RETURNS TO IRELAND.
Miss Mcmahon Saw No Man in
America That She Would
Agree to Marry.

Miss Alice Mcmahon, who says that
she will be one hundred and FIVE years
old on her next birthday, in September,
sailed Saturday on the Umbria for Ire
land, where is her old home. She was
accompanied by Miss Julia Mcmahon, a
relative of Gen. Thomas Mcmahon, says
the New York Journal. Many OF the
friends of Miss Mcmahon and Miss Julia
visited the steamer and filled their state
rooms in the second cabin with flowers
and presents, which so delighted the CEN
tenarian that she moved about like a
young girl. When asked by one of her
friends how she managed to keep her
health and live to such an old age she
replied:
at is because have been temperate
in all things. l expect to live many
years longer. What l think has done
more for me than anything else is my
religion. l have tried to be a good
Catholic. This has kept my conscience
clear. have never been unhappy"
"You were never married, auntie?"
"Some Que must have told you that.
1t is the truth, though. Perhaps if had
stayed in Ireland would have been a
wife and dead long ago. but never saw
the man since l left home that | would
give the snap of my finger for. A single
life has been a happy one for me, and
that is more than many married friends
can say about their lives"
"How do you fix your age, auntie9"
81 was born the same day as Canon
Mcmahon, and his birth in the church
record is in 1894. remember playing
with him when a child, and my mother
often said that we ought to be happy to-
gether because we were born at the same
time. He died fifteen years ago at the
age OF ninety"
Miss Mcmahon is portly, yet strong
and hearty. In repose she looks very
old, but when talking her face brightens
up and she looks much younger than she
is. She has been living for several years
at No. 793 Second avenue. and has al
ways been able to go up and down two
flights of stairs to the street and walk
several blocks without aid. She does not
recall ever having doctor to attend her
and never has taken any drugs. When
she has been depressed little good
whisky has always put her right.
On Wednesday night she gave fare
we'll reception to her old friends, and
joined in lively reel.
"You have danced long enough,
Auntie," said Daniel Warren.
"I'll not be the first to sit down." re-
sponded she with saucy toss of her sill
very head.
Miss Mcmahon was born in Laragh,
County Monaghan, and left home seven
ty-fve years ago. She was raised on a
farm. Her first place in this country was
on the estate of Gen. ]. Mcbride. Hamp-
tonburg, N. ", where she had charge OF
the dairy and l40 cows. A few years
later she became the housekeeper at
Livingston Manor. She saved her money,
and in 1866 went into the dressmaking,
business, at which she accumulated a snug
fortune.
She has a brother Patrick in Laragh,
whose youngest son, Patrick, is member
of the Legislature in Montana. She
hopes to end her days in the little village
where she was born.

AS to the Outcome Of the
TranSyaal Matter.
. MASSACRE IS FEARED
There is an UncOnfirmed Report That
Dundee Has Been Captured by the
B0ers--Activity at the ArSenals in
Great Britain.

London, Oct. mo confirmation is OBJ
tainable from any source OF the report
contained in a dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company thar the Beers have
captured Dundee No exceptional actiN-
ity was shown at the government offices
today. Mr.. Chamberlain and the Earl OF
Selborne We're absent from the %colonial
office, but Lord L~ansdowne, General Lord
Wolseley and General Sir Evelyn Wood
We're busily engaged at the war office.
General Sir Redvers Butler called at the
war office this afternoon and a special
board meeting was held. Naturally moth
ing of the discussion was made public,
but it is understood that General Butler
will not proceed for the Cape until next
week, except in case Of unforeseen devel-
opments.
Many members of parliament are re-
turning to town in anticipation of an
early sumn1oning of the house of p~arlia-
ment. 1t is the general impression that
although speakers may express disap-
prevail Of the government policy, few will
go to the extreme of voting against the
required credit. 1t is considered more
probable they will abstain from particle
pating in a division.
Sf William NefnOn HafCOurt, the ND
eral leader, in a speech al TreXegar,
said:
The first and last word of these gold
hunters is war. in order to lead to an
neXatiOn.'
A correspondent wrote to Lord Sails
bury asking if it We're not true that the
government would make every effort to
avert war and had no desire to annex the
Transvaal If a settlement could be OBJ
tanned peacefully. Lord Salisbury re-
piled, answering a~ffirmatively.
The Duke of Argyle, in reply to an in
quiry as to what ne thought of Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt's words, said they
were party claptrap, adding:
Il have no respect for a petty state
which invites rises by means of and de-
ponds upon the labor and brains of stran-
gers and then refuses them their COM
mon rights of humanity and condemns
them to an intolerable life of serfdom."
A letter from an Uitlander received in
Birmingham was published today. If it
reflects the general feeling of the British
residents of Johannesburg they must be
in an awful funk. The writer says: IF
it comes to a fight. believe the Beers
will make a massacre of it. blow johann
nesburg to pieces and shoot us on sight.
In fact, l have been told so by one in
office"
Reports from various arsenals and
garrisonS in Great Britain testify to the
active continuance of military prepare
lions. The reserves have received pre-
liminary notice to be prepared and sew

themselves in readiness for active SER
