The Wrestling Match at Baltimore
Easy for the Champion.
BALTIMORE. Nd, Sept. 6.-Ernest
Roeber tonight defeated George Burlingame
for the wrestling championship in one fall.
The men had met twice before and both
contests resulted in draws. The men went
on the mat at 10 o'clock. Roeber assumed
the aggressive from the start and got
Burlingame on the mat. He got three
hammer locks and came within an ace of
pinning his man, but the Baltimorean
showed great skill in squirming out OF
danger Roeber got another hammer lock
hold, and Burlingame, in trying to break
It. severely wrenched his left shoulder
and could offer no further resistance and
the German had no trouble In putting
both shoulders to the mat. The time was
IL minutes and AZ seconds. The contest
was to be two falls out of three, but
Burlingame's shoulder was so badly IN
iured that he was unable to continue and
forfeited the match to Roeber.

Attempted SUICIDE.
Mrs. Samuel Novelli Shoots Herself
With Revolver.

Mrs. Samuel NOyelli was found
in her room at her residence on Maple
Avenue Saturday afternoon shortly
before o'clock lying on the floor the
blood was flowing from bullet hole
at her right ear and a revolver with
two empty chambers was found on the
floor beside her. 1t was clearly case
of attempted suicide. She has been
conscious all of the time and the phy-
sicianS think now that there is a
chance for her recovery although at
first it was considered doubtful.
The circumstances connected with
the case are peculiar. She has always
been young lady of remarkably pleas
ant disposition and was loved by all
who knew her. The domestic rela-
tions have always been pleasant and
the only cause that can be attributed
to the strange occurance is temporary
insanity.
Not half an hour before the shoot
ing she was on the street. She went
to ID. NJ. Miles store and ordered some
coal then went home. Just before 60
ing into the house she stopped to chat
with one of her neighbors Mrs. VIM.
Wright and made the remark then
that she was not feeling we'll.
Soon after this Joseph Layery who
was putting load of coal into the eel
lar heard pistol shot inside. He ran
upstairs and found Mrs. Novelli in the
above mentioned condition. lie placed
her on the bed and sent for medical
assistance. DIS. McSweeney, Reid
and Ligouri came and found her in a
precariOus condition. The bullet did
not enter the brain but lodged some
where in the skull.
Her husband Samuel Novelli is a
noted sculptor. 1t was he who carved
the Burns Statue in this city. He
was at work i'm Barclays shed when
the news of the sad affair came to his
ears.

VEIL LIFTED
Official Dispatch from Gen.
White Received
is HOLDING HIS own
More than that, he is Attack
ing the Beers.

London, Nov. 8. - An immense
weight was lifted from the public
mind by the brief official despatch re-
ceived this morning by which the
Continental stories of disaster at Lady.
smith were proved to be false.
However, the despatch revived the
anxiety i'm more minds in another
direction, as it was indicated in the
despatch that Gen. White instead OF
sitting still and acting wholly on the
defensive persists in making sorties,
thus risking another Nicholsons Mex
disaster.
The irruption Of the Beers into
Cape Colony is beginning to awaken
the British, who now fear they have
greatly underestimated the forces
they have to meet, and even Buffers
task does not seem to be SO easy as
was anticipated.
1t II becoming apparent t!lat all the
British calculations which were based
ON the population are hopelessly at
sea- or else there has been a serious
break among the Dutch sympathizers
from Natal and Cape Colony who must
have joined the Beers in large num-
bers.

MRS. SARAH DOWNING
Passed to Her Long Rest Saturday
Night.

Washington, VT, November o.
Mrs. Sarah Downing, one of Wash.
ington's best known and best beloved
women, died at her home in this place
last Saturday evening, after long i'll.
ness OF typhoid fever, aged 73 years.
She was the daughter Of the late Ben
iamin and Sally (Nelsom Waterman,
and was born in Orange, where hel
younger days were passed. She was
married at an early age to Harry
Downing of Washington, and here she
resided many years and reared a fam
lily of eight children.
Although her life was one Of great
trial and hardships she never lost that
sunny, cheerful disposition, which was
one of her characteristics all through
life and won for her the friendship
and cordial esteem of all her neigh
bors and acquaintances. She was ever
ready with a helping hand to assist
those in need and distress and her
presence will be sadly missed, not only
by her sorrowing children, but by
many Others who have reaped the ben
eits of her aid and counsel. She had
resided in Montpelier some four years
previous to 80 and is now survived by
