state give Shaw, rep, for governor o.

showing the British garrison not mere
~ standing on the logged defensive,
put executing series of brilliant sor-
ties. Accounts from different sources
agree that the laconic official descrip-
ton of Thursdays engagement as IAN
effective shelling of the Boer laager'
was unduly modest. 1t appears that
General Sir George Stewart White sent
a strong force of cavalry and infantry
to attack the Beers at Tatham's Farm
about ten miles to the northeast, near
Besters, and apparently achieved a sur
prise, the Beers being caught on the
open Veldt and cut to pieces and their
camp captured. Encouraged by this
success General White decided to risk
an even more important engagement on
the following day. which was again
justified by success.
Ladysmith had been isolated and a
Boer force had intercepted the railway
between Ladysmith and Colenso This
force on Friday had descended upon
Colenso and, as shown by the despatch
es from Estcourt, had compelled a hur-
ried abandonment of Colenso and re-
tirement of the .British to Estcourt
General White had ascertalned that the
Beers were attacking Colenso, but he
was not aware Of the British retirement.
He had determined, therefore, to at
tack the Beers in the rear, thus hop
ing to achieve the double object of
drawing off an attack upon the weak
garrison of Colenso and, possibly. of re-
opening communications southwark.
The Beers had advanced southwark un-
til they had occupied the hills north Of
Tugela river and dominating Calenso on
the other side of the stream. The hill
slopes to a plain that reaches to the
banks of the Tugela.
General Whites division caught the
Beers in the rear, and after the hills
had been shelled. the British infantry
stormed the position Meanwhile the
British cavalry swept round the hills,
and, as the retreating enemy descended
into the plain with British bayonets be-
hind them and the river In front of
Them they We're charged by the cavalry
and seemed to have perished almost to
a man. The British then returned to
without coming into touch
with the Coenso garrison, which had
retired to Estcourt.
Sundays despatch from Estcourt,
however, showed that an armored train
had been sent back TO Colenso to re-
pair the line and the next news may
possibly be of the restoration of COM
with Ladysmith. While the |
British troops were thus engaged In sue
3essful endeavors to wipe out the Mich |
,lson's nek disaster, the situation in |
side Ladysmith as shown by an official |
despatch from the general at Estcourt,
vas most satisfactory, encouraging
lope that Sir George White may yet
retrieve his shaken reputa-
ion and that his force may emerge tr-
lmphant from the ordeal through which
t is now passing.

nRAMBLEroN En.E. BRIDGE.
FIRST PRICE NAMED REDUCED
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

A meeting of the special committee
appointed to report as to the best means
OF securing free bridge from The
First Ward to Brambleton held a meet
ing yesterday. City Attorney TAYLOR
appeared before the committee, and
stated that he had prepared the reso-
iutions to be presented to the Coun-
ellis at the next meeting.
All OF the questions relating to the
proposition to buy the Holt street
bridge was discussed, and the city at
torney was authorized to offer the
bridge company $1,000 for their proper
~.
1t will be remembered that some
months ago the committee agreed to
pay $4,000. The committee, since then.
has made closer investigation, and
say that they do not believe the bridge
Is worth as much as the amount Offer
ed; therefore. they have cut their bid
$1,000. The price named by the COM
pany was $4,000.
1t is said that the committee do not
believe that the offer will be accepted.
They are of the opinion that, another
thoroughfare through Mariner street
will improve property and develop the
ii7ess ~ thereby increasing the amount
OF revenue now received from real es-
tate.
