STRANGERS SAD DEATH.
Evidently Unaware ne Was Approach
Ing nh ImnroYiSeu Arsenal.

Ing ImproviSeu Arsenal.
Norfolk, Nov 21.-Oscar G. Fleming,
the Princess Anne county magistrate
who last Thursday shot and killed
young Clarence L. Snyder, while the
latter, accompanied by friend, was
returning to this city from hunt,
yesterday killed one of party who
attempted to lynch him.
Fleming has turned his house into
an arsenal and every night friends
stay there with him. Sunday night
mob of about so men quietly took
position behind an outbuilding in the
yard and waited for Fleming to ap-
pear. At o'clock yesterday morn
ing O shot rang out sharply, and was
followed by several hundred from the
other side of the residence, which was
punctured both inside and out by bull
lets.
After the smoke of battle cleared
away Fleming emerged to find a man
dead in his yard Nothing was seen
or heard of the attacking party, which
had departed. The man was sockless,
shirtless, about As years old, and EVIL
IDENTIFY stranger. His gun was empty,
and beyond a small blank book, with
the name Gilmore" within on a leaf,
he had no effects. One theory is that
this man was a tramp who was ap-
preaching to solicit assistance. Pub
lie opinion exonerates Fleming from
blame in defending his home, but it
is rumored that large number OF
Snyders friends have registered vow
to kill Fleming.

Supplicntinc Filipino Prisoner.
Topeka. Kan. Nov. 21.-Lieutenant
Hall. of Lawrence. formerly of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment, in let
ter to the Topeka Journal, makes the

armed end duplicating Filipino pris-
oner. and in support of it furnishes al
fidavits of Private Husky, of the Twen-
tieth Kansas, and First Lieutenant

Elyria, o.. Nov. 21.-Colonel Wilder
Metcalf, accused by Lieutenant Hall
of having shot a Filipino prisoner, was
IN this city last night, visiting old

while on the Orange river border the
Beers are believed to be concentrate 9
at Donkerpoort to oppose General Bull
ler's advance 1t is said 5000 Beers
have already laagered at Donkers-
poort. The English plan seems to be
a threefold advance from Durham to
Ladysmith, from ORANGE river to KIM
berley and from East London, by way
of Queenstown, to Burghersdorp.
General Gatacre will be able to keep
the Beers on the Orange border sui

Methuen from undue mosestation, es-
pecially if rumors from various sources
are well founded that describe the Free
State burghers as in nowise enthusi-
astic for fighting.
Although Kimberley is supposed to
be the objective of General Methuen.
many military critics are of the opin-
ion that his advance will be not to-
ward Kimberley. but across the Orange
Free State, in order to secure com
plete command of the Orange river.

London, NOV. 21-The reports of
heavy fighting at Ladysmith last We'd
nesday have not been confirmed. On
the contrary, the most reliable advices
from EStcourt indicate that there was
nothing More than a &csultory can

serious engagement grew out of the
fact that the Beers threw few harm
Jess shells late Tuesday night, leading
to the supposton that an attack was
imminent. Nothing, however, hap
pened Wednesday.
A Ladysmlth dispatch, sent by a
runner to Estcourt, says: All is well
here, with nothing important to re-
port We are amply supplied with am
munition and confident of our ability
to hold out. Information from outside
is very scarce, but it is believed here
that the Beers now investing the town

of President Stickney, of the Great
Western road, yesterday before the
subcommittee of the national indus
trial commission, investigating rate
