The Obstacles In the Way Of the Capture
of Mandalay.

of Mandalay.
RANGooN, November 27.-An official dis
patch from General Pendergast, com
mander of the British expeditionary force
says that the British had a successful fight
with the Burmese at Hagan, on the gath
inst, and expect to reach Mandalay, the
capital of Burmah, tomorrow. Mandalay
is about three miles from Irrawaddy river,
so it will be rather far away for anything
like effective fire from the British gunboats
should they get up to it. There is a mas
sive brick wall around the city's four sides
Each side has a gate, and over the gates
are towers with seven roofs, all of them
bright with gliding. At regular intervals
there are smaller towers which serve the
purpose of guard houses. TIL walls art
surrounded by a deep ditch $50 feet wide.
The British expeditionary force has cap
tured Mangyan after a sharp fight with the
Burmese. Three Of the British were
wounded.

THE A BURMESE.

The British expedition reached Nyeengan
on the 25th instant, and proceeded for
Mandalay the same evening. The Madras
Sappers, supported by the Hampshire Reg
imenu. scaled the earthworks at Pagan,
and the enemy bolted into the jungle. The
Burmese were strongly ertrenched at
Nyeengan. their line extending two miles.
They opened sharp fire on the British
fotilla and the latter replied with shells.
After two hours OF ~bombarding the enemy
fled into the jungle, leaving thirteen men
killed and a large number OF wounded.
The Burmese leader FASTENED to Manda-
lay. 1t appears that the Burmese import
ed their ammunition in biscuits and sar-
dine tins and their rifles as consisnments
of machinery. The inhabitants are de-
lighted at the arrival Of the British.

AmOnq The Doctors !!
AN EPICUREAN RAID On DIR. STEELE
OF COALITION

One day last week, DIR. r. M. Steele, Of
Coalton appeared at the Standard Office
: with an urgent request that we attend {
dinner party at his residence at Coalition
on Wednesday. The Doctor is one OF
those genial men whom you cannot refuse
favor, Especially when the favor is
mostly to yourself0 and we attended
There were in attendance Drs. G. K
Crummlt, B. F. Kitchen, w. E. Williams
J. B. johnson, W. III. Monahan, and p. F
Jacobs, of Jackson, and Drs. Steele and
Ray, of Coalition, with Gerken and ourself
reporters. John Darling-fat, jolly, good
natured John-was there, and did his
best to make the occasion pleasant one
an undertaking.
In company with DIR. J. B. Johnson we
got in just before noon, and found the
group of Doctors already there enjoying
themselves in a royal manner. Pap Crum-
NIT was in his jolliest mood, and we young
er folks were compelled to keep a vigilant
outlook to prevent his getting the joke
on us in some way. After pleasant hour
spent in the parlor and Office of the Steele
|
was dinner. And such din
nerl The only regret on the part of those
present was that they could not eat it all.
Uncle John Darling was placed at the
head of the table. Imagine if you can,
| Mr.. Darling sitting at the head of the ta-
| BILE, and ranging from that position along
down one side, Drs. Williams, johnson
and Monahan, and you have some idea of
the kind of stomachs that assaulted that
side of the table. Crumit, Gerken and
ourself, all slim fellows, were placed upon
the opposite side of the table. Gerken,
Darling and ourself labored at a disad-
vantage. Not being Doctors, we did not
know just how much to eat. The Doc
tors all knew how much to eat, but did
not know when to quit. So, taken all to-
gether, the good Mrs. Steele saw that din
ner disappear in good deal less time
than it took to prepare it.
After dinner Uncle Joe Wilson and his
son John came in and greeted the Jack
son crowd with an old-fashioned hand
shaking. We all spent the greater part
of the afternoon with DR.. Steele and fami-
ly, then went over to Darling's and spent
an hour or two. Here DR.. johnson went
out to call upon some old friends, and af-
ter while came walking back with fine
new gray derby hat on. After few min
utes he noticed that it was not his hat,
and he was obliged to hire boy to return
it. The Younger men had good joke on
the Doctor, but he enjoyed it as much as
any of them. At supper time we all
struck out for Jackson, well pleased with |
this merry day spent with DR.. Steele and |
family.
DR.. r. M. Steele is graduate of the
Columbus Medical College, and physi-
clan of wide practical experience. He
has been located at Coalton as practition-
er for about three years, but he will re-
move to Athens in about month, wherehe
has formed partnership with DR.. Gors-
lene While the people of Jackson Coun-
ty regret to lose the Doctor, the people of
Athens County will rejoice in the addition
of splendid family, and a first-class
to say one of the best
friends and neighbors in existence.

which the young gentleman grasps the

The conclusion seems to be that it is neith-

will probably hang on.

The Early Coal Days !!
How AN ECCENTRIC COAL DIGGER
BEAT His EMPLOYER!

James L. Rice, who is entitled to the
honors of discoverer of the Jackson Shaft
Coal, called last week and. as Squire
Howell said. "grumbled," at an alleged in
accuracy in our statement with regard to
the first Coal Shaft in this place. The
only mistake was that we stated that
Crooks & Linn were the first operators,
and Mr.. Rice a workman, while Mr. Rice
was really workman and proprietor of the
mine, afterward selling out his interest to
Crooks & Linn. Mr.. Rice discovered the
Shaft Coal prior to the digging of the tan
yard we'll before spoken of. The first time
it was discovered by him was on the prop
erty just below the new skating rink,
while digging a well. The Coal was
found at depth of about fifty-five feet.
Mr.. Rice has long been engaged in the
business of sinking tube wells, and as
well-digger he discovered the Jackson
Shaft Coal, which in turn led to the dis
covery and development of the Wellston
vein. Mr. Rice is entitled to gold medal
from the Coal trade.
There were no strikes in the early Coal
days in this County, but there was whisky
always, and occasionally digger would
fall victim to his appetite. One of these
was the eccentric old Scotchman, Dick
Snedden, who died in the Infrmary. He
was an excellent digger. and his employer,
Mr.. Isaac Stevison, declares that he could
dig hundred bushels per day, right
along Dick at one time worked and
saved his money until he had some two
hundred dollars coming to him. His en-
! ployer gave him one hundred, which he
very soon made away with. on big Spree
and came back after the other hundred,
which the employer refused to give him,
knowing he did not need it until he So
bered up. Finally Mr.. S. proposed to pay
Dick with a note, having some time to
run-hoping that Dick would be sober
when the note became due But he went
away shortly after getting the note, and
came back riding a Young horse. He had
traded Mr.. SteviSon'S note to Mr.. Hamil-
ton, farmer living some distance off, for
the horse, which he sold at a great sacri-
flee, thus securing in this roundabout
way, the money with which to get whisky.
We are not finding fault with any pO-
litical paper for criticizing the Prohibi-
tionists, but we do find fault with any
paper for deliberate lying. The Repub-
lican press cannot afford to adopt Demo
cratic methods. When any newspaper
writer solemnly asserts that Prohibition
increases the number of saloons, he SIM
ply lies, and knows that every intelligent
man knows that he lies, that is all there
is of it.

Parting of the Ways.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York San writes: The conference of
Democratic leaders gathered here from
number of States for the last week have
had in view the vital necessity of placing
the Administration ON line of policy
which cannot be better described than by
saying that it is the same as has been
steadily advocated by THE sun.
The President has been kindly and plain
ly told that on no other can his Admins
tration hope for success, and that by going
ahead on line displeasing to the represen-
tatves of the Democratic sentiment of the
country, he will speedily come to the part
ing of the ways
In these conferences such Democratic
leaders as Randall Barnum, Smaley, Beck
Voorhees,, Payne, aud Others have taken II
prominent part. Mr. Randall's recovery so
far AS to be able to be active was the signal
for n comparison OF views.
The Administration, they hold, must be
Democratic or Mugwump. If it is to be
Democratic, it must take more distinctly
the line indicated by Secretary Manning's
action rather than that of the Presidents.
II is one thing to have Democrats 'ppoint-
ed to office, but another TO have ID. mocrais
appointed in accordance with the wishes
OF those Democrats to whom the party, II
it is TO prosper, must look to fight its bat
ties in the future.
If there is 10 be no mistake about the
grounds of present expectations, the latter
ider idea is 30 prevail, and the Mugwumps
will have to be content with what they
have got or will get hereafter only by con
mon consent.
