Brunswick. Me, Dec. 2..--In spite OF
their attempt to keep the matter Il
secret it became known, today. that a
party of four we'l-known Brunswick
gunncrs have discovered small
amount If hidden money, which is be
'ieved to have been concealed early in
the last century by one of the pirates
who made their headquarters in these
I.arts.
The money. of which there were 81
pieces found. bears dates in the latter
rart Of the 18th century. The latest
date is 1906.
The way in which the money was
found is curious. These four g,inners
were hot on the trail Of !, fox. He took
tp his hole and the gunners at once set
10 work to dig him out. Rcynard had
chosen for his home II place about
three miles from the village. near the
SEA coast. II was removed from any
buildings and in II place rarely FREE
uuented. After the gunnerS had dug
III several feet. one of them struck a
curiously shaped stone. which. on eX-
4 imination. was found to be an Indian
stone ha.chct without. IL handle. bur
with a groove around il for the handle.
''ne edge WAS quite sharp, but the
other was shaped like Il maui. a short
distance from the hatchct an iron re-
rertaclc was found. II was shaped like
Il tin can. only i, was longer than the
can. This was broken open
,ri found to contain the coins mem
toned above.
This find has aroused Il great deal "f
interest, as many searching parties for
The treasure. which tradition has it is
hidden around the shores of Merry
meeting and CascO bays. have spent
nany weary hours in the vicinity, but
their labors have generally been un-
successful. The reason for keeping the
affair a secret is that the men interest
ed believe there is more treasure in
The vicinity. and they intend to give
the place careful search in the near
future.

A FAIRY TALE.
And There Is No Santa Claus
in the Story.
Capt. Kidd Is Not Mentioned, Though
Hidden Treasure Comes In.
And Ytu Can Solve N; sterj in Way v hich Best
Suits You.

The following interesting yarn Is re-
printed from the Globe, because the
second story on the same subject from
the Herald will not endanger the first:
Brunswick, Me. Dec. 22.--A much
discussed question Is. Have Bruns-
wick gunners discovered the hiding
place Of some sea rover or pirate?''
Many think they have, and 1t is prob
able that during the coming week sew
cral parties will start on a hunt for
hidden treasure
Last week several cunning parties
wer" out for foxes. One Of these par
ties, in which were four wcil-known 10
cal Euoners, started fox. After a hot
chase. he made for his hole. The hunt
ers at once started to dig him out. Az
ter goinT some distance. one of the
party struck something hard. At first
h.. thought that il was rock. hut on
examination II was found To be a metal
can
The can was about Is inches long and
1 inches in diameter. looking much like
a weight from an old-fashioned clock.
II was heavy and something could he
heard inside when II was vigorously
shaken. Without much difficulty Vie
can was broken open. and several
handfulS of coins rolled out.
All thought vi the fox we're forgotten.
The interest of all four being centercd
on their discovery. The can was prob
ably of thin-roled iron. although il
could not be positively determined, AZ
it WAS greatly rustcd and corroded. But
even greater interest was SHOWN in the
coins, OF which there We're several
handfuls. Even today the value is not
known. Many of the coins were so
badly rorroded that they have not yet
been separated.
Several of them that have been clean
ed show by their dates that the money
was hidden early in the last century.
There is one copper cent in the lot. on
which the date is 119i, and half-cent
dated 1906. That is the latest date yet
found. In all there were 81 OF the
coins. which seem to be from United
States mints.
The place where the coins We're found
is still a mystery. II is known that the
place where the money was found is
about three miles from the village near
"Wednesday the four gunners. with
| one or two friends. are going to give
the territory n careful search for signs
Of more hidden wealth. But the ques-
tion that aroused the greatest interest
is: How did the money come there 1t
was found at n place near which no
houses are known to have been situat-
ed and a place where no one would b..
likely 10 look for treasures.
This coast is known tn have been the
rendezvous for numerous privateers.
Nearly all the islands in Merrymeeting
bay and tn. al dJoining coasts are
honeycombed with holes where search
, erS for the treasure have spent many
weary hours. 1t is thought that this
money was hidden ~ one Of these
bands of pirates.
\ stone hatchet. possibly of Indian
make. was found with the can. The
head is round and shaped like mallet
being three or four inches. The edge
is fairly sharp. There is no handle to
the AK. but groove is cut in the stone
near the head. which would serve to
hold the kind Of handles used with

2s PERSONS PERIsHED.
Victims of the Wreck of the Steamer
 City of Trenton.

Philadelphia, Aug. 30.-It is now rea- sonably certain that at least twenty eight persons perished as a result of the explosion of one of the boilers of the steamer City of Trenton on the Delaware River above this city on Wednesday afternoon. This conclusion is reached by the police authorities through the fact that seventeen per- sons, who are reported by their rela tives or friends to have been on the steamer have not yet been found. These missing persons. with eleven bodies al- ready recovered. make total of twen- ty-eight. Ten persons are still h A serious condition as result of the dis a6ter. of whom four are in a critical condition and may die.
 Three persons who were reported hv relatives as missing turned up duyIaR the day They are: William LossOnof Hulmeville. Pa, who was injured in the accident and immediately went to his home, and MT. and Mrs. Frank Albert of Camden, N. J.

THE MAcHIAs HEAh-. FROM.
Commander of the Gunboat Says All
 is Quiet.

Washington, Aug. BOA cablegram was received at the Navy Department today from Commander Sargent of the Machiag at Colon, reporting that mat tery there are very quiet. His cable gram also indicates belief on his part that the revolutionary disturbances, in that section of Colombia, at least, have practically been suppressed.
 The Sate Department has been fore warned of the circulation of reports or revolutionary troubles in Ecuador in report from Minister Sampson at Quito. This came by mail so that it is six weeks old and the predictions of the Minister have already been verified. These were to the effect that. owing to the impending national election in Ecu ador slight disturb rba nces might be ex- pected in various sections, which would by report be magnified into revolution ary moveemntc, but they were not to bs seriously regarded.
 The following is the text of Captain Sargent's cablegram, which is dated Colon, August 29:
 q have visited Panama and Colon. The most authoritative results of in- vestigation give me the following in- formations: There is no appearance of an organized insurgent force in the vi- cinity of the railway. Free and unin- terrupted transit obtains with every prospect of continuance. Rumor is un- founded that United States property is in need of assistanceA All quiet here. More reassuring than when We start ed

TWO MORE CONVICTED
STRENGTH AND FULLER ARE
 FOUND GUILTY.
Each Sentenced to the Penitentiary for Ten Years for Complicity ir the Lynching of
 Robert White

Wetumpka. Aug. 30.-(Special. )--The case against John Strength and Martin Fuller terminated last night about 12 diet of murder in the second degree and fixing their punishment at impris- onment in the penitentiary fo, ten years
 The entire afternoon was taken up by the counsel in ably arguing the case. Judge Denson finished his charge at o'clock and the jury retired and returned the verdict above noted
 The case of John Thomas, the man with whom the negroes had the diffi- culty which led to the lynching of Rob- ert White, was called this morning. The defense made a strenuous effort for continuance. claiming the absence of four important witnesses, two of same offense, and who are still at large. The other two witnesses were found and the defense was commanded to proceed with the trial.
 At 12 o'clock. when court ad- journed for dinner. the special venire had been exhausted. and only seven jurors selected. The court ordered the sheriff to summon twelve talesmen for this afternoon.
 The case is desperate one, and every point is being vigorously fought by Colonel Thomas F. Bulger. Colonel Lackey and H. R. Gohlson, counsel for the defense. .-
 Exception was taken to the courts allowing the State to challenge for cause a juror who was related to MT. Will Still, under indictment and ar rest for the same offense
 Interest in the cases does not abate in the least. The town Is filled with people from all portions of the county, and the court house is packed to suf- location.
 At o'clock the panel was completed after much difficulty. and the case was presented to the jury. As this case is likely to consume the balance of the week-the term of this special court Judge Denson continued the other eases and discharged the special and other iurors not in the Thomas case
