JEWELS UNDER HEARTHSTONE
Search for Lost Rings Leads to Curious
Discovery.

RICHMOND, Va. April ia search for
two lost diamond rings in the residence OF
Mrs. Thomas A. Braddock resulted in a
singular discovery.
When the workmen tore up the hearth
they found many jewels. including a yalu-
able ring set with three briIliants. the
existence of which no one in the house
knew. The Braddocks have occupied their
present home since the closing years of
the civil war, and no jewelry correspond
ing with that found today has been lost.
The most plausible explanation is that
the jewelry was hidden on the eve of
Grants entry into the city, and that the
owner was prevented by death or other
causes from returning to claim the vaIu-
ables.
The ring is estimated to be worth sew
eral hundred dollars. An effort is being
made to locate the owner.

Railroad Man Dies Suddenly

+, this afternoon. at his home, u West Fif-
tyfrst Street. from heart disease.
| Ten years ago every railroad man in
| the United States was talking about Mr..
Mcleod, then at the head of the Reading
| Railroad. A year later he resigned and
the Seceivership followed.
Worked His Way Up.
| Mr.. Mcleod was a Canadian, and worked
his way up. He was still young man
when Austin Corbin made him manager
of the Elmira. Cortland and New York
| Railroad. In 1856 Mr.. Corbin was made
president of the Reading and Mcleod was
| made general manager. He improved the
roadbed. the train service, and the gen.
eral character OF the service. and its
profits showed the effects Of his hustlipg.
He built an $S,000,000 terminal station in
Philadelphia and did other things of the
same kind. and while he was doing them
evolved his plan for monopoly of the
anthracite coal business.
Succeeded to Corbin.
LII ioJV SuIDlu BOt out VI pTeSi-
dency and Mcleod succeeded him. Nc
Leod was then forty-r four years old. and
was known as 'the boy railroad presi
dent" He broached his plan for leasing
the Central Railroad of New Jersey and
the Lehigh road to secure large share
Of the coal product and the leasing of the
Poughkeepsie Bridge. the New York ana
New England, and the Boston and Maine
roads to get monopoly of the New Eng
land business.
His plan included, 1t was said at the
time. through line from Boston to Phil
adelphia and another from Philadelphia
to the Pacific. Coal scared in price when
Mcleod put thro Ugh his anthracite COM
bine and the res lit was that he became
one of the most bitterly denounced men
in this country.
Speculations Too Great.
The coal speculations become too great
for the capital of the road at his COM
mand to carry through and the result was
the whole structure that he erected fell
to the ground. 1t was said that the bond
holders of the Reading positively refused
to advance money as long as he was in
control and finally, in April of 1893. be
resigned from the presidency and from
the receivership of the company.
