SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22.-John Hays
Hammond. the American mining engineer,
is evidently in serious danger in the
Transvaal. Urgent cablegrams were re-
ceived here tonight by Henry Creswell,
city and county attorney; M. f. Tarpey, a
prominent Democratic politician. and a
third came to Colonel H. |. Thornton, but
as the latter is dead it was opened by his
nephew, Mr.. Creswell. The cablegrams
are dated Newcastle, Natal, January ODD.
As Newcastle is long distance from the
Transyaal, it is thought they were snug
gled through, and therefore better repre-
sent the situation than any previously re-
ceived here. The messages are all signed
by j. j. Curtis, who is son of George T..
Curtis, a grandson of Joseph Storey, once
justice of the supreme court of the United
States, and nephew of W. w. Storey, the
sculptor. The message addressed to Cres-
well is as follows:
exert your influence to help Hammond.
He is confined with sixty of us in the Pre-
toria Jail. He has been taken as one of
the riDgleaders, and unless some radical
measures are taken by Our government he
will be made to suffer for the sins of 9th.
ers, for which he is in no way responsible.' -
The message to Colonel Thornton says {:
~ earnestly beg YOU to use your influence
to protect Hammond from the consequence
of mistake which has been made by 9TH
ers In this unfortunate business. He is
not guilty and has been wrongfully con-
fined in Jail for the past ten days and the
TransvEal government refuses to admit
him to bail. j."
Judge John CARRIER, prominent attor-
new also received a message of similar inn
port. Mr.. Creswell, who has known Ham,
mond and Curtis for twenty years, wire
Senator Stewart at Washington, impress
ing upon him the seriousness of the stua-

patch to the Times says that the trial of
the political prisoners at Pretoria has been
set for April 21. and their preliminary ex-
aminatian is to be held within few days.
The Times has also dispatch from Pre-
toiia which describes a visit by their corre-
spondent to DR.. Jameson in jail He
found him and his officers looking we'll.
DR.. Jameson said that he thought the letter
of which a certified copy was captured by
the Beers, containing an appeal from the
Iitl anders OF Johannesburg for assistance,
justified his action. and that the clause
guaranteeing all expenses absolved him
from responsibility to the shareholders of
the Chartered South African company.

THE "wAGo owANHAN. "

A Mysterious Light That Hangs In
West Virginia Canyon.
An old-time West Virginia wonder
is again causing quite discussion
among the reading and thinking peo-
pie of Wyoming and adjoining coun-
ties. The wonder referred to is the
mysterious light which has been known
since times almost prehistoric as the
''Wago Owanhan."
This phenomenal light, says the ST.
Louis Republic, appears to emanate
from certain spot on the precipitous
sides of the great Pat Wess canyon.
Il casts it's ghostly sheen across the
waters of the river, lighting the sur
rcundipgs z not with a ''sickly, pale,
white light" but with phosphorescent
glow of sufficient. brightness to make
the reading of a newspaper or a book
possible on the darkest night. Accord
ing to some Investigators of the ''Wago
Owanhnn'' the light does not emafiate
from any spot on the canyons side, but
hangs out over the river, like d luminous
cloud or fog. This appears to havebeen
the case at the time when Prof. TohlurG
and Mr.. L. E. Christian-th latter of
Oceana, w. Va.-visited the spot. On
the 18th and 10th of last February an
expedition, headed by Mr.. Christian,
again visited the 'sWago Owanhan.' .
Snow was falling rapidly at the time,
and Mr.. Christian says that every fake,
when it reached a height of about 2o0
feet above the water, would blaze out
with dazzling brightness" and remain
luminous until it reached the surface

A Raspberry ice cream.

The most deliciouspice creams are
those favored with fruit Juices or fruit
prlps. They do not usually contain
eggs; therefore, they are more like a
sherbet than a regular ice cream, ex-
cept that milk or cream or part of both
are substituted for the water used in a
sherbet. Raspberry cream is one of
the most delightful of these light
creams. Boil two quarts of raspberries
with pint of sugar for ten minutes.
Strain off the juice and squeeze the pulp
out of the raspberry. Add it slowly to
pint Of boiling milk. Freeze this mix
ture- When it is cooled, and just before
it is ready to pack away, add pint of
cream beaten to a stiff froth. Pack
the cream away for three hours and it
will be ready to serve a delicate white
cake, favored with bitter almonds, is
an excellent acccmpaniment5 to this
cream. A cream made of an equal guam
tity OF chopped pineapple, cooked in a
pint of sugar and ssrained, or of
peaches, may be used. Strain the pine
apple or the peaches through a puree
sieve that viii allow all the fruit pulp
to pass through.-N. Y. Tribune.
