the Kaffirs pursued the retreating troopers
and made an attack upon the main COL
umn Of the Boer forces. The Kaffirs were
driven back, but the advance of the COL
umn has been retarded.
From the Boer settlements along the Let
abax river come reports of severe fighting
between isolated parties Of retreating Beers
and the Kaffirs, who are burning the Boer
nomesteads all along the river. The Beers
are fleeing before the Kaffir advance, TAX
Ing with them all their portable property;
but large quantities Of provisions and cat
tie have necessarily fallen iEto the hands
Of the Kaflrs. The latter have murdered
a number Of Boer farmers and their wives
and children, and the f1ercest feelings Of the
Beers have been aroused against the re-
bellious natives.
In the Zouthansberg district devilish out
RACES have been committed and large num-
bers Of women and children have been kill
ed and large amount Of property destroy
ed. In all the disturbed districts the mail
passenger coaches have been stopped, pas
sengers killed and the coaches looted and
destroyed and the mules stolen.
The Murchison road is entirely closed
The kaffirs are reported to have erected a
strong barricade across 1t at a point where
1t passes between two hills, and they are
said to have prepared to defend this point
vigorously.
The government is reinforcing its column
of troops as rapidly as possible, and II is
expected that an advance in force will be
made upon the Kaffirs today or tomor-
row.

There was a dense black cloud this morn

The defendants In the case were five In

addition there were about a dozen colore,a
ladies and gentlemen who were called as

were three colored lawyers who scrapped
continually with the Witnesses with the
defendants and with each other They had
hard work to keep their clients separate
and to segregate the parties to the fight
from the witness. Judge Mills looked wor-
ried. Ii was like watching the Kilkenny
cats In a triple-refectirg mirror But n
was lots of fun for the spectators at the
trial today.
Exhibit A in the case was a big board

PAINTED ON THE HEAVENS,
4 Remarkable Mirage of the City of
Toronto Shown mt Buffalo.

4 Remarkable Mirage of the CITY of
Toronto shown mt Buffalo.
Buffalonians who lifted their eyes toward
the northern sky between 10 and IL O'clock
yesterday morning saw there a beautiful
and wonderfully perfect mirage. 1t was the
city of Toronto. with it's harbor and the lit
tie island which lies in Lake Ontario a
short distance to the south. Toronto is
fifty-six miles north of Buffalo, but those
who first witnessed the phenomenon were
able to count the church spires i'm the
Canadian city.
The phenomenon is classed by natural
scientists as a mirage Of the third order
the objects looming up far above their real
level, and not inverted, as is the cases with
mirages Of the first and second class, but
appearing like a perfect landscape far away
in the sky.
The mirage showed the entire breadth of
Lake Ontario. projection east of the mir
rored Toronto being easily recognized as
Charlotte, suburb of Rochester. In
direct line between this point and Toronto
bay large side-wheel steamer could be
seen making her way. The vessel was the
Norseman. Far to the north of this steamer
were seen two dark objects surrounded by
smoke, and standing out from the CLASSY
surface of the water. They We're two large
steamers of the New York Central line, ply
ing between Lewiston and Toronto sail
boat, apparently a yacht. was the most
distinct of all the objects. Her mainsail
was set, and she was lying close to the
wind. She was seen to turn and careen
with the west wind, and then suddenly dis
appear, though nature had removed
slide for her magic lantern.
In the same way the whole great scene
began slowly to dissolve, a bank of black
clouds sweeping along and obliterating the
picture, to the disappoin tment of thou
sands who had swarmed to the tops of the
highest buildings. Experts who used fine
glasses in viewing the mirage say they were
able to discover the outlines of all the
streets of Toronto, and declared that a bet
ter view of the city could not be had with
out approaching within ten miles of it.
A careful examination of a map of the
country pictured in the sky showed that
the mirage was without the slightest dis
tortion. The gradual rise of the city as it
slopes back from the water was distinct
and the perspective had a natural appear
ance. Twenty thousand people saw the rare
spectacle.

There are two organizations Of fat men
In this city, and the fact that one of these
organizations was mixed UP in the police
scandal is the source Of annoyance 20 the
members of the other club. because of the
FEAR that the two organizations will be
confused In the minds of the public. II was
stated today ON behalf of the officers and
directors of the jolly Fat Mems Club that
IL is not their club. but the Fat Mems BEN

police scandal They state that they have
their own club house at el9 9th street
