BoERs DESTROY RAILROAD.
Efforts to Prevent Reinforcements
From Reaching Ladysmith.

Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 10. Monday
Noon.-The West Yorkshire regiment
has arrived here. The bombardment of
Ladysmith has been resumed. Heavy
firing was heard early this morning. An
armored train was sent out on recon-
naisSance towards Colenso. The ar
mored train. on its return, reported that
the Beers had blown up the line be-
tween Colenso and Chiveley. Not much
damage was done. but the rails were
bent and small culvert DESTROYED. On
seeing the British patrols the Beers re-
tired.
Every day lessons the chance of the
Beers coming farther south Kaffirs
report that a force of 400 to 500 Beers.
with wagons. is going in the direction
of Colenso. This is said to be the for
aging party previously sighted. The
Kaffirs also report that General Whites
cavalry has had an engagement with
the Beers at Bester's Station The re-
suit is not known.
A message from Ladysmith, just re-
ceived, gives few details of the &C.
currences of Wednesday. when the
Beers shell fire was continued during
the day. 1t is asserted that they at
tempted to deliberately aim at the con-
vent hill in the center of the town,
where there were only the sisters and
wounded. The building was nit twice
in spite of the Geneva flag flying.
: The Beers attempted demonstration
against the western defenses, but It was
never serious. The groups appearing at
long range were easily scattered by the
fire of a machine gun. The total Brit
ish casualties during the brisk bonn
bardment were three men, though some
damage was done to cattle and prop
erty. The fire of the Boer position gun
has been erratic. but probably a trifie
wearing through its continual bonn
bardments.
The Boer positions are 5000 to 1000
and 5000 yards distant. A Kaffir from
the Free State laager reports that Cen
eral Vessels, who commanded when
the British force surrendered at Mich
olsen's Mex. was hit during a recent
reconnaissance. The British garrison
cheered the news.
The Beers have sent in 400 Indian
coolies from the Dundee coal fields,
doubtless with the object of assisting
to finish our food.

NUMEROUS wRANGLEs OCCUR.
Delay the Progress of the Count at
Louisville, Ky.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1.-THE work of
tabulating the elections in Louisville is
progressing so slowly that it is hardly
probable that all of the precincts of the
city will be counted before next Tues
day or Wednesday. Numerous wran-
giles occur daily at the sessions of the
board of election commissioners, which
delay the progress of the count. -
The Democrats have given notice that
they will contest the vote in several
precincts on account of the fact that
the Democratic officers of the precincts.
as well as Democratic voters, had been
intimidated by soldiers.
When the vote of the Twentieth pre-
cinct of the Ninth ward was reached by
the commissioners today, it was found
that there was no complete record of
the vote. Judge Harris, Democratic
counsel, said he would produce affida-
Wits to prove that the Democratic Off
GERS in this precinct were frightened
from the voting places by the report
that Governor Bradley's soldiers were
coming. On this account they had been
unable TO make out the returns. Mr..
Kinkead, for the Republicans, said that
he would produce evidence to show that
the soldiers were never within mile of
the precinct, and that the Democrats
had other reasons for not signing the
returns. The board voted to pass the
precinct until later

GEN. BULLER's CENSORSHIP.
Allows Just Enough News to Some
Through to Confuse Critics.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The tone
in high quarters is confident and cheer
full. Military authorities. since General
Cartoons reverse, have hoped that
General White would remain quiet and
act on strictly defensive lines until the
arrival of the bulk of the army corps,
and they are contented with the situa-
ton and highly gTatified that nothing
has happened except sluggish, ineffec-
tive bornbardment of Ladysmith and
indecisive sl1irTnishes on tho western
border They smile increiulously when
anyone suggests that General Joubert S
forces may attempt to carry Ladysmith
by storm.
Meanwhile the exigencies of sfteIno IN
journalism are met BIZ The publication
of the twice-told tale of Colonel Baden
Powell's brilliant charge at Mafeking,
and the military writers in this morn
ing's papers are puzzling over the adj
miralty reports of the movements Of
the transports fer clews respecting Gen.
eral Buffers plan of campaign and the
strength of the relief column now form
ing at lower Natal.
The censorship is well managed, for
lust enough news comes through TO
confuse every expert and render an in
telligent judgment out of the ques-
lion.
Apparently General Butler has a soul
above red tape, and is disposing his
troops as they arrive without regard
for the original scheme of organization,
but in accordance with the actual mill
tary requirements. If all arrivals have
been reported. over $4,000 troops have
reached South Africa, of which nearly
5000 have been sent to Durham, and
about 1000 to East London, while over
(. 200 have remained at Cape Town. This
distribution of forces serves to indi-
cate that the situation at Ladysmith
cannot be regarded by General Butler
as critical, for otherwise he would not
have detained so large force at Cape
Town.
The dearth of news encouraged spec
ulation respecting lines of British at
tack When an army corps Is fairly on
the ground. One or two military critics
have hazarded the conjecture that
startling diplomatic surprise is in re-
serve, and that strong column will
land at Delagoa bay by arrangement
with Portugal and Germany. and take
advantage of the, shortest possible line
to advance upon Pretoria, distance
of about $50 miles.
This conjecture is generally regarded
as fanciful. Sober minded critics con-
tend that when Ladysmith is relieved,
the Free Staters Will retire to Van Rec
mans Pass, and the Beers to Lain- S
Mex, where each body can hold strong
defensive positions but that the British
army will not be drawn in either di-
rection-

IAYlOR's FRIENDS WORRIED
MAKE QUIET CANVASS OF MEM
BERs OF LEGISLATURE.
Want to Know How They Would
Vote on Contest IF the Matter
Should Be Brought Up

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 16.-Taylors
friends have begun a quiet canvass of
the members of the legislature, sound
ing them as to how they would vote
on contest, If the state election board
should throw out Knox, johnson or Pu-
laski counties and also LOO votes cast
in Nelson for w. P, instead of w. s.
Taylor.
1t is said four Democratic members
of the house and at least six<Democrat-
&c members have been found so far
who will not vote to seat s0oebel.
This movement on Taylor's side is
construed to indicate the opinion that
Goebel will be given a certificate of
election from the state board. The
story that Goebel has decided to aban
don the fight and to enter fight
against Blackburn for senator is pro-
nnunced absurd by friends of both, and
is laughed at by both Goebel and
Blackburn.

Fellows building. a two-story brick,
was completely Quilted by fire here last
night The fire alarm was turned in
about $50 and the local companies
quickly responded, but the fire had
gained such Roadway that it could not
be controlled for some time.
The fire originated in one section of
the building occupied by a millinery
store and spread rapidly until the en-
tire building was d total wreck. The
lower floor was occupied by the Nez
Perez Implement companys and the up
per floor was the home of some half
dozen lodges.

different stocks carried and the insur-
ance on the same: Nez Perez Imple-
ment company stock $4,000. insurance

Sufferings of Passengers.
While waiting for the Kaiser Freider-

sfter o'clock, the passengers were
cared for on board the Isle of Wight
steamer Carisbrooke, provided for Their
accommodation by the Hamburg-Amer-
lean company. They. presented a strange

men were wrapped in blankets. The

Cowden Laughlin, a New Yorker, who
is on his way to Berlin, confirms the
statements of other passengers regard
ing the complete absence of anything
like panic. He says:
1.-The worst feature was the loss of
baggage. I lost all my diplomas, which
were in my trunks. The opinion of all
is that we should have been informed
as soon as the fire was discovered,
which would have enabled US TO save

did not know the extent of the danger"
There is considerable conflict of opin-
Jon as to the date of the outbreak of

recent conflict between the colored SOL
