of the opposing forces. 1t is certain
that Quantrill's men shot every man
captured and every man that surren-
dered except three of the Union
wounded who pretended to be dead
After he had killed his prisoners he
sent flag of truce TO Lieutenant Pond,
asking how many Confederates Pond
held as prisoners. and declaring that IL
Lieutenant Pond properly cared for the
prisoners in his hands Quantrill would
take proper care of the Union prison
ers captured by his own men.
THE CHASTITY impudence of this prop
osition was apparent the next day
when ii was clearly demonstrated that
all the men captured by Quantrill's
men, whether white or colored, soldier
or civilian. had been shot through the
head. some of them half dozen times.
Major Pond and his men naturally felt
very bitterly on this question, and pos
sibly for that reason the subject was
not often discussed with their friends. :"

An International Kite-Flying Contest

The international kite-dying contest ar
ranged under the auspices of the Aero.
nautical Society of Great Britain was
carried out on June 20 upon the Sussex
Downs, near Worthing, and was attend
ed with bat mediocre success, a result
due to the paucity in the number of the
competing apparatus and the atmos-
pheric conditions. The primary object of
the competition was to encourage the
utilization of kites as means Of obtain
ing meteorological knowledge Of the high
er regions of the atmosphere and as y
scheme for solving aerial navigation. or.
at any rate, the obtaining of some in

proved the most efficient, the only stjpu-
lation being that the kite qualifying for
the award must exceed minimum
height OF 1000 feet and remain in the air
for one hour. The results were rather
disappointing. since no remarkable aIti-
tudes were attained by the kites. The
greatest height reached was only a little

SILVER HOARD IN OLD HOUSE.
Dismantlers Find Ancient Coins, Both
American and Foreign

An old Spanish silver coin, with its
date worn off by century or more's use
was found yesterday by workmen who
were tearing down an old building in
Manayunk, and owing to that fact Ii is
probable that the expense of dismantling
the remainder of the structure win be
nominal.
The news of the finding of the ancient
doubloon, the kind that used to be slowed
away in great iron chests in galleons. and
which tempted the raiders of the Spanish
Main to deeds Of violence in the interests
OF modern historical novelists, soon
spread throughout Manayunk In a
short time the laborers found it difficult
to pursue their task, being literally
crowded out by the amateur dismantlers.
Boys of teider age and men f1oeked to
this Eldorado. They helped tear up the
floors and elbowed workmen out ans
sifted the debris like Nome miners
was rewarded by finding various pieces
of money and, the day being warm, the
workmen were glad to have their labor
done vicariously.
The building is the old United States
hotel which was erected more than sew
enty years ago. Only part of it is
being torn down for the purpose of maxi
ing repairs. 1t was found necessary TO
demolish the south part of the hotel, in
which end the ballroom was located
Both American and foreign pieces of
money were found. They ranged in
value from l cent to % cents. Constable
Robert Cine was among the most for
tunate finders. One boy unearthed sew
enty-five coins in a short time. The
coins are supposed to have fallen through
cracks in the barroom floor.
The building was at one time used as
an Odd Fellows hall and a schoolhouse.

DELAY BOND ISSUE
Proposed Plan for City to Raise
100000 Again Deferred.

The proposed issue by the city of
100000 worth of improvement bonds
will take another two weeks sleep.
The assembly committee on streets
was not unanimous on the PROPOSE
ton at its meeting yesterday, and it
was laid over until the next meeting.
Assemblymen Doran and Schumacher
alone voted against the delay
Because of the absence of Assem-
blyman Doran at the last meeting
postponement was taken for the pur-
pose of saving the measure from actual
defeat, but some surprise was ELECTED
yesterday when, with a full commit
tee present, more delay was allowed.
Comptroller Betz, who was present,
wanted the measure either indorsed or
killed. but this was refused Assem-
blyman Van Slyke urged a postpone
ment, and, with this to face, the sup
porters of the bill could do nothing.
The general sentiment seems to be
that the measure will never pass the
assembly because of Republican oppo-
sition, but this Assemblymen Schur-
meier and Rosen. both Republicans,
deny. They say they will vote for it.
