owner in these parts, and it is generally
supposed that much OF his ill-gotten treas
ure Is still buried along the banks of the
tributaries of the Chesapeake.
OF this buried treasure many a tale has
been told by the fireside. Planters and
their slaves have searched for il, appar-
entity in vain although rumors have long
been afoat that at various times portions
of IL have been found.
The unusually heavy gales of the last
few weeks have washed away much of
the banks of the Chesapeake and its tribu-
taries- Where was once solid ground is
now water, and large trees, centuries old,
undermined by the waves, have fallen and
carried with them large portions of the
banks which they grew, revealing
among tangled roots the possible hiding
places of the ancient treasure.
These excessive high tides have been
followed by the extreme reverse. and for
three days past the oyster and sand-bars
OF the bay, in many cases half a mile from
shore, have been laid bare for the first
time in thirty years, even the highest tide
failing to cover them. Old Oystermen say
that this peculiar phenomenon has occurred
but once before within their recollection
after the wind from the Northwest had
blown with great velocity for several days
and then, as now, il had brought baymen
and persons from all stations in life to
the beaches with carts, Wheel-barrows and
other vehicles, in order to gather in the
uncovered oysters.
A day or two ago Uncle Solomon Goodby
formerly a faithful slave I'm an old Talbot
little cove near certain historic residence
on the Tired Avor river. Having filled his
wheelbarrow and just about 10 start home
he discovered near the roots of a recently
fallen cedar, and partly imbedded in the
clay washed down from the bank, the pro-
jecting corner of brass bound box.
The box was in a state of extreme decay
and was held together loosely by its brass
binding, green with canker. In the old
mans attempt to eXhume ii ii dropped TO
pieces revealing in the black mold of its
interior a solitary coin of pure gold and
Spanish make.
Goodby, having shown this coin at the
EastOn Bank and learning its value was
unable to keep the secret and soon the
beach was lined with men, women and chill
dren of all colors and classes digging in
the sand with pick, shovel and farming i'm
plements of various kinds.
In the clay bank about the roots OF the
old cedar tree, and in line with IL far out
on the sand. a few gold pieces and many
human bones were discovered.
Tradition and early history OF Maryland
state that this spot was once a graveyard.
and as the present owner has papers in his
possession proving the former ownership of
Sir Henry Morgan. the famous buccaneer
in l649 IL is only natural TO suppose that
this is a part OF the treasure OF that great
desperate and these the bones of some of
his gang
Several shrewd men Of Easton and Balti-
more are endeavoring TO purchase the plan

TAGGART MACHINE WINS
ELECTION BY ACCLAMATION
Democratic Convention Held in
Masonic Hall Proves to Be
a Tame Affair.
OILY TOM MAKES SPEECH

The Taggart slate for officers of the Dem
ocratic county committee was elected by
reclamation at the convention held last
night in Masonic Hall. The following were
elected:
Chairman-Charles b. Clarke.
Vice Chairman-Andrew II. VAIL.
Secretary-Charles u. Pettijohn.
Treasurer-Eliott r. HootOn.
1t was expected that there would be a
contest for the office of secretary. The
friends of Allen Majors, who gave Petit
john a close race at the primaries, were
expected TO put his name before the con-
vention, but Majors's supporters went over
TO Pettijohn.
Former County Chairman w. w: Spen-
Ger addressed the convention in strong and
forcfble terms, urging upon the members of
the party to put forth their best efforts for
the good of the party, as strength could
only be obtained in that way. He urged
all the Democrats TO stand by one another
and dwell in peace and harmony. After
thanking the precinct committeeman for
their efficient work, he introduced the newly
elected officers and each of them made a
short speech. Charles 3. Clarke in his
speech denied the circulated report that he
was a factionist and said that he stood for
the principles of the whole Democratic
party. Thomas Taggart was also on hand
and made a short address

LITTLE DANGER FEARED
FROM RISE OF THE RIVER
There Is Now a Channel OF Run
ming Water in the Center OF
the Stream.
BRIDGES STRENGTHENED

No material change Ga the water and ice
situation in White river and Fan creek was
noted yesterday and apprehension as 10 the
possible danger that would follow the thaw
was somewhat allayed At the West Wash
ington-street pumping station OF the In
dianapOlls Water Company it was stated
last evening Ihat the river had not risen
at all and that no danger was unprecedented
when the ice breaks up. A channel of
wafer runs in the middle Of the river. with
ice on either side, and small quantities of
ice came down this channel yesterday and
last evening, but the ice at the sides of the
stream remained intact.
Weather Indicate given out yesterday
morning were for rain last night and to-
day with no change in the temperature,
and it looked possible last evening that the
apparently harmless situation might be
changed into one of danger should the rain
come in such quantities as to cause sud
den and decided rise of the river. At points
in the river and Fall creek the ice extended
from bank to bank.
The Indianapolis Traction and Terminal
Company is taking no chances on the turn
of weather conditions and took steps to
strengthen the braces that support the
Northwestern-avenue bridge across, Fall
creek and the Morris-street bridge across
the river 1t was thought that the River
avenue bridge was sufficiently strong TO
stand any pressure Of ice that might be
brought down against t. The Michigan
street bridge Is the one that gives the city
authorities the greatest apprehension.
Police were called to the bridge across
Pogue's run at BroOkside avenue and Sew
enteenth street yesterday 10 keep children
off the bridge. The structure was thought
by some TO be endangered by high water in
the run.

WELLS LAUGHED 1T
THE WRONG TINE
Bicyclemen Caused Him to Spend
the Night in the Police
Station.

When James S. Wells, giving his age as
twenty-seven and looking TO be forty-five
years old. imbibes too freely, he delights
to laugh at policemen. particularly bicycle
men. He laughed at Lowe and Bernauer
last night and spent the remainder of the
evening in the bastile.
The bicyclemen had been out on a call,
and they passed along Douglass street
they heard a merry ha, ha, from somewhere
in the shade of the trees. AS they were
on their way back to police station and
passed the house at 537 Blake street they
again heard the laughing voice. This time
some remarks also were made and the Of
ficers investigated.
They found Wells holding on to a pillar
of the porch at 537 and the man of the
house with a revolver and club preparing
TO learn what he was doing there. Wells
did not know where he was, and for some
time had been trying to get into the houses
in the neighborhOod under the impression
that he lived there.
