A Frog, But No Affidavit.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN FOUND LIVING IN
THE CENTER OF A LUMP OF COAL.

A Wilkesbarre miner while at work
the other day made wonderful dis
covery of large and well formed frog
in a mass of anthracite coal blasted
from a chamber 800 feet below the
surface in Simpson & Watkins Mount
Lookout Colliery at Wyoming.
The discoverer of the rare
curiosity Is Joseph Johns. He was
timbering with another miner James
OTIS, in a tunnel in the mine and had
barred down a large lump Of coal
when the gleam of light from his
lamp fell upon something in the coal.
He stopped down and touched the OBJ
ject and was surprised to find it soft
and yielding. There was about asquare
inch of surface exposed at the time
and he saw that the thing, whatever it
was, was in a cavity. With his pick
he very carefully Clipped off the coal
all around it until the cavity or
chamber was fully opened, and there
nesting in the hard coal he found a
frog.
Some seventeen years ago while
working in the mines, he made a
similar discovery and had then taken
the frog in his hand, shown it to his
brother miners and taken 1t home.
But while it was alive and warm
when he found it, it died before 1t had
been exposed to the air half an hour.
At that time a scientist had told him
that if he had enclosed the frog in an
alright compartment Immediately
after unearthing it the animal might
have lived.
When he made his second dis
covery on Wednesday this fact at once
recurred to his mind and as soon as
he had recovered from his surprise
and realized what he had found, he
ran to his dinner pail and got an air
tight fruit jar in which he had brought
the tea for his lunch. Into this he
put the frog and closed the lid tightly,
excluding all the air and the jar has
not since been opened.
The frog at first showed no signs of
lite, although it was warm, but after
being in the jar about six hours it be
gan to move, and when it had been
exposed to the light ten hours, it was
quite as lively as any specimen which
can be found around the ponnd in
Summer. Since then it has continued
to be fully wide. awake and stares in
wonder at all who look at it.
In appearance it is not very differ,
ent from an everyday frog. except tina,
its back is nearly black and there are
two rows of little billy protuberances
down each side of its spine. Its leg:
also are peculiarly long and its fee,
verv delicate and tender.

WILL PLAY BALL.
\ Great Game Between Durham and
Roanoke Next Week.


Durham, which has always made it a
point ia keep up with the procession,
does not propose to be behind in the
matter Of amusements. Especially in the
great international game of baseball, in
which it has recently scored many victo-
ries, does it not propose to be left.
And so, while other towns are making
name and fame ON account of their en-
c~ouragement of athletic sports, the Bull
City is doing something in that line itself.
Those who have witnessed previous
match games at Trinity park this season
will be pleased to know that the greatest
attraction yet is still in store for them.
The three games which will be played
next week, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, between the Durham nine and
the Roanoke, Va, club, will be Greek
meeting Greek, and such an exhibition in
the way of athletic sports as has not yet
been witnessed.
THE GLOBE believes that such sports
should be encouraged, and hopes 10 see a
large crowd.
Messrs. Van Noppen, r E. Lyon, A.
Lyon, w. G. B%radsher, Bun Whitted,
Bud Terrell, George Hardin and Tom
Martin have assumed the responsibility
of bringing the Roanoke club to Durham,
and have arranged a pleasant programme.
As the admission will be only 20 cents,
all should be there and encourage the
boys.

DAMAGED BY A WOMAN

James McCarthy's Singular Suit
Against Lille De
Menil.

James Mccarthy. who handles the
drumsticks in the Grand opera house
orchestra, claims to have lived for some
weeks in the smiles of the beautiful
Lille de Menil, but cloud coming be-
tween their souls. he was prosecuted by
her and deprived of his good name and
the respect of friends, and especially
the ladies with whom he was formerly
popular. Mccarthy sought G. Tyson
Butcher for counsel and as result an
action has been commenced against
Nine. de Menil for $4,000 as damage
to his reputation by alleged malicious
prosecution. 1t is alleged in the com
plaint that Madame De Menil had Nc
Carthy arrested on a charge of having
stolen two diamond rings from her, and
that she made an effort to have him in
dicted by the grand jury after being
held by the municipal court, but the
grand jury did not find any indictment.
The story, as told by Mccarthy In the
complaint, continues to the effect that
he became acquainted with Madame De
Menil Sept. "a, 1892. when he visited her
at her home. From that time until Nov. II
last she drove him to the opera house in
her carriage nearly every night, and
after evening performances ended she
sent her carriage for him, ana he was
almost constant inmate of her house.
During this period of intimacy she gave
him cluster diamond ring, and told
him to take it to Weller, the jeweler,
and have the diamonds set in a stud,
but to take care of the diamonds and
ring, as they were gift from
her mother. She also put a diamond
ring on his finger in token of her love.
During this time)he attended to bust
ness matters tor her, including the col
lection of rent for her house at the
corner of Ninth and Minnesota streets.
He asserts that her carriage was at his
disposal, and that they often took long
drives together. The intimacy kept up
until last November, when, Mccarthy
asserts, Madame De Menil made prop
osition to commit an unnatural crime,
and he fled from the house in the night
time, affrighted and disgusted. In
about week after he went to the house
to return the diamonds, but he was de-
MED admittance, and his arrest at her
instance followed, and he remained in
Jail three days, but, the grand jury not
indicting him, he was released from
Jail. 1t is asserted by Mccarthy that
his reputation has been damaged, es-
pecially among his lady friends, and
that his usefulness as musician has
been affected, and hence he sues for
$4,000 damages.

DISMISSED ON DEFECTS.
The Second Case Against Jones
Thrown Out.

The Second Case Against Jones
Thrown Out.
The case of Thomas Bowen Jones,
charged with securing the signature of
f. Ii. GuiLbert, state agent of the Php-
nix Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Hartford, Conn, to note for 1928 by
false pretenses, was called in the police
court yesterday afternoon. The de-
PENDANT, through his attorney, demurred
to the complaint on the ground that it
was defective. I'm speaking to the
motion to dismiss, the attorney
claimed the whole affair was an
attempt to enforce payment on note
which was not yet due. The correct
steps the attorney said, was to COM
mence a civil action and not blast a
mans reputation by criminal charges
without any possibility OF legal cOnvic-
ton. Judge Cory held the point as to
the defective complaint well taken, and
discharged Mr.. Jones. Assistant County
Attorney DOnnelly said, after the case
had been dismissed, that another COM
plant would be issued. The complaint
dismissed Yesterday was the second one
thrown out of court on the ground of de-
fleets. The friends of Mr.. Jones claim
that there is not a SCintllla or evidence
against him; that this case is simply a
persecution, not prosecution, and that
when the prosecutors are through, his
hand will be shown effectively in his
own behalf,

testimony should be taken the same as
