METHUEN ORDERS RETREAT.

Withdrawal of British Forces at Koo- doesberg Drift to the Modder River Koodoesberg Drift, Feb. S.-The Boers yesterday made a determined attempt to drive the British from hill com manding the Drift. Mounting two seven-pounders at the northern extrem- tiy, they shelled the position intermit- tently the whole day.
 The Seaforth Highlanders gained a position on the rocky summit and kept up a sustained rifle fire but suffered somewhat from the Boers' shelling A battery was sent and succeeded in sil- encing the Boer fire. Meanwhile two companies of the Argyll Highlanders advancing along the plain in westerly direction, found the Boers intrenched at small drift. A sharp engagement followed, lasting the whole day.
 General Macdonald now only required sufficient troops to completely surround the Boers. General Babington was des- patched from Modder River with a large force of cavalry and two horse batteries, but failed to reach here, al- though he started early enough to arrive early this afternoon.
 This morning General Methuen or dered that the combined force should retire upon the Modder River, which movement is now proceeding. The British losses in the fighting on We'd nesday were fifty men killed or wound ed.

DEATH OF DIR. O'SULLIvAN OF
 DERBY.

A Prominent Democratic Leader There
 for Twenty Years.
 Derby, Feb. 9.--Dr. Thomas J. O'Sulli- van, prominent doctor and leading democratic politician, died at his home in this city this afternoon, aged forty eight years. Death was due to cancer, which first appeared under the right arm last June, and for the removal of which Dr. O'Sullivan underwent two operations the last one at St. Vincent's hospital, New York, in October. It was too late, however, to stay the progress of the disease and the patient rallied only temporarily. For several weeks before his death Dr. O'Sullivan suffered intense pain, and toward the last was delirious.
 pr. OSullivan was born in Preston, Conn.,, in March, 1852. He obtained a common school education in Norwich, graduating from the Norwich Free academy in 1S71 and then took a regu- lar college course at Nicolet college, Canada. Returning to Norwich, he be- gan the study of medicine under pr. Patrick Cassidy, later surgeon general on the staff of Governor Morris. A year later he entered the medical, col lege at Burlington, Vt, whence he went to Bellevue Medical college, New York, from which he graduated in 1876. He immediately commenced practice in Worcester, Mass., where he remained for two years and half. He then came to Derby.
 For twenty years Dr. O'Sullivan had been the democratic leader of Derby He was a burgess of the borough of Birmingham for eight years, and for three successive terms was warden. Upon the incorporation of Derby as a city he was chosen it's first mayor. He also served four years on the board of education and was registrar of vital statistics He was appointed postmas- ter of Derby in 1896, and had he lived one day longer he would have filled out his term. He was prominent Forester and Knight of Columbus, director of the Derby and Shelton board of trade and a member of many other organiza- tions As physician he was eminently successful, and, although he did more gratutous work than any other physi- clan in town, he became well endowed with worldly goods. He leaves a widow and a son and a daughter by his first wife, aged thirteen and fourteen years also a sister, Mrs. John Donahue and two half-sisters, Mas P. J. O'Connor and Mrs. Hannah Cronan, and a half-brother, John F. OSullivan, all of Norwich.

RAPID MILK WAGON,

A horse attached to a milk wagon dashing down Chapel street very early yesterday morning was promptly ar- rested by D. T. Quinn, the starter of the Fair Haven and Westville Railway company.
 The tardy driver was pursuing it, but, being badly handicapped, he did not make very creditable showing. He said that he had only gone into a store to buy something when the horse be- gan to move With rapidly accelerated motion. It was very confidential horse, he said, and never known to run away before. The team belonged to J. H. Webb of the Valley Farm Creamery. The horse decided not to smash through any drug store windows and the run away was innocent. No harm was done, save to the milk, which presently was churned into lovely quality of butter.

Sturgis of New Haven will speak on George Henry Ronanes, the English naturalist. The particular interest in the life of RomaneS, who was bril- liant scientist, a close friend of Dar- win and a man of most interesting per- sonality, lies in the fact that he first thought himself out of the religion into which he had been trained, and after many years found his way back, by course of reason similar to that by which he had first lost his faith. In the latter case he had the broader field of full life to which to apply his req Eoning. Romanes published "A Can did Examination of the~ Grounds of Theistic Belief early in his life. The conclusions of this able paper are ab- solutely hopeless. The contrast with his last written lines is most striking and interesting.
