sTRIKEON CENTRAL VERMONT. Men Claim They Did Not Receive Prom
 ised Extra Pay.

Willimantic, Conn, Oct. 12-Trouble among the trainmen on the freight trains on the New London division of the Central Vermont railroad, which it is alleged has been brewing for some time eliminated this afternoon in the crew of the down freight which reach es here at p. m. refusing to take the train further The train, however, pro- ceeded to New London after a delay of over eight hours in charge of con- ductor and one brakeman. The crews have been complaining for some time that their hours were too long and the pay too small. They claim, however, that in order to adjust matters they were promised extra pay for overtime, but when the crew received their pay here this afternoon no overtime allow ance was included and the men refus- ed to work longer. Communication was had with New London when the men struck and the train arriving from New London at 9:35 brought an extNl crew, but when the men learned the situation only one brakeman and the conductor would work. It is intimated that to-day's action is but forerunner of other strikes if the company refuses extra pay for overtime work.

SUPPLEMENT- BY MR. rnR.tsHER.
The Law and Order League and sh'
 Danbury Fair.

Secretary Thrasher of the Law and Order league last night gave out the following official letter to the constitu- ents of the league:
 Tn view of incorrect reports of events connected with the Danbury fair which
 have been pushed about, I desire to
 make an accurate though brief state
 ment of the main facts. The league ap-
 peared at the fair in response to appeals
 of reputable citizens of Danbury. IL
 found fourteen illegal liquor shops,
 some gambling games in operation and
 many others watching their chance.
 Universally the proprietors asserted
 that they had been guaranteed protec-
 tion. So far as the agricultural society
 is concerned I do not believe this. The
 evidence does, however, duplicate an-
 other official authority. For the reason and because liquor selling and gambling
 had been previously allowed at the fair l judged it equitable not to apprehend the offenders without mercy, but to stop their nefarious practices and leave them
 to profit by the warning another year.
 The liquor places are closed and fif- teen or more gambling schemes turned away
 The Danbury police department rem dered no voluntary assistance in the work, but manifested positive hostility to it. Captain Ginty arrested one of our agents for an alleged fault of call ing him a vulgar name, yet he himself, by his own admission, kicked the agent and in my hearing covered the latter with profane and indecent epithets. I will not permit the case to rest where it is Another and special officer at nightfal dogged my heels, repeatedly calling out my name and pointing me out to disgruntled outlaws in an offen- sive manner. I remonstrated and he proclaimed his authority to arrest me, at the same time half displaying a badge. The badge was worn on his suspender and l pushed aside the vest to get view of the same-an action which he himself invited by word and posture. This was the full extent of the assault I am charged with commit ting. l went to the police office and re- lated the circumstances. In consequence the officer was arrested, and since he concocted a charge of assault against me, my arrest followed. The prosecut- ing attorney stated that there was no case against me, and the judge, ex- pressing the opinion that this was equivalent to vindication. granted the motion to nolle. Nevertheless, I was that I did not have the op portunity that trial would have af- forded of showing how absolutely un- called for and malicious was the charge against me. The clergymen and ster- ling citizens who solicited our assist ance, as welLa as many others cognizant of the facts as they occurred, have ex- pressed their emphatic approval of our course at the fair. The league can trust it's friends to remain superior to the eddies of irresponsible gossip that occasionally appear in certain newspa- Dp1S |"

steyn Issues n Proclamation.

Cape Town, Oct 12.-President Styn of the Orange Free State has issued a proclamation to the Free State burgh- CTS in which he says: "Our sister re- public is about to be attacked by an interruptions enemy who has long look ed for a pretext to annihilate the Af- rikanders. Our people are bound to the Transvaal by ties as well as by formal treaty." President Steyn de- clares solemnly and in the presence of the Almighty that he is compelled to resist the powerful enemy owing to the injustice done his kith and kin. Sol- emn obligations, he declares, have not protected the Transvaal against the an- nexation conspiracy and when its inde- pendence ceases, the Free States ex- istence as an independent state is meaningless.

TITO BROTHERS IN 4 FIGHT.
One Was Badly Cut fin the Scrimmage
 Arrests tade.


 The police of the Dixwell avenue sta- tion have been this week, Investigating concerning a fight which occurred about 2 o'clock last Sunday morning at No. 13S Butler street. It seems that crowd of half dozen men, two of whom were brothers, had been around the saloons of that section of the city and after the saloons closed they went to Harry Poulton's house at 13S Butler street. In the crowd was Poulton's brother Fred. At the house the two brothers became involved in a quarrel and during the course of it Harry was badly cut, receiving four cuts On the head and bad cut on the upper lip, so that the teeth showed through. One of the cuts on the head severed an artery. Poulton was attended by Dr. Young. Last night Patroiman Taylor arrested the two Poultons, William Woodcock and Urban Robertson, all of whom are believed to have been impli- cated in the fight They are charged with breach of the peace. The two Poulton's were released under bonds af $50 each furnished by George Shea. a saloon keeper. Woodcock was also re- leased under bonds of the same amount furnished by Edward l.. Vieel a saloon keeper. More arrests in connection with the case are expected to follow.

DEWEY'S CUP OF HAPPINESS
OVERELOWED 1T HIS OLD HOME IN
 VERMONT YESTERDAY.
Doubt ful if Any of the IHomors Paid Him Since His return Was So Much Felt as Those nt MOntpeher-fresent cd Magnificent Jeweb Gift From the State.

1 Montpelier, Vt, Oct 12.---The cup Of ! happiness for Admiral Dewey was sure- 1 ly overflowed to-day when he was the recipient of honorS bestowed upon nm liby the people of Vermont. Although he has been paid the highest hohorS Wlthln
 the gift of the nation, it is doubtful 1t any display was felt so deep down III his heart as that which occurred to-
 day. As the guest of the city and state he was greeted by the largest crowd ever assembled here and rode at the head of the largest procession ever seen in Vermont, was presented magnih- cent jewel and in many ways received more attention than any other man this state has sent forth.
 After a review of the parade in the afternoon the admiral and GoVerhor Smith gave a brief reception to the newspaper men of the state. when introduced the admiral said with much emotion: T am glad to meet you; this has been a great day for yer mont; a great day. You know l was born here; right over in that little house You all know how I feel. It was all a dream" His place of review under the state house portal was in sight of the cottage in which he was born.
 Just before the review and as the admiral was passing through the state house corridor to his position in his stand, there was pinned upon his breast the jewel which was Vermonts gift to her son. It is of beautiful design, the top bar supporting a rising sun, which holds in each tip two diamonds, mak- ing four stars, the emblem of the ad- mirals rank. Below, held by ribbon, is a shield on which is the likeness of the admiral, surrounded by eighteen diamonds In relief, on the shield, is an anchor with representation of the flagship Olympia on the stock. Below is a wreath with Vermont's coat of arms. The bottom bar bears in raised letters the words: Welcome Home" The jewel was to have been presented in formal exercises after the review but the programme was unexpectedly shortened, so that the admiral after be- ing given a general introduction to the state reception committee passed into the state house and few minutes later he left in his carriage to return to his car.
 This evening Admiral Dewey wit messed fine display of fireworks near his old home, but about 10 o'clock he re- turned to his sleeper and retired At midnight his car was attached to a special train and taken to Northffeld.

attack and that all the streets are bar red to wagons. The Boers, it is said intend to shell the town before deliver ing their attack.
 They are said to possess twelve guns. Every man in Mafeking is carrying a rifle and the military authorities are confident that they will be able to repel attack, but they lack the force neces- sary to follow Boer retreat. The con- vent sisters and many women have elected to stay and nurse the wounded, and many houses have been converted into hospitals. Three Boer spies have been arrested in the town. Railroad communication in the south is practi- cally the the mercy of the Boers, over two hundred miles of the line being within easy striking distance of the commanders. Sad scenes occurred at the railway station upon the departure of the women and children by train.

EARLYANGLO-BOER NEVIS.
BOers Pouring Into Natal-Their Possi.
 blc Plan of Campaign.

London, Oct 12-A dispatch from Ladysmith, Natal, says that the Boers occupied Laing's Nek the moment the ultimatum expired, and are now pour ing into Natal. Ingogo Heights have been occupied.
 Official confirmation of the announce ment that the Orange Free State burg hers have entered Natal by way of Van Reenen's Pass is at hand. The news of an invasion on the northern border is also generally accepted as reliable. It seems improbable, therefore, that a clash between the forces of Briton and Boer can long be delayed, if, indeed, it has not taken place already.
 Dispatches from Durban, Natal, con- firm the report that the Orange Free State authorities seized the Natal train that was leaving Ladysmith yesterday morning for Harrismith. They also stopped train due to leave Harrismith in the afternoon. All the rolling stock has been ordered down the country, out of reach of seizure. It is understood that telegraphic communication with the Transvaal ceased punctually at five o'clock yesterday afternoon (Transvaal time).
 Apart from the advance of the Volks- rust and Van Reenen commanders re- ports have arrived of the concentration of the Utrecht and Vryheid comman- does along the Buffalo river, east of Dundee.
 The Free State burghers, according to a private message received in the city of London, have crossed the Orange riv- CT into Cape Colony and have occupied Philipstown. Their object, it is suppos- ed is to cut the railway at De Aar Junction, which is considered an impor- tant strategic point.
 It now seems that the Boers intend to act in two columns those from the Transvaal working from the north and those from the Orange Free State work ing from the west, with the object of keeping the British forces at Ladysmith and Dundee occupied while parties of Boers slip past to destroy the bridges along the railway forming the line of communication between the British at Durban, Natal, the advanced base at and the front.
 However, it is still suspected that the entire Boer concentration on the iron tiers of Natal may be merely an elab- crate feint to draw off attention from which many experts regard Is the real objective point of the Boers A successful dash there would give the

GREAT GREETING TO cozUmBrA.
Given After Yesterdays Race Was De-
 Clared or

New York, Oct. 12-Not since the victorious yacht Defender was lowed home from Sandy Hook lightship after the final race against Valkyrie III. has there been such a popular demonstra- tion as was rendered the Columbia to- day on her way from the lightship to the entrance to the swash channel af- ter the race was declared off. Every boat saluted and cheered the cup de- fender as they passed and thus MT. Ise lin's hope of encouragement is speedily filled.
 When seen later on the St. Michaels by an Associated Press representative. MT. Iseln said: q am really sorry that everybody is being disappointed this way. As you can see it is not our fault, the yachts were ready but the elements are against us. I can only wish, as before, that we may have a good breeze tomorrow and a race at last''
 Sir Thomas maintained his customary unruff1ed demeanor and gave no vent to any feeling of disgust at the failure of race Two greater sailors than had their troubles to-day" he said smilingly, "our English admiral, Lord Beresford, and your fighting Captain Evans have both been in collisions and have thus had little excitement, even if they have not seen yacht race"
 The two accidents referred to above were not of serious nature.
 The repeated f1ukes off Sandy Hook have led to some agitation for change L. rl, is usually a breeze, or to Mar blehead, off the Massachusetts coast, where no difficulty would be experienced in get ting plenty of wind. But it is hardly likely that any change will be made. The regatta committee argue that this sort of weather cannot last at this time of year. The yachts will attempt to race to-day.

May Be Settled Without n Strike.

St. Albans, Vt, Oct. 12.-The railroad troubles on the Central Vermont, which are pending, are likely to be settled without a strike of the operators. The ultimatum of the men, which was pre- sented some time ago, was accompanied by a promise that nothing would be done to tie up the road and so spoil the plans for the Dewey celebration. The ultimatum was to be pressed inn mediately after tratfiffic resumed its normal condition, but 1t is understood that the railroad management has ar- ranged a new schedule for the men which will prevent a strike
