AFTER MANY YEARS
A CANNON BALL MAINS
VICTIM.
It Was Fired in 1S12-Contained q
Note Written by an American
Sailor Giving the Brit
ish Plans.

An old, rusty cannon ball, fired from
British field piece at the attack on
Bladensburg by the English force under
General Ross and Lieutenant Wainwright
during the war of 1872, hit laborer work.
ing short distance outside OF that town
today and broke his leg, says a Wash
ington telegram to The Chicago Tribune.
The ball, when examined, was found to
inclose a roll of parchment addressed to
the commanding officer of the American
force defending Washington and con-
tanning detailed account of the plans
of Admiral Cockburn, the Commander in
Chief of the British naval force then in
the Potomac, and of which the land
expedition was part. for his march on
Washington and the destruction of the
national capital. The communication
was signed "Timson Howard, mate of the
American merchantmen, General Stone
and victim of the British press gang. ="
John Key, the man injured by the ~an-
nen ball, was one of a gang of colored
laborers engaged in cutting a road near
Bladensburg. He was working at the
bottom of step. fifty foot slant when
the pick of laborer at the top of the
| elevation dislodged from the earth, where
rusty relic. 1t rolled down the hill and
| struck Key with considerable force,
breaking his leg near the ankle.
After the man had been cared for end
put on a train for Washington the fore
man of the gang rolled the cannon ball
| to a nearby creek and removed some of
| the earth and rust. He noticed that the
ball was hollow, and. not knowing that
explosive shells were not In use during the
war of 1872 curiosity impelled him to dig
in the interior of the relic with knife,
to see, as he explained later, how the
powder in the shell had withstood the
ravages of ninety years.

yet Lord Rayleigh hesitates to say that
the experiment proves anything, because
there may have been some undetected
fault in the apparatus. Apparently,
though. the lack of result means the same
as did Morley and Michelson's failure
Several physicists have asserted that if
the ether is stationary in space and
current of 1t flows through the earth in
consequence of the latter's own move
ment. then all material objects should
change their shape imperceptibly when
turned a part way around. A foot rule.
for instance. should not in the morning
have the same length as at noon. Lord
Rayleign referred to this the other day,
and said that it would be impossible to
prove the doctrine, perhaps, but the lat
ter had a basis of sense.

Message Found in Center of Cannon
Rail-


After the foreman had cut away the
dirt from the two-inch hole in the big
piece of iron, his knife brought out roll
of parchment. yellow and discolored with
age, but which. when unrolled proved to
be the communication mentioned above.
A considerable portion of the writing was
illegible, but enough could be read to
make fairly connected whole.
The communication signed by Howard
who from the character and phraseology
of the document was man of some ed
ucation, explains that he had been i'm
pressed into the British service shortly
before the beginning of the war and had
since been compelled to serve against his
country. While acting as orderly to Ad-
miral Cockburn he had learned that the
British commandments intended to
sack and burn Washington and lay waste
the surrounding country. A portion of
the writing says:
with the aid of God Almighty let all
patriots rally to --Washington and
-marauders who are coming-rapine
and murder-defeated in former years
regain-through naval supremacy
press gang outrages-lost before"
A postscript to the note explains that
Howard wrote nearly one hundred of the
warnings. and, knowing that the Ameri-
cans made a practice of using over again
the cannon balls fired at them by the
British, had slipped the papers into shells
carried by the land force which marched
on Bladensburg, in the forlorn hope that
at least one of the notes might be dis
covered.
The cannon bali and the roll of parch-
ment containing the record of the pa
triot's endeavor to AID the country
against which he was compelled to serve,
were brought to Washington tonight by
Thomas A. Byrne of Bladensburg. and
will he presented to the National Mu-
scum as an addition to the already large
collection of relics of the naval war in
1872

SO says Mrs. Josie Irwin, of
325 So. College ST., Nashville,
Tenn, of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
for female diseases equalled that at

during the lifetime of this wonderful
medicine has the demand for it been
so great as it is to-day.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and throughout the length and breadth
of this great continent come the glad
tidings of woman's sufferings relieved
by it, and thousands upon thousands
of letters arc pouring in from grateful
women saving that it. will and posi-
