Captain Kidds treasure has been I'M
earthed again. This time Egg Harbor
City, N. J., is the place where the pi-
rates hoard has been found. A learned
professor has pointed out the hole where
the treasure chest may have been buried
and dug up.
The attention of the inhabitants of
Egg Harbor City was attracted on We'd
nesday night to series of mysterious
excavations on the West estate, which
is situated on the Egg Harbor River.
Lanterns were seen moving about in all
directions. as if a number of persons
were at work. Owing to an old super
stition that the West estate was haunted,
no one dared to investigate the matter
until next day.
Friday a party OF explorers found
picks, shovels and other digging tools.
The hole where the treasure chest might
have been was close by. No marked
stone or rusty blunderbuss or Spanish
raper was found that might indicate
that the pirate ever set foot on the
shores of Egg Harbor or who the Dig
gers might be.

in New Jersey, and has been unoccupied

which included Offices and yards of the
Brown Drydock Company, the James
McWilliams Towing Company, the The
odore Smith, Sons & Co. iron works,
the Bert Mitchell machine shops and
the Western Union Telegraph Company.
The latter concern lost seven of the
cables which carry direct Western wires,
and as a result all its through business
was relayed far up the State, and from
there to Philadelphia, causing consider
able delay.
