No doubt is expressed that the controll-
ing interest and a very much larger por-
tion of the stock will be sold to the syn
dicate. The price offered is higher than
was ever attained by the stock in the mar
ket despite the great success of the COM
pany and the very large dividends always
paid.
The identity of the purchaser is shroud-
ed in mystery in the circular, but 1t is gen.
orally conceded that Mr.. Stevens syndicate
is to be the new owner of the corpora

got through from there last night
which announced that the Beers
where threatening Colenso, twenty
miles south OF Ladysmith, where
there is big railroad bridge.
II the Beers should destroy this,
White would be isolated. Gener-
al White would abandon Lady
smith were it not for the immense
quantity ofmilitary stores there.
These amount to about one-half
Of the total British forces in Sou tn
Africa. When they were placed
there it was not dreamed the town
would BE- beseiged.
Ladysmith, Oct. 31-Midnight.-
The Beers have unmasked the new
batteries which are easily silenced
only to break out again when the
British fire slackens.
1t is thought the bombardment
which is not serious, is designed
simply to distract attention W lille
the Beers are being moved to the
rear OF the town.
Colcnso, in the rear, is being
threatend by Boer forces.
The naval brigade now has four
long range guns mounted.

ords. IS
Mr.. Bird claimed the other side
was only surprised.
Mr.. Biggs claimed that unless
the phrase "Or words to that effect"
was used, the witness had to stick

The court said it would be very
glad to hear authorities and would
examine this matter during recess.

called in consultation with DR..
Chandler the day after the accident.
He found Mrs. Don ahoe in bed and
complaining bitterly OF pain in the
lett chest, breast and hip. She
seemed TO think the pain was in
tense.
He examined her and found no
marks Of injury. The hip showed
a bruise and knew that it was not
one of recent occurrence. Mrs.
Donahoe informed him that she fell
on the stairs. He could see no
reason why she did not walk.
DR.. John Palmer was called to
see Mrs. Donahoe and on the morn
ing after the accident he found her
in bed suffering from shock. He
examined her and found no disturb
ance of the bones. In his Judgment
she had not become thoroughly con-
