Points in the Transvaal.
BURCHERS READY FOR THE FIELD.
Martial Law to lie Proclaimed Tuesday or
Wednesday Beers Massing Near
the Frontier aud About to
Attack Dundee.

London, Ont. Oct. 2.-From nearly
all points in the Transvaal, Natal
and Cape Colony come reports of
continued military activity on the
frontiers and, while the movement of
individual commands as yet do not
show concocted plans. it is evident that
the narrow strip of Natal, whose apex
is crowned with the Ominous name of
Mahjubi hill, will be the center of the
coming storm. The Beers have estab-
lished camp at Seheeper's Mex, near
Vryheid, and they will mobilize
great force on the Buffalo river to-day,
which the authorities at Dundee eX-
pect will move across the border to
that spot, probably at once. 1t is be-
lieved that a conflict at this point viii
certainly occur early in the week. At
the same time the Beers are collecting

of Levi Cooley of Newtonville, known as
Pine hill, was burned to the ground this
afternoon, entailing loss of about
$4,000. The fire started from defective
chimney on the ell, and, spread to the

cope with the flames, and Hudson was
appealed to. She responded by send
ing hook and ladders, which did excel
lent work in saving the outbuildings.
Local residents succeeded in saving
the greater part of the furnishings in
the house, or the loss would have been
much larger. The building was three

tanned 20 rooms.
Mr.. Cooley does a china decorating
business in Boston, his permanent res
idence being at Newtonville. Last May
he purchased the Pine Hill residence

health. had unsettled Mrs. Talhot's
mind
She left note saying that the bodies
of herself and child would be found in
the river near Mrs. aGilman's, and that
she should have taken the other ,l,l'd,
boy of six years, if she could have
planned it.
She had evidently contemplated the
act for some time, as she had been
found near the river with the children
several times. Everything seemed all
right last night at IL o'clock, and MIR.
Talbot heard nothing Of his vile but
missed her at 6 o'clock this morning.
Her maiden name was Henrietta

John Madigan, a former well known
resident of this city, fell from a pile of
hay in Boylston yesterday afternoon
and died almost instantly.
Mr.. Madigan had a shock a short time
ago and a recurrence of this is sup
posed to have accounted for the fall,
which resulted in his death
Mr.. Madigan was SO years old and
lived in Worcester nearly all his life
until about year ago, when he moved
70 Boylston where he has lived with
ms son James, the father and son car
rying on small farm together. The
Madigan house on Spring street was
more or less famous because of the
character of the men who owned it and
the nature of the celebrations held there
in years gone by
Mr.. Madigan was staunch temper
ance man and was deeply interested in
the formation and progress of the Fa-
ther Mathew Society of this city. His
little home on Spring street was a
bright spot in the midst of the pervad-
ing atmosphere of the neighborhood in
which it was located, with neat flower
beds in front and general air of COM
fort.
II was MS custom to buy large
stocks of provisions, such as dozens of
barrels of -four, half as many more Of
sugar, bacon and other food stuffs.
which he placed in a certain room in
his house. On Christmas and other
holidays he kept open house and in
variably hung out the American and
Irish flags at both ends of his dwelling.
The walls of his house were hung with
pictures illustrating the evils of intern
perance.
He was employed for a number of
years as Waterman for the city water
department but few years ago be-
came involved in a suit against the
municipality on account of land taken
in front of his house ard short time
afterward lost his place. This fat
worried the old man and finally he
moved out of the city.
Mr.. Madigan has one daughter, Mrs.
Mullay, who lives at 20 Spring street.

Value. 81 1s


Washington, July 1S.-The navy de-
partment has ordered an appraisal of
the captured Spanish cruiser Maria
Teresa, and of all the war material re-
covered from the other ships engaged
in the battle Of Santiago bay This
step is due to a question raised as to
the right of prize money growing out
of the capture of this ship.
The Teresa was the one cruiser
raised, and although she went adrift
while on her way to this country and
is an abandoned hulk on Cat island, It
is claimed in some quarters that the
raising was sufficient to warrant the
payment of prize money. The ap-
