Emphatic DENIAL
OF the Statements of Mr.. Thorne
and the Woodmen, by Mr.. Mum

dy.
J. J. Mundy emphstically denies the
assertion in yesterdays IS paper that the
hole dug near Evergreen cemetery last
Sunday was dug ''that the widow of the
deceased and others who had friends
buried there might see that their loved
ones we're buried in water" It was his
desire merely to show the facts to those
interested in conditions there.
He also denies that the hole was du G
directly between the railway and the
entrance to the cemetery, but 1t was
some little distance below. No box or
anything else was put into the hole. He
positively denies that any water was
poured into the hole, as it was not me-
cessary to pour it in for it flowed in
freely.
Mr.. Mundy does not claim that with
the rive- as low as it is now (dry) that
the water is in the graves, but it is
very close under those that have been
put in at proper depth, and it is COM
mon thing during the spring rise, for
the water to come up to within three
and one half to four feet of the surface
-submerging the bodies entirely.
Anyone who says that the water in
the hole was twelve feet or even nine
feet from the surface is either blinded
by prejudice, says Mr.. Mundy, or cares
very little for the truth.

BOOM BASE BALL
And Lay Foundation For Crack
Team Next Season.

Since the organization of the new
city base ball league there has been
two interesting exhibitions each Sun
day at Athletic park, the players
exerting themselves to please the pub
lie. The different teams are being
strengthened as fast as available ma
terial can be secured. Four games have
SO far been played which resulted in
the following scores, 2-I, IL, 60 and IT.,
a demonstration of the fact that good
ball was played.
The people of Ell Paso are asked to
support the efforts of the boys to Sc
cure good sport and to lay the fOunda-
tion of first class bali nine to repre-
sent the city next year. There is an

but if only handful of enthusiasts at

encouraged in their efforts to place the
city league on a substantial paying ba-
sis.
Next Sunday at 2:30 there will again
be two games, which will be far ahead
of those heretofore played. Ell Paso

The Beers Straining Every
Nerve To Capture
Ladysmith.
GLOOMY FORBB0DINGS
One Hundred British Soldiers
Missing as a Result of
The Disaster to The
Armoured Train

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE war office
has been informed that the lombard
ment of Lsdysmith by the Beers was
renewed yesterday with redoubled
fury. The news excites alarm here.
as it is believed the Beers are strain
ing every nerve to take Ladysmith be-
fore the arrival of reinforcements from
the south.
A dispatch from Johannesburg, via
Lorenzo, says there is official confrms-
tion of the report that three thousand
Beers are advancing on Estscourt.
This, coupled with q dispatch to the
Times saying that the Estacourt gar
rison might fall back to Mooi river. 25
miles southwark, is regarded as omi-
nous and adds to the gloom caused by
the disaster to the armoured train
north of Estacourt.
If Estacourt is taken by the Beers
another barrier will be thrown up for
Gen. Buffers relief force to overcome
before it can reach Tugela river where
q supreme trial of strength should take
place. If Gen. Butler is not ready for
an advance in short order it appears
that the Beers will score on him hesvi-
1y in tactics south of Ladysmith.
THE DISASTER TO THE ARMORED
TRAIN.
The disaster to the armored train at
Freer's station, constituting the third
notable reverse to the British arms in
Natal, has hit Englishmen in a sore
place. Public feeling is divided be-
tween admiration for the bravery dis
played by the British troopers and i'm
patience at the foolish boldness which
brought about the defeat.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-Gen. Butler
cables the war Office that one hundred
British soldiers are missing as a result
of the disaster to the armored train.

ROLLINGER HANGED
The Same SCaffold Used Upon Which

Becker Paid the Penalty of His
Life.
CHICAGO. Nov. I7.-Upon the same
scaffold which was used when August
Becker paid the penalty of his life last
week Michael Emil Rollinger was to-
day hanged for the murder Of his wife,
Teresa, December Is, 1898.
Rollinger's crime and it's motive
were in many respects similar to those
of the Luetgert and Becker cases,
though instead Of numbering his vic
tim and boiling the remains Rollinger
adopted the method of burning her to
death.
The discovery of Rollinger's crime
was made oy fremen who were called
to extinguish fire in his dwelling.
They found'the partly burned body OF
Mrs. RoIlinger under pile of barrel
slaves and butter boxes in closet, in
which the fire had evidently original
ed.
Rollinger was suspected of killing
his wife and setting the fire to conceal
the crime. He was supposed to be in
love with young woman, Lena Heck
er. It was also learned that he was In
financial straits and that his wife's
life was insured.
On the day of the fire he had taken
his children to a neighbor, and left
them for the night. He had also taken
his wife's insurance papers, deeds and
to property In Austria,
which she had recently inherited. and
her jewelry and intrusted them to the
of saloon-keeper
friend.
Like Luetgert and Becker, Rollinger
was convicted purely on circumstantial
evidence.

forcible possession of the same, in de-
of the Venezuelan government. Presi-
dent Cleveland, through Mr.. Gresham,
his secretary of state, protested against
the proposed robbery, and suggested
that the points at issue between the two
countries be submitted to arbitration.
Great Britain returned an impertinent
reply, stating that all territory within
the so-called Schomburg line was abso-
lutely hers and that she had nothing
to arbitrate" there. Claims west of that
line she was willing to submit to an In
ternational tribunal for adjudication.
Venezuela, on the other hand, insisted
that the Esequibo river was the recog-
nized boundary and that the Pumeron
river was, at all events, the extreme
limit of disputed territory. Secretary
Gresham's sudden death delayed the
American answer to the British note
declining arbitration, but when Secre-
tary Olney assumed the state portfolio
one of his first acts was the transmits
sion of this now historic document
which, together with Lord Salisbury's
answer, constituted the basis of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message of December
IL, 1895.
In it the president declared the
claims urged by Great Britain to be
direct violation of the Monroe doctrine,
which he designated as an unwritten
page of the American constitution. He
disavowed all intention of wishing to
interfere with British rights in her
South American colonies, but at the
same time protested against the extern
sion of England's political system. In
order to avoid clash he asked congress
to appoint commission to investigate
and determine the true boundary line
between British Guiana and Venezuela,
and then went on to say that when that
commission had made it's report the
United States should "resist by every
means in its power, as willful agrees
sion upon its rights and interests, the
appropriation of any lands or the exer-
else of governmental jurisdiction over
