John Cavanaugh, the colored man who
was arrested at an early hour Yesterday
morning and booked on a charge of using
abusive language, was arraigned before
Acting Police Judge Sells yesterday af-
ternoon. Later information lead to the
charge being altered to assault with a
deadly weapon. 1t appeared that CaYan-
augh had been in company with Bruce
johnson and Walter Bell enjoying a game
or poker IN the rear rooms of a Second
South street saloon. A dispute arose be-
tween Bell and CaYanaugh, when the
latter threatened to carve his antagonist
with long butcher knife. He was. how
ever, dissuaded from carrying his san
gunary intention into effect and the

H1GH-ToNED MIGRANTS.
Charles Chapman and G. H. Goddard
Booked as Such.

Charles Chapman, the sure thing
man, who has many times been in the
tolls of the police, but who generally
manages to wriggle out, and c. H.
Goddard, an alleged newspaper man,
were arrested yesterday afternoon
by the police and booked for va
grancy. Behind this charge there is,
however, said to be a more serious
one, it being stated that the accused
men either buncoed or attempted to
bunco sucker out Of $500 by means
of draft for that amount
The police were very reticent about
the matter, Chief Pratt giving the ex-
PLANTATION that they were not in pos
session Of the full details and to give
out to the public an imperfect state
ment would probably defeat the ends
Of justice.
1t is, however, known that Goddard
approached several parties with the
statement that he had a friend In
town who was a stranger and lad q

cash. Would Mr.. So and So be SO kind
as to go to the bank and identify he

whether he succeeded in cashfnp, II ~
not is not known.
The two men were arrested by OFF,
GERS Paul, Sheets End Raleigh, on Sec
ond South street, and when searched
at the police station, Goddard had only
$l.79 in his possession, while Chapman
had 1S24.S5. The police expected to find
either a larger sum of money or else
the draft.
The bonds were fixed at 500 each

they were released on the understand

A PYTHON STORY.
Fearful Result of 81 Plan to Cure a
Wife of Fear.

Wife of Fear.
A young lady in this country for a
long time resisted her lovers entreaties
to go out toIndia with him as his wife.
She had a horror of the wild animals
she believed she might encounter there,
especially serpents. At length, how
ever, after he had issued, a sort of ulti-
matum, she consented to accompany
him. She. did not, however, leave her
fears behind her, and lived in constant
terror of some day meeting what she
SO intensely feared.
Her husband did his best to laugh her
fears away, but without avail. Then he
resolved to try more drastic means. A
large python2was killed in the neigh
borhood of his bungalow. Without
telling his wife anything about it he
ordered the reptile brought into the
GraWing-room, and coiled up as if
asleep on the hearth rug. Then he
went out and called his wife, telling
her to go into the drawing-room and he
would join her in a few moments. Soon
after he heard a, dreadful scream.
That will cure her of her fear of
serpents," he smiled to himself, and
purposely delayed his entry. When at
last he went into the drawing-room he
saw his wife lying on the floor, and
coiled around her was another huge
python, the mate of the one that lay
dead on the hearth rug.-The Realm.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21-The main
case against Theodore Durrant is in.
There are some odds and ends of evil
dence to prop the carefully-built struc-
ture of circumstances, but to all intents
and purposes, the prosecution has had
its day.
After Oppenhein, the pawn broker had
told how Durrant came to him TO pawn
one Of Blanche Lamont's rings, after
Sademan. the Janitor had said that the
gas fixtures which Durrant asserted he
had been fixing on that fatefuI day need
co no 1xing Whateyer; after the long
line Of witnesses had taken the prisoner
right uD to the church door; after the
prosecution had done its best to hang
the man they consider the criminal of
a century, that mans attorneys were as
merry as larkS and as confident as as
sertive men can be. They also were as
Silent as rocks as to what evidence they
propose 20 offer to break down an APP
parently inyulnerable case against their
client

away all the structure of the proseeu-
ton as If It We're a house. of cards or
a castle of the air. If they were acting
their counterfeit of joyous certainty was
not to be distinguished from the genuine
article.
This confidence is what now keeps
those who have followed the case on
tiptoe of expectation. All are looking
forward to the day, not far distant now,
when Eugene Depreuy shall tell the
jury and the world in his opening state
rant of the HPfpnSQ inst ctiv how

Dur-ant from the San Quentin moose.
There. has been no period of the case

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY.
Some of the Numerous Theories on
the Mysterious Current.


the Mysterious Current.
Well, what is It? Il is scarcely possible
to say. There are theories-many of them.
1t is evidently something of which we
cannot take part; we cannot cut a piece
of it off and subject it to analysis, nor
can we pour little of it into d bottle
for future study and contemplation. 1t
is like the wind-its effects can be meas
ured, it's force, it's strength and quantity
can now be calculated to a very nice
degree. Still, to liken it to the wind, it
is a stupendous power, a mighty ty-
phoon, blowing, as it were, without NOV
ing, two ways at once along all parts of
its path, giving off a halo of magnetism
at right angles to that path everywhere.
One of the incest theories, PERHAPS Is
the one that considers electricity a CON
dit;on" of atoms brought about by chem
ical action. and in a battery cell, or by
what might be. called severe irritation
of the magnetic halo, as in a dynamo.
and by other means. such as heat and
friction.
What this condition is is beyond us;
1t may be d violent rotation, or it may
be an equally violent vibration of atomsl
Probably the arc light would prove it to
be a vibration. But as no man has seen
an atom at any time, not even with the
most powerful microscope; it is impossible
TO say. Friction in some form or other
IS present as heat is produced before
burning or destruction takes place.-EX-

CHE9ENNE, Wyo.. Sept 21.-Robert
Foote, state senator of Johnson coun-
ty, has written an open letter to Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior. ex-
posing what he characterizes as zone
of the most glazing and gigantic frauds
of the age" which is about to be COM

Carey arid land law. He says all the

basin was parcelled out to members
OF the state Land Ring by the state
engineer, and companies have been
FORMED which propose to charge set
tiers $40 per acre for water rights
Which are not worth over SO per acre.
The lands which the state authorities
have asked to have set apart under
the Carey law are not desert lands as
contemplated in the act of Congress,
Mr.. Foote asserts. In conclusion the
secretary says: THE land ring of the
