enemies among the family OF nations
than England She may be pretty hard
pressed In her South African campaign

what was originally counted upon. At
the critical moment In what has I'M
cxpectedly developed into really
great campaign she may md herself the
object Of counter moyn on the part OF
Russia and France. II was to spike

STRANGE WILL SUSTAINED.

Hearing on Will of Gilbert Fuller, of l Lebanon, in Superior Court, l Norwich, Dec. 15.-In the superior
 court in Norwich, on Tuesday, Nancy J. Goodrich's appeal from probate was called for trial The appellant by her attorneys, Messrs. Charles B. Matthew
 man, of New Haven, and Clarence E.
 Bacon, of Mlddletown, made a motion
 for a postponement on the ground of
 the illness and consequent inability to
 be present of one of the important wit
 nesses The motion was opposed by
 Frank T. Brown, counsel for the appel
 lee, and Roger Wellss, of Hartford, who appears for the American Bible society, one of the beneficiaries of the Fuller

 Gilbert Fuller, of Lebanon, died in May last. leaving an estate valued at some eight thousand dollars. to the Aerican Bible society to aid in the maintenance of some church and cut ting off his sister, Mrs. Goodrich, and only heir entirely, It is claimed on the part of the appellant that MT. Fuller was at the time of making the will of unsound mind, and not capable of dis posing of his property.
 The appellee called as the first wit ness the subscribers to the will in ques- tion, of whom there were five. Among them was Secretary of State Huber Clark, of Willimantic. The appellant called three witnesses to testify to the mental condition of the testator. Gene ral Agent D. w. Thrall, of the State Humane society, told of going to the Fuller house in May, 1888, and finding Mrs Fuller seriously i'll and badly neg lected by her husband. She had no attendance, and was in pitia- ble condition He stated that he or dered MT. Fuller to have physician and nurse care for his wife, and that Fuller complied with the order.
 At the adjournment of court Wednes- day night the case for the appellant had not all been put in and several impor- tant witnesses were expected to be put on the stand this morning.

| of red-stoned kopjes, a favorite position with them. All night long they had
 thus lain out in the rain. In this way
 they were concealed in the holloWs of
 all the hills in the neighborhood, ready
 to crown the ridges and deal death with 1 their rifles the moment they were called
 upon to do so, or to scurry to the base
 of the hill and ride off like a flash of
 lightning should the order be to pursue ] English scouts or to concentrate on any given point The Boers were exultant
 over their easy entry into Natal, and
 were confident of being able to drive the English soldiers back to Durham. They said they were thirteen thousand strong
 between Dundee and Ladysmith. They were on the point of attacking Dundee, | and were confident of capturing it. | They had occupied Elandslaagte be- | cause, in doing so, they cut the line of communication between Dundee and Ladysmith. They were waiting to give
 battle to the English force which must
 come up. they argued, to the relief of
 Dundee. Their talk was of the fedora
 tion of Dutch-speaking states they in
 tended to establish in South Africa, and
 they spoke bitterly of the 'capitalist'
 who had, they said, been the cause of this war.
 On the afternoon of the second day of our Imprisonment there was an alarm that the English were approaching.
 The Boers had been sitting around camp-firss, cooking their food, or trying the effects of English clps and uniforms taken from the captured train. In five tia- god61aI and the men were far out on the rain-beat- en veldt. It was a false alarm, and in less than half an hour they were all back again. After the alarm several of the Boers in the canteen became noisy and quarrelsome and it appeared to the prisoners that the leaders were trying to get those rougher spirits out of the way lest they should attempt to do vio- fence to the ''rooineks." Two of the Boers started fighting, and in the scuf- f1e entered the small room where the prisoners were sitting and standing, with a Boer guard, rifle in hand, sta- tioned at the door. The combatants were soon separated, and the night again closed with a smoking concert. By the time it was ended the field cor net, overcome with fatigue, was asleep in his chair. He had spoken earlier in the proceedings, of the strange specta- cle of captors and prisoners thus sitting together in harmony, though on the morrow the captors would be engaged in a conflict of life and death He was killed, I was told, on the following day. The concert closed about midnight, and ten minutes afterward the prisoners, stretched wherever they could find space for their limbs were sleeping profoundly, covered with rugs, and ia all sorts of pastures, on the canteen floor. The guard, rifle In hand, still held his solitary vigil at the door.
 The following morning the hearts of the prisoners were rejoiced by the boom of an English gun The guard de- parted, and with some others l seized the opportunity of running toward the English horse. l accompanied them throughout the greater part of the day, and with them witnessed the battle of Elandslaagte. gte.-London Standard
