A Young Lieutenant Found $i!5,U0'l Con cealed in Bags of Rice. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 4. -V let jer received by a friend from Lieutenant Frederick W. Coleanan, of the Thirteenth United States Infantry, stationed at Ma nila, tells of the capture of a Filipiua convoy, with the no of .3,".000 n Spanish silver dollars, which was go ing to the insurgent army. The capture was made on the night of Augnst 19th, when the wagons containing the treas ure had nearly reached a plac of safety. The money which Lieutenant Coleman captured was concealed hi a waon lead of rice. The rice was in bags' supposed to be going to the friend y Filipinos be yond the lines. The wagon hud nearly reached Pasig when Iietitenaut Coleman and his company of sharpshooters met it. It bad passed inspection upon leaving Manila, but the Lieutenant wanted to know more about it, aud iustcid f recog nizing the pass made an exanvn!itioii and found the money. It occurred to him that there might be more wagons, and, watching out. no soon had a second wagon load of money. This money was going to the tront for Agiiin aldo, and was probably an installment, such as the General has neeu getting from iiiative merchants, for the purchi.-e of arms aud aiunnini'ioi. Ii has Uen a mystery in the twist where the insur gents got their latest pittern cf arnn, but the secret about .h money to h :y them is out, thanks to the younc Lieu tenant's sagacity. THE GRFJAT SOUTHERN STRELS PARADE. MIN- The street parade of the minstrels will present so many radical departures from the old fashioned street parades given by minstrels in former years that it will be almost a continuous succession of sur prises. The ti'me-honored silk hats and grey or brown overcoats of the minstrels will be conspicuous by their absence; and who ever dreamed of a minstrel paradi without silk hats? The parade of the "Great Southern Minstrels" will be led by four mounted buglers in full suits of gorgeous mail armor two superbly uni formed hands, a line of carriages in which wifl ride the principal comedians and ten Zouaves will carry silk and satin banners upon which will appear the sev eral announcements the management de sire to place before the publis. I'rof Holly W. Rossmeyer, late principal cornetist of Gilmore's Band, is the band master of the company, and this fact alone assures our citizens of the extreme excellence of the music that will be heard. It is said that seldom, if ever, has so magnificent a street pageant been given by any one Minstrel troupe. CTTOON. New York, Oct 7. Cotton: Oct. 697; Nov. 98; Dec. 706; Jan. 12; Feb.

Days Says There is No Friction Between Sup't and Executive Board LeGrand Says Farms are Well Managed A Times-Visitor representative to-day interviewed Col. A. B. Young, chairman of the liourd of directors of the pcni tourinry, and Hon. .lames T. LeGrand. ii member ol' the sauic bu;jid, w'lio are in the cily. The board of directors will meet In (h-lober lith for the purHsc of ro.iviir.' a lull statement from hu- pomni !iclent v . 11. May regarding re- ceipN, disbursements .assets, the crop. etc., !' tile State 1 nso?i. Col. lorni!? and Mr. LcUrand said that at the re quest and direction of Superintendent lay they have just completed a visit to all the penitentiary farms and made a careful, conservative estimate of tin- State's crops. They wall uuike their statement to tfhe board when it. nieet here this month. Supcrintendciit Day was nusions for these gentlemen to see all the farms themselves so thai when the iKwird meets they can make their statement about the crops in addition to the one rendered by the .Sii:M-rintendcnt. Mr. LeGrand said: "Yes, we have visited all Ihe farms and Col. Young and I agree in all our intimates except jn ci 'ton. Col. Young .--ays flic tola! mini - r ol' iiales or colton I'roiii tiie Stale farms will be l!,3l)0, while 1 say J.olMl." The following is Mr. Li-Grand's stal i .i nt. Col. Youuig agreeing with hint ex ci , ! im cotton: Cotton 11,500 bales. Corn, 80,000 biiMiiels. Peanuts, 3,300 bushels. Field peas. 4,000 bushels. Rice, 0,000 bushels. Pork, IHt.OOO pounds. Mr. LeGrand stated for himself indi vidually that more pork had been pro duced than ever before on tlie State farms and five times as much as last year. Both gen-lleiiicu lilted th-it or course their estimate was dependent on good innn.genient in housing anil gaih wiiig the remainder of the clop. Mr. LeGrand said: "Tlie corn and cotton crop in North Caroliiwi, and 1 have traveled all over the State, is o'T on an average of 50 per cent, while on the State farms cotton is off 33 1-3 per cent and com is off 25 per cent." Col. Young agreed with LeGrand that the "crop on the State farms are ths best I have seen anywhere this season." Col. Young said his observation w.is limited to the crops he passed in visiting the various farnm. "On what farm do you consider tlie crops best?" asked the reporter. The crop on Sunwiierlin's farm is the best of any," replied Col. Young. "There is not much difference between Caledonia ami Suninicrlin's and Rem hardt on the Anson farm, will make more cotton per acre than any" other State farm," replied Mr. LeGrand. Mr. leGrand then individually stated "If the Slate got rid of all the fauns except Caledonia and Ansom there will be 200 convicts to work on the rail roads and the penitentiary will be seif sustainiiig. Considering the disadviMil ages incident to the decision of t ie Stale Supreme Court the State farms have been well liKinagcd; so far is tlie Cen tral Prison is concerned' 1 know not'i-: ing." Superintendent Day, who was a listen er, then turned to the reporter and said: "All the friction between the Su perintendeiit and the cxeditiy board existed only in the newspapers." When asked aloirt the recent purchase of the farms by the State, Col. Young said he was against the purchase of both but Mr. LeGrand added he thought it a good investment for the State, and after buying one it was folly not to buy the other. Mr. LeGrand says, howi ver. that the whole plan of Hie State's farm ing is wrong, but the criticism has large ly eminated from a source which was most anxious to buy the farms. Superintendent Day and Manager Arendell are both, of course, delighted with the report which Messrs. Yo.ui and LeGrand wiH make. It is substan tially the same as the recent estimate of Mr. Arendell. If Hhe estimate holds out Superintendent Day believes that the penitentiary will be self-sustaiuiiij. At the Treasury Department it was said by Chief Clerk Denmark that in August the penitentiary paid $4,o85, into the Treasury and in Sept ember $7,936, and that between February and Au gust it had paid hi nothing. Purchas ing Agent Arendell, of the penitentiary, who was present, said that between Feb ruary and Aognst all accounts were kept with a hank..' He said ' the ' payments made were merely, of receipts from Inci dentals; that no cotton hol been t sold; that the market was being watched and Ithat the sale would be governed by the coOdftione; that cotton might bo held on storage or night not MAY NOT LIVE.
