CAPTAIN KIDD's TREE BLOWN DOWN.
Said to Have Sheltered Buried Treasure for
More Than Two Centuries.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Railway. n. j. Dec. 2--The old pepperidge tree
whose history dates hack over two hundred years
was blown down in the heavy gale of last night It
stood by the bend Of the Railway River, on what
is now the Bracher property. Every man IN Rall-
way who was boy here fifty years ago used to
dive from its branches into the swimming hole,
where the water twenty feet deep.
During the days of Captain Kidd. the older resi-
dents say. the pirate sailing up the stream
one night in vessel laden with half million dol
lars in gold. contained in chests which were buried
under this old tree. The piratical old captain
was accompanied by only one sailor. After the
boxes had been placed in the ground, fearing the
man might turn traitor, the captain shot him to
death. and. placing the body the chests. buried
the gold with the dead a guard. Ever after
that no coiored people. or other superstious per-
sons, would go near the tree after dark saying
that at midnight in the full of the moon, they
could hear the means and groans of the dead
mans spirit
The whole field about there has been dug up
over and over searching for buried treasure but
never more than few douboons were ever found
Many believe to-day that the marshes anG bed Of
the river cover untold moneys placed there by Cap
tain Kidd and his men.
