IN THE CAUSE OF SCIENCE
Union Pacific Offers to Carry 300
Biologists to Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wy. March 31.-The Union
Pacific railroad has in preparation a cir
cular letter of invitation which is unique
in the history of railroading, and will at
the same time promote the interest of
science and largely increase the interest Of
students of geology and mineralogy in
Wyoming and her extraordinary fields of
gigantic fossil remains. The company viii
extend TO upward OF 300 colleges and uni
versities of the United States a cordial in
vitation to send an expert geologist or
paleontologist with a corps of assistants TO
Wyoming the coming summer. The in
vitations will offer. in the interests Of
science, free transportation from Chicago
on the east and San Francisco on the west
to Laramie, Wy. and return, for all the
members of such properly authenticated
parties. There is no doubt that the invi-
tation will he largely accepted and that
more extended knowledge Of the wonder
ful fossil beds of this state viii be the
result and that many museums will be
greatly enriched by the collections made
Botanists. entomologists and ornitholog-
lists will find in the high plateaus and
semi-arid plains regions Of this state an
exceedingly rich field for work The cir
cularS referred to are now in press.

great array Of witnesses for the defense
This is the first time on record that the
federal government has come into the
south to take up a lynching trial. The
murder Of Baker was probably the most
brutal crime known in the history Of the
state. Baker was appointed postmaster
at Lake City. and before he took charge
OF the office ne was warned to keen a way.
He refused an an attempt was made to

the special purpose of killing Baker. The
negro had refused TO leave town and give
up the office. so the white people rebelled
at tn idea of a colored postmaster.

CASE OF DIR. ANDERSON,
Public Sentiment Divided Regard
ing IL.

DANVILLB. VA, August l.-(Special0
The case Of DR.. John c. Anderson. now
In Jail at Chatham, and under indict-
ment for the betrayal and attempted
murder Of Miss Watson Is the absorbing
topic throughout the county and i'm this
city. Miss Watson, 1t will be romem-
bered, committed suicide about a month
ago by swallowing laudanum and IL was
then that the ugly charge came out that
DR.. Anderson, a man of family. was re-
spOnsible for her shame, and, indirectly,
for her death by her own act. IT is
claimed that she left a letter duplicating
DR.. Anderson as her betrayer. and that
she so stated TO another physician. Ihis
alleged letter and the statement referred
20. it is admitted are not admissible as
evidence. The action Of the prisoner in
quietly disposing of his property and
fleeing to Canada is generally regarded
as the worst evidence against him. but
this, his friends claim. was due 10 fears
OF violence rather than 10 guilt. Public
sentiment is very much divided, and there
are all sorts OF rumors ahoat, but
none of these can be authenticated for
the prisoner, his counsel. and the Com
monwealth's Attorney are all keeping
their own counsel. 1t Is conceded that
there must be considerable evidence

PoiificaI-PersonaI.

PETERSBURG. VA, August 1.--(Spe-
cial)-One Of our most prominent mer-
chants happened 10 be caught at Old
Point when that popular resort was
guaranteed against by the cities of
Eastern Virginia. Finding il impossible
to get away on steamer, he
hired a small boat. and started in
the direction OF home. giving Newport
News. Portsmouth, and Norfolk a wide
berth. He tried to make Suffolk, but
when In sight OF that town was warned
away with but little ceremony. He was
subsequently landed at some out-of-the-
way point in the woods and started on q
tramp across the country. He received
assistance at one or more farm-houses;
was put on an Atlantic and Danville train
Tor Empora, and arrived here this morn
ing.
The trains from Norfolk to-day were
overcrowded with passengers.
Two of the negro eXcursionists from
Norfolk 10 this city yesterday got them
selves in trouble and in Jail. One of the
parties eddie StewarO had been wanted
here for seven years to answer the
charge Of felonious cutting, his victim
being Charles Thornton. Stewart fed,
and yesterday was the first time he had
been seen in town. Hd will have hear
ing tomorrow. The other excursionist
was James Griffin, who this morning paid
a fine Of so and costs IN the Mayor )
