NO TREASURE FOUND.

There have been all kinds of rumors
about the finding of a treasure consist
ing of a ship load of bar silver in the
vicinity of New river. but there seems
to be no truth in the reports. Mr..
Joseph Jennings, the lucky man, ac-
cording to the rumors, says that there
is no truth whatever as to the finding
of anything of value. He admits that
he has discovered an iron ships bot
tom, but nothing but iron and pebble
in it, and ne does not believe that any
thing else will be found. Mr.. Jennings
says that he is satisfied that there lis
nothing in 1t" and regrets that such ex-
aggerated stories should have been
given out. He says that if a single
ounce of silver, to say nothing of 300
tons, has been recovered he knows
nothing of il, and that he would be
pretty apt to know of it If anybody
does. Mr.. Jennings has been keeping
an eye on the beach all along this
coast for the last twelve years in the
hope of finding some of the treasures
which are commonly believed TO have
been buried with some of the many
wrecked vessels. but the good day

HUSBAND GIVES HIS LIFE
TO SAVE HIS WIFE'S.
william VI. Reeves Made the Self
Sacrifice when His Canoe Upset.

From the New York World.
To save his wife William NJ. Reeves
sacrificed his life when their canoe up
set yesterday afternoon off West Nine
ty-sixth street Mrs. Reeves, when she
realized her husbands fate, attempted
to drown herself.
Reeves started out early with his wife
from their home. No. 2O9 West One
Hundred and Fortieth street, for a
trip to see friends at Fort Lee. They
kept their canoe at the foot of West
One Hundred and Eighth street.
Returning in the early afternoon.
they were carried well down steam by
the strong ebb tide, and they made
fast to an anchored schooner yacht off
Nineeieth street, close TO the New
York shore, to rest before fighting their
way up to their landing
When they padded up steam they
found that the tide was a veritable
mill race around the head of the long
pier at Ninety sixth street. ut will be
easier to go under this pier, close in
shore" said Reeves. and they headed
the boat that way.
Under the pier the boat upset."
said Mrs. Reeves i'm telling the story.
MY husband, who was a good SWIM
mer. helped me to the boat and saw
that l had a good hold on it, AS the
boat swept out from under the pier he
disappeared. 1 had 10 anxiety about
him, for l felt that he was able to take
care of himself. But in saving me
he must have exhausted his strength,
or else he deliberately chose to die
rather than endanger me by clinging to
the boat"
A moment later men on Mays boat
landing half a block down, saw the up
set canoe with the woman clinging to
it. By the time Robert Harrington
and Charles Dome had rowed out to
it Mrs. Reeves, faint with fright, was
under water, her Nir alone showing
on the surface.
/ When they had Sdra gged the woman
| into their boat the men rowed up to
the pier to look for her husband.
Il am sure he il not drowned" she
told them. HE cannot be. He has
made his way ashore along the pier
He knew the boat could not hold us
both, and tried to swim to land"
The men found no sign of him. But
the satchel that had held their lunch
and money, and the camera they had
taken along, were found, oddly enough,
afloat under the canoe when it was
righted
When the search was given up the
despair of Mrs. Reeves was terrible
| 10 see she tried TO jump out of the
boat, and her rescuers had to strug-
gle with her all the way back to the
landing to keep her from suicide. All
the while she cried out "Win! Come to
| me! Oh he must be alive!'
From a window in the Hudson apart
ment house, overlooking the scene, Mrs
! Richard Spillane saw the rescue, and
she fastened, down to the river to offer
Mrs. Reeves shelter, clothing and aid
to get to her home and friends. By
! this time the frantic woman could not
remember her own address, nor that
of a sister. who, she said, lived some
where in Thirty-ninth street."
Her rescuers, whom she had told
where she lived, supplied the infor-
nation needed, and she was sent home
4 in a cab.

Goats with Gold Teeth.
From the New York Press.

An American traveller, just back from
Northern Italy, declares that he found
gold in the mountains about the head

obtain certain concessions. ''Those
poor people ought to be rich; they are

that they had to bite up the ground t.

LOWER pension ROLL.

Pension Commissioner J. w. Lindsey
expresses the opinion that the pension
rolls of the state have reached high
water mark, and that there will be a
decrease in the number of pensions
paid from now on, unless the Legisla-
ture should extend the pension law so
as to include additional classes or new
pensioners. The death rate in the diff
ferent classes is from to Z per cent.
annually, and from the applications
which have come in for next year the
indications are that the numbers of
new pensioners to go on the roll will
not exceed, and may fall slightly be-
low the number of deaths. At any
rate, it looks as if an even balance will
be established, which means the turn
ing point.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

The Steamship Iris Back in Savan-
nah HnrbOr Agnin-BrOught Cargo
of Cement from Antwerp-Steam-
boat Pilot Boy Take COIOred Ex-
cursionists to BeaufOrt-Of Inter-
est to shippers.
Believers in the future of Savannah
as a leading naval stores exporting port
find frequent reason for encoura cement
over the outlook. The arrival of the
steamship Iris yesterday from Antwerp
to load naval stores was hailed by them
with satisfaction.
The Iris is one OF Savannah's old
est naval stores traders, and has been
visiting the port for turpentine and ros-
ms for years, until recently, when she
made several trips to Fernandina for
cargo. THIS looked gloomy for local
shipping, and the temporary loss of
the pioneer of the old Antwerp fleet
was deplored. Now that the Iris is
back again is construed favorably by
shipping people, who believe that con-
ditions will yet be such as to bring
both the steamers of the Antwerp fleet
here regularly.
The question seems to be one of get
ting the stuff here for the Antwerp ex-
porIers, for the understanding is they
thoroughly appreciate the facilities af-
forced mere for handling. Another rea-
son why it is probable they want these
steamers to come to Savannah is that
they can frequently bring cement and
other large cargoes to local importers
from Antwerp when coming to Savan-
nah direct whereas if the steamers
must come over in ballast the company
loses this freight. Whether the steam
ers are to come here regularly remains
to be seen, but the indications are that
they may do so.

EMORY FRESHMEN
ELECT OFFICERS.
Outlook Good for Several Fine Foot
ball Teams.

Outlook Good for Several Fine Foot
ball Teams.
Emory College. oxford. Ga. Sept.
2S.-The freshman class held a meet
ing Saturday to select officers of the
class for the coming years.
When it was announced after chapel
exercises that the freshmen desired
class meeting for the purposes named,
the irrepressible sophomores went on
the warpath with the avowed intention
of hindering the freshmen from the ac-
complishment of their work When
the time arrived for the meeting it
was found necessary for the freshmen
TO barrcade the doors and place sem
tinels at the windows to prevent the
entrance of the upper classmen. The
''freshies' were finally triumphant
and succeed in naming the following
officers for the year: Herbert o.
Chambers of Atlanta, duX; William
Hammond Johnson of Gainesville,
prophet; ]. o. Christian of Savannah
historian; William Bonnell of oxford
poet, Sims Heard of CoVington, man.
ager of baseball team; George King,
Jr., of Atlanta, manager of football
team.
Prospects are bright this year for
strong football teams in each class.
Nine of the Junior eleven of last year
are at their posts this year, which
will give the senior team a splendid
nucleus upon which to make the
strongest team in college. The juniors
are weakened by the withdrawal of
Wilson, the star full-back of the COL
lege last year, and Bishop, their heavy
center, who was considered second to
none. The influx of new men into this
class, however, will enable them to
present strong and heavy team.
The sophomore and freshman teams
are unknown quantities, for the ma
Jority of the class are new students.
There are some very likely looking men
In these two classes, and it is safe to
assert that they will have to be reck-
oned with in the race for the college
pennant. Coach Brown has issued a
call for new men who will try for the
various teams to be on the new ath-
letic field this afternoon when active
work win be commenced.
The two literary and debating socie-
ties, Few and Phi Gamma will open
up for active work to-day. There are
some thirty or forty of the new men
who have pledged themselves to ioin
one of the two societies and with this
suspicious beginning there is every
reason for believing that the year will
be marked by great achievements.
