PEASANT GIRLS TREASURE.

(From the London Telegraph.) Members of the we'll known Rouman- ian family of Ghika, who are resident in Vienna, received some interesting information from Jassy today. A num-
 Der of cases filled with objects of gold and silver, with jewelry and diamonds, estimated to be worth several million
 kronen, were found in the course of
 search made by the police in the
 house of a peasant woman named Safta Bradinarin, living in the environs
 of Jassy.
 This woman, who was at once ar rested, stated that the case had been concealed in her house for twenty six years. Her deceased daughter was in the service of Prince Nikolai Ghika,
 who died suddenly after an opera tion in Paris. The peasants daughter Ma
 ria took several sealed cases which no
 one appeared to want, and conveyed them to her home. She was afraid to attempt to dispose of the valuable ob- jects, which have until now, remained
 hidden in her mothers house.

 Much anxiety still exists in the com
 munity concerning the illness of Dr. Cogswell There appeared to be slight improvement yesterday, but he had a good deal of fever. It is said some of our people, who

CAUGHT 12O POUND COD.
(From the Boston Post. i,

When the fishing schooner Athena Capt. Edward Forbes, docked yester- day at T wharf a monster cod was unloaded. The cod was caught of the Middle Banks Tuesday and when pulled aboard the Athena tipped the scales at 120 pounds.
 The fish was captured by Capt Forbes and dory mate and put up nc fight. An ordinary cod hook was used in catching the fish. This fish is the largest that has been brought into T wharf for sev- eral months. The head was as large as the head of a full grown New foundland dog and the extended jaws measured nine inches from tip to base.

DOG WITH A WOODEN LEG.
(Rumford Correspondence Lewiston

(Rumford Correspondence Lewiston
 Journal.)
 Teddy, the cream colored little dog which is widely known as PostmBn A. l.. Davis shadow, is probably the only dog in New England which wears a wooden leg.
 Harry Ladd, who can turn his hand su uccessfully to almost anything under the Armament, has cleverly fashioned a wooden leg for Teddy, and Teddy has successfully worn it, though ne doesn't care just yet to wear it con- tinuously But with a little coaXi1ig 2 and after becoming little more ac- customed to the unusual limb it is expected that Teddy will enjoy his artificial paw.

gang-who swore that Lupo and
Morello were the leaders OF the coun-
terfeiters, and that THE other men
who had been taken in connection
with the barrel murder were also
implicated in the making OF the
bogus money.
When confronted with this testi-
money both Lupo and his partner
broke down and confessed, and, In

given terms in the Atlanta federal
prison which totaled 1850 years for
the eight men.
But the secret service was not
satisfied with this. II was thought al
the time that these were not all OF

similar character began to make tneil
appearance about two months ago
detectives were assigned to the
Italian quarter 10 gather evidence
against the remainder OF the gang.

GANG RUN DOWN
Famous Lupo Band in Tolls Of
Secret Service

Washington, Dec. 3.-With the ar
raignment in court in New York yes
terday OF nine of the Itansns taken
in the raid Thursday night upon the
remaining members OF the famous
"Lupo gang" OF counterfeiters. the
secret service OF the treasury depart
ment has again demonstrated that,
although 1t may appear to nap occa-
sionally. II never really sleeps.
More than three years ago the de.
partment noted that there were q
large humber of So and s. bills. OF
counterfeit nature, coming from
New 70 X. Within a short time the
entire metropolitan banking district
vas flooded with these spurious
notes. ~
Where did they come frong
That was question for the secret
service-that mysterious body q
men trained as detectives to ferret

set about the task with an cagernesi

we're manipulating the false plates.
But, for long time little trace
could be found OF the place of manu-
factnre OF the notes. That they wer'
| issued In New York seemed practi
caily certain. but where in New
York? Nearly all the special men o
the service were commissioned q
look for any suspicious character
who might be accused Of making o
disposing OF these bad bills. but y
no avail.
Finally Lieutenant Petrosino--th
same who was later killed in Italy
managed 10 obtain evidence tina

he had rented a room in the upper
part of the building in which the
men whom he wished to watch had
their headquarters. But, even there,
he could not gather any evidence.
Everything seemed open and above
board, except for the fact that the
society 20 which the suspects we're
supposed to belong held It's meetings
every night at about midnight. This
was what had first put Petrosino on
the trail, for the meetings Of the
average Italian secret society are
held about twice a week
