Died OF ApOpleXY.

a copy of the report of the State
chemist to the Commonwealth
Attorney of Northampton, sent to us
by Mr.. Edward Leatherbury, is to
the effect that the State chemist, in
his analysis of the stomach of John
Watson, found no indication of poison
and that he probably died of
apoplexy. MIR. Leatherbury in a
letter to us further states that, "the
charge and all has been withdrawn
and will be no case" We are glad to
be able to publish the result of the
analysis, which relieves him of the
grave charges which were made
against him.

Mr.. 5. r. Sterling, the popular
manager of the Ches :onnessex Crab
Co., is preparing for the coming sea
son. Mr.. Sterling contemplates run,
ming two houses, one on Chesconnes-
sex and the other on Onancock creek.
He has been buying and shedding
crabs at these two places for three
years, with great advantage to our
crab scrapers, as they can sell their
crabs right at home and not have to
sail ten or fifteen miles to sell their
daily catch. as in times past. and the
prices paid here are the same as our
people used to receive at distant
markets. 1t is to be hoped that the
industry will prove beneficial to the
Crab Company as well rs to our pee
pie during the coming season, for II
large majority of them get their sup
port out OF it during the summer
some by catching the crabs, others
by attending to the crab grounds and
packing of the crabs for shipment.

LONDON, July 27.-One of the Char
tered South Africa company's subs1d-
larry committee yesterday voted $4,000
to assist the Chartered South Africa
company in suppressing the Matabele
revolt This subsidiary committee also
resolved to ask the other companies to
Join in raising f150000 for that purpose.
The press correspondents at Bulu-
wayo, in, eirsdispatches this morning,
complain thatithe authorities are hush
ing up the details of the recent fights,
which are said to be not so favorable
to the British forces as the reports al
lowed to be sent indicate. These CORE
spondents assert that persons arriving
at Buluwayo from the front report that
the Matabele rebels manifest extreme
confidence and display great arrogance,
jeering at the whites and calling them
towards.
The Chronicle publishes a letter from
Buluwayo this morning giving char
acteristic description of Burnham, the
American scout, who has done such eX-
cellent service against the Matabeles by
his shooting of Mlimo, the Matabele
god, in the Mattoppo hills, while he was
in the very act of performing some
religious mummeries by which he has
maintained his hold on the supersti-
tious natives.
The Chronicles correspondent says of
the American:

At the beginning of the civil war he
was engaged on the Cincinnati Gazette,

LONDON, July pa dispatch from
Cape Town reports that intelligence re-
ceived from Buluwayo is that the Ma
tabeles are again massing around that
place. The situation seems no better
than it was last April. when Buluwayo
was practically besieged for weeks.
Various operations, some of them
reported as highly successful, and in
which Cecil Rhodes was an active fig
ure, have been conducted against the
insurgent natives, but they were APP
pareptly Intellectual in stamping out the
diSaffection. The news received yes
terday of Captain Nicholson's positive
reverses in the Matoppo hills and the
withdrawal OR retreat of his forces,
deepens dissatisfaction with the state
of affairs in Rhodesia.
Today reports from Buluwayo are
that Captain Nicholson is remaining
there in order to guard the laager and
that the pickets around the town have
had to be largely increased owing to
the massing of hostile natives in the
reighborhood.
A telegram from Gwelo reported in a
dispatch from Cape Town, says that
after HurreIl left there on July II to
Join the forces at Fort Victoria, he had
a. sharp engagement with the enemy
at Balingwe, which lasted for four
hours. Three of his troopers were Kill
ed and Major Hurrell afterward joined
the forces at Fort Victoria and proceed
ed from there towards Noeman's kraal.
Heavy firing has since been heard, but
the result of the engagement was not
known at Gwelo when the telegram was
dispatched.
The unfavorable news from Rhodesia
renews the suggestions for the dispatch
of additional imperial forces to assist
against the Matabeles Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain has shown himself
loath to agree to this step, it is beiiev-
ed in political circles, owing to the Jeai-
Gus fears certain to be aroused In the
Transvaal. These would not be lessen
ed if the imperial reinforcements were
to be sent at this time by the fact that
Cecil Rhodes is on the ground and

IN ALONELY GULCH.
STAGE HELD UP AND MAIL BAGS
RIFLED.
Little Doubt But That the Robbery
Was the Work of the ReOrganiz-
ed DOolin Gang.

WICHITA, Kan, July Pin lonely
gulch several miles west of the village
OF Lacey in the northern part of Okla
homa territory, the regular mail stage
was held up this afternoon by band
of outlaws, who ri1ed the express and
mail sacks taking all the registered let
tiers and all the valuables carried by
the two passengers in the coach. There
is little doubt that the robbery was the
work of the reorganized gang of ''BilP'
Doolfn, the condemned murderer and
outlaw, who escaped from the Jail at
Guthrie several weeks ago with {, dozen
desperate cutthroats and robbers. A
big force of United States officers has
been in pursuit of the outlaws ever
since their escape.
