STOCK MARKET
TOOK A CHANGE
Fair Sailing Interrupted by a Heavy
Selling Movement,
PRICES PLUNGED DOWNWARD.
Rapidly Toward the Close and Many
Earlier Gains Were Completely
Wiped Out—Bonds Held
Somewhat Better,
NBPW YORK, Sept. 19.—The delicate
Yguaton of the SPeCuiiIve temper was well
ustrated by the course of to-day's mar
ket, which seemed to be going prosper
ously on Its way toward recuperation
and recovery In prices until the last half
hour of the Fond Ao After that time
Pies were bowled over in every direc
like n set of ten pins which had been
set up simply to be knocked down again.
The selling movement was in full force
when the market closed, and prices tend
ing rapidly downward. Some of the ear
lier gains were completely wiped out.
The market gave every appearance of
having thrown off the incubus of the
money scare. Reports from abroad of a
more conciliatory attitude on the part of
President Kruger and the decision of the
French Government to pardon Dreyfus
caused a rally in the foreign markets.
There, as well as here, the short interest
had been largely overextended, and they
found some Aifficulty in securing stocks
to cover short contracts, Professional
operators who had secured stocks of yes.
terdays’ low level had turned bull, and
thera was a fair volume of buying orders
in commission houses this morning, at
tracted by yesterday's late recovery in
prices. Prices were marked high at the
opening, and the trading was very active
for a time, but on a descending scale. Af
ter prices had gotten back to near vester.
day's close a demand of a substantial
character developed for standard railroad
stocks. Some of the specialties. notably
the New York traction stocks, which have
guffered recent violent losses, were mark
ed up rapidly. Late in the day a very
buovant tone carried the coalers upward
under the lead of Lackawanna, which ad.
vanced an extreme 11%, Other members
of the group rose from 214 to 4 points,
Metropolitan's extreme rise was 6%.
Brook!vn Ranid Transit was up at one
time 4%. Many other specialties were up
between 2 and 8 points, and the active
railroads very generally showed gains of
from 1 to 114. Such was the state of af
falre when the traders began to take pro
fits In the coalers and Metropolitan Street
railway. It did not take the hears long
to wipe out all of the gains in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, and the course of prices
turned quickly downward. The selling
movement continued actively to the close,
The early advance In prices was accom
panied by professions of confidence that
the money market difficulties had been
passed,
Call money ruled at 6 per cent. and
above during the day. The banks are not
losing quite as heavily as last week,
either to the sub-Treasury or to the inte.
rior, But the outward movement in
money is more than sufficient to make
inroads upon the legal reserves of the
banks. One of the vagaries of the situa
tion is that sterling exchange held steady
tg firm to-day, with buying for London
account of over 15,000 shares of stocks,
while it dropped sharply yesterday in
spite of London's selling of over 40,000
shares. Competent authorities do not look
for gold imports much later in the fall,
Bonds showed gains and held better than
stocks In the late weakness. Total sales,
par value, $2,200,000. United States bonds
were unchanged in bid quotations

Heirs of the Captain of His Ship Enter
Suit to Recover One Half the
Treasnre—A Yarn That
a
Rivals Fiction, ce wa»
The County Court at Jackson, Ohio, is
the scene just now of a suit to claim
Bi treasure, which in its absorbing.
ly interesting and romantic detail, puis
to shame the imaginative powers ol
Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Catalin Mayne Reid and the rest, and
adds another conclusive bit of proof of
the truth of the maxim that *“U'ruth is
stranger than fiction.”
The principals in the suit are Howard
F. Summers and Captain Charles A.
Henderson. The latter is a former Bal.
timorean, known among the older ship
pers of this port, who as mate of a big
clipper brig that salled from Baltimore
to the South Atlantic years ago, before the
Civil war, under Summers, a successful
smuggler, and during the war an equally
successful privateersman, was borne into
the midst of strange fortunes and adven
tures, of which this suit is the outcome,
Henderson was offered the berth of
mate on the Lark by Summers, and, igno.
rant of the business of the craft, accept.
ed and sailed from this port in her back
in the fifties. He very soon learned the
nature of his company, .but a love of ad
venture and the invariable success ot
Captain Summer's enterprises kept him
at it, both as smuggler and later as
privateersman.
SUCCESSFUL PRIVATEERING.
The years of the war went by, and,
whether all the laws of the high seas were
obeyed or does not matter, but Captain
Summers’ strong box grew heavier and
heavier until nearly $175,000 in gold and
notes lay under its lid, unknown to any
one but himself.

C
In 1864 the Lark left Rio Janeiro home.
ward bound, and her captain had deter.
mined as soon as he reached home to sell
the brig and lead a less perlious le.
But off the coast of South America the
ship ran into a terrific huricane and for
over a week was driven rapidly to the
south and west. During all that time it
was impossible to take an observation to
determine the ship's position, but on the
tenth day the sky cleared, and it was
found that the ship was near the Tristan
d'Achuna group of islands in the South
Atlantic. Land was in sight to the north.
ward, and toward this the Lark was
turned, for the ship's supply of water
was almost exhausted.
1


Half an hour later the lookout reported
a man.of-war headed straight for the
Lark. Now fhe captain of the Lark had
many reasone for not desiring to meet a
man.of-war of any nation, and all sall
was crowded on. But it was soon evi.
dent that the Lark was no match for her
pursuer, and Captain Summers decided
to run her in toward the island, as the
only chance as she rounded the island
they ran into a land-locked cove. Before
anything further could be done the man.
of-war hove to outside and dropped her
poatg into the water for the purpose of
continuing the pursuit. The crew of the
Lark did not wait for them, however, but
tumbled into the long boat and rowed
madly for the shore. The boats of the
man-of-war at once gave chase,




THE TREASURE BURIED.
Capt. Summers and his first mate were
left alone on the brig and the former de
termined to make an effort to save the
money which was in the chest below. So
he told Henderson briefly of the existence
of the treasure and offered him half of it
if he would help him convey it to a place
of safety. Henderson jumped at the
offer. They quickly lowerad a small boat
over the side of the brig away from the
man.of-war. In this they placed the
chest, and then rowed quietly ashore,
without being discovered by the man.of.
war's crew, who were intent on the pur.
suit of the long boat. As soon as they
reached the shore they pllled their boat
up into the underbrush, seized the chest
between them and made off into the
woods; nor did they stop until they had
placed several miles between themselves
and the cove. They concealed the chest
and themselves remained in hiding until
the next day, when they ventured to creep
down to the cove.

There was no sign of the man.of-war,
but the Lark had been scuttled and sunk
in the cove and the long boat in which
the crew had landed was smashed to
pieces. Their own small boat had not
been discovered, and was intact, An ex.
ploration of the island showed them that
none of the crew of the Lark had been
left upon it, and hence they concluded
that they had all been taken prisoners.
The Island was a small one, and was un.
inhabited. Summers and Henderson con.
cluded that the best for them to do was
to try to reach one of the larger islands
of the group in their boat. They were un.
willing, however, to risk the chest in the
small boat, for fear some accident might
happen to it, and so determined to leave
it behind. They had found a natural cave
in the course of their wanderings about
the island, and in this they buried the
chest, masking he place with a pile of
stones. Then rigged a small sail on
their boat and soon reached one of the
arger islands, which was inhabited. Here

Henderson knew no one on the islands
dition to go after the (reasurc, ALICE a
weary period of waiting, he finally secured
passage on a ship pound for the Cape
Colony, and it was not until three years
later that he reached his old home at
Baltimore, Here he endeavored to secure
the money necessary to fit out an expe.
dition to go after the treasure, but his
friends laughed at the story and thought
Henderson was a madman. He could
find no one who was willing to advance
the money needed, and so at last in des.
pair Henderson determined to return to
his old trade as asailor and earn enough
money to fit out a vessel. How he ate his
heart out during those weary years, how
he saved every cent and how at the end
of fifteen vears he found he had enough
money, can be passed over.
SEEKING THE TREASURE.


He bought the Laura K. Fine at Phila.
deiphia in 1585 and started for the South
Atlantic. But off Cape Hatteras the ves.
sel ran into a terrible gale and was
foundered, gthe crew being saved with the
utmost ditheulty., With the Laura K.
Fine, every cent Henderson had in the
world went to the bottom of the ocean,
and he was compelled to start in again
at the bottom of the ladder.

It was not until last year that Hender
son found himself again in position to
start for the treasure. He went to New
Orleans and bought the stanch little ves.
sel Frolic, belonging to the Southern
yacht Club, He had her thorqughly
overhauled ana renamed her the Rover,
Then he returned to his birthplace, Jack.
gon, O., and persuaded an old friend,
Claud Thompson, upon whom he could re.
ly, to go with him.
MAKES SECOND START.
On February 22, the fifty.ninth annl
versary of Captain Henderson's birth, the
Rover left New Orleans, and dropping
down the river, turned her head across
the Gulf on her long cruise, The voyage
was a rapid one and, without accident,
and on April 12 the Tristan d’Acunha
group was sighted. On the morning of the
14th the Rover entered the cove where a
portion of the wreck of the Lark could
still be seen.
Henderson and Thompson rowed ashore
alone, and, notwithstanding the thirty.
five years which had intervened since he
last visited the spot, Henderson led the
way without hesitation to the cave where
the treasure lay buried. Half an hour
later the chest was unearthed. It was not
until they were back in the calm of the
river that they broke open the chest,
The contents were found to be intact and
uninjured. Notes and gold together
amounted to $173,320,
THE TREASURE SECURED.
The Rover's prow was turned homeward
without delay, and in April last the ad.
venturers landed at Philadelphia. One
thousand dollars was distributed among
the crew, $150,000 was deposited in the
Third Natfonal Bank of Philadelphia and
$20,000 in cash was brought home by Hen.
derson, who proposed to spend the remain.
der of his days in peace, enjoying his
wealth, which he had waited so fong to
set.
It was not until the appearance of How.
ard Summers a few days ago that any
one questioned Captain Henderson's right
to the entire fortune. Young Summers,
however, claims that he is the son of
Captain William H. Summers. Ie alleges
that when Captain Summers sailed away
on his last voyage he left a wife and boy
baby at Baltimore. The wife has since
died. They heard of the bark being
caught 4n the hurricane off the South
American coast, and as nothing further
was ever heard of Summers they believed
that the brig had foundered with all on
board. Mrs, Summers knew that her
husband had a large sum of money with
him, but she suppor d that that, too, was
at the bottom of ti: ocean, It was only
recently that Summer: Jr. learned of Hen
derson’s reurn, and he has at once taken
steps to establish his title to one-half of
the money.—Baltimore¢ American,

next, to nominate a Democratic candidate
for the House of Delegates. The three
candidates, Messrs, Waller, Moncure and
Powers, pledged themselves to the County
Committee, to use no money or drink or
anything else to influence a voter. The
result 1s, the canvass is quiet and digni.

Labor is scarce and hard to get. The
crops of corn are very good, so too is the
tobacco crop. The hands that leave this
neighborhoo! and go to the public works,
in nearly every case, return without any
means of support for winter. Those that
remain on the farins or cultivate on shares
are generally thrifty and thelp,labor is
nothing like so laborious. Very frequent.
ly both men and women who leave in the
spring return broken down in health and
almost every week thelr friends here are
notifled of their death,
The public schools will open in the next
month, but it is a hard matter for the
teachers to make an average, The pa.
rents are generally indifferent about the
education of their children and besides,
need their services at home,
Since the Introduction of the publie
school system, parents have come to be.
lleve that it is not thelr duty, but the duty
of the public to educate their children, and
the duty of the teachers to see that they
attend the schools. They positively re.
fuse to pay a teacher the smallest com.
pensation to continue the schools longer
than the five months, that the public
schools are generally open.
Mr. Henry T. Wickham or rather the

no opposition and will get the solid vote of
this county for senator,
A protracted meeting will commence at

Speclal.—-The season ot the “Bedford
Alum’ has just closed and the last visitor
has hid us farewell, and quiet reigns,
and will continue till the whippoorwills
come again, The season has been highly
satisfactory to Mr, Maben, the proprietor,
though he will not admit that it has made
him a “bloated bond holder.”
The farmers are busy cutfing tobacco
and saving their fodder. The tobacco
crop is considered a good one, and the
corn crop immense,

Polk Miller was here about ten days
ago and gave an entertainment for the
benefit of the Episcopal rectory. It was
well attended and highly enjoyed,
Me. Miller spent an afternoon shooting
at bats, but either his gun was too short
or the bats too high. Polk's average was
not large. Bats are still numerous, but
shells are scarce, as he used up ‘all in
town. He must come again when the
partridge season opens, and redeem his
reputation,
Mr. H. B. Flippin and lady, of your elty,
are here visiting friends, Mr. F, is known
throughout this section as the champion
squirrel hunter. The Legislature should
enact a law limiting his stay in a neigh

few to keep up the stock,
Birds are said to be plentiful, and the
rabbit crop promises to be immense, so
we are not Wkely to suffer for fresh meat
when the game law expires.
Carson's distillery is quiet this fall,
which throws a damper on our spirits,
The local option election will be here soon,
but the result, no man can tell. From
the way some are consuming corn and rye,
they anticipate that it will go dry.
fr. Maben says his alum water Is
good for everything, so the district will
wave that to fall back on,
