G. M. Lang. master painter Of the
Northern and Providence divisions of the
Old Colony, has retired from that posi-
tion and accepted similar one, which
will include the Old Colony's system of
outside painting on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad. His friends
presented him with sideboard at his
home In Dorchester last Saturday night.
The question of railroad crossings on
the Old Colony line Mt Attleboro is
likely to come up sooner than people have
expected and Is hard TO answer satisfac-
torily. People W ere led to think that the
road might be moved east OF the village,
and SO desired. but those most cognizaut
with the matter had little hope of it. The
idea Of raising Park street met with
pronounced opposition, while the idea OF
bridging 1t ana lowering the street pre-
eented difficulties on account of the TACT
that 1t could not be lowered much with
out reaching water. Surveyors have
been busy for some little time and ap-
p4rontly completed their work. An old
Idea Is now revived, that of lorg bridges
et different points TO relieve the crossings.
The road bed TO remain undisturbed.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-H Rider Haggard, the novelist, has written long letter to The Times ito dispel the notion current in some circles in England that Lobengula is an innocent and worthy savage on whom the Chartered company is forcing quar- rel"
 Haggard relates that Lobengula, for an .noffensive remark about beingR pretender to his throne, had a British captain-Pat- terson by name-and a sergeant sent to his camp on a mission by Sir Bartle Frere in 1878 and had them. foJtlly murdered on their return journey, together with youth named Thomas, whom they had engaged from Lobengula's own camp.
 The government never avenged their deaths. He tHaggard) proved the murders and describes them in detail. Some of the stories told of Lobengula," he says, "are too devilish for print. If ever innO- cent blood cried to heaven for vengeance, it cries against Lobengula-'' Haggard urges the government, even at some cost, to re tain Bechuanaland and Mashonaland.
 CAPE TOWN, Oct. 12.-Lobengula is re ported to be encamped with the pick of his troops between Buluwayo and Fort Char ter, on the Shangani river, but he has sent all his property northward. He has pre- pared canoe fleet to cross the Zambesi in readiness to retreat if he should be de

WISCONSIN MINERS STARVING
Bread Riots Have Taken Place, and Hun
 dreds Are Destitute.

ASHLAND, Wis, Oct. 12-There is much trouble on the Gogebic range, and more is promised unless some measures can be de vised to furnish employment for the large numbers of men now out of work and with scant prospects of getting any. Several bread riots have occurred, and the pros pect of more occurring is not diminished by the fact that immediate starvation stares hundreds in the face unless some provision is made by which they can be certain of sustenance for themselves and families.
 Leading men from that section pronounce the situation serious in the extreme. Around Hurley the suffering is reported to be intense, and over 5OO people are clamor- ing for work and bread.
 About the Elm%Aod district and across the Michigan lineS. least 900 are out of work. There is at present no hope of enl- ployment for them. and at least half of this number are burdencd with families

The senator spoke with great force and animation throughout and opposed repeal with his first and last word. He showed remark able vigor and when he had finished did not appear greatly fatiGued.
 At 9 o'clock this morning Mir Voorhees, moved to lay on the table the amendment to the Voorhees, repeal offered by Senator Peffer. This was carried, after some par hamentary fencing, by q vote of B by l20. Senator Dubois, republican and silver man, refused to vote. This is this the first incident of the kind in the history of the senate. The senator insisted in not voting although the senate declined to excuse him.
 Senator Martin took the floor about 10 o'clock and will probably speak all day, Senator German was then asleep in the committee room.
 The silver men pursued tactics of ob- struction all day, leaving the hall and b., aking the quorum at different times. It Is believed that the continuous session will prove failure and that the question will have to be settled by compromise.
