LOSSES.
The brick building. occupied by
Mr.. Young, and the wooden
building, occupied by Mrs. Crank,
was owned by Mrs. German He
estimates the loss on the frame
at 5000, with insurance to the
amount of $3.50, and on the brick
and Yareroom in the rear, 5000,
fully insured.
Mr.. Downing owned the build
ing occupied by himself and Mr..
Hartung. He estimates his total
loss at So, 800, on which he carried
S., $50 insurance.
Mrs. Crank, on stock and fix
lures, estimates her loss at 50. 300,
with only $1,375 insurance. She
had in her store over $500 worth
of Easter millinery ready for de-
livery today and tomorrow. The
remnant of her stock has been
moved to the Pennington & Will

G. p. Vandenberg roughly es
Inmates his loss at $500, though
further investigation will probably
alter this figure. His loss is fully
covered by insurance.

UNCONFIRMED REPORT.
RumOr Current in south Africa ths
JOubert Is Dead.

RumOr Current in south Africa that
JOubert Is Dead.
DURHAM, Nov. 1.-THE Times, of Natal,
publishes a telegram from Lourenzo
Marquee, saying that General Joubert was
killed in action on Thursday. Nov. 8.
LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch received
here to-day from Pietermaritzburg, dated
Nov. IL, says it is rumored there that Gen.
Piet JOubert, commander-in-chief of the
Boer forces, has been killed in action. 9th
er dispatches from South Africa give cur
rency to the same rumor, but ii obviously
lacks confirmation. At the same time many
people believe the report to be we'll founded,
as the generals death is said to have oc-
Cured Nov. 8, when the Boer riflemen were
understood to be within 100 yards Of
Ladysmith. AS severe fighting between the
British and the Beers the same day has
since been reported, 1t is regarded in some
quarters as quite possible that General
Joubert, always noted for his personal cour-
age and GOODNESS, may have dangerously
exposed himself in personal reconnaissance
of the British position. If Joubert were
really killed on the battlefield, it would
seem to be the fittest death for such a gall
liant soldier. Even his foes admit that he
fought squarely and fairly. and his action
when General Symons died. in cabling his
sympathy to the bereaved widow, estab-
lished him to the high regfrd Of all SOL
diers. 1t is claimed that the death of Jou-
bert would be likely to lead to the adoption
by the Beers of holder and more active tao
tics, as 1t is well known General Joubert
was cautious and conservative command
err and that he had considerable difficulty
in restraining his hotheaded followers.

BEMOANED THEIR FATE.
Fusiliers Would Rather Have Been
Shot than he Prisoners.

LONDON, Nov 16-The Timess Durham
correspondent. under date Of Nov. IL, says:
Chaplain Matthews arrived here to-day.
He testifies to the splendid defense of the
Royal Fusiiers and the Gloucester regi-
ment against an overwhelming force OF
Beers who held positions on three sides
of the British troops. Retirement on one
side was impossible and surrender was the
only alternative to humiliation, as the
Beers were on the point Of opening a shell
fire on them. 1t was pathetic to hear the
Fusilers bemoaning their misfortune, sew
eral with fearful eyes saying: Father, 1
would rather have been shot than this
The commandant general ordered Father
Matthew's release on condition that he as
sisted the Boer wounded, but later coun-
fernandez the order and the chaplain was
taken with the other prisoners In wagons
twenty miles 10 Waschbank. where he. with
the rest captured, was placed on train
for Pretoria. The Beers have few tents
and are thought to be suffering severe
privations. While in Pretoria Father Mat
thews understood that President Kruger
was about to visit Natal TO encourage the
burghers there. Many empty trucks have
been sent to Natal, but the Beers declare
that they are TO bring the Ladysmith gar
rison to Pretoria"

Manufacturers Want to Know N an
Antitrust Affidavit Act Is Valid.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association to-day directed its
counsel to take steps to test the constitu-
tionality of the Illinois antitrust affidavit
statute. This action is taken, the officers Of
the association assert, not because the
members Of the association are in any way
connected with trusts. but because the affi-
davit contained in the statute is so broad
that to comply with IL is to make false
oath. Many manufacturers who are doing
business corporations have made the
affidavit by disregarding the language and
made the oath with the understanding they
were carrying out the purpose of the law.
Others assert that while they are not in
trust of any kind they will not make an
affidavit which requires explanation. The
officers of the association feel that Ii will
be better for all parties concerned IL the
torney General Aiken has already begun, in
this county, several hundred suits against
alleged offenders and intimates there are
several thousand more yet 10 be begun.
The penalty, under the statute, for not
making the affidavit Is $50 day. Many Of
the corporations have refused to comply
with the law and against Them II they are
day for over six years have been running
The amount of damages for which the at
torney general has said he will sue runs up
into many millions of dollars. AS the prin-
cipal manufacturers of the State belong to
the association the fight promises to be a
the case in charge for the association, ad-
r2itted that the ASSOCIATION had determined
TO make test case both in the state and
federal courts.

Refused to Give Up Wounded.

ESTCOURT, Natal, Nov. 10. $50 p. M
AT o'clock this evening the Red Cross
train returned. Dr. Bristoe reported that on
meeting the Boer patrol he was halted and
asked what he wanted. He replied that he
had come with the train to remove the
killed and wounded. The Beers told him to
make his request In writing. and DR.. Bris-
toe complied. After waiting for two hours
another Boer came and informed DIR. Bris-
toe that, as General Joubert was very far
away, no answer to the request could be
furnished until tomorrow morning. The
Boer said that if Ir. Bristoe would then re-
turn with a white flag he could count on
a reply from General Joubert. DR.. Bristoe
inquired whether there were many wounded.
The Boer replied that he had heard there
were about seven. He declined to give any
information regarding Lieut.. Winston
Churchill. 1t has rained all day and is still
raining.

Kamr. Flowing Boer Farms.

CAPE TOWN. Nov. 10 Midnight-A dis
patch from Pretoria, dated Nov. 9. says the
natives are quiet. They have been called
on to plow the farms Of the absent burgh-
ers and are responding willingly. A procla-
nation has been issued by the government
dealing with the appointment of officials

LETTERS FROM LADYSMITH-
A dispatch from Esteourt. dated Nov. 10.
says: IAN armored train has returned from
another trip on which Coenso was reached.
No Beers were seen. On its way back the
train picked up a native runner at Frere,
carrying number OF letters who had been
searched by the Beers, but had in some
manner kept his documents from falling
into the hands of the searchers. This run
stated that Ladysmith was bombarded
on Thursday. Nov. 8, by six forty FOUNDERS,
The British naval guns were still silent
when he left. Little damage was done by
the Boer bombardment and there were few
casualties. The runner further said the
Beers intend TO visit Colenso tomorrow.
Another reconnaissance was made by
train to-day with a company of the border
regiment, but nothing noteworthy occurred
. 1t is reported on good authority that a
large party of Beers travelled from Colenso
to Chievely and then branched to the west
in the direction of Lubashane's farm. An
other party Of Beers is reported to have
visited Bley's farm, south of the Tugela,
wrecking the household. All the troops at
tended divine service this forenoon. Guns
were heard in the direction of Ladysmith

WILL INVESTIGATE.
Attorneys to Find Out the status of a
Maryland Estate.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Nov. 16.-Attorneys
Marchand and Hildreth, of Monticello. Mo-.
have undertaken, at their own expense, to
find out what there is in the claim Of the
John Valentine House heirs to 10000 acres
of land located in Frederick and Washing
ton counties, Maryland. They have been
here attending the meeting of heirs, and will
go to Maryland Monday. John Valentine
House was the son of Andrew House, who
is said to have owned 10000 acres of land.
A copy of his will was read at the meeting
here yesterday, and by its terms one-third
of the estate went to his wife and 5000
acres to each of his five children. John
Valentine House was one of these children
There are two important points TO be estab-
lished. One is that Andrew House really
owned the land and that the stories are not
mere traditions; the other is whether or
not John House leased his share. Unless
lease can be produced the statute of limita-
ton will shut out the heirs.
