Veteran Bernard Brady, of lis north Payne
street, says Ever since | left the army
have had attacks of dull disagreeable aching
across my loins and feeling Of listlessness
and uneasiness akin TO nervousness which
prevented me from remaining long in one
position. When these attacks were at their
height at night was constantly twisting and
turning in bed and as a consequence arose
in the morning utterly devoid of energy. II

Digs Up Treasure.

Savannah, Ga, July 2O.-It is report
ed that w. w. Haslip, the Philadelphia
treasure seeker, has found the gold and
silver which was buried on Warsaw Is
land off the Georgia coast, during the
civil war by Confederate blockade run
ner to escape capture by Federal ship.
The treasure amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars and Haslip was yester~
day making arrangements for the trans
portation of his find. He would not
admit that he had found the money, but
he bought lot of canvas bags and made
other purchases which indicated that he
had bullion to transport. Haslip has
been on the island digging for the treas
ure for more than a week. He obtained
the secret of the treasure from Amos Ber-
rien, who was first mate on the Confed-
crate blockade runner Lucy Verne, which
sailed out of Baltimore for Charleston car
rying large sums in silver and gold.
The treasure belonged to the Starke
family of Baltimore. Chased by Federal
ship, the captain of the blockade runner,
fearing capture, buried the treasure on
Warsaw Island, where it remained until
dug up by Haslip. The island is owned
by George Parsons, wealthy New
Yorker, and it is possible that he may
claim the treasure.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

widens every day, and more men are APP
plying for their old positions. So conf
dent are the Passenger and Power Com
pany officials of getting back the best Of
their former employees that they have
ceased hiring inexperienced men and are
waiting for the old employees to return.
An evidence of the feeling of the strik-
ers was shown in a meeting which was
held in Manchester Friday night, and
which was addressed by DR.. Rucker and
Councilman Grizzard, of that city. They
urged the men To return to work. Ten
expressed their desire to go back. One
of those who applied for work on Satur-
day said il was fear of the unions strength
that was keeping the men back. Many
of them wanted to discontinue the fight,
but we're deferred by the sentiment
against them.
Another evidence that the company
regards the fight as now won was the
leaving for his home, in New York, OF
Farley, the chief of the strikebreakers.
Farley and his foreman, Hermann, left
on Friday night.
The Richmond Blues, under Major
Cheatwood- companies-were re-
leased from duty on Saturday as was
also Company !, of Farmyille. Company
NJ, of Danyille, Captain Farrar, was also
released and left for home yesterday.
The Lynchburg company was relieved
from duty yesterday, and the Alexan-
dria Light Infantry may now be expect
ed home any day.
Police officers w. II. Baker and E.
R. Robinson, of the First district, have
been dismissed as officers of the police
force.
Charges are said to be still pending
against officers Baker and Robinson grew
out of rioting on Eighteenth street dur
ing the early part of the strike. Charges
against the former were made by Cap
tain Guigon, of the Passenger and Power
Company, who alleged that Baker allow
ed trespassing on a car of the company,
became excited and behaved in manner
calculated to cause riot and disorder.
A general court-martial will be held
soon to hear charges against Lieutenant
William B. Stack, of Company B, Seven
tieth Regiment, Of Richmond. This is
result of court of inquiry held at the
request of Lieutenant Stack himself
The order placing him under arrest was
signed by Col. Anderson on Saturday
afternoon, and he is confinedin the regi-
mental armory. Thegeneral court-mar-
tial, which will be ordered by the Gov
ernor, will be the first held since the
troops were ordered out. The charges
against the lieutenant are of trespassing
on the premises of Madeline Loopz,
cursing and threatening to shoot her.
The report of the summary court call
ed to consider the charges of Captain
Farrar, of Company NJ, Of Dsnyille,
against his quartermaster sergeant,
Howard L. Weeks, made its report.
This case grew directly out of the publ
cation of the article to the effect that the
men of Company M, would ask their
captain to resign. The sergeant was
charged with conduct prejudicial to
good order and military discipline. He
was reduced to the ranks, and was also
sentenced TO forfeiture Of $40 Of his
pay.

AND NOW it is said that Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow must
30. This is the verdict of the politicians,
and when they act in unison success is
generally accomplished. Every Senator
and Representative who has heretofore
utilized the rural free delivery patronage
in building up his personal machine is
now said to be after Mr.. Bristow's
official head. They will never rest until
he has been either shorn of his strength
or removed. The politicians have waited
for a pretext to make war on Mr.. Bris-
tow, and it has now come in the allega-
ton that he is unfriendly to rural free
delivery. Protests against Mr.. Bristow
are now pouring in to Oyster Bay, and
coming TO the Postmaster General. lie
is credited with being an enemy to rural
free delivery and seeking to ruin the
service Rural free delivery is the
popular fad of the masses, and no more
appropriate watchword could be chosen
than that Mr.. BristOw is dampening the
system. 1t is not believed the Presi-
dent can long hold out against the COM
bined solicitations of all the men in
public life. Hemust yield sooner or later.
Then Mr.. Bristow must either with
draw from the service or have his power
taken away from him. Mr. Bristow
has been instrumental in bringing to
light much of the fraud that has existed
in the Postoflice Department for years
past and has of course brought upon
himself the hatred Of those whose rev.
enues have thus been cut off or whose
"pulP, has been lost. This of course
was to have been expected, but why
Senators and Representatives should
Join in the effort to 'down" Mr.. Bristow
can only be explained upon the prin-
ciple that these men do not want gov
eminent affairs honestly conducted.

LYNCHfNG IN MONTANA. "A dis
patah from Red Lodge, Mont, says ;

G. e. Pierce, deputy sheriff, was killed
during the attack on the Jail. A state

A still more alarming state of affairs
is reported from the vicinity Of Their
mopolis. About six weeks ago, as a
result of the range feud that has been
so bitterly waged, a sheepman, Ben
Minnick, was killed by cattlemen. The
sheriff, it is asserted, has captured the
murderers, who are all prominent cattle
men, and whose names have been with
held owing to threats made against the
sheriff. Sheriff Fenton is unable to get
his prisoners to Basin. 1t is said the
same mob that lynched German ara
Walters are sympathizers and have de-
clared that Sheriff Fenton will never
get out of the locality alive with his
prisoners,
