gone to England be there as soon as
possible. Secure the money and diamonds
before you come as money will do great
deal for us"
The letter contains much more matter,
and refers 10 many incidents wich have
been found to be historically correct.
The words which would tell exactly where
the treasure was buried are omitted and
their places are taken by crosses. 1t ls
considered likely that along With the letter
went another writing in which was given
the key to the omitted words.

stroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, and
several persons were injured.
Miss Emily Crump, a stenographer,
employed by the Tower Binford Company
was painfully, if not seriously hurt. She
was in the second story of the building,
when she discovered the fire. She ran to
q Nam street window and leaped for the
oround. In her descent Miss Crump struck
against the iron bars of the awning ana
b,oke her iawbone and hurt one Of her
legs. She was also hurt about the neck
Miss Crump's dash for lie was witness
ed by great crowd of persons from the
street. Many of these rushed to her res
cue the moment she reached the ground
The lady was Immediately carried to the
nearest hospital. AS the young lady ap'
preached the window to take the daring
leap many persons in the crowd below
cried out to her not to jump, tut to wall
10 be rescued. The smoke, however
crowded her so that the young woman die

spread SO rapidly that Clifton could not
make his escape. Surrounded by smoke
the man was so imprisoned that he seemed
doomed to q horrible death. His cries
were heard, though, and he was soon res
cued.

T. Davis, was vulued at $27, 900, and was
insured for $4,000, The total loss' in
cluding stock, is estimated at about SlOo'

caused by the explosion Of chemicals kept
in the basement for electrical purposes.
During the progress of the fire there were
two heavy explosions, attributed to the
fire coming in contact with these chemicals
The fire was witnessed by thousands OF
people, as the scene Of it Was in the heart
of the city and it occurred early in the
afternoon. 1t was reported that colored

In the preamble to their report the
Mexican delegates TO the Pan American

ton. The notable passage deals with the
making of arbitration obligatory. The
report says those who aim vt such an end
forget the teachinge of history, and are
only legislating for ideal societies organ
lzed in superior and different manner to
those now existing. They are not legis'
latng for the present days societies in
which man, while moving under high
aspirations is at times carried away by
passions which disturb and blind him.
The Mexican delegation looks for more
practical results. 1t offers something
more favorable to the intereste of peace
