TREASURE BURIED IN RIVER BED
FOR YEARS RECOVERED.
Were Bought in England Before the
War and Intended for Southern
Road Fortune for Lucky
Finder of Property.

Liberty, Tex Mining for steel
rails is a new industry, but 1t is be-
ing carried on profitably at Liberty
Forty-six years ago 10000 tons OF
steel rails wer purchased in England
by a syndicate OF wealthy planters Of
this section and a number OF New
Workers associated with them In a
railroad proposition up the valley OF
the Trinity river.
The rails we're paid for and brought
TO Galveston by water and shipped
up the Trinity river by barges. They
were unloaded Just below the town
and piled on the low bank OF the
river. The civil war came on and the
project was abandoned. The members
OF the company we're either killed In
the war or lost their property or we're
scattered until not one of them has
been heard of for more than a quarter
OF century.
A big food in the river occurred a
few months after the rails had been
piled upon its banks and we're covered
with a heavy deposit of sand. The
fact that the rails existed finally be-
came dim memory in the minds of
the older residents of Liberty and OF
late years the story of the disastrous
project has been a mere legend.
The river shifted several hundred
yards during the years and more than
80 feet Of sand and soil had been de-
posted upon the rails, leaving no
trace whatever of them.
II was left TO t. e. Nichols, of Hous-
ton. to bring these rails to the light
of day. Several months ago he was
in Liberty on a business visit when he
chanced to meet an old negro who

history Of the water ways. During

announced, aggregated 7,7S2,771 net

the approximate amount of 10000 600
net tons was carried through the st.
Mary's water ways-the largest ag-
gregate in any one year since the
first lock went into commission half
a century ago-the movement up to
the 1st of August footed up 1887 ,2O4

Refusal.

Cleveland, O.-Nearly 1000 miles
came Mrs. Abraham Rosenberg to
Cleveland to get the consent of her
dead husbands brother, Jacob Rosen-

at the BNai Jeshuren synagogue. Mrs.
Rosenberg will start back for Hun

choice.
Under the Jewish law Mrs. Rosen-
berg, having no child, was compelled
to get her brother-in-law's refusal to
take her as his wife. They went be-
fore a rabbi and Jacob repeated in
Hebrew:
Il like not to take her. / can not
take her for myself lest l mar mine

The widow unlaced a soft leather
sandal from his foot, cast it aside and
spat daintily in Jacobs direction.
Then she repeated the closing words
of the ceremony.

TrouhIe With Nerroe.


 More trouble between the street railway employees ana negro passen- gers occurred this morning about o'clock, when Conductor Yates, in de- lending himself from the attack of Richard Stein. colored, shot the latter, and his condition today IS serious. Yes- terday the negroes had a big picnic at Kupfrian's Park, and cars were run until long after midnight to bring them to the city. For some weeks there has been evidence of bad feeling between the negroes and conductors probably due to the passage and en- forcement of the Jim Crow law, and this morning the car in charge of Con- ductor Yates was packed with a CUTS ing and disorderly crowd of blacks as 1t started Tor the city. It had gone only short distance when the negroes began to refuse to pay their fare and curse the conductor. Finally it reach ed the point that Stein started along the running board with a big knife grasped in his hand and uttering threats of murdering the street car man.
 The latter then drew his revolver and fired at the negro, who fell to the ground. Two more shots were fired at him as he ran from the light of the car, and when he saw another negro advancing upon him the conductor fired another shot at him. The negro ran and disappeared. Stein, the negro shot went to his home where he was later found. The bullet had passed through his body and lodged in the back where 1t was extracted. Some weeks ago there was trouble between the negroes and car employees and a conductor was badly cut. He resumed his run a few days ago and last night 1t Is stated that his car was surround cd In the suburbs when the power gave out for few moments. and trouble was averted only through the power returning and the car moving on.
