and Mrs. H. R. Childress and Miss May Harrison, of Satartia. Miss Harrison was thrown to the floor of the cabin and the dining table with its load of dishes fell on her, pinning her to the floor, and she was in imminent danger of being drowned by the inrushing waters, when she was rescued by the gentlemen present, and all managed to scramble to the side of the boat and launch a skiff, in which they embraked in time to save them from what seemed must be certain death.

An event which is shrouded in mystery took place near the city last night, and has caused 110 little amount of speculative interest by those concerned. The case involves what seems to have been hidden treasure which has lain undisturbed. for many years, only to be recovered at this late date by some one unknown. Mr. J.

F. Barbour, of this city, the well-known member of the law firm of Henry, Barbour Henry, owns a small farm about three miles northeast of the city, and the same has been occupied for the past year or more by his brother, Mr. J. S. Barbour.

Several weeks ago Mr. J. S. Barbour was taken ill, and that time has been at the his since, law, Hon, W. A.

Henry, in this city. On the place. is a negro tenant, who came to the city early last week and notified Mr. Barbour that some one had on Friday night previously been busy alt night long digging a large hole on the place, a few hundred yards from the house. The negro said that during the night his dog barked continuously, and he got up to make an investigation, but as it was quite dark he saw nothing unusual, and went to bed.

The next morning in going over the place he discovered on the top of a knoll a large hole, about twelve feet deep and some ten or fifteen feet square, and at the bot tom of the hole was the imprint, distinctly outlined, of a box having been taken out of the bottom of the hole. The opening made by removing the box was about the size of a cracker box, If it is entirely speculative just what the nature of the or its contents could have been, but in view of the fact that the excavation was so large and so deep, and the further fact that it was necessary for the persons, whoever they were, to cut down several saplings on the spot where the excavation was made, it is only natural to presume that the box contained something of great value. The fact that the spot has long been overgrown with shrubs of several years standing also, shows that the treasure, if such was, had been buried there for many years, and had not been recently deposited there. It is not likely that anyone burying a treasure would go to a depth of more than five or six feet, and the great depth at which this box was found indicates that the box was placed there many years ago, and that the accumulations of vegetable matter and shrubbery had added greatly to the depth in this way. Lumber Loading Machine.

Gulfport, Jan. Burns, of the Burns Boom Company, last summer devised a machine for transferring timber by the carload out of the water where it is stored on board cars of the Gulf Ship Island spur track which runs alongside Bayou Bernard. The machine is a simple device, composed of an engine and hoist, which only requires the labor of one man to operate, and about five or six men work the car of timber. The timber was for years towed around Handsboro through Biloxi bride, then' around in the sound to the ship's side, a distance of over fifty miles. The machine was devised on account of the impracticability of loading cars where the spur track runs alongside the bayou, there being a very high dump all along the bayou.

The machine has proved a success and has been operating some time. Fifteen thousand feet are hoisted at one time aboard cars, then they are run out alongside ship on the pier, obviating the necessity of rafting and doing away with timber dogs. As the timber stored here is free from toredo, all vessels will be loaded from the bayou in summer and the Burns boom in the salt water basin used in the winter season, Harrison County Medicos.

J. Fitzgerald, who was bar keeper in the place, fined each the sum of fifty dollars, upon the charge of having sold liquor in Mississippi. Justice Murch stated after announcing the fines that he felt that possibly the guilty ones had acted in wilful violation of the law, and that was why he had not made the penalty much more severe. The day's trial which was conducted in the city court room at the city hall, had attracted widespread attention, the court room being practically filled throughout. The argument in which was set forth the convincing evidence, the authorities of law and their application, and the appeal for the conviction of the defendants, was made by Hon.

Theo. McKnight. He made out a case so clear that it seemed to impress nearly every one in the court room with its force and justice. After imposing the fines, Justice Much ordered the Morrissey stock and fixtures again seized and under the law destroyed. The defense at this point asked if the court would not wait until today before having the order carried out, to see if the case would be appealed and the request was granted.
