FIGHTING IN THE TRANsvAAL

FIGHTING IN THE TRANSVAAL.
Sharp f. citing has resulted from the
Boer movements in the vicinity of Kim
berley, Glencoe and other points. The
British troops at Glencoe camp en-
couutered and repulsed strong Boer
patrol eight miles from the camp. Ac-
cording to the censured dispatches the
British suffered DO casualties.
The Beers have blown up the bridges
at Fourteen Streams and the Modder
river, the former moth and the latter
south of Kimberley.
The combined advance of the Boer
forces on the positions held by General
Sir George S ewart White has caused
several skirmishes at the outposts,
which possibly has developed into a
pitched battle.
The Beers have not been driven back.
Perhaps, however, their movements
are only part of a general plan to iso-
late both Ladysmith and Glencoe from
the south.
An official note, issued at Durham re.
gardiDg the Beers advance says:
San Orange Free State force with a
few guns, moved about ten miles down
Tintwas Pass, opening with artillery on
small British cavalry patrols. The
range was very distant, and the shoot
ing Indifferent. The object may have
been either a feint to draw our troops
from the real point of attack on pre-
lude to Boer concentration against
Ladysmith.
Complaints OF Boer outrages upon the
natives continue to arrive. These serve
further to influence the Basutos and
Zulns.
The Capetown correspondent of the
London Daily Mail, telegraphing at 10
o'clock Thursday night, says: "Vry-
burg surrendered Sunday. Tonight's
dispatches from Kuruman, ninety miles
west by south of Vryburg, state that
the police have Withdrawn from Vry-
burg, the town surrendered to the
Beers, the inhabitants fleeing in all di-
rections, mostly towards Kuruman
When the police withdrew the Cape
Beers notified the fact to the enemy,
thus inviting them to take possession.
There was fearful panic. The British
are wildly indignant at this scuttling."
Important news relating to the Boer
war comes from Mafeking by round.
about channels. According to reports,
Colonel Baden-Powell, British COM
mander at Mafeking, made feint out
side the town and pretended to re.
treat. He thus, the reports say, drew
the Beers over the lyddite mines,
which were exploded, killing 1900 OF
them.
A Capetown dispatch says the Beers
are hoasting that they will hold fancy
dress balls aud masquerades in British
uniforms in Capetown and Durham by
the end of October.
Frequent fighting in the neighbor.
hood of Kimberley, Cape Colony, con-
tinues to be reported. According to
stories from English sources, the Beers
have been using white flags as decoys.

MONUMENT TO CONFEDERATE
DEAD.

The monument erected in memory
OF the Confederate soldiers buried at
Woodstock was unveiled yesterday.
Several thousand people came from all
directions. The stores and many re-
sidences were gayly decorated with
bunting, Confederate and American
flags. After the arrival, at eleven
O'Clock, of the camps from Strasburg
and Winchester, the procession began
forming at different parts of the town,
preparatory to marching to the
Massanutten cemetery. The ex.
ercises at the monument were
music by Calvary Band, prayer
and hymns, after which Miss
Adolyn Gale Miley pulled the cord
which concealed the handsome monu.
meut. Immediately the Stonewsll
Band struck up Dixie" amid the
cheering OF Thousands of voices. Sena-
tor John w. Daniel was then introduc
ed. He spoke of the day as one not
of tears and sorrows, but a day of
tribute and of rejoicing in the hearts Of
all present. "The veteran carries his
his head high and looks straight.
Why2 Because he feels in his own
heart that he had done right; that to
no one is due any apology. He feels
that the action prompted from true
and loyal heart for any cause is just
to his fellowmen, to his God, and that
be needs have no fear to meet anyone
for what he has done IN this world or
the one to come. They fought for the
Confederate States of America 1t was
four years of brilliant history. Those
that now sleep are content that they
have acted according to the dictates of
a loyal heart" The monument is of
white Italian marble upon base of
white American marble, handsomely
and appropriately carved.

not your heart be troubled, ye believe
in God, believe also in Me-" Also the
entire Third chapter of st. Matthew.

Some one has given an illustra-

however, is sooner untuned than a
lutte, aud nothing more tickle than
a human friend, The tone of one
changes with the weather, that OF
the other with fortune. With a
