MONEY IN PORK.
Jn This Instance, However, the Porker
Had Swallowed It.
| From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
ew Castle, Nov. 20.—Early in the fall
John Sterritt, a farmer residing a short
distance from the city, missed a pocket
-300 ontaining about $33. He looked all
around the farm for it, and at last came
I? conclusion that a boy employed on
| farm had stolen It. The boy was ac-
C but stoutly denied his guilt, but so
Positive was Mr. Sterritt that the boy was
jot telling the truth that he discharged
mm.
Yesterday Farmer Sterritt and two or
dm,* men butchered a lot of hogs at the
farm. Judge of their surprise
' i* n they found in the stomach of one of
no animals the missing pocketbook. The
m>n*.y was in good condition. There was

The Trouble Made by Those Who Are
Afraid of Banks
From the Philadelphia Press.
T\ hen you see a man wearing a thread
bare suit of clothes and looking like a
farmer or a poorer or more careless
person, as far as personal appearance is
concerned, you should not set him down
for a poor man without further consid
eration. He might, for all you may know
to the contrary, have a belt around his
waist, beneath his clothing, containing
a fortune in bonds, diamonds or other
pleasing things to have. This is one way
men have of concealing their money for
fear of being robbed of it by the banks
and the wily confidence man.
Once burned, twice shy,” is an old say
ing which is characteristic of many peo
ple, and as true as gospel. To many men
or means half the world is composed of
people, both male and female, who stand
ready to get from him his money by foul
means, while the other half are on the
watch to get away with it by what they
call dealings, but it may' not always be
characterized as such. Your rich man
never dresses in the height of fashion, nor
does he make any loud display of his
wealth. You will look in vain for a man
of wealth who makes any exhibition of
it upon his person, for history fails to re
cord any such, and if you will think them
over ~those whom you have met and
those who have been pointed to you—you
will agree that it is generally the fel
low with an empty purse who wears the
best raiment, displays the gaudiest col
ors, and sports the loudest and most
costly jewelry.
And why is this so? In most cases of
wealthy men it is because of a refined
taste in the wearer, but I have concluded
that together with this praiseworthy re
finement invariably goes a fear cf being
taken advantage of or being brought into
notoriety. I state what I know for a fact
when I say that the millionaire dry goods
merchant, Alexander T. Stewart of New
York, for years before his death, was in
constant fear of being kidnapped and held
for ransom. I think he w’as not far away
from the facts. The stealing of his body
from the grave seemed to prove his fear
W’ell founded, and there is no doubt that
he had been warned in time and took the
precaution of avoiding secluded places
and never went out into the street with
out an attending detective at his heels. He
seldom rode in his carriage in town—his
dress was of the simplest character and
he never wore jewelry of any kind. With
out exception, it is the fear of being robbed
or taken advantage of, in one way or an
other. that causes people with money to
hide it in out-of-the-way places, where
they can have an eye upon the hiding
places, and, if suspicious interference with
It, turn it ox'er and ascertain without de
lay if it is all there.
Your grandparents used to hide away
their money in an old • teapot
which was placed out of way, on top of
the china closet, you remember. You have
read in the newspapers tmes without num
ber of bank notes being found within the
covers of old family Bibles, in the toes of
old shoes, sewed up in the linings of old
clothes, buried in the cellar, hidden in
the hollows of trees, placed between the
mattresses of beds, laid away under car
pets, in secret compartments of old desks
and bureaus and in a thousand othr un
expected places where people are not sup
posed to suspect its hiding place. Any
where will do so long as It is an unfrequent
ed spot or an article not in use. The bro
ken teapot has always been a favorite
savings bank for the farmer and his wife,
as well as for many others, because it has
lost its usefulness, excepting as a remind
er of the past and for its fading beauty.
"Eccentric people,” he styled them, a de
tective who had been called upon a thou
sand times to aid in the search for hidden
trasurs supposed to have been left by men
and women who had departed this life with
out giving any sign of this secret hiding
placs of their possessions.
’.‘Why eccentric?” 1 asked, not a little sur
prised at this denomination of a peculiar
people.
“Eccentric,” he replied, "because they
did not seek the aid of such a sav
ings bank, or not seek the aid of such an
asylum as a safety deposit vault of a gtod
solid savings bank, or the lasting deeds to
real estate, for the security of their wealth.
I have no patience with such people, al
though they have made a fortune for me
by their eccentricities. Some forty or fifty
years ago there was more of this secret
ing money in strange nooks and corners
than there is now, but it is still going on,
and it will always go on as long as the
world lasts among ignorant and timorous
people who want to have their wealth
where they can just get a look at it oc
casionally, only to know that it is all
there and safe and sound. You would be
surprised if you knew as much as you
might about the hiding of momy ; It is
right after the banks break that toe old
stockings and teapots are brought into
requsition.” . . - _
“Have you any method in searching for
hidden wealth?”l asked of the detective.
"You cannot have any set method, he
replied, "but there have been many cases
that came under my observation similar
in their circumstances. Set methods are
onlv liable to defeat the end in 'lew.
Mv manner of work must depend wholly
un'on the circumstances and the character,
habits and surroundings of the huler of

vtnced me that his money was not se
creted anywhere about the house, but
that in some place about his person he
had hidden the property, and perhaps hid
den in his clothing I would find it. I asked
for his clothing and was informed that it
was of the oldest possible kind, and his
wife remarked that she could not get him
to wear anything new or decent. When 1
asked to see his old clothing the family
told me that they had been all through
it with knitting-needles, torn out the lin
ings. and finding nothing after what they
considered a thorough search, they had
given the rags away. But I had formed
my theory of the. case from two facts,
namely, that of his having been a sailor
and able to use needle and thread, and
that he clung so tenaciously to his old
clothing, not being a miser. 1 insisted
upon the clothes being brought back, and
to the astonishment of the family when I
ripped off the wide bindings of the coat
and vest I showed them the wealth they
had searched for in vain, neatly folded
and securely hidden. There were four
SIO,OOO bonds tightly creased and wrapped
around with oiled silk.
“I would give more for a good guess
than for any systematic method or a cut
and-dried plan to work on. It is a prac
tice wdth criminals to hide their money
and valuables as far away from their
homes and persons as possible, and it of
ten happens that young people and mid
dle-aged countrymen do the same—but
when a man arrives at the sere and yel
low of age he always conceals his valua
bles near his abiding place. I will tell you
of another instance in proof of the latter
assertion.
“More than thirty years ago l was called
to a house in Orange county, N. Y., at the
request of the heirs, too look for the
money of a deceased man. I could not
find any distinguishing characteristics
about the man, and, after trying several
clews for a week and failing all through,
I grew tired of the search and began to
doubt his having left after him anything
of value. We had ripped open his saddle
split open the soles and heels of his boots,
and pulled all to pieces his clothing and
the upholstering of the furniture. We had
torn up the stone of the hearth and ripped
down the wainscoting and even the back
boards of all the picture frames had been
taken out by us. There was not a tree on
the place vrhich had not suffered from
digging completely round Its roots. There
was a large reward and I could not afford
to lose it, although I was at my wits’ end.
“In order to settle my mind at this junc
ture I took a horse and wagon, and as I
started upon a drive the brother of the de
ceased said to me that I would find the
place well laid out, for his dead brother
had surveyed it. This remark opened my
eyes and led me to believe that after all,
the man had not secreted his money in the
house, nor in the barn, to which he sel
dom had gone. I concluded that he would
not have used roots of trees or even stones
for hiding places if he knew how to sur
vey. I deferred my drive and went into
the house and asked where the deceased
had been in the habit of sitting. I learned
that, like all old men, he had a favorite
chair, I learned also that this chair was
always placed by him at a certain win
dow'. The brother remarked, as I ap
proached the window, that they had pulled
it all to pieces and found nothing there.
“I got the brother to ait down in the
chair and looked in the direction which
the deceased generally took, and found
that he had constantly kept In sight of
an old, used-up pump. 1 learned that
when he walked out he went straight to
the pump and then made a bee line for
the pond. I had the pump taken up and
we dug dowm deep beside it, but found
nothing. I then returned to the room and
stood at the window. It was a happy
thought to search the window sill care
fully, for I found there a faint and pe
culiar mark. It was a serveyor’s point.
I lined it up to the pump and measured
the exact center of the line. At a depth
of four feet we found a two-inch steam
pipe. Both ends were plugged, ami con
cealed within was the fortune of that man
in bonds and certificates of stocks and
bills to a great amount. For my ser
vices in that case I carried away a SSOO
bill.
“This case was soon followed by a
search for $32,000, which a paralytic had
in his hand a few moments before his
death, which had occurred like a stroke
of lightning,” continued the detective.“ B
efore I was called in the family, as usual,
had made a thorough and exhaustive
search, as they supposed, and left me only
the house turned upside down and all
traces destroyed. In this dilemma I
I sought the doctor, and told him my
trouble. He suggested an examination
of the body. I did this and found a mark
on his hip which had been made by the
metal edge of some household utensil,
an indentation from the edge being plainly
marked. There was also a bruise upon
his knee. I concluded that he had fallen,
clutching the money, over some metal
vessel, and expired, as he was found upon
the floor.
“But there was no article fitting the
theory in the room. The people who had
preceded me in the search declared that
there was nothing of the kind in the
room at the time of death. Still, I felt
that T was on the right track, and after
a look around the house I found an old
coal hod in the cellar, and among the
rubbish In it was the prize 1 was In
search of. This simple Job netted me
$5,000.”
DUEL OF ANTE-BELLUM DAYS.
ZolHcoffer’a Street Encounter With a
Fiery Opponent.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The celebrated duel between Zollicoffer
and Marling, editors of rival political
papers, was fought in Nashville, Tenn.,
Aug. 20, 1852. The subsequent prominence
of the participants, the coolness displayed,
the high courage and delicacy of honor
revealed during the blood-stained con
test have given an interest, a fascina
tion to it that makes it one of the most
noted duels of ante-bellum days.
The story of that duel was told to a
Courier-Journal reporter by the only wit
ness that is now living—Judge James T.
Bell of Nashville. At that time he was
a boy In Zolllcoffer's office. Judge Bell
gives details which lend a charm to the
story which he thus related.
The duel was between Zollicoffer, then
edllor of the Banner, and John L. Marling,
editor of the Nashville Union. The Ban
ner was the state organ of the Whig par
ty. The I'nlon occupied the same relation
to the Democratic party. Zollicoffer and
Marling were bitter opponents. Their tac
tics were different, but their opposition
was alike intense. Marling was a self-made
man. He had risen from the typo's stool
to the tripod. Ambitious, of course; that
was the keystone of his success; dressy
to a nicety, affable and gentlemanly, hut
his eye could gleam with a dangerous
light, and men had never seen him quail.
Zollicoffer has passed Into history. His
traits arc well known. He was unique.
Ills nerves were Iron; he never grew
excited; was austere, yet generous; quiet
In manner, yet lion-hearted. He had hut
one lung, and 1 believed he trulned him
self to keep cool In order to preserve hie
health.
"Now, as to the duel It grew directly
out of a controversy about the site of a
bridge across the Cumberland. That was
the 'natch, but Ihe powder luy In their
Inherent rivalry, which was ready at any
moment to cause an explosion.
"Mailing. In an editorial, boldly charged
that Zollicoffer was bribed to write as he
did I’uople who klt'W the men felt that
trouble wua imminent. I saw an early
• opy of the I'nlon, and went direct to
the ottP e of the Baum r I watched for
Mr. Zollltoffer. About UJ o'clock he

came in. He was as cool as I ever saw
him. He sat down at his desk, and turn
ing to me, said; “Jimmie, I've stood
enough from Marling. You know that I
tried to avoid a difficulty, but I can’t
stand it any longer. Go and tell Matt
Brown that I want to see him.'
"Naturally enough Zollicoffer sought a
Whig for his counsellor. 1 went after
Mr. Brown and brought him to the office.
Zollicoffer removed a cigar from his lips,
shook hands with Mr. Brown artd said;
"Matt, go to Marling and tell him that
at 10 o'clock I will be in front of his office
to denounce him.’
“A little after 9 o’clock I saw Mr. Zolli
coffer pick up his hat and leave the of
fice. He said no-t a word. I watched
him. He went over to the east side
of the public square to the city hotel,
where he boarded, and asked his wdfe for
his pistql. It was an old powder and
ball weapon. It had been loaded some
time, and she w'anted to reload it. He
told her that it was useless, put it In his
hip pocket, and, after slipping a few caps
in his right vest pocket, he left. He came
back down Deadertck street to Cherry,
walked down this way until he reached the
front of the brick where Judge Brien has
his law office. He stopped. 1 was stand
ing at the coiner of Deadertck and Cherry
watching him like a hawk.
"The clock struck 10; it sounded to me
like a funeral knell. 1 looked across the
street and saw Marling standing just ut
the foot of the stairway leading from
the editorial rooms to the street. He
was dressed, as was then the style, in a
navy blue coat with brass buttons, and
In light pants, tailor-mude, of course.
Ready-made clothing was not fashionable
then. Zollicoffer afterwards told me that
at his first shot he aimed at the highest
brass button on Marling’s coat, but at
the second shot his antagonist had
changed positions, and he had to fire at
his head.
"Marling was in full view of Zollicoffer.
They' looked at each other a moment. Zol
licoffer broke the silence, by shouting to
Marling; ‘I came here to denounce you
as an infernal scoundrel,’ at the same time
drawing his pistol. As the words of In
sult fell from Zollicoffer’s lips I saw Mtirl
ing's hand drop like a flash to his hip
pocket, and in a second he had drawn
and fired. The ball went high, and broke
a pane of glass in the second story of
the house over Zo-llicoffer's head. No
other word was spoken.
"Zollicoffer extended his pistol, took de
liberate aim, and pulled the trigger—it
missed lire. Without moving out of his
tracks, he held the weapon close to his
face, looked Intently at it a moment, and
then passed It from his right to his left
hand, resting it obliquely over the left
wrist. With a deliberateness that could
not be exceeded if he was getting ready
to fire at an Inanimate target, he drew a
pin from the lapel of his coat and picked
into the tube of the pistol. He then looked
up at Marling, put his right hand into his
vest pocket, drew out a cap, blew away
the dust, put the new cap on the nipple
and was just in the act of raising the pis
tol the second time when I saw Marling
advance a pace, take quick aim, and fire.
He had quietly watched the removal of
the cap without offering to shoot. That
was courage in its highest form.
Marling’s second ball I afterw'ard found,
passed close to Zollicoffer’s head. Hardly
had the smoke of the second shot been
blown away ere 1 saw Zollicoffer, still
cool as an Iceberg, extend his pistol arm
and take deliberate aim. At the crack of
the weapon Marling staggered back. I ad
vanced and caught a glimpse of him.
Blood streamed all over his face; ho leaned
against the inner door facing; I thought
he was dying; I turned to Zollicoffer; his
face moved,not a muscle; his figure was
erect and rigid, his eye was fastened upon
the form of his rival and his pistol hung
at his right side.
"Marling recovered in a moment; he had
sunk, a y) I thought, to rise no more, but as
he reached his knees he braced himself
for one supreme effort. He slowly raised
his pistol, rested it on his left arm and
took aim. He halted a moment, passed his
hand over his face, as if to clear the blood
from his eyes, and then resumed the po
sition to shoot. Zollicoffer elevated his
pistol; at that moment Marling ilrcd his
third shot. As he did so I saw Zollicoffer’s
right hand Jerk up; the ball had struck
the guard and inflicted a slight wound on
one of his fingers. He lowered his weapon.
At that moment Marling fell over on his
face and Zollicoffer turned and walked up
Cherry street and to the Banner.”
“As he passed me I looked at his face. It
was unmoved. I followed him. A crowd
had gathered about Marling, who was, as
I thought, dead. Mr. Zollicoffer sent for a
physician and had his hand dressed. He
spoke but little. Marling was carried to
his room in what was thought to be a dy
ing condition. The ball hud entered Just
above the right eye, ranging outward and
breaking the skull. He lay at death’B door
for weeks, but finally appeared to he re
covered. But bis health was shattered,
and President Pierce sent him as consul to
Gautemala, not only as a reward for po
litical services, but in the hope that the
climate would revive him. It did not, how
ever, and he died there, and, as many
think, the Injury In the duel hastened his
death.
"No legal prosecution grew out of the
affair. Of Zollicoffer many know what be
came of him. His life was finally given
for his beloved confederacy. They were
two as game men as ever drew the breath
of life, and I never pass that spot that I do
not think of their tragic meeting.”
A Dog and Owl Fight.
Jackson. Mich., Nov. 17.—Two owls and
a dog fought here lust night In the pres
ence of ISO spectators, who paid $1.50 each
to see the fun. The arena was covered
with a wire network, and the two owls,
a male and a female, were placed In on>i
corner. Then the dog was put Into the
cage.
The male owl met him with a loud hoot
and a vigorous tight followed. The dog
dispatched the bird In four minutes and
ten seconds. It required eight minutes for
him to kill off the female bird. The Spec
tators Immensely enjoyed the sport.
"False one," he said, "would that I
never have wed you. Your teeth are
false, your complexion Is store made,
your hair Is another's. You are wholly
false”
"No, not wholly,” she replied "I have
a mind of my own. as you well know '
And he was forced to admit the bluer

AN IRON-CLAD COFFIN.
Only the Corpse Can Unlock This Check
To Grave Robbers.
From the Rochester Herald.
“What, burglar-proof cotfin!” put In
the newspaper man In open-mouthed won
der.
"Yes, it’s another wonder of this age of
invention,” responded the drummer; and
removing the straps from an extra large
grip he proceeded to place on exhibition
a miniature specimen.
From conversation with the drummer
it was learned that the invention had been
placed upon the market about tw*o months
ago The burglar-proof coffin Is made by
a New York firm and Its price Is consider
ably greater than that of the ordinary
metal casket, although It is by no means
exorbitant. The way It came to be manu
factured is a story bj| itself.
About three years ago there lived In
the metropolis tw o young actors on whom
fortune had dealt by opposites. One strug
gled for fame until he died of a broken
heart, w r hile his companion never bothered
his head on that score, being the heir to
a comfortable fortune. It was from this
fortune that the unfortunate’s funeral ex
penses were paid. The night following
the sad event ghoulH visited the cemetery
and removed the body. It was never re
covered, although the wealthy young man
exhausted his entire fortune in the search.
Then it became necessary for this firm
friend to retrieve his lost estate and he
cast about as to how best to accomplish
this.
Constantly his thoughts were upon his
dead friend. Perhaps it was this fact that
prompted his mind to an inventive turn,
for about a year ago he perfected the
burgler-proof coffin and Induced a large
manufacturing firm to take an Interest
in it. The young inventor unconsciously
"killed two birds wdth one stone,” as
the drummer put it, for “fortune has
again began to smile upon him and he has
put a spoke in the wheel of the grave
robber.”
The combined audacity of the Inventor,
the admirable nerve of the manfacturcr
and the almost blasphemous talk of the
enterprising drummer would cause a sen
sitive person seeing this peculiar piece of
funeral paraphernalia for the first time
to throw up his hands in holy hprror.
The coffin is made of boiler Iron, case
hardened, which forms an enamel that
cannot be penetrated by chisel or drill.
It Is put together with angle iron and flush
rivets. Inside are the locks, so constructed
with hooks and staples, with a spring
behind them, that when a pin is drawn
out from the outside the bolts spring
down and lock automatically and the
coffin is fastened so that it cannot be
opened from the outside. In recommend
ing his uncanny line of goods the drum
mer added:
"The only person who can unlock this
coffin is the person on the inside. There
is no doubt that many people are burled
alive, and in this remarkable invention
this fact is considered. There are two
styles—one for vaults, the other for
graves. The coffin to be placed In the
vault is equipped with torpedoes that can
be exploded from inside. The coffin to be
placed In the ground has attached a strong
spring and arm. In the case of a person
suddenly acquiring the notion that he
wishes to get out, he pushes the button
that explodes the small torpedo, and the
sexton speedily sets about releasing him.”
BIG EATERS.
A German Giant and His Sister Who
Had a Record.
From the Youth's Companion.
One of the odd characters described by
Gen. Thiebault In his memoirs is a young
man named Schmitz. "Big Schmitz" he
was commonly called on account of his
extraordinary physique— feet 2 inches in
bight, and enormously stout. He could
not ride in an ordinary carriage, and In
houses where he was accustomed to visit
special chairs were provided for him.
In the |iouse of Thlebault's father such
a chair was kept in the dining room, and
another In the parlor. Big Schmitz and a
companion were once driving to Berlin,
when their carriage broke down, and the
second man went to the nearest village
in quest of someone to repair It. Unhap
pily it was Sunday, and no one was will
ing to work.
In this dilemma the young man re
sorted to a trick. He said to the work
men;
"I am carrying to the king a giant. My
instructions are to let no one see him on
the way; but we must get to the city,
and If you will come out and repair the
carriage I will show him to you."
The workmen hastened to see the won
der, and so far as appears, were not dis
appointed when the "giant" was produced.
Gen. Thiebault declares that at the
table Schmitz was obliged to sit at an
angle; otherwise he could not get near
enough to It to reach his plate. It was
well understood, also, that In company he
must be put with the greatest eaters
and drinkers, so that he might eat some
thing like as much as he needed without
being put to shame. When he had his
own way he would sit at the table for
three or four hours.
He had a sister, who was also very
tall, and a prodigy with the knife ami
fork. Thlehault tells for true the story
that once on setting out for a drive a few
miles she put up Into the carriage a basket
containing sixty-four hurd-bolled eggs.
Having nothing else to do, she began to
nibble an egg, and at the end of the drive,
which could not have taken more than
an hour or two, she had eaten, without
drink of any kind, the whole sixty-four
eggs! And. according to the story, she was
not made sick!
