CHARGED WITH RAPE.
MITCHELL MYERS ASSAULTS TIL.
LIE WILLIAMS .
A Forty Year, Old Negro Accused of Out.
raging Seven Year Old Chile is
In Jail-Oase Being Investigated.

A seven-year-old cOlored girl, named
Tillie Williams, was before the grand
jury this morning as evidence in a
case of rape now pending before that
body. The charge was made against
Mitchell Meyers, colored man, about
AZ years of age, by John Williams, IA
Their of the little girl.
Williams was arrested this morning
by Constable KOhr and Deputy PO-
bukowsky, after an exciting chase.
He had Il big club with him, which
tire officers now have I'm their posses
sion. This will also be used as evil
dence against him. Two aftidavits
are filed in Justice Shocks court
against Meyers, one for rape and one
for aggravated assault. Both offens-
es are said to have been committed on
Tillie Williams last Monday.
The little girl is a niece of Meyers
wife and was in her care while her
parents were in Floresville. Meyers
lives on the Conception road. at East
End, and is said to have beaten up the
girl. At any rate, the girls face is
badly bruised and scratched. which is
evidence that she has been roughly
handled. Doctors Hadra, Berry and
Withers have made an examination Of
her and their opinions will have some
bearing on the grand jury's investiga-
ton.
Meyers wife was the first to sus-
pect anything wrong When she saw
the little girl. with her face beaten
and questioned Meyers about it he
said he believed it was disease
breaking out on her The girl, how
ever, told her. aunt what had happen
ed, and how he struck her. The mat
ter was at once reported and Meyers
is now in jail He was caught by a
colored man. who turned him over to
the officers.

TO BE FORTIFIED.
London VIII Prepare Against Any
Possible Invasion.

Possible Invasion.
London is to be fortified against a
possible invasion by forces landing on
the southern coast. The plan Of fort
works dates as for back as the time of
the duke of Wellington, but has been re-
vived by Lord Wolsey and other mill
tary authorities and adapted 10 the
changes of modern warfare. The mill
tary work bill provides for the con-
struction Of a chain of fortworks from
the southern Downs TO the heights on
the south of London, on which the Crys-
tai palace is a conspicuous object. The
scheme includes barracks and other
military works. The cost, which will
be something formidable for the treas
cry to face, will be met by advances
from the consolidated fund, to berepaid
by installments extendingover2 90 years.

ELECTRICAL PHENOMENA.

Trees Transformed Into Electric Lights
During Storm.
The atmosphere during a recent great
snow and windstorm at Huron, s. D.,
was heavily charged with electricity.
Telegraph instruments frequently failed
to do the bidding of the operator, and
a touch of the stovepipe with an iron
poker or other metallic substance would
result in sending a sharp current up
the arm and thousands of electric sparks
into the room. In different parts of the
city some queer, yet beautiful, sights
were witnessed. Some small cotton
wood trees presented a very strange
and novel appearance. The trees were
buried in snow almost to their tops,
but at the end of each twig on every
branch in sight was an electrical spark
about as large as n common field pea
On taking hold of twig the spark ex.
tinguished, but on withdrawing the
hand the spark reappeared. One man
who wore a glove with a hole in the
spark transferred itself to his thumb

DOG WEARS A CORK LEG.
c. Raymond's Fox Terrier Envied by
Hooded Cnntnes.

FLOODED CanEnes.
A fox-terrier belonging to c. Ray
mond, 4o31s West Lake street. Chicago
which has hobbled around on three legs
for some months, is as good a member
of the canine 400 now as any of them,
The reason is that Mr.. RaYmond's dog
will be sporting an artificial leg made
by a regulation artificial limb manu-
fscturer-and one which its dogship
can manage just as well as the most
proficient wearer of an artificial limb in
the human family. The dog~in ques-
ton has been prize winner It is
looked upon as being dog among dogs
IN the city, and it's deeds of va1or in
meeting any number of rodents at one
and the same time, and coming out of
the encounter with almost" adj Of its
skin have been recounted innumerable
times.
Several months ago the dog chased Q
rat under a wagon wheel. Therat was
killed-by the wheel-and the dog was
crippled. A veterinary surgeon ann
putated the left front foot at the Sec
end joint and took two toes off the right
foot. The dog has been respondent,
but when it was taken to the shopof the
artificial limb man and its new foot was
tried on for the first time it displayed
all the symptoms of the joy which pos
sesses a boy with his first pair Of red
ton boots.

NANsEN HAS ENOUGH.
Famous Explorer VIII Not Again Try
to Find the Pole.

/
to Find the Pole.
The Daily Chronicle publishes the re-
port of an interview with DIR. Frithiof
Nansen, the Norwegian explorer, who
is now In London, in which the famous
traveller is quoted as saying that he
does not intend to make another at
tempt to reach the north pole.
DR.. Nansen says he already has col
lected all the data he considers neces-
ssry to enable him to work out the main
scientific conditions Of the north polar
area.
He would, he says, like to explore the
region to the northward of America,
but thinks it improbable that no will
do 80, though perhaps he again will
make tour of exploration Of the re-
gion between Spitzbergen and Green
land, mainly with view of testing with
improved implements the temperatures
noted during the voyage of the Fran.
After his lecture tour through Great
Britain and the United States, DR.. Nan
sen will probably devote himself to the
work of completing the scientific re-
suits Of his expedition.
In reply to question whether or not
he would 60 on a voyage to tho ant
arctic regions, DR.. Manson said such an
expedition now seemed doubtful. He
rebutted the suggestion that the Fran
was not suited to such voyages, and de-
clared that, with such a vessel, he could
face any sea-
DR.. Nansen also assured his question
er that it would be an easy matter for
anybody with the necessary amount of
endurance and confidence and knowl-
edge of the conditions to reach the
north pole.
