way has won the suit recently begun in
the county court by State Railroad
Commissioner Osborne in his endeavor
to have the company reduce it's fares in
Michigan to 21a cents mile because its
last annual report showed that it was
earning over $4,000 per mile for its
mileage in this state. The company
contended that the law under which
suit was brought applied only to the
earnings of the road for carrying pas
sengers and baggage, and not the entire
earning capacity of the passenger trains.

ment with General Gatacre's force at
Stormberg. The sortie at Kimberley
last Sunday was an attempt to take the
Boer position at Kamperdam and to &C.
cure the waterworks. All the British
shots fell short.
Six hundred and seventy-two British
prisoners were taken at Stormberg. In

General Cronje maintained his position
and captured so British soldiers.

Will Retreat to Queenstown, as
He Cannot Proceed North.
HIS COMMAND IN A TIGHT PLACE.
Invasion of Free State Territory IL De-
layed acknowledgements For Him Cannot
Arrive For Several weeks-Number Of
British Captured Is 67a.


LONDON, Dec. 12.-No further news
has been received to remove the mys-
terry overhanging General Gatacre's re-
treat from Stormberg. He has not yet
forwarded the promised additional mes
sage and the censorship has prevented
the correspondents from explaining the
matter. Storlnberg is described as
stronger position that Laing's Mex.
The only road leads through lofty hills
and fanking is impossible. Colesburg
is also said to be an almost impregnable
position, and as no troops are available
to reinforce the columns acting in those
directions, it becomes evident that Gen
eral Gatacre's misfortune or error will
delay the invasion of the Free State
perhaps some weeks. 1t is exceedingly
probable that he will be compelled to
retire on Queenstown and to wait for
reinforcements, which can hardly reach
him until Sir Charles Warren's division
arrives at the Cape. The first detach-
ments will sail Saturday next Even if
General French is not compelled to re-
treat, he will be obliged to pause in his
advance.
1t now seems certain that the Seventh
division which is being mobilized at
Aldershot will be sent to South Africa.
No news has been received concerning
the Boer report of the capture of 50
prisoners at Modder River from Gen
eral Methuen's column. It is just
two months since the Transvaal ulti-
matum was delivered. Nine engage
ments have been fought and the British
have lost 566 killed, 2,207 wounded and
1,907 missing or prisoners.
The war Office has issued notice that
after January 1, that deduction will
be made from the pay Of soldiers serv-
ing in South Africa for wives and chill
dren. The order indicates belief that
the campaign will be long one. It is
announced from Cape Town that the
Beers have succeeded in repairing the
Leeuwfontein bridge, between Storm.
berg and Burghersdorp, which the Brit
tsh destroyed on retiring.
Commandant Swanepol, who COM
manded the Boer forces at Stormberg,
has been replaced by q Scotchman
named Robertson.
FREERE CAMP, Natal, Dec. 12.-The

LOOSE" ELECTRICITY CASE.
Judge Wheeler Gives $2, 900 Damages to the Plaintiff Against Naugatuck Electric T,jpht Comnany

Judge Wheeler Gives $2000 Damages
 to the Plaintiff Against Naugatuck
 Electric Light Company
 Judge Wheeler in Waterbury late yesterday afternoon gave decision in the most interesting electricity case coming before a Connecticut court for adjudication, the case, or cases, for there were two cases tried in the same court, of Charles Parks and wife against the Naugatuck Electric Light company The suit was brought to recover for injuries sustained by Mrs. Parks of Naugatuck from electricity escaped from the defendant companys wires, loose" electricity Tn the case of Charles Parks against the company Judge Wheeler allows the plaintiff $500 and costs and in the companion case of Charles Parks and wife against the company judgment is for the plaintiffs to recover $1,200, and each plaintiff costs. The total amount of the judg- ment is therefore S2,000 and costs for both suits The case occupied several days of trial and Judge Wheeler took rather longer time in decided the uues- tions raised than is usually his custom. Attorney John ONeil was counsel for the plaintiffs and Watrous & Day of New Haven for the defendant The in- juries were received by Mrs. Parks last winter by taking hold of an illumin- ated bush in her yard which had been charged with electricity from the com panys wires. The case will doubtless make electricity law for Connecticut before it is finished.
