This forenoon Depot square shivered
in the second wave of ex-
itement that has enyeloped it in TWEEN
yfour hours. Workmen excavating
or the sub-celar of the new Jacks"
uneh room uncovered what appears to ,
re an ancient reliquary for emergency
medicines. The first tap of laborer's '
lick against small chest some six feet
nder the level was followed quickly by
he unearthing of a sizeable box con-
aiming several bottles of beer and a
agon of prime gin. The news spread
uickly around the square and within !
hree minutes large crowd of experts
n the testing line had swarmcd along
he banks of the cellar. Years of repose
n the darkness of the dank earth had ,
obbed the lighter beverage OF its old
TRACTION, but trustworthy witnesses
to the quality of the gin. De-
pite its long ageing, the gin had lost
one OF its old-time subtle sting, it was
aid. Old citizens say the repository
must date back beyond the memory of
NY of the late tenants of the lunch
ouse.
