WKAK TKKASURY VAULTS
A DANGER THAT THREATENS THE
MILLIONS OF THE UNITED STATES.

lion.—A Carefully Guaided Secret-
Fear of the ontclals.
Six hunured and ninety-one millions
of dollars!
A sum sufficient to abash a Monte
Cristo and to make King Midas turn
green with envy.
This is the amount, within a few pal¬
try humhede of thousands, one way or
the otlif r, for w hich United States Treas¬
urer Nebekcr will sign a necipt lohis
predecessor, Col. Huston. Tuanuiti
Nebeker is already in office, but ex-
Treasurer Husion is still responsible for
this sum, and be will continue to be re¬
sponsible until every dollar of it 1ms
been counted and :ouud to be correct.
A targe force of meu have hi en at work
in the vaults of the United States Treas
ury for three weeks, and lheir nuge task
will keep them busy for at least a month
onger.
The startling fact about the presence
of this glittering mass of wealth in the
United States Treasury is that it is in
daily aud nightly danger from burglars.
The danger is so real that special vig¬
ilance is exercised by the armed Treas¬
ury watch, who patrol its corridors ami
watch its portals every moment of every
hour in 1 he twenty- four. The danger is
so real that Mr. Huston was unable to
sleep because of his nervous sense of re¬
sponsibility. The danger is so rod that
officials of the Treasury Department
dread to have it made known, lest the
attention of expn t cracksmen be direct¬
ed to the opportunity that invites their
skill. The danger is so real that the
count of the money now going on is con¬
ducted under the scrutiny of specially
appointed watchmen and sentinels, and
with a caution against the admission of
visitors never equalled.
WHERE- THE MONEY IS HELD.
These hundreds of millions of dollars
in the keeping of the Treasurer of the
United States are held in eight principal
vaults. One, known as the great silver
vault, contains about $91,000,000 in sil
ver dollars and fractional silver. An¬
other, adjoining it, contains 59,600,000
silver dollars, and $26,000,000. Another
vault contains $220,1X10,000of bonds held
as security for national bank circulation.
Another, known as the “reserve” vault,
contains $290,000,000 in paper money,
held as a reserve to replace worn and
mutilated notes. Besides these, three
other vaults hold respectively, $3,000,-
000 in national I*mk notes received for
redemption ; $5,000,000 or so of mixed
moneys received day by day for redemp¬
tion, and $2,000,000 in mixed money
used in the daily business of the depart¬
ment.
Glittering figures these. And now for
the dangers that, menace them.
THE VAULTS COULD BE OPENED.
During the long session of the last
Congress Treasurer Huston became un¬
easy about the condition of these eight
vaults, and he sent to New York for an
expert to examine them. The expert
looked the vaults over and smiled.
“Why,” he said, “the best of these
vaults can be opened in a jiffy.” To
prove his startling assertion, the expert
locked Treasurer Huston and two of his
clerks in one of the best and strongest
vaults in Ihe department. The Treas¬
urer and his companion sat there shiver¬
ing and half stifled in the darkness
amidst the millions, but not for long.
In fourteen minutes the great door
swung open and let in upon them a flood
of light. The expert had pried back the
lock with ease. The marks of the jim¬
my that he used in this experiment are
still to be seen at the edge of the door of
tbe vault, although they have been cov¬
ered witli black paint.
Then the expert led Treasurer Huston
to another of his strong boxes. This
yault is built of masonry and steel. The
expert produced a drill such as would be
used by a mere apprentice in the art of
safe-cracking, and in just eight seconds
had perforated the wall of the vault near
the lock of the door, so that a small
charge of powder, such as would make
scarcely any detonation at all, would
have blown it open.
THE TREASURER’S EXPERIMENT.
At these revelations Treasurer Huston
turned pale, He had the hole drilled
into the wall of the safe by the expert
filled witli steel, and then he applied to
Congress for an appropriation to provide
the old-fashioned vaults with modern
protection. He made his application to
tbe House committee on appropriations.
The committee heard his statement in
.«cre.t session and were so impressed by
the facts as he set them forth as prompt¬
ly to report an appropriation which was
discreetly pushed through the House
without debate. The appropriation
JASPER, PKKENS (<)., UA., THURSDAY, JULY l<>, 1891.
failed, however, to pace the Senate be¬
cause it was hinted at the time of the
jerlousy of rival safe manufacturers.
Meantime, Treasurer Huston grew
more and more nervous. The thought
of the millions thus in danger of attack
caused lnm one night to get out of lied,
doss and go to the gloomy Treasury
budding. The Armed watchman pacing
up and down before tlie entrance recog¬
nized him and let him |>ass.
Col. Huston hurried along the echoing
corridor and climbed the interior stair¬
case to his office- There he substituted
a i-air of sliojjers for his shoes and crept
back into the corridor for a tour of in¬
spection. He feared that even then
some pupil of Jimmy Hope might be at¬
tacking Uncle Sam’s vaults.
Stealthily, warily, Mr. Huston cient
along the corridor. His slippered feet
made no echo, and he fsneied himself
unobserved. He said to himself: “I will
put this haunting danger to a practical
test. I will ree whether 1 can teacha
vault and stay there long enough to open
it as the expert did, undetected.”
Ihe ex-Treasurer, who is a man of
slender build, and wirey, elastic frame,
came to a corner of the corridor and
turned it. As he did so a stalwart fig¬
ure confronted him. “Who are you !
.Stand 1” were the startling words that
met, Mr. Huston’B ears, while at the
same time the cold muzzle of a revolver
was pressed against his forehead.
AT THE POINT OF A PISTOL.
The nervous Treasurer, startled by t tie
sudden apparition and thrilled by the
touch of the cold steel, sprang backward
as far as a long Indiana leap could carry
him. Then, seeing the level pistol trained
u|)on him, and recognizing that his
questioner wore a watchman's l adge.be
recovered his dignity and said haughtily;
“I am the Treasurer of the United
States.”
The watchman was at his side in an
instant, and again the muzzle of the re¬
volver was pressed to Huston’s skull.
“Ycu are the Treasurer, are you ?” said
the incredulous watchman, “Well,
.-you, I’ll soon find out who you
arc.” With that the watchman led the
unresisting captive, who feared every
second that the pistol might end his anx¬
iety with a bullet through the brain, to
the side of the corridor, and touched an
electric button.
Far, far away could be heard the ring
of tbe answering bell, and speedily the
watchman and the frightened Treasurer
were surrounded by other men, all
armed with big revolvers. : Identification
and release followed, The Treasurer
continued his stroll in slippered feet,
only again to be “field up” at the muzzle
of another watchman’s revolver. Then
Treasurer Huston returned to his bed
and slept. He could find no fault with
the watchman who had arrested him,
and his mind was easier.
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
Tlie Fierce County Ravi.her Lynched at,
Black,shear.
Brunswick, Ga., July 9.— Tied to a
tree and riddled with bullets—that, was
the program of a lynching at Blackshear
last night. Robert Browne, colored, was
the subject acted upon. The story of
Brown’s assault on the persons of Mrs.
O’Barry and her daughter of Race Pond,
a small hamlet near Blackshear, has
been published, and those who read the
tale were convinced that justice would
never be meted out to him by law, nor
would the lawyers get an opportunity
of pleading his innocence or guilt before
a jury.
When Sheriff Davis secured Brown
after his capture, he was several 4 rues
threatened with violence by de 82 >erate
men, unless he turned his prisoner over
to their care. Sheriff Davis and his charge
had to pass through Waycioss, and
here, by a fine piece of stategy, the sher¬
iff eluded the crowd, and passed on his
way unnoticed, Locking Brown se-
curely in his cell, the sheriff returned
to his home and, worn out with his ride,
was soon asleep.
Baffled at their attempt to get Brown
at Way cross, the angry ^pl 0 of Kace
Pond and the surrounding country
formed into a silent mob and started for
Blackshear. Arriving there, fifty {of
the mob crept up to the sheriff’s home,
effected an entrance to his room, and,
with a grand push, nailed his prostrate
form to the bed. The sheriff fought for
his keys, but was overpowered, aDd
while some still held him others made
for the jail, unlocked tbe outer and cell
doors and dragged the doomed negro
forth.
His piteous cries for mercy were
drowned in the louder cries for ven¬
geance that issued from the throats of
the mob, ana in a few minutes he was
bound tightly to a convenient tree near
the jail. Stepping back from the tree
the mob leaders gave the word to fire,
and a volley of bullets poured out of
Winchester rifles, shotguns and revol¬
vers, and soon ended the life of their
victim. Blackshear is excited and the
better class of people condemn the mob’s
action in strong terms.
WR SKKK TIIK REWARD OF HONEST LABOR
HE CUT A DASH.
Wnlim S. Hcre.foru, a ttuppomul Lorrt Bi»r-
row* Money Hiul SmpN Out.
Home, Ga., July 9.— During Feb¬
ruary last Waller 8. IJeresford, of
Herefordshire, England, as he claim¬
ed, arrived in Home. Ho made it
known that ho was a second son of
a certain Lord JBeresford, of Here¬
fordshire, England, who was soul to
invest £50,000, and consequently he
cut quite a dash. Ho was gay aud
debonair, with a Business bearing
and dignified air, and he carried a
high hand among society people.
He whs wined ami dined by the best
people here and in Atlanta he was
entertained by Ihe Adairs.
The Hamiltons, one of the first
families in this part of the country,
gave credence to his claims as a
gentleman because he had letters
trom a Mr. Se delton, formerly of
Atlanta, but at the time of London.
The Hot. Mr. Beresford, as hecalieil
himself, weeded quite a big row
here and purchased options largely
on certain real estate in the neighs
borhood.
Alter forming the acquaintance of
the Hamiltons, he became or tried to
become, a particular friend of
Harjior Hamilton, and on one occa¬
sion tie mentioned that he was short
of change and had the firm of Ham¬
ilton & Co., lo honor his drafts on
Ihe Westminster Bank of London,
England, for £200- Immediately
alter securing the amount in Ameri¬
can money he disappeared and the
Hamiltons put detectives and officers
o t the law on the trail.
Sunday night Sheriff' Moore re¬
ceived a telegram from Inspector
Byrnes of New York to the effect
that the Hon. Mr. Beresford whh in
custody. This morning at 7 o’clock,
witli proper papers, Harper Hamil¬
ton and Deputy Sheriff Dallas Tur¬
ner left for New York, and they will
bring the young man hack.
This afternoon about 5:80 A. S.
Hamilton received a telegram from
New York, saying:
“Bereslord got a habeas corpus this
morning. Hearing to-morrow at 10.
Requisition papers here for him.
Wire at once the hour sheriffleaves
Rome. T. J. McGuire.
T. J. MiGuire is the man who
came here with Beresford, so Col. S.
B. Hamilton said.
Beresford weeded a big row
through Georgia, and if reports are
to he believed other states have suf¬
fered- Beresford personally is a nice
feilow, and would be apt to deceive
one, and his course through Georgia
and several other states proves that.
He will find a warm welcome when
he comes back to Rome.
Ownership ot the flxcliange.
Ati anta. Ga., July 9—A [imminent
alliance member of tlie legislature here
to-nignt, is responsible for a statement
that Ihe Georgia Farmers’Alliance Ex¬
change is owned now by a party of
northern capitalists. He is convinced
f urther that this is true of other and
[lerliaps all the state t xc hanges of th
Southern States, the same party con
trolling all of them. This statemen
cannot he verified to-night, hut the au¬
thority quoted is reliable.

to-night, having been towed in by tbe
oil tank steamship Chester, assisted
by several tugs.
Hhe came to anchor below Bedlow’s

time of the accident.
Rl<l« of the Life Guards.
London, July 9.—After a late break-
fast with Queen Victoria, Emperor
William drove to tbe park where he
critically watched the musical ride of
the Life Guards, a most skillful eques¬
trian performance. The Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the
Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, the Duke of
Connaught and Prince Henry of JBat-
tenberg, all in brilliant, uniforms, and
the Princess of Wxles, Princess Bea¬
trice, Princess Victoria of Wales and
the Duchess of life joined the young
emperor in watching the ride. The
exhibition provoked the greatest ad¬
miration on the part of the emperor,
who was very enthusiastic over it, say-
ing that it was one of the finest milita-
ry spectacles that he had ever seen.
RETURN OF THE ITATA-

lUNIItiNNHl,
Los Angeles, Cai.,, July u.—Judge
Rohr, of the United States circuit court,
yesterday dismisHcd the libel on the
schooner Robert and Minnie, which was
seized in connection with the Itata ep¬
isode. The schooner loaded at Ban
Francisco with ammunition for the
Chilean insurgents, which was trans¬
ferred at Ban Clemente to the steamer
Itata and taken to Iquique. Judge
Ross in his decision says lliatwhilethe
fact alleged may be good reason for
confiscating the Itata, there is nothing
to * show that the schooner was fitted
out for the purposes of war, and hence
The libel is dismissed. Commander
Miguel Tornad, of the Itata, to day offi¬
cially notified tne federal authorities
that through the agency of Admiral
McCann, of the United States navy, he
had returned to be tried for leaving
the port of Ban Diego, March 6, with¬
out the necessary permission.
disappointment AT WASHINGTON.
W ashington, July 7.—The decision
of Judge Ross’ court yesterday, dis¬
missing the libel against the schooner
Robert and Minnie, which vessel sup¬
plied arms to the Itata, was a great
surprise to ilie officials in Washington.
It was generally believed that, the case
against her was much stronger than
that which could be made out. against
the Itata, and notwithstanding the
reservation made by r Judge Ross in his
decision, it is felt that his action will
cause the failure of the original libel
lodged against the Chilean vessel,
although she may still be held on,
some technical charge connected with
her escape while under legal deten¬
tion. This outcome would be a severe
disappointment to the state and navy
department officials after an expendi¬
ture. direct and indirect, in the chase
of the Itata, that is estimated to run
up closely in the neighborhood of
$100,000.
THE TTATA ORDERED LIBELED.
A telegram was received at. the de¬
partment. of justice to-day from Unit¬
ed States Marshal Gard at 8a.n Diego,
Oal., Hiking instructions as to his course
in regard to the seized Chilean steamer
Itata. The acting Attorney General
telegraphed United States Attorney
Cole, at San Diego, to libel the vessel
at, once and turn her over to the Unit¬
ed States marshal by due process of
law. By special arrangement, with the
navy department the vessel was trans¬
ferred to the custody of the civil au¬
thorities to-dav.
LOOKING AI TERMINALS
President H. B. Plant, ol the Plant, Sys¬
tem Here.
Savannah, July 0,—President,H.
B. Plant, the head of the great rail¬
road system that bears his name, is
in the city. He arrived in his spec
ial car from Charleston at 3:30 o’clock
yesterday afternoon. A visit from
him in midsummer is something
unusual and all kinds of rumors are
afloat as to the cause of his coming.
Mr. Plant, however, never tells his
business, but that he is not on pleas-"
ure bent is quite evident.
Doubtless Mr. Plant’s real reason
for his southern trip is to take steps
to meet the extraordinary demand
that has all of a sudden been made
upon tbe resources of the Plant sys¬
tem by the rapidly developing phos¬
phate industries. Two steamships
are now loading at this port with
Florida phosphates, and doubtless
more are expected. Mr. Plant, soo
after his arrival yesterday, In conns
pany with C’apt. R. G. Fleming,
auperintendant of the Savannah
Florida and Western railway; C. 8.
Gadsden, superintendent of the
Charleston and Savannah railway;
and Mr. C. D. Owens, traffic man¬
ager of the Plant system; visited the
extensive wharve,s of the company,
to look into matterslncident to mak¬
ing improvements to accommodate
this new source of wealth—the phos¬
phates of Florida.
Mr. Plant was called on by Mayor
McDonough and Col. J. H. Estil.
The mayor inyited him to be the
city’s guest on Thursday and go
down the liver with himself, the
aldermen, Capt. O. M. Carter ol the
United States engineer corps, and
other gentlemen, to see what iB lie-
ing dono in improving the harbor.
Mr. Plant said he would tie very
glad to go and accepted the invita¬
tion without hesitation. He ex¬
pressed himself very strongly in the
matter of getting a large appropria¬
tion ho as to eive Savannah all the
water her growing importance de^
mands. He was particularly anx-
ious to know what the people are
doing to secure an additional appro¬
priation, something like that given
to Galveston. Up thought if all
pulled together the city conkl get
everything it waked for.
Tliougli Mr. Plant haa iteen ideuti-
lied with one of Savannah’s great
railways for many yeara, this is the
first, opportunity he has had of ars
ceptingany attentions from the city’s
people. He has always l>een too
busily engaged in business.

of Their Exhibit.
Washington, July 9.— The colored
members of the bar, of the press, of the
Equal Rights League, and various
other colored men’s c rganizations of
the District of Columbia, held meet¬
ings to-day and at each of them the
following resolutions, offered by Judge
R. A. Dawson, were adopted for pres¬
entation to the board of control of the
World’s Fair to-morrow:
“The election of Hon. James M.
Townsend, at present recorder of the
general land office, as chief of the bu¬
reau for the collection of exhibits on
behalf of the Afro-Americans of the
United States, showing their progress
since emancipation, twenty-five years
ago, in arts, science, mechanical and
industrial pursuits, would meet not
only the approval of the colored citi¬
zens of the District of Columbia, but
in our judgment tbe entire country.
“We ask that this recommendation
be immediately acted on favoiably, in
order that the present unrest among
the people of our race may be satisfied
and assured that in the great world’s
exposition recognition will be given to
the 8,000,000 negroes in an official and
proper way.”

liiiMlnAMfi Tim a* and IvchMoiugh Wrecked.
Baton Rough, La., July 9.—A cyclone
passed over the lower portion of the
town this morning, unroofing houses,
tearing up immense trees, and carrying
missiles along in the air for many blocks.
The governor’s mansion was directly in
the path of the hurricane, which made
a clean sweep of every chimney and
cleared the front of its large trees. The
roof of the handsome residence belong¬
ing to Mr. Marshall was carried away,
and large damage done to his. place. The
boulevard is one mass of trees that have
been torn up by the wind, and the street
is filled with pieces of house tops and
other timbers of almost every descrip¬
tion. The penitentary walls were blown
down, ten persons killed and thirty
wounded. The loss is very great. The
factory building was demolished and
the hospital of the penitentiary is a
mass of debris.
New Orleans, La., July 8.— The
Picayune’s Baton Rouge special says:
“A terrible cyclone struck this city a
little after 6 o’clock this morning, pass¬
ing from southwest to northeast. It en¬
tered the city at the Oraig brick yard,
[lassed up through Catfish town, and
struck the hill just to the east of John
Johnson’s residence. Its path continued
ia a northeasterly direction,crossing the
north boulevard 100 yards to the east of
the governor’s mansion. It then went
north, striking the penitentiary building
and J. A. Dougherty’s residence on
North street and then lieyond the city.
The cyclone was 800 yards wide and
ricochetted along its course like a cannon
hall, devastating as it went.
In the city no one was killed, though
several jiersons were seriously injured.
The state penitentiary is partially
wrecked. Ten convicts were killed and
thirty-five injured. Five of these are
dangerously hurt.
The; convicts were at work in the
trousers factory in third story of the
north wing, when the storm struck the
building and entirely demolished the
second and third stories,
others in the hoapita*
story and it is a mir
with their lives.
John R. Hodus, on*
openftig was sitting in the third r WuIUUW
to the south, wh^ri he was
blown out Into the yard along with
bricks and other debris. He escaped un¬
hurt.
Ex-Judge E. T. Ford was in the com¬
missary on the first floor when the build¬
ing collapsed. He says he got near the
Wall and stood still, muttering a prayer,
he felt his hour had come. When the
materials quit failing he saw an o|ening
and escaped on his hands and knees into
the yard uninjured. He immediately
went to work to save and tA assist the ,
others less fortunate. In addition to the
north wing the cell building was un¬
roofed and partially destroyed.
The woman’s ward was also unroofed.
It is impossible to form any estimate
of the damage to buildings, as all the
property is more or less damaged. In
the city fifty houses at least were un¬
roofed or destroyed.
