the City of Panama. The free
hooters did not use the Spanish
highway, which was guarded by
forts, but plunged into the jungle
and struggled through it as best
they might. Ragged and almost
starving, they reached the Pacific
coast and hurled themselves upon
the city. The defense was weak
and yielded speedily under the
ferocity of the buccaneers attack.
For weeks the victors gave them
selves up to the csrodsal and pill
lage which attended every success
Then, carrying with them more
than S4,00O,O0O in treasure and
hundreds of prisoners, they re-
turned as they had come and
reached their waiting ships i'm
safety.
Then began one of the most
grimly humorous chapters in the
history of buccaneering. Morgan
contrived to have the greater part
of the treasure slowed in his own
ship, on board which were his own
friends. At an opportune moment
he hoisted sail and abandoned his
former comrades. Maddened by
this treachery, the other pirates
attempted to pursue in the remain
ing vessels, only to find that they
had been scuttled by the thought
full Morgan. There was nothing
for them to do but to make their
escape overland. Only in the
superior numbers involved in Ma
pOleOn's retreat from Moscow was
the plight of the French army
more terrible than that of these
pirates. A mere handful finally
won clear. The others either per-
ished from fever in the wilderness,
were devoured by wild animals,
or fell into the hands of the Span
ish settlers and Indians, who made
short but horrible work of them.
In the meantime Morgan reached.
England. where his prowess com
handed the respect always due tn
success. Indeed. so well was he
thought of that he was made a
Judge and sent back to Jamaica,
there to eXpOund the law. 1t is a
historical fact that he tried and
passed sentence on many of his
former and piratical associates,
whom he RECALLED with edifying
lectures on the evils of buccaaneer-
ing as a profession. No wonder
Morgan has won immortality. Cut
throat as he was, the old buccaneel
served England almost as well as
Drake or Raleigh. All three Of
these distinguished adventurer,
were playing the game of empire
imperfectly though they may have
recognized it. Free from theil
prosecutions, Spain might hav,
wiped out the English colonies t.
the north, and held undisputeC
mastery of the continent for another
century. Let others cast a stone
on the memory of Morgan, tn,

LOCAL OPTION In DANYILLR.

Mr.. +. G. Mosely, of Danville,
a well-known business man of that
city, has written a letter TO the
Richmond Times-Dispatch oppos-
ing the views recently expressed
by Rev. j. Cleveland Hall, and
which were quoted from in last
weeks COURIER. We extract from
Mr.. Mosely's letter.
Many men of good financial
foresight honestly believed that it
would not be to the best material
interest of our city to vote out the
saloons, but the facts and figures
as presented by Rev. Mr.. Hall in
his discourse on the subject very
clearly demonstrates the fact that
the city had suffered no financial
loss: but rather is a gamer in this
important matter; but deplores the
moral condition of affairs in our
city.
Now, this is sad news to large
majority of our citizens. including
the officers of the law. who say to
me they are certainly not in pos
session of any such information,

conclusions; and that no definite

contract of insurance, if the offer had
not been made. Nor that the company
could have supposed in making this
offer, that it was attempting to settle a
doubtful claim. That the company and
its agent must have known that no
claim could be enforced against it, and
that there was no danger Of its being
involved in litigation. That there is no
suggestion in any of the correspond
cnce that this was an offer of compro-
mise, but that the whole correspond
ence shows that the agent was endeav-
oring to get the company to pay the
loss, Notwithstanding there was no La
bility, and that the offer made by the
company was not to pay a sum of
money for the sake of settling a claim
about which there was any question
or doubt, but to pay the full cash value
of the property destroyed according to
its estimate Of such value.
For these reasons the case does not
come within the limitations of the rule
above stated, that the parties must at

doubt as to the validity of the claim
and the action cannot be maintained
because there was no consideration for
the promise sued.

MURDER FEARED.
Two Arrests at New York in a
"SuiCide" Case.
Hirsch Ciesman Found Dead, Thought
to Have Been Murdered.
Instead of Being a Suicide-JeaIousy
Perhaps the Cause.

New York, May 1S.-Two men have
been arrested by order of Coroner Gold
enkranZ, in connection with the death
of Hirsch Ciesman, a baker, who was
at first supposed to have committed
suicide. Ciesman's body was found in
the cellar of a building on LIST street
used as a bakeshop. Around the neck
was a rope, which was attached to Il
gas fixture. The body was in an erect
attitude and the foot rested squarely
upon the floor If Ciesman took his own
life by strangulation he must nave
thrown his weight upon the rope by
drawing up his knees. His neck was
not broken, although there were sew
eral scratches upon it.
On the mans head was a fantastic
covering. A bandage had been drawn
tightly over the, forehead, crossed at
the back of the neck and then brought
around under the chin and securely
knotted Over the face was woman's
veil of light gray color and about the
head was a covering of green mosqui-
to netting The body was maltreated
in such a way as to indicate that some
one wrought upon it a savage VEN
geance.
Ciesman was employed by the owner
of the bakery. He had been second
man at the shop until two months ago,
when the first baker, Louis GaVora, was
taken i'll and was obliged to go to a
hospital Ciesman then became the first
baker and Holman Jones was employ
ed as his helper. Gavora came back
in few days and tried to get his old
position, but he was unable to do so.
The coroner had been Informed that
Gavora had made threats against Cies-
man.
