Edward Watson, an aged man living in Prultville, Chelsea, w ho has accumulated over il2,nno by hard lalair for over forty years, lately became a mono maniac on money, proliably fmm reading the press notices relating to the large amounts of funds embezzled by bank officers and treasurers of corporation. He thought that his money was not sate out of his ais sessiitn. and that the flunk would 1st- stolen from him.

He placed his money iu the same, scaled it so as to maks it air ami water-tight, anil then dug upni his premises, lisatioli not known, a large spiu-e over 2U feet dt-ep, laid stone ami brick embankments, firmly ce mented the hohs, and dcjaisitcd his treasure box.

Cbaki.ks-toii. September 24. There was no earthquake shiak here to-day. but the fears of nervous -ron itave been greatly excited by alartniiig report fmm Sumnierville. where, it is said, two distinct vibration were felt . - G. B. Newonnib, an employe of the North western Railway Conijwiiy. reports that the foliage on many of the trees in the neighbor IhkkI of Ten-Mile Hill has been killed by tlie water which spouted up from the sand cra ters on the night of tlie earthquake. He ex amined the country immediately east of the railmod track for a distance of half a mile and found it badly torn up by fissures. One of the rent seemed to extend acre the whole an, being four feet wi.le at some idace and marked at intervals by hole fmm which water had evidently siamied. The foliage on many of the young pine trees in the neighlairhoial had la-cn w ithcred and killed by the water. One of the great evils that have followed in the train of the recent calamity is tlie in flux of large numbers of idle negna.- from the surrounding country. They have been attracted by the hope of free rations. and they lounge about the streets in gmtips. But few of them are willing to work. -A striking il lustration of this aversiou to labor wais given liwlay. A crowd of the bummers was ap pmached by s man w ho announced kit he wanted some laborer and asked if any of I hem w auled to work. One of the rmwd baikcd up lazily and remarked : "How much dia-s you caikellate to pay ? ' " What wages do you want?" " Dollar' n a half." replied the negro. " All right come along eight of you," said the man, thinking that he had secured his men. Only one mall fol lowed him. The other sat quietly on the sidewalk and went on scowling and "look ing ou." A Strange Tragedy. Kky Wkst, Fla., Sept. 2.'v.. A singular story reaches here from a charcoal camp on Pine Key. Day before yestenlay, a man named Ciaqa-r visited lainaldson's camp, when the latter asked him to return a knife which he had lairrowed a few days la-fore. Caia-r threw it on the fliair, saying: "There it is." Doiialsou' picked it up and walked alsmt twenty feet fmm camp, when without any warning Cai-r shot him in the hack, and when he fell he ntu up to him saying : " You aim tk-ad. I'll finish you." " Doiialsou Issggisl fir his lite, and Caia-r left, saying: " Lie there ami slitter am! die." OaiaT then re-liaidetl his douhhsbarrcieil gnu w ith buckshot and went to tlie camp of Bain and Hunter. Bain was cooking in front of his tent, w hen, w ithout any warn ing, be was shot iu tlfe Ikiwi-Is. tearing out his cutmiis. Bain cried out : " Why did you shiait tne? Did 1 ever harm you '.' Caia-r ansft'cnsl : "No, I only sltut you to plca.se my own mind." Ciaiper again loadtsi his gun and went to the front of the tent when Hunter, who w as inside, attempted to run, but was shot through the heart and instantly kilieil. A limn named Carey, who was out in a laxu. heard the shots and came ashore, when Ciaie cr ran him into the woiaU. He went down to tlie iamp of some other men. and came luck with them and hmught the dead and Wounded men to Key West. Cooper left in a I mat . A reward of sl is olicred for the rapture of the murderer. Another account states that Ciai'a-r mine lo Pine Key fmm the Bahama Islands and entered a homestead, from which for months iast the men he killed have la-cn trying to drive him, in onler to secure it for them selves. D-s-aTH!.oii, caused by the la-rsis-teniy of their alleged ja-rsecutioii, is given as the cause of the tragedy by the account. Sixty Days in Jail. Il tKHisBl no, fs-pt. i.'.
