In Bucks County, Pa.
TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 6.-Since the
scarcity Of cattle has become apparent the
State Board of Health has discovered that
meat products made of horsefesh are be-
ing sold in violation of the law passed by
the legislature last March.
A factory has been found in Bucks coun-
ty, Pa, across the Delaware River. and
the State board has instructed all the local
health boards to keep a sharp lookout for
persons handling the goods. 1t is no crime
in New Jersey to sell horsemeat made up
as smoked beef sausages or in any form.
because it is not prejudicial to public health
and is used by the foreign colonies OF all
the large cities. but the law was passei
to protect persons from being imposed
upon by dealers, the statute compelling all
meat products from horseflesh to be mark
ed by label and tags. The action was taken
primarily because large factory in Kear-
ny. just outside Of Newark. was quietly
putting large amount Of horsemeat prod
ucts on the market.

TO REOPEN AN OLD QUESTION
General Wheeler VIII Take Hi. Sent
in ConEress.

The letter of General Wheeler to friend
in Alabama, in which he announces his
purpose to come home and resume his seat
in Congress, has ELECTED considerable COM
ment in Washington 1t is said that dur
ing the last session of Congress Speaker
Reed scrupulously avoided recognizing
General Wheeler, although the latter made
frequent attempts to get the floor
Mr.. Reed-and many coincided wi b him
held that General Wheeler and all other
members Of the House who had accented
army commissions thereby vacated their
places as Representatives. The case of
General Wheeler is more marked now than
II was before, and the question is whether
the new Speaker will follow the examp, e
of Mr.. Reed
The probability is said to be that Mr..
Henderson will not undertake to decide
the question himself but will submit it to
the House.

Beginning with the first of the
year the postofice at Concord, Vine
land, Washington, will be known as
Charleston. The new town of Clark
ston is on the opposite side of Snake
river from Lewiston, Idaho. The
twin cities of Lewiston and Clark
ston commemorate the lives of the
great explorers, Lewis and Clark.
The cities are connected by one of
the finest steel wagon bridge in the
Pacific Northwest, the bridge being
1900 feet long, not counting
the approaches, which are 200 feet
in length, The district of which
Concord is, and clarkston is to be
the postoffice, is better known as
Vineland, perhaps to-day one of the
most discussed home places IN the
Northwest Its three years growth
already numbers 1900 people, and
I hundreds of pretty homes. 1t will
soon be incorporated as third class
city under the name of Charleston.

of Delagoa Bay, says: A cycIist dispatch
was received from Ottosheep, near Nal
mani, at o'clock asserting that heavy
lighting had been in progress all day long
north of Mafeking. The British troops
on board an armored train acted as a
covering force for the engineers engaged
IN repairing the track. A Maxim on the
train kept up a continuous fire
Conspicuous bravery was displayed on
both sides, but it soon became apparent
that the rifles of the burghers We're in
effective against an armored train The
latter, however, was once forced to re-
treat before a particularly strong assault,
but it soon returned, accompanied by a
British mounted contingent, and the
fighting was renewed fierceIy
Fighting still continues, the Beers hold
ing their positions well. A dozen Beers
were killed or wounded, but the British
casualties cannot be ascertained
Heavy firing can be heard south of
Mafeking, where General Cronjes com

and wounding seven. The British had no
losses.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE skirmish near
Spytsfontein, says a special dispatch
from Cape Town, was quite lively. The
armored train with a detachment of
Lancashires approached unmolested until
within range and then the Beers opened
fire. The Maxims were strongly set to
work and did good execution among the
burghers The latter also used artillery,
put inenectively. The armored train re-
turned TO Kimberley unharmed
Inc crew of the armored train say the
boers fired thirteen shells, but their aim
was wretched and not a single shot
struck the train, which then made bold
70 approach nearer and opened fire with
the Maxlms, The burghers replied with
heaVy rifles, again shooting wildly Only
three or four bullets struck the train.
subsequently the crew learned that five
Boers and two Boer horses were killed
WnlIe several Beers and horses were
wounded. Not a member of the British
rorce was so much as touched.
