A BATTLE IN MEXICO.
Revolutionists Chased Over the BaxAer to
Meet Defeat.

NEUvo LAREDO, Mexico, December
31.-A battle took place on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande river Friday, be
tween 15O revolutionists and so Mexican
troops. The revolutionists were COM
manded by Prudencio Gonzales, the same
man who successfully attacked the
Mexican troops opposite San Ignacio, a
few weeks ago. Lieutenant West of the
Third United States Cavalry and his
troops pursued these revolutionists so
closely that the latter crossed the river
into Mexico and struck camp of Mexi-
can troops. The revolution is attacked
the troops, who made determined re-
sistance, and after hard battle defeated
the revolutionists, who retreated. 1t is ru-
rnored that ten revolutionists were killed
and twelve wounded, including Pruden-
clio Gonzales, who escaped. The loss to
the troops is said to have been seven
killed and twenty wounded A large
force of Mexican troops is pursuing the
revolutionists who are thought to be
making their way to a rendezvous near
San MIGUEL where they will be rein
forced by 800 more man

A Mysterious Woman in Black in His Old
Haunts.

RHINEBEcK, N. Y, December 31.-The
people of this place are much excited
over the alleged appearance of woman
in black, who glides noiselessly along the
country roads at dead of night and dis
appears as mysteriously as did the head
less rider of Sleepy Hollow. She has
never been known to address anybody al
though she has met many. Her language
is the language of signs. She inva riably
halts long enough to stretch out her long
arm from beneath black veil and make
a kissing noise. She might say more if
anyone hesitated long enough to give her
the chance, but nobody has tarried as
yet. This strange apparition is describ-
ed by those who have seen it as a thin
woman, at least six feet four inches tall,
with slight stoop and long stride.
The woman in black as the apparition
is known, first made her appearance in
Rhinebeck about six weeks ago. She
had been parading the streets of the vii
lage just north of Poughkeepsie for sew
eral nights prior to that time, and the
people Of Rhinebeck thought she was a
myth. A number have testified to hav-
ing seen her, and not few have been
badly frightened.

NOT A POLITICAL MOVE.

The Dublin Councils Opinion of the Re-
cent Bomb Explosion.
DUBLIN, December 31.-At a meeting
of the municipal authorities today, the
Lord Mayor in short address referred
to the explosion that occurred here on
Saturday. He said he deplored the out
rage and denounced the perpetrators of
it. He expressed the hope that the ex-
plosion might not weaken the desire to
extend Justice to Ireland nor cause delay
in granting the country its rights. In
view of the fact that a classes equally
and heartily condemn the explosion, the
council, on motion of the high sheriff,
seconded by the Lord Mayor-elect, unan-
imously adopted a resolution condemn
ing the crime and expressing sympathy
with the family of Detective Synotte,
who lost his life through the explosion.
The resolution also. declared that the
council rejoiced in the fact that no politi-
cal significance could be attached to the
explosion.

AUGUSTA, December 31.-The 18th an

KILLED BY MASKED MEN.
wealthy Connecticut Man the Victim Of
Burglars.

BRIDGEpoRT, Conn, January JAS.
W. Beardsley, an aged and wealthy res
ident of this city, died this afternoon
from the effects of treatment received at
the hands of gang of masked men, who
robbed his house the night of December
23.
Mr.. Beardsley was 70 years of age.
About 9 on the night in question, three
masked men entered his house IN the
suburbs of this city. Mr.. Beardsley, a
man servant and two women were in the
house. Mr.. Beardsley resisted the rob-
bers and was thrown into a chair and
choked into submission. A cooked re-
volver was placed at his head and he
was compelled to give up about 500 in
money and valuable gold watch. The
man servant, at the point of a revolver,
was compelled to show one of the in
truders through while the burglar Sc
lected such articles as he desired to car
ry away.
