EATON, O.. March 2. Although arrangements have not been fully completed, It Is expected the funeral of William Benjamin, 66, who was killed here Tuesday morning In a sewer trench cave in, will take place Friday, probably in the forenoon, with services at his late home, North Maple
street, followed by burial at Lewisville, Ind. Waverly lodge, Knights of Pythias, will be in charge of the funeral. William Hartrum. 47, and William Gard, 37, both local men, who were injured in the cave-in that killed Benjamin, are expected to recover, although at this time it has not been determined either or both sustained internal injuries. Hartrum has a broken or crushed leg, besides other hurts and Gard has complained of pains in his chest since the accident. The three men were working in the trench not far apart when the earth gave way. Benjamin was buried in earth two feet above his head. Gard was engulfed up to his chest. The fact that Hartrum was in a stooping position when the avalanche of earth cough t him, is thought to have saved his life. Planks were thrust into the trench in time to prevent full weight of the earth descending upon him. The accident happened at the intersection of West Deeni street and the New Paris road, where the county commissioners have under way the laying of a sewage line to connect the county infirmary with the city sewage system. The work was started only a few days ago, near where the accident occurred. Rail Ties Involved. Railroad ties to the number of
523, valued at $376, are involved in a suit brought in common pleas court by the Pennsylvania railroad company against the Btuffton-Lewisburg Stone company, of Lewisburg. The railway company avers it bought the ties from 1?. Johnson and Son company, Richmond, and placed them along its right of way at West Manchester, for seasoning. It is alleged that the stone company's officers, agents or employes removed the ties to its own property at Lewisburg, since which time surrender of the ties or payment for them ha3 been refused.

The housing situation will never more disturb Joe Mitchell Chappie, editor of the National Magazine, and his wife. It is not Chappie's fault, however, but his wife's. When Chappie was over- - sea as a journalist "doing" the battlefronts, Mrs. Chappie gave up their home and moved to the top floor of the factory building where the National Magazine was . printed.

The alchemists of the Middle Ages in their searching for a way to turn other metals into gold evolved a theory that the ocean was the mother of the precious metal, and spent their lives trying to win the secret from her. In the year 1 S97. the Rev.- P. F. Jernegan, of Middleton, Conn., had the same theory. But, being a New Jersey lawyer formerly, he got more gold from it than did the alchemists. One day he so impressed a friend, Mr. Charles E. Fisher, with the result of his experiments that, they both went to see Mr. Arthur B. Ryan, also of Middleton. Mr. Ryan knew scientists had proved that sea water contained a small percentage of gold: and he had f-ueh faith in his reverend neighbor that he believed at. once he had invented an economical method of extracting it Soon he hfld a promise from his friend, Mr. W. R. Usher, Mr. A. X. Pierson, Mr. A. P. Sawyer and other well known business men, to witness a demonstration of Mr. Jernegan invention. Here again, the clergyman's legal training came out. He insisted that they must keep the discovery secret. A secluded spot that he knew on Nar-
clergyman Insisted that they all remain until completion of the experiment. So all night, on that bleak wharf, they sat or tramped about, Mr. Jcmegan uttering a word of cheer every now and then. As the daylight crept over the bay, ihey raised the contrivance teech chattering, they crowded about it. Mr. Jernegan, his eyes sparkling, asked one of them to lift out the container. 'There, brothers?" he shouted triumphantly. They saw the glunt of gold. Kut was It gold? Mr. Jernegan did not want them to take his word for it. He had insisted on their bringing an assayer of their own choosing, "Gold and silver too!" was the verdist, shortly afterwards. In those days every year a Spanish fet set sail for Spain, laden with the erolden spoils of South America. But just about this time the pirates of the South Seas had become so numerous that the Plate Fleet, as it was called, had been held up for three years. At last a squadron of warships, French and, Spanish, was despatch to convoy the treasure ships home. The whole fleet sailed safely through the buccaneer's traps, but rearine Snnin
ragansett .Bay. would be jut the place j British fleet that had been sent out
for a trial. In the dusk one winter silu miercept me fcpaniards, was re
evening, they gathered at tne enn ot an old wharf, while the clergyman got his apparatus ready. It seemed simple enough, a cylindrical box, a pipe through which the water entered, some chemicals at the bottom, which with an electric wire. Mr. Jernegan explained in confidence, precipitated the gold. Niaht was coming on. But the
Women Who Overwork "Man may work from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done.". In order to keep the home neat and attractive, the children well dressed and tidy, women continually overdo and suffer in silence, drifting along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they need help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life a burden.

ported.
The French officers suggested that the whole fleet make for one of the ports of France, w here there would be greater security from an enemy. But the Spanish admiral felt that the French king, Louis XIV, could not be
trusted with such treasure in his territory, so lie politely declined the invitation, and sought refuge in Vigo Bay. They lay there a month afraid to venture out for fear of the English fleet lurking over the horizon. It was suggested that the gold and other treasure should be put ashore and transported by land to Madrid. But the government was occupied with other matters and could not be got to agree; and the wealth was still afloat when the English fleet came nosing through the entrance. , In the battle that followed, not one of the treasure ships, escaped either sunk by the English, or scuttled by their Spanish commanders to prevent them falling into the enemy's hands. In the year of the battle the Spanish government tried to raise two cf the largest vessels the Ca pi tana and the Amaranta. But the difficulties were great., and the work was turned over to a private company which was to get 5 of all treasure raised. The company had no better luck than the government, nor did others that followed. In the next, half century no less than T.O companies . sank the money of Spain in Vigo Bay. Alexandre Goubert, a Frenchman, saw himself the nearest of all to success, in 1728. His grapples caught in a wreck and a hulk was dragged ashore. But it turned out to be only a, man o'war cf his own country which
had gone down with the Spanish fleet, and was treaureless. Later, an Englishman tried his luck with a diving of his own invention. He managed to raise a few pieces of silverplate, but there was such an outcry in Spain at an Englishman being given a concession over the fleet which his nation had sunk that he was prevented from carrying on further operations. But others had not such faith even
in a clergyman. The Issue of further stock was suspended. The news from the plant was not reassuring either. In refused to extract gold. Stock on the market dropped to 10 cents a share. Still Mr. Ryan would not have
it that hi3 faith had been misplaced, i Moreover, had he not seen, with his own eyes, the machine make gold? j Xo word came from Mr. Jernegan. "Have him arrested under an extradition Warrant," some shareholders demanded. But Mr. Jernegan had so arranged things that the 9,000,000 unissued shares, he controlled 7,500,000 of them. There could be no legal quorums at a meting without him, and the only person who could order Mr. Jernegan's arrest was Mr. Jernegan. It was a dismal crowd that besieged the offices. Nor did it grow cheerful at Mr. Ryan's proposal. He refused to admit the impracticability of the scheme, and said he intended to go on experimenting' with the rest of the capital. The other rhareholdors held a conference they could not hold a
proper meeting without Mr. Jernegan, and he was away over in Erussels. But a suit was instituted to stop further money being spent on operations. Mr. Jernesran had quitted Xew York leaving $100,000 which he might have taken but for his hurry. This was attached by the court and added to the company's assets. Seme time afterwards a letter was received from him.
He was pining to return to his native J
land, he said, and so that there would be no ill will towards him, he donated $75,000 to the shareholders. But he was still in Brussels in December, IS'99. The plant was afterwards sold to a sardine canning company, and from this and other funds, the investors got SC& of their money back. But the gold that was found In the accumulators that winter's morning' It came out afterwards. Mr. Fisher had once been a diver, while the capitalists were watching on the wharf that night, he had slipped off from a nearby rock, and, just below them, dropped the gold and silver into the container.

begin. If such interest payments were coming in regularly there would be receipts of about $500,1)00,000 per year, from this source, and it might be possible in this way to finance the bonus plan. Object to Bonds. The proposal to float a bond issue to meet the expenses, of the bonus has been made, but it has apparently found little favor. Financial experts have testified that there would be difficulty in marketing such bonds under existing conditions, and that their -floaat ion would serve to depress the prices of the Liberty bonds far below their present price.
Congress probably would hesitate to increase taxes to finance the bonus, for the public for months has been loudly demanding lower taxes. Furthermore, it is pointed out, the Republican party is pledged to a policy of retrenchment in its platform. Predict Opposition. It has been predicted that the bill, if brought up for consideration in the

If the bonus bill now pending in the fenate is enacted it will be left for he next congress to wrestle with the problem of raising funds for the carrying out of its provisions. Senator McCumber, of the finance committee, believes he sees a way out for the payment of the bonus by the utilization of the interest received from foreign loans, but other members of congress have promptly called attention to the fact that this government is not receiving any interest on its loans to the allies and does not
