AN UNCONFIRMED RUMOR.
London, Dec 20.-A special dispatch
from Durham, Natal. dated Saturday,
December 16, says.it is rumored that
General Butler called for volunteers to
recover the abandoned guns, and that
party issued from the camp after
midnight and brought in the guns,
which were uninjured.
GUNS NOT RECOVERED.
London, Dec 2o.-It still seems doubt
full whether the guns that General Bull
Ter abandoned at Colenzo are in the
possession of the Beers.
According to dispatch to the Assoc
ciated Press from Durham, sent off on
the evening of the battle, and which
has Just been received here, the guns
remained where they were left by the
British troops, and were covered by the
heavy guns of General IIildyard's bril-
gade, occupying an intrenched position.
The dispatch adds that the Beers have
thus far not attempted to cross the
river and carry off the guns, while add
vices to the Associated Press from Pre-
toria, under the same date. say that an
official Boer dispatch reports that two
guns. IL wagons and quantity Of am
munition were captured besides POS
prisoners.

THOUSANDS VISIT PATERSON.

Police on Hand to Protect Graves
From Being Trampled Down.
Paterson, Nov. 27.-There were
thousand of visitors to Paterson yes
terday. The street in front of Carroll
Hail. the Hobart home, was crowded
ali day. The greatest crowd, how
ever, gathered at Cedar Lawn ceme-
terry. There a special detail of police
had to be maintained to prevent the
crowds from trampling upon the graves
and plots about the receiving vault.
1t is not likely that Vice President
Hobart's body will be placed in the
ground. 1t is the intention of the fam
lily to erect a tomb upon the plot of
land where Miss Fannie Hobart lies,
and beside whose body it was gener-
ally supposed the body of Mr.. Hobart
would be placed. The work will prob
ably be commenced before long, so 1t
is doubtful if the body of the vice
president will be removed from its
present resting place in the Cedar
Lawn cemetery vault until the tomb
Of the family is erected.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Slaughter p ouse Destroyed in the South
ern Part of the borough.

ern Part OF the BorouEhs
Shortly after three o'clock this morning an
alarm sounded from the box at the corner Of
Main aud Poplar streets summouing the fire
department to that part of the town south Of
the lime kiln. where number Of slaughter
houses are located. All the companies re-
sponded and they found god blaze await
ing them. The slaughter house and ont
buildings located at the crossing Of the
highway and the r & r. Railway, and
owned by William Palawicz butcher Of
West Centre street. were all on fire. the
flames having spread rapidly from the start
ing point The hrst alarm was given by
Thomas O'Couuell the watchman at the
Cambridge collirry, who blew the colliery
whistle. This attracted the attention Of
residents at the lower end of Main street and
they caused the fire alarm bell to be sounded.
Pulawicz's buildings were destroyed. They
contained a couple Of machines for preparing
sausage, etc, and a boiler. The rendering
house of the adjoining slaughter house OF
Walter Rynkawicz was also destroyed. The
total loss will not exceed eight hundred dol
lars.
The origin Of the fire is not known, but it
is supposed TO have been started by careless
use of matches or pipes by people lounging in
the place. The slaughter house has been
practically abandoned for some time aud
tramps and idlers of town have made it their
rendezvous. Teamsters regret that the fence
of the property was not also destroyed, as il
makes the railway crossing very dangerous
one, shutting from view Of teamsters the
trains running south to the crossing.

made at this time because there are some
that have the Senatorial bee buzzing in their

concede that with a continuation of the

the fire started on Saturday night. 1t is
located in the West Mammoth vein, several
hundred yards from the bottom of the slope,
in the direction of Kohinoor colliery. The
extent of the fire is not known, but it is
causing some apprehension among the
officials.
At about three o'clock this afternoon a
line of hose had nearly reached the place OF
fire and shortly after water was being played
on the flames. 1t was impossible for any Of
the workmen to reach the scene when the
fire was discovered. 1t is stated that several
