Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. q. - Senator

The Gamb. i'll tragedy occurred early

thought that the fire was the result of

vealed circumstances so suspicious
that a more searching investigation
was made. and Ii was soon established
beyond doubt that the family had

and burned alive. No one sent n mer-

Andrew Smith escaped from the mob
while Lefiore was being burned and
has not yet been captured. Bob Smith
was tied to another stake and fire
started. though he was finally released
as there was possibility of his prov

The sheriff of Leake county went to
the scene OF the tragedy yesterday
afternoon and took the negro Robert
Smith and three negro women, who

started to Carthage, the county seat.

THE BOERs FAILED.
In Their EndenyOrs to Execute n
Combined Attack.

Combined Attack.
London. Oct. 22.--The dispatches re-
Iceived from South Africa leave no
doubt that the Beers failed in their
pndeavor to execute combined attack
| i'm Natal, but that the British have
achieved brilliant victory, but at tae
cost of a heavy list of killed AID
wounded.
The Boer plan, 1t is evident, was to
held the force ut Iadysmlth by
demonstrations by the Free state
burghers on the western side, so as 10
prevent reinforcements being sent 10
Glencoe The latter place was to be
isolated by destroying the railway be-
tween it and Ladysmith. Finally n
largo force was TO make combined
attack OH Glencoe.
The first two items of the pro-
gramme were successfully carried out,
but the combined operation against
Glencoe failed. owing, probably, to
the fact that the Boer military organi-
zatlon is too rough and amateurish to
bring large forces into simultaneous
action. 1t is believer that only 1000
Beers were In the actual action. A re-
port says that 5000 more We're adj
yancing from Hatynspruit anu bat
talon Of the Leicestershlre regiment
was sent to hold them in check, but,
rs already cabled, this force Is now In
retreat. The inference is that only
the column from the direction of Frei-
held came into action, and that the
force from Ingagne failed to arrive in
time. and definitely failed after the
fol. h,,t hn Hlr m. m
umn had been carried by the British
troops.
1t is almost impossible to overesti-
mate the Importance Of this initial vic
tory. the result of an engagement on n
fairly fought field, where discipline
and efficiency have told. After more
than eighteen years the Beers and the
British have again met, not far from
Laing's Mex and Majuba Hill, with
an entirely different result, and If the
defeat does not lead to wholesale de-
sertions from the Boer forces in dis
gust at the happiness Of their leaders,
it has had important results. Besides
restoring British prestige, 1t has
proved that the Boer artillery, whether
directed by Germans or not, is prac-
t,cally yalueless.
On the other hand. 1t has proved to
the Beers that the British artillery is
quite effective. tbs possible that the
plugged shells were defective.
The report that the British captured
twelve guns appears to be correct,
generally.
1t is hoped from the latest reports
than Gen. Symons' wound is not NOR
tai. ii is expected that his command
will now be entrusted to Sir Archibald
Hunt While expressing sympathy
with the gallant officer and regret that
his services are lost to the forces, the
editorials in this mornings's papers
are ringing with songs of victory and
ridicule Of the Boer threats TO drive
the British into the sea. The general
belief is that the Beers will now con-
fine themselves to guerilla tactics.
The Daily Mails Ladysmith CORE
spondent, telegraphing Friday. says:

Beers, undeterred by the defeat of the
northern army, are advancing, and 1t
is reported that an engagement is i'm

London. Oct. 2L-Yesterday was one
| of the NEST exciting days known at the
war oiace since the crowd attended
there to learn the result of the relief
expedition to Gordon at Khartoum.
The news that the Fifth Lancers
had been engaged brought many
ladies and other friends of the regl-
| rnent 10 inquire for news. The gravest
intelligence seems To be the report OF
the capture of a train with officers
near E[lnlaagto. because it was un-
derstood that the whole cross line was
largely patrolled OF what occurred
at the front it is impossible to gain
definite information, but 1t is known
that Gen. Sir George Stewart White
has been making some extensive
movements Of troops in that neighbor-
hood and developments are hourly ex-
pected.
Commandant Gen. Jouberts north
ern column, with twelve guns, is now
at DaLnhauser.
Although the Beers have shown con-
sidera bic activity in Natal, there is
nothing to indicate that they are yet
prepared for q serious combined at
tack and the general belief here is
that unless something unexpected
happens, Gen. Sir Stewart White will
maintain the defensive.
Mafeking news is still confined TO a
repetition of the stories that Col.
Ba1en-f'owell moved down 800 Beers
with his maxims.
The surrender of Vryburg is not of
great Importance, nut it will be re-
garded throughout Boredom as a
splendid triumph over the British.
Some military critics think ii not inn
possible that Gen. Sir Stewart White
may be able TO withdraw his forces
from Glencoe and concentrate them
at Ladysmith, there TO await develop
ments. The latest advices received
here say tina. the native carbineers
who were engaged with the enemy ut
BeesteTs station had six men
wounded. An armoreI train has been
sent from Ladysmith to bring in the
wounded. Several spies have been ar,
rested at Ladysmith.
The admiralty has made large con-
tracts for the supply of coal to all
British coaling stations on the way to
the Cape, SO that any British squadron
will be able to coal without weaken
Ing the present supply.
1t is stated that the cruisers Argo-
naut, Furious. Pactolus and Pelerus,
from the Channel sudadron. will es-
cort the transports from Queenstown
to the Cape.
London. Oct. 20.-The Cape Town
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, tele-
at 10 o'clock last night, says:
"Vryburg surrendered Sunday night.
Dispatches from Kuriman. ninety
miles west by south Of Vryburg, state
that the police, having withdrawn
from Vryburg, the town surrendered
to the Beers.

Commercial Agent w. p. Atwell
writes to the Department Of State from
Roubaix as follows: Russia is about
to become a large producer OF raw cot
ton. The Trans-Caucasian country
has cotton lands in the valley Of
Koura, near Elisabethpol, in the high
plain of Erivan, as we'll as in other
localities. and judicious irrigation will
extend these fields. Russian Turkestan
is, however. destined to become the
greatest cotton-producing section, and
will shortly be rival of Egypt. In
1890 Russian Turkestan had $4,000 hec-
tares Q4S,260 aeres) planted with up
land cotton. This land yielded 14,SS0,-
600 Kilograms (32,804,44S pounds) OF
cotton. In 1895 the production amount
ed to S0,000,O00 Kilograms (i76,S6S,-
600 pounds) of upland and 1885, 900
Kilograms (20,579,941 pounds) OF ma
tive cotton. Russian Turkestan should
produce more than 10000, 900 kilo-
grams (264,552, 900 pounds) OF textile
growth. Russia" says the authority
quoted. "can already do without Egypt

It is in Germany OF all European
countries that trusts have spread most
extensively and have been most sue
cessful, writes Wilhelm Berdrow. Who
ever may have expected to find Eng
land in this leading position should be
reminded that the German states, in
respect to the tremendous increase oil
industry and the extraordinary growth
os their great cities, bear the most
striking resemblance to the United
States and furnish the most fruitful
soil for the growth of Industrial com.
binations. The German technical
journals for 1897 enumerate about 1St
trusts, of which, 1t is true, only few
would correspond to American ideas
but all of which demonstrate a capacity
for wider combination and fuller de-
velopment.

Sir William Preece, the distinguished
English authority on sanitation, fore
sees time when We shall all be cen
tenarians that is to say, those Of us
who live long enough. 1t is encourag-
ing, too, to learn from so great an au-
thority as G. F. Watts, the royal acade-
mician, that the secret OF this longevity
is hard work" When certain civic
circles learn OF this, committee rooms
will doubtless be deserted and factory
gates besieged.

within a few weeks thousands oil
schoolhouses have opened to millions
of children. There they are to be edu-
Gated; but is not education, rightly un-
derstood, the highest business OF the
family and the church, as we'll as the
school? Humanity cannot live on ita
present gains. Heredity cannot save
us. Unless associated with superior
beings, domestic animals-horses, cat
tie, swine, dogs and cats-become wild
in a single generation. Every child
will be a savage unless cared for, in
structed, trained. But the whole OBJ
ject of culture should be the complete
development OF being capable OF SELF
direction and social service-capable OIL
going alone and going with others.

lumber by the saw mills of this city

last year, with a proportionate falling
