RECOGNIZED BY HIS SNORE.
How a Greensboro Citizen Mistook a
Hog For a flan.
A few nights ago a prominent citizen
of southwest Greensboro, came up
town and hunted up a policman. He
related to the officer how, when he
went out to his barn after dark he
found the door td the ground floor
partly ajar.
This was unusual, and the gentle
man approached cautiously and list
ened inWwtU-?) door. There was
HQ. sUtake afaoutife, there r & trtap.
asleep in his barn. He could hear
him snoring. He crept inside and
lighted a match. By its faint glimmer
he saw the dark form of the "tramp"
lying contentedly in the hay.
About this time the gentleman,
whose'name we withhold, felt a creep
ing, chilly sensation stealing over him
and he quietly withdrew and decided
to go for a policeman and have the
base intruder arrested.
The officer readily accompanied
him, and, with a lantern, entered the
barn to break the peaceful slumber of
the aforesaid vagrant, and to the
great surprise of the policeman and
chagrin of the man who heard the
snoring and actually saw the form of
a man, they found a two hundred
pound hog.

Hid His Savings in Books.
Mr. Deitrich Hoelscher, an old
bachelor, who taught the Lutheran
school at Black Jack for the past
thirty-seven years, died one day last
week. He had lived unostentatiously,
but as his salary had only been $30 a
month, out of which he had to pay $15
per month board, it was thought that
his estate comprised only his library
and a few articles of personal effect.
Henry Richterkessing was appointed
administrator, and yesterday he went
out to make an inventory of the be
longings of the deceased. While ex
amining a book in the library he acci
dently discovered some paper money
between the leaves. A further search
revealed paper, gold and notes
amounting to $1,500, which he had se
creted in books, behind pictures and
in various nooks and corners. Mr.
Hoelscher's only heir is a brother,
who lives in Venice, 111. St. Louis

DIGGING THROUGH GOLD.
A Find of Gold Ore on the Durham &
Charlotte Railway. (
On the new railway, the Durham &
Charlotte, which is now being built
through Moore county, what appears
to be a rich vein of gold ore was dis
covered a few 4ays ago. This find is
about one mile from the junction of
the Durham & Charlotte with the Car
thage & Western, and not more than
two miles from the Belle gold mine,
owned by Messrs. Harrison & Linton
Not many miles away is the famous Gold
Ragion in western Moorecounty, where
is located the Gold Hill, the Cagle
mine, and several others which have
already been worked more or less ex
tensively and profitably. The new vein
was discovered by a force of hands
who were digging through a hill, open
ing a cut for the roadway of the Dur
ham & Charlotte. It is on the land of
Rev. J. B. Richardson, of High Point,
formerly of Moore and a brother of
the "late Col. W. B. Richardson.
Specimens of the ore from this new
find have been sent to Philadelphia to
be assayed. Local experts have pro
nounced it good. However, its true
value will not be known until the re
port of the assayist has been received.
The Telegram ventures the assertion
that very few railroad companies are
making a roadbed out of gold ore.
UNDER WATER TO THE POLE.
A Scheme Which Rivals Andree's
Flight North.
Baltimore, Md., Jan. 29 Mr. Simon
Lake, the inventor of the submarine
boat Argonaut, and Mr. Alfred Riedel
a German-journalist, of this city, to
day addressed President D.C. Gilman
and twenty professors of Johns-Hop
kins Hospital with a proposition to
find the North Pole with a submarine
boat. !
The meeting took place at the Uni
versity, the professors having consent
ed sometime ago to the conference Mr.
Lake used a blackboard to illustrate
the plan of a vessel for the voyage,
which will be based on the lines of the
submarine vessels. Many new details r
aro not given . out for publication as
Lake and "Riedel are "seeking patents.
Mr. Riedel in addressing the profes
sors said Lhat the boat would be thor
oughly tested by a preliminary trip to
the Arctic regions in winter and a
voyage across the Atlantic in summer.
It is proposed to start at the point
from which Professor Andree sailed in
his balloon or from the vicinity of
Jackson's camp in Franz Joseph
Land. The expedition will start in
July when there is most open water
and when ice is encountered the vessel
will submerge herself and run under
it. When it is desired to come to the
surfa'ce for air or observations an
opening will be made in the ice with
a giantscrew or by the use of torpe
does. It is calculated that the submarine
vessel would not have to go more
than five hundred miles under ice.
After hearing the plans the professors
went to the water front at the foot of
South street and inspected the Argo
naut. The vessel had been sunk and
raised successfully at least twenty
times. A diver has repeatedly passed
in and out the vessel while it was sub
merged, and at the same time tele
phone messages4iave been sent to New
York.
CHICAGO LAWLESSNESS.
Four Robbers Raid a Dinner Party and
Secure Spoils Worth $8oo.
Chicago, Jan. 29. Four robbers

from the men and ear and finger rings
and bracelets from the women. Barton
.lost $122.75 and a diamond ring worth
$65. The victims were then locked in

ors searched the apartments.

FATHERLAND SHORT OF GASH
Txpenditures Exceed Revenues and
" Trouble and a Deficit Are
Expected to Follow.
By Cable to The Telegram.
Pekin, Jan. 31 The German ad
miral has taken prompt measures feo
secure redress for the killing of sen
tries at Kia Chou. Serious results are
not expected as a consequence. The
rumor that England has withdrawn her
protest as to Port Arthur, and that
she has ceased to exert pressure to se
cure the opening of Talienwan is re
garded by diplomats as incredible.
Such a course would be suicidal to
British, interests and prestige in the
Orient.
INSUFFICIENT REVENUE.
Hamburg, Jan. 31 It is feared that
there will be serious trouble . this j ear
because of an insufficiency of revenue.
The legislature has appropriated more
money than the revenues justified and
there will be difficulty in making both
ends meet.

Manchester, Eng., Jan. 39 A cable
dispatch to the Manchester Guardian
says that the difficulty in the far east
has been settled by the opening of
Port Arthur to trade on the same
