keen busy at such work as he was able to
do. The house, while under the manage

able reputation. Mrs. Fuller was possess
ed of great executive ability and rare tact

friday, having previously bought the
Horton place on High street, which they
have remodeled and beautified and where
thew. and their son and wife have since
made their home. Mr.. Fuller's health had
seemed somewhat improved since coming
to Hinsdale, so that his death comes as
shock to his friends, notwithstanding ne

at winchester, officiating. Mr.. HannaforC

Mafeking, according to the South
African newspapers, was long left
practically unguarded, even after the
crisis was imminent and the people
were indignant at the Cape ministry for
allowing such condition to continue.
At one time not long ago there were
only 80 British South African police
and "A handful of Cape police there,
although the town was openly threat
ened by the Beers. The Beers there
about believed that jameson was re-
sponsible for the present trouble then
approaching, and, according to report
current there, 80 Boer women of Mall
mini had bound themselves 10y oath TO
kill DR.. Jameson. 1t was declared to
be known there that the plans of the
British camp had been in the hands of
the Beers for months. The country
surrounding the town was plagued by
swarms of locusts. Early last month
troops and ammunition began to arrive
at Mafeking and Ramatlabama, 16
miles away, and there was great to
do over the arrival of an irregular force
of 500 men who are now presumably
part OF Colonel Hoare's forces. At
that time Boer spies We're openly going
about the town and they did not hest
tate 10 make satirical comments upon
the appearance of the unbroken re-
cruits, who, if they We're sent against
the Beers, the spies said, would never
see Mafeking again.

THE DUBLIN FUSILEERS.
They Come From India-RoynI Rifles
Originally Recruited In America.


The dispatches from South Africa.
and especially those describing the
fighting at Glencoe, have undoubtedly
led to some confusion in American
minds because of the way which the
British army has of designating regi-
ments. The method at present in use
is called the territorial system. The
Royal Dublin fusileers, to whom, ac-
cording to one dispatch, the credit for
the capture of the Beers position
should be accorded, is Il regiment
raised in India some 200 years ago,
which in all probability has never been
in Ireland.
1t got the name probably for the rea-
son that at the time of the reorganiza-
ton of the army in 1881 three battal-
ions of Irish militia We're attached to
it as it's reserve. These militia bat
talions are the Dublin city militia, the
Dublin county militia and the Kildare
rifles. The two battalions of the regi-
ment at present i'll active service were
at one time two separate regiments in
India. Originally they were raised by
the British East India company, and
they are the oldest of the old Indian
regiments.
ing to the dispatches, stormed the
Beers stronghold received the name
of the ''old tOughs," because OF its rec
ord in the campaigns in India and be-
cause of its service there it has always
been well known to Englishmen when
the two battalions were united to form
the Dublin fusileers. The regiment
took for its motto two Latin words
meaning 1--WE are judged by our deeds"
They wear the regular British infantry
uniform, the scarlet coat having light
blue facings.
The Royal Rife corps, which is re-
ported to have lost heavily in it's
charge on the Beers, is noted for the
small size of its members. They are
all little men, the average height being
3 feet 6. They wear n distinctive uni
form of dark green with black facings.
The Royal Rifle corps has always been
n favorite organization with the Eng
lish, being composed of daredevils with
a lot of England'S bad boys in its rank.
The regiment, it may be interesting to
know, was originally raised in Amer
lea. 1t was recruited in New York I'M
der n special order in 100, and was
known then as the SiXty-second Royal
American regiment of foot. AS such it
fought with Wolfe before Quebec. The
members of the present corps are said
to be trained to serve as cavalry upon
occasion and their craftsmanship is
particularly fine.

Lieutenant HovyIand's Praise For
the Men In His Company.

the Men In His Company.
Writing from Manila in praise of the
efficiency of the colored troops in the
Philippines, Lieutenant Stanley How
land of the Twenty fourth infantry
says: 1T is impossible to speak too
highly of the conduct of the men in my
detachment. OF the 40, five noncom-
missioned officers and only one of the
privates had been under fire before.
The other "a were simply recruits.
We deployed just on the right of the
road in the center of the line. l had
one man killed and three wounded out
of my 20. Our total loss that day in
about 800 was two killed and IS
wounded, one of whom died later.
''All of my company who fell were
hit before we opened fire and while the
bullets were striking all around us, but
my men came on without the least
hesitation, and General Young, who
was watching the fight, said afterward
that the only trouble appeared to lie
in the difficulty of keeping them back.
1t does not seem to make any differ
ence with these colored troops whether
they are old soldiers or raw recruits.
All they want is some one to take them
along. and they will go anywhere

the BRIDGE HEARINs.
Case Of Gardiner vs.. Pittston Will Open &
Augusta, Today.

The Gardiner and Pittson bridge
hearing which the people Of this city
and vicinity have been anxiously wait
ing to hear, will commence, today, at
the court house at Augusta. Hon. A.
NJ. Spear will represent Gardiner and
Mr.. Barker will act as counsel for
Pittston. The case will be argued be-
fore Judge Wiswell who will give his
decision at the next term of court. .
1t has not been fully determined
whether the hearing will be completed
at Augusta or Gardiner. The Journal
interviewed Mr.. Spear regarding the
matter, last evening, and Mr.. Spear
said he had just telephoned to Judge
Wiswell, who was then in Augusta, to
see if it had been definitely decided
where to hold the hearing. The judge
replied that the case would open at
the court house. Augusta. Friday. but
was unable to say whether it would be
conducted at that place or at some
convenient place in Gardner
1t is the wish of Mr.. Spear that the
case be argued at the Grand Army hall
in this city. but Mr.. Barker prefers to
have the hearing at Augusta, where he
says their books of reference may be
more easily obtained. -
To Mr. Spear and the Gardiner peo-
pie it seems nothing more than fair
that the scene of the fight should be at
Gardiner. OF course every citizen in
this city is deeply interested in the
matter and doubtless would like to hear
the case argued. but If the hearing
comes off at Augusta many will be un-
able to attend.
About $4,000 is involved which makes
it all the more interesting to Gardiner
people. The case will take up the
Gardiner and Randolph part of the con-
tract. which was to keep the bridge in
repair, and the Pittston part of the
contract which was to bear the pro-
portionate part of the expense of re-
building the bridge. should for any
reason it become necessary to do so.
In 1885, freshet carried away a part
of the bridge and it became necessary
10 rebuild it. which was done, Gardiner
and Randolph paying their part of the
expense Pittston refused to pay any
part of the expense. taking the stand
that if the bridge had been kept in
good repair it would not have been
effected by the flood. and. that it was
the contract for Gardiner and Ran
dOlph to keep the bridge in repair.
which the Pittston people allege, they
failed to do.
Thus Pittston will argue the case,
that the contract had already been
broken by Gardiner and Randolph.
which makes it void. The hearing will
doubtless be largely attended wherever
held.
