MILKMAN'S STEED
GALLOPS TO BLAZE
Old Fire Horse Reused by Alarm
Dashes Away With Apparatus

NEW YORK, June 24.-Discarded by
the fire department. his usefulness to
the city gone, the days of his might
counting for naught, Jerry" an i'm
mense sorrel, once the pride of Engine
Company No. 55, stood in the shafts of
milk wagon in Mott street early this
morning. Meek and humble, his head
hanging low, he found no comfort in
mere thoughts of the good old days.
Ding! Ding! Ding! went the Jingle
bell in the engine house near by.
Presto! Jerry was awake. His ears
stood up, his eyes sparkled, his hoofs
beat the asphalt
.'Whoa!" cried George Hauff, his
driver
Engine No. So swung into the street
and was off to a fire in the Holtz cafe,
6O4 Broadway. So was Jerry.
Dashing down Mott street, he raced
neck and neck with the engine team.
In vain Hauff tugged at the lines. The
spirit of the old life had possession of
the horse.
Running forward, Jerry showed his
heels to the horses for which he had
been discarded. He was having the
time of his life.
Through Prince street Jerry raced
with reckless abandon. His glory end
ed as he crashed into plate glass win
dow in the store of Asseltia Bros, at

Premier Balfour Issues Siqnifi.
cant Whip

LONDON, June 25.-Premier BaIfour
has issued significant whip to the
members of the government in the form
OF reply to question asked in the
house of commons.
Sir John Leng asked the premier
whether, in view of the discomfort re-
garding the budget and the evident
dissatisfaction of the constituencies,
the premier would not withdraw the
contentious measure and windAup the
business of the session in order to sub
init the policy Of the government to
the country.
Premier Balfour, in reply, says that
he does not propose to take the course
suggested unless the government in-
ours such defeat as to show that it
has lost the confidence of the house of
commons, or unless it shall fail to re-
ceive from day to day the support
Which is necessary to carry on the
business Of parliament In either of
these events the government will ask
to be relieved from it's responsibilities"
The latter part of the reply excites
comment, as in view of the recent small
majorities in favor of the government
it is taken to mean that Mr. Balfour
will go to the country should the
government be defeated as the result
of the Indifference of it's supporters
during minor debates.

FARMER PLOWS UP
BURIED TREASURE
Reported Discovery of From
100000 to $5OO,OOO on
Squakle Hill

( GROVELAND, N. Y, June 24-The
people of the neighboring village of
Mount Norris are greatly worked up
over the reported finding of a treasure
of buried gold coins on the farm of
John E. White, on Squakie Hill. The
general report is that the gold amounts
to about 100000. Livingston county
has not been so full of mysterious ru-
mors for many generations and almost
everybody has a different story to tell
of the wonderful find.
During the American Revolution,
one of the stories goes, a paymaster in
the Continental army on his way into
the Genesee and Wyoming valleys was
murdered by Indians, who buried
somewhere in the. hills the gold that
the paymaster and his assistants were
taking with them to pay the soldiers.
Squakie Hill is one of those surround
ing the Genesee valley.
The story of the buried treasure,
growing as the years went by, has been
handed down from generation to gen.
GRAFTON in Livingston county, and near
ly everybody who has been born and
brought up in the vicinity has made a
search for the buried treasure at one
time or another. Every cave and cleft
has been explored, and men have been
digging here and there in the hills, off
and on for a hundred years. But up to
the present time, so far as was ever
known, nobody has ever come across a
single coin.
Dug Long in Vain
Clairvoyants and so-called mind
readers have been brought here and
10 Mount Norris, in the hope they
might dream out the location of the
gold. and small parties following the
mysterious tips received have dug at
night on SQuakie Hill and in a hundred
other places without success.
The story now circulating through
Livingston county is to the effect that
one of Farmer Whites hired men was
engaged the other day in plowing a
part of the farm that had never before
been titled, when his plowshare turned
over a large fiat stone. Under the
stone was another round, fiat stone
which gave forth a hollow sound when
accidentally struck. The round stone
being lifted up a vault or hole in the
ground was discovered. The farm
hand replaced the cover and when he
went up to the barn to turn in the
horse for the night he told Mr. White
all about what he had discovered.
That same night, it is said, the own
er of the farm went by himself to the
vault with a lantern and spade. A
neighbor saw the lantern, he says, tray-
cling several times that night between
Squakie Hill and the White dwelling.
This and some talk let fall by Mr..
White himself have given rise to the
story that all of the immense buried
treasure has been recovered.

M|NCE PIES CAUSE
TWO DAMAGE SUITS
Farmer Sues an Old Neiqhbor
for Alleged Theft of Quarter
Piece of One

HANOVER, Pa, June 24.-Upon a
mlnce pie hinges lawsuit just brought
by G. w. Hilterbrick, of Mount Pleasant
township, Adams county, against Ezra
W. Mehring, Of Littletown. The prin-
cipals in this merry war are well-to-do
farmers who have been neighbors for
years.
Hflterbrick charges that while Meh-
ring was visiting at the Hilterbrick
home last winter he entered the kitchen,
where, without the fear of God before
his eyes and at the instigation of the
devil, ne proceeded to take from the
stove and eat a large and juicy mince
pie" which Mrs. Hilterbrick had baked.
Whereupon he prays for damages, in
generation of the offender, and such
other relief as the jury and court might
grant
At the hearing of the suit before
Justice of the Peace Sneeringer to-
day the entire countryside assembled
and Hilterbrick appeared as prosecutor.
He refuses to settle the case unless
Mehring will pay heavy damages. He
much preferred, he said, that the de-
fendant should go to prison.
1t was shown that Mehring had not
eaten whole miQce pie, as charged,
but only one-fourth cut of the choice
pastry. The intrisic value of the whole
pie, Hilterbrick admitted. was only
- OCAAlSs EuI 1O COAlS1Q6IS THAT Ills ulS-
appointment in losing the cut warrants
him in demanding a large sum of money.
After hearing all the evidence in the
case Squire Sneeringer required Mehring
to furnish $500 bail pending jury trial
In addressing the witnesses Justice
Sneeringer said if it were possible to
know what merit there was in the pie
judgment could be more easily given. He
told Of mince pies that made the stub
born weep and sent others to the grave,
and suggested that possibly the defend
ant already had his punishment He
deprecated the fact that one-fourth cut
Of a mince pie should disturb lifelong
relations between friends and create an
other war so near battlefield that is
already sufficient history.
The case will be tried in the Adams
county court

POPE'S WONDERFUL
AMERICAN CENSUS
His Holiness Ordered the Most
Complete and Detailed Re.
port Ever Attempted

NEW YORK, June 24.-Previous to
the arrival of Cardinal Satolli is was
cabled that one of his missions in this
country would be the appointing in
every diocese of inspectors who are to
investigate conditions, make their in
quiries independently of the bishops
and report directly to Rome.
The cardinal, who insists that he
has come only with social purpose
declines to speak of this reported as
pect of his visit.
Rev. Father De Costa, who was or
dained a priest of the Church of Rome
last fall, and who is now dying in ST.
Vincent's hospital, says that his holi-
ness is to conduct the most marvel
Gus and extensive census of the church
ever attempted. Father De Costa ar
rived from Rome a few days ago.
Through his cardinals, who have
the power to commission the deputies
and assistants, a complete census Of
every parish, mission and communi-
cant is to be taken throughout the
world said Father De Costa.
Comprehensive Record
"The record, when completed. will
include the spiritual, temporal, numer-
icaI, physical and social conditions pre-
yailing in every diocese, including
every communicapt from the highest in
rank to the humblest.
Even the names, ages and property
of every member of church and mis-
sion will be included.
when the pope proposed this
mighty collection of statistics his car
dinals exclaimed, Impossible! but
Pope Plus x. was undertaking from his
purpose.
His holiness has instructed his dep

collecting the data, any hospitality
from the dignitaries of the church, but
to go ahead with their gigantic task,
carrying it through in business like
fashion to the end.

AT 1O5 HE RETURNS
TO IRELAND TO DIE
John O'ReiIIy Lands in the Old
Country After Absence of
Sixty.Eight Years

LONDON, June 24.-After an alb
sence Of sixty-eigh years in the Unit
ed States, an Irish centenarian named
John O'Reilly landed at Queenstown.
He is now hale and hearty, but he has
returned to die, when his time comes
in the old country.
Born in 1899, his life spans three
centuries, and he has seen MANY
changes, not the least noteworthy be-
ing the improvement in the means of
travelling. When he sailed from
Queenstown with his wife in 1886 the
passage was made in a sailing vessel,
which took fifty-nine days to reach
New York. During the passage there
were numerous deaths.
Loses Earnings in Failure
Landed at New York he settled down
70 laD0r1ng work at, ForestviIle and
Dunkfrk, and afterward in PennsyI-
vania, where he accumulated enough
TO purchase 500 acres Of land, which he
bought for $4,000 and sold for $4,000.
He gave $4,000 to a banker at Forest
Vile for investment, and three days
later the banker failed and shot him
self.
If he had not done So" said O'Reilly,
someone else would have shot him,
That was O'Reilly's first downfall in
America, and he lost all confidence in
American banking institutions there
after, and heneeforward kept his dol
lars in his trunk with his wife and
himself keeping guard.
Wants to Be Buried With Kin
He had had little illness, and late
ly he resolved that while his vigor still
remained he would recross the At
lantic, that he might be buried with
those of his own kith and kin, who are
numerous in West Cork.
AS he joined the passengers on the
Lucania all eyes were turned upon
him. With his chin almost meeting
the point of his nose and his parch-
ment looking face, he was truly a fig
ure rarely met with on an ocean liner.
During the passage he had many
anxious inquiries after him, and his
reply to all was, "Slept fine; never
felt better" He indeed appeared to
have become rejuvenated, and he trod
