So far as is known, it is the first road Of any

leased yesterday the case being nolled. AS
sistaht County Attorney Purdy stated in open

FRED UNDERWOOD MENTIONED
In Connection with the Position Mr
Winter Leaves.

Winter Leaves.
There is show of persistency among many
railroad men in associating the name of Gen.
eral Manager Fred D. Underwood Of the
500 road, with the position of general man
ager of the Northern Pacific. The opinion
appears to be general that the powers having
the offering OF the latter would tempt the
500 manager with the plum, If they thought
he would accept, but few think he would re-
sign his present office, wherein he is practical
dictator of every line in this region In the
matter Of through rates. for one where he
would lose more or less Of his independence
and absolute power. At present General
Manager Underwood is absent on the line,
and could not be seen yesterday regarding
the rumor.

WHY RoENTeEN RAYS INJURE.
Electrician Nicola Tesla Tells of His
Experiments.


II has been known for some time that
Nicola Tesla has been making exhaus-
tive Investigations concerning Roent-
gen rays, not alone for their use in sci.
sniific demonstration, but also for their
effects upon the human system. Tesla
has given voice TO his deductions, so far
as he has determined them, in long
statement of his experience with rays,
and in the course of it he makes some
announcements certain TO create wide
discussions and comment in the scien-
iific world. Summing up his expert
mental experiences. Mr.. Tesla says:
II would seem advisable, first, to
abandon the use of bulbs containing
platinum; second. 10 substitute for
them properly constructed Lanard
tubes containing pure aluminium only,
a tube of This kind having, besides, the
advantage that it is constructed with
great mechanical precision, and there
fore is capable Of producing much
sharper impressions; third, to use n
protective screen of aluminium sheet
or instead Of this wet cloth or layer Of
fluid; fourth. to make exposures at a dis
tance of ut least IA inches. and prefer
ably to expose longer at greater dis
lance.
Tesla cites several instances of the
injurious effects of rays which have
come under his personal observation in
lis laboratory, which so far to bear out
announcements Of the manner in which
rays affect the system, but beyond this
he has discovered why rays have this
injurious influence, and the theory is as
novel as it is valuable. He says:
According TO the evidence 1 am OBJ
taining. bulbs, when in action, are emit
ting a stream of small material parti-
cles. There are some experiments which
seem to indicate that these particles
start from the outer wall OF the bulb;
there are others which seem to prove
that there is actual penetration Of the
wall, and in the case OF the thin alumni
mum windows l have now not the least
doubt that some of the finely disin-
tegrated catholic matter is actually
1 forced through. These streams may be
simply projected TO a great distance,
the velocity gradually diminishing
without the formation of any waves,
or they may give rise to the conclusions
and longitudinal waves. This for the
present consideration is entirely imma-
terial."
After his own painful experience with
the rays, as well as their effect upon
other persons whom he had observed,
Tesla comes to this conclusion as 10
their effect beyond the surface: Il
come" he says, Ito the very comfort
ing conclusion that no matter what the
rays are ultimately recognized to be,
practically all their destructive energy
must spend itself on the surface of the
body, internal tissues being in all prob
ability safe unless the bulb should be
placed in very close proximity 10 the
skin, or else that rays of far greater
intensity than now producible are gen
Grated. ."-Electrica Review.

china.s Famous criminal.

KAng, whose many crimes in China
have kept parts of that country in ter
TOR for years, has at last paid the PEN
atty of his misdeeds. Mail advices
brought by the steamer Rio Janeiro the
other day say that, emboldened by his
long immunity from capture. K'Ang laid
siege to the heart of the daughter Of
a high Manchu official Of the imperial
court, whom he succeeded in inducing
TO elope with him early in January.
There was great commotion following
the fight of the couple, and the Pc
king police bestirred themselves so en-
ergetically that he was captured late in
the month. K'Ang was taken to Pc
king, where he was tried before a spe-
cial tribunal, and although cruel tor
lures, such as llneeling on heated iron
chains, being pricked with red-hot
needles, etc, were inflicted to make him
confess to 20 robberies, with murder in
each case, of which he was accused,
he would divulge nothing. Neverthe-
less. he was condemned to suffer death
by the slicing process. On the day he
was led to die K'Ang sang songs all the
way to the execution ground and kept
singing even after several cuts had been
inflicted. A stab with a dagger in the
region of the heart then silenced the
desperado's voice, and the rest of the
slicing and the final severance of the
head from the body were carried out in
silence.-San Francisco Cor. New York

MIGHT HAVE SEEN A DICTATOR.
gen. scott Declined TO Consider IA
Proposition ATectine Mexico,

gen. scott Declined to Consider IA
Proposition Anecting Mexico.
It may surprise many readers 70 learn
that overtures were made to Gen. Scott
by many Mexicans Of position and by
many American officers TO permanently
occupy Mexico and organize a new gov
ernment. The scheme proposed to Gen.
Scott was, in substance, this; 1t was
supposed that upon the conclusion of
a treaty Of peace at least three-fourths
of the American army would be dis
charged and that a large portion of tho
officers would resign, and, with many
of the men, would enter the new army
of Mexico. and enough others would
be recruited in the United States to
make the American contingent $4,000
strong. and to this might be added .
like number of Mexican soldiers. With
such an army it was suggested that
Mexico could be held and governed in
an orderly way, and prosperity might
be assured.
The plan contemplated a pronuncia-
mento, in which Gen. Scott should de-
clare himself dictator of the republic
for term of five years or more to give
time for agtators to acquire pacific
habits and TO learn to govern them
selves and to respect an orderly govern
ment, where the rights of property
were not only respected, but fully pro-
tected. Already in possession Of the
forts. arsenals, foundries, cities, mines
and ports Of entry, with nearly all the
arms, it was not doubted that very
general acquiescence would follow.
Scott was invited TO several conclaves
Of officers, but from the first emphat-
ically declined 70 enter into the plot
lie did not purpose to change his al
egiance or his service or his flag, but
meant, he said, to return to the United
States. lie had several reasons for this
determination. lie was essentially a
conservative thinker and was endowed
with a remarkably high sense of jus
tice, and he had genuine contempt for
any adventure which had any flavor Of
dishonesty or bad faith about i, and
he would not consider for a moment
the project Of placing an alien govern
ment over Mexico while the nation was
dominated by superior force. Had still
another consideration been needed 70
influence his course-as was not the
ease. however-there was one most pcr-
suasive oonsideration-his prospective
bride, awaiting his return at White
Haven home, near jefferson Barracks.

Tnrtle nm Fox Trnp.

c. II. Perry, Of Herrick, Pa, has been.
fattening a 2O-pound swapping turtle
all winter. One Sunday his turtleship
was taken out of the barrel and allowed
to wander about the yard. Early one
morning recently Perry was aroused by
the noise Of a scuf1le in the yard. Re-
pairing there, he found the turtle hang
ing to the nose of big fox, which had
been stealing from the henneries in the
vicinity for a month. Br'er Fox was
near the fence endeavoring to get over,
but his efforts We're blocked by the
turtle. Eventually the fox reached the
next yard, but Farmer Perry followed
and shot him dead. The turtle all the
time retained his hold and refused to
let go until the fox's nose was cut off.
Then it crawled back to its home, car
rying the nose with it as trophy.

PROFESSIONAL CLUB FOR The
BALANCE OF THE SEASON.
BY the disbandment Of the Rockford
Baseball Club, Wilmington was lett
without q representative baseball team.
This condition OF affairs is not what
some of the lovers of the game desire,

ter county clubs. With this idea in
view games have been arranged with
the Mohicans, of Kennett Square; the
Brandywines, of West Chester, and the
Morton and Media teams. Games Will
be arranged with some of the teams of
the New Jersey League. Since this
years Reading team is composed of the
Wilmington players of last years At
lantie League team Manager Denny
Long has been written for a game.
The personnel Of the team will be
made up of college players and those Of
local reputation. Among them will be
Radclim and Jackson, of this years
University of Pennsylvania team; Bas-
tian, of the Atlantic League, and Nc
Danneil, of the late Rockford Club.
The first game will be played on Sat
urday, August IA. 1t is the intention
Of the manager to secure John l.. Sui
livan to umpire the first game. He has
been written to and is expected to be
heard from shortly In case the eX-
champion cannot be secured they will
try to have James J. Corbett play first
