The Situation i'm South Africa.

London, Dec. "a dispatch re-
ceived from General Walker this morn
ing announcing that the Beers who had
gotten in General Methuen's rear bad
been driven of brings general relief,
dissipating the scare which was caused
last evening by the news that Boer
force had destroyed the railway culvelt
at Gras Pan. Much satisfaction is felt
in the fact that Methuen did not have
to look to troops at De Aar or Orange
river for help. Nothing further has been
received of the reported resumption Of
fighting at Modder river and the firing
heard north of Orange river was evil
IDENTIFY Metbuen's artillery driving of
the Beers at Gras Pan. General Me-
thuen is apparently still at Modder
river strengthening his column for the
attack on Spytfontein.
London, Dec 9.-General Darlington
arrived az Modder river Tuesday to
take command of Methueus cavalry
Dispatches indicate that Metheun now
has II, 600 men. 1t is possible that the
additional troops are Babington's cav
airy brigade, which Methuen needs
most.
Frere Camp, Doc. S.-General Butler
has sent an order for 1900 stretcher
bearers. This is supposed 10 foreshadow
the British advance to relieve Lady
smith.
London, Dec. ga dispatch from
Ladysmith dated yesterday says that
the British made a sortie and stormeG
and carried hill from which the Beers
were Smelling the town, putting out OF
action two big guns and capturing o
small Maxim gun.
Londop, Dec. ga dispatch receiy-
ed from CApeiown says that the Boers
had made their appearance at the
Orange river at point 40 miles south
vest of General Msthuep's force. The
evening newspapers announce another
break in Methuen's line of commuDicE-
ton but belated kilograms show that
the break mentioned in the Capetown
dispatch is Identical with the one
they speak Of.
Capelown, Dsc. ga message from
Modder river says that shots have been
exchanged between British and Boer
outposts south of the river On the right.
The Boer fire indicates that they are
only four or five miles away in the d.
rection OF Jacobsdal. The position OF
Boer force on the right would show
an intention of hnrrassing Methuen in
bis advance against CroDie and the
main force to the north.

A TERRIBLE CR1ME.-A dispatch
from Omaha, Neb., says The wife OF

A TERRIBLE CRIME.-A dispatch
from Omaha, Neb., says The wife of
Frederick Laue has made a confession
which clears up the Odessa, (Neb., }
murder mystery. She made the con-
fession to brother and uncle of her
husband, and later to the county at
torney. 1t is to the effect that Dins-
more first poisoned his wife in the
rooms of the couple upstairs. E[e then
came down and informed her what he
had done, and that he was going to
finish the job. He went into an ad-
joining room, where Laue was sleeping,
and shot him, killing him instantly.
Mrs. Dinsmore was poisoned, prussic
acid being used, it is supposed.
After shooting Laue, Dinsmore brought
the body of his dead wife down into the
kitchen and left it where it was found
by the neiqhbors when they were called
in. The motive for the crime is infatua-
ton for Mrs. Laue. She states that
Dinsmore had repeatedly urged her to
elope with hiln, but she had refused.
Dinsmore had intended to commit the
crime on Thanksgiving night, but Mrs.
Laue says she persuaded him not to do
it. She afirms that Dinsmore was gift.
ed with hypnotic power, and that, I'M.
der its influence, she did as he directed.
The brothers of Mrs. Dnsmore also say
that he exercised the same influence
over his wife, whom he killed after tir-
ing of her.

Injuries.
HE WAS BURNED TO DEATH
BY a Pot of Molten Copper Falling
Upon Hin at the C%onverters
Yesterday Afternoon

Thomas Morris Murray who was horrl-
bly, burned at the converters yesterday
afternoon, as mentioned in yesterdays
Inter Mountain, died early this morning.
Murray was working around the fur
naces. A ladel of molten copper was
raised with the electric derrick and when
in mid air, or some twelve feet above
Murray it tipped, splitting a portion of
the contents on his head and back. AS
soon as the red hot copper struck him it
burned a hole deep into his head and the
copper which struck his back, stuck at
his pants waist and burned almost into
the entrails. His fellow workmen rushed
to his assistance and tore his clothing
away. He was still conscious and knew
what vas going on for a few moments,
when he sank exhausted and never rail-
lied. He was removed at once to the hos
pital where his relatives congregated, but
he was past all aid.
His brothers P. w, Murray and T. ].
Murray and sister Mrs. Anna Reynolds
reside in this city. Another sister, Mrs.
Sparks, lives at Black Hills, S. D.. His
parents reside at Bismarck. N. D. The
unfortunate man was SO years of age. His

SHE TOLD HIM.

His arm, that had been resting or the
back of the little settle on which they sat
in the cleaning, slipped down and en-
circled her slender waist.
Clara he whispered, 1--WE shall be
very happy, shan't we?'
A soft sigh was her only audible re-
spouse, but she nestled closer to him, and
he appeared to be satisfied.
The mellow haze of the golden October
day still hung over the darkening land
scape. The voice of the tree-toad some
where in the neighborhood lifted itself
up and called irsistently for rain. A
faint odor OF fried ham from some
kitchen to the windward of them per-
vaded the air.
A thought seemed to strike the young
man.
Clara he said, eve ought to have the
clearest understanding about everything
that affects our future. ought we not?"
YES" she
"Clara,' he said again, after a long
pause. "can you cook %
There was another long pause.
Then she Strengthened herself up, looked
him squarely in the eye, and proudly an
swered:
'Reainald, I can cook potatoes in fif-
teen different ways"
Then she put her head down where it
was before, and into her pink, shell-like
ear he warbled incoherent ~outpourings of
JOY.
