ou Thursday te hear the habeas corpus case.
Geerge Hrumui, or HoIseClty, Idaho, brother
or the congressman from the district, asked
rer the custody or Ills lti-year-eld daugh
ter, who from lulancy had been cared
rer by Geerge Heads, or Mlnersvllle,
her uncle. Though .there were but
two witnesses en the stand Hrumui and
his daughter tbe w hole day was consumed
lu taking thelr testimony. The rather testi
fied te all be had dene ter the girl. He had
bought two houses and permitted the 1 toads
family te remain In ene without paying rent
for nineteen years. They sold out a stock
or clocks and jewelry he lelt when he
went West, and never accounted for thorn.
He Bent home f'l.coe, or which fTOO was
te be paid en the house and the balance
used ter bis two children. He also sent
them cash and ether presents. He beard that
the girl was losing her sight and was tend
ing toward consumption. Her letters, morn morn
ever, showed that she was net being edu
cated as he wanted her te be. He wanted te
take her te Wills' hospital, and then te the
beneficial cllmate or Idaho, te finish her
education and regain her health. He con
cluded by saying that he would unt take her
against her will.
The girl, whose sympathizers packed the
court room, said : "I have never known any
parents but Mr. and Mrs. Heads. We have
a happy home. I won't go with my father
unless bv lerce. 1 bave eulv seen him twice
slnce my infancy and have no love for him.
He abandoned me and has never dene any
thing for me, as I understand It."
Judge Green, In summing tin, said it was
an tin fortunate case and the rather had been
grossly misrepresented. There was no evi

On Thursday evening the fourth lecture
In the course, given under the auspices of
the College Y. M. (!. A., was delivered lu the
chaiKilby Prof. J. If. Kersbner, Ph. I). Ills
subject was "Stliis." The speaker started
out by paying a glowing tribute te the scl scl scl
oiice or astronomy, placing It first In the rank
or the sciences.
The themoel his lecture was the aids v,e
have nl ready dorlved from inatlietnatlc.il
and physical science towards the Investiga
tion of the heavenly bodies. He thou went
en te show the relation the different planets
bear towards one another, the number stara
may usually be seen en a clear night by the
naked eye, tbe entire mnnber that may be
seen by intns of the t9lecope amounting te
between thirty and fifty millions.
He then speke or the sun, giving logic
reasens that It Is neither In a solid nor In a
liquid state, but gaseous, and or the many
dlUerent minerals ontenng Inte the com
position or the sun. He next took up the
sun's spots, their causes due te vlolent ex
plosions snd thelr periodical appearances.
Professer Kersbner compared the sun with
seme or the otber larger planets, and in con
clusion gave several very satisfactory theories
hew the heat and light of tbee bodies are
continually supplied, se that nene or them
run short or fuel. Finally Prof. Kersbner
said he would ass tire the audionce that after
ten bund red millions or years our sun would
bocemo se cold that everything would have
te perish. ,
The lecture throughout was Illustrated by
means or maps and charts se that It was by
no means a dry dtscourse. On tbe ether
hand It net only reflected the high scholar
ship of the lecturer, but at the same time was
highly appreciated bv the large and attentive
audionce that had come te hear blm. Dr.
Kersbner, as en many ether occasions, mani
festly illustrated the lieen and clear Insight
he has Inte this, his faverite sclcnca
Anether attractive feature In addition te the
lecture was the fine music rendered by the
CollegeOleoclub. Their selections last night
were taken from "The Chimes of Normandy."

facts about the alleged railroad steals ; hew
he had consented, and picked out Alderman
Jaehne as a premising subject; centrived te
meet him accidentally, as it were, new and
then, nnd managed in various ways te bring
up the rranchlse troubles until Jaehne be
came used te hearing the Itispocter talked of
them and began te talk hlmselC At each of
theso conversations Hyrnes get seme points,
and became convinced that money had been
used. Meauwhile District Attorney Martlne

in detail Just what be said and whom he
Implicated. That will appear In the proper
season. Jaehne said incidentally during the
Interview that ir things get much hotter he
was going te skip the town. 1 presume he
thought I was his geed friend. 1 thought
enough el film, anyhow, te have him looked
after closely that night. Fp till 10 o'clock
this morning two detectives were en his
track nil the time. At that hour I made my
rejiert te the district attorney and received n
warrant for the arrest. While 1 was lu Mr.

wise tbe place would be taken by storm and
many lives might be sacrificed. Mr. Heed
returned no reply te this note, but Impris

male servants In tbe house were furnished
with fire arms and posted at points of ad

a general tusllade against the pest and rear
of the house. This, howevor, was answered
with such a general and accurate fire from
the besieged that the brigands became de
moralized niter the second round. Then the
defenders sallied from the castle, partially
cut off the retreat and captured four of the
outlaws. These men, with the messenger
and several ethers who were left wounded

Instead or doing se he skipped out and was
net heard el for several weeks. It was
learned that he went te Swatara, Dauphin

that town without having secured a divorce.
Sheriff Tomllnsen was given the necessary
papers te arrest him for uet complying with
the order te pay his wlfe the weekly allow

Swatara and secured his man. He took
him te Harrlsburg and had te wait some

Miller was given permission te walk
np and down at the station, and
watching his opportunity be made a bold

the station Miller had gained some headway
before the sheriff ceulu get a chance te sheet

Miller run taster. He was finally captured In
