JAMESON IN ENGLAND.
The Transvaal Raider Brought Home Foi
Trial In Great Britain.


LONDON Feb. 24.-The steamship Vic.
toria with DR. Jameson aboard, has ar
rived at Davenport from Port Natal
Two hundred and fifty Of Dr. Jalneson's
men have arrived In London and have
been sent to their homes. In spite Of the
secrecy which it was sought to maintain
as TO the time of their arrival a great
crowd gathered to receive them and greet
ed them with acclamations.
These men assert that the Beers lost 2sO
men killed and wounded in the fight at
Krugersdorp, in which DR.. Jameson was
captured.
The Times says, at appears that Dr.
Jameson and his officers have not yet been
formally arrested but thoy are considered
to be under military arrest" !"
The Times approves Of the appointment
of Earl Grey as administrator Of the Char
tered South Africa company and says:
ellis acceptance Of the post is an earnest
of tho intention Of the responsible author
titles to support and cooperate with Mr..
Cecil Rhodes in his projects for the in
ternal development of tho oompany's tor
ritory. During his sojourn in Africa
Earl Grey will cease to have any pecuniAry
interest other than that inherent to the
position of a director in the company and
will consider himself preoluded from tax
Ing any personal part in the pursuit OF
wealth. Briefly summarized, Mr.. Rhodes
devotes himself to developing the material
resources of Rhodesia and attracting n
large white poulation, while Earl Grey
will organize and initiate the establish
ment Of a great English community un-
der institutions appro1imating to the home

One Boy Killed and Several Injured at
Stamford.
STANFORD, Conn. Feb. 24.-By the col
lapse Of the roof Of an old building in
Dublin one boy was killed, another fatally
hurt, and several others were more or less
injured.
Patrick KilSelly, years old, was killed.
The injured are:
Bryan Kilkelly, 10 years old, brother OF
Patrick, bruised and internally injured ;
will die.
Antonio Demato, 10 years old severely
crushed and bruised.
Several other boys sustained various
minor cuts and bruises.
The building in which the accident oo-
CURED was on Meadow street, the land on
one side Of which the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad has taken for
extensive improvements. The old houses
which stood on the land were given to the
residents Of Dublin for firewood. Yestor-
day l2 boys went upon the second floor of
one of the houses and began cutting out
the studding posts and other available
material. They carelessly cut the lower
parts of rafters which supported the roof,
and almost without warning the roof gave
way, crashing down on them.

What the Editor Heard.

Miracle OF ti,e Eincteenth
Century.
WON the C1VNqa C0., N. p. Aadependent.)


(Trom he Cayu0a Co., ~. y, Independently
Hearing through Messrs. Allen & Burch,
druggists of Niles, that Mr.. Siias Z. Pen.
nell, a respected citizen Of that town had
been cured Of bad case of sciatic rheuma-
tism by the use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
fer Pale People, the editor Of the Cayuga
County Independent determined to know
the truth Of the matter and went out to
Niles. Mr.. Pennell is farmer and has a
neat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr. Pennell if il was true that he had
been cured Of a bad case Of rheumatism by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August 1891, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip, Just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life misery to
him but not preventing him from doing
some work on the farm. Soon after he was
loading hay when he slipped of the load
and hit his hip on the wheel. After this
he was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat so that
he could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put away some barrels Of cider which he had
made, when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident Of curing him
by the use Of the electric battery and medl-
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
some time. By this time his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side Of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other side and then pass off for q short time.
These pains would return regularly, affect.
ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to
relieve him and he began to despair of ever
being well. In the spring Of 1892 q relative
in another county read Of q case very simi.
lar to Mr.. Pennell's, which had been cured
by Pink p ills, and sent the article to him,
asking if it did not suit his case. 1t was
very similar and he determined to try them
He commenced taking Pink Pills and soon
felt better the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
and soon became able to work on the farm,
and in April or May he felt so free from
pain that he considered himself a well man
again. He says he has probably taken 20
boxes and able to do as good q days work as
any other man, and we can say that he
looks like hale and hearty man who had
never known sickness.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life end rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady n. Y, for Soc. per
box, or six boxes for $3.50.

An Honorable Record.

For more than half q century Wash
ington Fire COMPANY has stood as a
shield between FIRE and the public and
private property In our city. During
that time 1t has contributed It's full
share to the saving OF hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars to property owners
and insurance companies. whose ,Int
or several interests were threatened By
the great destroying element.
This company has been one OF the
most active aud enterprlsing OF those
which make up our admirable volunteer
service. It's equipment 10 unexcelled
the men are well drilled and ever ready to
respond to the call Of sslf-assumed

OF honorable sslf-sacrifcs and great public

There is Law In this state which makes
ita misdemeanor for sportsmen to use live

are never satisfied unless they are de
stroying animal life find It easy to buy
their pigeons here. take them to Clay

cripple the birds to their hearts ooutent
Trap shooting at live targets Is poor
sport and only At for meat hunters' to
