1t is interesting to note that the young
men who had been students in law offices
ranked higher than those who had been at
tending law schools.
This is the first instance since the new
rules were adopted in 1884, when the entire
class passed the requisite examinations
When the result was announced to the
claas by w. W. Stickney of the examining
committee, Ex-Mayor 7. II. Brown, of Rut-
land, for the class, thanked the committee
for the courtesy and fair treatment the
young men had received.
AT nine o'clock this morning the class
gathered in the supreme court room at the
State House where the oath was admins

Mrs. Austin HaZen.

Mrs. Hazsn came to this city recently
from Randolph and was living with Mrs.
Thurber at 50 East State street. She had
spraned an ankle and had come here for
surgical treatment. She was taken with
pneumonia, and although she seemed to be
doing well and there was no apprehension
OF fatal result she grew rapidly worse
and died Thursday morning.
Mrs. Hazon was the widow OF Rev. Aus
tin Hazen, for many years a pastor Of the
Congregational church at Richmond, Vt
Some years ago Mr. and Mrs. Haz9n we mt
to Europe for a brief stay and on the return
voyage Mr. Hazan died and was buried at
sea Mrs. Hazen was a sister OF Rev. l..
III. Elliot of Waterbury. She was lady Of
refinement and culture and beautiful Chris
tian character. She possessed a fine liter
airy gift and some years ago occasionally
contributed lines to the WATCHMAN which
were characterized by the birthmsrk OF a
true poet. Her age was sixty-oue years.
There were brief services at 81 East State
street on Saturday at half past nine A. NJ.
Her remains were then taken to Rich
mond and at that place, at 1890, funeral
services were held. Burial WAS at Jericho

L. Beardsley and others. The next meet
ing of the executive council OF the league
will be held Wednesday evening, Novem-
bel 8, in the small vestry OF Trinity church.
The comments OF the JOURNAL recently
on Alderman Whelan's action in city coun-
Gil in the matter of fast driving have been
generally commended, and in the same
connection the suggestion has been made
that the police be instructed to take scorch-
ers, also, by the ear and lead them up to
the city court for amercement. And the
suggestion s an exceedingly pertinent one.
The scorcher is almost as deadly menace
to life and limb as the fast driver. Re-
Gently young girl was run into and Sc
verely hurt though no serious injury was
inflicted. A rider of a wheel recently
turned out from behind team to pass 1t
when he encountered scor cher coming
from the opposite direction. A head-end
collision ensued. The rider who had been
violently to the pavement, receiving a
severe scalp wound but escaping-no
thanks to the scorcher-without broken
bones. But such an occurrence cannot
happen without risk of serious and posi-
bly fatal iniury-and the risk is present
whenever the scorcher is on the rampage.
III, A, Skinner returned Friday morning
from Niles, Mich, where he went few
days ago to buy stock of winter apples.
He made no purchase, however. Upon ar
irving there he found, Notwithstanding the
apple crop this year in Michigan is the
largest by far in four years, yet about two
weeks since southeast wind swept over
the state, which, combined with the action
of the sun literally baked the apples as
| they hung upon the trees, thus rendering
them unfit for shipment. The intense heat
shrivelled and softened the fruit in the
same manner that it would il the fruit had
been placed near hot fire. Mr.. Skinner
was informed by an old resident there that
never before, except once, had the same
thing occurred to the fruit crop in this State
ped some 800 barrels of these apples to
dealers in his city was notified If he could
not send them anything better than cider
apples he had better keep them himself

LONDON, OFT. % -Rumors of for.
eign con pllCGtluns derive strong con-
tirmation from the activity of England's
naval preparations. These are not de-
signed for the Beers. For them the
army is wanted. Details of the activ.
ity at the dock yards and naval stations
are coming in hot and fast.
Naval preparations had been under
consideration for some months, before
war with the Beers began, as precau-
tionaIy measure. These have now, it
is surmised, advanced TO a condition of
naval demonstration rendered neces-
sary by evidence of hostile purpose
in Europe.
Whether or not this surmise of hos.
tile European combination is true, the
naval reserves are ordered 10 be in
readiness to rej0n their ships at TWEEN
ty-fOur hours notice, while all the
cruisers of the reserve class have been
notified to be ready to sail in the same
time limit These vessels, though at
the dock yards, are never out of COM
mission, and are always supposed to be
ready for immediate manning. A dozen
cruisers ranging from 600 10 II 600
tons are now only waiting the word 10
embark The crews.
Work on the uncompleted vessels is
also being hurried day and night. The
special attention being paid to the
cruisers is taken by many naval author
tiles to indicate that Great Britain in
tends to form menacing flying squad
ron, using the term "menacing' be-
cause the naval force at sea now is am.
pie to convoy the transports and is
thoroughly capable of preventing any
interference in South African waters.
While the British officials do not con.
cesl their knowledge of German,
French and Russian antagonism and
their irritation thereat, they do not
give the slightest hint of probability
that European hostility will crystalline
into any overt act.
But the belief that Great Britain is
on the verge Of crisis, or even con-
iict far greater than that in the Trans
vaal, has many supporters, though the
lack OF all official confirmation tavors
the conservative view that the re-
markabe military and naval activity is
due to desire TO take thorough pre-
cautions which, though omiuous, have
at present no special bearing upon
Great Britain's European relations.

CAPE Town, Oct. 27.-Detsils of
skirmishng about Kimbe ly indicate a
smart engagement between the Beers
and British, which took place outside
of the town. The British, commanded
by Col. Scott Turner, advanced pro-
tected by an armored train. A second
train followed, carrying ammunition.
Turner was soon reinforced by Col.
Murray, leading seventy troopers and
two Maxims. A force of seven hun
bred Beers engaged. The Maxims
played havoc with the Beers. They
returned the artillery fire unsteadily
at first. An armored train with hun
dred aud fifty men aboard was then
run forward. At the same time Ian
cashire regiment charged under cover
of the Maxims and drove the Beers

were bayoneLted. The British had two

In South Africa.

LONDON, Oct. pa few more vic
tories like Glencoe and Elandslaagte
would leave the British troops without
officers. While the Beers have failed
to take advantage of their strategic po-
sition, owing TO the Incompetence or
haste of their leaders, the British have
no cause for congratulations over the
results of the Natal operations. They
have suffered heavy losses in men, and
their victories have practically gone for
nothing, the whole of northern Natal
being now abandoned to The Beers.
1t would have been better to have
concentrated on Ladysmilh in the first
instance, but General White and Gen.
eral Symons had TO yield to political
eXjgencies and TO the local reluctance
to abandon an inch Of territory more
than was necessary. Lis not expected
that the wounded left at Dundee will
suffer inconvenience except in being
prisoners of war. The news Of unrest
in BasutUland causes much anxiety.
The correspondents who were taken
prisoners at Eandslaagte have since
escaped. They report that they were
well treated by the Beers and that in
collecting and assisting the wound,
ed, Beers and British seem to have
been mutually helpful.
The war office dispatches seem to
realize the worst fears. Gen. Yule has
abandoned not only Dundee, bat Glen
coe also, and so far as present news
would indicate he has neither ioined
General White nor reached Ladysmith.
General Whites successful action"
announced in Parliament by Mr..
Wyndham, seems to resolve itself into
mere engaging of the attention of the
Free State troops, while Gen. Yule is
slipping southwark.
1t is evident from the official des-
patches that Gen. Joubert's column on
The north and the Orange Free State
troops on the west now occupy strong
positions and that nothing binders the
Beers from following up Gen. Yule's
retirement and getting round Lady
smith from the southeast. Until rein
forcements arrive it seems Gen. White
is obliged to concentrate On Lady
smith.
Gen. Yule had heavy march on
Monday over the S ratford slopes and
the Zlrfontein Table both over 5000
feet high and arrived after dusk at
Beth, which is half way between
Rorkes Drift and Waschbanli. He had
still heavy march and was hardl,

The New Jail.

According to the contract the new county
Jail was to have been completed by October
l, but it is not now expected that it will be
ready for occupancy before the middle of
next month.
The cause of the delay does not lie with
the Pauly Jail Company, the contractor,
for it has been baked by being unable to
get the steel for the cells. Superintendent
Turpin say there are only two concerns in
this country which make five.ply case

ment and safe manufacturers, and have
been so rushed that they have been forced
