Unfortunate Homicide.

On hast Sunday afternoon, about
o'clock, an unfortunate difficulty occurred
in Burkes Garden, in which a young man
by the name of robe Heldreth killed
another young man by the name Of Worth
Bean.
4 1t seems that Heldreth had been waiting
O.. young sister of Bean, and that the lat
ter, with other members of the family, OBJ
iected to Heldreth showing the young
woman attention.
On Sunday Heldreth was escorting the
young lady hone from church and the
difficulty arose. We understand that Bean
assaulted Heldreth and that two brothers
of Bean joined in the assault; that Hell
dreth had been struck with a rock and was
down when he shot the deceased man, who
was standing over or on him with stick.
What we have heard about the affair is
heresay, but the impression seems to be
that the shooting was in self defence. We
learn that the ball from the pistol went in
to the heart and on up into the mouth of
Bean, from which it was removed.
The difficulty occurred on what is known
as the Cooper farm, On Monday there
was preliminary trial before C. H. Gree
yer, jpstice O. the peace, who sent Hell
dreth on for Indictment by the grand jury.
He Is now 10 the all 1T this place.

Something About Results in Different
States.

Ohio gives Nash, Republican candidate
for governor, plurality Of nearly 5O,OOG.
Kentucky, according to latest reports,
has been carried by Taylor, Republican
candidate for governor, by an estimated
majority of 5000. Goebel says he will
contest before the Legislature, which IS
Democratic. This means that he will try
to get the legislature TO help him steal the
governorship.
In New Jersey the Republicans gain
$4,000, carrying the State handsomely.
The Fusionsts have carried Nebraska
by about Is 600.
Maryland is Democratic by 1900.
Massachusetts gives a Republican ma
jolity Of $1,000.

jority Of 600, a gain of 10000,
In Pennsylvania the Republican State
ticket is elected by 100000.
Iowa is Republican by 10000.
In Mississippi, with GO,C00 votes poled,
the Democratic majority is So, 900.
The result in Virginia. is just what the
machine chose to make it. Very few in
dependents have been elected, and only
two or three Republicans.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The election in Virginia was farce. The
reports from all sections are that a light
vote was cast. 1t is evident the people
considered it useless to fight the machine.
The war between the Beers and British
in South Africa is much boodier and will
be much more protracted than most persons
at first dreamed it would be. Such con.
flict is to he regretted, and the sooner it
ceases the better it will be for civilization.
A telegram, of the 5th inst, from Mem
phis, Tenn, says: "There is SO much
prosperity in the South that commerce
now shuts out crime and gossip. There
never was such commercial activity" But
the South will be for Bryan in 1900. Will
the political folly of the South never cease?
Admiral Dewey has settled the talk
about his being candidate for the Presi-
dency. In a recent interview with re.
porter of the Philadel phia Press he said
81 have never wanted to be President.
l would not under any circumstances
be a candidate for the office. When
the subject was first broached after the
battle of Manila, | made up my mind [
would not think of such proposition. I
have never had my determination upon
the point weakened at all. do not think
General Grant added to his fame by be-
coming President. He had no previous
training in politics. Neither have had.
Neither have any political ambitions. l
would not, therefore, run for the Presi-
dency upon any consideration"

Estcourt, Natal, Sunday, November g.
1:30 p. ma reliable native has brought
confrmatory evidence of Fridays fight
south of Ladysmith. A reconnaissance in
force was made by British division, the
object being to relieve the Colenso column,
which had been attacked by the Beers.
The British infantry charged the Beers,
who were strongly posted on GIoberskloh
Hill, and drove them down on the plain
toward the Tugela river. Then the British
cavalry, executing fine fianking move
ment, charged the Beers, almost annlhilat-
ing them. The plains were strewn with
the slain Beers.
An armored train has again left for Co
lenso with a company of the Dublin Fusi-
lters and railroad engineering staff to
repair the line. No fighting is supposed to
have occurred Saturday, as no firing was
heard.

A Quiet Affair and Small Vote PoIIed.

The election on Tuesday for represen-
tative of the people of Tazewell county in
the House of Delegates of Virginia, was the
quietest and least exciting that ever was
held in the county. There was but one
name on the official ballot, that of Mr..
Joseph S. Moss. AS there was no contest,
very few people turned out, and of those
who came to the polls about rs were dis
pleased with the candidacy of Mr.. Moss
and voted against him. Below we give

Localities Under AmericanCo Control
Are Prospering.
Commission Pays Tribute to Our Soldiers
and Sailors.

"There were no conferences" Gays the
report, "between the officers of the Fill
pinos and our officers with view of
operating against the Spaniards. nor was
there 90 operation of any kind. There
never was any pge-concerted operations
or any combined movement by the Unit
ed States and Ei.ipinos against tho Span
iards.''
The commission Is OF the opinion that
there has been no time since the cestruc-
tion or the Spani 81 squadron by Admiral
Dewey when it was possible to withdraw
our forces from the islands, either with
honor to our service or with safety to the
Inhabitants.
The commission then takes up the con-
dition OF the country at the time of its ar
rival, comparing 1t with conditions exist.
Ing at the time 1t lett a,saort tia,e ago.
A vivid picture Ia given Of the anarchy
existing among the Inhabitants, In and
about Manila. during the early spring.
The report continues;
| "Before the commission left the Phil
ippines, nearly all the Inhabitants had
returned to these ruined villages. Many
of the houses had been rebuilt. Fields
that had lain fsliow for three years
were green with growing crops. Munich
pal governments hal been established,
and the peopls protected by our troops,
were enjoying peace, security and degree
of participation In their own govern
ment, previously unknown In the his
tory of the Philippines. Attempts of the
insurgents to raise recruits and money in
the province OF Bulacan were proving z
abortive, except when backed by bayo.
nets and bullets, and even in such oasss
the natives were applying 10 us for help
to resist them. %
One of the closing chapters of the re-
port Is devoted to u tribute to our soldiers
and sailors In the war. The commis sion-
ers diFmiss the reports of the deseorating
of churches, the numbering of prisoners
AMI the committing cf unmentionable
crimes, and say they are glad to express
the bslief that war was never more
humanely conducted
The report concludes; "Our control
mems to the Inhabitants of the Philip
pines internal peace and order, suaran-
tee against foreign aggression and against
