KENTUCKIANS HUNT TREASURE
FROM BARGES SUNK IN 1895.
Thousands of Tons of Fuel, Exposed
by the Low Stage of the Stream,
Start a New Industry at
I Hickman.
Hickman, Ky. Konttickians nro
mining coal In tho Ohio river. Pro
truding above tho water, on account
of tho present low stngo.iiiiay be seen
off this iown several barges which
wero wrecked during a terrible storm
in January, 1895. This Is tho first
tinio slnco the barges sank that they
liavo been visible, and being loaded
with Pittsburg coal, tons nud tons,
of tho fuel nro now being recovered.
Tho coal Is practically as good us the
day It sank.
Tho steamers Tom Rees anil Tho
Mariner were on route from Pittsburg
to points on tho lower Mississippi
with 22 barges of coal In tow nt tho
time of tho accident. About sunset
they would liavo passed Hickman
had It not been for fear of an ap
proaching storm. On this account the
Rocs, being ahead of tho Mariner, put
to laud oppnslto town nud was soon
followed by tho latter, lloth tied up
for tho nlgli't nt tho placo whore the
barges may now bo seen.
The twilight deepened Into the
blackest night, nud with It came tho
storm, Increasing In fury until about
11 o'clock, when tho waves begnn
running ovor tho decks of tho steam
ers and breaking over Into tho bargefl.
Pumps were kept busy until tho
crews finally deserted both boats, with
tho excoplion. of tho chief cngincor
and captain on the Hees, who stayed
and kept her from going to pieces.
When morning dawned tho ontlro
tow of both boats had gono down.
With tho barges about 14,000 tons of
Pittsburg coal was lost, valued in tho
notghbo'rliood of $G0",'000. Dredging
boats wore sent to Hickman for tho
purpose of raising what coal they
could, which Was probably n fourth, or
$1C,000 worth. The romaindor, worth
about $15,000. still lies under tho
water.
Should tho river continue to fall
thousands of dollars' worth of coal
may bo taken from tho old wrecks, It
Is costing about three dollars a ton to
get it out but that is cheap.

In Iho enrly history of Cook county
Mrs. Sarah Marshall, who was born
In Nottingham, Lhiglnnd, In 178S, camo
to Illinois nnd settled on tho rldgo
about ten miles north of the mouth
of tho Chicago river. Shortly after
wards sho obtained several of tho
pods that grow on n honey-lociiBt treo
on tho alto of Fort Dearborn. The
bcnnllko seeds were extracted nnd
planted. When the young locusts wero
largo enough they woro set out In
different places about tho farm, nnd
later woro dug up nnd replanted.
Theso trees produced seeds thnt
wero glvon to many friends In dif
ferent parts of this country, nnd from
the trees that grow from It other
seodB were produced until tho distri
bution has assumed tho proportions
of a problem In arithmetical progres
sion. Long boforo Mrs. Mnrshall died

called. waB transferred to her daugh
ter, Mrs. Ann Kyle, whoso husband
wns tho master of a vessol on Luke
Michigan, und therefore spent most of
his tlmo awuy from homo.
When tho town authorities threat
ened to cut down six of tho trees be
cause they stood on tho rondway,
Mrs. Kylo stood guard over them,
armed with a shotgun, nnd threatened
tp shoot tho flrHt man to sink nn ax
In ono of them.
When Mrs. Kylo died tho care of
tho trees passed to hor heirs, chief
among them being hor daughter, Mrs.
Maxwell, who Is the present guardian
of tho trees that havo produced the
seed for .Bhndo for probably n thou
sand homes, scnttcred over a big sec
