 New York, Feb. 2.-The treaty of ChinatoWn-"a agreement between the societies known as the On Leong Tong and the Hip Sig Tong, to insure peace and good will among the Chinese of Greater New York was drawn up and formally agreed to to-day before Justice Warren W. Foster of the court of special sessions as arbitrator The treaty will be signed with much pomp and ceremony next Tuesday If the warning factions live up to the terms of the agreement it will mean the end of reign of terror In Chinatown, in the darkened recesses of whose mys. crimes have been of almost weekly oc- terious buildings, murders and other crimes have been of almost weekly oc- currence, and where occasionally the never sleeping enmity of the feudists has flared out in pitched battles of the street between Chinamen clad in coats of mail.
 The shadowy figures of the night hours which move about in this quar- ter of old China set down in the great n, at rny,o1;e 1,,sII ,oo 1op0a,. INa on v,,,,y der bent; the long harreled, blue steel army revolvers will all be yielded up to the police, the coats of mail, some of steel links and some of bullet proof felt, will no longer find a place in the wardrobes of the militant Orientals and under heavy bond to keep the peace, the Chlnamen will return to work with thoughts of other things than the wiping from the face of the earth of every Chnaman belonging tc the rival tong. Gambling Is to be eschewed, no deadly weapon is to be bought or accepted as a gift and every difference of opinion is to be promptly taken to the Chinese consul for settle ment. Altogether the treaty to which the Chinese have assented promises tc make New York's Chinatown model community.
 The agreement consists of ten ar ticles Each society Is to give a bond in the sum of $1,OOO, to be forfeited through any act of violence on the part of it's members.
 Despite the efforts of the police, the Chinese murders have been increasing of late years and every outbreak of lawlessness in Chinatown has been laid to one or the other of the rival tongs The Chinese government became inter ested in the matter and the consu here together with Judge Foster man. aged week ago to secure truce which now has led to the agreement from which peace and good will among Cninamen are expected to issue.

laden with AT tons Of hard coal. consigned
to local dealer, sank of Point Lookout
last Friday and is now lying at the bottom
of the bay in eleven fathoms Of water. The
barge. in company with three others. de-
parted from Chesapeake City in tow of the

this city. All went well until the tug start
ed with her tow around Point Lookout. A
heavy sea was running at the time and the
Thompson labored heavily, the seas break
ing over her constantly. 1t is supposed she
sprang a leak, for she began to settle rapid
ly and was almost ready to sink when the
Dixie came alongside her and took Capt. A.
P. Corners and his mate on the sinking
vessel, which went down q few minutes
later. The cargo of coal in the Thompson
was consigned to c. c. Smithson of this

twelve years old and was regular trader

her some DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
She laughed at the idea of relief
from such a source after doctoring
for SO long, but took one of the
tablets with the remark that it
would at least do her no harm. She
took another that evening, and the
next morning she was SO elated that
she went to the druggists and got

her. Recently she was here again,
