The field piece was fired several times
by the British. but did no damage.
"The enemy approached the lower
fort in two columns. the Indians under
Brant and the British under Sir John
Johnson. They fired a few shots at
the fort from the mortar and then the
two columns united and went on down
the valley toward the Mohawk river.
On the night of the 18th they encamp-
ed near Sloansville. where they buried
their mortar. On their way down the
Schoharie to the Mohawk they sent
out parties of Indians in every direc-
ton to burn and destroy.
"On the morning of the 18th they
resumed their march and came out of
the woods at Auries creek and crossed
the Mohawk and proceeded along the
Tribes hill and Caughnawaga districts.

as far west as Garoga Creek. at Pala-

tine Church were not destroyed by
Brant, as he had promised before leav-
ing Canada not to destroy them.
During the time of this raid the
troops under Gen. Van Rensselaer,.
Col. Harper and Lieut.. Col. Veeder had
been gathered to prevent the British
forces from ever returning to Canada.

Scientists today are paying more at
tention than ever before to some of
the remarkable properties and phe-
nomena of light.
Since the discovery of those Won
derful radioactive substances, radium
and polonium, there has been distinct
stimulus given to the study, not only OF
radioactive substances but also to the
deeper investiga ton of these several
strange manifestations of light, so i'm
perfectly understood as yet, which
have been designated by the X-rays,
actinic rays and ultra violet rays.
William J. Hammer, a prominent
consulting electrical engineer of this
city, whose tastes have led him to make
a special study of these subjects, and
who is we'll known as a lecturer before
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, the Franklin institute, of
Philadelphia; the Electro Chemical So
ciety and other learned bodies, has re-
turned recently from a trip abroad,
during which he devoted much time to
familiarizing himself with the most re-
cent developments in this fascinating
field of scientific research. Some of his
observations are about to be published,
under the auspices of the societies with
which he is affiliated. and in one Of
these reports, an advance copy of
which is furnished by him to the New
York Herald, he discusses the remark

sen, of Denmark, with the ultra violet
rays in their physiological applications.
While in Copenhagen the American
engineer had the privilege of visiting
in Rosenvaengat, a suburb of that city
the famous Finsen Light institute. and
there. under the personal direction of
DR.. Finsen. he was enabled to investi-
gate this peculiar system of treatment
and its results. The institute is now
filed with patients undergoing treat
ment from all parts of Europe. 1t

of them, that might well-be envied by

discovered some forty years ago by one
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk, in
the garden Of his cloister-a principle
which is known to science as Mendens
law of heredity. Mendel, and other lat

plants, and the little animals in the

it for the higher organisms.
Menders law was originally discov-
cred by series of pretty. experiments
in the cultivation of garden flowers in
which he crossed diferent9yarieties of
ordinary garden peas and carefully
watched the result. The result prov
ed that if a pea with yellow cotyledons,
as botanists call the seed leaves of the
young plant, were crossed with one
having green cotyledons, all the peas
resulting from the process would have
yellow cotyledons. If these peas were
crossed with others having similar yell
low cotyIedons the result still followed
that yellow was the characteristic
color of the seed leaves. But if the
peas descended from the original cross
ing were -polIinated or crossed
with each other the result would be
one green seeded pea for every three
yellow ones. In other Words, the peas

crossing that did not appear until the
second generation. and lthen only in

might be considered latent. BY the
discovery and study of this curious Sc

monk evolved law that now, accord
ing to modern scientists, bids fair to
prove as fundamental to right under
standing of heredity as the law of def

Science Is on Match.
To say that science watches day by
day, the development of hereditary Pc
culiarities in many happy families of
guinea pigs, mice or rabbits imme-
diately suggests question: How
can one detect the inherited character

guinea pig, one might say. is very like
another guinea pig. and one rabbit

WASHINGTON, July g. = President
Roosevelt has pardoned Emilio Vilamor. a
prominent Filipino, who in December, 1900,
was sentenced to be hanged for murder.
This sentence was afterward communted to
ten years imprisonment. Villamor was n
member of an insurgent band operating in
Luzon. They captured Marielo Gadunga,
a native corporal of police, who, in addi-
ton to being a corporal, acted as a spy for
the American army. and this fact was
generally known. On one occasion while
within the enemy's lines he was captured
tried by court-martial for being a spy, con-
victed and shot. Villamor was an officer of
the insurgent army and was on the court
martial that tried and disposed Of Gadunga
1t was for this that Villamor tried
and sentenced. He has served a term of
nearly three years. His pardon was recon-
mended by army officers and the secretary
of war on the ground that Villamors Of
Tense was really political and that he was
entitled to a pardon under the amnesty
proclamation of July 4, 1902 The President
has approved this recommendation.

DENOUNCED AS A FRAUD
DAKOTA DIVORCE SCORED BY AN
ENGLISH LAWYER,
Whose Client Was Awarded S125.OOO.
Which DIR. Lance, the Correspond
ent Must Pay.

LONDON, July 29.-The validity of Da-
kota divorces in England was again raised
to-aay before the president of the Divorce
Court, Sir Francis Neune, in the suit for
divorce brought by d. s. Constantine,
against his wife, who is a daughter of
Stephen Rally, a member of Rally Bros,
well known in New York as we'll as in Lon
don. The husband charged his wife with
bigamously marrying DR.. Lance the family
physician. Mr.. Constantine obtained a jul
dicial separation from his wife in 1892
John Lawson Walton, counsel for the pc
titioner, explained the subsequent proceed
ings follows: This delicately nurtured
lady of Belgravia went TO a wild district
of the EARTH emigrated to the half set
tied State of Dakota, became an American
citizen, stayed six months there, fraudu-
lently obtained So-called divorce and mar
ried the correspondent there thus using the
Dakota laws for her own purposes This -
continued Mr.. Walton, was a fraud on
civilized Jurisprudence"
The jury found the respondent and core
spondent guilty of adultery, awarded SIPS
900 damages against DR.. Lance and also
found the petitioner guilty of the counter
charge of adultery. His petition, therefore,
was dismissed and argument on the points
of law involved was postponed until to-
morrow.

pany as a Sub-contractor 1t Is said that
Weight had to pay the latter $3.50, 900 q year
Owing to fines and penalties for service
that was not UP to the contract, he de-
clined TO continue, but finally agreed to keep
up the service until the end of this month
The new contract Is for $40 900 a year and
suit will be instituted for the recovery of
the difference between this amount and

FAVORS PER DIEM SYSTEM.
Action of the Railway Transportation
Association Committee.

DETROIT, Mich, July 29.-The Railway
Transportation Associa ton of the United
States met to-day and considered the per
diem system of handling cars. A commit
tee appointed to investigate the system re-
ported favorably as follows: 'It is the be-
lief that the intention of the settlement
was to facilitate the return of each car to
its owner promptly on its release from the
original road, and that it was in no way
compensation to the owner of the car when
in local use on foreign lines, in which serv-
ice the owner has no interest whatever, but
rather that the rate of 20 cents was to cover
the use of the car in service while carrying
freight over two or more lines in which
they are all interested.
Many car movements indicate that the
foreign cars are not Kept either en- route
home or moved in the homeward direction
after release from the original load. The
results of this practice are that cars are i'm
reasonably detained on foreign lines and
that without the consent of the owner they
are used for the movement of traffic in
which the own is not in the least con-
cerned and we wish to emphasize and to
have this association recognize the appar-
ent growing tendency of this evil"

dent, Thomas r. Liner, Hooking Valley;

CAPT. EVEN TESTIfIES
AND is ESCORTED BACK TO CAMP
BY THE MILITARY.
Chief Witness Against Jett and White
Says He Was Afraid to Tell the
Truth Before.

CYNTHIANA, KY, July 2e-While the
defense has subpoenaed over hundred
witnesses to impeach those testifying for
the commonwealth. and prove alibis for
Jet and White. in the Marcum murder
case, the prosecution is also securing many
valuable witnesses that could not be served
during the first trial at Jackson, Ky. Of
ficers arrived to-day from Breathitt coun-
ty with Samuel Little, who is considered a
stronger witness than either B. j. Even
or John L. Patrick. 1t is stated that Samuel
Little not only saw Jet and White just
before and after the shooting, but he also
witnessed the shooting in the courthouse.
Little was arrested last night by the SOL
diers while in hiding and brought here by
a deputy. Little is related to Curtis Jet.
John Freeman, another important witness
for the commonwealth, who is said to have
fed to the mountains during the trial at
Jackson last month, was also brought in
by deputy. Both will be held until they
are called by Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd.
Capt. B. ]. Even was the first witness
called by the commonwealth. Much inter-
est was manifested in his testimony. He
was subjected to a rigorous cross-examina-
ton by the attorneys for the defense. After
his testimony Judge Osborne asked him if
he desired guards to take him across the
river to the camp. He said that he desired
guards to escort him, and he was tempo
rarily placed in one of the jury rooms until
the military was called. He was taken
back to Camp Licking. On the witness
stand it developed that he had made diff
ferent statements to Judge Hargis and
others Immediately after the killing Of
Marcum in Breathtt county. He gave as
his reasons that he was afraid to say other
WISE as he was afraid Of Hargis and Cal
lahan. He said that Hargis and Callahan
and Combs had called him into consultation
Immediately after the. killing and told him
what to say, and that he had agreed to do
so, as he was afraid of being killed then
and there. This created some stir in the
courtroom, and Immediately after he had
left the stand some applause was started,
and Judge Osborne promptly squelched it,
Captain Even gave as his reason for leav-
ing Sunday night that he feared that
guard would be provided for him.
