out in two small slsiffs near Burnside's
place. When moving from one part of
the skiff to another his foot slipped and
the boat gave a lurch. He tried to regain
his balance, but still kept slipping and
one leg got over the side. This caused
the boat to upset, and threw him into the
water. He clung to the gunwale of the
sliff, and as it slowly turned towards
him, clambered on to the bottom. While
in this position Mr.. Davidson came up
and rescued him. The frail craft was
righted and Mr.. Hughes got off with a
slight duclking, but he lost his gun and
all his cartridges.

The physical charm was less; there were

TREATED HIS MOTHER CRUELTY.
An Aged Woman's Charges Against Her Son
as Outlined in Suit for Damages.
Special 20 the Indianapolis journal

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal
CINCINNATI, Feb 11.-A civil action, the
like of which has probably never before
been instituted in the courts of the coun-
try. was commenced in the Superior Court
to-day by the fling of q petition by Mrs.
Elizabeth Hugo against her son John. con.
tanning allegations and charges of the most
startling character. and of which, if ap-
proximating in any way the truth. must
brand the defendant as son devoid of hu-
man feelings.
The plaintiff Is 0 lady eighty. Eight years
ola. and the defendant 10 her son. The full
force of the charges she makes against him,
and of the injuries alleged, for which she
asks $4,000 damages. is scarcely cOnceiv-
able. The petition relates that on or about
Dec. %, 1892. John Hugo took from the post
Office q letter addressed to his mother. con-
tanning q remittance out of the proceeds OF
a sisters estate In Germany, which had been
devised to Mrs. Hugo. and that the plaintiff,
hearing of the arrival of the letter. went
to her sons house. Here she claims that
when she asked for the money he gave her
el5. and that when she insisted upon re-
ceiving the full amount he seized her by
the throat and. crying out. "Pll kill you.
you old carcass" choked her almost into
insensibility. She was then carried To her
home on Green street by some of the neigh
bors where she fingered for several weeks
on the verge of death. But this was not all.
A further allegation is made In the petit
tIon tha. on Feb. 3, week ago yester-
day, having recovered sufficiently
to be about, and bearing that her
son had obtained another letter of hers
from Germany. containing another remit
tance, she went to bis house. but at the
door was met with the most vile and
abusive language. Failing to thus drive
her away. she charges that he forcibly led

asks of the court IS 900 for the first injury
and g.. 900 for the second. The residence of

Was There an Age of Copper?

M. Berthelot, the well known French
technicist, in a communication to the
Academic des Sciences, states his belief
in the some time existence Of an age Of
copper in addition to the three recog.
nized archaeological cons of stone, bronze
"copper" and tiny and iron. He bases his
opinion chiefly upon an analysis of a
piece of copper which had been found by
Nj. de Sarzec in the course of antigua
rian Investigations in Mesopotamia, OF
Al Jezira, asa the Arabs designate the
famous stretch of country between the
E~uphrates and the Tigris. The fragment
thus chemically determined proves tc
have neither tin o zinc entering into
it's composition, there being simply traces
of lead and arsenic.
Water and the atmosphere had made
ravages into the specimen, which was
practically a suboxide or a compound of
protoxide and metallic copper; AS the
ruins from which the piece of metal was
taken are authoritatively considered tc
be more ancient than even those of Baby
Ion. M. Berthelot does not hesitate tc
promulgate the theory that all age of
copper preceded the bronze and iron
periods, especially as the examination OF
the component parts of a portion of a
metallic scepter which, it is alleged, be.
