there have been whispered rumors of
the sudden departure of prominent
business man from this city, and yes
terday the story was repeated, with
such evidence of its substantial cor
fectness as to warrant newspaper in
yestigation. 1t is said that Mr.. T. b.
cappron has left the city with no inten-
ton OF returning again to live; that a
lcertain young woman, Mrs. Addie Carr,
formerly employed at the old Chaplin

alleged that Mr.. Cappron has written

Aside from the estimate Of Ex-Governor
Campbell, there has been no definite
claim made for the democratic vote.
Campbell says McLean's plurality will
be 10000 If the democrats keep united.
There has been a democratic muddle in
Cleveland and in Cincinnati there is a
well-defined opinion that George b.
Cox's interest in the republican party
is much more concerned about the sue
cess of the county than the state ticket.
These influences may offset each other
by reducing the Nash vote in Cincin-
natl as much as 1t reduces the Mclean
vote in Cleveland. But, in both cases,
there is a strong probability that Jones,
Independent, will be the beneficiary
The claims made for Nash vary from
10000 to 10000 plurality. dependent on
the uncertainty as to how the Jones
vote will affect he republican vote.

Evacuation Of Colenso Believed to
Be For Purpose Of Aiding
Pietermaritzburg.

London, Nov. 6.-An immense weight
was lifted from the public mind today
by brief official dispatch, published
this morning, showing that the CONT
mental stories to the effect that Gen.
Whites force at Ladysmith had sur
rendered are false; but further anxiety
is caused by the evidence that White,
instead of remaining entirely on the
defensive, is risking other disasters by
sending out sorties. Generally, how
ever, the CHEEKY tone of the dispatch,
showing there is no anxiety at Lad
smith in regard to the ability of the
beleaguered forces to hold their own
had an excellent effect on the country,
and the fact that White was able to
shell the Boer camp is thought to indi-
cate that he is not so closely invested
as supposed. The ability Of the Beers
to invade Cape Colony is awakening
the fear that some of the Dutch in the
British possessions have joined the
Boer forces, as otherwise the Boerl
number can not be accounted for. 1t
is thought the evacuation of Colenso
may be for the purpose of reinforcing
Pietermaritzburg, which, it is said, is
Threatened by the Beers. 1t is said the
evacuation of Stormberg may have
been for the purpose of hurrying for
ward the supplies there to Durham, for
the use of Methun's division, which
Butler may have decided to send to
